My rabbits both have sore hocks because they were on concrete floor. (Not anymore, of course.) They appeared as angry red bald spots on the very corner of their heels, hardly visible without pushing the fur away. But I caught them early; if they worsened, they would eventually form crusty...

Then does PR mean pulse rate? I only know it was heartbeats per minute because I remember her measuring it with her watch and my dad (who was kind enough to drive me to the AEC so I could focus on keeping him calm) was totally shocked by the number (an exercising human is about 100 beats per...

Yup, this has probably been going for a while and I never noticed :/ I was watching him today as he did his mouthing thing with the hay, and I've come to the conclusion there's no way I could have noticed without physically peeling his lips back to take a look--he never shows enough of his...

I just got back from a panicked run to the Animal Emergency Clinic. At 8:10 PM today, I heard a troubling "KWAAKK" noise. It sounded like a harsher version of a cat with a hair ball, and a whole lot similar to a Daffy Duck quack. In other words, the sound of someone trying to expel something...

I don't know if this is a problem but it is a sudden change in behaviour, which should always be monitored carefully, and since I don't want to be running to the vet over something that seems pretty harmless I figured I'd ask public opinion. If it's not a problem, it's damn cute and should...

TLDR: A chew treat my rabbits adore recently vanished, and today I found something similar, except it's labelled as a bird treat, not a small animal treat. Is it still safe? eCOTRiTiON SNAK SHAK (manufactured by 8 in 1) makes a couple of things, all made from the same edible brown chew material...

I have learned how to prepare a pineapple. Sometimes I just look at a food and wonder what on earth possessed someone to stick such a thing in their mouths in order to discover that it was edible. Avocados are one of those foods. Pineapples are now another. But Lahi seems to love it so looks...

So Lahi's doing great. His poo on Sunday was unusually small and misshapen, but it was there and there was a fair amount of it. By Monday it was completely back to normal, so I didn't end up bringing him to the vet to check for diarrhea. I'm continuing to take pictures of it every day though...

Right so I just got back from the vet, and he was very impressed with how I managed... He gave Lahi a thorough go over, didn't feel any blockages or hair balls, his breathing was clear and his stomach wasn't gurgling anymore. The bumps I'd felt are now only in a small line along the centre of...

His stomach is still gurgling like mad but he just walked over to the food dish and started eating. *sags in relief* Excuse me while I go pass out for an hour. I'll check his progress at 8 and ask my vet if he should still be brought in, but it's looking likely that we're gonna be okay.

NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE POO IN MY LIFE His stomach is still gurgling, and though I still feel bumps I don't feel as many. They seem to have moved down. Damn the gurgling delayed my nap and now that I feel like I'm definitely helping him zero sleep will be had today. Meanwhile poor...

6:00 am, he ate a bite and a half of oat groat, and suddenly his stomach started gurgling so loud I could hear it across the room. I massaged his stomach and found that I could feel a few bumps I don't think I could before. He really hates the gurgling too: one particularly loud gurgle he...

Oh god we're back, this time with GI stasis (probably). Making a new thread. http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?p=1048063

So I went in to give my bunnies food as I always do, and Delilah immediately ran up to hover over me and demand I pour faster, and Lahi... didn't. He wouldn't move, wasn't interested in the food at all, and kept lying down. I offered him oat groat, he took roughly half a mouthful... and refused...

Yeah actually that was really weird for me, when I was first looking for them, in Walmart when I couldn't find them in shelving I asked a sales associate. He told me that they were a relatively small store, and don't carry everything, so he looked it up on their online catalogue for me. And he...

If you're getting a dwarf, don't go getting it from a pet store. A) because of the reasons you should never get any pet from a pet store, and B) they often lie. Rarely is a dwarf at a pet store really a dwarf. I got Picca and Lahi from a pet store (7 years ago, I was ignorant) and they were...

Especially if you're in the US you can always try Amazon.com I found several there but they were gonna charge me $50 to get across the border. WHAT HAPPENED TO NAFTA?!

If you're in Canada, like I said I know Dollarama sells them. But I also recently found some in Walmart, in the storage aisle. I'd looked for them previously in the shelving aisle, but didn't find any. Then I went into the storage aisle to get a clear bin to DIY into an enclosed litter box, and...

But in the case of your poor carpet and chair, I've found that once they start knawing on something it's nearly impossible to make them stop. The only solution for me is to give them something they CAN chew on. The edge of the one carpet that's been chewed now has boxes of pop cans sitting on...

It does depend on the rabbit... My one rabbit loves to toss and push things, so she gets toilet paper rolls, baby toys, balls with bells in them, etc etc. Another rabbit I had, though, wasn't much interested in tossing things, but she would obsessively destroy things. I would give her a...
