    Is no food the day of surgery normal?

    Hi everyone, here with an update! This was through GRR at Hilltop in Alachua. I asked a second time when they confirmed my appointment about fasting and the lady insisted he fast. I told her this is dangerous for rabbits so she finally talked to a tech who confirmed he can be fed up till...

    Is no food the day of surgery normal?

    Unfortunately I don't have much choice in the vet. I'm doing it through the local rabbit rescue at a discounted price. I don't think this office gets rabbits often, they have only one rabbit savvy vet who has supposedly been approved by the program. I don't think the vet was in when I made the...

    Is no food the day of surgery normal?

    Just scheduled Moose's neuter and the woman who took my appointment said to not feed him anything after midnight the night before his surgery. Sounds normal for dogs or people, but a rabbit? Isn't it important they keep eating? I asked, even hay? And she just repeated no food. Do I follow her...

    Anyone have vet suggestions for Gainesville FL?

    Sorry about the really specific subject, but I feel quite pressed for time. I already have an appointment for a neuter for next Wednesday but I want to cancel ASAP because they're charging twice the amount I expected! It's at the UF small animal hospital and I took my boy there a few months ago...

    Feeding a Bonded Pair of Different Ages

    My Moose is about 10 weeks old and lives on his own. I give him unlimited alfalfa pellets so I just fill the bowl when it's empty. I almost routinely have been filling it with 2/3 cups of pellets a day, so that amount sounds good to me :) Not sure how much he weighs by now but I would guess it's...

    Ordered a new cage

    LaylaLop wrote: I got a similar one. It's just bits of wood with bark and a metal bell. Rilee loves it. She nudges it, chews it, and uses it when she wants attention or dinner. :P

    Flooring options

    I recently switched to the foam puzzle pieces mentioned above, but to protect the foam from bunny teeth and my carpet from liquid, I literally wrapped the whole thing in plastic. I got 2 shower curtain liners (clear) and wrapped the 4 puzzle pieces. So far it's worked beautifully! I used to have...

    To bond or not to bond?

    (Wasn't sure where to put this, feel free to move if appropriate :) ) Hi everyone! I just got a new little baby - and he is seriously a little baby! I was told he was only 6 weeks old when he was handed over to me :shock: I already had Rilee, who should be turning 6 this summer (a...

    Litter box training - poop!

    Hahaha totally laughed at night pooper and groom poops! The only time Moose leaves piles is when he's eating pellets, which he does 24 hrs/day so hard to intervene. I have occasionally seen him sitting in the box and leeaaning over to eat pellets lol I appreciate the effort but he doesn't do...

    Litter box training - poop!

    I've been working on litter box training my little 8 week old Moose for 2 weeks now. When my other bun Rilee was a baby, she took to the box right away and has always been very good with it! (except for poops around her cage sometimes) Moose is doing well in the pee aspect, we only had ONE...

    Ronin's New Home

    The first year I had Rilee she lived under my dorm room.loft bed. I didn't hear her too much at night but she always woke me up early by tugging the bars/door. I had to take out bell toys before bed. I tried covering her cage with a towel but it didn't help the noise and she would just pull it...

    Digging / scratching toys

    This is going to sound kind of dumb and very generation Y, but I don't have any newspaper or phone books and I would actually have to try hard to find one. Lol! I love the tank idea! My older one Rilee loves to dig too but I never could come up with a good digging box idea. I want to try that...

    YOUR 2012 CAGES THAT YOU'VE MADE!!!!!!!

    3x3x3 one bunny housing o.o yes only one spoiled bun lives here. (Sorry about the phone pic) Bottom floor is the puzzle play foam wrapped in shower curtain lining on both sides. Top 2 are blankets. When baby Moose is bigger and potty trained I'll probably give him the top floor.

    Digging / scratching toys

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for some toy suggestions for my new bunny. He loves trying to dig and tear up the carpet with his teeth. :-/ He's only 8 weeks old so I'm trying to break the habit early. We've been saying no, clapping, slapping the ground, but I want to give him an alternative -...

    Stains by nose of baby bun

    Thanks guys! We decided to name him Moose Milton Montgomery hehehe. Yeah I never bought alfalfa hay for my other bun Rilee, but because Moose was SO small I did get him some. Now I only give a few stalks as he'll only eat leaves otherwise and it doesn't properly wear down his teeth then. He...

    Stains by nose of baby bun

    Thanks everyone for the help and advice! We saw the vet yesterday and the poop trapped in the fur by his butt was gone, he must have cleaned it. She noticed his nose stain but said they wouldn't do anything unless it got worse or lasted longer than a few weeks. Some back teeth were a...

    Stains by nose of baby bun

    I haven't noticed anything between his front legs, but today I noticed it's a bit messy between his back legs... I've seen him making lots of normal poops, haven't seen any messy poops in his cage. He drinks a lot, should I add pedialyte to his water?

    Stains by nose of baby bun

    Hi guys :) Last week I got a tiny baby half lop half lion head. He was given to me by my boyfriend's boss's wife who was breeding them for her sister's pet store. Horrible, I know. It gets worse. They were visiting the sister on Easter so they wanted to bring the babies to sell that day. I...
