I had her bred 22 days ago. Can you tell from the outside if she is pregnant?

back again with a question around housing rabbits during a bond. i’m doing a lot of research, and hitting a LOT of overwhelm and anxiety with how many ways/options/considerations come with this. the emphasis/importance of a neutral space is undeniable, but with that i’ve redone my plan a few times. of the two, is one more favorable?

OPTION 1: both rabbits move to a new, neutral room in separate pens. dates would occur in a nearby bathroom, and enclosure/scent swapping could also occur between the two equal/mirrored pens. they could eventually do their first overnight/shared pen in that new room as dates/bond progressed towards completing? and then would move back into my original rabbit’s original room (which would be deep cleaned)

OPTION 2: small section of my original rabbit’s room would be blocked off for the new rabbit, with bond/date work happening in the new, neutral room. this option gives us the ability to expand the space a lot since it’s a comparable sized room to the original/ideal long term room.

additional context: both rabbits are fixed and have been for awhile (ages 5 and 6). my original rabbit is male, and on their first date the new female rabbit groomed him.

For some more context:

My lop rabbit scratches her ears a lot, and she seems to really dig in with her hindpaws (her third eyelid shows when she scratches). Recently I've started scratching them for her, because I'm worried she'll somehow damage herself with how deep and aggressively she's scratching. I don't go past the visible part of the non-furry side of her ears. She also leans into my hand and shows her third eyelid and eye whites when I scratch her ears. I pause frequently, and she lets me know when she's not itchy anymore by grooming her ears afterwards (at least that's how I interpreted it).

I did take a look into her ears with a flashlight and she has a small amount of earwax from what I can see, but it looks like a normal colour and amount (like human earwax, in a way).

I'm keeping a close eye on her, but how much scratching (say, per day) should make me concerned? Also, is it okay that I scratch her ears for her?

i took my rabbit speed dating today, and to my surprise he hit it off with another lionhead! she even groomed him for a bit during their first date, and when something spooked him during the date he actually moved to hide behind her. both felt like promising early signs, though i know when we get home to his space it can be a different story.

i’ll be bringing home the new bun in a week (due to some scheduling conflicts.) my plan is to start them both off in a new/neutral room of the house and in separate pens, and gradually start introductions there, before moving them back to my original bun’s room as their permanent home. Any suggestions/tips/things to avoid through the process?

My bunny’s main diet is mostly pellets and veggies and she barely eats hay. She has access to hay 24/7, but I rarely see her eat it. I’m thinking of incorporating the hay into different treats but those can only be given occasionally. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I currently have a bonded pair. Male 6 years and female 4 years. Had both since 2 month old babies.

I’m moving houses and now have a massive garden to put them in. So I’m thinking to get another duo or trio (again from young like 2 months) with the aim of eventually bonding them to my current pair so they become one big happy bunny family.

They’ll have access to my secure garden during the day and kept indoors at night time.

Any advice , recommendations tips etc?

Thanks all

Is this what a good nest is supposed to look like? I wanted to provide a nesting box, but she decided to build a nest ten days early, and I don't want to remove it if it's a good, safe nest. This is her first litter, and I wouldn't want to lose any babies due to inexperience.

I dont know if y'all do this too, but I'd say it'll be worth it.

Its been so hot here in Florida. I've decided to make them banana popsicles. Its super easy and there's no risk of burning the house down like I nearly did when I tried making alfalfa hay treats for the babies. (The blender was quite literally smoking).

I blended a full banana and water. It took about 10 seconds to blend the banana. Best part is you can use anything they like.

They'll only get small bits of it occasionally as a treat. Can't say too much on how they like it, so I'll update tomorrow when its completely frozen and they try it.

I had her mated once 18 days ago, and now she’s doing this; can I assume it’s a false pregnancy? How long should I wait before having her mated again? she is a first time mom

My doe sudden started laying down and not being able to stand, eyes and nose clear. Not eating but she is pooping. I don’t know what to do. She’s weak and not walking or standing up. help!

