    Rabbit in GI stasis will only eat dandelions and paper

    No, he doesn't have a partner. He came from a rescue centre who have normally been good with pairing up rabbits, but they were unable to successfully do so with him. That's kind of the reason we took him on - although he couldn't live with another rabbit, he did seem to enjoy seeing them near...

    Rabbit in GI stasis will only eat dandelions and paper

    Update: He's eaten some carrot tops and a few apple leaves. I put some small apple branches in whole in case he wants to chew the wood. He's looking quite subdued at the moment and hasn't eaten much in the past few hours, but perhaps that's the time of day. He's just sitting on his shelf in the...

    Rabbit in GI stasis will only eat dandelions and paper

    I'm not sure if they considered this but I will ask when I get a chance. I'm looking at the symptoms now and most of them seem similar to GI stasis, and we're not seeing the ones that aren't, so hopefully that's not the issue. If you have experience in this is there anything in particular we...

    Rabbit in GI stasis will only eat dandelions and paper

    Small update - he's eating carrot leaves happily too. I'll try to find some bramble leaves when I go out foraging for dandelions again. He hasn't touched fresh grass but I'll keep trying. I might be able to "borrow" some apple leaves from a neighbour. We have taken him to a specialist...

    Rabbit in GI stasis will only eat dandelions and paper

    My rabbit Bobby has been suffering from varying levels of GI stasis for over a week now. He's been in and out of the vets and every time he's there he seems to be on the mend, but slows down again after getting home. Yesterday I realised he was eating some of the paper pellets we put in his...

    Coaxing a rabbit to go up and down to other places and in and out of hutch

    I haven't had her long enough to really be sure about some of those arthritis symptoms, but so far she looks OK. The only thing I've noticed is when she stretches up on her hind legs she comes down again quickly. Maybe that's just what she wants to do, or maybe she's been out of a hutch so...

    Coaxing a rabbit to go up and down to other places and in and out of hutch

    With the hutch she has also had the option to just jump straight in or out, and the ramp is pretty shallow. It did have good grip on it, and now the tunnel is there the grip might not be quite as good, but it is textured inside so it should be OK. If she doesn't catch on maybe I'll try a halfway...

    Coaxing a rabbit to go up and down to other places and in and out of hutch

    I rehomed a rabbit yesterday. She's in a play house with a hutch inside as a place to retreat to for warmth and security. The main door to the hutch is kept open and the solid one to sleeping area is closed. The hutch is on legs to keep it warmer and to allow her underneath so she has extra...

    Run recommendations/DIY tips/question

    My partner and I will be taking in a rabbit in the next couple of weeks (she must have a home by then) so I have some questions about runs. We've already spent a lot of money on preparing so I need to try and save money on the run, but of course I want to make sure it's safe and suitable too...
