I think it has more to do with the level of bond you have. People often think of the bond between a human and their dog is very strong. People often do not associate this bond with a rabbit, but people certainly can and do develop very strong bonds with their bunnies.

Sorry if this is a weird post here, it didn’t quite fit elsewhere.
This weekend, my mother in law had to have her dog put to sleep. She was 17 years old, which apparently is very old for a pug. Obviously, MIL was devastated. But, she made a comment that implied her grief over her dog was more profound than the grief we feel over losing a rabbit…[Read more]

Poop wars are pretty common in intact buns (and even happens with altered buns when they meet someone new or enter a new space). But it should lessen quite a bit after getting them fixed. 🙂

From what I understand, it is used as a cover crop. So when the field is rotated back to orchard, it can end up with some alfalfa sneaking in there.

I buy orchard grass from Small Pet Select and I haven’t noticed any alfalfa hay in it. I get the 2 pound boxes.

We just use timothy. I’ve noticed several batches have had a lot of brown in them.
I wonder if alfalfa is a cheaper grass and is being used as a filler more often? I’m not quite sure how all the growing etc works.

Are your buns free roam? If they live in a pen (or at least thats where the litter box is and the peeing is happening) you could try laying a fleece blanket over the pee pads so he doesn’t chew them.
My first thought was a second litter box, too. Do you use any sort of bedding in the litter box? Perhaps she is opposed to that if you do, or maybe…[Read more]

Wooooo, man, 6 bonded buns! That would be super cute, though! You’re very own Warren!
Keep in mind it takes about a month to 6 weeks for buns to “air out” after getting neutered, so hormones will still make things a little difficult. They are also all pretty young and young bunnies can get along, but change their minds as they reach puberty.

It’s possible. I’ve never thought about that. I have tried putting a second litter box in before and she still peed outside of it, so I removed it, but it’s still possible that he might be chasing her out. I’ve always just assumed it was territorial as he will periodically start chasing her while humming and trying to mount her, nip at her and fur…[Read more]

Does anyone else use orchard grass hay? I’ve been experiencing issues and I’m wondering if it’s just me. I have tried several brands (Oxbow, Rabbit Hole, etc.) and, over the last few months, it is always full of alfalfa. I realize there is sometimes a little alfalfa in there, but the orchard grass hay lately have been full of alfalfa. What gives?…[Read more]

Some bunnies are better about the litter box than others, especially with bonded pairs. It could be a variety of things and/or a combination. Does Oliver hog the litter box? Perhaps Lola chooses to pee elsewhere because he is controlling the litter box. I had that problem with a bonded pair (two boys). One would pee in another area because he was…[Read more]

Hi,
We have a 2.5 yr old neutered male and a 3.5 yr old spayed female. Both were fixed under a year old. We had our male as a baby and got our female when she was almost 2 years old. We bonded them about a year and a half ago now, but they’ve never really agreed on hierarchy. They’re definitely bonded as they love each other and get along like a…[Read more]
