My apologies but many people use Comfrey to prevent GI stasis in rabbits. A friend uses it and her rabbit no longer suffers bouts of GI stasis. This is why I mentioned the Comfrey be use many people feel it is very good at treating ingested fur-related GI stasis, especially when a rabbit sheds...

Thanks. That makes good sense. I am very cautious with what I feed the rabbits and there is a delicate balance with “medicinal” plants like comfrey.

You seem very experienced. Do you have any thoughts about young Comfrey leaves? I have heard they can cause toxicity in humans and that made me nervous about giving any to my rabbits. I grow Comfrey (non invasive, root variety) in the garden and I will give them a tiny leaf each in the Spring...

They have one large hay bin. They seem fine with sharing the hay in one container.

I provide two separate bowls for everything. Two water bowls, two pellet bowls and two salad bowls. George can be pushier than Gracie and this way, they both can eat without competition. When I first adopted Hazel and Maude, I didn’t know they could be competitive. They came in one small hutch...

Please, at this pint, everyone has made the same suggestions and I have exhausted my options. Please, kindly, only respond if you can provide a loving home for Gracie and George. I have done everything that I can and my health is suffering. I will do my very best to continue to provide them...

I have four rabbits and we switched to Orchard Grass. Gracie and George are bonded and they need each other. The human being connection is not their primary bond although they are very sweet and they do interact with people. Their original family had 5 children and so, they are shy but they are...

Please keep in touch! I hope the move goes well. I will even include their enclose. You may visit anytime you are able! Thank you from George and Gracie!

Hi Danielle, I will continue to take excellent care of Gracie and George until they find a better home. It sounds like you know a lot about rabbits and are thinking very carefully about adoption. You are the type of person that I would surrender them to. You are welcome to visit them anytime...

Keep asking around about the hay. I read that Alfalfa hay is primary until 7 months i did a google search that suggested Alfalfa Hay until 7 months … so, keep asking around! I adopted my rabbits at about six months and they were on Timothy Hay but whatever you do, make all changes gradually...

Our veterinarian advised against pellets and strictly encouraged hay and a small amount of rabbit safe salad mix and rabbit safe veggies with the inclusion of bunny safe sticks daily. Introduce bunny safe veggies very cautiously. One of my rabbits has a sensitive stomach and I have to be...

Sorry, I finally had the chance to carefully read this. Also, just an idea … if you can find fresh willow sticks, offer this (after washing it and drying the sticks or you may even try in the oven at 160 degrees/low temp for an hour just to be cautious and kill bacteria) and see if she will...

Some people use something called “Critical Care” to treat rabbits with GI stasis who are not eating. I hope things are improving.

I switch to only Timothy grass when any concern arises with digestive changes. During the shedding season more frequent grooming may help. I hope she is back on track soon! Avoid any unnecessary stress for her. Some people swear by a tiny amount of fresh comfrey leaf, or fresh pineapple but I...
