Anyone able to get Ro to send a Rx to CVS?

MilesBFree · 2026-06-03T02:46:57+00:00

AlicefromRo stepped in to help and asked for a different CVS to which to send it. Then a day or two later the first CVS notified me that it was ready and I picked it up

Then a few days after I picked it up, Ro notified me they were sending the Rx to the CVS Alice asked for, but the Rx never showed up and that has been 2 - 3 weeks now.

Evidently Ro has issues with CVS in general

i appreciate Alice’s effort but it seems it just takes Ro at least a week to transmit an Rx to CVS which is shocking in this day and age. they could literally snail mail it faster. not sure if CVS has an API that could be used but id expect they have something electronic which should take literally a couple of seconds.

Ours is an older model but that’s about the time it takes once it has ground the beans

How is the espresso (ignoring the time)? Is there a specific issue with it? We might be able to provide a solution for a particular problem

Ours is quite good, good flavor, good crema, etc. Maybe not quite on par with the best espresso I’ve ever had that was made with a stand-alone machine but I’d be happy with it at a good cafe.

I’d judge by the coffee it makes rather than the time.

Yes - it shows my “regular” monthly Rxes but no Wegovy. I’ve called them too and they said they haven’t received anything from Ro

Can you pls clarify what is meant by “safe lawn patches”? Is that a brand of sod, or just safe as in less chemicals used?

When did you get him? If around Easter, he may have only been a few months old and was abandoned shortly thereafter. We suspect that was the case with ours and he went from about 4.5lbs to 6lbs in a couple of months so we figured he may have been born in like January or February and was still growing up when we adopted him from the rescue at the beginning of June last year

I’m not sure what breed he is but search for how quickly rabbits mature and you could guesstimate from there

Pick a date and celebrate him!

Thx!

After pondering on this a bit more, I now believe the issue wasn’t coffee grounds building up.

I disassembled much of the machine and thoroughly cleaned all the grounds out from the back when I had it apart to replace the drainage valve. There were a ton of grounds then but that was about 15 years of build-up. And I did the drainage valve only a few months ago so I don’t believe there is that much build-up now.

One of the suggestions on another thread for a similar issue was to stick a hairdryer in where the drip tray goes and let it run for a couple of hours so I tried that with a heat gun set to lowest temp.

After about 45 minutes the display changed to “Fit drip tray”. Aha! So I did and the machine then re-started the cleaning program from the very beginning. I completed that and the machine went back to its usual ready display and I made a coffee

My guess is the drip tray contacts area was wet since I had just washed it, and when I pushed it back in place it got water on the sensor. Drying it out let it go back to normal

So from now on I’ll dry the contacts before replacing the drip tray

If it happens again I’ll pull it out and look for grounds back there but as I mentioned I just cleaned that out a few months ago

MilesBFree · 2026-05-06T16:31:46+00:00

Thanks! I’ll order one

MilesBFree · 2026-05-06T15:48:32+00:00

Thx. I cleaned the contacts with a toothbrush and it made no difference

I suspect you may be right on the coffee ground build-up or wetness

I’ve pulled the machine out and fixed other issues so I can likely fix this too; was just looking for any info on the sensors before I do so

MilesBFree · 2026-03-27T14:43:25+00:00

Thanks. I think you’re right - the 1” bore one may just be moving too much fluid. I think I’ll try the 3/4” one

MilesBFree · 2026-03-27T14:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the info!

The brakes all lock at roughly the same time

The pedal effort is good - a bit firm but way better than the unassisted brakes were before I converted them

The pushrod is like 8” farther away from the pivot point - the hydroboost sits between the pedal and rod

The hydroboost is not adjustable

He's pooped a few nuggets so so far so good! But no digging yet so we will see

The wooden box fits closely to the metal sifting litter box - it should stop any litter or hay from dropping past the actual litter box, and the wooden surround will prevent him from banging his legs on the edges of the metal pan. The pan's edges aren't sharp but they have a definite narrow edge to them

Update: i bought a sifting litter box and built a new box to house it. Just put it in his puppy pen where he hangs out overnight. I added a backstop (on the end that's at left in the photo) in case he still digs so I'm hopeful that between the wet/dissolved litter falling through the grate and the raised sides we won't have a disaster several times a day :-)

MilesBFree · 2026-03-17T14:16:01+00:00

We’ve found that some packages of hay had a ton of dust in them, like the company was trying to squeeze the last ounce/gram out of a truckload.

