Hello,
Sorry not been on here in a long time, life has kind of got in the way lately!
So, Bungee our house bunny is now 10 years old. Really good for her age, but just recently she has either over produced caecals or is just not eating them, and then she get them stuck on her feet or bum!
She recently went to the vets for her vaccination and they said she had lost weight, which I had put down to moulting, but now can see that she has.
I've upped her from 1 egg cup of pellets to 1 and a half. She still eats hay, but prehaps not quite as much at the moment. I changed her onto meadow hay thinking that maybe timothy was causing the problem, and it did solve it for a while. Unfortunately the last couple of batches of meadow hay weren't great, so I've swapped back to timothy, which looks amazing!
She has veggies in the evening, kale, coriander, mint, parsley and a slice of carrot and parsnip.
The vet also noticed some bumps on her, but I have yet to find these. They said to keep a check on her and to go back for another check up in a month or so. Any thoughts on what these could be? I think I was in shock and forgot to ask questions.
We are going on holiday next week, so I am a bit worried about leaving her, although I know she will be left in good hands with the lady who looks after her.
Any ideas or tips gratefully received!
We've never had a bunny reach this age and want to take the greatest care of her
Thank you x
