The rabbit I'm fostering was a feral who has a healing laceration on her leg. It is also infected but getting better by the week. I've had her for 2 weeks and on the weekend she surprised me with babies. She had three underdeveloped stillborn babies and one TINY alive baby. The baby...

If a mama rabbit gave birth less than 24 hours ago, it is okay to bring mama and her baby to the vet? Currently the nest box has one baby and is in the kennel. Her water and pellets are also in the kennel. I have a little area secured outside the kennel for her litter box. The vet told me to...

The bunny I'm caring for right now has a deep and infected laceration on her leg so the vet sent us home with a cone. She's eating and drinking her food normally but she left a few cecotropes this morning, I assume she can't eat them straight from her bum. How do I feed them back to her? In a...

My personal rabbit and rabbits that I take care of get fed LOTS of veggies. Momo and the one I'm caring for right now (Phoebe) both weigh around 4-5 pounds and they get two bowls a day, each bowl being around 2 ish cups sometimes more sometimes less. I've never had problems with their gut but...

I ordered hay to be delivered to my house. It was mentioned to me that it was an older harvest and therefore a discounted price, I always received very nice hay from these people so I didn't think too much of it. The hay is very yellow and doesn't have a sweet smell. It doesn't smell like much...

I have a very tiny rabbit. She was 3.5lbs her last vet appointment but since then I think she's gotten fatter (which is a good thing because she was a skinny feral). I heard that rabbits typically eat their size in hay per day. My rabbit eats probably 4x or 5x her size in her. In the morning I...

My rabbit Momo, in the last week, has started to dig all the contents of her litter box onto the floor. I don't mind the hay, since hay gets everywhere anyways, but it's not fun to be cleaning up urine soaked paper bedding and wood pellets everyday. It's also important to note that she has a...

We are starting a rescue for feral rabbits. We know we will be taking in a lot of pregnant bunnies. Because we have volunteers coming by to care for the rabbits, I don't think it would be a good idea for all of them to handle the babies. We are being advised by other rescues, but because they...

Doing some serious convincing to my mom to allow me to get a companion for Momo. She is estimated around 8-9 months now. What do you think is an appropriate age for a companion for her? All of the ones at the shelter right now are all under six months.

I have a couple of sentimental stuffies on my bed. The other night I noticed that Momo licks the stuffies. Because of this, I decided to leave the ones she liked in her area. Does this mean she's lonely? I have chatted with my mom about getting another rabbit friend for her. She's not quite on...

Starting a feral rabbit rescue, almost all of the females will probably be pregnant. I have not had any personal experience caring for newborn kits and just looking for any sources to help develop my research before we start capturing.

I am so thrilled! Momo had her check up last night and things went great. The doctor said that everything seemed fine from her physical exam, but I opted to have her x-rays taken again to be sure. She's completely better and there's no more mucus in her lungs like before. Her lungs look much...

I feed my pet rabbit Sherwood, but I'm starting a rescue for the ferals and feeding all of them Sherwood is too expensive. Feed stores sell rabbit food for pretty cheap. Does anyone have any favourites? I was looking at Hi-Pro but the nutrition seems to be mediocre. I supposed though when...

I've been buying 10lb boxes of SPS for $45 CAD. A feed store close to me sells a grass mix for $14.75 CAD for 60lbs. I'll probably continue to buy "treat" hays like oat for example.

My girl is currently on two different hays: Third cut timothy and orchard grass. She would not eat much hay and after switching her over to a softer hay she did eat a bit more.. But she's still wasting so much! I'm probably refilling 3x her body size in hay each day. She will remove all of the...

So context: My rabbit is completely free roamed in my bunny-proofed room and usually I will leave the door open too so she can go in the hallway and downstairs. I take care of her but I work an 8AM-5PM job, my mom is working from home. She's currently recovering from a lung infection but still...

I found her as a feral. Didn't know any better and took her home. She is absolutely one of the many loves of my life (also a mom to three dogs). Not that it matters, but I have been trying to search for her breed with no luck. ' She doesn't look like anything... very strange proportions. Her...

Bunnies will be in foster homes for 2-3 weeks so they can recover from surgery. Thought of the problem that once they acclimate to indoor temperatures, releasing them back into the city might face some problems. It's winter right now. Very might but we are facing temperatures up to -10C (will...

My rescued bun is super smart. She's learned spin, paw, and walk (on hind legs) in less than a month. Our current trick we are working on it fetch but it's quite difficult. We're using a wooden spoon as her fetch object. She knows how to pick it up on command. Sometimes she'll fling it...

My poor rabbit has a lung infection. Luckily, I was able to catch it and bring her into the vet before it spread or became a chronic issue. We're back to the schedule of giving her several different medicines/drops and putting her in a nebulizer everyday. I'm still anxiously waiting for the lab...
