Thanks everyone for your kind wishes.. much appreciated at a difficult time.

My wonderful gladiators Crixus and Spartacus are now reunited in Rainbow Bridge - Crixus left in April 2023 and Spartacus joined her this week. I wanted to take the opportunity to again thank those of you who helped with their bonding (they had 9 very happy years together) and with Spartacus'...

Hi - thanks for the suggestions - I tried baby food - no joy - but apple slices have worked a treat to my massive relief (Boots I have similar issues with mine).. it's so useful to have some backup strategies in case that stops working.

Hi all - just wondered if anyone has any tips for getting liquid meds into bunnies without catching them and using syringe.

update: appetite changes - old age ? Updating in case helps anyone in similar situation : my female bunny (crixus) was a little 'off' at start of week (i suspected UTI) so took them both to the vet for checkup. Vet thinks the underlying issue re feeding may be arthritis and they're both now on...

Hi everyone - a quick update that i sourced a new bag of science selective yesterday and he seems much keener now so maybe that was at least part of the issue. The previous supply was in date and stored in cool area prior to use so not sure what was up with it, but will monitor over the next few...

Thanks. He is enthusiastic - just not for pellets. If he wasn't I'd be worried re stasis but his behaviour is 100% normal apart from little interest in pellets. They get a bit less when they're indoors.. prob 40g between them (emphasis on other foods to avoid his tendency towards dysbiosis)...

Thanks .. i'm hoping that's all it is ..

No, the female is the dental bunny (she had recent dental), he's the stasis bunny (diet controlled).. good thought though .. he was checked in december (vaccination) and his teeth were ok (whereas hers, at same time, indicated dental needed short term). I'll see if his interest perks up once...

Hi - first time bunny owner - hopefully quick question. My two are now 7 years old and past couple of months have not been eating all their pellets at feeding times . I think this is largely driven by one of them (the male) not being as enthusiastic as normal so the female does not have to...

Glad it worked out for you - I took my bunny to vet for same issue last week and all was good there too :)

Thanks everyone for your reassurance .. here's hoping for a good innings from them both :)

Hi Jack's Jane - he was seen by vet today and verdict is all good respiratory/dental-wise so probably just increased vocalisation .. a good outcome. Was a pronounced change so am glad i had him checked. Thanks for your input :)

Thanks ... I think I’ll get him checked out by vet .. it’s a noticeable change.

Thanks - that's reassuring ! It was an emergency vet (non bunny specialist) and not my regular vet and i must admit i was taken aback by the comment (especially at a time of stress) though since the same establishment (different vet) literally saved her life in February (when she had severe...
