Thank you all for the kind words. It's comforting to know that I am not so alone in my grief over a "pocket pet". I still find myself opening the office door to talk to and visit with Sage, finding only the empty pen. I just don't have the heart to disassemble it yet. Going through old...

... that I woke up to a world without Sage. My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today. 🐰🌈 Sage passed away in my arms at the vet yesterday. She became partially paralyzed a couple weeks ago due to arthritis in her spine. She'd lost significant muscle mass in the...

What a sweet bunny, I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you gave her such a beautiful life and she was lucky to have you ❤️

Sounds like he is in a decent situation! So many bunnies across the world live in tiny cages without a speck of daylight, toys, or love- he seems to have it much better! You can only control so much when living under your parents roof, good for you for looking out for the little guy and having...

If he's getting good food, clean water, mental stimulation (in the form of toys and hanging out with you), regular exercise outside of a cage, nail trims/grooming, and goes to the vet if he gets sick- then no, your rabbit is not neglected. There are lots of enrichment toys and food puzzles out...

I have a creaky older bunny too :) You definitely seem on the right track, what a lucky girl to have such a great human looking after her! Movement is key for my girl, if she's in her pen without free roam time for too long, I've noticed she moves more stiffly. I think limiting the litterbox...

Welcome :)🐰

Cute bunny family! Welcome 🐰 It may just be the photo and/or you may know this already, but the inside of Honey's ear looks scabby and inflamed- she may have ear mites.

You gave her an incredible life filled with love and great memories ❤️ My heart goes out to you, I hope you find comfort and grace during this difficult time.

Poor baby 😢 I hope the next vet is more helpful. I've used terramycin successfully in the past, although my vet said it can irritate the eyes more in some cases. That sounds like a good combo of pain medication, hopefully she is comfortable. Sounds like she is doing okay if she's eating...

Bowls. The rabbits will drink twice as much and be healthier for it! Way cleaner and easier too as long as you use a heavy bowl that they can't tip. Bottles can leak and fail, but are great for long car rides. I think for the sake of having life skills, most rabbits should at least be taught...

Based on the pictures, the mouth scabs may be rabbit syphilis. It can be treated by antibiotics and is not zoonotic (you won't get it) but have her looked at sooner than later. The ears may be related, or it might be ear mites (also treatable and common). The odd pose is something I've...

Adorable! Welcome! 🐰

I had the pleasure of growing up in a small, old apple orchard. I don't remember having any issues of "apple branch OD" with our bunnies who received copious amounts of apple wood. My 3 get apple branches regularly still, and they don't seem to over eat the bark. Too many leaves may be a...

My buck had a bump at the site of his RHDV2 vaccine that lasted about a month and a half. Thankfully, it caused no issues or obvious discomfort and slowly went away on its own. Keep feeling it for heat or pain (in case it's an abscess) and that it doesn't get bigger. You can always request that...

Welcome! Cute babies!!

My Velveteen Lop is like this, I think her hearing may be compromised. However, bunnies are just like people and can "tune out" stuff that they aren't actively paying attention to, and when it is suddenly "there" they can get scared (think the infamous cat/cucumber videos 😅). I just try to be...

Maybe waxy buildup from scent glands?

JBun and Nancy are spot on! 👌 I give my old crunchy bun Sherwood Prevention Tablets and it's improved her quality of life. I also make sure to deworm my rabbits occasionally, as they eat a lot of fresh foods from our property. Even though I wash it all, it's still potentially exposed to...

Separate them sooner than later- they can start reproducing as early as 12 weeks. If you rehome one, rabbits can live alone quite contentedly if they get attention, space to roam, and mental stimulation. Please think very seriously about your ability to keep either of these rabbits- while...
