She is so cute I love her! For my one rabbit we have this food bin that attaches to the bars of her cage so she can’t flip it. If she doesn’t have a cage maybe buy a smaller one to keep her food in if you want to use a bin. I use water bottles for my one and the other doesn’t flip her dish but...

Thanks! Until the new pellets get here, what should I do about the pellets that are bad for her? Just stop giving it to her, reduce the amount or continue giving the same amount to her?

Thanks I’ll have to give this a try. Did you slowly introduce the Timothy pellets or since he wasn’t eating them just give him them one day?

So if I’m clear, I should be looking for a food with more fiber, less calcium and doesn’t contain alfalfa? I can’t really reduce the pellet intake as she doesn’t really eat much of them anyways. But if she doesn’t eat pellets, all she can eat is hay as she can’t have greens. Is there anything...

I see her do this sometimes.

Hers are mostly like juvenile poop (which is weird because she’s 4.. but she’s unspayed maybe that has to do with it?) and sometimes I see poop ornaments maybe once a week. She possibly has the cecotropes I’m pretty sure they’re more smooshy and she sits on her poop and we see smooshed poop at...

We tried Kaytee but I’ll be looking into different brands later. I suppose I can’t do the herbs then since she can’t have greens anymore (which I don’t understand but I wasn’t allowed in the vet due to covid so I can’t really ask questions). I’m glad your rabbit was the same way at first. My...

Ok thanks I’ll look into the other brands. I’m sorry what are cecotropes? Thanks so much for replying. Do you know of anyways to make pellets more appealing to her because I’m nervous she won’t be getting enough to eat if she doesn’t eat them. But at the same time I don’t want to cut out hay...

That’s a good idea! Do herbs count as greens or no?

This is Snowball, the one making the noises which sounded like a wheeze but actually was a squeak/grunt caused by her kidney stone. She is a 4 year old (not spayed due to a heart murmur) lion head rabbit, she weighs 5lbs (2.27 kg). The pellets we were feeding her are called Blue seal Bunny 16...

So my one rabbit has kidney stones we found out today. We took her to a rabbit savvy vet and there’s no more luckily. But the vet said no more greens for her including romaine lettuce which we feed as her evening meal. I already feed her the maximum amount of pellets for her weight... but...

Thanks! The vet fit her in and she’s ok now.

Maybe try making a pellet mash (I don’t have the exact recipe for it but you can look it up) on top of the spinach or any fruit or treats she likes so that when she eats the stuff she likes, she’s also getting pellets or if needed syringe feed her it. As for the hay, try using it as her bedding...

If it’s coming from the tear duct like it is, consider getting her tear duct flushed. Also get her teeth checked as this could be the issue. It could be allergies as it’s coming from both eyes but I’m not positive. Also they can do this dye thing to see if it’s a problem with the cornea or...

That’s great I’m so glad she’s ok! Good luck working with her attitude. I have one similar (she nips, digs and nudges you hard if you get in her way lol) but she’ll eat anything you put in front of her.

I have experienced this with my rabbit Snowball. This could be caused by GI stasis which is really seriously if not treated. I’d call more exotic vets and make an appointment with one of them. Until the appointment, continue feeding her what she’ll eat (it’s a good sign that she’s eating...

My 4ish year old female rabbit, Snowball, is making a weird noise and is lethargic (won’t come out of her cage and when she does she hops back in). The noise is sort of a squeak or a wheeze not sure how to describe it more. She tenses up and makes the noise then lays down. She has an irregular...
