Hey everyone! So a few months ago I adopted two baby rabbits that are both boys. I got them at 4 weeks (I didn't know that they were so young or that this was bad at the time) and I didn't understand all the work that goes into bonding and caring for rabbits but im trying my best! Anyways, my...

Hey all! So, as I talked about in my last thread, I recently adopted two baby rabbits from a coworker that are only about 5 weeks old. Unfortunately, their momma got pregnant again right after they were born and kicked them out after she had the second litter so here we are. I'm very...

I'm just now seeing this, but thank you! I have gradually added pellets back in and he's been gaining more since then! Knock on wood he keeps growing:) im still not giving them unlimited pellets because then they won't eat their hay, but they've been doing well. thank you to everyone who replied...

I'm not sure because I never saw which one had pooped, I just found the poop afterwards. I am trying to get them into the vet but as of right now the earliest they can get me in is the 14th :(

Thank you for your continued help! I have been giving them mostly Timothy hay and have been slowly reintroducing alfalfa, which they love and seem to be handling well. I think that the Timothy hay is a good texture for them and they tend to pick through the bigger, coarser pieces to get to the...

Should they have oats yet since they are so young? I weighed them last night, one is 351g and the other is 278g

I believe they are a polish mix. The woman we got them from said that their mother was a polish and (mini?) rex mix, but I'm not completely sure!

These are the best I could get as of right now, they're currently not in a sitting still kinda mood! But yes, unfortunately they are only 4 weeks old because their mother had another litter and abandoned them. We got them from my mom's coworker, not a breeder or anything, and I wasn't aware...

Okay, thank you! They've been eating the Timothy hay right up. Is there any way to tell if the hay is too coarse? I'm on my first bag of hay ever so I dont have much of a baseline, haha. It's Kaytee brand, which was the only option our Rural King had. Had I known about the brands reputation...

Okay, thank you so much! I gave them timothy hay this morning and they've been loving it and their poops are looking healthy! A couple more quick questions though. they're eating a LOT of the hay, which im assuming is normal because it's less calorically dense than the pellets, that couldn't...

I took away the pellets after the mucousy poop because I read that eating more hay would get them more fiber and help to settle things back down. I'm not sure what they are beforehand, I will try to get in contact with the previous owner tomorrow. Theyre going after the Timothy hay like crazy...

Okay, thank you for that link! I also took a look at the rabbits for dummies book and I know I'll be going back to that pretty often! I don't give them any treats or fresh greens, but I know that the people we adopted them from had been giving them fruits and veggies and i guess they had been...

also regarding that picture - sorry its not great quality, my phone's camera is busted. it is dried out some now but there was a clearish, gelatinous substance in the poop.

I have been feeding them unlimited alfalfa hay and science selective junior pellets. I've also been giving them a bit of Timothy hay every day so that they're used to it. i took their pellets away for a little while so they could get more fiber. I've attached a picture of the one poop I still...

thank you so much for your help so far! I've tried to do a lot of research but sometimes it seems like I cant find a straight answer. I've calmed down a bit and im just monitoring them for now and making sure they act okay.

Hey all, Earlier this week I adopted to baby bunnies. I hadn't known when I agreed to take them, but they are only 4 weeks old and were pushed out when their mom had a new litter. I've been trying my best but im a brand new and very paranoid bunny mom. Earlier today one of them had a couple of...

Hey everyone! I'm totally new here so apologies if this is the wrong place. Anyways, one of my coworkers had a litter of rabbits. Well, somehow, the momma rabbit got pregnant very quickly after the first litter and just had a second, effectively abandoning her first. We took two of the babies...
