That’s wonderful!  Congrats!

Oh gotcha! Yeah it could be that specific rug is tempting because it’s softer and fluffy.

I’ve also had good success cleaning areas they tend to mark with pet-safe enzyme cleaner. I’ve used the nature’s miracle carpet shampoo a lot and my buns seem less inclined to re-mark those spots.

It’s likely that your bun picks up on the smell of raw meat. Blood flour (made from freeze dried animal blood) is traditionally used as both a fertilizer and to deter rabbits and deer from veggie- and flower beds.

Not all rabbits freak out at the scent of meat, but some absolutely do. The meat doesn’t have to be raw, some buns panic at the scent…[Read more]

Hey Dana

I have seen Khushi actively flop right in front of Yujin and also Yujin grooming Khushi. They do well with sharing a food dish and the litter box together.

Since the incident they went 5 days without any squabbles. I have let them start free roaming and they are doing really well. Yujin follows Khushi around exploring all the new places…[Read more]

We had him neutered in November so we’re good there. I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and put a blanket over the problem areas and see if that helps until he breaks out of it. For the area rug, it’s a pretty thick high pile rug, are all rugs and issue or would it be better to get a lower pile rug instead? We have thin mats in his enclosu…[Read more]

Agree, sounds like it’s time for him to be neutered! That should help a lot.

Also, couches and beds tend to be problem areas for bunnies peeing. The softness and strong smell of humans trigger them to mark. Covering the area with a shower curtain with a blanket on top sometimes does the trick (or one of those blankets with nylon on one side), or…[Read more]

The vet emailed me back and told me to feed him half of what I’m feeding him right now. Then after a week of that, feed him only hay for a week. And if it doesn’t help, then I should let them know and I can bring him in to be reassessed. They said he would likely have some blood work to check his organs.

He drinks from a bowl, I think I’ll see if I can watch him the next time he drinks to see if he’s dipping his chin

Thank you for the update! Great outcome!

It really is super scary when they do stuff like that.

Sounds like a case of bunny puberty, 5 months is a normal time to expect these hormonal behaviors.

It doesn’t look like it’s coming from his mouth necessarily. Does he drink from a bowl or bottle? Perhaps he’s just dipping his chin too much.

Its been a month now and tbh i forgot about it until today.

He seems fine nothing seemed to arise from it. Its just when  I think about it it scares me.

Thanks
