Thanks guys! I'm sorry I didn't clarify, they have their cage back. He lays in it sometimes, but I rarely close the door, they are basically free range. Unless he is laying in or near the cage, he is wonderful and loving. He recently destroyed the box he liked to hide in, so I'm going to...

I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening to your bunnies. And I completely understand not being able to pay for a vet. I was a vet tech and have worked in management of multiple pet stores, but after 9 years with out answers, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease last year and due...

After 10+ years of keeping rabbits, I thought I'd dealt with every issue, but this is a new one for me. I've dealt with cage aggression in young rabbits, new mothers and in fosters that haven't necessarily learned that humans are good things, but Raisin has stumped me and nothing I try with...

I have been a member of this community for several years, but I have been MIA for quite some time. Last time I was an active member, I was bunny mom to Timothy, a French Lop. We added Foo to our bunny family in August 2011. Tim was staying with a friend of mine and she was fostering Foo, a...

Welcome!! He is beautiful. I once had a female tri mini rex, Basil. She was wonderful!

So, for those who don't know, in my house, we live a communal life. Everyone is free roam and, luckily, the dogs love the cats who love the rabbits who love the dogs and so on. However, recently, Tim has developed an affinity for eating dog food, not just a nibble, but he will literally sit and...

Alright, first, take a deep breath. I understand that everyone is telling you to take him to a vet, and yes, that is what really should happen, but I also understand what it is to not have vet access. I used to live in an area where none of the vets treated small animals and my choice was to...

It is ear mites. The flaking ick that you see is called Ear Canker. Rabbit skin reacts to the waste products from the mites. At this point, the infestation is really bad. He needs vet treatment because he most likely has a secondary bacterial infection in his skin and possibly into the ear...

The trio is bonded enough that they hang out every day, but I don't trust the boys if I'm not home or at night, they sometimes give chase. Bonding can be tough, but the work is really worth it if it works out. They are just sweet together. Keep trying it takes patience and perseverance...

Wow! Looking at this, I'm amazed by how much has changed in my life since the last post. Shortly after that post, I ended up leaving my living situation with my brother and sister-in-law, which should have been a good thing, but...it started a wave of awfulness that eventually turned into an...

I have been a member here for quite some time now, but I have been MIA. An insane amount of things have happened in my life in that time, I moved multiple times, got married, changed jobs, acquired 2 more rabbits, and so on. I'll explain in better detail in my personal feed. Anyway, I have...

I have not been around for quite some time due to a bad living situation. I have just left that situation, but I need a temporary foster for Tim, my 3 year old French Lop. When I finally decided to move, I had to move in with my brother and sister-in-law. They will not let Timothy stay...

Oh, it sounds like the hormones have kicked in. Just as was said above, if they are intact, they need to be separated. As far as the ear, is there actually something inside of the wound? If could be a warble. They occur when a bot fly lays eggs inside of a wound, when they hatch, the larva is...

I'm so sorry to hear about Cocoa's passing. He was such a beautiful boy! Jen :angelandbunny:

Amy, I'm so sorry to hear about Marlin. What a beautiful boy he was. Jen:bunnyangel2:

Oh, just the thought of warbles makes me ill. I've removed more then my fair share. The vet I work for is located in the country, so we see them a lot. I'm glad you were able to get your vet friend to remove them. I've found that a lot of old time farmers can remove them better then anyone else...

Just wanted to say that I completely love Randy's answer! :wink Bladder sludge can be easiest to detect on x-ray. I always like to see an x-ray when there is a possible urinary issue, mostly because I've seen issues that just don't seem to show on a urinalysis. True exotic savvy vets are just...

Denise, I'm so sorry to read off Calliope's passing. They are always just gone way too soon. I too had forgotten about this part of rabbit ownership until I lost Elliot in the spring, but honestly, I'm thankful that we can forget, otherwise, we would never love another. Lots of love, Jen Binky...

Hi! Welcome to RO. I hope you find good information here. We'd love to see photos of all those wonderful babies! Jen

Welcome!! Your rabbits are beautiful. Jen
