Hi everyone,I hope you and your babies are well. I have 2 bunnies and 2 piggies, my girl bunny,Odette, 17 months old is very aggressive, caring for her is getting quite hard! just reaching in to feed her is a challenge, she snarls (never thought I'd say that about a bunny) pounces, bites, go in the cage if your not bitten to death, she will snarl,thump,chase you, and also run away from you. all I EVER want for all my babies is for them to have the best life but I'm finding it so hard to just look after her and her basic ( not that bunnies are basic and easy) not what I mean,like providing, food,water,litter etc I hope this isn't taken in a negative way if haven't been able to articulate myself well,I just don't know how to care for her, she was desexed in April and had post surgery difficulties that we didn't think she'd make it, it was said then with her aggressive behaviour that desexing would be the answer and she would return to her affectionate self 6-8 weeks post surgery....yeah nope! I'm struggling, and really don't know what to do.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Olivia or Liv, an avian and exotics veterinarian and educator, and I created this space not just because of my passion for birds and exotic pets but because birds and exotic pets are too often overlooked, misunderstood and I know just how hard it can be to find reliable, trustworthy information on caring for them. This community is for pet parents of birds and exotic pets, as well as veterinary professionals, vet students, vet nurses, vet techs and anyone who works with or care about these incredible non-traditional animals. My goal is simple: to make high-quality, practical, evidence-based exotics education accessible and fun! I want you to feel empowered and to love learning from me. Whether you’re caring for a rabbit at home, nursing a bird in hospital, or building confidence with birds and exotics in practice. ✨ Inside this community you’ll find: - Free husbandry guides - Courses, e-books, and webinars (with more coming soon) - Ongoing education and discussion - A safe space to ask questions and learn I am only just getting started and have so many exciting resources that I am working on that I will be launching in the coming months! But for now this platform is still growing, and as an early member, you’ll help shape what’s created next! 👇 To get started, please introduce yourself: - What species do you care for or work with? - Are you a pet parent, vet, vet nurse, vet, student, or other animal professional? - What would you most love to learn about? Thanks for being here. I’m so excited to learn and build this community with you. Liv ❤️ 🐇🐁🐍🦎🐀🐢🦜

Hi I am a parrot owner I own a pineapple green cheek conure and she is destroying everything fromy towels to my clothes I have her out when I am not working on weekends between 4 to 8 hrs a day I don't know what to do

Rabbit emergencies don't wait for a convenient time. They can happen suddenly, overnight, or when everything seems completely normal. And the hardest part is that rabbits are incredibly good at hiding signs of illness until things are already serious. That's why being prepared is the thing that could actually save your rabbit's life. As an exotics vet, these are some of the essentials I actually keep in my own rabbit first aid kit at home because when something goes wrong, every minute counts. From gut stasis red flags to minor injuries and those subtle "something's off" moments, this checklist covers what to actually have on hand, why each item matters, and how to use it safely. I know first-hand how stressful these moments are, both as a vet and a rabbit owner. So I put together a free, printable checklist to help you build your kit properly — no overwhelm, no panic-Googling at midnight . 📋 Grab it here: Rabbit First Aid Checklist or head over to the free resources folder in the classroom If you've already got a first aid kit going for your bun, drop what's in yours below 👇

Vets - if you've ever frozen and panicked when you’ve seen a bird or exotic pet hit your schedule — this is for you. I built this bundle because I wanted the templates I wish I'd had when I started out in exotics practice. A proper history is one of the most important tools we have in exotics medicine. Getting a thorough history and asking the right questions is very often the difference between landing a diagnosis or feeling lost and just running more tests for the sake of it. Yet it’s the bit we often rush - because we are short on time, we don’t know which questions to ask, or both. Inside this bundle, for 9 animal groups: bird, lizard, python, turtle, rabbit, guinea pig, ferret, rat/mouse and fish, you get: 📋 A printable client questionnaire PDF a stylised questionnaire that the pet parent can complete before or during the consult 💻 A digital version ready to copy straight into your practice management software that you can email ahead of time or complete in consult 🧠 A bonus cheat sheet for each animal these cheat sheets dive into the reasoning behind the key questions and how to interpret the findings for example the ideal diet breakdown for a guinea pig or the optimal water parameters for a turtle By using a systematic, structured approach every time you will develop better pattern recognition, faster and more accurate differential diagnoses and a lot less scrambling. 🎉10% off for launch - $45 for all 9!
