Perhaps you got some liver flavoured or other meat flavoured metacam for dogs/cats. You can get a honey flavoured metacam that bunnies love. I don't even have to take the buns out of their cages to give it to them, I can feed it to them through the cage bars. They think it's the best...

I have one rabbit that will make those types of noises all the time. If I am not quick enough to feed her in the morning or I pluck her cactus bum when she's shedding. She sounds like a very angry clucking chicken or she makes little squeals. Some rabbits are just very talkative and will...

"de" is correct, I was also in French Immersion, but it's been a long time for me too :P I believe d' is only used as an abbreviation for words that start with a vowel. Since To starts with a consonant, you use the full "de". -Dawn

I have some 14% Otter Coop pellets that I feed my buns. If you want a bag to try out with Gus, let me know. I don't remember all the fat and fibre values, but from my memory it is better than most other local feed store pellets. To get this one at the Pitt Meadows coop, you have to special...

I think Revolution is one of the best treatments for worms, mites and parasites. As far as I understand, one of the safest. I have one extra dose of kitten revolution for a 3kg animal. You can have it if it will help. I bought a pack of three from Dr. Martinez for Baxter's mites and gave...

To clean soap scum from your bath tub, make a mixture of dish soap and baking soda. It works so well that I stopped using the store bought chemical cleaners years ago :) -Dawn

At the moment, I would give lots of fresh water and hay. Carrots are high in sugar and when given in large amounts or to rabbits not used to them, can give them loose stools. If it was the carrots that upset her stomach, then it should go away if you feed her hay and water for a day...

Bump!!! Would really like some other opinions on this thead! -Dawn

To me, personally, it does not look infected. But I don't have a lot of experience with this, so I'm going to ask for the breeders to chime in! -Dawn

That is fine. Having different heights in the cage is perfectly okay, it only becomes a problem when there is no space at all for the bunny to stand up in. My buns like to sit under the shelves and use the space as a hidey spot. -Dawn

I moved this over to the rabbitry area for you so that more breeders will see this and be able to help you. Is it possible for you to take a picture of the teat you suspect as being infected? I remember I had one doe that when she was nursing, her teats would get very firm close to feeding...

Unfortunately babies die and there really is nothing you can do about it. Most likely they had under developed digestive systems or something else wrong internally. I would definitely give the little babies an extra feeding with mom. You can take the big babies out of the nest, put them in...

If worms are suspected, I would use a deworming product asap. Many times you will not see any signs of worms in a fecal exam. Revolution is very safe and easy to give, use the kitten vials. Your vet should be able to provide you with some. I'm not sure why the antibiotics where prescribed...

I had a trio of two males and a female and it worked very nicely. Unfortunately, the female died about 4 months after the bond, but the two boys continued to live together for well over a year until one passed away. It really depends on the rabbits' personalities. I have found that sex is...

I know here, the temperature has jumped very quickly. When rabbits get over heated, their mouths and noses get wet as they try to cool down. If it is quite warm, I would try cooling the rabbit using fans, frozen water bottles and dampening the ears. I don't know if this would cause...

If they are dwarf rabbits, males can mature sexually as early as 9 weeks. With the little girl being 8 weeks old, she is too young to get pregnant. But I would separate them when she is about 10 weeks old just to be safe. The smaller the rabbit, the sooner they mature sexually and it is...

It is possible to not have a runt or that the runt will be not much smaller than the siblings. Was the father together with the mother at the time of the birth? If so, then mom is probably pregnant again and she will have another litter when these babies are 4 weeks old. You can (and...

Before putting rabbits in the cage, you could line the wooden part with linoleum. I have wooden bottoms with lino glued down in my cages, and it works wonderfully. Vinegar works very well for cleaning up bunny pee. -Dawn

Yes, move the babies. Check to make sure they are all alive and un-injured and that there are no placentas left in with them. Make a nest if she has not already made one from hay. Stuff a box (shoe box, dish bin, clean litter box) with hay until it is fairly tightly compacted, and make a...

Can you get a picture of the sores? When ever I hear about sores on noses, the first thing I think of is rabbit syphilis. Which is curable by penicillin injections (and it is not the same thing as human syphilis). It causes scabs on the face (nose/lips/eyes) and on the genitals. Does he...
