She made it to the vet! She was given Revolution and is supposed to get a second dose in 2 weeks. Apparently, she didn't even try to attack the vet. The vet also lectured my mom about the importance of getting her spayed, which is what I've been saying since she got Scarlet years ago.

Such pretty bunnies! Apparently, Scarlet held a grudge for 7 months when someone made her very angry. My mom sent me a couple pictures of Scarlet's back. They're not great because my mom sucks at taking clear pictures and Scarlet doesn't stay still. She said the hairloss and scabs happened...

Revolution from the vet is the goal. I found a rabbit friendly vet in case their regular vet doesn't do rabbits. The main concern (beside actually getting to the vet) is Scarlet attacking everyone or having a heart attack. She's going to ask the vet about a sedative when she makes an appointment...

Her rabbit has never been to the vet so she doesn't yet have a rabbit-friendly vet she can ask. I live quite a distance away and I can't ask my vet because they won't answer any questions without examining the animal first. I've read some conflicting information on using ivermectin and whether...

The last time I posted here was for tips on getting my mom to switch her bunny off parrot food. That endeavor was successful, but now her bunny might have mites. Apparently, Scarlet is itchy and is losing fur on her back. She lives outside so there's ample opportunity for her to get mites. My...

That wasn't the first time I've heard people talk about cat food for bunnies, so I was confused. Everything I've ever learned about anatomy and physiology says rabbits and cats should most certainly not be eating the same food. People do tend to take breeding to the extreme though, so I wasn't...

Sorry guys, the notifications were all in my junk folder! The hay bale I chose for the bunny has alfalfa (I know it's not ideal for adults, but my mom really likes giving her alfalfa. This way the alfalfa is at least mixed with other things), timothy, orchard, and "Idaho native grasses."...

She does give the bunny rose petals from her rose bush. The flower shop by her house isn't nice enough to give scraps. If they're just going to throw it away anyway, I don't understand why they won't just let a bunny eat it instead. My mom grows a handful of herbs that the bunny gets to enjoy...

There's no Aldo's here. There's actually no stores here where I've ever found plain freeze dried fruit. Any fruit I get her will have to be online.

I'm spending so much time looking at rabbit stuff! By the time I can afford to add another pet to my bunch of critters I'll know plenty about bunnies. I'm broke, my mom is broke, so I bargain shop. I found some super cheap wood chews from China and the reviews are good, but is it too risky? I...

I can't afford to pay for a vet visit unfortunately. If I could the bunny would definitely get a check up and get spayed so there would be no baby bunnies if she escaped. I tried explaining to her again the importance of proper food, and once again she promised to feed better and only feed...

No, she won't. She's so annoyed with me that I think she might actually look into rabbit nutrition herself to see if I'm telling the truth. That's a long shot though. She's more likely to just switch back to feeding junk because the rabbit is still alive and they market similar foods for...

My mom is almost 50. I consider her plenty young enough to make some changes to her feeding! She's getting super impatient with me finding treats. She's only been feeding healthy food for a few days and apparently its killing her not to feed rainbow chunks of sugary things. By the end of the...

What about dried herbs and flowers? She'll feel better because it's colorful and looks exciting. The bags are pretty expensive so she'll be less likely to use it up fast. Maybe apple sticks too?

I've explained everything wrong with her feeding methods dozens of times. She makes everything she feeds fat. Last night she was insisting she needs to find something else for the bunny because she's worried she isn't getting everything she needs. No matter how many times I told her hay, good...
