Unfortunately, if more desirable foods are readily available, many bunnies will opt for that over hay. It’s generally recommended that you decrease pellets in order to encourage hay eating. That being said, his reduced interest in hay could be any number of things. There is always the possibility of it being a teeth issue since hay is often the…[Read more]

If I go the carpeted ramp/ottoman route as suggested, I will definitely invest in cord protectors all around for sure – both for Gus’ safety and my computer’s safety haha. I’m thinking of getting one that is slightly lower than my desk, still within reaching distance, so he would have to jump up to get onto the desk itself.

I agree that petting…[Read more]

Hey!

Yes, we did make it to our destination with all paws and whiskers intact!

Full disclosure, I couldn’t handle the stress of the drive and made it about 4 states over before I just bought plane tickets – had to buy two extra for the kitties. They all did very well on the plane, though I will admit Gus might have chewed a hole in a hotel wall…[Read more]

A carpeted (ie non-slippy) ramp is a great idea. It obviously can’t be too steep and it might take some time for him to try it out -buns can be like that, but he most likely will, eventually.

Beware though, if you do stuff on your desk on a computer or  anything else that has powered electrical cords, it could get risky, or at least inconvenient…[Read more]

It does sound great, your buns feel no need to hide, they feel safe and love hanging out with you!

The hideys still serve a purpose though, rabbits like to know there are hiding spots should they ever need them.

Awww! It just sounds like your bunnies would rather hang out with their hoom than in their hidey spots. 🙂 They must feel very safe and comfortable around you. 🙂

Hello!

I’m glad to hear it sounds like you made your long car journey with Gus and kitties successfully. 🙂

Its sweet he is so attached to you! Yes, some bunnies really do seem to prefer their human over other buns.

I was also thinking of a ramp or the little pet stairs. You could try a small footstool/ottoman type thing beside your desk so its…[Read more]

Well, maybe they just like being out in the open. I don’t think a lack of hiding is necessarily a bad thing. Seems like they are super comfortable.

Oh yes,  tunnels boxes, castles, tables, etc. all 2 or more exits.  They also seem to have a need to be by my feet all the time.

How high are we talking? Could you get one of those “houses” and put a ramp next to it so he can get up? My bunnies would readily go up a carpeted ramp.

Do the hideouts only have one entrance? My bunny prefers things like a tunnel because there is more than one entrance/exit.

Was there anything that you did that did help your bun?

My bun has had many health issues as well he gets gi stasis quite often but hasn’t happened since late may, he’s had an ear infection which was pasteurella and we got that under control. At one point I found him limping out of nowhere and took him in and he had torn a muscle and they did…[Read more]

Some buns have damaged nasal mucosa, sometimes from an untreated URI way back in the past. A URI without overt  signs like excessive sneezing or thick snot can easily go undetected. I had a bun like that, he was 6 when I got him and he had some health issues.  Antibiotics didn’t help his nose, but he had no thick, opaque or colored nasal d…[Read more]
