It can be challenging to find neutral space with a free roam bun, so sometimes you have to think outside the box. I’ve had good luck in the past with using the bathtub (although a shower stall would work, too, if you can block off the front). Its just awkward and stressful enough that it encourages the buns to seek comfort from one another. And it…[Read more]

Buns can still have a great relationship after horrible fights in bonding. I’ve had an incident that lead to surgery but the boys quickly became BFFs. They actually became BFFs before I even found out about the issue. Unless the buns are doing meet/greet/speed dating, I am usually very involved when I bond being in the same pen as the buns until I…[Read more]

If you’re willing to wait it out, it would be worth trying again, especially with more knowledge on bonding.

For starters though, I’d wipe the slate clean, give them time apart, and spend much more time in prebonding before moving forward with dates and such. Also, as you mention, neutrality is very important, so maintaining the eventual space…[Read more]

No, it wasn’t with the shelter, but its not their fault. We originally had him scheduled with them (they were happy to do it for free since they had missed it), but we had the flu and couldn’t make the 4 hour drive that day (its 2 hrs each way). And since then, the weather here has been super cold, snowy, and icy. So, I checked with a local…[Read more]

Yes, but it was pretty much like a spay. 😯

I’m glad to hear Arthas is doing well for the most part and he finally got his neuter done. Was this done by the shelter vet so you didn’t have to pay? It was their mistake, so I do hope so. Boys usually bounce back pretty quickly, but if they had to do more then it could mean a longer recovery. Things…[Read more]

On a side note, does anyone have any experience with getting a cryptorchid bun neutered? I know it can be more invasive depending on how far they have to search for the undescended testicle.

I checked Arthas’s incisions today, and everything looks good. All clean, no redness or swelling. But he seems to be bouncing back slower than I…[Read more]

Update!

Arthas finally got his neuter done on Wednesday! We had to cancel his original appointment due to us being sick. But, he did well with the surgery. It turns out one of his testicles could not descend properly (cryptorchid?) So he needed a little extra work to get that taken care of. That would explain why I could only find one when I…[Read more]

We did have that problem some time ago for the mods as well. I hope it’s sth BB can fix!

Thank you very much for your kind words 💗

Yes, it does the same for me.

Maybe. Stress can cause them to fluctuate a little bit, that’s for sure. I’m guessing he’s just a very energetic bunny.

As for the partitioning suggestion, what I meant was you could make a small area (i.e. where they get along) progressively bigger to see if that helps.

I have forwarded this thread to BB. I’m wondering if this is some sort of back end problem.

Forgot to say… When I press the post button, it actually takes me to a WordPress page that says there’s a critical error. I have to find my way back to the forum and then see my post awaiting moderation.

I’ve posted my issues in the technical section for some time.

1. I actually have issues logging in and have to try multiple times. For example, if I go to the top right, login, forum. It then takes me to wordpress to login? Claims I’m logged in. Then when I try posting, I says I’m not logged in. Sometimes I click refresh and it seems to show I’m…

I’m not sure if it’s actually a technical issue or just the way things work now, but it seems every post I make (whether a new topic I create or a response to someone else in their thread) has to be approved by mods before it shows up. It just seems like this is a lot of work for you mods, so I feel a little guilty sometimes for posting too much…[Read more]

I just looked at his history. Intake at shelter he was 2.2. He then went to foster, got neutered, and 6months later came back to shelter weighting 2.6. Another 6months later adopted from shelter and he’s 2.3 and then he was 2.2 at my vet. He’s now 2.8. Maybe he gets stressed and lose weight when near other buns but now more ok and so gained.

They…[Read more]

Hmm… got bigger… changed coat… all signs point to a young bunny. LOL  But, yes, who knows. If he came from a hoarding situation, it’s possible they mixed him up with another bun when they were processing intakes.

I don’t currently experience any technical issues with the forum. Can you describe what is happening?

FWIW, I have enjoyed seeing some familiar faces lately. This was such an awesome bunny community (and still can be). Everyone was so caring and we had some very knowledgeable members. I miss that.
