Congrats on your new bunnies!

They’re getting close to that age where they will hit puberty. They should be separated once they hit 12 weeks of age, as Wick said, even though they are siblings they will mate and/or fight.

The diet sounds good. A rabbit should always act hungry. It’s when a rabbit do3snt act hungry or refuses food that you should worry. As long as he eats hay and has ample hay (and water) available 24/7, he wont starve.

Rabbits can however eat too fast, which should be prevented. They can choke on pellets, which can be fatal. To slow down the…[Read more]

E cuniculi is what first comes to mind when a bun has seizures. E cuniculi is a microscopic parasite that affects organs with high blood flow, typically the brain and/or the kidney. The bun can carry the parasite for many years, without any problems, then suddenly a flare-up may occur and the bun becomes symptomatic.

An ear infection, as LBJ also…[Read more]

I would definitely suggest having him evaluated by a vet when you can. He seems OK right now, but there’s nothing that says this won’t progress. If these are seizures, then that would be very concerning. Treatment for EC is relatively inexpensive, but you will need a vet to make the diagnosis. Other things can cause seizures as well. Or, if these…[Read more]

Since you mention being new bun-parents (congratulations!), rabbit family dynamics are very different (or non-existent, to say it another way). Please note that brother and sister rabbits will still try to fight/mate with each other once they hit puberty, which will be very soon for both your rabbits. Also, them getting along as babies now (if you…[Read more]

Bonding can be difficult. We have a bonding template that you can fill out to give people a better idea of your situation. You can find it here: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/bonding-template-read-me-for-bonding-help/

For the immediate future, if them being together is leading to fast and intense fights, I would stop all bonding attempts…[Read more]

I’ve seen none of those things in him at all. He’s been totally normal, and i’ve just learned as well that he’s around seven, so that might have something to do with it? Information around him is a little complicated, I apologize for that severely.

You worry about things like EC when a bunny is having what appears to be a seizure. No weight loss? Decreased appetite? Incontinence? Head tilt? Rapid eye movement?

He doesn’t have another symptoms at all, he just ended up going back to normal after a bit, it just happened randomly and out of nowhere. That’s why it’s so odd to me.
And I don’t know exactly how old he is, i’ll have to ask my mother, but he’s certainly not like an old man.

I would also say that her hormones are probably starting to kick in. Plus he probably smells different since he was neutered and that could have contributed to setting her off as well. I agree, it’s best just to keep them separate until after she has been spayed. It will cause more damage to their future bonding chances if they get into a really bad fight.
