A rabbit sleeps very deeply but is also alert. They go into a state of REM but can wake up instantly. Their sleep pattern is referred to as a paradoxical sleep pattern. Rabbits do go into a deep sleep when they are napping.

Trichanthera foliage is relatively rich in protein, (13 to 22% DM), most of the crude protein is true protein and the balance of amino acid appears to be good; the ash content (often more than 20% DM) and more specifically the calcium content has been found to be particularly high compared with other fodder trees, which may have potential for feeding lactating animals (Rosales, 1997) it is recommended that it should not make up more than 50% of the animal’s daily intake.
Trichantera is excellent forage for ruminant animals and rabbits. It can also be used as a live fence and a shade tree. Farmers in Colombia have used Trichantera as an indigenous medicinal plant to treat conditions in humans and farm animals. The leaves are highly palatable and digestible.

Sweet boy Oreo came in for a visit at the clinic and enjoyed his science selective rabbit treats. I think this was the best part of the visit for him.

How many times does a bunny twitch it’s nose?
Rabbits have sensitive nostrils and a good sense of smell. There are 20-25 vibrissae in each upper lip. In healthy rabbits, the nostrils are constantly twitching at a rate of 2-120 times per minute, unless the rabbit is at rest
It’s a fact……sleeping next to somebunny you love

Sweetpea is demonstrating how to be a good bunny and eat your hay. An ideal bunny diet should consist of 80% hay (Timothy, Oat, Alfalfa and Orchard).
•Helps keep teeth worn down
•Keeps the digestive system moving
•Encourages the grazing behavior for them
•Allows healthy gut flora and strengthens their immune system
•Plus they are so cute eating hay 😍
Like other pets, it's important to take your rabbit to the vet regularly so your vet can make sure your furry friend is healthy and treat any health problems before they become more serious.
Sweet pea is living her best bun life……

The best way to ensure a successful vet visit is to remain calm – your rabbit will be able to sense fear or anxiety, which will make them feel nervous and unsafe. Remember, your vet is always there to help you, and your pet’s wellbeing is their priority.

Rabbits are clean animals and will groom and wash themselves. Companion rabbits will wash and groom each other too. You will need to groom your rabbit frequently especially during a moult to remove all the hair they shed, but even during a moult you do not need to bath your rabbit.

Are snuffle mats safe for rabbits?
Snuffle mats are great for helping to promote natural foraging behaviours as well as keeping your rabbits entertained. I hid some of sweetpea’s Supreme Petfoods house nuggets, pieces of Fibafirst treats and dried forages in it.

"Scanning" or "tracking" is a vision-related rabbit behaviour that can cause concern in those unfamiliar with it. Some rabbits will sit and weave or sway slowly back and forth. They appear to be causing motion in order to see an object that is within a short distance of themselves.
It turns out that it is more common in red eye bunnies, but has been seen in a couple of non-red eye bunnies as well. Usually the bunny will be sitting upright and the head will kind of weave from side to side. If you look closely, you will see that they are eying or looking closely at something, switching from one eye to the other in his gazing at it.

Assisted feeding after surgery
Neo is being fed critical care post surgery by Dr Sue before being discharged. This help to maintain gut motility, stimulate appetite and aid in recovery from anesthesia.
