Hello, I am a new member. We have a female bunny that was born 6/12/2021. We got her when she was 10 weeks old. She was potty trained for a few weeks. Last week she appeared to start puberty. Out of nowhere she got very aggressive with her cage. She started circling my husbands feet, nipping, and honking. Once this started she suddenly stopped…[Read more]

I haven’t noticed those signs that much, but I will definitely mention it to my vet! I’m slightly impressed that Bun Jovi still has a spicy side at his age hahha! Wolf actually used to constantly pee outside of his litter despite being litter trained. He’s been pretty good since moving back he, though. So either his renewed litter skills are a…[Read more]

Yeah he loves hay haha,, loves chasing me when i grab the hay bag but yes thank you so much for your advice!! I’ll definitely keep it in heart,, although mustard greens are cheaper than romaine in my area, i will try my best to look for other greens that can be incorporated in his diet,, i do usually add in some coriander or mint or any other…[Read more]

Yep, sounds like what Bun Jovi does to Myra. 5 is getting older but not quite senior yet in my mind (Bun Jovi is 12!). I do think it will get better with time and is almost certainly from the move, but I would still mention it to your vet. They can do a urine screen to look for an infection, and if they suspect sludge or crystals they can do an…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic New bond after previously failed bond in the forum BONDING 4 years, 11 months ago
I’m glad she is more calm!
I would never remove the barrier pen though (until they are bonded), it’s just an invitation for nipped noses which can lead to bad feelings very quickly!
I think given your history with Phil, I would not be in a huge rush to start sessions. I would go for at least 1 week of settling in (so no side swaps) first. If…[Read more]

My buns usually like to get a drink right after I change the water too. 🙂 You could always refresh it twice a day if you’re worried. I don’t think you need to get a fancy fountain, but there is no harm in offering both a bowl and a bottle. I have a bottle and a bowl, just in case mine knock over the bowl while I’m not home.
Does he eat plenty of…[Read more]

Since his appetite is good, poop is good and he seems all healthy, I dont think he is drinking too little. He probably gets quite a bit of fluids in him from his greens.
The cat-and dog bowls with running water are nice but the filters are rather expensive and need to be exchanged often. They’re especially good for cats because cat notoriously…[Read more]

Thanks so much. That was really reassuring and helpful. Things are much calmer this morning. She’s not annoyed at all anymore and is just really keen to see him. He’s less interested overall but he’s still settling in so that’s OK. He has periods of intense interest. I’ve put her blanket down next to his own and she’s spending a lot of time there…[Read more]

Hi and welcome to the BB forums! This is the right section for your question.
A rabbit should drink 50 -150 ml water per kilo body weight and day. A bun that gets fresh greens will drink considerably less than a rabbit that eats only hay and pellets, because greens consist mainly of water. If the weather is hot, the bun might drink more.
It’s…[Read more]

hello,
i have a 6 month year old bunny and i adopted him since he was 2 weeks old with guidance and proper care from youtube and this bunny forum too, so as i know that a bowl is much more suitable than a water bottle for him, i quickly disagreed with my mother to get one but with monthly supervision on him, my father and i figured out he isn’t…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic 6 month old rabbit has only been fed alpha pellets how to get her on hay and veg in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 11 months ago
Thank you for saving this bunny!
I think the only way to get a bun to try new food is to try offering small portions of it many times. You can cut back a bit on the alfalfa pellets, but dont stop them completely, or the bun might starve because she doesn’t dare try new food. She should have grass hay available to her 24/7. Alfalfa pellets are…[Read more]

We recently adopted this bunny from a family the raised bunnies as food here in Ajijic. It has only been given alpha pellets and possibly very small quantities of great alpha.
I’m beginning to think we made a big mistake she is 6 months old. She is very shy as she has basically had no human contact except to open the cage to drop pellets in. She p…[Read more] -

I hadn’t heard about older males getting hormonal! He’s 5 and got neutered pretty much as early as he could. I don’t think his ears are back? It seems the most that happens is that his ears turn out (to hear) or move back slightly when he thinks he can mount her. But the ears never get in the position you would see if being aggressive. While…[Read more]

When he chases her are his ears forward or back?
I agree that if the chasing is kind of a slow jog (with ears forward) then it isn’t something to be too concerned about (especially if they go back to cuddling after).
How old is Wolfie? Older male (neutered) bunnies seem to get a little extra hormonal sometimes. I haven’t seen much info on it,…[Read more]
