My heart is broken today. I re-homed my 2 buns yesterday. We are planning a cross country move with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and could not figure out a way to do it without stressing the buns to a point where I felt it would be unfair and possibly dangerous for them. They actually got to go to the...

My bun had sore hocks and she was on carpet. I put the foam pads that are made for kids play rooms down and then covered them with blankets, and it helped a ton. Only problem was, my male bunny got under blankets and ate some of the foam. It took a lot of trial and error, but for now I have...

Actually they started the behavior with a bag of pellets they had been eating from for a couple of weeks. I did go out and buy a new bag, just in case the pellets had gone bad. Same reaction.

It's like they have both realized that they don't have to hurry because the pellets will be there for them all day. They used to sit in front of bowl and not budge until the pellets were gone. So I would say it's a behavior change in both of them.

The male will be 2 years next week The female is a rescue from the streets... estimated to be between 3 -4 years old The female had to have her molars trimmed this summer and last summer. The males teeth were checked and everything looked good They get a little less than 1/4 cup in the morning...

Hi everybody, Has anyone had the experience of their buns losing enthusiasm over their pellets, but everything else is ok? They are still eating hay, treats, playing, drinking water, and they had their teeth done a few weeks ago. They used to run up to their pellets in the morning and eat...

Hi guys, I know this is probably a shot in the dark.... I am looking for a bunny savvy pet sitter. Located in Maryland. If you or anybody you know qualifies, please reach out. Thank you!

I recently went through a scary Stasis with my bun.. Two nights with the emergency vet and 7 days of meds at home. She did not start to perk up until the night of the 2nd day home. I made the same choice as you and did not take her back to vet. I worried too that it was more stressful for her...

Did your vet take x-rays to rule out a blockage? i am still a relatively new rabbit owner, but I recently had a bad GI scare. The vet explained how important it was to rule out a blockage before force feeding and giving gut motility drugs.

HI, my girl Phrosty had a bad GI scare about a month ago. Took her to outpatient vet 2 days in a row,, and then to an emergency vet, where she spent 2 nights. When she came home she would not eat, or move, and her tiny little poops were sparse. I also came home with Critical Care and a lot...

My bun hates to be held and she recently had a bad bout of GI. Had to have meds for 7 days 3x a day plus Critical Care. I found the technique of letting her stay on the ground to be very helpful. It also ended my fear of her hurting her spine when she struggled while I tried to hold her. You...

Just make sure they cannot burrow under the rug or blanket and get to mats.. That's what mine did. Clever little buns :)

Just be careful.... I used the interlocking mats because one bun got sore hocks. All was good for about 2 months. Then one morning I went into pen and the buns had chewed and chewed on them... They have a ton of free hay, leafy veggies, and pellets.. so it was not hunger. Shortly after this...

Just read the coverage limits closely. They allot a certain amount of money per policy year for each thing they cover. For example.. the maximum allowed for Diagnostics of a GI Stasis is $220. There is no medication coverage under Stasis. The maximum allowed for "foreign object surgical" is...

Just found out that I am capped for the policy year. If she has another GI problem, there will be no coverage, unless it is from an obstruction that needs medical or surgical help to remove. Interesting how they make sure they do not have to pay out too much $$.

I have Nationwide for my two. It is $12 a month per bun, and luckily they had no preexisting conditions. My girl just spent 2 days in the ICU and 2 outpatient visits, over $2500. So far Nationwide has reimbursed me about $700. It's not a lot, but seems to be a good deal since I only spend...

I have Nationwide and my girl Phrosty just had two out patient vet visits and then 2 nights in the ICU. A total of over $2500. Nationwide reimbursed me around $700 so far. It's not great, but more than the $110 I spend yearly on her insurance. I am going to call and see why more was not...

Nationwide has been great for me.

Santa Barbara... it can get down to frost and go up to 90. My family has lived there since the 70's. I moved east, and am going back to help care for my parents. i had a lot of rabbits as a kid and they all lived outside. I am much more informed about them as an adult, so much more nervous...

Thank you so much for all your ideas. I really appreciate it!!! The property has an old horse stall that is clean and safe, and I was thinking I could make it a bunny habitat. Attached is a fenced in corral. I would need to shore up the fencing, and I think I can maybe put heat lamps in the...
