Haiyah! So cute! lion head always look furry biggrin.gif

Actually i feed them unlimited hay, pellet (hagen brand), carrot, pineapple juice...... biggrin.gif i give them very simple food cos i know that bunny is very sensitive toward their diet, sight change of their diet can caused them up side down.. rclxub.gif ..i think because i feed them small amount of pellet only to prevent them of having hair ball problem.......their is why they r not so chubby...... tongue.gif

hi, would like to check with u all why my bunny fur keeping on dropping? at first i thought it was just seasonal, but i observe this happen since few months back. i bring her to the vet and the vet told me most probably lack of vitamin and advise me to give her quality pallet, but my other bunny has exactly the same diet with her but does not face fur dropping problem at all, may i know how to stop my bunny fur from dropping? can i change their diet now, like what u all recommend the oxbow pallet, i am so afraid to upset their diet.......as they are hyper sensitive.......thanks and good day

nicoty_yne,

Sorry to hear about your bunny. General rule is, don't simply feed your rabbits anything that they like. And sometimes you just have no choice but to force feed them good food. And get them to eat hay/grass.

I'd like to share my experience... maybe it might help some others, or if there's something wrong I've been doing all these years I can learn from others too.

I have been keeping a pair of rabbits since 2001. That's about 7++ years already. Both of them are still alive today. Their lifespan is supposed to be about 12-15 years so they're 3/4 there already and still going strong. I feed my rabbits normal pellets (local pellet, non branded), and my mom would give them veggies if she has leftovers (uncooked of course!). My father buys them imported Australian carrots and gives them a few slices from time to time (a bit overkill actually but he does it anyway tongue.gif ) and ocassionally they get fruit peels for fruits that they can eat.

Apart from that they much daily on the grass at home (the grass planted in my house is the good quality needle grass type, similar to short hay), and the rest, they roam around the veggie patch at home and eat all the leaves that they like. If there are plants that the rabbit is not supposed to eat, it'll be in a different garden (there's a separator between the two types of gardens in my house). My rabbits are let out into the garden first thing in the morning when my father wakes up, and they've been conditioned to return back to their cage by evening. So they get to play the whole day in the garden (my mom calls it destroying the garden cos they like to bury underground and dig out all her veggie out of the soil), and they're happy. My bunnies also understand me and vice versa.

Proper diet + happy bunny = Healthy bunny

Hope my experience helps...

yes, nicoty_yne, i agree with u. i have my sweeties one year ago and thank God that they don really give me a lot of problem rclxm9.gif . i insist on giving them a lot of hay rather than pellets. of course i feed them small amount of pellet (Hagen brand, but was thinking of gradually changing it to Oxbow which u guys highly recommended) in the morning and the rest of the day, my sweeties will be munching on the hay laugh.gif ........i do give them apple, carrot, pineapple juice which all in small amount only........i know of one rabbit lover who has more than 40 bunnies that only feed on hay (good and fresh quality) and nothing else..........(of course veggie, carrot and fruit will be a treat only) and they all grow healthy and happy rclxms.gif . for me, i think a happy bunny is a healthy bunny.........beside of giving them a proper and good diet plan, exercise is equally important thumbup.gif my sweeties roam in my apartment once i come back from work until the next morning i go to work......i believe bunny generally like to explore, play and hoop around, i am sure u guys have seen them binky all the way.....thus, the bigger the space is, the better is it for them to exercise and do all their binky......of course, the most important is our love towards them, rolleyes.gif my sweeties is no more a bunny for me, they are like my children that i am very concern and care about........ icon_idea.gif

of course, it is very very important to do research and understand the nature of a rabbit.........i know of many people want to have bunny because of their cuteness..........my piece of advice is, do not get 'cheated' by bunny's cuteness, they are cute but does not mean that they are easy to take care (not too tough either), if we are truly care about our sweeties, i am sure that there are so much about them for us to learn...... i would also like to share that bunny generally get stress up very very easily.......for example bunny do not necessary has to take bath......bathing can be very stressful to them, i believe most of our bunnies are kept in hse or even outdoor, we do not put them at a very dirty environment (except for those owner who themselves also not really concern about cleanliness), further, bunny frequently clean themselves and in actual fact, they are a very clean creature. what we should concern most is their cage and the environment that they live in. make sure u wash their cage at least twice a week and pls do not put them to under a hot and humid environment, they will get heat stoke easily. bunny can stand very cold weather but not the opposite.........these are just a piece of advice.......for us, bunny might just play a little role in our life, but for them, we are their everything.......so love yr bunny in a right way and i am sure yr bunny knows .....

I have 2 news to share..