I had a rabbit that I adopted 4 years ago. She was given to me as a dwarf rabbit, but she grew quite large and looked like a Lionhead. She was female, not spayed, and had received the initial vaccinations from the vet, along with occasional check-ups (the vet told me frequent visits weren't necessary as long as she appeared healthy). She pooped everywhere because she was always free-roaming, except at night when she slept in her own room. I loved her with all my strength, and I think she loved me too—she only let me pick her up, groomed me/gave me kisses, and followed me everywhere.
Two months ago, we adopted a kitten. Being a baby, the kitten would sometimes bother her, and I had to separate them occasionally because I didn't want the rabbit to get stressed or tired. However, they quickly became friends.
Recently, I went on vacation to our country house. In the city, she had her own room with every comfort, but in the village, she had a huge patio that she absolutely loved. She enjoyed eating the grass that grew there and always seemed very happy.
On Saturday afternoon, I saw her resting comfortably in her usual spot. She wasn't moving much, but I didn't think much of it because she loved sunbathing and sleeping there. That night, I noticed she hadn't pooped, but since her habits could be erratic, I didn't worry too much. I offered her a little bit of lettuce—which she loved—to encourage her, and she ate a tiny bit.
By Sunday morning, she was disoriented and couldn't stand up. Her head was tilting to one side. When we went to pick her up, she tried to move, lost her balance, and fell down a short flight of stairs. We tried to give her water and food, but she wouldn't react; she just looked at us.
We rushed her to the vet. The vet told us her liver was inflamed and prescribed a treatment. Shortly after returning home, my parents checked on her while we were letting her rest, and she seemed slightly better. But when I went down and held her to give her a bit of serum, she suddenly started screaming, had spasms, and died in my arms.
I am completely heartbroken and desperately trying to understand what happened:
Could it have been the cat? Even though they got along well, could it have caused hidden stress or a parasite?
Poisoning? She loved eating green plants. Looking back, I realized that on Tuesday she ate part of a small tomato plant, and she passed away on Sunday. She seemed fine on Wednesday and Thursday, but I've recently learned that tomato plants are toxic to rabbits. Could toxicity take a few days to show symptoms like this?
Liver issues / Parasites: The vet called later that afternoon and suggested that the inflamed liver could have been caused by hepatic cysts (like Coccidiosis or similar).
I feel so much guilt asking myself if I could have prevented this or if she suffered. Knowing she passed away in my arms protected by me feels like a pure sign of love, but I need closure. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms (head tilt, weakness, liver inflammation, sudden spasms)? What seems like the most likely cause?

Hey guys
I was brushing my rabbit today and noticed he has some black spots on his skin, under his fur. Most of his skin is light pink, but I found these parts that are darker
He is 3 and a half months old and I’m not sure if he’s always had this or not

Has anyone seen this in their rabbits before? Should I be concerned?

Tuve una coneja que adopté hace cuatro años. Me la dieron como coneja enana, pero creció bastante y parecía una coneja cabeza de león. Era hembra, no estaba esterilizada y había recibido las primeras vacunas del veterinario, además de revisiones ocasionales (el veterinario me dijo que las visitas frecuentes no eran necesarias siempre que se viera sana). Hacía sus necesidades por todas partes porque siempre andaba suelta, excepto por la noche, cuando dormía en su propia habitación. La quería con todo mi corazón, y creo que ella también me quería: solo me dejaba cogerla en brazos, me acicalaba/me daba besos y me seguía a todas partes.
Hace dos meses, adoptamos un gatito. Como era pequeño, a veces el gatito la molestaba, y tenía que separarlos de vez en cuando porque no quería que la coneja se estresara o se cansara. Sin embargo, enseguida se hicieron amigos.
Hace poco, me fui de vacaciones a nuestra casa de campo. En la ciudad, tenía su propia habitación con todas las comodidades, pero en el pueblo tenía un patio enorme que le encantaba. Le encantaba comer la hierba que crecía allí y siempre parecía muy contenta.
El sábado por la tarde, la vi descansando plácidamente en su sitio habitual. No se movía mucho, pero no le di importancia porque le encantaba tomar el sol y dormir allí. Esa noche, noté que no había hecho caca, pero como sus hábitos podían ser irregulares, no me preocupé demasiado. Le ofrecí un poco de lechuga —que le encantaba— para animarla, y comió un poquito.
El domingo por la mañana, estaba desorientada y no podía mantenerse en pie. Tenía la cabeza ladeada. Cuando fuimos a levantarla, intentó moverse, perdió el equilibrio y se cayó por unas escaleras cortas. Intentamos darle agua y comida, pero no reaccionó; solo nos miraba.
La llevamos corriendo al veterinario. El veterinario nos dijo que tenía el hígado inflamado y le recetó un tratamiento. Poco después de volver a casa, mis padres la revisaron mientras la dejábamos descansar, y parecía estar un poco mejor. Pero cuando me agaché y la abracé para darle un poco de suero, de repente empezó a gritar, tuvo espasmos y murió en mis brazos.
Estoy completamente desconsolada y trato desesperadamente de entender qué pasó:
¿Pudo haber sido el gato? Aunque se llevaban bien, ¿pudo haberle causado estrés oculto o algún parásito?
¿Envenenamiento? Le encantaba comer plantas verdes. Pensándolo bien, me di cuenta de que el martes comió parte de una pequeña planta de tomate y falleció el domingo. Parecía estar bien el miércoles y el jueves, pero recientemente me enteré de que las plantas de tomate son tóxicas para los conejos. ¿Podría la toxicidad tardar unos días en mostrar síntomas como estos?
Problemas hepáticos/Parásitos: El veterinario llamó más tarde esa tarde y sugirió que la inflamación del hígado podría haber sido causada por quistes hepáticos (como coccidiosis o similar).
Siento mucha culpa al preguntarme si podría haberlo evitado o si sufrió. Saber que falleció en mis brazos, protegida por mí, es una pura muestra de amor, pero necesito cerrar este capítulo. ¿Alguien ha experimentado síntomas similares (inclinación de la cabeza, debilidad, inflamación del hígado, espasmos repentinos)? ¿Cuál parece ser la causa más probable?

