Hi all — We just moved to a new city and relocated with our rabbits last night (something I've been dreading for this very reason). While one of them is a foster-to-adopt who's perpetually chill, our girl has a lot of anxiety and is easily stressed. She's 5yo and spayed (and a rex, which I've...

I just got back from traveling for nearly a week. Live with parents so there was no change in care/location/diet when I was away. When I got back bun was really aloof with me. I found her flopped in one of her favorite spots and went to pet her and I noticed she appeared extremely thin. She's...

My rabbit was totally normal all day. An hour or so ago, my bf noticed she was sitting in her house and breathing more quickly than usual (not labored, just fast breathing that made her little ears shake). Thought we were making stuff up but when I offered her some food, she refused. She even...

I just left the vet's office and they needed a fecal sample. She wouldn't go so we had to wait and they put her on the floor of the office to run around! I said that didn't seem smart since it's probably filthy but they said it was fine and they wanted to keep her mobile. I let it go at the time...

Was doing bunny's nails today and realized she had broken one off (one of her "thumb" nails). It must have happened a while ago. Right now it's very short and there's a bit of nail (maybe a couple millimeters) and then a dark part on top (slightly longer) that isn't nail—looks like maybe the...

Sorry for the long post... My (indoor) rabbit has a portion of the yard she likes to hang out in (accompanied) when we go outside. Today, I noticed her nudging a tiny mushroom on the ground. I jumped in and it looked like it had a few bites out of it. I noticed there were a few other little...

Hi - in need of quick advice. Just found bun buried in a package of black licorice strings (you know that long stringy candy?). No idea how much she ate (or where she got it). Obvi the sugar isn't good for her, but does anyone know of licorice is toxic? A few sites have licorice leaves listed as...

My 2yo girl was spayed in January 2013 and hasn't displayed any hormonal behavior since (circling, honking, clinginess, litter box problems, etc.). However, when I let her out two days ago she immediately started circling my legs and I swear I heard a bit of honking. Two days later, and she...

Recently bought a chew toy from Drs. Foster and Smith. Arrived and it was put together very sloppily with hot glue, which left glue strings all over. Also had a big tag reading "Completely safe to chew!" Doesn't sound very safe to me - I'm about to call them and make a fuss, but just wanted to...

Not sure if this should go here or in the Health forum... I have a rex who's a huge shedder and I'm looking to invest in a good brush. She tends to blow her coat or parts of it and I need something that can really clear her coat out each day. She has very dense, plush fur (with no...

Okay - I just had the freakiest experience so, if you'll pardon the story... I was just upstairs working when I walked by the window and heard the worst noise ever. There must have been a dog outside that was attacking some animal - I think a bird - and the poor thing was just screaming...

Is asparagus okay? Maybe I'm just missing something but I haven't been able to find it on any of the usual veggie lists.

I have a very picky rabbit when it comes to hays. I have a friend with a horse farm so I picked up some of the hay they cut and feed to their horses. I've heard this is fine, but just wanted to check to make sure it's okay before I give it to her. Thoughts? It's nice and fresh so I'm hoping...

For anyone who could ever doubt that rabbits could be litter trained, I just had to share this because it's cracking me up. We have a decent-sized yard that's pretty long if not that wide. The past few days because of the nice weather I've been taking bun outside to free roam (I stay with her)...

Ahh I feel so terrible! My bun is going through a MASSIVE molt that just hit full force today - as in I reach to pick her up and come away with handfuls of hair. I was brushing her today while holding her and suddenly she started grinding her teeth loudly, which I've never heard her do before -...

Hi all. Very delayed but need to switch my bun to an adult pellet - she's been on alfalfa so far but she hit a year recently. I think I'm going to go with Oxbow since we've had great luck with them so far but was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. I've narrowed it down to...

So I've thought I had this problem before but now I DEFINITELY have it - mushy poo. A few days ago I noticed a giant squishy dropping in the litter box. Later that day I found a cecal on the floor. I didn't think too much of it since we've had isolated incidents before and they always proved to...

Someone was in my room and left a broken piece of peppermint patty on my bed (I'll scold them later). Bunny hopped up and I caught her eating it like bunny crack - I didn't know it was there. She only got in maximum a bunny-sized nibble or two before I dragged her away (she wasn't happy). It...

Having a bit of a rabbit mystery and I'd welcome any guesses. Whenever we're outside in her pen, my rabbit will randomly hop over onto my lap and start digging at me CRAZILY. Like, with a purpose, not just for fun. After a few seconds she'll hop off and run away doing the most aggressive little...

Looking for a quick recommendation for a brush. I have a rex, I think purebred, but not exactly show quality. She doesn't have the undercoat though and she has VERY fine hair. I think she's molting, but it's very light compared to other rabbits I've seen - she's just a compulsive groomer and I'd...
