I have not experienced this with neutering my boys, I am so so sorry for your loss 🥺😥. Although I have not experienced this in particular, the overall theme of "knowing your vet" hits hard for me, as I almost lost Dr. Cheese after only having him under 6 months after adopting him so I do...

I have never had a female bun before so I am not as familiar with that area of expertise, but I have experienced my fair share of urine scares where they appeared abnormal out of no where or discolored, but majority of the time in my experience it was a slight diet change or even change in...

Going off of Blue Eyes' comment about biting and nibbling being very different, to what extent are you being bitten/nibbled? It sounds like your bun could be attempting to show affection if this happens after a long petting session. A little nip or pull on clothing can be a sign that they are...

I understand your concern, but I would say listen to your vet. Main signs of concern are not drinking, eating, pooping, or peeing. If she is doing these things and not bleeding consistently and the vet is aware, she should be okay until the morning visit. Good luck, keeping my hopes high!

Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been away for a bit, I've had a lot of personal things going on. Dr. Cheese is doing very well lately and I have been wanting to start doing tricks with him on top of getting him to be more comfortable with me holding him. The handling is something I will be working on...

Hi there! I also live with GAD and Depression, and have almost my whole life. I've seen multiple different therapists over the years and am happy to share tips and help in any way I can. One thing to start, is my bun Dr. Cheese is actually my emotional support animal. My therapist signed off on...

Agreed, also clean up any urine that is not in the litter box to prevent their scent from encouraging repeat accidents. Also, how do you go about feeding your buns? If a bun is eating, they're going to poop. Try to restrict all feeding to near/in the litter box (at least for a while, if you...

Scientifically, I don't have much information other than the House Rabbit Society which I have attached below, and I think covid is too new of a condition to know its impact on rabbits for certain. In my experience, I had covid and had to quarantine in the same room as my bun. I still pet him...

Yeah, and Cheese is definitely treat motivated so training with him is painless. What's funny is I actually didn't name him! I adopted him from a shelter in Chicago 😂, but how could I change a name like Dr. Cheese especially being in Wisconsin 😂.Those cheese stops are so worth a visit for sure...

I love that! I've only had Dr. Cheese the last few months and he's already over a year old, but I've been trying to teach him some phrases. Everyday when I let him out of his playpen I say "Do you want to come out?" and whenever I get him more hay I say "Hay?". I've also used a little finger...

I'm still slowly introducing this new treat for Dr. Cheese by Sweet Meadow Farm. He has somewhat of a sensitive tum so he's on an all hay diet and hesitant to try fruits until I get him successfully on some other veggie/leafy treats. Currently has been good with Romaine lettuce which he FLIPS...

I get what you mean with the pee pads, however the way I have it set up is VERY secure, I have no worries of it slipping or anything. It's basically wrapped around the solid base of the carrier. That being said, I will still be providing a towel to add extra security for both urine as well as...

I would definitely have my AC goin, I do not do well in heat myself, so the AC will already be blasting 😂 . That being said, thank you so much for the lettuce idea, I was prepared to have a water bottle for him, but given his stress he may not have the interest compared to a lettuce leaf! I will...

Yeah that was my main concern with the jolting of the car, but I figured I'd see what others thought. Thanks! I think I will stop halfway to try and get him some food/water. I do have a puppy pad set up in his carrier for accidents so that isnt my main concern. I just want to make it as safe and...

I was also thinking of an option of transporting him in his actual cage so he can use the bathroom, have hay and water (I would temporarily get him a water bottle so it doesn't spill everywhere) but safety for him is also my priority. Thoughts?

Hi everyone! In a few weeks Dr. Cheese and I are moving out of state. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive. He's always been good with car rides, but the longest he has had to endure is an hour. I've already worked with him on getting used to his carrier and generally I leave it out when he free roams...

My last bun was a blue dutch, they are just the sweetest most docile lil guys 🥺. So happy you are joining the forum before even adopting/purchasing, it really shows how invested you are in giving the best home for your new friend! Look forward to hearing more about your new addition, and welcome...

Aw what a cute bun!

I haven't experienced the dust with Carefresh, but good to know with the pellet vs shavings. Thanks! I don't want to do a whole lot of change for Cheese since he's already gone through 4 foster homes in his young life, but I'm always looking to learn more for advice to other owners and future...

My bun has had problems with his cecotropes and due to this I am extra attentive to his poops. It is totally normal to have a few poops smaller here and there. Like @JBun said above, if it becomes a consistent issue or they continue to get smaller consistently then there could be blockage or...
