what does it mean when my rabbit is pressing ur head into my hadd when shes being petted?
i dont know if you can really tell on the picture, but occationally she kinda presses her nose up against my palm. i dont think shes trying to get me to stop because she runs away when shes not wanting to be pet, but i just have no idea what shes trying to say! she doesnt do this all the time, only sometimes when i pet her head
Cecotrophe taste
Sorry for gross topic.
So bunny hasn't been eating all her cecotrophe poos. She usuallys leaves two or three around in the evening which I've read is pretty typical for very young bunnies who are still learning (she's only two months old...)
But today I walked in on her with a piece of cecotrophe in her mouth and half eaten one below her., And I saw her spit it out like it was gross
She's a healthy baby and I'm not worried that she has nutritional deficits, but now I'm curious. Do some bunnies not like the taste of cecotrophe. Does diet affect the taste. What food makes the cecotrophe taste better?
Sick Rabbit
So we have a mini rex we've had for over a year now. Recently these spots started showing up in her cage. I thought maybe it was blood spots, my boyfriend feels like its like diarrhea or soft poops. Its just hard to tell because we have these colored blankets in her cage.
She's been fixed and her diet is consistent. Timothy hay and the occasional fruit treat. She doesn't act any differently. I also checked her for wounds and injuries, I don't see any. She has been drinking a lot more water though.
We took her to the vet today. The vet said she needs to be on a 50/50 diet with pellets and hay. She also said she thought it might be anal leakage from the lack of vitamins that the pellets would supply. She also prescribed meds for a UTI just incase thats the issue.
I hate to discredit a vet but everything I've seen online has said rabbits do better with very little pellets or even a hay only diet.
I'm not sure what to do, I hate to start giving her pellets and she start to ignore the hay completely but also I want her to get everything she needs.
