She gets 2 cups of leafy greens (Romaine Lettuce and Dandelion Greens) and 1/4 cup of Alfalfa Pellets per day. Along with unlimited Timothy Hay and Orchard Hay. She won't eat fresh fruit. We've tried just about everything, but she's a simple girl and likes her veggies, hay, and pellets. That...

The Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit Alfalfa Pellets my 5 month old rabbit eats says to feed in unlimited quantities until a year old. A handout the vet gave us recommend this very food with the same "until one year old" instructions, and then other Oxbow foods for adult rabbits. The internet and...

This is going to sound like the dumbest thing ever, but what do you mean by broken? Not completely Siamese?

21 years ago my brother and I stumbled upon some baby cottontails on the walk home from school. In the innocence and stupidity of our youth, we gathered them up and took them home. Mom was naturally upset. For one, we brought wild animals into the house, and for two, she was upset that they...

The glove was after her symptoms began. It could be any number of things. Her diet is basically perfect, and the vet said so herself. Unlimited Timothy Hay, Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit Alfalfa Pellets @ 1/8-1/4 cup per day, and 1-2 cups of Romaine Lettuce and Dandelion Greens per day. So she...

Clearly the sedation was still in effect and helpful for us to administer medicine on our own at home. This morning she was full of energy and ran from us and thumped her leg off as we were trying to pick her up to hold her to give her medicine. I finally got hold of her and she nipped me pretty...

They are. Fortunately we were prepared for it as animal people and with financial stability. Being an animal person and a researcher, I've been able to learn a lot quickly and give her the best life that we can and probably the best life she would have gotten. This is kind of tough. On the one...

Funny enough, just last week I did this barefoot (walking to the back edge of my property to dump the box) and stepped on a bumblebee and got stung. My $50 fair show rabbit bought on a whim at the behest of my kids has turned into $600 of supplies and an $800 vet bill and a bee sting in just a...

I use Aspen bedding and then a small layer of hay on top (and a big eating pile on one side along with a hay manger full of hay over the litter box). Being all biodegradable, I take it to the edge of my jungle property in the way, way back and just dump it.

The vet said they were picking up and handling Freya with ease. Of course I know this to be unusual because while she loves to be pet, loves to groom us, and flops on her side and back next to us for rubs, she's like most rabbits and doesn't like to be picked up. I asked the vet, "was she...

Ha, probably not. We were at Petland today to see if they had some hay mats to create a hay flooring of sorts to make absolutely sure she never ingests carpet to avoid such problems in the future and we almost bought an Australian Shepherd until they said $8,000 (they're insane)!

4 children, a dozen rats, 4 dogs, and 30+ cats later (and now a rabbit), that intuition is strong!

Cisapride prokinetic is what she's on

In the month(ish) that we've had her I've gotten to know her very well, and I'm glad that I followed my instincts on this one. Her blood work came back excellent and her x-rays showed not true obstruction, but it did reveal a lot of food residue and she's got a slow moving gut. The doctor has...

We're taking her in at 9am tomorrow. She seems weird. She recently ate a handful of hay and didn't poop while she was doing it or since. My son and fiance caught her having some sort of sneezing or coughing fit for about 15-30 seconds. She's not her lively self. She'll have moments of mischief...

I don't know if she loves or hates those gloves. I use them to clean up her poop around the room and to freshen her litter box. When she's free roaming and I'm on my hands and knees cleaning up the poop she literally chases my hands and tries to nip at the gloves. She only does that when the...

I woke up this morning and was panicked to see no poop in her litter box. But then I noticed a dozen or more droppings on her towel, and moved some hay aside in her litter box to find buried poop. I also noticed that she ate a lot of hay last night. I fed her breakfast (1 cup leafy greens and 1...

She's a bunny that likes to poop absolutely everywhere in her room. She's only 5 months old and we haven't even had her a month yet. Today I changed her litter box that she primarily uses for peeing and cleaned up all the droppings in the room. This was 4 hours ago. There isn't a single dropping...

She's a Mini Satin. We're in a completely different place than we were 3 weeks ago when I created this thread. She very quickly bonded with us (especially me 😝 ) shortly afterwards. She's a little piggie, loves to play and be pet, a binky queen, full of energy. Her favorite thing is grooming...
