Afaik, although wild white rabbits can be found in the arctic and on mountains, I guess what he has there are feral or escaped domestic rabbits (european rabbits). Neither the eastern cottontail or the swamp rabbit are white, so most likely domestics. To attach a picture click on "attach files"...

Those spambots get better and better :(. Just google that "guy", discovered a lot of interests all over the net very recently, from boating, weight loss, Teslas, you name it - always answering to a post about dating or similiar topics. That they start with a innocent post and drop the links...

I had does go to day 35 regularily, nothing to do but wait it out.

Well, best wishes healthwise :), although I kinda envy you. Just kidding, but I really could enjoy a week or so in bed, no chance, all my colleages are on sick leave now and then, not me. Using public transport seems to made me immune to all that bugs. Have accumulated what, about 60 or 70...

I only give extra calcium when it's obvious that it can't be long anymore, Not that it's absolutly necessary, just one of the things you read and think may help. Giving a little alfalfa now and upping her pellets isn't going to hurt, effects due to problems getting rid of excess calcium imho is...

Well, that's obviously not ideal, but rabbits are rabbits, that happens... I don't think they ever get infertile. Right now I would start to feed her well, and be sure that her calcium levels are high when the time comes, some offer them a Tums(fruit flavoured), I sprinkle a little ground up...

No. In the best case it would even eat insectes that can be a nuisance.

I give meds on a little oatmeal, mixed with a little mushed vegetable or fruit mine get anyway (carrot, Topinambur, apple..), just as much as it needs to soak up the medicine, maybe a teaspoon or so. Might work with pellets too if they like them. No struggle giving it that way :) I think some...

Nope, don't think so. It's not like nature doesn't provide a plethora of deadly viruses. It's just that it's realy dumb and shortsighted for us humans adding new ones or helping to spread local plagues worldwide. It's especially dumb when it targets domestic animals that are important in many...

What I would do: First, wash his bum. That doesn't look that bad, I think you'll get away with using a wet washcloth since it's a rather small area. Use plenty of water though but try to not get too much of the rabbit wet. I don't use shampoo or soap, I don't mind some discolouring but prefer...

Edit,... oops, didn't see the date of the thread.

I would give simethicone too (infant gas drops, availably at every pharmacy), at least 20mg per serving (more doesn't hurt), 3 times a day. It helps to pass the gas.

Looks like uneaten cecotropes to me. If you sqish them they are way more smelly than regular bunny berries. Normally they eat them right from the anus, but if they get disturbed or whatever some can end up laying around. Seeing that once in a while isn't unusual. If it happens regularily, in...

It's always difficult to tell with mixes, but there could be some checkered giant in his history, just an impression from his proportions. My first (permanent) house bunny was mixed meat rabbit, with checkered giant in him, he was such a lovely character, fearless af, and his size helped to not...

I started with similiar prejudice, but pretty quickly realised that keeping them alone didn't make me happy. Now, for ne, a lot of the joy from keeping rabbits comes from watching them interact. Bucks, together, that's something I never tried, and don't think has much of a chance to work...
