Hello everyone. Strange title I know but I was reading a couple of posts - one about problems with matted hair and one (well, many) about runny poopoos and would like some advice myself because neither quite matches my problem.
Lola is my first ever bunny and she is 12 wk old so I'm really new to this - I have had pinnie gigs before but never bunnys. I have two queries really:
1) Poopoos
My bunny was doing poopoos that were sort of like those cereal things you get in muller corners. Very normal, spherical, solid, pick them up and put them in the ashtray kinda poos. For the past couple of days she's been doing sort of longer, plaited more people like poos. I at first though must be food. On Saturday evening she was given some banana. Sunday morning fairly squishy poos. Sunday evening tomato, Monday morning normal poos. Monday evening tomato, Tuesday morning funny people like poos (black, by the way). No veg Tues evening, funny poos Wed morning. AND on tues I started mixing Excel pellets into her Russel Junior because the vet said they were better for her.
Comments/suggestions welcome!
2)Hairdressing.
Lola does not like going upside down. even with her head lower than the rest of her she still won't just lie there. How do I clean her underneaths? - she has i bit of matted fur/bedding near her tail that she won't let me get.
Also,
at the moment I am using a comb to groom her. Is a brush better? I'm worried that a metal brush would hurt but a bristle brush might not get through the hair.
Hope I haven't bored you all to death!!! :roll:
