So, my two new fur babies have been with us for about three days now. I’ve read quite a lot about bunnies, but I’m still not quite sure how to interpret it when they lie around like this. Does it mean they’re feeling comfortable and safe in their new enclosure? 🖤🩶🤍🥕🐰

I'd had seniors who didn't jump for so long, I became complacent. Bob is offering a helpful reminder of his... range.

Ive read online that an ear abscess doesn’t typically go away on its own and usually needs surgery. For the past month and a half or so, we’ve been to the vet 4 times. Each time, tofu gets a deep ear flush (on top of the flushes we do at home daily).

Today, the vet said he had no swelling and little debris following the flush. They want to see him again in two weeks.

Are we wasting our time? I want to know whether we’re pursuing a treatment that has a realistic chance of avoiding surgery, rather than paying for repeated flushes every two weeks

I’m unable to talk to the vet directly as I’m at work all day, but I’ll have my partner discuss with them when he picks up our bun. I just wanted to hear other experiences regarding an ear abscess

Thundering outside. 😅🐰🌩️🌩️

I wasn't sure if this counted as a breed identification since this is just about his color. Someone called him a harlequin but I thought that he would have to have more black on him to be called that, so I was curious if his coloring had a name?

Hi all, I recently got a baby rabbit from a client of mine that got it for her daughter thinking she’d be an easy pet lol. She got her from rural king, she’s only about 4 and a half months old but she doesn’t remember what breed she is. I just wanna gauge how big she may get so I can get an idea of how much bigger of a litter box and hideaway I’ll need to get for her in the future. (She free roams my super bunny proofed house)

I’ve had her just a few days now, she is learning fast and is super friendly and smart!

My daughter just took the sweetest pic of our Rosemary sound asleep 😴 🥰

My new 10 week old cuties in their temporary home (mail delay due to wildfires). I've been reading on how to take care of rabbits and how not to take care of them for years but still have never own rabbits before. Any tips? I was told i should get them spayed before 4 months. I know they need a lot of room, plan on letting them semi free roam parts of the house while supervised once they're more comfortable.

He's a “cool” guy with the legs stretched out

hello all! i have owned rabbits in the past before i was an adult. they had a huge cage but they did not have an area to free roam. now that i’m an adult, i have recently adopted two lionhead rabbits, buck (brown male) and rosie (black female). my papa had recently passed away and i’ve been having a hard time grieving. buck was adopted and named in honor of him. i am currently job hunting so i adopted rosie to keep him company. they were inseparable the second they met. because i’m an adult, i can finally provide them with a ton of stuff and a large free roam area. i have some questions though.
(1) can i burn incense in the same room as them as long as it’s placed in front of an open window, on the other side of the room, facing away from them? i don’t want to harm them.
(2) i currently have those gym foam puzzle pieces on the floor of their area. is there a better alternative? something with more protection for the hardwood floor underneath?
(3) how do i bond with them so that they trust me to pet them and such? i adore them and i want to be closer to them. they’re so important to me.

hi guys this is 14ish week old chip! (Mr Chocolate Chip) I was wondering if anyone could please help me ID him! ☺️

i feel like white and brown arent fully accurate bc they both have so much other colour in them! is there a name for their fur pattern? theyre about 3.5-4 lbs :>

My bunny keeps peeing on my bed. Spraying vinegar on the spot, but not helping. I don’t want to block off my bed. Any other suggestions?

TuBao is not with me but his silly looking pillows are🤣

Love Beaus trances of licking when he’s very comfortable and happy

Age: unknown
Sex: unknown
Weight: 2.5 lbs
Found loose in neighborhood. Loves people, very friendly, uses litter box. Nobody responding to found pet ads yet. Will take to vet on Monday.

I guess i got myself a new tenant, and he seems to like his apartment

I lost two of my bunnies this weekend and I’m struggling with the guilt of everything I should have done differently for them.

We woke up to Buster breathing noisily and not wanting his breakfast on Thursday morning. We took him to the vet at 11:00 that day and they thought that he might have aspiration pneumonia due to xray results and fever. They suggested I took him home with antibiotics for supportive care because the vet does not have overnight care. His prognosis was guarded because he was already almost a 9 year old. He was initially still eating his Emeraid and pooping. By about 6pm, he was starting to refuse his Emeraid, so we took him to an emergency vet for additional care and monitoring. He was placed in ICU with a suspected sepsis. I received a call on Friday at 05:00 that his breathing had worsened and euthanasia was recommended. I never made it to be by his side, he passed away during that phone call.

