    Help - alternative to hay?

    Just wanted to update this thread incase anyone from the UK finds it helpful; I ordered some hay pellets from Wild About Bunnies - they have loads of different flavours with only hay and the flavour added - I've given my two their Fruit Leaf Timothy Hay Pellets to try and they love them 😍...

    False pregnancy in spayed bun?

    Ahhh okay, I did think it could be because it's spring but I thought it was weird behaviour seeing as she's spayed. At least she's not the only little oddball 😅

    False pregnancy in spayed bun?

    Hi, My bunny Maple has recently had GI stasis and is still only nibbling at her hay, but she's begun to gather clumps of it and carry it around in her mouth - I'm wondering if she's nesting? She's 8½ months old and was spayed 5 months ago but I don't know if it's still possible for her to have...

    Help - alternative to hay?

    She ended up eating it, she just waited half an hour before deciding to give it a go! 😅

    Help - alternative to hay?

    Very strange! She definitely loves dandelions - although she has never had fresh ones before 🤷‍♀️ maybe she'll try it later and realise she likes it

    Help - alternative to hay?

    Great, thank you so much!! I'll take a look and hopefully I'll find something that she'll eat! I've just tried to give her fresh grass with some fresh dandelion leaves and she's just ignoring them at the moment.... :/ Her brother has eaten his portion so I don't know why she isn't interested.

    Help - alternative to hay?

    Unfortunately I'm extremely allergic to readigrass - I've tried giving them it before and I feel my throat start to burn as soon as I open the bag. Saying that, I do know there are different types so I could look for Timothy as the hay doesn't seem to affect me. I could have a look for hay...

    Help - alternative to hay?

    I think I'll get her a small amount of grass tomorrow if I can. I've tried giving them hay cookies before and they're not very impressed by them! At least the ones in stores. I've seen ones that independent sellers have made which are much much more compressed, and she has accepted those before...

    Help - alternative to hay?

    Hi, so normally my bunnies eat Timothy hay, but Maple (female, 8 months old) went into gut stasis last week (unknown cause - teeth are fine), and since then I can't get her to eat hay. She'll have a slight nibble on some alfalfa, but she's only really eating fresh food, dried flowers and excel...

    DIY pillow?

    This sounds like a good idea, then I wouldn't have to worry about him eating any thread

    Syringe Feeding Tips

    There are loads of poos this morning! 🎉 And she's even nibbling on hay which is great. She was extremely excited about dill leaves and basil, and was clambering all over me to get them. She lay down next to me for me to pet her which she hasn't done for days too so I'm hopeful she's on the mend...

    Eating cecotropes later?

    Quite possibly!

    Eating cecotropes later?

    I've started pointing out the cecotropes he's leaving behind to him, and he comes up to see what it is, stiffs them and immediately eats them 🤷🏼‍♀️ seems like he's just a bit of an ***** bless him 🤣

    Syringe Feeding Tips

    Thank you, she refused anise last time so now she has apple and banana and I've managed to get maybe two mouthfuls in her (not great but better than nothing). She's happily munching up dill leaves and she's had a small piece of apple though so I'm taking that as a good sign and I'm going to go...

    Syringe Feeding Tips

    Hi, I'm looking for tips on syringe feeding bunnies - my vet recommended wrapping them in a towel and holding them tight so they can't get away, but I'm really struggling to get anything into Maple - she throws her head back when she feels the syringe on her lips and she kicks until she escapes...

    DIY pillow?

    I might try making one and filling it with torn up fabric, if I pack it in tight then it should be quite a hard surface I guess

    He is ridiculous 😂 and very handsome 🥰

    DIY pillow?

    Hi, I'm wondering about making a pillow for Ash because he loves to nap with his head resting on his water bowl.... which is fine, but it means his whiskers get wet and the water gets hairy! Ash's current sleeping arrangements; I have fleece and cotton which I could make something out of, but...

    Eating cecotropes later?

    Okay, I think he does generally eat them all, he just leaves them for a while sometimes before going back to them. Sometimes I pick them up and offer them to him and he'll eat them - I don't know if he just forgets. He's 8 months old and he's definitely not overweight - he's 1.5kg and he's a...

    Eating cecotropes later?

    Weird question, but is it normal for some rabbits to leave piles of cecotropes and then go back to eat them 1-25 minutes later? My bunny Ash does this whereas Maple eats them straight from her bum ever time. It's slightly annoying bc I'll find droppings outside his litter box and not know...
