No, not me. A schoolfriend of mine lives there, and the stories he tells... Nope. Not going to set a foot on that ground. TPBM has a vegetable garden

Imho papaya doesn't do much. Theoretically yes, in laboratory settings, but not in real life. Neither does pineapple. But as long it's not given in a form that contains a lot of sugar, like fresh, canned, or dried, it shouldn't do harm. I wouldn't rely on that, hair is **** hard to dissolve. A...

Right, could be a diet issue. It could also be a sign of a slowly beginning motility issue, like athritis, making it difficult/painful to reach there and to clean himself. Is he behaving normally, hopping to places as usual, not avoiding steps etc.?

That bug came from elsewhere, just a bug. Well, you definitly know it's worms when you see them, but I'm not so sure about the lenght, you can google "rabbit worms" or "rabbit pinworms", or look it up on Medirabbit.com I've heard of rabbits eating bunny berries, not so rare, but I have no idea...

Well, update. 8 left, went too smoothly for a week, then 3 got diarrhia, bloat and died, 2 more had that troubles but got over it with simethicone, extra water, a little salt, Fibreplex once I had it - and are as healthy as the others now. By now I ran out of canned evaporated goat milk, I'm...

A pet safe fur trimmer is an excellent tool for such work, and to keep the fur shorter in the nether regions for when a bunny is a lazy cleaner or gets older, or fur tends to mat for no reason. This one looks like most of it should come off pretty easily, I would hold the fur at the skin and...

Since food is grown right next to roads, i don't think this is as much of an issue as one might think. I keep 2-3m away from roads when foraging, mostly because of dogs and sometimes people peeing everywhere, more of a disgust issue than health concerns. When there are weeds growing, and...

Or a wildlife rehab. Or any other who has a healthy rabbit, but imo normal poo would do the job too. But no, unless cottontails are different to domestic rabbits in that regard, they don't need cecotropes. The does do not leave them lying around for the kits, that would turn the nest into a...

Since the both look the same it's not likely an injury or something. Anyway, how warm is it where he is? Do they look like this all the time, even when he shouldn't be warm? I rarely see them full out like that, my buck and house bunny just had one large testicle, and I never even noticed...

Welcome, what exactly is her diet? You could try offering her some soft, damp pellets, if she eats that in my opinion it could be a hint towards a dental issue. Would she eat the fine stuff from the bottom of the hay bag/bale? My rabbits like it, even when green food is available and normal...

My Ruth had something that looked exactly like that, even more blood. I reckon it was an insect bite, 2 days later nothing to be seen.

Everything natural? Compost, bunny berries, rabbit urine.... Or just mulching used hay and greens after mowing, and spreading grass clippings from neighbours, that's how I restored my meadow from an ankle high wasteland to a lush greenery. That has by far the most positive effects on the soil...

All of them are fine.

'sigh' My lovely Lotte, my youngest doe aged just 1 died last sunday due to blockage, I noticed something was off Saturday noon when she refused her oats. Symptoms were quite different to stasis episodes I've had with other rabbits. Since nothing I tried showed any improvement I got her to a...

I wouldn't trust reviews, but call the other vets and decide myself if I think they know about rabbits. Like, you could ask about the gut stimulant. This, and IV fluids are the most common reasons I go to my vet when what I can do doesn't quite cut it.

What does the abcess look and feel like? Is there a hole or scab in the middle, or is the skin perfectly intact? Well, since you're going to the vet tomorrow anyway there isn't anything to be done for now, hopefully it's not a big deal. Keep us updated please.

The way I approach rabbits that don't like to be handled is: What needs to get done, gets done, that's a fact, no doubt, no discussion - and no apologies, not even in my mind, well, I do my best. If you are determined in what you are doing this can make things a lot easier, they do pick up if we...

I would get it off asap, especially if it isn't clompletly dried up and smells - that could attract flies, take a very close look for eggs. If it's a problem or not is hard to say from afar, if it's just normal bunny berries stuck in the fur I would remove it and keep an eye on his poop, that...

A pheromone glue trap should be perfectly safe. No toxins involved.

Pheromones? As far as I can tell although they have scent glands does themself don't smell. I think they use them to make their poop smell for rabbit noses when they mark their territory. Bucks can be smelly, or more precisely, their hutch can get a distinct, musky odour. They themself don't...
