Hi everyone, Experienced rabbit owner here. My bunny has gone through quite the stressful time this past month with a few traumatic vet visits. That issue is for a whole other post and I'm too overwhelmed with all the information right now to get into that. He's about 2.5 kg and up until this...

I posted this thread several months ago: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?t=87152 and you guys helped me so much, and I'm hoping for some more advice. My bunny no longer gets any veggies or fruits (as they were the suspected cause of his gas attacks). His diet is unlimited 50/50...

Hi everyone I just saw a new vet for my rabbit who has the odd bad gas episode, who is otherwise very healthy and has a diet the vet says doesn't need changing. The vet recommended a daily dose of rantadine (antacid) as a preventative measure. I've heard of this used as a therapy for gut...

Hey guys, For those of you out there with a solitary rabbit, what are your veggie staples? Some of you with two or more rabbits who can tolerate more veg can keep a much larger variety of veg around, but my vet wants me only giving him between 1/2 cup to 1 cup of veg per day, which means I have...

Hi guys, I live in the GTA region in Canada (Burlington) and I'm looking for other people who live in the same area to see if you can help me solve this puzzle. TL;DR: Do you know of any feed stores/farms in this area that sell fresh rabbit-quality hay (my guy only eats Orchard grass, but I...

So my second bunny is a bad hay eater, but he loves his timothy pellets (oxbow) and greens. The vet for my first bunny (now passed) as well as the vet at the shelter where I adopted this bunny, recommended mostly hay, limited timothy pellets, and lots of greens, which is what I've always done...

So I have a pretty strange predicament. It's not a pressing issue- more that I'm just getting tired of it and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives. My bunny (is about 4-5 years old, I adopted him a year ago) never took to hay feeders- he prefers piles of hay on the floor instead...

Hi everyone, My first beloved rabbit, Jerry, who really helped me while I was grieving and coping with PTSD, was sick with GI stasis about twice a year. I was warned that he was sickly when I adopted him, and he ended up succumbing to it after four years. It was devastating for me and it's left...

I posted last weekend about my rabbit (Jerry) ingesting a very small amount of gum, and I've been watching him closely for any problematic signs on the advice of my vet, though he said it was very unlikely to cause any harm. Yesterday Jerry was very lethargic, his appetite was minimal and his...

My sister spit out her piece of mint gum into a kleenex, left it on the couch, and my rabbit got to it and ate half the piece of gum before I caught him and yanked the rest away. I checked his mouth, but he ate it for sure. Do you guys think I need to worry? Should I call the vet?

I live in a colder region and we've already seen a few days of snow here over the last couple of weeks. The ground unfreezes for a small part of the day and I was thinking about taking my bunny out for some fresh air. I'm wondering what your guys' experiences are with bunny tolerance to cold...

The grass in my yard has a patchy outbreak of of rust. I know that it's very common, but it's still a fungus, and I'm worried about my rabbit consuming it. He gravitates toward the greener patches, but I've still caught him eating rust-covered grass a few times during the last week. So far I...

As mentioned in my previous thread, my little guy was diagnosed with GI stasis and I'm giving him the treatment he needs (meds to get the gut moving as well as oxbow critical care). Before I took him to the animal clinic last night, he was getting all squirmy in his cage, like he couldn't find a...

My poor little guy is suffering from GI stasis (luckily I caught it early on!) and the vet gave me several different meds as well as Oxbow Critical Care to syringe feed him. I need to give him two of the medications every 8 hours and one every 12 (all with a tiny millilitre syringe), while the...

I have a very healthy 15-month-old rabbit, who is between 3 and a half and 4 pounds. I'm wondering if it's okay if he goes a day or two with a very limited amount of veggies. He always gets a little piece of carrot every day for extra vitamin A, but I'm coming up on a few months where my...

Hi everyone, My bun loves to go outside and nibble on grass and dandelions. I make sure to monitor his droppings and see if there are any changes. Recently, however, a bunch of wild flowers have cropped up in my yard, and he loves these as well, but I'm not sure if they're safe to eat. I...

Hi all, I have a 2.5 pound buck of mixed breed that I adopted in October. He's almost one year old, and he was neutered two months ago. We've bonded very well together , and he is much more affectionate than I thought a rabbit could be! When I have him on my bed, he snuggles right up to me and...

Hi everyone, I have a 2.5 pound buck of mixed breed that I adopted in October. He's almost one year old, and he was neutered two months ago. I read another digging/litterbox post by Laylalop in the same board, but it really didn't apply to my strange situation. Before I had him fixed, he was...
