Just to give you all an update, the bunny is still doing well! He's been off formula since last Friday and seeing as he keeps escaping from the cage, I have been giving him free roam of the room. I didn't release him on Sunday as planned. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay after the...

Great advice, thanks TF! Bunny (who I have now lovingly nicknamed "Sir Anthony Hopkins" :biggrin:), is doing very well. I gave him his last serving of KMR last night, laced with Bene-bac. I'm doing ok. I'm a bit apprehensive about letting him go, but my hamster who I mentioned earlier is...

Hi TF, He normally does look like the cottontails in those pictures. I had been sitting there for a while before I snapped the photo. I don't want to spook him, so I wait until he knows I am there and not going to hurt him to take a picture whenever I have taken his picture. He has a box...

Thanks for the advice and kind words all! Bo Bunny, I would say that what I'm experiencing with Wild Bunny is kind of the same thing - not so much nipping, as a jumping up to my arm and "hiking up". I think when I get nervous and move my arm away too quickly is when he gets scared and nips...

Hi all, The bunny is doing really well! I've introduced greens to him and he's pooping like a fiend. He is really mobile and active also. I bought him some Bene-bac today to add to the formula, but when I opened the package I noticed the tubes were all sticky and smelly. Turned out they expired...

Thanks for the great advice Tony! I decided to hold off on the yogurt, and now I'm glad I did. I will have to look for some Bene-Bac or Probios tomorrow. The stools have certainly been more frequent since I've been giving him lawn food. They kind of look like my hamster's droppings, only a...

Hi all, No luck with rehab yet, but on a side note the bunny has made a FULL recovery. He escaped from his wee box last night, and ended up under the dryer...I took that as an indication that he's fine. I also took it as an indication that until he's done his weaning, and he's ready for his...

Poor little guy! I just joined the other day, basically because I am in the same situation - trying to nurse a cottontail back to health. Let me know how it works out! I will keep an eye on this thread!

Hi Tony, Thanks for your help! I actually came across that site Friday, but the link for outside of the U.S. is broken :?. If anyone has links for Canada, it would be awesome!

Hi Herby, Thanks! I was reluctant to take pictures of him (her?), because 1) I didn't want to startle him, and 2) If he doesn't make it, I don't want my heart to break every time I see the pictures. I eventually decided that no matter what happens, I might as well have something to remember...

Hi Kirby, The only rehab center near me is an hour away - when I called, I was told I was out of their jurisdiction. The gave me a number for a different wildlife rescue, but it was the number for some industrial animal removal place. It was all very odd. The local ospca and animal shelter...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice, but I'm totally new to rabbits so please don't judge me... Here's my story: My boyfriend was weed whacking the lawn the other night, and he came across a nest of bunnies. I wasn't home at the time, but when I did get home, he explained the situation to me...

Hi all, This is my first post, and I am totally new to this. I have always loved rabbits, but I've never owned one. I joined so I could get a little bit of advice on a cottontail that I am working on rescuing. There are no wildlife rehabers willing to help me around here, so right now I'm...
