Title says it all. We hit her with a out 5mcg of oxytocin. She took it like a champ, didn't seem bothered at all. Seemed quite comfortable after receiving the dose too. It's about 5 minutes later now and she's munching on a cookie.
Justification: A healthy female rabbit can produce 15 to upwards of 30 litters in a lifetime. Our bunny has only had one litter, she was pregnant when I got ahold of her, and unfortunately none of her kits made it.
I have helped raise rabbits over the years, and the sweet ones that liked to be held and played with were all mama bunnies.
Our bunny lives a great life as a free range house rabbit, her diet consists of spring mix, baby carrots, fresh hay, alfalfa pellets, seed stick, freeze dried fruits, bananas, rabbit treats, and whatever me and my dad think will be funny to give her. She's quite fond of corn chips and pepperonis.
But, she's a very skittish rabbit and doesn't seek out much attention unless she's begging for food.
We would like her to be a little more social, so we're gonna try daily doses of oxytocin combined with cuddling and food to see if we can reinforce prosocial behaviors and change her temperament.
It's about ten minutes later now and she's hopping around the living room, begging for food, grooming herself like usual. After the injection, Mom reported that she closed her eyes for a minute or so while she was being petted. Might be the oxytocin rush.
She's a very hormonal critter. Sometimes she goes through periods where she seeks out more attention, and sometimes she gets extremely skittish and engages in more anxious nesting behavior than usual.
Interested to see what happens. She just finished grooming herself and stretched out to relax with us in the family room.
Obviously, I did the research regarding dosing. Diluted ~100-150mcg into one ML and then injected 5-6 units of that. I'm sure a few of you will Chime in with your Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude results too
