Agreed that this sounds like puberty. His personality will be rapidly changing day to day as he responds to his oncoming hormones, so don’t take anything too personally or permanently and adapt as things go along!

Yes he is really small, I took him to the vet and he said he is still a baby however I’m not 100 percent sure he is 2 months that’s what the girl that was selling him said.

Thank you this makes me feel much better let’s hope this is just a phase.

Considering his age, I would say this behavior is pretty normal. He is growing. As he grows, he is going to experience changes. Some of this is driven by hormones as they start to “awaken”. So it isn’t unusual to hear stories of young bunnies going through “spook” phases. Or young bunnies suddenly becoming very wary of their owners. It can be like…[Read more]

I do think that if she is eating a ton of hay and drinking water, you dont need to worry a huge lot. Baby buns needs extra nutrients (pellets, alfalda) and so does pregnant/lactating does, poorly buns and some elderbuns, but heslthy young adult buns do excellently on hay only. Its the same with horses, its becoming more and more common for horse…[Read more]

Hmm this is really tough. With an unspayed bun it’s possible that her hormones will cause excessive mounting forever, which would be stressful for both of them. These types of bonds are possible, but it depends a lot on the personality of the buns.

My sense is that they could work out, but I think you’ve probably gone too quickly between the…[Read more]
