Lmao I can just picture your sulky buns at hoppy hour xD
I love the penned area idea, are any further procautions needed to ensure they won’t dig their way out of a portable pen? And since, as you say, they’re happiest in their own homes, would it even be appreciated? I’ve just noticed he seems to love exploring but maybe outside just isn’t…[Read more]

Wtff what kind kids even do that?? Man the telling off I’d have given them…
Thank you for the insight tho, building pens sounds like a lovely alternative!

I used to take my buns to parks by setting up a xpens at the parks along with hidey boxes/tubes. I’ve also taken them to the beach before, which was a dream for one bun to dig the sand…
Just be aware of dogs and hawks, or once one had a ton of bird poop and at the beach some #$%@ kids came by and threw rocks at my buns.
I find a harness much…[Read more]

Thank you as always for your help/suggestions. I was giving the ivermectin orally before starting the revolution. I will look into the injections and moxidectin. It’s aaaalways something 🙁

They are fully bonded. I brought the carrier out but Biscuit is scared of it and doesn’t approach it, he seems to be eating all right but is very avoidant. On the other hand, Smores has been bored and sleeping a lot, I tried making toys for him but he doesn’t seem interested though he is eating fine. Both rabbits have never been fond of toys,…[Read more]

I think smores is also bored with no room to roam also.

Biscuit@Smores replied to the topic Turning outdoor rabbits to indoor in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 1 year, 3 months ago
I mentioned this in another thread, but my healing rabbit is rather bored, I gave him some toys, but he isn’t interested. Both have never been into toys so, I’m concerned that when I move them indoors they will become under-stimulated on top of that the space to roam would be smaller which may add more stress.
My folk have noticed the issue with…[Read more]

Oh no! But I guess that does make sense. There is the chance for an adverse reaction with any of those spot on treatments, Revolution included. It’s rare though. I guess Fresno is one of the unlucky ones. :/
The only other thing I know of that can treat ear mites is moxidectin, which is an oral medication.

This puts my mind at ease. I’ve been worried that the process is overly stressful on her, especially being in a relatively new environment with new people. I really appreciate the feedback and advice. Thank you!

Hey so I’m back with an update/realization regarding my last post where Fresno couldn’t walk. It happened again yesterday. I thought it was a random occurrence, maybe he strained himself again somehow, but then I put 2 and 2 together… both times this happened to him I dosed him with revolution the day before because he has those recurring ear…[Read more]

I wouldn’t recommend a harness, especially since he doesn’t like being handled. The risks of injury are very high if he spooks while wearing it. In general harnesses require a lot of training to be used. As cute as it is, it is really dangerous to have a rabbit on a lead, especially out in public. Plus, many rabbits hate it! As territorial…[Read more]

Hello! My freeroam indoor rabbit, age 2 is a very happy, energetic and inquisitive little lad and I think he would really appreciate the extra enrichment of going outside every once in a while on a harness if I can get him used to it so I would really love to do this for him if it/s possible. Trouble is he HATES being picked up and I can’t do it u…[Read more]

Gotcha, I have now made the connection with your other thread 😆
I think the best you can do is monitor both rabbits to make sure they are eating normally. Letting them visit each other is a good idea. You could also give each a stuffy and then swap so they other rabbit’s scent is on it (just be sure to monitor for chewing). I’m not sure if…[Read more]

I think this sounds pretty normal and not too bad! In my experience this is the easiest combo of personalities to bond. Bonding can be pretty stressful for buns, even when it’s going to plan. All of the running, thumping, and squeaking is her communicating with him, so that’s actually a good thing, believe it or not.
I would try using a larger…[Read more]
