Haha! Yeah, they were probably able to get cheap rent because the mall was trying to fill empty space. I wouldn’t take that as a red flag, necessarily. More important is their operation and how they care for the bunnies.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Aggressive bunny in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 week ago
Bunnies do go through an adolescence phase. It would be more pronounced if she was unspayed, but even spayed/neutered bunnies will try to test boundaries when they are young and energetic. The changing light can also cause them to produce sex hormones through their adrenal glands, which leads to what we call “March Madness”. It makes bunnies go…[Read more]

Aww, I’m sure she will be fine. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the nail trimmings, especially if you’re relying on someone to help you.

Yeah, it’s so hard to see them when they can’t hold themselves up. Sometimes the arthritis will lead to degeneration of the spine, as Bam mentioned. Or it can be EC sneaking in. Or it can be both.

I knew nails were overdue, but it didn’t look too bad. With my health issues, I get behind on a lot of things. Was going to have the goat farrier help again and forgot when she was here. Then I noticed Boo was not feeling well. Even though she HATES being touched, I managed to pick her up (followed by a mild drop 🥺) and checked her all ove…[Read more]

Hi we adopted her already spayed by the MSPCA, we confirmed with the vet too. She only goes for hands. It’s new behavior. Her room set up is her xpen in the middle in a square then some room for her to run around it and on the out skirts around the room wall is a dig box, two litter boxes and cardboard boxes with tunnels attached. She goes in t…[Read more]

Malls probably have lots of empty spaces these days, so I don’t think it’s weird at all. It actually sounds like a great idea because the rescue would have lots of visibility.
No harm in checking it out!

Ugh that’s so hard to see. I agree with Bam this could be an EC flare-up, this really sounds like what Bun Jovi went through (EC combined with arthritis). I also can’t recall if he was on stronger pain meds than meloxicam, but tramadol really helped Bun Jovi as well.

That said, bad age related degenerative changes to the spine can cause acute hind end weakness in dogs, it hsppened to my GSD. It could probably happen to rsbbits too, we recently had a case here on BB with a bun that had a slipped disc. Antiinflammatory…[Read more]

He’s not doing too well right now. He can’t seem to keep his balance in his back legs and keeps falling over, and he just fell onto his side and laid there and didn’t try to get back up again. He’s still eating really well and has high spirits but I’m so worried that he’s becoming paralyzed or something. The vet took x-rays just 2 months or so ago…[Read more]

Long story short. I know someone whom was thinking of volunteering at a rescue. The nearest one to us (we live in the same area.) is in a mall. We both (plus my mom) think it’s weird for a rescue to operate from a mall. But all rescues start somewhere right? What are all of your thoughts on it? Should she check it out?

DanaNM replied to the topic Aggressive bunny in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 week, 1 day ago
Agree with LBJ10, it would be good to confirm she is in fact spayed, just to make sure that isn’t contributing. Also, the timing of the spay would be good to know! If she was spayed right before you adopted her, it’s possible she is going through a “post-spay craze”, although that usually happens between 4-6 weeks, so it’s probably a little late…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic One rabbit is humping other rabbit in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 week, 1 day ago
Yep, hormones kick into high gear around this age. What follows will be humping, which can escalate to chasing and fighting. It can happen in the blink of an eye. So it’s best to keep them separated for now, even if they have periods where they are “fine”. As Bam said, a bad fight can make bonding difficult or impossible in the future. It’s just…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Aggressive bunny in the forum BEHAVIOR 1 week, 1 day ago
So she is spayed? Did you get her from a shelter that spayed before you adopted her? Or did you have your own vet spay her? And this behavior just started 2 weeks ago? Sorry, I’m just trying to clarify some things here.
I mean, it isn’t unusual for a bunny to feel possessive over their area and things. For some bunnies, this translates into…[Read more]

Hi BigBun! I removed the website address from your post since it’s against forum rules. This is an interesting topic, but I too would be concerned about the toxicity of herbal remedies. Rabbits are very different from people, and even dogs. Things that are safe for us may not be safe for them. We are definitely not experts in this area, so I would…[Read more]
