I adore them. They are beginning to tolerate me 😂.

This loss has been exceptionally hard because it was so sudden. Even if I only had her for 16 months she leaves such a little void.

I found Ruby last summer under a car in my neighborhood. It took about three weeks of daily visits with treats before I was finally able to catch her. With no intention of keeping her I set her up temporarily on my porch until we could treat her fleas and then move her into my office. She was underweight and overall in rough shape. Nearly all of the local shelters were full and after caring for her for a few weeks I grew to really love her.

We decided to keep her and get her spayed. The vet couldn't really determine an age and I couldn't get anything useful from the neighborhood I found her in who were all quite indifferent to her. It took a few months for her and Harrison to work out their relationship, but she ultimately adored him.

She wasn't an energetic bun. She was quite, gentle, and finally opened up to ask for pets, but never made big stinks.

Sadly, yesterday morning around 7:00 AM we noticed she wasn't very interested in her morning pellets so we administered some baby gas drops and tummy massages as we had done before, but this time around the early afternoon she wasn't better. The rabbit specialist wasn't in at my vet and we called 5 more vets around and none had the resources to see rabbits. We tried to feed her some critical care and water and then around 7:00 PM took her to an ER for pain medicine and fluids. They also didn't have a rabbit specialist so we took her home and kept her as warm and comfortable as we could. This morning her normal vet took us in 30 minutes before they even opened and set up fluids. X-Rays didn't seem to show any blockage, but her bloodwork wasn't good. Sadly, she would pass from her hearts shortly after. They believe there was an unknown condition and that the G.I. stasis was a symptom and not the cause. Ultimately, I feel some level of comfort knowing we tried our very best to save her, but it sure hurts to lose her and so very suddenly.

I loved my little Ruby - Ruby Booby, Rubles, Rutabaga, Rhubarb, Roo, Roo-Roo - she was my little princess. It hurts terribly and I miss her dearly. It saddens me that she went through such a tough life, but I'm so very grateful that I was able to make her last 16 months pleasant with a bed of her own, unlimited hay, treats, food, binkies, and pets. I'm so grateful she let me catch her.

Thank you for letting me share this.

he is the sweetest thing on earth. he loves to flop over and get full body massages 🥰

My little lady (on the right) was showing early signs of GI stasis. Lethargic, not interested in food treats or water. We’ve been through this before almost losing her, we have rushed right to the emergency vet in previous situations but this time I feel like it was caught early. I came to the sub to check for home remedies and saw lots of people recommending baby gas drops. I went to the pharmacy to grab simethicone drops and gave them to her right away. Within an hour she was using her litter box and back to eating hay. Our vet has never brang up using gas drops, without this sub our lady could’ve been in a much worse situation then she is in now. Thank you all :)

It feels silly asking but I wasn't sure if this is her running around happily or if she was upset about something and thats why she was kicking the air. I'm just so used to her doing tiny binky hops for her food and husbun.

….or wishing for more bananas idk

i have 7 house bunnies and i wanted a place to share their photos and videos. am i weird? my tiktok is lovefromthebunnies.

Nine years with this sweet boy and he still snuggles against me on the sofa! Thank you Bunji, for “gotcha”-ing me nine years ago 💙💙💙💙

maple is a rescue and doesn't like being petted very much. she started shedding like 3 weeks ago and she's only gotten off the fur off that allows me to touch. i love my little weird looking girl

Not sure how it happened, but my boy managed to fracture his leg. I was able to get him in to the vet the same day I noticed him limping, but I had to drop him off this morning to get his cast, and then pick him up again.

So we're three vet trips and $1,117.38 in at the moment. The vet wants me to bring him in once a week to assess the cast, and in four weeks get another x-ray.

He's doing well, still a little high and keeps spacing out while eating hay. If anyone has any tips for stopping him and his bondmates chewing the cast, I will take them.

Hey all, i see plenty of ideas for enrichment using pellets, greens etc but I really dont see a lot of hay enrichment ideas. Our rabbit loves the hay stuffed toilet roll and eats hay 95% of the time so much quicker with this method, we dont want to have to use pellets or greens always for obvious reasons, ive also seen using twine and suspending toilet rolls etc, just really seeing if there are any ideas out there that you dont easily come across really! Thankyou 😊

Also bun tax included (always forget but the boy is toooooo gorgeous to not show off)

So I have a bun who has been having these messy runny poos for about a year and half and we finally found a good vet that knows what’s going on. He has a sort of harmless bacteria in his gut and in his poo that causes poopy butt and loose stools. Also he never does these in the litter box so my room is constantly a poo mess if I don’t stay on top of it. Back to the point. We tried Benebac(?) and that didn’t work and luckily that one tasted good so he took it willingly. The new med we’re trying, he doesn’t like the taste of and has to be fed like 4 small syringes worth twice a day. Unfortunately my buns both hate being picked and I can’t find a solution around it. If I can’t grab him quickly and immediately, I have to chase him around which we both absolutely hate and ik stresses him a lot. This process twice a day is taxing on both of us and I’m worried if this med works that he’ll be on it the rest of his life. I can’t gradually get him used to the pick up process bc he needs these meds immediately and it could take weeks to months to get him used to that. I also don’t know the best way to get him used to the pickup process. When they’re eating I try to slowly put my hand underneath their belly and occasionally lift them for a second or two but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten. I’ve also mashed banana into his medicine and he won’t take it willingly still even though my buns like bananas quite a bit. Is there an easier way I can go about this without stressing my rabbit out so much. I’ve seen a few people mention leaving him on the ground and tucking his butt against their armpit as they feed him but my bun won’t stay still for that and will run away. He also doesn’t like being pet very much, only on his behind occasionally so I’m really at my wits end. Does anyone have some advise. I could really use it, I’ve scoured the internet and I’m truly lost. Nari is the black bunny in the pictures who’s been having the problems.

I switched shelfes and before she could go under the shelf, now she can't. So I guess I don't get to put any think on the bottem shelf, since this is her spot now.

PS: They both don't chew cables, thank god. But I will definitely cover it on the weekend.
