    Veterinarian new to this forum

    Hey, welcome! :) Glad to see a rabbit-savvy vet, they're hard to find (or so I've found!)

    Willow and Aspirin

    So my parents came to visit me tonight and wanted to buy some things from Petsmart for the 'grandson.' When I chose a wicker ball they were both surprised that bunnies eat that (they don't really know much about rabbits.) They told me that willow (what most wicker is made from, as far as I...

    Lots of fur in poop

    I'm not too sure if this is fact, but when Buster was going through a really heavy molt and I broke open some poops (sounds so gross when you say it...) there were some hairs in there. For about 2 days I cut down a LITTLE bit on his veggies and pellets just so he'd eat more hay in the day to get...

    Faith not eating/pooping?

    Please tell me you don't just feed her strawberries and carrots, besides hay? I'd start doing the precautions people do for GI stasis. Not too sure what everything is but you can google it, and I'm sure people will tell you in a few minutes. Start ASAP though because that doesn't sound too...

    Styptic Powder

    YES I finally managed to calm him and get the little bit off while I was petting him. I am just very excited and nobody is around for me to share my excitement with. Buster got a treat and binkied with me because I was so happy hehe. :happyrabbit:

    Styptic Powder

    Hmm, very interesting. Thanks Idoerr :) I can't imagine cutting that many nails... that's crazy! I get all nervous and my heart races when I try to just cut the first one, haha. I tried to get the vet to show me how to do it, but they just went and did it themselves because Buster squirms and...

    Styptic Powder

    Awesome that's what I figured, thanks. :) Just tried once and got half way through the nail then he ran away... so now he has a nail half falling off that i can't get off. ARG! I'm too scared and soft... I'm afraid I'm going to hurt him so I go too slowly. Maybe I'll wait for my boyfriend...

    A bale of hay as a playhouse?

    Adorable. :) Buster makes little tunnels in his litter box through the hay... just with his head but I always laugh at them. Maybe they could form their own little tunnels through the bail :) ...Also sounds like something I'd have fun doing, to be honest. Bahaha.

    Styptic Powder

    Hey guys, I've heard lots about using Qwik Stop (sp?) for a backup in case you cut your rabbits quick. I just moved and the vets here want $24 plus tax for a nail cut which is way too much for me to do every 6 weeks... so, I've decided to take the plunge and start ATTEMPTING to do Buster's...

    Obsess Much?

    I think you should go for it too. Sometimes I think you 'just know' things, and this seems like a situation that something is telling you you need him/her. Therefore, you probably do "need" this cute bun for some reason or another and since you can't let it go, that's probably the case. :) If...

    bunny faceplant

    You should put some cardboard on it instead, hehe. :) I just did this with Buster because he kept biting on his door, so I used one of those flat pieces from the bottom of water bottle cases and it's almost destroyed in 2 days. So impressed by his chewing capabilities! That's so funny...

    Pictures! And some minor success with the new bun!

    All so cute!! Lionheads always amaze me for some reason... just the way they look... hah. Not like anything else!

    Allergic to Lionheads but not others

    I read somewhere online before I got my bun (I'm REALLY allergic to cats and dogs so I looked into it a lot) that sometimes people will be allergic to one type but not another. For example, rex are supposed to be the most anti-allergy (but not hypoallergenic), and some people who aren't allergic...

    What I did this summer... photographically

    Amazing!! Very jealous of your trip.. looks like you had a great time.

    What are good rabbit toys??

    Buster doesn't really like ANYTHING I give him... he picks it up and throws it, then will never touch it again.. The things I"ve had the most luck with is a stuffed bunny and phone book (lasted a good 2 days before he got bored.) He teared it up like mad and enjoyed watching me clean it up...

    shedding more than usual

    Just a quick question while we're on the topic - I've read online that bunnies either molt every 3 months, or twice a year... which is it? :S I started using a lint roller on Buster every once in a while because I find my brushes never get anything. I get the :expressionless look but he is...

    Mixed treat bag okay?

    Hi guys, I was just at a small locally run pet store. I just wanted to check out what they had because it's the closest one to my new house. The girl was following me around hawking me because (I think) she thought I was going to steal something (sketchy uni student what else is new...) So I...

    fishy smell ?

    Today I noticed a weird smell coming from Buster's cage... It smelt somewhat fishy, but more what people describe as just a "rabbit" smell. (Before I got Buster I was told not to get a rabbit because they "SMELL SOOOO BAD"... despite me never smelling anything from him.) Just this one time...

    Overnight trip - 24 hours alone ok?

    I left Buster alone from 3pm-2pm the next day. I made my boyfriend come bunny-sit and he couldn't come until then... I gave him a nice BIG bowl of veggies and his extra scoop (and a litte extra) of pellets for the next day. He seemed to be fine, despite me worrying for my WHOLE time away...

    Ticks me off how dumb people can be!!!!

    Well, at least they're getting rid of them to a (hopefully) better, more informed home... oh my.
