I'm reading a lot about GI Stasis. Will every rabbit experience GI Stasis at some point? It's scaring me and making me paranoid. Freya only ate a few of her pellets this morning, instead opting for exploration. She seems to have devoured a great deal of hay overnight. I'm finding myself checking...

Ah, it's small dots. It looks like a jailhouse tattoo. Darn. I guess it gives her another element of uniqueness. I'm grateful that they sold her to me and I don't want to trash on the people, but I have a hard time respecting people who breed any animal for profit and/or use them as show...

I forgot to ask; what did those people do to her ear? It's tagged or something. Is this permanent?

Practicing our hay eating

Right now she's bonding with my oldest. She's doing a good job of keeping poop mostly isolated to one area of the cage. I removed the bottle because, even though it was only a secondary water source, I read that it can collect bacteria and make her sick. I also removed the hay rack and put the...

About the noise: I didn't know how to describe it, so the words I chose were squeak and squeal. This is not what she was doing! I researched and it was honking.

Morning and afternoon update: This morning I got up to find her sitting on the platform near the water dish, motionless. I take it she was sleeping. I added a big handful of hay to the other side and she perked up, came over, and started eating it. I let her be. A few minutes ago, this...

Some updates before bed: She is a new rabbit already. She's already becoming more adventurous since I posted this thread. She's not having the insane freak outs anymore. At most she occasionally goes stiff and becomes watchful. She might run off a couple of paces and then turn around to watch...

Hi! Quick comment on the food and poop while I digest your whole post. She's eating the pellets really well. She quite the pig for them. Her poop has maintained it's small ball form and isn't mushy as of now, and she's had lots and lots of it. That's a relief! This is her food...

Thank you! I'll certainly take time to digest all of this. Right away I'll say: She is at the 1/8-1/4 cup of pellets. She's eating a lot of them. I need to try to "spice up" the hay for her though. She's not that big of a fan yet. And right away I'll ask: is the cage really too small? Keep in...

I'm a first time bunny owner. I've dealt with dogs and cats all my life, and shockingly to some, rats. I've probably had a dozen rats since I was a teenager, but none currently. In researching and buying supplies for our bunny, and learning at least a little bit about them, they're surprisingly...
