Oh man, that’s so stressful!
I don’t know that Koda is more fragile necessarily, but I think Bear is just biting to injure when they get in these fights (sometimes in fights the buns are really just nipping or fur pulling, and not biting that hard).
I think your experience in a true bonding session will be different, or at least worth trying. …[Read more]

For my senior I used sheepette, a medical type of faux shearling, on top of washable pee pads (which was a past suggestion from Wick&Fable!). It gives good traction and any pee goes straight through to the pee pads so bun stays dry. I got a couple large pieces and was and rotate once a week or so (more often towards the end of his life when his…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Handling senior / elder bun in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 1 year, 2 months ago
I agree that he could be experiencing some pain with being handled. If you aren’t noticing a big difference with the meds it could mean he needs a different dose or dosing schedule. My bun did well on metacam and tramadol once his arthritis got bad.
My senior also experienced an EC flare when he was around 13 that I thought was just worsening…[Read more]

The flannel actually covers the entire area but young bun digs everywhere; every single one is literally in tatters regardless of how thick it was. And, it’s not just edges but everywhere. I actually threw in old tshirt and they both ignore it! No digging or trying to sit on it… very strange.
I LOVE your flooring thing. Seems very plush. Your…[Read more]

If it’s just a one-time incident, she should be able to clean herself. If the fur is stained, even a butt bath isn’t going to get the stain out.

Hmm… well, he could be painful. Or he could just be a cranky old man. My bunny would bite when he wanted to be put down. He pretty much just accepted being handled though in his old age. Maybe he was just too old to fight back at that point. Haha!

I have meloxicam and gabapentin for him. Have to admit not consistent in giving it to him. He was really good about taking his meds but these days, he sometimes just refuses and I stopped forcing him to. As far as I can tell, the meds doesn’t seem to make a huge different in his behavior (he stretches quite a bit)
The vets said his arthritis is…[Read more]

There is concern with using the two together since they both slow blood clotting and can (in theory) cause bleeding problems. I would ask your vet if it’s something that would be OK short term and what the risks are.

Yes, I would definitely try the xpen route over a little cage trap. And even if they do humanely euthanize the bunny, that’s better than it suffering.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Another flooring questions in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 1 year, 2 months ago
The main thing is wanting something soft that doesn’t slip around. A lot of owners will put a towel, fleece, blankets, etc. directly on top of slippery floors, so it is not helpful for traction/padding, in addition to making it an easy target for digging up and chewing. A couple options come to mind:
- A larger rug that covers a big area so it’s…

Have an senior/elder bun who needs soft flooring. However, his friend is a much younger girl who loves to dig and rip things.
My default flooring is flannel on top of something or other. The girl completely destroys it so I’ve been laying scored cardboard on top since I have tons of packing boxes. This saves the flannel a little bit and it’s…[Read more]

Welcome to Binkybunny Francis! This is an old post (from 2011), so you’re likely not going to get replies back from the OP. I recommend creating your own topic in the forum instead. I will be locking this topic since it is old.
Directly to your question for now though, a picture of his set-up would be helpful. Rabbits often pee while they’re…[Read more]
