Instead of trying to stop your bunny from digging and destroying things, try diverting by giving your bun things that are more ‘fun’ to rip and destroy. I sometimes give my bunny one or two paper towel sheets. He digs at it a bit but loves ripping it apart with his teeth even more. For his...

You may need to take him to the vet again to see if they can help. I was hoping his jaw would heal fast enough where he could start eating hay again to grind his teeth down but it seems like that scenario isn’t happening 😞

Was he checked for parasites?

The first time he hid there, it took me 15-20 minutes to find him. This time was actually easier because with the hot weather he’s always close by to his fan in that corner area. Now I think he’s hiding in the train bell because inside felt about 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the room (put...

What secret places do your bunnies like to hide? I was looking for Min-Min today and discovered he found another place😅

I’m sort of wondering if he’s deaf and blind from your description. I have heard some animals born with different colored eyes are sometimes blind, don’t know if that also goes for bunnies. But definitely try the hearing test @Preitler mentioned to see if he is just a really chill bunny...

Another New Hampshire person, hello! For my netherland dwarf Minyeong (Min-Min for short), we started him off in a dog kennel to litter train too. When he got older, we just kept the kennel open all the time as his home base (food and litter area). He has free range of the entire showroom (it’s...

He actually looks thinner to me in this photo compared to your last photos of him. I second Blue Eyes advice on taking him to the vet.

That photo looks a lot like one of the breaks in my bunny’s jaw. Essentially the lower incisors split apart which is why one looks more forward now. I’ve drawn a circle to show where it is so you can see. My rabbit was able to heal despite that break and the bone actually healed so his teeth...

Thanks for your concern and advice @FunBunMom and @cwebster. I forgot to give an update. At this point, I’m happy to report Min-Min has pretty much completely recovered from his broken jaw. His upper teeth are slightly overworn and lower front teeth are a bit long but they’ve stayed the same...

Gabapentin does work as a pain med but just be aware may make your bunny seem very tired and listless. When my bunny was on it he pretty much sat in the same place unless we physically moved him or it was close to wearing off. He seemed to have no energy while on it so we just decided to go with...

Pooping is definitely a good sign even if he isn’t doing a lot! As long as you’re being extremely gentle and he’s eating the food off your finger, at least thats way for you to get food into him, though if you can manage to use the syringe that would be even better. If you do use the syringe...

My bun had a broken jaw too. It took him between one to two months to heal enough to eat normally

If you have any hay that he ate before his accident, maybe you could cut it into .5-1 centimeter long segments to see if he could eat it. You can hand feed hay segments to see if he can eat them. The important thing is to make sure he’s eating at least enough where he can poop. I’m also...

Can you get oxbow critical care shipped to you? If you can, you might be able to syringe feed it to him so he’s getting more in his stomach

My advice would definitely be to insist that your vet to prescribe meloxicam or some other type of pain killer. When my bun didn’t have pain meds, he tried to eat but couldn’t very much because it was extremely painful. At that time, he could eat a bit of apple but had a much harder time eating...

@Elahenajafi, here is a link for what happened with my bun. He has since made a full recovery https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/pain-medicine.103486/

Making new thread for a new member whose bunny has a broken jaw. They need advise and help @Elahenajafi

When my bunny needed critical care (he had a broken jaw that was healing) the vet gave him apple-banana flavored. Min-Min absolutely hated it and repeatedly struggled and spit it out. A friend ended up dropping off papaya flavored critical care and he liked that one a lot better (at first just...

Honestly, if I were in your situation, I’d just save your money for the future rather than send it to the insurance company. If it’s your money, you aren’t held to the constraints that the policy says like medical conditions they won’t cover or will only partially cover. My family has had bad...
