Thanks for the advice. Ill change his litter back to what we used originally, we didnt have this problem then. He hasnt been nuetered yet but will be soon. Hopefully i can fix this proble, it must be uncomfortable to have wet feet and a wet bottom.

I have a problem with my 6 month old mini lops litter habits. When we first got him, within two weeks he was litter trained. We could let him run about the house freely and he always returned to his cage to do his business in his littler tray. We always used a paper litter, i cant remember what...

Thanks!!! Gee bunnies can be stressful pets....

Good point! Well i can't feel it anymore, and due to the size it was I imagine that means it's probably gone, his tribe is back to normal, he is eating and drinking and his weight has increased, he no longer feels bony, still has a little more weight to go but he is significantly more plump...

The article of food was very helpful, thank you!

Thank you! I won't give him the silver very anymore. In terms of this firm lump, when you press gently it doesn't appear to hurt him and it seems to actually move as well.... He's more active today than he has been and his weight is up, he seems so much better, but this lump is scarIng me...

Oh and he has grass hay, that's all I know about it, and he has that unlimited

I felt confident but it's pretty hard to know... She has been recommended by many other rabbit owners and is the only rabbit specialist where I live. She seemed like she knew exactly what she was talking about, but I guess any body could come across that way. Im very worried about that...

I'm worried too, can't tell you how much I appreciate the advice. I'll do just what you've suggest and see how it works for him. He'll have to go to the vet I think, the lump is firm and feels fairly close to the skin. It's just under his rib an it's probably the size of a 20 cent peice, an...

And just now I was stroking him and he was laybg on my lap on his back and he has a lump I didn't notice before. It's almost hard and it's just under his ribs and to the side. :(

The other thing I forgot to mention was she suggested I feed him a bit of mashed pumpkin too.

Thanks for all the tips, I have noticed his water has not seemed to go down, so I believe he is dehydrated, his poops have gotten larger, though. But his urine went from being an orange colour to now being milky. I really am new to the rabbit thing, I've only had him since Christmas so I...

One more thing, over night his poops have been so tiny, almost a third of the normal size and they are almost black......

The second wee I found that was more orangey was nothing like that, and I guess I assumed it to be blood because id seen the first one, and I thought maybe it just had less blood in it. I'm glad that it could be due to other causes, but I'm still very confused about about what the first one is.

Thanks for the information, and I think I will phone the vet and do just that. This is a photo of the first One I found, I don't know what it is... But it was half dried when I found it, but part of it was still wet and it was a deep red.

My little boy Radagast, who is a 5 month old mini lop, became quite skinny, and so he went to the vet. She said his stomach is impacted, and when you press it feels as though there's a stress ball in there... She described it as a fibrous lump causing him gut motility issues and probably some...

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. It's very hard. Such fragile little things. They can appear so fine when they're not, I wish it were easier :(

Rest in peace little buddy. Found the little dude laying on his side in his hutch, though he was fine yesterday. Can only assume the antibiotics for the coccidiosis did not work. Poor little guy was only 10 or so weeks old. He will be missed. Now worried about other bunny too. :'(

I'm afraid I'm unsure on the type of grass hay, I didn't ask because I didn't actually realise that it matter or that there even are many different types, I will ask them where I bought it though. I have seen oxbow at the vet I go to so will get some of that and as you suggest, add it gradually...

Thank you so much everyone. He will be getting pellets from today forward.
