Bunny

[Mr.September15]

Does my bunny look healthy to you guys?

He/she doesn't look bad at all, erm i'd probably give him/her a big pampering session, bath, groom, nails, eyes. He/she should look fine then, if not, take him/her to a vet. I found bald patches on mine when we were all bathing him, only to realise he had mites so a lil check over is always good, but mites don't really thrive at this time of year in england, tis more summer when they get ya bunny, so always shake hay over before hand.

I would bath his paws in salt water they look yellow to me.

For some reason it looks a little skinny to me, but it must be the way its standing. Im guessing he isnt litterbox trained because of the yellow paws... umm.. maybe litterbox training could help you with the discolored paws, or using a drop tray. Anyways, just my two cents, he is very cute though, I love rabbits, wish I still had some.

 

[Mr.September15]

Yeah you guys are all right

I will give him a bath after I figure out how to cut his massive claws . I had to use towels to bring him in my room, I bought a litter thing but he ate it or chewed on it. And he is skinny even though I feed him everyday.I feed him timothy hay, 1carrot, and the dry pellets. But He's still a skinny thing

Well claw clipping is a bit difficult, i hold my rabbit on his back (if you hold them on their back n stroke their belly the start trancing) this takes two people to restrain my naughty bun bun.

As for bathing, i find it's better in the kitchen sink as my rabbit jumped outta bath n pulled out his dew claw. Which look painful

The yellow stains, i'm guessin your bunny lies in his toilet area, as mine does that alot ¬.¬ ...unfortunatly...so he eventually does become very smelly and raggy.
A way of keeping the odour away is using cat litter (the wood pellets) absorbs more urine so therefore a cleaner cage. (just place a generous amount under the wood shavings.

Cleaning eyes can be difficult depending on rabbits personality, mine will let me do it, but it really does depend on the rabbit.

Hope this has helped.

What rings alarm bells for me is that your rabbit is well fed and is still skinny (by your words). This would suggest he needs a trip to the vets to me, to check there isnt an underlying condition there preventing him gaining weight. He's got a bit of staining/mess on his face, has he been snuffly?

 

[Leopard-danio]

I think it would be wise to have him booked in at the vets for a general check up. Oh btw is it an indoor rabbit or outdoor?

The thing is my parents keep bringing him out and in. In the summer he stays outside because it sometimes gets too hot inside. And in the winter he goes in since its freezing outside.

If he's skinny his teeth might want trimming, when you cut the claws just wrap the rabbit in a towel.

He looks alot like my rabbit yours does, except mine has black markings instead of brown, you can tell if rabbits are underweight when they are wet, can't really tell when they are dry, mine looks a lil skinny when he's wet but he gobbles his food.

That's him there^
