Yes, Ted was very lucky to survive this problem. The vet made it clear that he might pass on during surgery. Afterwards he was very stressed and battling infection. We drove up there to bring him some of his favorite super soft hay, and they allowed us to visit with him for 10 minutes...

I’m sorry for your loss

Thank you, I will remember that.

Hi all, We’ve had Ted for almost 4 years, and he‘s never had health issues. About 2 months ago he had a routine check up, and the vet said he was in excellent health. But ten days ago I noticed that he didn’t eat anything for about 12 hours, so I rushed him to a vet located about 90...

Update…..I purchased a 10 lb box of FIRST cut Timothy hay. Ted tried it, didn’t like it. So I got another box of SECOND cut hay, and mix them together, mush in a small piece of banana for flavor, and he eats them both.

You can leave some animals alone for a while, but not rabbits. I used to work in a job that required travel every other week. I would leave Sunday nights, and return Thursday evenings. I would leave plenty of food and water for my cat. Four days alone wasn’t detrimental to his health...

You might have to do a more thorough treatment to fix this problem, like treating the animals and the house I am going through something similar right now. I was watching a neighbors cat while she was away, and a circumstance arose where I had to bring the cat into my house for an hour...

Thanks dogwoodblossoms. I do mix in orchard or oat hay with his second cut Timothy occasionally.

Hi everyone, I’m about to reorder hay for Teddy. I usually get 20lb boxes of SECOND cut Timothy hay from small pet select. I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to change it up, and get a box of FIRST or THIRD cut hay for my next order? Is variety of hay good for him? I’m thinking it...

Thanks for the responses. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. I was wondering if this behavior is nature or nurture . I guess it’s probably a combination of both. It’s not surprising that my little guy has a big fat inflated ego, because I spoil him rotten. What a character he is! well...

My Ted is a free range bunn, he has 24/7 access to several rooms in the house. He usually comes to me when called by name……but not right away. He generally makes me wait a minute or two before he graces me with his presence. Even when he knows I’m putting fresh greens down for him, he...

Wow I’ve never noticed if there were foxtails in the hay. I’ve seen plenty of Timothy seed heads tho. I will try to watch for the foxtails in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion CrazyChickenGirl. That looks like a good product, but Ted doesn’t have a cage to attach it to. He is a free range bunn, with 24/7 access to half of my small house.

Excellent suggestion, overhear. I think I will get that gravity waterer. Thanks.

Hmm I tried posting a pic of the bowl from my photo library. I was able to do it in the past but it doesn’t work now. Anyway it’s a big stainless steel bowl meant for dogs, just wondering if anybody has knowledge of a smaller, tip proof bowl for mischievous rabbits?

I have been using a ceramic bowl for Ted’s drinking water, but recently he’s acquired the bad habit of tipping it over. I’m looking for a new tip-proof bowl that’ll work for a rabbit. I will probably get a stainless steel bowl meant for dogs, unless anybody has a better suggestion…..?

I was a difficult teenager. I suppose I’m lucky that I wasn’t rehomed during that time. :D I think it’s quite possible that with the spaying, and passage of time, she will settle down and become a good friend to you. Good luck!

Nice detective work there!

That rabbit looks huge, almost big enough to put a saddle on and ride him. Ted and I wish you good luck with the Nugget. FYI there are many good resources here, like links to proper care + feeding of your bunn, and also good advice from helpful people.

I was referring to when I first saw Ted. What I think happened back then, was one of my neighbors moved away, and left him behind. So he was just roaming around the neighborhood for a while. I would see him in the evenings. He’d let me get close, then run away. I left food for him...