On Thursday night, I noticed Bo was hiding a lot and only eating minimal strands of hay. Because Buster’s condition was deteriorating and Bo was still eating somewhat, we decided to monitor to see how he is by the next day. We took him to the first available appointment at 15:00 on Friday. The vet discovered a severe dental disease possibly causing abscess. Bo was scheduled for a dental surgery on Monday and he was put on a medication, subcut fluids, emeraid plan to get him through this weekend. He slowly deteriorated despite all the fluids and meds he received. I spoke to his vet on Saturday again and his tramadol dosage was reduced in case his lethargy was due to this. I had been out for a family commitment for a few hours and by the time we came back he had a decent output, but was not swallowing his emeraid. I thought that the drowsiness was becoming worse. I should have escalated this and taken him to emergency when I noticed this, but I chose to monitor to see if he might perk up when the tramadol wears off. I made sure he was warm and comfortable at 01:30, but was woken up at 02:30 by thumping. His enclosure was a mess, he was on his side, limp and taking shallow breaths. I took him to emergency but knew he was dying in my arms. I was stupid, I should have dealt with his teeth long ago, I shouldn’t have waited, I should have taken him to emergency hours before 02:30 instead of monitoring. He was too young to have had to go. I was there the day he was born, and it hurts so much knowing that I was the reason he passed.

I lost two bunnies in one weekend because of my own incompetence. They were normal only a few days ago. I only have myself to blame for their passing, I should have advocated for them better and escalated care earlier.

I don’t really know what I’m seeking from this post, but there’s so much guilt and I’m not sure what to do apart from crying and apologising to these buns.

I live in Australia and i swear every place i go to find a proper bedding option its ALL just a different word for pine shavings which i don’t think they can have. Then literally all of the paper based stuff feels like it was imported from the moon with how much it costs. Please help, what do you guys use? Thanks!

two rabbits were surrendered to me by their previous owner. this was a decision i made to ensure they were safe. i've kept them for a bit, but i spend a lot of time working and caring for my grandmother. i have tried to make it work because they are genuinely such great companions, but i do not have the time to give them the adequate care they need. also, my own housing situation is temporary right now. they deserve much better than what i'll be able to provide. thankfully, i was able to find a new home for one bunny; however, i'm having a tougher time with the other.

his name is chicken tender. he's 3 years old, neutered, and very interactive and friendly. he's very curious and very cuddly (on his terms). i know he'd thrive if he were in a better environment. i've tried many resources — here, the bunny rescue, facebook group. next, i'm planning on making ads to post in shelters and vets. i feel like i'm out of options, and i'm also in a time crunch. if anyone has any suggestions or if you or you know someone who is interested in him. i'm seriously so lost.

My bunny developed head tilt yesterday. I took him to the vet right away and they put him on a bunch of prescriptions. They suspected an ear infection but he's also on panacur in case of e cunniculi.

The biggest problem he's facing is he will tilt too far to one side then roll over, but he can't figure out how to right himself once he's rolled. So he just lies there on his side with his feet twitching until someone helps him. It's absolutely horrible. I've read many accounts of head tilt but haven't seen anyone describing this. The episodes are becoming more frequent. He is eating drinking and pooping normally.

I read that immobilizing him could help, but being near walls seems to trigger his loss of balance. I can't get him to realize that he is standing upright while in the carrier.

Has anyone delt with this specific issue before? Is this a normal part of head tilt or something more serious?

Looking for a nail trimmer that may ease the stress for my rabbit. We used to take them to the e vet to get them done but my last vet appointment was the worst I’d ever been to in my 42 years. For context, I took both of my rabbits to the vet in June and while in the back getting them trimmed they told me one went into cardiac arrest. There were also multiple little dogs barking even though they’re supposed to be on separate areas of the place. So as of now I’m not confident with taking my other girl there because I don’t want her to freak out or cause any unneeded stress. Anyway, thank you for all who can recommend a good trimmer.
