Ella's New Vet

Like any good rabbit, Ella goes in for a physical once a year. This past Saturday marked her first day with a new vet. I cannot begin to tell you how unhappy I am with the service we received. Understandably, I only have her previous vet to compare to, but I am almost thinking the hour drive is worth it.

A list of what the vet did not do that I feel is standard:
Take her temperature
Request a stool sample
Check her teeth
Look at her underside

All the vet did do was a quick run over her body with her hands and weigh her. I made her look at her teeth (she recently chipped one); otherwise she would have blown right past this crucial step.

I will be paying another vet 40 more dollars. I am happy and confident Ella is in good health but I want a vet I trust before Ella gets sick. Cheers to the hunt for the new one.

Spring flowers and bunnies don't mix?

It is about the time of year when flowers start to push through the earth and show their spring colors. If you are planting or bringing in house plants to a place your rabbit plays it is important to be mindful of what plants are toxic to your hopping pals.

The following lists a few of the more common plants your bunny should not eat. Take a more complete look here.



All Lilies
Chrysanthemum
Crocus
Cherry Trees
Clematis
Daffodil (bulbs)
Daisy
Delphinium
Geranium
Gladiola
Hydrangea
Ivy




There are really quite a few. Those are just some I might have in my home. It really is best to check the list.


This is not to say do not own these plants, just be sure and closely monitor your bunny when they are near the plants. It is best to just keep the buns away from them.
