They're cute! I would cover the top and the door of the cage with mats, you don't want those paws to get trapped, that can cause some very nasty injuries.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss, we know how much you loved the little dude. I don't believe he was over-medicated, those are the types of medications I would expect and it is very likely he was not in pain given the buprenorphine, if that's any consolation although I know nothing is during...

I am passing on advice from our vet who teaches rabbit medicine at one of the best vet schools in the world. Think of pellets as treats.

They sometimes go off pellets. As long as they are still eating lots of hay I wouldn't worry too much. Have you tried a new bag of pellets? They do go stale. Or you could slowly switch her to different pellets?

No oats! Just a small amount of pellets and lots and lots of grass hay.

How much pellets are you feeding? They should not get more than 1 tbsp a day. If she is eating lots of hay I really would not worry and I would not syringe feed. The weight loss is not that big. Perhaps slowly add some veg to the diet. On the basis of the blood results you have given I would not...

A 2lb bunny should get about 0.4ml. meloxicam (15mg/ml. strength) twice a day. It really annoys me that vets are still under-prescribing pain relief after a spay. It's cruel.

So sorry for your loss. Probably the best thing you can do for your bunny is to look for a rescue centre where they have several singles and have him pick out a mate. With any luck, the rescue will bond them for you.

Don't buy another bunny. Get your bunny spayed first, wait 8 weeks, then try to find a neutered male friend in a rescue centre.

Don't use chicken wire - dangerous. Use welded mesh instead.

Are you able to go up to him without him running away? Are you able to pet his head? Could you not gradually desensitise him by petting him and slowly start touching different parts of his body?

Most bunnies hate being taken out of their familiar environment and get very stressed which is often not noticed by their (inexperienced) parents until the bunny gets ill. There is nothing in it for them to be taken to stores, etc. The only use I can think of for a pet stroller is for transport...

She did not hurt you intentionally. Aggression is almost always due to fear or a medical issue. It could also be referred aggression in this case as you brought in another bunny. Have them both neutered and bond them 8 weeks after?

Our vets spay if bunny is 16 weeks and over 800g. Just make sure you go to a very good rabbit vet.

Poopy butt is almost always diet related. Keep on a hay only diet (nothing else at all) for at least a couple of weeks. Then gradually add in a tiny bit of other food. Wait two weeks between introductions of new foods and keep a food diary. Don't give more than 1 tbsp pellets a day (and none in...
