Hey guys! The issue on this thread has been resolved, though there seems to be a new issue concerning redness around his anus, so any tips on this new issue would be great!

Hey, guys! My Little guy's doing great as you can tell from this photo. He's a healthy weight, spry, and very curious about his environment; I did notice he has some redness around his anus however and I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about? Looks like it might be a little...

Hey guys, I've been giving my bun pedialyte and he's stopped wobbling, is hydrated, and pooping / peeing like crazy! So he seems to back on track. :)

Considering that I've raised many rodents on pedialyte, I feel stupid for not even considering this for my rabbit initially. Thanks for knocking some common sense in my head!

Ok, I'll add more water to his formula so that he can get better hydration / nutrition. I can never tell if he's peeing but he does poop frequently. Thanks for the tip! I'll give updates so people can see how he's doing.

I forgot to upload the photos for today. Here's what he looks like now compared to how he looked then. Someone on another thread of mine mentioned that he was older than a week so he's maybe round 1.4 weeks old? I know he's supposed to be a lot fatter and muscular than he is, so this is...

Hey guys, I came home and though he's alive, he was a lot more dehydrated that normal and he seemed a bit skinnier and wrinklier than normal. He wasn't eating as enthusiastically so I added a wee bit of sugar to his formula which seemed to have gotten him to eat a little more than normal...

The syringe you've linked seems about like the one I use. I'll start weighing him so I can get a more accurate take on his weight, thanks!

My bunny is still doing pretty decent, he's got good hydration (his skin goes almost immediately back down when tented) and he's still using the bathroom. I noticed however that when I take him out, he will do this thing where he wobbles back and forth in a somewhat vigorous manner when...

Thank you! I remember reading something about a heat light / pad in an article and was trying to remember where I got the info from, this was the article. :) Thanks so much! The temp is reading around that range, it fluctuates from around 75-83, because of that I've moved half of the box out...

I ended up getting some heavy whipped cream with a high fat content and mixed that in with his formula as some of you've suggested and he ended up lapping that up a bit more enthusiastically than normal! This is what he looked like after feeding. I fed him again after an hour or so just to get...

I have a syringe that looks a bit like (with a blunter end) this and I gently put a drop in his mouth then let him lick it down before putting the next drop in. The process is a bit of a hit or miss depending on his mood. Sometimes he licks most of the formula, other times it just dribbles...

Someone mentioned in another thread that this kit is around a a week old. In the past two days he's already gotten a lot furrier and the slits in his eyes are becoming more pronounced. I'll check him when I get home and will be sure to follow the advice someone mentioned where they told me...

Also, I'm trying to find a syringe that would make feeding easier as he never takes to the rubber nipple and the one syringe I do have is too thick for his mouth and he doesn't like it inserted. Do you have any tips?

If you're talking about him pooping and peeing, he's now doing that regularly on his own for the past 20+ hours.

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading something about adding the whipping cream! I'll see how he's doing first when I get home and then add that into his mix after he seems to not be in an emergency state.

A new day and a new problem! But hey, this is my first time ever caring for a baby rabbit. Seems as though my fellow's a little underweight, any advice on this would be awesome and should be directed to this new thread I've started.

Hey guys, I decided to create a new thread since this is an entirely different issue from my prior one. First I Must Note: 1. I do not have the option to take him to a rehab center due to location work schedule. 2. He was not taken from a nest, he was found in my front yard in the open sun...

I came home to lots of healthy, brown, and compact poop and pee! He looks a little dehydrated, but that's an easier fix than a constipated bunny!

I haven't been smelling the cloths or looking at them very closely honestly, as I thought the poop and pee would be quite obvious. I'll be sure to do that first when I get back home. :)
