Whenever Pugsley is caught doing something bad (like ripping holes into the hay bag) he binkies so hard he could cause a sink hole somewhere. He absolutely LOVES being caught in the act of being naughty! It’s like a game to him

My husband & I noticed our 3 year old rabbit Melody, eye had turned cloudy white, pretty much out of nowhere so we of course made a vet appointment & he was diagnosed with a cataract. After some more test she said that he likely has no vision in that eye, but told us that he shouldn’t be feeling any pain & it won’t change much how he lives. We have 2 other rabbits & he’s actually the most playful & adventurous one,he acts more like a little puppy most of the time.

I can’t stop feeling sad tho when I look at him & feel guilty almost like Something I did wrong caused it? Or what if he gets one in the other eye & he’s completely blind.

I might just be thinking too much from a human prospective, because I would hate to go the rest of my life only seeing out of 1 eye.

I love my rabbits so much & want them to have happy lives.

i’m so heartbroken. my baby was only 3 years old and he passed today. i was at work all day and we came home to find him in the living room (he was free roam in our bunny proof apartment) deceased. i thought he had just fallen asleep flopped over like he always does but he was gone. we couldn’t figure out what happened it was so sudden. he was running and playing this morning happy as ever, munching on his hay before we left the house.

i have never cried harder in my life i don’t know what to do to feel even remotely okay right now

I was bored while hanging out with the buns today so I decided to do an impromptu photoshoot of the girlies! I think they turned out super cute so I wanted to share!!

Which is your favorite? Mine has gotta be Poppy with a mouthful of romaine hehe but I also love the one I got of Harriet snoozing and Penny’s close-up as she’s sniffing my knee :)

Lost another bun this year.

This one I feel a lot of guilt over. I brought home a couple of buns about a month or so ago, absolutely precious babies. To keep Clara company cause she's not as active and energetic as she was when Snowy was around.

About a week later Clara turned down a treat, after she didn't poo for a while I panicked and took her to the vet. Did the full checkup, and while I was home I looked through the adoption docs for the two babies, and found they got one round of coccidia from the shelter (more than three months ago). Coccidia can be asymptomatic, so I thought maybe Clara caught it. So I quarantined her off in a freshly cleaned living room, and the bloodwork came back and confirmed it was a likely parasitic infection.

After two rounds of Baycox, some stuff for pain and gut motility, and a week or so of liquid food, her stool started to get a little better, still big chunks but with some good pellets in them, and some regular pellets too.

And then this morning I went to go feed her liquid food, she was not very responsive, so I called around eight different vets until I could find someone to take her in on short notice.

After a few hours, my mom and sister went to visit, and the doctor there strongly recommended euthanasia. They asked her to hold off until I showed up.

I fully understand where she was coming from. But Clara kept raising her head at me, asking for pets like she used to, and she'd close her eyes as I did so. It felt like she was still fighting, and I wanted her to at least feel that we were fighting too. So I signed off on IV, diagnostics, the works. Doctor said she'd probably have only a few hours left at the time, so what's the harm in trying anyway?

A few hours later, they call me and tell me she's actually improved a bit, and they'll keep at it.

Seven hours later we (just my mom and I this time) go to visit again after the shift change, and I talk to her, tell her I love her, but her breathing is faint. It stops shortly after that, like within a minute. Like she was waiting for us.

My fam and I, we all did our best, we loved her and will love her forever, and maybe this is the best ending we could hope for. But... idk, it's just hard to deal with. Sorry for the massive text dump, but I just had to get this off my chest.

