    Rabbit not drinking

    I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that coconut oil is not safe for rabbits. I am not sure about olive oil, and I definitely would not give a rabbit hairball medication that is formulated for a cat. Sunflower oil is safe. Worst case scenario and you can't get sunflower oil, I would say...

    Tips for overweight doe

    I have had two or three rex over the years, and every single one of them was a very easy keeper... It's like they can gain weight on air. Their velvety coats highlight and accentuate their jelly rolls too! The one I have right now is no exception. I never have figured out how to keep them...

    Baby With Runny Nose

    I just realized that I forgot to post an update on the kit with a runny nose. I figured out the problem. He had not mastered the art of drinking water yet and was putting his face too deep in the crock. When I figured out what was happening I was concerned about the possibility of aspiration...

    What age do I wean the bunnies at?

    I take the doe away from the kits instead of taking the kits away from the do. I do it at five weeks. I leave them in the hutch they grew up in together for one more week, and then I divide them by sex and put them in grow out hutches at six weeks.

    At What Age Do You Retire Does?

    I have a wonderful doe named Zelda. As of yesterday, she has a beautiful litter of 10! Zelda is 4-1/2 years old. I've tried twice to retire her, but she gets visibility depressed if you don't let her have and raise kits! She is just such a wonderful, cheeful mother that I keep letting her do...

    Bunny not pooping or peeing

    Is there any chance he might have ate something of an inorganic nature while hopping around the house? Carpet, a bit of a plastic bag, a cigarette butt, anything like that?

    Bunny not pooping or peeing

    Please let us know what you find out. In the meantime you might try putting a little sunflower oil on some oats or pellets or whatever you can get him to eat. If he has some kind of blockage it might help loosen it up.

    Bunny not pooping or peeing

    I'm at a loss. Can you take him to the vet tomorrow when they get back in the office?

    Bunny not pooping or peeing

    Try offering him some rolled oats. Just plain, old fashioned oatmeal, not the instant quick cook kind. Let us know how he reacts to those. I'd expect his belly to be bloated if it were GI stasis. Does he still groom himself as normal? What behavior changes have you noticed the most? Can you...
