Yay! Thank you again, Dana! 😀 I’ve been using this set up for her so far and she seems to finally be keeping her space clean, aside from (what I think are) territorial markings… (she’s been scattering poop a lot outside of the litterbox 8-O)

Also, that sounds scary! 😥 I’m so glad to hear though that your bun is doing okay. Haha, these…[Read more]

I would try removing the litter boxes! I’ve found they can cause some territorial disputes early on. I usually wait to add them until sessions get long to add litter boxes. I either do nothing on the floor or pee pads.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. The bonding area is the kitchen and I have two litterboxes and a forging mat. I have noticed that Sierra is very anxious. She always has been (came from a shelter and the shelter said she may have been abused due to how she came to them.)

Fourth Date: About 45 minutes this time with food and two litterboxes.…[Read more]

Hi @annette321 , I moved your thread to the House Rabbit Q&A section.

I’m sorry you are going through this with your bunny. It’s possible  her teeth are still sensitive from the trim, sometimes that happens. Some members have had success with soaking hay and offering that to their buns, or fresh grass if you can get it in your area.

Another sign could be if the bun is straining to pee but only pees a tiny amount or no pee at all. On repeat, through the day.

You as a rule see an increase in water consumption and as a consequence a larger total volume pee than usual.

Thank you guys, are there other signs of rabbit incontinence I should look out for?

Peeing on soft surfaces certainly isn’t unusual by any means. Why he suddenly decided to do it though? I don’t think anyone can say. He could have been really comfortable. Or he could have smelled a new smell and thought, hey, I need to pee on this. If this was a full pee, then I wouldn’t be overly worried health-wise. As Bam said though,…[Read more]

Yes, the flesh part is fine. And like any other fruit – only in small amounts.

A rabbit can pee in his “sleep” if he’s super comfy and resting and being pet, ie in a stste of deep relaxation. My bun Bam could do that sometimes, especially when he was lying in my mom’s lap -he jumped up on her lap himself, so he wasn’t restrained or stressed in any way. He could also sometimes pee on my couch when he and I were…[Read more]

Sorry that happened, it’s so stressful when bonds are disrupted! Usually these types of issues are fixable. It seems like sometimes no progress is being made and then they “snap” back together, so I wouldn’t worry to much about things not working out at this point (easier said than done, I know).

Does the chasing/nipping tend to happen towards…[Read more]

Pus in the ear would indeed indicate an ear infection. Lop rabbits are prone to ear infections. If the infection is inside the ear, it’s very difficult to treat. Outer ear infections are as a rule treated with drops and cleaning, but that would be dangerous if the tympanic membrane isnt intact or at risk of breaking. For a middle ear infection,…[Read more]

Doesn’t look like ear mites. They start in the inner ear and work their way up. This looks like scratches from scraping with long toe nails.

I’ve read it is safe, it small quantities like any other fruit. I have given mine a bit of the melon flesh and had no issues.
