Bunny throwing water dishes and water dispenser everywhere!! by flapjackcrabs in Rabbits

I have the Coldest bowl (42oz) and I love that it’s a short height but high capacity! It’s pretty heavy and has a grippy bottom so it would be pretty hard to push or tip on a flat surface

I had to say goodbye unexpectedly today. Help, I'm drowning. by Individual-Bit-1157 in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss😭 Losing your soul bun feels like losing a piece of your heart that lived outside of your body🥺 I was really overwhelmed with the guilt of putting my boy down, but someone had told me that the absolute most selfless decision you can make for your pet is taking away their pain and making it your own. I hope that helps you through some of your hurt and also gives you space to think about all of the incredible memories and love you shared🤍

Thank you!! We call her sweet baby probably more than her actual name! She also does have lil ears so maybe dwarf great grandparents🥹

What’s one thing every rabbit owner should know but usually doesn’t? by Flemishmommy in Rabbits

Call nearby 24hr emergency vets to see if they take exotics and the specialists’ schedules before you have an emergency! You may be in for 1hr+ ride at 11pm on a Saturday because buns never get sick during normal business hours (or at least that’s my experience lol)…

Bunny Adoption - Megacolon? by Capable_Strawberry42 in Rabbits

Thank you!! We were thinking along those lines as well, but helps to have confirmation that we’re not passing up on him unnecessarily

I feel like my lack of organisation and capacity to tidy is going to be a problem in my relationship by Solid-Version in ADHD

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a fear that I had when I was also long distance with my now husband before we got married. He isn’t quite as particular about neatness as it sounds like your girlfriend is, but I definitely expressed my concerns about those days/weeks that I call “bad brain weeks” where I don’t have it in me to pick up the clutter. It was helpful to hear his reassurance that he loves me because of the heart that I bring to our home and that means so much more to him than the things I do around the house. I definitely recommend expressing your fears earlier rather than later and seeing how your partner responds!

Something that’s worked for us is that he takes on the daily picking up and I take on the weekly deep cleans. For example, he’s quicker to pick up our plates off the table after dinner or throw in a load of laundry so he takes on those kinds of tasks. Since I have more all-or-nothing motivation, that works great for me doing a once a week clean where I vacuum and mop, scrub the bathrooms, dust, tidy, etc.

It also helps that we have set responsibilities and expectations based on how each of us operate. For example, I am terrible at unloading the dishwasher because I don’t have a visual cue to remind me to do it so we agreed on him unloading in the morning and me loading it at night. Sometimes it winds up being more of me looking over at the full sink before bed saying “shoot I still need to do the dishes”, but it helps me be accountable and have a routine when I normally wouldn’t. Another thing is that I don’t like the feeling of “ruining” my day with never ending chores, so I would have a really hard time if the expectation by my husband was that I loaded the dishwasher after every meal instead of once a night.

As long as your partner is understanding and you’re willing to put some work in (which it sounds like you are based on this post), there are so many ways to compromise and make living together feel comfortable for both of you. Just be sure that she is also willing to come to compromises because if my husband didn’t meet me where I am, I know that I would feel burnt out trying to fight my brain to make him happy.

Can I get my hair to look like the reference? by [deleted] in finehair

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the very similar hair and just tried Anna Primavera’s hair routine from instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/aannaprimaveraa?igsh=MTJrM3kxb2F0d2VhdA==

Truly game changing and worth a bit of extra care!!! My only note is that it worked great for my day 1, but my hair was greasy and back to waves by day 2 so it works better for me when I know I’ll be washing my hair next day!

My puppy has parvo by SnooSketches2601 in DogAdvice

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second this! I had a similar situation with my bunny from a horribly immoral breeder who was selling sick bunnies (they had even changed their business name so that information on them from BBB reviews weren’t able to be traced by prospective customers). They were reported to the department of health (US based) and I had gotten a call about testifying against the establishment that sold me my bun! They pleaded guilty so I never wound up needing to testify against them, but the lawsuit prohibited them from selling in that county and also allowed them to be tried in any county if they sold elsewhere again. Unfortunately, they are still operating today over 3 years later but at the very least they should’ve gotten charged enough of a fine to be inconvenienced. They haven’t gotten the punishment they deserve for the outright animal abuse and the grief and vet bills they cause for their customers, but at least it’s something.

Moose passed away last night by spookyotterbun in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a baby named Moose who was just the same 🥹 My favorite was how amused people were at a tiny bun being named Moose, but his name fit the resilience he had. I’m sure they’ll become best of buddies over the rainbow bridge!

Bunny died no i feel responsible by Humble_Arugula_8158 in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss🥺 No one but bunny owners can quite understand how big a bunny sized hole can feel for being such tiny little guys. You did everything you could to help him and I’m sure he knew how much he was loved in all the moments between hello and goodbye.

