Sigh... After a long struggle, ups and downs that went on for half a year, Chantal finally died, at just 6 years of age. A week before christmas she had her last stasis episode, but perked up considerable and looked as ok as could be expected. This spring/summer I brought her to the vet because...

Well, now I've got one more buck than I planned for... A meat breeder down the road, old guy, didn't latch his hutches properly weeks ago, whole litter escaped (idiot didn't tell me), one day on my way to the train station I noticed a small rabbit in the bushes. Took me 3 days to build enough...

On Monday, May 5th, my little black Fury passed away. She was the very first rabbit I got, 11 years ago. After my mental issues got worse back then I needed something in my life, to have a reason to get up every day, something to care for. So I decided to start breeding rabbits, as my...

Hi, my little black Fury gets old, she has athritis to the point that it's a struggle to get up, and I can see that she was in pain without medication. She's 11yo now, and starts to get frail. Vet told me 0,3mg per day for her 3kg would be right, but Medirabbit says 0,3-0,6mg/kg. Also i got...

Just spent 2 hours looking for Ruth:rolleyes:, a brown-white checkered doe, I began to fear the worst, a fox attack, despite there were no signs like the other rabbits being nervous or fluffs of fur. Found her. Happily digging a tunnel on the other side of the brook, which they normally do not...

When it started, it was just a limp, more than a year ago, x-ray said athrosis in the hip, quite likely to injury (idiot thought he's a cat, climbing everywhere), but by now he can't get up by himself, his body is twisted more than 90°, either his front or his rear is horizonal. He's about...

Hi, I'm living in a small side valley now where lots of predators are, but no wild rabbits- which is great, I can deal with predators, but at my last home Myxo, transmitted by the local rabbit population there, killed 14 of my 15 rabbits. Today, down by the creek (where the rabbits are) a...

Hi, Summer was quite humid this year, and my shed isn't optimal for storing hay, so I lost quite a pile to mold. I can store bales much better, so I needed a press to make bales. The box is about 0.5x0.5m, about 1.2m high, tapering to the bottom a little so that I can get the bales out more...

She was my former neighbours dog, I moved there 10 years ago, and left 5 years ago. She waited for me to come home in the evening for years after, and I had her for weeks here when her mom had to be revived and was in coma for weeks, and when she was at rehab. But, that doesn't cover it. She...

Hi, my 4yo house bunny Herr Hase has athrosis in the hip, vet gave me Meloxicam for 2 weeks. Then switched to Traumeel, said to try this to avoid long term side effects (not specified). Giving it for 2 weeks now, but that stuff does nothing at all, as far as I can tell. It got worse the last...

I did know that she should be due soon, but thought I would see telltale signs in time. Today afternoon Chantal opend up a tunnel, which she must have built and sealed up right away weeks ago, and had her litter there - Yeah, babys :) . At the end of a 2meter - 6-7ft tunnel, half a meter...

Hi, Ok, that's maybe more of a dog topic... Again, I have the dog of a friend here while they are skiing, a 5yo 75lbs Collie, very shy and not an outgoing personalty. A rescue adopted about 5 months ago. It's the 3rd time she's here and only now starts to noticeable open up. Had her for...

Hi, Well, something is off. When he hops, it does make a sound, his rear feet impacting heavily, not hopping on toes, but whole feet. When he turns when sitting, he does it on his rear hocks, not like every other bunny on the toes. There's also the way he sleeps, his hind legs stretched...

Oh well. That was just so adorable, gave the rabbits in the hutches their dinner when a dormouse climbed down from the roof, closer than 1 meter to me, tried several times to get on the food bucket, needed several attempts to get hold of an apple, finaly got it and climbed back up to the roof...

Well. I have relatives in the US and I know how difficult it can be to get (even with a top notch) insurance to cover costs for an absolutly necessary surgery on a 13 yo, they dragged it out for more than a year. That's so, wierd. I can't quite grasp it, here, when I have a problem, I get what...

Today I woke up to Herr Hase zooming through the house like there were tigers at his tail, obviously he decided to check out what's on the kitchen table, and got entangled with the fly trap I hung at the lamp there. What a mess. After removing the trap I still had a sticky rabbit full with dead...

Well, I didn't expect that, always associated sore hocks with Rex and wire cages. But a week ago there were bloody footprints throughout the house... Vet gave me an ointment, and suggested to cover the floor of his cage with newspaper. He doesn't have a cage of any kind and isn't very fond of...

Good to see something like this on a site like that :) https://www.boredpanda.com/bunny-rabbit-adoption-easter-pet-psa-maurie/ I like the one about destroying your house :D

well, I learned a long time ago that calling them is useless when they have something in their mouth, they ignore me completly and even every treat until they finish what they started. Today I tried to remove a tick from my 10lbs boys neck, no chance to restrain him well enough to get the tick...

I had to bury Magda today, she died last night. Not so surprising, I suspected there was something serious going on, her last two litters were a mess and she was retired from breeding. She wasn't a pet, but lifestock, anyway, when caring for an animal for many years one gets attached to it. She...
