Rufus’s face, shortly after me explaining to him that the mattress is not in fact there for him to dig a massive hole into 😥 So this little chap is just dying to get out of the spare room. He rushes to the door (or is already waiting behind it) and if I don’t have a hand free to move him...

Great, I think I’ll take her off completely then, see if she gets her bounciness back. We had 3 mornings of me having to give her belly rubs for an hour or so before she would eat, but no problems yesterday, so hopefully her tummy is settling down a bit. It might be in my head, but I...

One of my buns (Gigi) suffered from several gassy episodes last year and was eventually treated for GI stasis. I put her on a hay only diet for some time afterwards and slowly introduced a different brand of pellets (Zupreem Timothy Naturals). We had no tummy issues after that, but I have...

So I feel I’m finally there with these two 🙌🏻 It’s been a long process, but I’m comfortable their bond is now strong and they are adoption-ready. I’ve completely removed the pens from the room (which were open, but I had kept just in case they were needed by my pet sitter whilst I was...

Bunnies generally don’t like being picked up. None of my buns enjoy being picked up and all but 2 of them find it very stressful. One of my foster girls gets extremely agitated by it and it makes her scared of me, so I do not do it unless it it absolutely necessary. I trim my bunnies’...

I have one bunny who happily hops in a carrier so I can put her on the counter, but then I have a 45 min performance doing her nails because she hates it so much. Just as I’m about to press the clipper down, she snatches her paw away (and it’s not because she can feel it, I took her to an awful...

Pleasure! Always good to have some baby gas drops handy just in case as well 😊

Fantastic news! 😃

Once one of my buns wouldn’t eat a thing. After 45 mins of massaging, I started calling around vets to see if I could find one available. She then sat in her litter box and did the equivalent of half a day’s poops in one go. Totally fine after that. So she wasn’t sick, she just needed a giant...

Oh that’s great news! Eating and pooping is always good 😊

If it’s been more than 8 hours, I would get him to a rabbit savvy vet as soon as you can as it could be stasis. In the meantime, he may have gas, so try massaging his tummy gently and give 1ml simethicone (baby gas drops) per hour Keep up with the massaging and offer fresh herbs or his other...

When was the last time he ate anything?

So possibly a little soon after Lady’s spay, but her and Rufus have always been besties and tried to snuggle through the bars, so I thought I would see how they got on sharing a space. A little chasing to start with, but nothing aggressive and they are the happiest I have seen them 🥰. They...

I have to say, she has become a bit of a slob 😂. I get the occasional binky, but she doesn’t go off exploring with the same enthusiasm as she used to.

Hi All I’ve not weighed her yet (because I need to buy suitable scales), but one of my buns, Gigi, is looking and feeling noticeably fuller than she was a few months ago. I have not changed her diet at all and if anything she is eating less pellets than before. My other bun does not appear...

My day… trying to prevent one foster bun from deleting all my emails. And another from submerging himself in a bucket of water. My laptop is her favourite snuggle spot 🥰 (please don’t pee 🙏)

Great news!

I had my bun spayed on Monday and her appetite didn’t really return until Tuesday evening. I managed to get a little hay and herbs into her every hour. It wasn’t much, but enough to keep things moving and I was able to avoid syringe feeding. I found gently brushing her nose with the food...

In addition to the simethicone, try massage as well: I had a bun who was regularly gassy for several weeks until I sorted her diet out. She hated the gas drops and would get very stressed, so the belly rubs would sometimes do the trick instead. Need to be patient with it though, it takes a...

They’re so creepy!
