    I think my boy has fleas!!

    Help!

    I was cleaning out his cage when I spotted these little flea-looking bugs, I waved my hand near them and they disappeared! I didn't see it land so idk if it jumped or flew, I'm betting on jumped.

    I checked him but his fur and skin is black, so I couldn't see anything. I have cats and dogs but they don't have any. I did bring home a new bunny though, and she used to go in and outdoors, so it could be her.

    Ugh, now I feel itchy and like I have little buggies all over me!

    Anyone know the typical price for a spay? It's my first time ever having a bun and the prices provided by places seem to range in the $500-1000 😅

    She's about 9 months old now and I'm not sure if she has any issue

    Sneezing when brushing

    Does anyone else’s rabbit sneeze or make some sort of sound when they brush their rabbit? Specifically when the brush catches a knot in their hair

    I found blood where my rabbit sleeps but she’s fine

    Hi everyone! I have a situation I’m wondering if anyone has experienced.

    This morning, I woke up and found blood in an area my rabbit slept last night. She was t there but there was a somewhat large smearing of blood on the floor. She had gotten into a small trash can but it only had some tissues in it. There was a bit of blood on a tissue as well.

    Thing is - she looks fine. I checked her out and she doesn’t have blood on her that I can see (she is mostly black with some white on her). She also ate her breakfast and has been running around normally. Has anyone experienced this or knows what it could be from? She is 4 and was fixed when I first got her.

    Thanks for any help!

    I think my newly adopted rabbit might be depressed

    Hi, first time bunny mom here. I adopted a 2 year old boy 2 days ago. He grew up alone with no companion . I just have some concerns.

    1. He's not eating much and I don't think he drinks enough too

    2. He shows no interests in treats, toys,and not much of hay despite us changing his old one to something better ( he doesn't eat his old one so we thought switching might be the solution)

    3. Though he allows us to touch him, he doesn't go out of his hiding house much to explore despite having a big pen and being able to free roam.

    Not sure if he's depressed, just getting used to things or if it's just his nature. I don't know how to help him and it breaks my heart to see him this way. Getting him a companion would be difficult because according to the old owner, he fights others off.

    We're your adopted ones also this way? Kindly share your tips and experiences. Thank you!

    Why is my rabbit losing so much hair?

    Don’t see any fleas, but he is losing a TON of his coat and it’s blowing off him in chunks.

    He’s eaten a bit of my snake plant and chomped some of my air plant but I’m not sure that’s causing it.

    Rabbit not pooping

    I woke up at 6am to see my rabbit hasn’t eaten and he didn’t eat till 3pm and between them times in was in pain and hunched bit, but he is now eating some hay and veg but he has yet to poop, I have syringed some water in his mouth but other then not pooping, he is completely himself running around, laying down relaxed but no poops.

    I have a appointment for 9:30am at my vets tomorrow I’m just worried something will happen in the night or the time till I go.

    Update: he has done seven tiny poops!! 🎉

    What is the breed of Edward.

    Hi! We have adopted Edward, this adorable creature from a shelter.

    We are looking for his breed and went throught the whole Wikipedia page but nothing looked like a perfect match for him.

    The shelter didn't know his age or his breed as they found him abandoned.

    He is 1,7kg/3,75lbs.

    Also, do you have any idea of what could give us a little hint about its age?

    Rebonding 2 minilops (1 year olds) - Help!

    Myself and my partner are off for a few weeks and thought it would be a good opportunity to try to rebond our 2 minilops. For the last 6 months they have lived outside in 2 different hutches and runs.

    We have brought into our dining room to live beside each other with the hopes of rebonding. For the last week we have successfully handled them onto a small table howver once moved to the floor they fight, scrape and attack each other. There has been bleeding twice now. We are concerned about their well being and safety. Should we continue and risk further injury?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Sanitizer for laundry/washing machine?

    We have 2 bunnies (both fixed) and use towels in their little boxes to absorb the pee. We wash the towels on the "heavily soiled" setting (or whatever it is) and in hot water, but I'm wondering if we should be using some kind of sanitizer either with the load or afterward. It's about a week's worth of towels at a time.
