I'm so sorry for your loss. I've just recently lost my Joey very suddenly, I know exactly what you mean about not grasping that you've fully lost him. You did so much for him, I know that must have helped him feel more comfortable. Do keep a close eye on Lady, I can tell you from current...

Thanks for the replies, it's so helpful to get insight from people with experience. On fostering - I would absolutely do this except in a few months I will have to take them abroad . This puts a complication in matters, I wouldn't think a rescue would want a fosterer to do that but you tell...

So first of all, it's been a few months since I was on here posting about Joey's health so I should give an update to the situation for those of you that remember that. Joey was doing really well, he was gaining weight, his arthritis was managed, everything was going great. A few nights ago he...

Mine are quite the contrarians, I used reverse bunny psychology 😂 I left the box in their room and they "stole" the nettles out of it. Now they love them!

Mine have climbed into every hay rack I've had, mischievous as they are . Now I use a hay bag, it hangs from clips on the xpen bars and has velcro along the top, and the holes at the bottom are big enough that they can get their mouths in to pull hay out but small enough that they couldn't climb...

I've not been on this forum long enough to know people well, on your first post you got 2 replies from experienced people, if you reply again to that post it will bring it to the top of the new posts column - I think you will get help. Also you can use the search feature to find other posts...

I'm not really sure, I mean overuse of antibiotics can be bad in the big picture as bacteria develop to be resistant. On the scale of your rabbit, it's up to your vet to treat any infections, while weighing up against side effects (like maybe gut health?). Someone who's dealt with recurrent...

I would definitely ask the vet about dosage since they recommended it. It's great you have an exotic vet and that they have tested the puss. They will have the results in their records, you can ask them for this when you contact them about the echinacea dosage. Sometimes you get so much...

It's not the norm on this forum to give specific dosage advice as this site is not a replacement for vet care. I would suggest you ask your vet, as they know your bunny's issues and medication interactions. Just because something is herbal does not mean it won't have side effects. You can do...

Lovely picture, theyre both so adorable! If dandelions can cause an increase in CK, I would definitely tell the vet that she was eating them everyday. Maybe those levels aren't as concerning if you factor in the amount of dandelions in her diet! They may want you to stop feeding things that...

You're doing well for your bunny and I hope the vet can get to the bottom of it. I know being the primary caregiver for a pet while you're a minor can be really difficult, you're clearly doing your best! I would definitely try to get the next appointment at a time when you can go, but if not I...

Good luck with the journey, my buns quite liked the train as its more stable than a car I guess, Piper even flopped in her carrier. I hope your 2 relax as well! And sending good vibes for the appointment!

On the right is Joey and on the left is Piper. Joey's a smart but anxious boy (he can open doors), Piper (as you can see) is a good eater. She would do literally anything for a piece of food and has to be physically stopped from eating food out of Joey's mouth. She can be deeply asleep and I can...

It seems after a few days of refusals that we love nettles here now! Complete with happy grunting and stealing out of the others mouth 😂

I got caught up in the benefits of different foods, and forgot about bunny pickyness 😂 I'll keep offering them but I am glad I got them on sale...

Unfortunately nettles were not a hit, Piper couldn't even be convinced to nibble them, and Joey had a small bite and wouldn't eat more. I can't see why since they look and smell glorious to me 🤷‍♀️

Brilliant I'll have a look at both, thank you!

Thanks, I'll try a handful of nettles tonight and we'll see what they think! I've read that about Readigrass, I'll be careful with it I know it shouldn't replace good old timothy hay. I got the nettles from Bunny Bistro, and I think I'll order some Timothy hay from the Hay Shed when my current...

Hi all, I've been reading some old threads from this forum on how to encourage more hay eating. Currently Joey and Piper are eating Timothy Hay from science selective, with occasional meadow hay from pets at home but they don't like that much. I know the best way to get them to eat hay is to...

Thank you, they do have a few of the supplements in but unfortunately not joint support, but luckily I was able to get some from wildaboutbunnies.co.uk (thanks IM!). The prices on these do seem to vary hugely based on supply, I take that to mean they're good because everyone wants them? Anyway I...
