My rabbit Marzian is five years old, and till now, he has never gotten sick before. We left him at the vet for a few weeks while we were on vacation (this was around thanksgiving), and a week after he returned home, he stopped eating and pooping. We took him to the vet’s office, and they checked his teeth and did an x-ray. They said they didn’t…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Sudden bonded mounting? in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 8 months ago
Ah! Yes there could be a bit of excess calcium that’s causing a bit of irritation. The high-calcium veggies that I cut out or reduced for that bun were dandelion greens, parsley, kale, and collards. Dandelion and parsley especially are also diuretics, which on one hand can help flush calcium out, but I did notice a ton more mounting with my bun…[Read more]

This was too sweet I had to share!
I haven’t seen a photo/video thread in a while? Anyone fancy sharing theirs here? 🙂

Thank you for your replies, I’m very grateful!
Yes I do think he buzzes to show happiness, but also when he’s about to mount the doe.
I don’t think it’s a result of stress, as he is usually very relaxed when he does it (in between flumping etc)
I am very interested by the calcium comment, recently we did find a white sludgey wee which I believe…[Read more]

Does it seem really obsessive or constant? If so, then it could indicate stress or a medical issue. Sometimes urinary issues will trigger excessive mounting. One of my males will mount a lot more when he gets too much calcium in his diet, and he also had EC so that could have been contributing.
But if it’s not too constant, I wouldn’t worry about…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic rabbits start argument between 9-12pm? in the forum BONDING 2 years, 8 months ago
I was mostly curious about how long they had been castrated at the time they were bonded. If they were bonded really close to the time they were castrated, they could have been going under hormonal changes which made the bond a bit less stable.
I would try moving them to a totally neutral space during the times you have issues and supervise…[Read more]

Oooh my thoughts are with you during the teenage bun phase! LOL hang in there! Sounds like a good strategy!
Favorite toys for my teenage boys were phone books to shred and cardboard box hides they could redecorate!

The buzzing can be a happy sound too, like if they are really happy/excited to get a treat.
Bonded pairs will mount each other occasionally for seemingly no reason. I’m sure there is something going on in their heads, we just don’t know what it is. As long as it isn’t causing a fight or the other bunny to become distressed then I wouldn’t…[Read more]

My sweet gentle boy has since turned into a crazed mastermind of bunstruction literally overnight! I’ve expanded his cage and have some of his free roam space now covered in cardboard. We’ll reevaluate the crate after we ride this out and his little hormones settle. Thank you!

They’ve been castrated and bonded for several months now. There seem to be no obvious trigger, and the rest of the day they’re just back to their usual self, just grooming each other, eating together, sleeping together in a pile like they always did and do. It’s or at around 9:30 pm or around 11:30 pm that they’ll have this fight and will…[Read more]

Hello!
I have a pair of one year old neutered buck & doe buns. They have been bonded for about 8 months and get along very well, always glued to each other and grooming.
When first introduced there was a lot of mounting from the buck but since now living together, he hasn’t done it. Every once in a while (like once a fortnight) the doe mounts h…[Read more]

It get on her nose and then she brushed herself making the scent get specially on her paws and her head. I made an exotic vet appointment for her and i hope she’ll get better soon. Thank you!!

Is the perfume actually ON her? Like on her fur? Or did she just run over and get a big nose full of the fragrance?

Hmm, yes I agree with Wick&Fable. There could have been some irritation that slightly constricted her airways, so I think a vet visit is a good idea.
