We lost our covid bunny today

I am so heartbroken and sad. We got this little guy (and his brother) in march 2020. My daughter volunteered to watch them for her teacher over spring break in 2020… Well we all know what happened next. Covid hit and the schools were shut down. That was also her last year there as she was moving on to middle school. So we basically adopted the buns and had to quickly learn how to be the best bun parents. They become family to us. Even our two 80lb huskies loved them. They figured out where their room was and would hop around the house and even on top of their husky buddies. They celebrated holidays with us, had their own stockings at Christmas and were even featured in the family portrait. Needless to say we absolutely loved them. Well one of our boys unexpectedly died today. He started twitching and went limp. My husband held him until he passed, which was shortly right after. We lost our chunky boy. I hate to see my daughter so heartbroken. She loved him so much. We all did.

how can i tell if they’re getting enough milk?

should i be weighing them? before they had fur i could tell by the wrinkles/way their belly looked. i held them up to moms belly to see how they act and they’re all moving from nipple to nipple so quickly it feels like nothing must be coming out and that’s why they’re looking for a new nipple? also, they accidentally got a chance to eat a bite of moms apple and greens- the internet says they shouldn’t be eating this yet, is it ok that they got a bite?! or is the internet wrong and it’s ok to start giving them a little bit? (they’re 3 weeks old)

How do you get your buns to take their meds when too small for juice mixed in and too small and wriggly for syringe to fit behind their front teeth?!?

10 week old disabled bun with suspected E cuniculli on metacam and panacur in hopes to get rid of it and ideally regain ability to use his back legs fully but he doesn’t even seem to notice he can’t use them and we’re happy to keep up the work required in cleaning him if he doesn’t recover so as long as his quality of life is good he’ll be staying with us even if he doesn’t improve. Here’s the issue! He is an awful med taker especially for panacur which is the most important and I’m really struggling to get it all in him and stressing as I know how important it is that I do! I’ve tried swaddling firmly, loosely, picking him up, putting him at eye level so I can see properly, attempting to gently lift his head for better access but still he just shakes his head when he sees the syringe and kicks at me, I get some in but not the full dose which worries me. It’s got to the point where he recognises his set med time daily and actually hopped away from me at such speed earlier I was amazed when I went near his pen 🤣 I appreciate his attitude and energy levels still but I need him to take it!! Any advice on techniques to try, where I’m going wrong or what worked for you would be immensely helpful as we’re not even a week in!

I finally found something that stops the spicy hay problem

I found these online and they actually work (unlike the dumb fabric ones) and they even have cute lil bunny ears in the logo haha. Even my biggest bunny can’t chew through these! I think I lost like 20 phone cables before this hahaha. Now I just need to find something for the skirting boards. What do you guys use to stop bunnies chewing??