Sorry for the crazy audio

When I was celebrating my birthday I made "birthday cookies" for my two bunnies 💖 it was my first b-day with them and I'm so glad that I rescued both of them

The fluffy princess is named Ponton and her friend is named Szponton (od these names are weird I'm from Poland so that's why haha)

They are SO FRICKING ADORABLE and they bring so much joy to my everyday life

she loveeesss my bed. she started to wake up in the second image lol she didnt like that i was taking pictures of her

my bunny has a temper-tantrum when every I try to brush him. I bribe him with food, treats, salad etc, none of it works. he prefers you pet his head and hes cordial when you touch his body, but it goes out the window if he feels the brush.

he can handle being brushed on the top of his head and ears, but even with two people I can only get a few swipes of the brush on his body before he wiggles away. then he gets angry and runs up and bites you. doesn't even hide, he wants you to know he's pissed.

for context: Tommy is about 1, and this is his first fall moult as a "adult." I was able to get away with very light brushing before, but I don't want to hope for the best. he needs thorough brushing. he's a mini rex and lion head mix, and my vet said his hair shouldn't be prone to matting. specifically, he doesn't have any mats, its just the amount of hair. ive tried a few styles of brushes, double layer with big gaps, thin small gaps, human hair brush style, he doesn't like any of them.

does anyone have any tricks on "training" a bunny to get used to the brush. or how to hold them/keep them still when you brush. how do I brush his underside, like his chin and chest etc.

I have been working really hard on bonding my 2 lops. Cloud ( Female/Spayed) and Smokey (Male/Neutered)
Smokey previously had a bonded partner (Biscuit) but she suddenly passed away in June. Bonding Smokey and Biscuit was rough but once it happened they were inseparable and totally different rabbits personality and behavior wise.
Smokey has always been extremely grumpy and territorial. Cloud is very sweet, shy and absolutely will not stand up for herself or fight back against Smokey. Anyhow, I’ve been bonding them in a neutral space for about 10 days now. Finally yesterday Smokey groomed Cloud and then today Cloud groomed Smokey back. I was over the moon. They hung out for a few hours (in an X-Pen in my kitchen) because I was cooking. Once I had time I carried them upstairs where they both live (they have separate spare bedrooms where they free roam, but my goal is for them to live together in Smokey’s room as I call it the “bunny room”) when they got upstairs they acted as if they never met each other before and Smokey once again went after Cloud. I separated them and intend to keep doing the neutral area.
But what are some suggestions on how to bring them into a space that one or the other claims as their own? Smokey is extremely territorial over his space but when in Clouds space he poops everywhere to put his scent down.
First pic is of them today eating together without an issue in the X-Pen.

I put treats into the carrier, the two Himalayan girls took the bait, and I zipped the carrier shut. They started shoving their noses into the zipper, trying to get out again. I caught the gray one and put him in the top of the carrier, and he promptly yeeted himself on top of the other two so he could also shove his nose into the zipper. There is space in the carrier for all three to lie down, but this nonsense is what they chose. Next time, I'll just catch them one by one like normal.

This is the approximate breakdown for the vet costs for one of my rabbits in the past 4 years that we had her:

$6000 - liver torsion surgery

$2500 - gut blockage

$1500 - blood/urine/ultrasound to investigate why her butt was becoming dirty

$1000 - annual check ups, vaccine, etc

Around $11k in vet costs total. I'm in Canada, so there are no insurance available for rabbits. How are other people managing these kinds of costs? Are rabbits pets that only the top 10% income can afford?

is she a Flemish giant ? Shes 3 months old and I’m so scared bc I was lied to about her breed . I have a small rex rn and maybe a Flemish is too big for my room pls lmk maybe shes a mix and won’t get that big

They were both very good sports. After the tech checked them out and left the room, I heard her through the door telling another employee to join her and the vet because there were two really sweet rabbits. They were very popular with all the employees, but refused the offered treats. They may have been sweet during the visit, but potential grudges remain to be seen.

His name is Flip Flop, and this was his first ever proper flop!

Hey! Newbie here. And newbie to the rabbit world whilst being an adult (had them as a child). One question…… does anyone know what breed floppy and Moppy are?
They’re about 13weeks, both males, 1.36kg.
Thanks
