I thought you said there's a chance of Hazel recovering for the head tilt and its not permanent?

[@animalwondersmontana]

@@WhatDoesntkillYa Yes, there was a chance, but after about 3 months it's looking like it's permanent. We were of course hoping for a full recovery, but we're thankful that he's at least able to have a good quality of life even if the head tilt is permanent.

I already have Skillshare, so somebody else go ahead please. It really is an amazing site, I totally love it.

Seeing the 3 buns together brightened up my morning. I'm always so grateful that you share these moments.

[@olderpennsylvanian-op2368]

This was adorable to see! Happy to see Hazel moving around so well and having the new little guy might help him get stronger too. I encourage everyone to check out the Amazon wishlist for this wonderful organization because with so many animals to care for and supplies to feed and house them, every little bit would help!

[@loam6740]

So glad Hazel is doing better. Big Wig grooming Apollo!!!

[@astaiannymph]

It was very scary seeing Hazel's head go upside down when you picked him up, but he looks so confident when he's on the floor. I'm glad to hear and see he's doing better.

[@Hafcofficial]

Also its soo cute that the others are like fathers to him

[@turdl38]

yeah, i'm impressed. they must be "fixed," because otherwise adult male buns have a tendency not to be so sweet to a submissive littler rabbit

[@AllTheArtsy]

I feel horrible for Hazel and it's difficult to see him like that, but I am encouraged by his level of activity, and to know that he's eating well, and having sweet cuddle time with Bigwig and baby Apollo. Wishing him wellness!

I love that Apollo is getting along with Hazel and Big Wig, hopefully they have an amazing life living together. Apollo is the most adorable rabbit I have seen since, I hope Hazel can get over this hard time of her life and be super healthy!

So beautiful... that rabbit family is so sweet.

Apollo is the chillest bunny ever hahaha He is just being displayed back and forth and doesnt bat an eye! Hazel is lovelly, just want to send him a big, big hug! Glad he is doing better, he is such a strong boy! And glad Big Wig is being more comfortable to be presented. You All do great work!

[@radishraccoon3657]

Awwww, you didn't go for "Fiver" for the new bun?! Really glad to see Hazel improving, and the three of them look so sweet together :)

[@animalwondersmontana]

It was a consideration! But Apollo isn't anxious enough to be a Fiver 😆

[@timy.9512]

Pipkin would have been an amazing name (a nod to the 1998 animated series, where he remained a perpetual baby).

[@justacatwhocantype]

I'm very glad to hear that little Hazel is doing better and that the rabbits are getting along to well! I think living in harmony within his little group, is the best thing that can happen to a rabbit in his condition. 💚

Dear animal wonders, Hi, me and my friends have decided to study avain vet, animal training and ornithology. With this education will we be able to run a organisation like yours? What is your tips? Do you have any advice for us?

[@animalwondersmontana]

That's so exciting to hear! I wish you all the luck in the world. My biggest piece of advice is to know what your goals are and always make sure your actions bring you closer to that goal. It may take time, so celebrate small victories as much as the big ones because every improvement brings you closer to your goal.

[@animalwondersmontana]

I forgot to answer your first question 🙃 I'm a firm believer in experience. So getting these degrees will be really helpful, but nothing compares to hands on experience so make sure you're connecting with other animal facilities for that needed knowledgeable.

Hi Jesse! i was wondering if there was any way you could surgically "reset" hazels head to sit in the right position (just wondering)

No, it wouldn't work and at best you risk death or paralysis for no benefit

[@susanne5803]

Will Hazel ever be completely healed again? Thank you very much for this beautiful and informative video!

[@lordgarion514]

Maybe, and a lot are. It can takes months of treatment, but the fact is in quite a few rabbits, some degree of head tilt becomes permanent, although usually treatment at least improves the condition so the rabbit can live a pretty good life overall.

[@biaroca]

What about Cheeks? Is he alive?

[@animalwondersmontana]

He's still with us. On the most recent visit from our vet she said, "Well he's looking old.", and he is old, but he's doing well for an old guy ❤

[@MsKnitsAlot]

Congrats on the new addition! At what age will you neuter Apollo? Realizing I don't know what the typical age for spay/neuter of young rabbits is.

[@BasilWyrth]

it's ideally between 6 months and 1 year. They can be sexually mature before that age so they have to be kept apart if there's males and females in the same space, but it's good to wait for their complete growth to be complete before doing it.

[@charliespinoza1966]

Yaaaay!!! I’m so happy!

[@mymontanalife2915]

Hi! So just wondering.. I know if male rabbits are put together they will kill. And I heard it's not any different even if they are fixed "google" lol. So I assume the latter is wrong?? How do they get along?

[@animalwondersmontana]

While neutering males helps immensely with the likelihood two males will get along, it really comes down to individuals. Introducing neutered males in a neutral space with plenty of room for them to move around helps too. Sometimes putting several piles of desirable foods helps offer distractions and gets them used to each other being around. Sometimes it works to have them housed near each other for awhile before letting them be together helps too (this isn't what we've done, though others have).

[@mymontanalife2915]

@@animalwondersmontana okay cool thanks

[@BasilWyrth]

the neutral space is key, as for the individuals you choose.

welcome to the family, Apollo! has he been neutered, or is that a concern at all in this group?

[@joeytsang7593]

i have a bunny of my own

[@sptheban]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute

[@casperTheBird]

Is Cheeks still around?

[@BasilWyrth]

I'd just like to add that crouching, for rabbits, is in no way the sign of a submission; it's quite the opposite actually. The fact that Appolo demands a grooming from the adults is a typical behaviour of a young bun that wants to know he's in charge ; and Bigwig grooming him is saying "yes you are, darling, here's a lollipop". If they keep it that way it will be great, but I'd wait for a year to pass in order to feel completely safe about these three... Puberty is quite strong with bunnies !

[@neophytical]

I thought the same thing! Putting you head down low to the ground is usually a demand for grooming. My dominant rabbit Celia will literally push her head underneath my little Clover's face for licks.

[@BasilWyrth]

@@neophytical my bun is very dominant too, and sometimes she'll push our feet under the table to get groomings... and when she sees that we do not move she scoffs and growls before going away, annoyed af x)
