It depends. Some rabbits can recover in a few days, others take months. There are various factors that influence the timeline here, but I want to really hammer that fact that it doesn’t really matter. If your rabbit hasn’t recovered within the two weeks that is the norm for recovery times, it doesn’t mean they … Read more
I’ve written this post because head tilt is pretty common in rabbits, and it can be very scary for rabbits. There’s not much information out there that outlines the best ways to keep rabbits contained, safe, and fairly clean. My rabbit had a pretty severe case of head tilt, so I have decent experience in … Read more
E. Cuniculi is a parasite that can cause head tilt, paralysis and even death in pet rabbits. It can be a terrifying thing to witness in your rabbit. I know, because two of mine have had bad cases of it. So I’m going to start by saying that both of them survived it, despite one … Read more
Yes, yes they do. And here’s the important thing that I need you to understand: if you have a bunny that likes to chew wires, you CAN’T train it out of them. Ok, ‘can’t’ probably isn’t true. Some rabbit could probably learn not to chew wires, BUT chewing is part of being a rabbit. It’s … Read more

I want to preempt this article by making sure that everyone’s clear that it can take a long time to build trust with a rabbit. They’re prey animals. They have no idea what your intentions are. Some rabbits trust freely. I fostered a rex once that had no fear of anything. She’d been living in … Read more
Rabbits don’t need much to be happy. They can have hours of fun with a paper bag, for example. But it’s important that, as house rabbit caregivers, we learn how to treat our rabbits so that they can be happy. That sounds obvious, but it wasn’t that long ago that we thought it was perfectly … Read more
It’s scary when rabbits go into GI stasis, but with a bit of forward planning, it can be treated at home. Seeing a vet is always a good idea, but it’s still a good idea to have a few home remedies in those times that vets can’t be reached. Before we start, I do a … Read more
