I agree, her hormones have kicked in! Things should improve after she’s spayed, but it may take a few weeks for her hormones to settle.

If you don’t have an exact birthdate, then you can’t really know for sure, but if you’ve had her since January then she is old enough to be spayed and switched to timothy hay. In fact, even young rabbits can have timothy hay as long as there is alfalfa in the pellets.

Whether she is 9-12 months really doesn’t matter at this point, she’s old…[Read more]

Haha! It’s very normal.  This is a classic case of hormonal marking.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure but played it by ear. The way I set up the enclosure was that one has the run of a hallway and second bedroom (while still having a part of the room with the other bun), and I wanted to let him run around more. And he did a lot of zoomies and binkies! He actually did seem settled within a couple of days. He is not very skittish…[Read more]

What LBJ10 mentions is correct. Please see here for information on the different types of mites and how they each require different treatments: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Mites

At-home treatment for mites is not advised due to guidance needed for actually distinguishing the correct cause (ex. it could be syphilis or fungal infections; not mites)…[Read more]

I know it is a very very extemely sad time, but he lived a long and full life, and is not in pain anymore.

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁 He sounds like he had a wonderful life with you.

I’m glad Slyvester is doing OK, he may have said his goodbyes before Monty went to the vet. Sometimes they know what’s going on before we do.

Binky free Monty <3

Oooh those Dutch rabbits can be very opinionated!

Is the bunny spayed? If not, that could explain a lot of the behaviors! Spaying is also important to prevent reproductive cancer. Can you ask your roommate to get a taller pen so the bunny can’t escape? That seems important for safety issues too.

In terms of bonding with the bunny, do you notice…[Read more]

I usually like to let them just settle in for a week with no side swaps, then do side swaps after that, but if he seems very settled then it’s your call!

I mostly meant the next day if your shipment didn’t arrive early.

I think you will do wonderfully. You are obviously a very loving, caring pet family. Sylvester is lucky to have you.

Binky free, sweet Monty.

Wonderful news! 😊

She is pooping big poops normally again 😄 not tiny and hard, I’m so glad

Thank you all for your kind words and sound advice. We have continued to think things over and have decided to forego taking Sylvester to see Monty. We think the stress from traveling and being in a strange place may outweigh the possible benefit of seeing Monty. We also don’t want to confuse him and/or set him back from his grieving process.

I can’t remember where I saw the idea for the 2×4, but mine aren’t quite 2 inches so hopefully not a problem. Xpens straight across don’t work very well but it’s what I had…Ruby did get to him but only “fake” bit him. I repositioned the bricks to keep the fencing farther apart.

He has become a hyper boy. I thought he was 1.5- 2 yrs old but he’s…[Read more]

Good to know. It pretty much goes away, maybe dries hard for a little bit then he cleans it.

So very sorry for your entire families loss. Praying for peace for all of you.
