BUNNY CARE TIP:
Keep Q-tips (cotton swabs) on hand for:
1. Gently cleaning noses, the very outside rim of their ears, and vents/scent glands.
2. Carefully dislodging food (or anything they've chewed on) from their mouth. You'll know something is stuck in there if they keep making chomping movements for a few minutes but you didn't see them just grab something to eat OR they keep sticking their tongue out like a dog with peanut butter on the roof of their mouths. ***This works best if you wet the Q-tip with a mint simple syrup and water mixture so they don't fight you sticking it in their mouth. Be quick and move it in a sweeping motion from one side to the other and forward--you're not trying to ram whatever's in there down their throat!
I've managed to use a Q-tip to dislodge a dried carrot chip that had gotten stuck on the roof of River's mouth that had by that time re-hydrated from all of her spit. I'm honestly amazed she didn't choke on it! Dehydrated carrot has been off the menu ever since.