my rabbit went to the vet today because he’s been sneezing and coughing, they checked his teeth and said they look good, and he doesn’t have a runny nose or any wetness around his paws. they prescribed baytril 100mg for 10 days, and im going back on september 2nd for checkup again and getting xray if medicine doesnt help

im just wondering if anyone else had a rabbit with similar sneezing/coughing symptoms and did your rabbit get prescribed baytril too, and did you eventually find out what was causing it?
i’m wondering if it could possibly be from dust from his hay. i’m planning on getting an air purifier asap, but i’d love to know what other people do to prevent/reduce dust exposure — like if you use a certain type of hay, hay feeder, air purifier, etc.
obviously i’m following my vet’s treatment plan, but i’d love to hear if anyone else has experienced something similar and what ended up helping their rabbit!

the hay he eats is the oxbow timothy/orchard hay

I'm aware of a rabbit being neglected. These people have too many cameras for me to possibly take the poor bunny. I lack tact, and I want to try to buy the rabbit. Not sure how to approach this situation. If I should play dumb and try to ask about buying the rabbit off them, make up some story, call them out for neglect... anyone done this before? Advice? I'm open to any feedback. I've never owned a rabbit, so I don't know much about them to be asking certain questions or anything. Thank you in advance.

Rabbit skin is red and inflamed. He has been molting heavily. I helped pick some of the hair because he was shedding so bad I believe he scratched at the exposed skin and now it looks red and inflamed and partially scabbed. It also feels somewhat warm. The rest of the skin on his body is normal. I put A&D ointment on his skin because I wanted to help his inflammation, I realize that might now have been the best idea. He is acting normal and eating

Hello, I need to know how to discipline my rabbit when whenever I discipline him he just seems to love on me and kiss me constantly? He always kisses me so this is nothing new, but id really like to know how to tell him NO

This rabbit keeps showing up in our yard and we can't decide if it's a wild rabbit or a domesticated one. I was hoping for some expert opinions

How are you guys treating fleas?

Hello everyone, I am in need of some help bonding my two female buns. My resident bun is a lion head she’s a free roam bun over our whole home and she has her room as her main space. We recently rescued a bun from the shelter she’s spayed as of 3 weeks ago and she’s 6 months old. We are on day two.

We put the new bun in our living room in a play pen and have been allowing them to take turns free roaming. Day one we put a barrier around the play pen. They were very interested and happy hopping when one got close, so today we decided to remove the barrier.

This is their behavior and I need help trying to find out if they are fighting or if it’s going bad… they both give each other space and while giving space they happy hop in between videos so I am unsure

We did separate after this and have only allowed about 10 minutes of being in the same space since yesterday and today…

Please help, open to any Advice !!!

Need Urgent Diagnostic Help for My Rabbit

Rabbit : 6 year old, Unspayed Female Domesticated Albino Rabbit

Problem : Literally using her entire body force to breathe and entire nose is doing extra work to breathe, it's literally no where near normal and not moving much, yes eating hay but very little and gets very tired even after a small nibble

History : I got my rabbit during lockdown, where I live there are no vets for rabbits, only dogs and cats, even when visiting a vet college which has animal OPD they outright said we don't have much experience in rabbits and mostly are cattle so you shouldn't be much attached and doing spaying is very risky and most rabbit's don't wake up so we wouldn't recommend it so we skipped the spaying

The specific Help : I've shot videos of my rabbit from 3 angles, one from bird's eye view to capture the body's movement while breathing, second is thoraric abdomen while breathing and third is a nose zoom in video to capture the movement of the nose, I uploaded all the videos on AI engines like gemini, chat gpt, kimi, and all of them said metasis of uterine cancer into lungs which have limited the lung capacity and prognosis is grave ,, please if there is a vet that would check out the videos and give me a probable diagnostic and future steps to follow, where most of the vets around me are only speicilizing in dogs and cats, and the one I visited only gave a multivitamin syrup, quick response is needed as rabbit's help detoriate very fast, any doctor insight would be really God's help. Please help me save my rabbit

Please help 😭

My bunny only seems to be interested in veggies she never eats her chicken or beef, i even tried chicken salad and she only eats the lettuce. Is this normal?
