don't fret bunny stomps too much. Rabbits don't always stomp because they're upset and even when it is an upset stomp they get over it very quickly. My current rabbit stomps just before he takes off in a fast dash across the room, almost as if he's a car revving his engines before peeling out...

ah, you're in a tough spot. Drool might indicate something going on with the teeth. You've already had great advice here so I'll just add - I'm not a fan of Reddit but they do have several threads /r/Assistance and /r/charity that help people out. There's also a pet food one so perhaps...

like a fabric softener? I've never heard of anyone's bunnies have problems with that kind of thing. If its just smell you're concerned about, bunnies are pretty decisive when they don't like something. Your bun wouldn't play on the bed if the smell was bothering him. As far as health issues...

My last rabbit had fur that came out like dandelion fuzz so she was very pluckable which made for easier and yet much more hairy shedding season. For a bunny that just sheds in full on 'cloud of fur' though - I've seen some gloves online that you wear and stroke the rabbit. Maybe those would...

Thank you so much for this JBun! I thought I already answered but apparently it didn't post so I'm sorry for thanking you late. Sam and I have an appointment on Monday with a different vet. We're off the EC meds and not on any pain meds either at the moment. He's eating on his own with a...

hi all! Going to try to keep this story short. A few months ago I got a little lionhead from the local shelter. He's probably less than a year old at this point, unfixed and an absolute sweetheart of a little dude. About a month after getting him, I ended up having to take a surprise trip...

I used to get a live Christmas tree for Fizz every year. We'd get a fraizer furrr with the round needles and make sure it hadn't been treated with fire-retardant or anything. I'd wash it off really well outside and let it dry before I brought it inside. I'd also only decorate it well above...

Fizz was a super floppy bun! Not much for binkies but she would flop at the drop of a hat. This is her in her sandbox, a favorite flopping spot.

okay, figured I'd give an update in case anyone searches 'lactulose' at some point. I called three vets, one didn't call me back, I had one of the girls that answered the phone walk me through how to wean Fizz slowly off it (cut the dosage a bit and keep on cutting it as time goes until its...

at the beginning of the month, Fizz and I moved to a different state and during the move (a 12 hour drive that turned into a 24 hour one) she stopped pooping and eating. We ended up at an emergency vet halfway between here and there and Fizz got some fluids and some meds and made a quick...

okay, updating in case anyone else has this happen to their bun as well. The vet said that Fizz took her shot about noon without any problem and she was fine when we got home, nibbling on greens a bit. About two or three hours in though she started to get very lethargic and she stopped eating...

oh gosh! They're both super adorable! Thanks for the pics. What good looking little buns.

nothing to add but - pics? Please. They sound adorable

looks like there have been some cases in Florida. I just got Fizz vaccinated today. $50 and apparently she has to be 'identified' so they took a 5$ picture of her as well. They say she took the shot well and she was pretty okay for the first few hours after, nibbled on her favorite greens and...

so we've got a Fizz update! on Monday I got a call back from the vet that said the radiologist had responded. They thought they saw an abscess and so I was recommended to the rabbit dental expert. Called and set up the appointment and we went in on Thursday. The vet looked Fizz over and the...

ah, thank you JBun. Short of the recent eating issue Fizz has always been a very lively and interactive rabbit. I don't want her lifestyle to be decreased in any way that would take that from her. But I don't want to give her up yet either. So far the specialist hasn't gotten back to my vet...

thank you for being straight up with me. It's what I'm so very afraid of. I would do almost anything to keep Fizz with me. She's my little heart holder and has been for almost seven years now. But I would never put her through the trauma of surgery and recovery and then have her living a...

I don't mind chopping food up into smaller bits at all. I think Fizz would adjust pretty well to that since her favorite treats are tiny sized squares of papaya already. If I had to syringe her every day multiple times a day for the rest of her life I don't think she'd do well with that at all...

Thank you Niomi. It's really rough to have our babies going through this kind of thing and I'm sorry you are too. I'm glad that you've got a solution that gives you more time with your Netherland. In Fizz's case they're talking about taking out ALL of her back teeth. They say the roots on...

yep! we've got her on meloxicam and Fizz is currently stress eating (just like her mother) so I'm not worried about food intake currently lol. I've ordered the apple banana which should be in tomorrow but she's been getting the 'small animal papaya' because it was the only thing I could get my...
