Awwww, cute buns! <3

Our two boys live in their own room (in our computer room) and the cats aren’t allowed in there. But occasionally, Julius (our big kitty) will get the door open and all 3 cats will go inside. I’ve noticed that the bunny boys will get cranky afterwards and spat with each other for a short time after.

Also, sometimes if they…[Read more]

When he stares at the wall like that, is his nose moving? He could just have fallen asleep with his eyes open.

Nearly every lop we have had has exhibited this sort of behavior at one point or another. Not so much with the uppy ears. I just assumed maybe it was a lop thing, as they tend to be more chill. Sometimes they just stare off, as in deep…[Read more]

I don’t think he is losing his vision… he knows where his food and water is no problem and always seems to run over to me to say hi. I thought about that, but I don’t think it’s his vision.

That’s so sweet! I’m glad to hear they are getting along well. At least for the most part…

Bunnies will react differently to dogs. Some really don’t seem to care and others do. It can be a source of stress and sometimes bonded bunnies will act out when there is stress. Since this little dog isn’t going to be a permanent resident, it’s probably…[Read more]

They were bonded well and spend most time near each other, I don’t see the humping any more too. Thanks again for all the help and support!

Minor problem I need advice on. I got a Chihuahua dog to take care of for ~2 weeks. The dog is in a separate, closed room all the time and it is a very well-behaved dog. Only when I take him out, I take him…[Read more]

Thought – How is his vision? One of my bunnies started to act this way when his vision started getting worse as he aged.

Yay! I’m glad he is back to himself! 😀

What is she doing when you hear the clicking? Is her jaw moving? Bunnies will click their teeth together when they are happy and relaxed. They call it “purring”.

Yaaay! Probably gas then, when it gets out buns tend to just snap back immediately, like nothing even happened.

It’s very scary for the human though. I think most of us bun parents suffer from some degree of bun-induced PTSD.

Thank you so much!
i ended up going to bed and I heard him in the middle of the night playing with his ball .
when I woke up the next morning he was acting his normal self! Food gone and water almost gone

I was so relieved!!!
and he still is his normal self.
I get nervous because I lost 2 bunnies within a year apart. This bunny is my baby and he…[Read more]

I agree it sounds like gas. Try to get him to move, it helps gas move through. Be gentle but firm, he should move some every 20 minutes or so until this passes.

You can give simethicone baby gas drops. 1 ml first, then O.5 ml of whatever strenght you can get (tends to be 20-40%).

Don’t force food. Water can be given but no more than 2 ml per 1-2…[Read more]

It sounds like it could be gas. At least our bunnies usually lay flat like that when they have gas. Its good to get him to move around, as it can help it work through his tummy.

Is he eating ok? Thats also usually another sign if he is not.

Do you have simethicone drops on hand? You can find them in the baby section of most grocery/department…[Read more]

You can. If he has hay and water the rest of the time, he’s all set. I have to do that now bc my little boy Lage was deemed fat by the vet at his recent vaccination appt. So now it’s hay only with a once daily snack of fresh grass. (I do sneak his bonded partner some pellets, because she isn’t fat.)

It’s great for the whole of Gus if he eats a…[Read more]

We have done both with our buns (spaced out and together) and I find the buns don’t care as they like getting food whenever they can lol. But in my human brain, its nice to spread things out a little, but it doesn’t have to be a whole day apart. 🙂

I don’t think it would matter too much. I may not give the pellets and veggies together just because it’s nice to space things out. But I don’t think it’s necessary to have such a large gap either. You can always try a different schedule and see how it goes.

Yep, that’s definitely the attitude of a teenage bun lol. He will most likely become a decent, upstanding bunny boy as he gets older (like teenage hooms mellow out).

Our youngest bun, Arthas, likes to come up for pets, then binky and shake away right before you touch him. If you DO happen to touch him, he whips around and grooms himself as if he…[Read more]
