Is it normal for one of my bunnies to appear to be nibbling on his sister’s face? In her forehead/nose area. I moved his sister back over with him about two weeks ago; they hadn’t been living together since they were babies. They’re both about 2 years and 5 months old. His sister seems to be...

Seems to be healing so far. I’ve been squeezing a bit of antibiotic ointment onto it every so often. There’s a lot of scabbing over, but as far as I can tell it looks normal and other than occasionally scratching at the bandage, he seems unbothered by it and is playing as usual :).

Okay, thank you! My husband is much better at handling the bunny than I am -- I think he senses my uncertainty and always runs away from me. He'll squish himself down for my husband though and let him do things like clip his nails and such lol. So I'll wait until he is able to check on the wound...

Hi, My lop was trying to bite his sister through a baby gate that we had up to separate them. He got his ear caught in it somehow and panicked, pulled it down on himself, and tore away from the gate. I did not see the original wound, but my husband said it is a tear at the end of his ear that...

Same! And yeah, the rabbit loves it. Although I will say that he gets impatient with spinning it lol, so he has taken to just grabbing the seal and smacking it around on the wall and other objects to get food to pop out XD. We actually had to buy him a new one because he had warped the seal so...

Thanks! We made a schedule for all 3 rabbits just so we know what all of them are eating. My husband works 3rd shift, so we’re often with the bunnies at different times and weren’t always coordinating. Thumper loves playing with his little spinny toy where food comes out, so I’ve been giving...

Oh, never mind. My husband said he was giving them greens too, so I think we were giving an adequate amount. Just need to switch over to ones other than kale and spinach then, I guess.

Oh wow. I didn't even know they weren't born with their ears like that lol. One of our 3 lops had 1 ear partially up and the other down as a baby, so we just assumed that was how his ears would be. But they have been down for a while now and we assumed it was just more comfortable for him that...

^ Uh, so. I could’ve sworn our vet told us the diet above was good. But from what I’m reading, it seems like I should be giving the veggies every single day, and 1-2 cups. I’m going to buy a bunch tomorrow and see what they like. Hopefully my other rabbits are okay and don’t get GI stasis :(. I...

My bunny ended up having to stay an extra night, but he's good now :). He seems completely back to normal, too. They said if his appetite seems less than it was to give him critical care, but I don't think we need to because he is eating, drinking, hopping around, cuddling, and playing just like...

My poor little bunny baby :(. We ended up taking him to an animal hospital an hour away that took rabbits. He got admitted for GI stasis. He looked so sleepy and drained and wasn't even wiggling his nose. They said they expect he will have to be there for 12-24 hours. I hate leaving him because...

Thanks! Here is the pic. Not much change in his status yet. Going to try to play (or at least interact) with him in a bit during the time he is usually more active. He actually reached for the hay and put it in his mouth for a bit, not sure if he swallowed though. But he had been completely...

I think I spoke too quickly — he was doing better for a bit, but seems like his stomach still hurts today. He has pooped more, but not much more and nowhere near as much as usual. Pic below. No one knows anything about rabbits around here :(. My husband called the only 3 vets that said they...

Update again -- I think he is better now :)! It must have been the second dose of simethicone or something. He's now much more lively, hopping around, coming over for pets, etc. He's now hopping around the room and finding all of the kale leaves we scattered everywhere for him and he is eating...

Update...I could not get him to eat a frozen blueberry, but for some odd reason, he ate up the herbs I gave him. Is it okay to give him more? I normally only give him maybe 1-2 pinches of herbs as a treat during the day. I did try to get him to eat some hay by putting a handful beside him and...
