So glad your bunny has made it past surgery and seems to be recovering! One thing I’ve found that works for me is plucking the bun’s fur out by hand with a regular fan going in a direction where it takes the fur and makes it fly away after being plucked. In other words being sideways to the...

Sorry for your loss😞

Unfortunately none of the cages you are looking at would be suitable for housing a bunny outdoors. If you plan to house one outdoors, it would be best to make an outdoor enclosure. The bunny would probably need insulation in a proper hutch, room in the hutch to move around a lot, a...

Nice idea, hope it works well for someone on the forum! Not an option for me though my bun needs his nontip, heavy, glossy ceramic (so he can't get a proper bite grip on it) bowl. I know my bun would try to knock the auto dispenser over and he'd probably be successful at doing it. He may only...

What do you mean by “empty the toilet”? Does he dig all the litter out. Or literally tip the whole box over on the floor? In either scenario I think you probably need to buy a bigger (heavier) high sided litter box to solve the issue~ Explaining things sadly doesn’t work for buns but if digging...

Your other bunny is getting sick too?😭

Even when my bun had a broken jaw, my vet very carefully used that scope @JBun described to look in his mouth while he was conscious. She bunny burritoed him and kind of angled it to look in so he didn’t chew on it. At my last appointment she even had the intern using it on him for practice (his...

Looks like it might be a tooth fragment to me but I’m no expert... @JBun?

Thought I’d give a final update. Min-Min had a check up appointment this past Tuesday for another teeth/jaw check, this was five months from last appointment (appointment checks have been lengthening month-wise, first every month, then 3 months, then five). My vet actually had a vet intern try...

Glad you finally got a response!

They seem so unresponsive that I personally wouldn’t trust them to do the surgery, not at this point 😓 I don’t know if you had time to read the articles or past members experiences yet with thymoma treatment from @JBun’s link, but one past member opted to just use the steroid. Her bun was 7 and...

Maybe you could make an edible wood tree using balsa wood. According to the internet it’s a bunny safe soft wood. I know from experience you can easily sink a fingernail into, cut it with a razor blade or tiny Japanese hand saw (even a serrated kitchen knife), and you can probably easily get...

If you don’t hear anything tomorrow, I’d just go by @JBun’s dosage since it’s probably a safe amount. I can’t understand how they gave you the medicine without the dosage honestly😓

In my opinion, a possible seven months to a year more of being symptom free is really encouraging. If you go that route, I hope the steroid works miracles and gives her even more time. With the vaccines, I guess it would depend on how how prevalent RHD2 virus and other one is in your area...

That’s definitely a tough situation. I guess you have to balance the options How long would your rabbit have if you just used the home remedy? Would she have years or just a few months if you only used the steroid? Does the steroid reduce the symptoms so she’s fairly pain free and comfortable...

Would decreasing the size i.e. the radiation therapy, make the thymoma eligible for surgery?

Has your bunny been spayed yet? You said you have many bunnies from an extremely young age so my guess is she has gotten old enough for her hormones to kick in, coupled with moving house, and assuming your other buns are also with you she has become very territorial and aggressive. If all your...

If I were in your situation, I would go through with having the teeth spurs filed down despite possible risks... it’s way better than the alternative and your bun may live quite a few more years more. I don’t talk about what happened with my first bunny Bandit much but he didn’t pass in the...

Does he flinch when you hold his paw? Does his finger feel swollen or the area around it?

So looked on google for flowers that looked like that. I think that’s a Japanese anemone flower. According to google wild rabbits (and deer) generally stay away from it because it has a fragrance they find unappealing. It’s also a good thing they don’t want to eat it, because apparently anemone...
