Health Pulled out rabbit tufts. Now it’s red/bare skin. What do I do?

Hi Reddit,

I adopted my bunny a few months ago.
On Sunday I was grooming him and taking out his butt tufts by hand. I was pulling very gently and all of the butt tufts were coming out very easily. There was no resistance. I couldn’t tell while I was pulling them out because his tail obscured the area but I left a bald spot that is a few inches across and wide. His skin in that area is fully exposed now, is pink, and looks like human skin. It’s now 2 days later and a few red spots have emerged on the bald spot. One of the red spots looks rather wet like it’s maybe a new wound. My bunny often scratches himself so I’m assuming that he scratched at the bare skin and left a wound. I have included pictures below. What do I do? Does he need to go to the vet? How do you treat red spots (or open wounds) on bald rabbit skin? He has been acting completely normal and eating and pooping normally as well. I feel terrible. Please help me figure out if he needs to go to the vet/what I can do to help him. Thanks so much!

Note: The pictures of his pink skin are from Sunday. The pictures with his pink skin that also has red spots is from tonight (Tuesday night).

Discussion I’m a witness to Bunny SA

In all the years I’ve had my pair, 5yrold female n male both fixed, I’ve never seen any sexual behaviour from them until now. But the thing is it was my female jumping on the male humping him from behind and the she did it to his face. Oh my poor boy ! I felt so bad about this for him and I have no idea why a fixed female would be doing this. The poor boy is so gentle and this madam just abuses him

I couldn’t get my camera open in time to record it but here’s a generic pic of the pair. Male white. Female black.

Health Is this toe nail normal?

My bun started getting startled? When I touched his back feet where his toe nails are. He was kind of jump and back away from me. I picked him up to examine and saw one of his nails looks like a stump (see video, I know it’s hard to see but I was trying to record and get a good shot with one hand)

Is it normal behavior for a bunny to not like their toes touched? I know mine hates having his nails clipped but I’m wondering if the reflexes are just a bunny thing. Thank you!

TW: death.. unsure if this is allowed here
I don’t cry about it as much as I used to. However, I’m back home where they used to live and I’m finding items at home that remind me of them.
I donated the rest of their food, treats and toys but I haven’t gotten rid of their blankets yet. Still unwashed so hair is everywhere.
Idk… they were attacked by a dog and I’m just grateful it wasn’t as gruesome or gory as it could have been. I didn’t witness it nor am I the one that found them. They looked so peaceful.
I think they were scared for a minute but it was very short lived.
I had the white one for almost 3 years and the brown one for almost 1 year. They were both 3 years old. I miss them so much. Idk. I’ve never loved anything more.
Bonding them was hard but they loved each other.. I choose to believe they loved me too.

I keep finding my bunnies in these “loops” where they continue on for minutes in this position grooming each other. Are they triggering each other?

Question Names?

Just rescued these two girls and having trouble coming up with names. They have an older sister bun named juniper and I was thinking maybe something similar or old lady names. Also any tips on husbandry or diy things for them is greatly appreciated as I will be expanding my current set up to accommodate 3 lil gals :) In the pic that’s the only place I don’t have mats down as it’s their litter area and food area and I was cleaning

I snapped this picture when he was twitching his nose and I noticed his nose was a little red. And now I'm worried because he also makes out small, steady honking noises whenever he comes around me and I don't know if he can breathe okay.

Health Cookie headtilt update

Post image
29 Upvotes

Cookie's head tilt is almost gone, no strange behaviour anymore.

Gave EC and ear infection treatment and will continue to do for the full month.

I have no idea what caused the tilt and ear scratch, and I doubt its ec because he lost most symptoms the same day he got the treatment, ec treatment isn't supposed to act that fast.

He also seems to have some slight facial asymmetry and he looks very slightly tilted but he's not.

Guy feels very well, in fact better than pre-headtilt for some reason (although he started to become better in the past 2 weeks, previously had a few ugly illnesses)

He sploots and flops so darn often now.

Thanks all for the help on the previous post 🤗
