Well… calm is a relative term here. LOL  I do agree that neutering him is probably the best bet, but I understand that his actual owners are not on board with that.

I must have skipped over the “not eating” part. Is he actually not eating? Or is he just eating less? I mean, hotter temperatures and molting can certainly make a bunny feel bleh…[Read more]

Many online sources says Broccoli may cause gas – and even kill bunnies. They also warn against  iceberg lettuce, labeling it ‘poison’ –

I have a kind of unique experience as my bunnie friend (if she thinks of me so), was free – and part of a marvelous bonded pair – who lived happily – until a feral cat attacked the male. – I have her enclosed…[Read more]

Not eating or drinking is not usually associated with hormones or puberty… although if he is only interested in mating then I guess it could happen?

I’ve been around 9 year old un-neutered buns who just want to circle and mount my feet, so I wouldn’t really count on it calming down. The best thing to do would be to get him neutered.

If he…[Read more]

He probably had hormones before now. Just because the testicles didn’t drop until later does not mean he wasn’t getting a full dose of testosterone. Some bunnies will just ease into the behaviors, becoming more and more sexually frustrated.

Will this continue? Most likely. Will he eventually calm down? Probably. It takes time, but most intact…[Read more]

It’s so difficult to know when they are that old since just about anything can start to fail. If it were me, I would try adjusting pain medication first. Bunnies are good at masking their pain and you just don’t know what could be hurting. Even though the weakness is just on one side (rather than both sides), it still might not be a bad idea to…[Read more]

Hi – My first post. We have just done this. Bunnies are too smart for those little cages. those cages are fine for cats and dogs ‘n coons – but the bunnie looks them over and then looks around to find you because they know what you are up to. Finally we cleverly closed off all the escape routes and chased her around for a couple hours until she…[Read more]

The fleece on top is antipill, so the pee just sort of sits on top and you can wipe it away. And if anything, you can just throw the fleece in the washing machine for a quick wash. It takes a while in my experience for the pee to permanently seep into the foam.

I will ask about different medications next time and also mention *all* his issues .

The vets we see are very good. This bun is just extremely gentle and calm compared to other buns. When he bite me, it didn’t even leave a scratch, but for his personality, it’s a hard bite. I didn’t mention him biting; didn’t think it mattered. We went for urgent…[Read more]

Cereal grass is fine for buns!

Barley straw is fine, but straw isn’t food. Hay is food, straw has very little nutritional value and is mostly used as bedding.

Alfalfa is not good for adult buns because it has lots of protein and calcium. Its excellent for young buns up to 6-7 months of age.

Oat hay is fine, but if there is lots of seed heads in…[Read more]

A good tip for when you can’t use ears as a cue is to look at tail position. Relaxed and down is good, pinned up means aggression.

But yeah it’s really expected that they would fight if not in neutral territory, but it’s a good sign they get along through a barrier. Have you done side-swapping?

If you have no neutral space left waiting till you…[Read more]

Thank you!

It’s been so hard cause I feel as though they will do so well. They will try and groom each other thru the gate. Wait for each other to wake up and come out. Binky and zoom when they see each other. But then the two times they’ve been within touching range they’ve fought.

Bear is also hard to read because he doesn’t move his ears.…[Read more]
