Dorian is very wary of new foods, not my new houseplants or my snacks mind you, just stuff he can actually eat. He hasn’t been quite as dramatic as Tater, but he will run away and watch it from a sheltered area for a bit. Sometimes I have to eat it first. He actually prefers the tops of strawberry to the berry, he hates papaya and will toss it…[Read more]

No theme personally, but I would love to see photos of the potato patch and the blue & grey ones!!

Actually the play area I’m going to make is 0nly 8×10, so would that be okay?

Yes, unless it is insanely obvious, a vet would not be able to see a dental problem simply by glancing in the mouth. Molar spurs are often small and, as Bam said, it is very difficult to see in there without using an otoscope. I would definitely have dental problems ruled out just to make sure that isn’t what is causing the problem. Some bunnies…[Read more]

For a smaller space where they will be unsupervised but sharing a wall, I recommend using a mesh small enough that they can’t nip noses through. You can use 1/4″ hardware cloth, or these small mesh grids:

Nose guards?!!

Thank you for all your help,

I will try to use a seperater for inside the huge dog cage for when they sleep and they can still see each other so it makes me feel alittle better and I will switch off putting them in the playpen for exercise or split that in half too.

I’m new with bunnies so this has all been very helpful. They have an…[Read more]

That sounds like a good play schedule!

I agree that a second x-pen is probably the easiest solution! I’ve also used NIC cube grids to make temporary cages and fencing for bunnies in various phases of the bonding process.

And yes it’s normal to feel guilty, but it’s best to separate while they still like each other so when you re-unite them (post-hormones), they will hopefully be like…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to hear that. 🙁    True bloat is very often fatal.

Again I’m so sorry for your loss.

The toy ideas sound great. I have already knew about and have used most of them.

I don’t think I could enlarge the hutch or remove the rooms.

I think I could manage the following schedule for their playtime. in the 12×12 or 8×20 area.

Sun and fri 2 hours

mon and wed and sat all day

tue and thurs all morning 4 hours

Thank you, you wer…[Read more]

Based on the materials you have, perhaps one could stay in the dog crate and the other in the playpen? Since the dog crate is likely small, you’ll want to make sure that rabbit especially gets a good amount of free roam time. It may be worthwhile to get a second xpen now, as the bonding process works best when you have two xpens to work with…[Read more]

Thank you for your replies guys, unfortunatley he passed away this evening 🙁 i am heart broken but i’d like to think he is out of his misery, i just loved him so so much

That is really good to know thank you,

Do you have any thoughts on how to set up a cage for that. I have 1 big dog crate for my bunnies, lots a space during the night and they get their playpen most of the day.

It is still the same recommendation — separation is not just recommended to prevent pregnancy. Rabbits will likely fight with each other, female to female included (even if sisters).

Hi there, welcome 🙂

I’ll try to answer your questions:

+ What toys do you reccomed that are cheap, safe, natural and worth the money?

cheap/ free things could be paper towel rolls stuffed with oat hay, willow branches (or other safe twigs), phone books for shredding, cardboard boxes turned into hides for “bun-struction”. My bunnies also love…[Read more]
