Thank you so much on the information and the advice you have given!! Not planning on bonding moon with any other bun since they are the only bun in the house and also I would like to ask about the room restriction? How could I restrict him from moving around after spaying? I am currently watching almost all the videos about spaying on youtube…[Read more]

So you’re transitioning from Timothy pellets to Alfalfa pellets? If you’re unhappy with the quality of the old pellets I would switch him to Oxbow adult pellets at this point. What breed is he? At his age he doesn’t need Alfalfa pellets, unless he’s a giant breed, once they stop growing there’s no need for Alfalfa at all. Eating both Alfalfa hay…[Read more]

Spaying a female rabbit is a lot more invasive than neutering a boy. So you need to find a vet who has done many stays and has the right equipment to properly sedate the bun. The risks are higher than with a male neuter, but so are the risks if you don’t spay. Single males are neutered mostly for the owner’s convenience, female rabbits are…[Read more]

I’m very sorry to hear about Nia’s passing. You are absolutely welcome to post separately about Nia in the Rainbow Bridge. Binky free Nia.

Regarding your bulleted questions:

• Deciding if/when to get another rabbit is going to be dependent on both yourself and Ta. Every rabbit and owner manage grief in different ways. At the minimum, I do…

Obviously, this isn’t ideal. But it is better than having them fight or mate (if it turns out there is one of each sex). They should be kept separate until they can be spayed (and/or neutered). Once that is done and they are healed, you should be able to bond them properly. This will also cut down on aggressive behavior toward your cat. As long as…[Read more]

Most people don’t use a liner in the litter box. The litter itself should be sufficient in soaking up any liquid.

It doesn’t look like it is an emergency… but I agree with Dana that this may need to be addressed by a vet. If there is a lump there, that would suggest it isn’t a simple case of a sore hock. Wick is correct though, pressure sores can develop on the front feet.

I, as well as many others don’t actually line litter boxes — I may spay the bottom with vinegar and wipe it after a short soak occasionally if it seems it needs it.

There was fur all of the floor from their circling. But I don’t think either is injured. I have a camera that I’d been checking on them throughout the night since they were together. I happened to catch their fighting last night.

my goal for now is them being comfortable as neighbors.

Was either bunny injured? If not, then hopefully things will be salvageable. I think it was very good that you were there to break up the fight.

I think it would be best to just let them cool off and take things one step at a time! Especially if hormones are at play, things could change a lot for the better with some time.

Bald patches are definitely normal. I think they stand out more when a rabbit has white fur because the skin in pink.

I just typed up a reply to Wick&Fable and repeat myself a bit here.
yes it is the new girl who got spayed just over a month ago. My male was done in July. I also figured that things went so well starting from the beginning might be due to the new girl not showing her “true” self yet. My male was automatically in the lead since he’d known the routi…[Read more]
