    3ish Male Holland Lop, neutered, part of bonded pair. Backstory - this is my friends bunny and about 3.5 weeks ago, he had what she described as a seizure in the middle of the night. She took him to the emergency vet clinic and by the time she arrived, he was acting completely fine. They did...

    Nutri Cal & Benebac Questions

    I just read Pam's note in the infirmary about GI stasis season and Nutri Cal. I've never given Nutri Cal and wondered more about it. I was able to find a little information in the library but still have questions. From my reading, I assume you would only use Nutri Cal if you start to see any...

    Penny

    Penny passed away January 4th. She has had a lot of problems over the last year and many instances of stasis. We didn't find out what was causing the problem but she didn't make it through the last bought of stasis, even with a very good emergency hospital doing their best. Binkie free Penny, I...

    Wii Games - What should we get for Christmas?

    We have only had our Wii for a short time. We have Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros and Guitar Hero. I'm getting Wii Fit for Christmas for me. I think my sister is getting us animal crossing: city folk with Wii speak. My kids are asking for more Wii games and I'd like to get games the whole...

    Food Agression causing problems with bonded pair

    I have a bonded pair that has been living together for several months now. Things seem fine with them unless it's feeding time. Basil (neutered male) has always been aggressive at feeding time but now he's taking it out on Penny. When he sees me open the bag of pellets he starts chasing her and...

    I'm Going to a Mother-Daughter Ranch Camp this weekend

    I've never been to camp before, ever. I grew up in northern Michigan and there wasn't a lot of opportunity. I had a horse from the time I was 8 until I went to college but I haven't ridden since college. I'm so excited to ride again! Plus, my sister and her daughter are coming too. My sister...

    I don't think they are rabbits... party animals maybe

    Penny and Basil had a party in my bedroom this evening! :shock: I was downstairs cleaning the basement and then upstairs doing laundry, etc. and I heard a large crash. I ran to my bedroom and looked in. I didn't bother to turn on the light because it wasn't quite dark in there yet but I could...

    Bonding Question

    Basil and Penny have been spending a lot of time together in a large cage (2x5 NIC Panels) in my bedroom with a large run attached to that for about a week. This morning they have been together for 3 hours so far. There have been no fights but earlier on there were a couple of nips and move away...

    White vinegar/water on rabbit's fur

    I was cleaning Basil's cage just now and the crazy explorer bunny Basil tried to jump from the couch to my back and made it but then slid off into my water bucket. I use a very diluted (maybe 1/3 a cup of white vinegar) in about half a gallon of warm water to clean his cage. He didn't sink down...

    Penny not eating as much as normal

    Penny has not been eating as much as normal. I'm worried about her and just when I think I need to do something different, she hops in her litter box and starts munching hay and leaves a nice normal looking pile of poos. I don't know what to think. This is kind of a gradual thing. A coupleof...

    Took care of my sister's kids during her surgery and...

    My sister's surgery went well and she seems to be recovering well (although it's still early on). I got the kids off to and from school and made sure there was plenty of food around when she got home from the hospital. I had offered to care for the guinea pig and she finally took me up on the...

    Stressed and Worried about my sister ramblings

    I was sitting here worrying about my rabbits and wondering if they were eating enough, pooping, etc. and realized that they are just fine and it's me that is stressed out. I realize that when I'm stressed out about anything, I worry more about my rabbits. Kinda odd, I know. :nerves1 My sister...

    Biting when I'm done petting him

    Basil has a nasty habit of lunging at me when I'm pulling my hand away when I'm done petting him. Today he drew blood again. Any suggestions to stop this behaviour? A little background: I've had Basil since Sept 30, 2007. He was between 1 and 2 when I got him and I had him neutered in...

    Acting very sleepy/lethargic - 8 year old rabbit

    He seemed fine yesterday and this morning when I left for work nothing seemed unusual. He ate his lettuce and acted like he didn't want to be in his cage. Now he seems like he's very tired and he's not interested in lettuce. I think he's eaten a bit today and there's poos in his litter box. Any...

    Gas? GI Stasis? I've never seen this before

    I'm worried about Penny. I don't think she is eating like she normally does and she seems a bit more lethargic. She did eat a few pieces of lettuce. Of course it is Saturday evening and no emergency vets even close by. Can/Should I give her Simethicone?Or should I just keep pushing stuff she...

    How do I encourage hay eating?

    I have a 2 or 3 year old mini-Rex that I got September 30th from another family. When I got him, they gave me the food he was on too and it was Kaytee Fiesta so I switched him over to Oxbow Timothy Pellets. He didn't come with hay so I'm not sure if they ever gave him any. I've been giving him...

    Hopefully Bonding Basil & Penny

    Day two: Moved into their castles. Penny's was basically the same castle but a bit smaller to fit next to Basil. Basil's is new to him and they are both in a new space. I expected some thumping out of Basil but he seems pretty happy about the whole set up. He loves to climb and has two levels in...

    Hello Everyone

    Hello everyone. I am fairly new to this forum but have been checking out all the advice on bonding. I started out with one rabbit (Cadbury, now age 7) as a pet for my daughter, and last April took in a youngster from someone at work who didn't want her anymore (Penny, now about 10 months old)...
