angelicism posted:So I left the US several months ago and had to leave my bunnies. A dear friend took them in, and since she had a bunny already (and LOVES animals), I knew they'd be in great hands. Bitsy and Paterson died within a short period of time. Paterson died first and then Bitsy a few months later. I think that when they have been together for so long it just happens  I'm so sorry for your loss but know that you were a great owner and that they were well taken care of!

Karandras posted:Normally if I'm on the floor or he's at head height in any way he'll lick my forehead for minutes at a time and he's pretty good at coming when his name is called so I thought he figured I was a bigger bunny than him but goddamn that little jerk, okay fine. He was just trying to make you feel comfortable with him so that he could slowly take over...

Karandras posted:A couple of weeks ago he nibbled through a garbage bag, dragged out a chicken wing bone, cracked it open and ate the marrow. I was so paranoid he was going to get sick but, nope, full of poop and energy like usual. Maybe that gave him the taste for blood and now he's after me, the biggest chicken of all. Bitsy used to try to sneak / steal / seek out meat D:

I'm so, so sorry that you lost Thumper. I want you to know that after Paterson died it took a few days but Bitsy adjusted. I gave her some extra attention for the first few days and then she started coming to me more and I backed off a bit and let her do her thing. I think that I projected my feelings of loss onto her which made me sadder.

monsieur fatso posted:Well, it turns out there was cause for concern. When I had gotten home from work yesterday, there was still all of the food that I had left her for breakfast in her bowl, and she was just laying in her cage. She wouldn't eat any craisins (her favorite snack), and she wouldn't really move at all. She also wasn't drinking any water, and she hadn't pooped at all from what I could see. She would eventually leave her cage, but she would just go to one of her favorite spots in the apartment, and end up laying there. Every once in a while, she would stretch for a little bit, but then continue to just lay there. Can you try to give her some warm water in a syringe as well? The order that I would do it is medicine, warm water, CC. If bunny wasn't into the CC I would add something to it... maybe some fresh pineapple juice or some squash babyfood.... something sweet that would encourage eating it. I wish you luck.

I'm glad that Bob found a home! You guys did really well by finding him. It's sad that someone would ditch him and sad (though amazingly good at the same time) that random strangers would treat him better than those who got him as a pet in the first place.monsieur fatso posted:I've never posted a picture of her in this thread, so here's her introduction. I'm SO glad that she's doing better! Also that's kinda how I pictured her I got my dog guys and it's really funny and kinda weird because he exhibits behaviours that I saw in Bitsy (need for escape and being naughty) and Paterson (goofy and silly) and it's pretty great. Though it has made me kinda sad a few times because when I was eating my apple he I realised that he probably didn't want any and that's a thing that I used to share with my babies. He does like the same toys though. And cardboard boxes. So it's not ALL different. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about GI Stasis every again. But those of you who have rabbits: consider yourselves spoiled by their lack of RANK TOOTS.

Paterson had me in the 2k+ per week club  That was the week that he ate carpet and went into stasis and my mom took him to the vet and said "do everything on this list including x-rays and possibly a sonogram.

I've had numerous people tell me how great rabbit poop is for plants and compost. They said to just be careful because it can be SUCH good fertalizer that it might raise the temperature of the soil.

She's really smart and wants to be more efficient. Dvorak is boss and I spent a long time trying to learn it (somewhat successfully but switching computers hosed dat up). If you were more efficient that wouldn't be a problem.

It happened to Paterson sometimes. I gave him a butt bath and cut back on his herbs and it was okay... it was mostly things being too watery and making his dookies watery as opposed to coming out harder. Also bunny thread this is my dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Mrd9Oa25o Look at that killer.

I'm so sorry for your loss I have BP ashes in my closet right now. I might spread them somewhere when I move I dunno. I miss my babies. Just remember that really there's nothing that you can do sometimes. They're not easy pets and they go from fine to dead in pretty much no time.

Condolences Stasis is really horrible, usually because of the pain caused to bunny. Sonda didn't suffer and lived a good life. Hop free, Sonda.

FreelanceSocialist posted:I can grab some pretty premium hay from the barn I am working at. I'm reading up on veggies now - sounds like carrots are a sometimes-once-in-awhile thing and spinach/kale should be limited. I don't know if the rabbit was on pellets previously, so I guess we'll see what kind of a mess comes out of the back of him with this new diet. With hay it probably won't be so bad

Yeah loving rabbits. Trimming my dog's nails really sucks because there's no magical "turn him on his back and he goes limp" position.

FactsAreUseless posted:I could never figure that out even when my vet showed me. When I tried it he'd just flip his poo poo. I just couldn't ever trim my last rabbit's nails. Fortunately they never caused him any problems. When I was at the vet I said "can you file his nails too?" Thinking that well you cut them why not just bevel them a bit right? And the woman looked at me, rolled her eyes, and said "that's what concrete is for". Bitch he's wearing booties. Do you think that my apartment has concrete floors?? I guess the main difference between bunny claws and dog claws is that my rabbits were never like "oh my play style is to scratch you and every dog I meet bc that makes sense".

monsieur fatso posted:NIC cages are on sale on Amazon (at least they were yesterday) so I ordered a couple to finally give my bun a real home. What do those of you who use them use for the bottom of your cages? Like the flooring? I would try to have carpet or blankets in there but never bothered with any kind of actual flooring - especially if your bunny uses the litter box somewhat regularly.

I think if you have two young cats you should focus on them more than getting ANOTHER pet - especially one that is high maintenance. You are definitely making the right decision. Two young cats should be enough to really keep you busy - adding a bunny to that seems like a bit much.

I'm so sorry for you loss, especially at this time. You did right by her and all your buns even if it doesn't seem like it right now. Head tilt is nasty and neither of mine made a fully recovery. The level of care she would have needed while you were gone would have been too high for anyone who isn't a bunny master, and her passing peacefully in your arms was the last kindness you could do for her. I hope that you are able to enjoy your wedding with your evil darlings all looking down on you. Message me if you need any support, I would be glad to listen even if it's just a message to get things off your chest. You were a great bunny owner and they are all lucky to have had you. Be well

Muahahaha I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that hay, anticipating illness, treating illness, and EVIL EVIL devil child stuffs anymore. Earlier today I told my friend that something was in "the bunny room" even though there has never been a rabbit in this apartment, let alone that room, and I haven't owned one for a year. Makes me kinda sad, but also somewhat relieved. Here's a dog. He eats whatever, and can throw up (he even eats that!), and I don't feel under constant threat of my evil creature dying.  Also he cuddles and kisses me and is pretty much indestructible.
