    Can too much fresh grass make a bunny overweight?

    Thanks, I didn't know what spring grass was but did think it was probably the wrong time of year for it! I think Hazel is very happy that I'm not cutting back on the grass, she loves it :-) Hopefully they won't notice a reduction in nuggets. I top up the hay multiple times in the day so they...

    Can too much fresh grass make a bunny overweight?

    Thanks for everyones suggestions, I will cut the nuggets down, not go back to the carrot and pepper and hopefully that will help :-)

    Can too much fresh grass make a bunny overweight?

    Thanks, I'll maybe try and pick more of the older darker looking grass as she still eats that too and keep the quantity the same. Both of their poops are normally good sized, well formed etc. The odd problem ones here or there but nothing bad. I never thought I would need to watch the weight of...

    Can too much fresh grass make a bunny overweight?

    My bunnies had both been about 2.5kg, early this year they were both about 2.7kg. I had asked my vet if they were overweight but she said she could feel their bones etc and didn't think so. Hazel has been unwell with sniffles recently (posted on another thread) but she has still been eating...

    Hazel sneezing/snuffles

    Just a quick update: Hazel had her tear ducts flushed and xrays done on thursday under sedation. The vet said it went well, they cleared quite a lot out of one side in particular. Luckily her xrays (head and chest) were all clear, he said her teeth are all good. No signs of anything in chest (I...

    Hazel sneezing/snuffles

    Thankyou for your advice, her ears were fine when the vet checked the other day, she has sticking up ears (my other bunny is a helicopter ear and he does have repeated ear infections). I will ask my vet about doing the tear duct without sedation, I don't think i's likely for her as she is...

    Hazel sneezing/snuffles

    Thankyou for your reply, I think it's because of her age and her being unwell as well I just worry I will lose her if we do an anaesthetic. She always strikes me as being a fragile bunny, she's very sweet, loves her food, she's very gentle. She had a cancer scare when I first got her and had her...

    Hazel sneezing/snuffles

    Looking for advice/ideas if anyone has any please. My bunny Hazel is about 5/6 years old (I got her from rescue and have had her 3 years). Last year around this time she had started sneezing and having a runny nose etc, yellow/white discharge. As a previous bunny had similar I was worried it was...

    Beetles in new hay

    I'm going to continue to buy from them unless I find more in the replacement. So far so good! I wanted them to eat blend but they weren't bothered, it's the soft cut the wolf down. I'm happy to see them eat so much hay. I did read that the soft doesn't wear their teeth as well so hope I don't...

    Beetles in new hay

    The company just phoned me and they are going to send another box and take this back. He told me about the process the hay goes through to make sure there aren't bugs so he doesn't know why they are there but he is happy to replace. Maybe they have been attracted to it rather than came from it...

    The much anticipated new batch of soft hay is in

    Yes the beetles are alive, hopefully I have just been unlucky then as my bunnies love it. I've sent them a facebook message with a picture, will see what they say.

    The much anticipated new batch of soft hay is in

    Hi, I just put up a thread about a beetle I found in my soft hay and came across this thread. Did you buy some of the Hay Box soft cut? That's what I got and my bunnies love it sooooooo much but I just found beetles in it yesterday and wondering if anyone else found the same and if it's a...

    Beetles in new hay

    https://imgur.com/a/3MJJ2IL Above is a photo of the beetle. I tried tasters of different hays as my bunnies have become fussy with the shop bought hay. They absolutley love the soft cut I found from the Hay Box. I bought them a mixed blend 5kg and they weren't too bothered so I gave in and...

    Separation anxiety

    You sound just like me! We work from home anyway but the bunnies we have now we got not long before lockdown. So we've hardly been out and about. When we first went out for the whole day, one of my bunnies, Hazel, was acting a bit weird when we got back, she's quite a nervy bunny and doesn't...

    Can you add oral Baytril to a treat/nuggets and let the rabbit take it that way?

    Thanks, she got put off when I tried on her nuggets and I really had to encourage her but I'm now doing it on a 'pocket' treat that she absolutley loves and she is eating it no problem. I don't give them many nuggets / treats normally so that might be why she is happy to eat it. The vet did 2...

    Can you add oral Baytril to a treat/nuggets and let the rabbit take it that way?

    Hi, Hazel has been sneezing, had yellow nasal discharge etc. The vet gave her Baytril for 1 week. I also asked for a test for Pasteurella, our vets lab doesn't do it but she found one that does and we're just waiting for results. The reason I wanted to test for it was because my old bunny...
