Tell them that the chances of your bun being sick or injured and having a very expensive vet bill is very great for an outside bunny...indoor bunnies live longer and are more apt at being healthier with less expensive vet bills. Very good of you to want your pet inside with you, they have such...

Sounds like he had a lot of love to give you and he knew how much you loved him. Sorry to hear your lil man passed :( What a special bond you two had, I hope you can take comfort in all his wonderful memories and the last 4 years you spent with him...

This is a simple article with info on what items are high in calcium. Bladder sludge, kidney issues to name a couple are real problems related to a high calcium diet. For your peace of mind and for the health of your rabbit, please limit high calcium fruits n veggies! Plus why risk it when there...

I cradle my bun in my left arm, face up towards my armpit and hind end supported by my hands and fingers. I place a towel underneath his chin tucked in between my body (to give him something to do while bathing him) and his. I have a kitchen sink that has an adjustable nozzle and I use my right...

I would say... -Romaine Lettuce -Basil -Cilantro -Parsley -Dandelion Greens -Chard -Beet and Carrot Tops (limit carrots as they are high in sugar) -Herbs <----fresh not dried Please limit items like broccoli and brussel sprouts as these items cause gas and bunnies have no ability to release...

I know this isn't what your concern was, however you might want to place something more "grippy" in the indoor area, the floors are slippery and may cause issues, if not now, in the future for his mobility. Rabbits don't have pads on their paws to help grip surfaces they walk on, so their feet...

I had the same problem with two of my girl buns. Took me 3 years, but I eventually bonded them, I don't think people normally take that much time to try and bond their buns, but mine was out of necessity. What finally worked was building an entirely new habitat for all the buns to live that was...

Now that's what I'm talking about! This post actually made me feel bad I have indoor buns, and that has never happened before lol! Sounds like your buns have an amazing life, I just hope that there are others who are as attentive and caring and on top of schedules like you are. This was the most...

Yes, thank you...he is severely disabled and very ill indeed. Got him a bigger size diaper, and he is still just mobile enough to kick out of it. Anyone have any luck diapering succesfully?

I'm not sure if this can go on this thread, but I have tried to diaper Toby to min the stress impact of baths, but I can't seem to figure out how to keep it on him. I may be using one that is too small, or maybe he is still too active, I don't know. I am also causing his considerable stress just...

Omgoodness, so sorry for your loss. I actually drew in an audible breath when I read how he went...wow, so so very tragic. I agree with the others about placing him in a box and in the freezer, no bun deserves the bin. I had my Ernie Bun cremated...do you have options like that where you...

Toby, my disabled, incontinent bun needs butt baths to prevent scald and infections. I do not bathe him farther than his rear area tho. I use nothing but lukewarm water, no shampoo, bc I have read that even baby shampoo is too harsh for their skin, especially on red inflamed and irritated skin...

You brought up a lot of points that I never inquired about nor insinuated in my previous posts (such as being lazy or mating...my buns are all fixed), so it seems that this is highly touchy subject. I am asking questions and putting my two cents in bc I am trying to understand...If asked why I...

Yeah I know how dangerous it can be to bond a pair, I spent the better part of 3 years bonding two of my buns, it was really tough and I thought I would never get there, but fortunately one is so submissive that all she wanted was love and finally bonding prevailed. But the lesson I learned here...

Did Whinnie ever make it home?

I am sorry but for me, it's hard not to judge those who have bunnies kept outside, I'm trying my best to understand, but I really don't get it. Anyone care to enlighten me as to the reasons you would keep them outdoors in a cage? I would really like to be supportive of bunnies outdoors...and I...

Alright, so a week on pheno...seems to be lessening the severity of the seizures but still not entirely sure. He continues to have them when trying to urinate him and butt bathe him. We can't avoid that tho. But we have discovered a way to avoid being bitten or him biting himself when having...

I hope the cops can do something, what a tragic day indeed. If not, I wonder if you can pursue legal action of your own? Thinking of you and hoping for a miracle for Whinnie.

The vet called and now we are putting Toby on Phenobarbitol (sp?) and off the Panacur. Apparently they both can cause liver damage so only one will be necessary. He has been having "cluster" seizures, I can't think of any other way of putting it. He acts normal and then he either has a seizure...

I appreciate your support :) I've never seen anything like it, so I am afraid that this is going to end badly for him. My hubs just freaked out saying that these seizures are going to kill him, and of course I have nothing to say. I am the stay at home bun mom who can only sit and watch and...
