DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding a pair and two singles? in the forum BONDING 1 year, 5 months ago
Until you do a few dates you can’t really predict how it will go! Most buns will act aggressive towards each other at first when they are living side by side as they are defending their territory, so I don’t think that’s an indication it won’t work (especially at this early stage). If they were still acting that way after months of living as…[Read more]

He really is a most handsome gentleman!
Silvadene cream could be an option. But even plain vaseline would be better than nothing. Will make stuck cecos easier to remove, keep away wetness from the environment plus prevents the sores from drying out too much. Contrary to what used to be said about wound healing, wounds should not be allowed to d…[Read more]

Hello! I have now setup my 4 bunnies in my finished basement and am starting to get an idea of how dynamics may work. I haven’t put all 4 in a neutral area together yet, but they can see one another from their x-pens bars. My newest bun of the group, Snowdrop is a spayed female and honestly is very passive and sweet; she does seem mildly…[Read more]

Yes it has! Well they were barely awake this morning then have been crashed out all day. Nice that I could work and stuff without worrying or being distracted. I guess they wore themselves out doing zoomies, binkies and jumping on and off the couch for like 8 hours straight yesterday lol. We made it 24 hours without issues… hopefully they wake…[Read more]

Silvadene is an antibacterial creme that I’ve used to soothe syphilis/fungal related skin irritation. It is used on humans for burns. Perhaps this is something to discuss?

Thank you so much for the tips! Guess I’m lucky the stains are at least not visible haha

Thanks for the update, sounds like a much better setup! I agree things have likely been peaceful due to the fact that she is still a baby, along with the hormones.
FYI: Chai also needs to be spayed and given a few weeks for hormones to settle before bonding. Even once Frankie is neutered her hormones will still cause issues.

Overnight in the living room went well! We still aren’t back to flopping together or anything, but they laid together some again, hung out a lot, lots of running around together in a good way, etc. I didn’t see anything negative. Minimal mount attempts and nips. Overnight Pancake slept in a shelf on my TV stand that she likes away from Snoopy lol.…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Destructive Behaviors in New Bunny in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 year, 5 months ago
Flooring is really tricky for buns! I have a few “diggers”. What I ended up with is foam mats covered by a sheet of vinyl flooring, and then fleece blankets on top. They do still dig and chew at the fleece, but it is safer than carpet. Ingesting either carpet or fabric would not be good, but if a bit is ingested the fleece is less likely to cause…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic How can I stop territorial peeing habit? in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 year, 5 months ago
Unfortunately couch and bed peeing are a common problem. 🙁 Since you can’t block off the couch, I think your best bet is to get a water-proof couch blanket or protector. This would at least protect your couch and could be washed easily. There are a number of them on the market now, often geared towards dogs. I know on beds some people have had…[Read more]

TincanOwl started the topic How can I stop territorial peeing habit? in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 year, 5 months ago
Hii! I have two free roamers and they’ve formed a bad habit of marking the couch, usually the spots I sat most recently so I understand this to be territorial. They’re both spayed and neutered and they’re good with the litterbox otherwise. Biggest problem about it is I can never catch them doing is because it always happens sometime at night while…[Read more]

Thought I’d share a pic of the incredibly high-maintenance fella who feels good enough to flip his plate around. Also I remember being told something I can put on his foot sores to heal them, like a medicine, but I don’t remember what that is.

I know a lot of people were concerned with my buns behavior. I have two intact bunnies of opposite genders in the same room. They seemed like they were bonding but y’all informed me they were just eager to mate and it was dangerous especially with their size difference. They were finding their ways into each other’s enclosures despite my best…[Read more]

Thank you for all that information!
It there any chance you can share examples of the big reconstituted wood mesh toys you have?

Susanne replied to the topic Snoopy and Pancake [BONDED] in the forum BONDING 1 year, 5 months ago
We are now in the living room. There have been bunny acrobatics! Like binkying over each other and everything. Otherwise she still tries to mount so I’m expecting it to go about the same, so far nothing extreme. Everytime they almost settle and cuddle one gets up for one reason or another and they end up resting apart. Both have groomed the other…[Read more]
