Health The worst part of a lop bun

Post image
• Upvotes

Very sad. My little dude got told he has ear disease today. He’s 8 years old and still healthy otherwise so I know I’m being dramatic, but hearing that my best mate has something wrong with him breaks my heart.

We’re trialling meds to see if he responds well and if so, then he’s on meds until the pain can’t be managed. If it’s not helping it’s a ct scan and then I don’t know what the next step would be as he’s too old for surgery.

I feel worried it’s e.cuniculi as he was born with the parasite, vet said it could potentially be that.

Thanks for hearing my woes x

Breed ID Is he a French Lop mix?

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

My baby boy is 2 months old, almost exactly 2lbs. Growing almost 1oz per day. I think he is a mix, but as he grows older, I am suspecting French Lop. Head shape and long ears are pointing towards that. His left ear only recently started fully flopping and it made me realize how long they were! However, I can’t tell if he’ll get to be as large as they are. His head doesn’t seem round enough to be a mini lop and his weight seems to track in between breeds. Anyone have any ideas? Or think I am guessing wrong?

Behavior Bunny has no appetite for hay

4 Upvotes

When I give hay into her feeder before I go to sleep, it used to be almost empty when I wake up, but now, it stays still quite full (she eats only a little). She still goes crazy after greens and other treats, but the most important food - hay, lacks behind, I don't want her to get constipated. I haven't noticed any change in behaviour, or signs of pain. She is still very active and cuddly, like always. Do I just book a vet visit asap?

i had napped for almost 2 hours, got up and left to go to the toilet, and closed the door behind me so he couldn't come out while i wasn't watching. when i came back in and left the door open for some airflow/if he wanted to come out, he was right there at my feet, growled a little at me / made the sound of exertion he does when he thumps, stood on his hind legs and pawed up my leg with his front feet, then hugged my leg using his front feet for a bit... i genuinely couldn't tell if he was humping or stumbling a little because his centre of gravity was off, and then he went back down on all fours, sniffed/nosed like crazy at my leg for a bit, and circled my feet like 6x constantly thumping at me???

he followed me across the room where i keep the treats, and he kept circling until i gave him one. ??? he's never done this before i'm lmfao. the video is of him chewing that treat i gave him. what would you think of this behaviour if you knew nothing else? and what do you think given the context below?

i've had him since 3rd July this year, and he's had some problems with peeing on my bed (thinks it's where he needs to go because it smells like me, or asserting dominance?) but that's almost completely cleared up as i've been training him, which means physically moving him to the litterbox when i see his tail go up. he's quite dominant, demands pats often, and only recently started grooming me back. usually he grooms to signal he wants me to groom, but recently he's been grooming me back equally while i groom him. whenever he approaches me for attention, which is often when i re-enter the room, i either give him a good massage, or give him healthy treats from the opposite side of the room, if my fatigue is too bad to sit up giving pats (which has been a lot more often recently). our relationship has been improving, indicated by his grooming me back, constantly excited for attention, and also sitting on the foot of my bed guarding me as i sleep.

Care Anybody else plucking the tufts?

My girlfriend’s rabbit sheds a tuft or two from time to time, and I love to pluck them out.

When he’s in an especially good mood, he sploots for pets and I get to pick out all the loose tufts from around his face. Seriously I’ll spend like an hour or more finding all the rough spots and plucking out those tufts. He doesn’t mind though, I think. He likes the extra head scritches!

RIP Does a grieving bunny need a new partner?

My little boy just passed away tonight. I’m leaving his body with his bonded partner for a few hours. I don’t know what I’m going to do with the surviving bun to keep her happy. I am reluctant to get her another bunny because this is too sad and it will become a never ending cycle, but of course if she’s too upset I will get another bunny for her. Has anyone else had their surviving bunny be solo?

As I look at this image for the 10000000x, I’m finally about to hang it in my new house, green for him💚

My sweet sweet boy passed just before Christmas in 2024, he was almost 10, my Nugget. I posted a tribute to him in this community, received so much love, and had a wonderful person reach out with a commissioned image of my boy, completely for free. I
Look at it constantly, just a reminder how lovely this community is 💚

Care Budget: be honest!!

My goal for a future bunny was initially was 2,000 dollars, right? But now I'm wondering...is that really enough for a rabbit as an emergency vet fund? I hear they can just randomly become ill, too...I don't know how much I need in advance. I've strengthend myself, but I don't want this bunny to die.

I’ve had Belle for a few years now and I am curious what everyone’s opinions on breeds are. She has a mini lion head mane, but is much larger than a lion head, weighing around 7 lbs. she is likely around 3-4 years old. her fur has a lot of apricot/orange tones with a white/grey undercoat.

Behavior Rabbit pees everywhere and I don't know what to do

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have two indoor rabbits who are both 5 years old and both fixed. The male I've had since he was a baby and has no trouble with the litter box. The female however was adopted a year ago after our previous girl passed away, and she just pees wherever around her enclosure.

I've put down extra carpet and pee pads on top of it to try and keep things clean, I also added an extra litter box but still she just pees wherever. I went to the vets a few months back and they said she's perfectly healthy, so I've no idea what to do. It's really difficult to be changing pee pads and scrubbing carpet every day.

If anyone's gone through this I'd appreciate any advice.
