Activity

I always used the “sit” method. You sit on your knees and sandwich bunny between your legs. Be sure to tuck your feet in so bunny can’t wiggle backward. For nail clipping, it really depends on the rabbit. Have you tried placing him on an unfamiliar surface, like a table?

How’s your bunny now?

Thanks for your advices. Yes we have RSPCA , I am also thinking to adopt one.

new to this forum, will definitely read the rabbit info and get well prepared this time.

One of the rabbits was old age, one was only 1 year old and had an unknown illness (the vet did a necropsy but couldn’t find a problem). Another was older (9), but was having symptoms of gastric distress. We don’t know if it was stasis or something like liver torsion. So it’s been a mix.

If you are considering another rabbit I would recommend…[Read more]

The dominance hierarchy gets shuffled in a trio. It sounds like they just need more time together. Patience is the number once ingredient for bonding. 🙂

Yes, paint that is safe for kids should be OK. Or you can “paint” it with food coloring.

Plain Cheerios are fine in moderation. There are definitely worse things.

Hi DanaNM,

Thanks for sharing your story. You have / had so many rabbits. You are definitely a bunnies lover!

rabbits do give us joy . They are lovely.

Sorry for the misleading title! He’s a very adventurous rabbit, when I leave his play pen open he hopped right out and explored the house! I was really surprised. Whenever I clean his litter box, I just put his carrier inside and he goes right in, then I pick up the carrier with him inside and finish cleaning the litter box. This seems to be a l…[Read more]

Today I added marshmallow (female) to the bonding session. Fluffy and moose were laying together and it was going well so I added marshy to the pen. At first marshy didn’t seem to acknowledge moose and her and fluffy groomed each other. Then marshy groomed moose and they were all getting along. Marshy even lay down between fluffy and moose.

It’s very hard to lose a bunny. 🙁

I currently have 4 rabbits (2 bonded pairs). I’ve had house bunnies for I think around 12 years, and have had 3 pass away over that time (Bunston, Moose, and Bertha). This forum has definitely been a source of support each time. <3
