Hi Julie, I have a New Zealand White, a big inactive couch potato:). So I do worry about sludge or stones....so far no issues. "Knock on wood" I do not limit his calcium but try to offer a balanced

My bun just went through his first ever bladder flush procedure for a bad case of sludge. I was told that I could expect to see bloody urine. Does anyone have any experience with how long this can

Hi Emma. Thank you for your insights / info. Tokki is probably more on the chilled side. He is free range, but he does spend a lot of time sitting in various beloved boxes. He prob got more

Hey Julie! It's my understanding that bladder sludge is now considered to be an issue of exercise and water intake. The current thinking is that calcium gets shaken up in the bladder through exercise

Accumulation of crystals in the form of sludge or stones is not usually a dietary issue, but rather a metabolic one. Has your vet prescribed something like magnesium and/or citrate to help change the

Hello. My 4 YO mini rex has bladder stones. He had the majority of them flushed out today, and I want to do everything possible to make sure they don’t return, if I can. I have looked around for

i just saw this. i am so glad frodo was able to get some of his vision back. if need be, you can always retrofit his environment to stop him from bumping into hard surfaces. eg by using corrugated

My girls' digging box is full of knotted socks. They love it. Dig, toss, bury. They sometimes use it as a litter box, but that's the beauty of the socks. Throw 'em in the wash.

I probably get a lot of criticism for this, but a shedding blade has always been my grooming tool of choice. I have to take my bunnies outside and put them on a table because huge clouds of fur come

David - this is good advice! Also, we have to consider there are different types of fur and different shedding types. Some rabbits pluck easily (Jersey Wooly), others don't (English angora). Some

I had a mini Rex and found the best way to groom him was by plucking his fur and not using a brush. He came to accept it and appreciate the help. My technique was to pluck with one hand

My favorite is the FURminator for small pets. It gets rid of a LOT of loose fur! Nothing else compares!

I've found that a flea comb works really well. It isn't very long and is easy to maneuver. Good luck! Gabrielle LaManna Educator, New Fairfield, CT

Sometimes for really diaphanous fluff instead of comb or brush the nubby textured silicone glove works well, and my rabbits love the gentle massaging feel. That said though, on my crew it's only

We use the Hair Buster (https://store.binkybunny.com/mobile/hairbuster-p116.aspx ) and love it. We have a Flemmie mix with short soft rollback fur and a very fluffy holland lop with a lot of very fine

I have a bunny with similar fur and found that back brushing him works best. I wasn't able to find any combs or brushes that worked either.

Hello Please can anyone recommend a brush or comb for a rabbit with fine fur? One of my rabbits has short hair and moults a lot. His fur is very fine and without any tangles. I have tried various

I like crumpled brown paper. My bunnies methodically shred it by tearing off little strips and it's much easier to clean up than I expected. I usually just fill a big cardboard box that I've wiped

I've made digging boxes using organic potting soil, sand, and pea gravel. I used an XL storage container and cut 2 holes in it. If you have the space, a plastic kiddie pool is even better. Yes, you'll
