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]

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. What if they are both females?

Poor little guy 🙁

I know that different motility meds can work on different parts of the GI tract, maybe he needs a different motility med to act on his stomach?

I second Bam that a second opinion may be in order. Did the vet give you a timeline on how long to stop things for?

It’s normal to feel guilty for separating them. You’d feel a lot worse if they ended up having a fight and got hurt though. It’s for the best.

Okay thanks. I think I am not going to make a ramp. Just a second level. They jump onto my desk 40 inches high and back down so not to worried about them getting hurt from jumping down only from falling down. And they would be able to see the top on their back legs if it is one level high… found that out when I was bonding them and one of my b…[Read more]

is it bad that I feel bad for separating them since they sleep together, play and cuddle alot

I’m very sorry you are dealing with this.

The reason why painkillers were stopped is probably because buprenorphine (an opoid) slows the gut, and metacam can be a bit hard on the stomach lining.

Im not sure that you can treat impaction without feeding the bun and giving fluids. Is your vet bunny savvy? You might want to seek a second opinion.
