nice setup for bambi, she must be enjoying her new bungalow!

how's her litter training coming along? nice potty you got for her

lol, maybe its a new cage, so she's busy marking it as hers you can move her hay and pellets nearer to her potty, if she can sit on her potty and reach her food at the same time, that will help cos they usually poo when they eat and soon, she'll get the hang of it

scare of height ?

Added on June 15, 2008, 7:01 pmguys...i need to know about soft stool for bunny...i know that normal time for  bunny to produce soft stools early in the morning and late night... they will eat directly from the anus..is the soft stool have very bad smell? how long normally they will produce it?? 2 hours? 3 hrs?my LULI produce a lot of it and sometime the soft stools will stick to his hair..and will mess the hair...

When a rabbit produces excess soft stool (cecals), the first thing to do is to examine its diet. A diet high in protein is usually the cause of excess cecals (barring any health problems).

What kind of pellets is Luli eating? Is it alfalfa-based pellets? Are you feeding Luli alfalfa hay as well?

Generally, it is recommended to feed baby rabbits with alfalfa-based pellets and alfalfa hay, as alfalfa is high in protein and a baby rabbit needs protein for growth and to strengthen its bones.

But some baby rabbits are sensitive to too much protein. In this case, you can replace alfalfa hay with timothy hay and see if there's improvements (hay is the most important part of a rabbit's diet and the fiber in hay helps to ensure a healthy digestive system).

If after switching to timothy hay, Luli still has excess cecals, cut down on alfalfa based pellets and switch him over to timothy based pellets slowly (i.e. if now he is eating 100% alfalfa pellets, give him 75% alfalfa and 25% timothy pellets, and slowly increase timothy pellets while decreasing alfalfa pellets). Changes to a rabbit's diet must be done slowly to allow time for its digestive tract to adjust to the change.

to reduce the smell of pee, you can add a few teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate into Bambi's litter, i tried this before and it works (cheap too!  ). I also tried recycled paper litter, can't remember the brand now, but pet safari sells it, it comes in a few different colours (grey, pink, blue), it works well too in reducing odour. And after their spay & neuter, their pee no longer smells 

Luli eat pallets contains
Crude protein = 17%min
crude fat = 2%min
Crude Fibre = 20%max
Moisture 13%max
Phosphorus = 0.5% min
Calcium = 0.8-1.5%

alfalfa hay contains
Crude protein = 15%min
crude fat = 1%min
Crude Fibre = 30%max

both bought from Beh&Yo shop...

Your vet is rabbit savvy. Probiotics is good particularly the one by the name of BENEBAC. It is a gel like probiotics that can be given to the rabbit. I normally swipe a little on baby rabbits' mouth. They will freak out at first but soon lap em up.

probiotics basically helps with striking a balance in the stomach between good and bad bacteria.

Hope she stop those excessive cecal soon. Through my research, it is quite common for rabbits that has left their mums too early to have this problem. Normally between 6 to 8 weeks the baby rabbit will eat the cecal from their mums. And for those separated from their mums earlier, this phase of their lives are taken away. So, they find it a little difficult to strike a balance in the stomach on their own.

hi, i really learn a lot after reading all the posts pertaining to the topic of bunny soft stools. From the first day i have my bun bun, i learned that they hv a very sensitive stomach, that is why i control their diet from the very early of their age (from 3 months onwards). i give small amount of pellet for them to fill their stomach and the rest of the day they will munch on the unlimited hay, timorthy hay to be exact. i do not simply introduce them other food, only stick on pellets, hay and water. eventhough my bun bun is not really fat, but they r fit and do not give me any health problem......i always believe hay is important, in fact very important to build up bun bun digestive system. campare to pellet, hay is more natural and should give bun bun a lot of them to munch. my two one year plus bun bun only now start to have the papaya tablet, one a day and their r perfectly fine with it. i think yr bun bun have too much protein, u can hv a try on timorthy hay (lower protein content) and slowly cut down the pellet, bun bun above 6 month need to gradually change to timorthy pellets. stick to simple diet plan, give them unlimited hay, water, exercise and of course, yr love.....hope this will help         

I believe Bambi feels threatened, that's why he stomp. That's a normal behavior for rabbits to tell others that danger is near. Make sure you take this seriously because it is stressful for her and if the "threat" comes near, she may get shocked.

I think giving ice cubes is just temporary measure. Don't you have a place which is shaded well? or better have a fan to help circulate the air?

As my rabbits are apartment pets, i cant always take them to the ground, so i made some renovation to their 'house'..

Wah.. nice setup. Lucky Bambi will be very happy..!! U have a big compound there. Mind to let us to play in your compound too?.. hehe kidding!

Sprinkles seems alright for now, although the whole of yesterday she was hiding under a cabinet in the garden instead of digging, and she kept running to Proudfoot's grave (that spot is Proudfoot's favourite digging spot) although we've covered it up with loads of heavy pots so that Sprinkles doesn't dig it up.

Up till the moment Proudfoot died, we've always let Sprinkles play with Proudfoot or at least rest near Proudfoot's cage when Proudfoot's resting in it. She knew Proudfoot was going to go. And when Proudfoot died, we put her body on the ground, and Sprinkles came over to the body. This part was especially heart wrenching for me and my mom. Sprinkles came over to Proudfoot, sniffed her, and then she nuzzled Proudfoot's head lovingly, groomed the head slightly, kissed Proudfoot's forehead before bounding off...

KENJI > Haha.. i cant imagine if we do a rabbits gathering in a big compound and see all onwers chasing their bunnies. I cant even imagine Bebee chasing her 12 bunnies at the same time. She definately bising to kcng to help her chase . Sori Bebee, just joking... If there is any gathering, i wont bring my bunnies along laa.... To far... They'll get stress. But i definately go home with poeple's bunny (kidnap!). Maybe Sangterap's Holly Hope? Or maybe a cute HL from Beh's farm? Hehehe...

HAHA me too. Kidnap others' before they kidnap mine....
