It's shedding season where I live and where I suspect many of you are too! This post is for those who may be new to rabbits or just need a reminder! GI stasis is super common this time of year from hair partially obstructing their GI tract.
If you can take time to groom evey day for a few minutes, it will greatly reduce how much hair they swallow and will reduce the chance of stasis, or make a stasis event easier to get through. I find the grooming gloves to be the most effective if you aren't sure what to use.
It's impossible to completely prevent them swallowing hair, and stasis from a partial blockage is easily treatable (but may take a while to resolve). Just take extra care to remove as much fuzz from them and their environment as you can. It will save them the pain and you the thousand dollar emergency trip!!
Stay warm out there!
