mia replied to the topic Landlord moral dilemma – he has requested the buns be in a pen 24/7, need advice in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Personally, I think if buns have a home base and then freeroams sometimes, that’s considered being penned up. I think it’s also fair to say to landlord, if it comes up, hey, I cuddle with my bun and then they run off. Even better is if you say, due to this, I’ve set aside a larger amount in case of any issues.
Back when I had a hamster, the…[Read more]

Hey Rae!
I guess, if it were me, I would probably not mention it to him and just pen them up when he comes by.
You paid your pet deposit and it sounds like you and your partner are responsible and excellent tenants. It doesn’t seem like anything would really change if you penned them up vs leaving things as they are except alleviating a little…[Read more]

Yes, we paid a pet deposit somewhere to the tune of $200 for our four pets which the landlord stated was mainly due to the rabbits.
I still feel a bit guilty about it, but I decided after talking to my partner that we just won’t say anything and continue on as is – just penning the buns when the landlord comes by and hope for the best. I don’t…[Read more]

Yes! That describes our house perfectly lol. I even pointed out that *technically*, my husband participates in nail trimmings, too – he holds them while I clip lol. But, I guess since he is moral support, I’m still the bad guy. 🙄
To be fair, he gave Arthas a firm talkin’-to about being nice to his mom, so he tries😂. (It was cute. “Now, Arthas,…[Read more]

Raelinn & Gus started the topic Nationwide rabbit insurance – yay or nay?/Is pet insurance worth it for bunnies? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi all,
I am getting my two cats covered via AKC insurance, and was looking to get my two buns insured.
I see that in the US (correct if wrong) the only company who insures rabbits is Nationwide, a company that from my research is generally regarded as a sub-par pet insurance company.
Do we have any positive or negative experiences for…[Read more]

So you have already paid a pet deposit? I don’t know… if it were me, I would probably just not say anything. IF you feel you must, then I would go with option 3. But keep in mind that could be opening a whole new can of worms and then you might be forced to keep them penned all the time.

Hello!
I have two rabbits: Gus and Max. Both neutered males, unbonded, living separately, and around four years old. Gus is a lop (like 5ish lbs maybe?) and Max is a rex/flemish (10ish lbs). I think rex, past owners said flemish.
When I moved into my current apartment, we disclosed we had our bunnies and was told that was fine as long as they…[Read more]

The can be dramatic, that’s for sure! It’s especially hard when you’re always the “bad guy”. It seems it’s always one person who does the picking up, trimming nails, grooming, giving meds, etc…. and then there is the person that is just the bringer of treats and other good things for some reason. ๐

So, I have been on the receiving end of a full blown bunny grudge this week. Oh, the tiny anger!
We are working on bonding Arthas and Georgia. The other day, I decided to put them in a large carrier and bring them in the kitchen with me for a date while I was doing some housework. The date itself went pretty well, but going inย the carrier means…[Read more]

GlennTheLionhead replied to the topic Spring fever? in the forum BONDING 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Things seem to have settled now. Seems like it was a case of spring fever that has passed! Strange, Glenn is 8 now and I’ve never noticed this kind of seasonally driven behaviour so it is weird that it can just spontaneously happen after all these years. It reached its peak a few days after this topic was created and I actually needed to seperate…[Read more]

BrunosMama replied to the topic Poopy butt cleaning in the forum DIET & CARE 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I was thinking something similar to LBJ – if you could line the cushion with something soft, yet disposable, you could maybe just toss the cloth when it gets icky or when he gets up to eat. Maybe cut pieces of fleece or a bed sheet? I know paper towels would be too rough on his little bum.
When I have had to do butt baths in the past, I did them…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Poopy butt cleaning in the forum DIET & CARE 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Yeah… I had this problem. Is it possible to line the cushion with something? Like faux sheepskin?
As for poopy butt cleaning, I would place a towel on the bottom of the bathtub and use the handheld shower head (turned down) to just get his rear wet. I would support his front half with one hand and his feet would be on the towel. Then I would…[Read more]

This is about my elderbun / end-of-life / illness
So I’ve done butt baths for other buns but problem is not a large area to really do butt baths. Basically he’s getting poopy butt every two days or so. He gets meds 2x/day so I check every time. The problem is, it dries up and sticks (maybe worse because there’s a heat lamp). The last time it…[Read more]

They are a bit better after their supervised overnight, I ended up putting a pen grate in between them while I slept as Glenn was a bit too relentless and Nellie needed a break, she was avoiding him anyway. After taking the grate away this morning they are cuddling! perhaps they missed eachother!
