One of my buns is attracted to leather and pleather and will nose and move things to get to it. I wonder if there’s a smell that even covering and blocking didn’t really help  Luckily for me, I only have small items so I relocated them to cabinets.

Hi BunnyLass! I know what you mean. It can be hard after you lose your bunny and then there is a whole bunny forum where you are used to talking to others about bunnies. But it’s very nice to see you all the same. 🙂  The forum has been a bit slow lately, but I encourage you to stick around. Even without a bunny currently in your life, that…[Read more]

It could be many factors at play, but typically once a rabbit realizes they can just pee on a couch…. they’ll keep doing it. It’s like the seal is popped, haha.

I wouldn’t read too much human emotion into the why, just be grateful it took until now for it to happen. Most rabbits get to peeing on couches immediately. They smell a lot like human,…[Read more]

It’s tough to cover things they want to chew since rabbits are very drawn to things with “give”, so unless the cover is super tight, it might actually exacerbate the behavior!

Maybe try offering something more appealing on the couch (though I understand you don’t want random junk on your couch…). Plain cardboard cat scratchers are pretty well…[Read more]

I’m going to check Amazon. Hopefully I can find one for leather couches that way it stays on and not slip off

thank you 😊

Not that I’m aware of. I’m wondering if he is mad at me because I left him for 5 days at a boarding place. He has never done this before.i just picked him Saturday.

he has been very clingy more so than before

Did the blanket smell strongly of you? Bunnies like to pee on soft things, particularly soft things that smell strongly of people.

I like the idea of a fitted slip cover. And if it gets chewed, it’s just a slip cover.

He is free roam during play time , but I have a huge cage with his door open 24/7 and I have a large dog pen attached to the cage with a door that is shut. That way he can still run around and have lots of room if I can’t supervise him. And that way he can’t get into trouble

Haha, they always seem to know when they’re in trouble! Mine always give me the “What? I’m not doing anything!” face (usually as they are sitting right next to the evidence lol). Or, our girl bun Georgia will do binkies when she gets scolded for digging in the cat boxes and we shoo her out lol.🙄

The blankets or a slipcover were my first thought,…[Read more]

Oh dear, that is difficult!

I only trimled the hair rust around my Vilde’s eyes, becsuse the fibe fluff irritated his eyes. But you’d probably need someone to help you hold your bun for that type of trimming. Accidentally hurting his eyes would be far worse than eye boogers and it’s no guarantee trimming hairs would actually help, there could be…[Read more]

Yes, I’ve been wondering if I need to trim around his eyes more. This bun is super furry so trimming him is required but for his face, I only trim his nose/between eyes area. Might need trim his cheeks/outside of eyes but I didn’t want to accidently trim whiskers.

Maybe because I have to trim him monthly, even though he’s super…[Read more]

Warm (not hot) compress perhaps, I’d try warm plain water/saline first, but I know some ppl add some weak chamomile tea. Let the booger soften for a bit and then wipe/remove with your fingers?

My very fluffy bun Vilde got eye boogers/crustiness around the eyes unless I cut the hair around his eyes. Not all of it, not so he looked weird, just the…[Read more]

As long as it’s naturally occurring as opposed to an ailment, I think using your fingers/nails is fine.

It can come from less grooming behaviors for age. I do wonder if it may be like with humans, where when you have a stuffier nose, you also get more eye gunk?
