Remove sand bath?
My hamster's eye was swollen, and the vet gave me a cream, but after I put cream on his eyes, he took a sand bath. Should I remove the sand bath? I know he'll be quite stressed without it.
Hello, next spring we are moving into an old farmhouse with a loft. Our beloved dwarf rabbits can live in the loft. For our charges there is a garden house with an attached garden box. We will put good rabbit mesh there and then they will have plenty of space to romp around. Now to…
My rabbit named mucky (8 years old) She's breathing heavily and pulling her head up. She won't touch her food or water bowl anymore… she's very old and I'm afraid she'll leave me… I love her so much… she's really gasping for air, as if she's barely getting any, and she's extremely emaciated and doesn't…
Hello, I found these creatures in our hamster cage. Can anyone tell me what they are? They were mostly near the water bowl and fresh food.
Can I bring my rabbits in? Inside: 25 degrees Outside currently: 19 degrees
Hello, In the summer, rabbits should be fed green fodder and twigs (and everything that goes with them). What should I give them most in the winter?

Hello, if the eye is swollen, you can leave the sand bath in it, I think. But if your hamster has an open wound, you should remove it. Then you can distract him with food search games or the like :).

It shouldn’t take too long to put the sand bath back in.
Hello,
You always have to ask the veterinarian who can answer them so that you don’t do anything wrong. At that time, after I gave eye drops, I briefly covered the sand bath and later released again, I would call for safety 🙂
