Hmmmm, was this a tussle that you had to break up? Did these happen while they were penned?

Have you been syringe feeding her? Often times syringe feeding is the most important thing to get them back on track.

Hot weather and molting can trigger some tummy issues in buns, so providing supportive care is important.

I hadn’t gotten him neutered before just because it was never an issue, he has always been really gentle and sweet. I had a feeling that after this incident I would need to get him neutered, but wanted to see what some other bunny parents thought about the situation. Thank you for all of your help!

I’d like to chime in with what LBJ wrote earlier: This could be about a uterine problem If a bun has open pyometra, there can be a ample sticky white/yellow/brown discharge from the vagina. The best remedy is of course a spay, but if thats not possible, oral antibiotics could help -at least for a while.

Open pyometra is a lot better than closed,…[Read more]

That does sound really hard — I’m so sorry.  It sounds like worth it to at least bring her in to get checked out re: these recent liquids you described and the conditions that DanaNM brought up, such as infection?  And again you could hold off on the treatment for a day so you have time to research their suggestions if you want.

I’d definitely r…[Read more]

I’m so sorry that she is still sick!  Here are the pellets I got for Wally and it looks like they will ship to Saudi Arabia but the shipping is really expensive. I’m also not sure that this is what she needs since the hay diet didn’t help. It seems like she probably has a different issue. Since she isn’t spayed I’m keeping my fingers crossed that…[Read more]

It can probably be saved but they’re going to need a break from each other (as much as possible in your close quarters situation) and then prebonding again. Do a LOT of prebonding including switching bunnies into each other’s houses, not just litter boxes. After they have had a break you might also try getting a 2nd separator so there’s a good 6…[Read more]

I agree with those above that your puppy is causing your rabbit to feel territorial, and this is likely highly facilitated by the fact that Raf is not neutered (spaying is for females). Options would include getting Raf neutered and doing slow introductions and/or housing them in a way that they are safely separated from each other. Both animals…[Read more]

Thanks, Bam. I appreciate you and Wick taking the time to write back.

The bunnies got into another tussle this morning with fur getting pulled, mostly fur from Wolfie. It was similar to the tussle a few weeks ago in that there were no injuries and no animosity between them. In fact, pixie almost seemed apologetic afterward. It’s so confusing because they spend so much time together and they haven’t had any fight…[Read more]

It’s very normal for an intact rabbit to pee and poop all over the place, in fact it’s surprising he’s this old and you’re just now seeing this type of behavior. The new puppy most likely flipped that hormonal switch.

There isn’t much you can do except keeping them apart and getting Raf neutered.

I agree with Wick. Rabbits can REALLY love cardboard. I had a bun that insisted on remodelling his cardboard houses in the middle of the night though, so that can be a problem if your bun is free roam and has houses in your bedroom. I had to take away the bedroom houses at bedtime  so he had to remodel (=improve) cardboard houses in the living…[Read more]

Thank you so much!

This is really helpful! Cardboard is the majority of Harry’s toys that he does play with, so I am encouraged by your approval of that!

I have bought him chew toys, like grass mats, apple sticks, boredom balls with treats inside, bamboo bowls, etc. He’s only interested in them for a day. But cardboard hidey houses and small…[Read more]
