Id be more worried about some type of spinal/neuro issue causing this. In a healthy adult rabbit, legs dont just suddenly splay from a lack of traction. Most rabbits would avoid the surface all together if its too slippy. But would be able to walk on it with no issues. I would consider a visit...

5 months is "mature" in the rabbit world. If the relationship was already on the rocks bringing the new rabbit home likely did things in. Doesn't matter if they cant see each other. You will most likely have to cage the pair totally away from each other and give them some divorce space for...

Im not sure if youve mentioned it previously but are these 2 both spayed and neutered? And you also just brought home another mature rabbit?

What about sewing a patch to the bottoms of the non slip fabric they use for the feet of onesies and such? You could make it an add on charge as requested. https://lensmill.com/products/mook-jiffy-grip

I wouldnt ever put something like that in their water. If they dont like the taste you can cause all sorts of issues because they will now be drinking less water. With rabbits we want to encourage water drinking.

Thats how i feel when i try and take photos of my shrimp! Nevermind when theyhave babies.

Pictures!

Does he drool ever when hes not eating? Has he ever seen a vet? He may need to have his Teeth checked.

Laying down on his stomach and pressing his stomach to the ground are 2 very different things. Im really not sure what youre asking about needing to heal? It sounds like from your posts you either need to contain him better or do a lot more rabbit proofing.

Any and all hay has the chance to find a spider. Dead animals. Mites. Etc. The stuff in bags isnt from a sterile factory. It comes from fields too. You could freeze it to try and kill anything else off but its just nature. Keep feeding it youre fine.

First you need to stop him from touching the surgical site. 2nd. Be patient. Hes eating and moving so thats good. Lay off the sugary stuff and push hay and water. Keep an eye on him and just see what happens for now.

A bit of bloody or clear discharge can be normal. Even more common if they are active after surgery. Reactions can be instant. Its something the body doesnt like coming into contact with tissue. It can absolutely cause the suture to rip out internally and again even more likely if she was...

I would look into having an ultrasound done to confirm. Because unless you personally spoke directly to the vet, i would not believe the uterus was left in. What usually happens is people speak to a staff member at a clinic who words something incorrectly. Look how many clinics tell people to...

That just seems so bizarre that any vet would do that surgery, and on rabbits of all animals. There is zero pro to keeping the uterus. "Sparing" surgery typically keeps the ovaries for the sake of the hormones and removes the tubes or way for eggs to get to uterus. How did you confirm that...

Welcome

Stop letting him on the bed. Rabbit proof your room. Rabbits tend to like peeing/pooping on soft surfaces. If hes not neutered that might help.... but if its happened a few times its probably habbit now.

It will likely become harder and harder to switch to a regular hay. Young rabbits do not NEED alfalfa hay if they have a proper young rabbit pellet. So what your vet said is fine. Theres no need to keep buying it. Rabbits being "adult" depends on their breed/size. Around 6 months is usually...

Rabbits arent like dogs where you can often easily distinguish different breeds in a mix. Your rabbit is a mix. Possibly with lionhead or some other long furred breed. And no not rex.

Please dont bath your rabbit. That was totally unnecessary. A healthy rabbit can groom themselves and groom off any mess theyve made. Just throw the bottle out please.

A mix.... Rabbits arent like dogs where the parents of mix breeds may be easy to guess. Unless the rabbit is showing obvious signs that it is part Rex or Lionhead or angora or lop.... (none of which your rabbit is) then you cant really guess. Be happy he is healthy.
