It has been so long since I had a rabbit with calcium problems, I forgot that the sludge was in the urine, not the poop. Pee normally has some calcium in it, so if your rabbit urinates on his poop and it dries, it is possible to see a little white chalk. If the white is like mucous, check for...

I buy Oxbow Meadow Grass Hay for my rabbits and I have never found alfalfa in it. I have found alfalfa in grass hay that I bought at a farm supply store. A little alfalfa should not be a problem. When alfalfa is added to hay, my rabbits would put on too much weight. When I have an elderly rabbit...

I am so happy for you! That is great news.

Very Beautiful! Congratulations!

I use utility mats. The ones I use are rubber or non-slip vinyl. The top is short carpet like, but is not woven, it looks like it is embed in the rubber. My rabbits can try to dig, but they can't destroy it. They can try to destroy it by taking little bites off of the edges, but these are the...

Strangely, my NF never stopped eating. He was crabby, and if I paid enough attention, I could have seen that he was only chewing on one side of his mouth. My lop mix stopped eating when he had teeth problems. I syringe fed him a little bit every few hour until he was eating on his own. I don't...

That is a problem I have had to deal with before. Once some teeth are gone, the remaining teeth might spread out and get out of alignment. Then he may have to go in about every 3 months for teeth trims. Some vets just grind the molars down and sometimes that gives some relief. That is what I am...

I you can find another vet that works on exotics in your area, you can get a second opinion. Maybe you need a vet that can look at the situation through different eyes.

I had one rabbit that had a poopy butt when I got him. I changed his diet to a higher quality pellet food, and threw away all the store bought treats that came with him and the problem went away. I have another rabbit that gets poopy butt when he eats a lot of greens. I now give him the same...

I had a six pound mix breed that would lunge and bite if I put my hand in her cage. I had her spayed and she stopped the aggressive behavior. She was about six months old when she was spayed. I don't think that spaying or neutering always works to stop aggression, but sometimes it does.

Yes, Thymoma causes breathing problems, but it wasn't the only cause. Harley had been struggling with a snotty nose and sneezing for a couple of years. I would take him to a vet and he would be given antibiotics. The sinus problems would clear up and then come back again. Then he got more...

Dose is 10 drops per gallon of water for 21 days. I found GSE at a store called Fresh Thyme. This helped my rabbit, but I did end up putting him to sleep. I took Harley to a more experienced vet and he was diagnosed with Thymoma.

My Netherland Dwarf has dental problems, but his problems did not start until he was 7 years old. I have a lop mix breed which I believe is a dwarf. He just started having dental problems at the age of three. Are dental problems typical of dwarf breeds? I used to have 6 standard satin rabbits...

I have a Netherland Dwarf and if I were to compare rabbit breeds to dog breeds, I would say that he has the personality of a chihuahua. He is very feisty. With people he doesn't know, he shows cage aggression. I talk to him before I pick him up. Then I pet him and he willingly lets me pick him...

How old are your rabbit? How many do you have? Are they all in the same cage? Do you know the *** of your rabbits?

So sorry for your loss.

Could you post some pictures of her messy cage? What kind of litter and litter box do you use?

Did you check to see if he lost a toe nail?

I use heavy utility mats that I buy at Menards. They are made of heavy rubber, and they have short fiber carpeting. The only place my rabbits can destroy them is if the rabbits decide to chew on the edge. When I want to wash them, I lay them in my drive way and use a brush and a hose. A brand...