Good news:
After 7 days treatment of antibiotic, BabyDinky's condition is getting better. No white, sticky and smelly discharge from her nose. But she will sneeze everytime she approaches her hay rack. If she sneeze badly, the white discharge will come again. So i need to hand-feed her to avoid her from sneezing. The vet said, maybe she alergy to those alfalfa hay. Some rabbit can get sinus like human also. And i have to continue the medicine for another 3 days, but together with the vitamin.

Bad news:
I found a lump on Daddy's right shoulder. The lump is almost a marble ball sized, hard and red. Small bald spot on the lump. But it isnt attached to his bone or flesh. I suspected it is a banign tumor (it happened to some of my hamsters and it can grows within a nite). I made an appointed with Dr Pillai. Will rush him there after work. Pray for him, ok guys...

I learnt from Nino's death. I always check on my rabbits body to find any lump. And this morning i was so pissed off because i have overlooked Daddy. I should have seen the lump earlier. But everytime i pat Daddy, he will lowers his front body and lays his head on the floor. In this position, the lump is hiding between his shoulder bone and his ear. But this morning, he was busy licking BabyDinky when i touched his neck and find this lump. So shocked + sad + pissed off !!

DaddyDino an active bunny. Unexhaustable when it comes to free-run hour. He can jumps up to 2 feets height cage and landing steadily. And really hope the lump removal procedure will not causing any complication to him. And i have to make sure he wont scratches his surgery wound and comsumes his medicine.

A question here.. How to make ur bunny takes its medicine? I have no problem feeding medicine to Dinky using a syringe (without the needle, of course!). Except when it comes to bitter medicine, i have to hold her tight to my chest using one arm. It's no prob bcoz she still small. But i think i will have a problem feeding medicine to Daddy. He will runs away and struggles hard everytime i try to feed him some vitamin. He even will running away when sees i'm holding the syringe. I'm thinking about adding that medicine in his drinking water but afraid he might not drinks his water. So i think i need somebody to help me holding him tight *sigh*.. Or my last resort is to ask the vet to gives him injection (Alternative for syrup antibiotic. Suitable for stubborn rabbit) <--- my bf will not agree with this. He always reminds me, "No cucuk! No cucuk,"

Please.. pray for him.. I'll let ur know his progress, ya...
*
i am myself do not really agree with injection especially for bunny unless it is out of no choice.. shakehead.gif ......cos injection will stress up bunny unnecessary and mind u , bunny can died if their are under extreme stress or shock. doh.gif pertaining to feeding of medicine, u might 1 2 use a tower to wrap up yr bunny and leave their head outside the tower, this way yr bunny would not be possible to move at all icon_idea.gif . use the syringe insert into their month FROM THE SIDE instead of in front and try to inject the liquid fast and the syringe need to insert deep enough in order for u to do that unsure.gif . this method can ensure the medicine straight away swallow by the bunny.....hope these help.... rclxms.gif

IM STILL WORRYLAA GUY...
my baby wabbits still pee with red to orange to pinky color(i don't know exact colors it is). and they pee a lot with that colors. should i bring them to vet...izzit normal for them to pee like that colors??? sometime s they bring out fluids like sup cendawan yg pekat...??so weird this bunny...
*
since yr wabbits are still so young, my suggestion is to give them very simple food, good quality pellets, alfafa hay and water (this is how i raise my bun bun) icon_idea.gif . pertaining to carrot or fruits, it is just a treat to the rabbit. give them twice in a week with small amount will be sufficient. yr bunny need high protein such as pellets and alfafa hay to grow....do not be surprise that they are very active during this growing period, they tend to eat a lot, pee and poo (big and round in shape) a lot, this is actually indicating that they are very healthy rclxms.gif .....red to orange pee pee, as far as i am concern should be ok, sometime wabbit's pee pee can be in brown colour rolleyes.gif .......pertaining to the milky pee pee......do not worry, it indicate that yr wabbit pee contain high calcium, if they drink a lot, it should be ok. thumbup.gif

Dear all,

would like to check with u all that my bun bun after taking the oxbow pallet, they consume lesser and lesser of the timorthy hay that i use to provide them. is it ok....or is it because of i increase the pallets for them and they feel so 'kenyang' already. unsure.gif .........i increase the pallets because i notice that oxbow pallet is rather smaller in size compare to the hagen brand pellet that i use to feed my bun bun. i buy the oxbow pallets/Timorthy for my adult bun bun.........is the timorthy hay content good enough for my bun bun. hmm.gif ........i am afraid that if they do not consume the hay.....sooner or later will have the hair ball problem........or should i cut down on the oxbow pallet ? pls advice... Thanks and good day... smile.gif
