6.5 years ago (will be 7 in August) I found this forum and begged you all for help. I work as a RVT and a client had a basket of 1 day old buns that were orphaned. With help from you all here, I attempted to hand raise them, and one of them made it! Also special shout out to JBuns for pretty...

Both my bunnies died under anesthetic today. All the blood sweat and tears hand raising them and then go out like that.

Thank you especially to JBun, these guys would not have survived without your help and support. If you remember the one bunny was small and skeletal but with a big fat tummy and tiny poos and I used baycox and then panacur. She was half the size (smaller than that even, maybe 1/4 size) of her...

Same litter, the small ones eyes actually opened 3 days before the other one. At one point they were the same size. Now Curly is a big chonk!

I was given three orphan rabbits, only one had its eyes open but the other two opened within the first three days of having them, so if that made them about 10 days, they would be 6.5 weeks old now. One died last week, now I have two. One is big and strong and quite frankly turning into a big...

Hi Guys, you've helped me before when I was raising a litter of baby bunnies that were only one day old, but that was about 4.5 years ago, so I'm a little out of practice. I work at a vet clinic so now I have an other litter of orphaned bunnies but these ones are older. Their eyes are just...

Bucktooth has problems with gut stasis. It's happened 2 x and we've given her pain meds, syringe fed critical care and done chiropractic as well. Both times were fairly mild and she recovered in 1-2 days. This is over the course of her 3 years of life. I can't remember how long ago maybe last...

One of my buns has a yucky incision it opened a bit and is swollen around it. I am freaking out a bit :( I contacted the dr and she said she will fix it tomorrow first thing. She is eating and drinking and pooping and peeing. I look at much worse injuries daily and am fine with it, but my own...

Bucktooth and Storm were both spayed on Friday. Bucktooth had a yucky uterus and her spay was stressful but they both recovered well. I still have them in their cages recovering, I can't wait to let them out again, I hate keeping them caged. I took pictures! Bucktooth is the chocolate mini rex...

My bunny Bucktooth has a bald spot above her eye. The skin is smooth and not red or scratched. Do you think the other rabbit is doing this from the other side of the cage? One is loose and one is free and then they switch. So they are each totally free for 12 hours a day.

Hi guys, the big day is coming up for my two ladies (next Friday!) My bunnies are not bonded but they live in the same room. One rabbit is in it's cage during the day, and the other rabbit is loose. The litter box and food for the loose rabbit is outside of the others cage. In the evening we...

Hi guys, I need your advice. I have two buns that I need to have spayed. Currently they are 14 weeks and 15 weeks old. When should I do this? My vet will do it any time, and has a lot of experience in spaying buns and we've even spayed rats. I'm going to be the anesthetist so I will be in charge...

Hi guys I have 2 buns and one is a brat. The brat rabbit is well loved so don't worry about me calling it a jerk face..it's not going anywhere. She's a 3 month old doe that was orphaned and thus hand raised from 2 days. She has started biting us the last month or so. It does not appear to be...

She's going to be 10 weeks old on Monday, and was hand raised from 2 days as an orphan. She eats oxbow alfalfa hay, oxbow orchard grass hay and oxbow Timothy. I also give her a little handful (approximately 1/8th of a cup) of oxbow young rabbit pellets twice a day. She has free range of a big...

This is a depressing topic, sorry. But I think you're possibly the only people that will understand how upsetting it is. (It's just a rabbit right?) <----ugh!!!! This morning he was just sitting hunched. He didn't move too much when I added food and maybe ate one pellet. I took him out and he...

Hey guys, sorry to bother you with this question, I did do a search and read what you've written to other posters but I would just like some reassurance here... My bunnies are 5 1/2 weeks old. I was feeding them milk replacer twice a day (kmr) as well as oxbow young rabbit pellets and oxbow...

Hi guys, I posted a minute ago and my phone freaked out and froze so my apologies if I posted twice. I have 2 bunnies that I got at 2 days old because they were orphaned. They are 3 weeks old now and I have been using blankets as bedding. What should I put in their litter box? Shavings? Is...

Hi guys, I will try to make a long story short, I'm a registered vet tech and work in a clinic/hospital. A client brought in a basket of rabbits, I think they were her granddaughters. A dog had killed their mother. They are domestics not wild rabbits. They were just getting peach fuzz fur and...