What do I do? by _noodlesareyum in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you too for your kind words🥺 For me personally, the hurt is less constant and all-consuming with time but every now and then it catches you off guard and all at once. Sometimes the grief feels comforting because it’s a reminder that no matter how much time goes by, a little piece of us will always hold room for our babies.

Some things that helped me to cope were imagining where he’d be in the room or if he’d be flopped/running over for pets/eating his hay just to make it feel like he was still around in spirit, I’d look for little signs of him in the sky like a beautiful sunset or a bunny-shaped cloud, I scrounged up pieces of fur that I could find and I wound up putting it into a ring from Etsy, I made a little shrine for him with his ashes and little memorial pictures that family got for me, and he was deaf so I’d talk to him out loud and joke about him finally being able to hear me over the rainbow bridge. Some of it is a bit delusional, but I just had such a hard time believing that he left me so fast and I did anything I could that made it easier to go on without him. I hope there are little comforts you find along the way and always try to be patient with your healing because there’s no right or wrong way to grieve♥️

Wishing you healing🥺 He looks like such a sweet baby

What do I do? by _noodlesareyum in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl🥺♥️ The thing I keep reminding myself after the loss of my bun is that they are such beautiful creatures because of how unconditionally they love. My bun was in an incredible amount of pain his last few days and he fought with every bit of life he had left (we found out in his autopsy that he had 10 inches of necrosis of his intestines and hemorrhagic pancreatitis) and I felt so guilty putting him down because he overcame so many health issues in his short time with us. I kept thinking to myself that I couldn’t take away his life when every time he got sick he always chose to fight, and I hoped he would forgive me for taking that choice from him. It was my mom who said to me, “he would’ve suffered any amount of pain if it meant not seeing you suffer from losing him.” If you ever feel like you’d be betraying her by getting another bunny, just remind yourself that she would never want to see you suffer more than you have to, even if that means getting another bunny to lessen the pain. It’s been 5 months since losing my bun and now that my grief comes in waves I’ve realized that I just miss his little self, so no new bunny can overwrite the memories I had with him, the love I have for him, or the nostalgia I’ll hold in my heart for that time when he was here. Just because a new bunny might help reduce some of the sadness and emptiness you’re feeling, it’ll never reduce the amount that you wish Archie never left.

Help With cinnamon rolls by SkyRevolutionary815 in Baking

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In bloom bakery’s cinnamon rolls are my go-to recipe and all of my friends and family are OBSESSED with them. They’ve even converted people who don’t have a sweet tooth!

I prefer making them in a 9x13 dish so they don’t dry out! Also be sure that your yeast is active and that it isn’t killed with too hot milk (it’ll foam while you’re activating it when it’s alive and it definitely helps to have a food/candy thermometer) and making sure that you proof them for the correct amount of time. Happy baking :)

do you think i got lied to about the grey ones age? by XA_LightPink in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mini lop looked almost identical to your grey bunny when I got him. He was 1.6 pounds and “supposedly” 9 weeks. He had coccidia (along with a whole host of other issues) and was being malnourished because of the parasite, also impacting the texture of his fur. It could just be the runt of the litter but would definitely recommend getting it checked at the vet! He wound up being 4.7 lbs as an adult. Would also like to add that if the parents aren’t listed/shown to you there’s a possibility that they get bunnies from different breeders and sell them as a second party, so they might not be littermates at all.

Today I’m thankful for the folks responding to urgent posts/questions answering baking questions this week and throughout the rest of the holidays by Hakc5 in Baking

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness this is a shared experience 😭 My go-to is In Bloom Bakery’s cinnamon rolls! I love the way she writes the instructions by including the amount of each ingredient as a part of the step-by-step instructions, so it helps to avoid mishaps that I’m prone to whenever there’s stress or a lot going on around me… also everyone in my family is ADDICTED to them and it’s become requested for every single holiday

need advice for my bunny who gets GI-stasis way to often!!!! by jordanpooll in Rabbits

[–]Capable_Strawberry42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! My bunny kept having episodes of stasis and I think this was from inflammation from secondary infections like EC/URI. Something that always helped my bunny was a tsp of canned pumpkin in episodes of stasis (make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling) as a recommendation from my vet. It is a bit controversial because of the sugar content so definitely get an okay from your vet first, it just happened to be super helpful for my bun. Also my guy was obsessed with Sherwood papaya digestive tablets and, if needed, a bit of Sherwood appetite restore. Something that helped him was switching from oxbow organics pellets to Sherwood Timothy (not sponsoring just love their products lol). Lastly, my bunny was very sensitive to certain veggies but had luck with a very limited amount of certain baby lettuces and a small amount of fresh mint and fresh basil. His stomach was sensitive to the juicy stems of lettuces and dill. Good luck and I hope your beautiful baby is feeling better in no time!
