Okay, I’ll keep monitoring her. Thank you so much for your help! 💖

It looks like a reaction at the injection site. If the swelling is going down, then that’s good. I agree that you should watch it to make sure it continues to improve.

here’s a picture. i don’t know if you can see clearly though. the swelling has reduced a bit today and there’s less pinkishness around the area. just a little white lump. some rabbit experts told me to monitor for 2/3 days and if it gets worse check with a vet.

If you really want it to work, yes, spaying the older female will give you the best chance so that her hormones do not add another variable into the equation. Even if she is not explicitly acting hormonal, the presence of a hormonal female can bring about hormonal behaviors in other rabbits who are fixed.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Thanks for the new link and the information, I feel more calmer now that I have some explanation for what’s happening.

I will stop the bonding process for now and wait till their are older. I will get them both spayed and then start the process via the link you provided.

So just to make sure: If I really want a quad…[Read more]

Oh, how exciting! I’m sure the days are going to seem very long as you wait, but your new puppy will be here before you know it!

I agree that there are generally positive signs happening. I concur with removing the litter boxes, as I too have found they can cause some issues. This includes things like hidey holes and potentially anything else you add to the bonding environment.

The small lunges are not “ideal”, but them not escalating to fights is good. They need to do a…[Read more]

None of those are outwardly aggressive signs, so that is a good thing! We worry when first meetings are immediately aggressive, but many of those behaviors aren’t things a rabbit would if particularly stressed by the other’s presence.

So wonderful that you’d like a hoppy ending for everyone. I think a slow approach is a safe way to go and you can…[Read more]

Overall it sounds like things are going ok!

I think I would keep going with the pen, but remove the litter boxes for now. I’ve find they always tend to cause issues, so I just use puppy pee pads until the buns seem basically bonded and I’m cementing.

Thanks for your reply, Wick!

I initially thought “let’s do the 3 day technique that the bonder did” but I’m thinking I want to slow it down to maximise the chances of success, if slowing it down will do that.

Poor ol Phil has been through the mill with her old bond breaking down and I really want this to work for her. It’s been a long few months…[Read more]

Oh, a puglet 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much for the quick reply. It was in 2019, her vet recommended having her tested for EC after she was sick for awhile and her kidneys got drastically worse within a month (she had blood work done 30 days apart). Came back positive and she was on fenbendazole for 28 days, she started getting better after the first 7 days. She was put on…[Read more]

OMG, I love pugs! Can’t wait for a picture!
