I'm so sorry. RHD doesn't always show symptoms, and it often does kill pretty quick. Sometimes it's a rollercoaster with rabbits, this year I guess my vet starts to suspect that I'm just desperatly looking for social interaction or that I have a crush on her, but it is as it is, Fury was...

I had does kindle on day 35. And sometimes they start nest building just in time. Movement of the belly can be anything, my way to tell at this stage is watching them hop from behind, a fat doe moves like a maggot, a pregnant one more like she had swallowed a melon that is moving left and right...

With two rabbits dying in a short time, RHD is a possibility.

Patience. Isn't the waiting game fun? :D

Apart from the damp cloth treatment, nothing to do but to wait for the next molt :D. Once it's dried up it's merely a cosmetic issue. My girl Dotty, free range house bunny with my buck, can sing a song about that. Me too, wiping and mopping up every time he thinks his girl needs a colour change :D.

They are very vulnerable to all kinds of insect bites on their nose, little fur, and they don't see much there, It does happen that their noses look pretty rough due to that, more often than anything serious.

I see things somewhat different in some points. Not about that spaying is a good idea though, for many reasons, especially for free roaming indoor rabbits. All this hormonal behaviour can make life difficult for all involved. Cancer is a serious risk, although that 80% number is a somewhat blown...

I would have checked if he actually is fixed properly. I have intact bucks as free range house bunnies, the first one was alone with me for 2 years, and none of the issues you describe were there, so I wouldn't assume it's just about hormones but consider that it could be more about his...

Usually when I see them producing cecos they are completly bent over, I can't see their face, and some make wiered noises. I mean, they bend over to eat it right from their anus. What is the diet of your rabbits? Most times a too rich diet causes them to leave cecos, or if they are too chubby...

Well, that's a difficult thing to answer. As with dogs, you can be lucky and they get old healthy, but I have a friend who spent a fortune (she can't really afford) on her ever sickly dog. Rabbits, as prey animals, often don't show problems until they are rather severe, so I guess a lot of dog...

As I said, we can't diagnose from one picture (or at all), If nothing else is off, and it doesn't change with time I don't think there's much to worry. Would check his rear though to make sure there's nothing he tries to sooth by pressing it to the ground, but I never heard of rabbits doing that.

Never seen one of mine in that position, so no, not exactly normal I would say. How old is he? Can he hop and stand up normal, and when he sits upright are the legs appr. paralell under his body? Is it only on this type of floor (slippery?) where he does that? Does he assume a normal posture...

Dusty, like, Dust Bunny :D

Hm, at 3lbs, if I didn't miscalculate, that's quite a lot. Anyway, that she's eating and acting normal that's a good sign. Not sure what the side effects can be, if there are any worries I would contact the vet.

Which one do you have (I use the 1,5mg/ml dog version), the cat version is 0.5mg/ml if I remember correctly. My vet obviously uses an outdated handbook, so I had to adjust the dose myself. Anyway, Meloxicam is rather safe, I wouldn't expect much trouble but keep an eye on him. If it's the...

Wow, that's really tiny. Might be younger than I thought, small breeds mature faster.

Welcome :) A quick, and good read about feeding rabbits. It all depends on your options, and what works for you: https://www.harcourt-brown.co.uk/articles/free-food-for-rabbits There are several ways to feed rabbits right so that they get old healthy. Fruit and carrots can be a small part of...

Imo all that can be said is that the colour is broken black, that he is not a dwarf, rex or so. I would say a mix with good, healthy proportions, and rather small :). What is his weight? It's a shot in the dark and can be way off but I would have guessed his age between 4-6 months, the time when...

If there are uneaten cecos most often a too rich is the culprit. But I gather that your bunny doesn't leave any lying around, she does eat them right from her bottom - so it's not a motility issue that would make her drop them and eat them from the floor, quite often caused by being overweight...

I had the rooms covered my rabbits have access to in corrugated cardboard for half a year, not pretty but better for their feet than hard floors.
