My 10-1/2 year-old bunny Fred started having oval-shaped poops, diarrhea, and mucus in his poops about 3 months ago. I tried a couple of weeks of Bene-bac and it seemed to help somewhat, but not completely. I took him to the vet and she gave him ivermectin and metronidazole and told me to stop...

My 2 rabbits are 9 years old and have always lived outdoors in hutches on our deck in upstate NY. We take really good care of them and they have survived all these years in a 4 season climate without any problems. I am looking for a pet sitter for them, but I'm afraid people will judge us and...

Pepper went over the rainbow bridge today. We will miss her so much.:rip:

My bunny Pepper started acting sick today. She wasn't coming out of her hut and her eyes were squinty. I had my husband take her to the vet and they took an x-ray. The vet said there is a large mass around her stomach, but she didn't know what it is. Pepper's temperature was dropping so...

I think my bunny Fred is chewing some of his nails. When I go to trim them, some are sharp and pointy with lots of scratches on them. If I try to trim off the sharp point, he pulls his foot away. I think it's because he has chewed them down really close to the quick. There was one I noticed...

I just noticed that my bunny Pepper made a nest in her bedroom. She has never done that before and I'm wondering what is going on. It's a big pile of fur that she obviously pulled. I got her from the SPCA about 1-1/2 years ago and was told she was spayed. Also, there is absolutely no chance she...

I saw a book about rabbits in the grocery store (a lot of bunny stuff out this time of year) and I just had to look at it. It was so inaccurate it was laughable. The story was about baby bunnies living in a warren underground with their mother. The rabbits illustrated were obviously domesticated...

I have three outdoor rabbits and I think they have very secure hutches but lately squirrels have been trying to get into them. I have screens over the doors that they have been ripping holes in. The doors themselves have sturdy cage wire so even if the squirrels poke a hole in the screen, they...

I had my bunny Fred out in the double xpen in the grass near my deck. I was sitting up on the deck watching him and spotted a cottontail in my neighbor's yard. I should have gotten the camera then because within a few minutes the cottontail had hopped into our yard and was checking out Fred...

I need to replace Fred's litter box because he keeps chewing it and I am worried about him ingesting the plastic. Right now he has a large corner litter box and it's a good size for him. Any suggestions before I go out shopping?

I know each rabbit is different as to how much hay they eat, but I just bought my first bale of hay from a farm and am wondering how long it will last. Just looking for some kind of estimate. :eats:

:woohoo:jumpforjoy::dancingorig::party::party0002::wiggle:yahoo::clapping: I finally was able to trim all three of my rabbits' nails by myself! It feels like such an accomplishment! We got our first two rabbits last July and then our third in October, but it has been a struggle for me to learn...

I have three outdoor rabbits that are all 1 year old. I have been feeding them Sweet Meadow Farm pellets since last summer. I changed over to the adult pellets that are all Timothy around the beginning of the year, 1/2 C for Pepper, 1/3 C for Fred and Smokey. Sometime last month Fred started...

Smokey saw the vet 10 days ago and was diagnosed with an eye infection. She gave me ciprofloxacin drops. I had a hard time getting them in his eye and wasted a bunch of drops so I had to buy a second bottle. I used up the second bottle and by then he had a full course of the drops, but his...

My bunny Smokey has been sick since last weekend. I took him to the vet on Monday and she gave him drops for an eye infection and subcu fluids because he had stopped eating, peeing, and pooping last weekend. I have been feeding him Critical Care all week. I took him back to the vet on...

Our vet has Smokey on Critical Care. I started it today and have given him about 1 syringe full three times a couple of hours apart. He will only take the 1 syringe and then he totally refuses it. The vet just said to follow the directions on the package, but I'm wondering what you guys do as...

Oh my! I needs to do some typin' to destress from goin' to the bunny docter. I didn't feel like eating and I wasn't peein' or poopin' and my eye was drippy so mommy took me to see the bunny docter. They did a lot of stuff just to find out why I wasn't feelin' so good. I got x-rays and a shot...

I keep my rabbits outside and would really like to get a rex, but I don't think the short fur would keep it warm enough in our NY climate so I am thinking of maybe keeping one inside. I wondered if maybe they don't shed as much as rabbits with typical fur (not including angora).

Well I finally gave in and started using the horse stall bedding for litter for my rabbits and now my local Tractor Supply is out of stock, doesn't know when they'll get more, and said it's a global problem with TS. I called around to find the wood stove pellets and a place down the road from...

My Smokey seems to have a problem with his left eye. He isn't opening it all the way and there is a bump on his head above his eye. I don't see any discharge from the eye and he is eating and pooping normally. I'll be calling the vet, but I also wanted to get some ideas from you guys as to...
