Hey guys, i've had so many bun problems in the past 2 weeks i can barely handle it!
Max (Mini lop, 4 months old) is on an antibiotic called Bactrim (or something similar?) for a breif bout of GI stasis about a week ago that also came with mucousy poops (vet said could be a parasite, after a few days of meds he is perfectly fine and pooing, eating and peeing normally).
But, I have noticed in the past few days he has a bit of crusty build up around his nose. he isnt sneezing or acting weird, his paws dont seem to have any crust on them either but it's rather concerning. I should probably add that their cages have been FILTHY lately - we changed the cage into a different room and they've lost all sense of toilet training - something we're slowly trying to build back up but in mean time their cages get extremely messy during the day - poops and pees everywhere. He has been drinking and peeing a lot more than usual lately - they both have (unless we just notice it more now that they arent litter trained) so i'm thinking perhaps nose crust is due to messy cage - its inflaming him a little?
Second problem with max is malloclusion - made a thread about this a while back BUT we have noticed lately he has a problem with chewing wire - unfortunately not cables and the like - the WIRE ON HIS CAGE ! (gah!) how can we stop this behaviour? its only going to make his teethys worse
Next we have Wolfgang - 4 months old Netherland dwarf. lately he has lost quite a bit of his appetite. he is still eating but he barely eats anything! still active, still happy, still normal poops and pees (if anything his poops are better now than they have ever been) but it seems he has gone off his pellets? he eats other things but only eats the pellets when there is no vegetables left. is this a problem?
