I've seen baby/adolescent rabbits do that all the time ... not so much adults, though.

Of course it could be a UTI and the hopping is from pain, but it could also be a spinal condition or arthritis issue. Those don't always keep the bun from moving around completely. One of my past bunnies was hopping funny and could not project urine away from his body and eventually he developed...

Nips are not unusual, but typically the better it goes in a neutral, unfamiliar setting, the better chance things will continue to be on the easy side at home. Even buns that get along fantastically in neutral territory can fight when brought home into one bunny;s territory. I think if you can...

Thank you Randy for the response. A couple of questions. Is there a difference between the treatments you mention of true diarrhea and runny cecals? I have only seen normal stools during the day so I am pretty sure the issue is only with the cecals. Secondly, will bladder sludge not show up...

I'm double-posting since I'm not sure if you saw my edited post above before replying. Edit for one more thought: I suppose it is possible that what has seemed to be urine on her was actually from the runny cecals. I know her fur is now badly stained which is definitely from the runny cecals...

Also, her appetite and activity levels have been normal. Edit for one more thought: I suppose it is possible that what has seemed to be urine on her was actually from the runny cecals. I know her fur is now badly stained which is definitely from the runny cecals this time, even after a butt...

I mean cecals. It has only happened overnight and she has normal poops the rest of the time. She is 5.5 years old. I have been feeding her oxbow timothy hay, oxbow bunny basics T, and a small amount of veggies (usually parsley or romaine lettuce). The vet did say it was a gut stimulant and...

Lately Sonicka has been having some intermittent runny cecals and some occasional urine staining on her rear end. She doesn't get badly soaked or urine burned, but slightly wet and has stained fur. Her ears have also been looking droopier again (months ago she was treated with antibiotics for...

I hope this rant helped you feel better ... though it probably wasn't funny while you were dealing with this guy, it made an entertaining read!

Mike ... I missed this thread until now. I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Scone's passing. He was an awesome bunny and loved by many. So sorry for your loss.

My husband and I just moved into a new home (previously we were living with my parents), so now Sonicka is an indoor rabbit again! She was living in the garage at my parents house due to family allergies. Here she is in her NIC condo in our extra bedroom. More pics to come after we get more...

Thanks, angie, I was actually reading that yesterday :)

My hubby and I just moved into our new home and in the mail yesterday I received a coupon, informational sheet and a business card from a vet hospital nearby. It says they see exotics, so I'm cautiously hopeful that they might be knowledgeable with rabbits. The past year I've had trouble...

When I was in college my bunnies stayed with my parents .... they didn't forget me :) I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Congrats!

Since I was a young child, I have gotten 4 rabbits from pet stores and adopted 3 from a shelter. Several of the pet store bunnies had health issues that may have been due to their likely bad background, though I can't say for sure. I plan to purchase my next rabbit from a responsible breeder...

An eye color does exist that is brown with a ruby glow ... I remember reading about it when trying to figure out what color my "american sable" colored rabbit was.

Being past college and married, I'm a little out of the demographic you're asking, but I have had pet rabbits since I was 6 years old, and started joining online rabbit communities around age 15. Now that hubby and I are buying our own home soon, we will definitely be adding to our rabbit/pet...

Rabbits have no body odor, unlike dogs, for example. Their urine is the problem but it is easy to manage with the correct litter, and with cleaning often enough. I love Feline Pine litter, it smells great and absorbs very well leaving no stink. It is a pelleted wood litter that is kiln-dried...

Thanks, guys. I hope Sonicka does OK by herself. She seems pretty subdued today :(
