I may have spoke too soon. Turns out her water bottle started leaking and that's why it was empty. The puddle had dried overnight so I didn't know, but when I refilled it...water everywhere. So I put in the backup water bottle and another crock of water.
She must be drinking SOMETHING or I'm...
Well the good news is that she drank all her water last night and ate all her food this morning. Hopefully this was just a temporary thing and she can put some weight back on now.
No chance of her being pregnant now.
Last night she hardly touched her water in either the crock or the water bottle and only ate about half of her food.
She is still behaving normally and is filling her litter box with normal waste.
I will try feeding the oatmeal in the mornings and see if...
I'll start of by saying that my EA doe is still very active, her poops are normal, and she seems quite healthy except for the fact that she is losing weight. I don't have a scale so I'm not sure how much but her spine is feeling bonier.
She used to eat 1/3 c of 18% protein pellets every morning...
I'll hold off on that - she's been showing a bit of damp fur under her nose the past few days. If she's got some respiratory thing happening I don't want to spread it!!
I am on Facebook, but I haven't seen those posts. Which groups? The only one I've seen listed was a REW in Vancouver, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm going to be away for 10 days in July, so don't want to try her again right now because the timing would not be very good. I'll be...
Two misses for Annabelle (with 2 covers the first time and 4 covers the second time). :(
I am actually suspecting that my buck might be sterile (which would just take the cake after all the money I spent on his surgery, etc). Unfortunately, there are no other English Angora rabbits in the...
Well...maybe not... I woke up to this. Sorry for the blurry pic, no coffee in my system yet, but that is a huge mound of fur she pulled over night. She also spent a bit of time haystaching while I made my coffee. We're on day 19. :oops:
I really hope she's just an early nester, but if she's...
My doe has made it to day 18 with no early nesting (in her false pregnancy she nested on day 17). I tried palpating on day 13 and was pretty sure I felt something. I think we'll be having bunnies on or around the 29th. Hooray!!
:pinkbunny: :pinkbunny: :pinkbunny: :pinkbunny:
Thanks everyone! I just have been realizing that I don't have the time she needs to truly feel at home here. She wants to be the boss, but she also needs someone who can devote a lot of time just to her. She never really "warmed up" to our household (which is kind of sad because she was the one...
I came to the realization last night that one of my two pet bunnies (lionhead crosses) needs to find a new home. It's not an easy decision for me, but I can no longer house the two littles (as we call them) together. They are fighting and the more dominant one is starting to cause injuries to...
Yes, I've been reading that too, so I'm concerned that she didn't have a litter the first time. If it's a no go again this time I'll be looking for another doe, which would be sad because she is really beautiful.
Hi Funnies,
She is an English Angora and she's super sweet. She had her ears clamped down because it was a little windy and she wasn't too happy about being outside.
Tried to get a picture of the banding in her fur, but the light was wrong and I couldn't use the blow dryer and take a pic at the same time because she kept moving.