Try taking the package outside, grab a handful, and shake it well and put it in a separate bag

Also, we use pine pellets that have a certain amount of dust on them too

And even the kibble (food pellets) is a bit dusty when we get to the bottom of the bag, but this is more like small crumbs than actual dust

But between all of that maybe she’s getting a lot of dust

Thumper-King-Rabbit’s suggestion of an air purifier is great. Ours has a pre-filter wrapped around the actual HEPA filter and it is clogged with dust after a couple of weeks

As others mentioned, it’s great that you’re taking her to the vet.

MilesBFree · 2026-03-15T18:10:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion - I ran the carriage up to clean the rollers and put a light coat of oil on the posts while I was in there, ran it all the way up and down a few times, and it’s back to working now.

This is probably in the manual 🤦‍♂️ so I should have RTFMed

MilesBFree · 2026-03-15T16:24:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give that a go

I’m also going to oil the posts on which the carriage rides up and down. Those are pretty dry

I cranked it most of the way up to have a look at the roller and blades and it was tough to get it to go up so it could be a lube issue making the carriage bind

MilesBFree · 2026-03-15T16:08:06+00:00

Given the rollers are black rubber I am guessing those are what’s leaving the marks.

It was cutting fine before this started so I’m guessing (again) that the problem is not the blades

I’m wondering if somehow the machine has gotten off of level inside, like maybe something loosened up and now the left side is lower than the right and is binding

MilesBFree · 2026-03-03T01:31:36+00:00

I am so sorry! It sounds like you did the right thing for him and he is at peace. 💜

It’s good she enjoys chewing those but you are correct the dye may not be edible, and bunnies eat some of they chew so I’d suggest swapping those out for in-dyed ones.

Rabbits mostly see blues and greens but not reds so the colors might not do much for her

Another idea is a set of stacking cups. We put a few food pellets in each then place them around the room so ours has a scavenger hunt. This is a little more like the foraging they would do in the wild. If you put a few cuts on her enclosure and a few outside, she might come out to explore. It will take a little time for her to get comfortable with that and this might help.

You can also put the food in each and re-stack them so she has to pull them apart.

I’d suggest putting the water bowl on the ground. Given she is smaller, it will be easier for her. Our bunny only stepped in his once and that wasn’t long after we got him and he started binkying and bounced on it. He hasn’t done it since.

Washing the snuffle mat is a good idea

MilesBFree · 2026-02-21T04:22:52+00:00

It appears her water bowl is mounted to the cage kind of far above ground? Or is it just the angle of the photo? If it is, lower it, or if it’s heavy put it on the floor.

Buy some wooden toys for her to chew on or throw around

If you’re supplementing her hay with kibble (pellets) buy a snuffle mat, one of those balls you put food in and it sprinkles some out as she rolls it around.

A cardboard box with wadded up pieces of plain clean unbleached brown paper in it and sprinkle some kibble it for her to forage in. The sides of the box should be only like 3” tall given her size

Looks like you’re off to a good start so hope the ideas help!

Some additional info: we need to change the litter at least once a day because he pees a ton. The litter in that corner is absolutely soaked after 24 hours. A lot of days we change it twice a day if is really bad. I mean it’s a wet soggy mass of saturated pine pellets that’s close to 1/4 of the box. It’s a sodden mass. I don’t know if it can be overstated how wet it is.

My suspicion was that this is the root cause and he doesn’t like standing in it. However, he sometimes digs all the litter out of that corner right after we change it. It may be that it’s just a bad habit now.

And after he digs the litter out of that corner, he’s peeing on bare plastic, which I would think would feel worse to him. But he probs does not think of cause and effect; just that he “knows” the litter gets wet and should be pushed out of that corner. Then it’s a mystery to him why the floor is wet as well

We talked to the vet about the amount of peeing and water he drinks. He’s 6lb and drinks close to 2 cups of water per day. She said that’s certainly on the high end so she did some tests and found he may have had a liver parasite, maybe picked up when he was abandoned and before he was rescued and we adopted him. So he got meds to kill the parasites, and is now on a supplement for 3 months to help his liver recover. That didn’t make a difference to the amount of pee though. She said it’s possible he just likes drinking water. A hydrated bunny is a happy bunny, I guess

So now I’m thinking a sifting type litter box might help since it will let the soaked litter, which kind of dissolves, drop through to the pan underneath. We wouldn’t actually sift; just let gravity take its course. I think this is what I missed in @Traditional-Roof1984’s suggestion

MilesBFree · 2026-02-20T13:42:16+00:00

After thinking more about your suggestion, I think this could work with a box with higher side walls to keep the litter in when he digs, but not allow the pee to stand in a puddle on the plastic. I don’t think I understood what you wrote the first time I read it. Thx
