If it has really been that long I think you need to see the vet. Can you give him back his old litter tray to see if he uses it?

Maybe find a paint that is labeled as non-toxic for kids?

I have not found any pee anywhere. Unless he has peed in the liter box and it dried up. He seemed fine though.

Could he be peeing somewhere else in the house?

Thank you again Dana- and thank you for replying and keeping me (relatively) sane during this whole process.

we are a week in to them being together the whole time. I did not separate them (my daughter changed her plans and remained home to check on them) but we will need to be able to leave them alone soon.
I think they are bonded or at least…[Read more]

I would think he can’t hold it forever. He feels fine though running through his house, still eating and drinking. Same old bunny.

It has been since yesterday mid day I think. I have not really went digging in the liter but it doesn’t look wet. I am beginning to worry but he should go you would think.

The flipping thing is kind of a lesser of two evils thing. Vets often do it for nail trims, x-rays, and other procedures where the bun might otherwise need to be sedated. I’m just thinking at his age it might be a bit too much for him.

Here is one method that might work for him if he’s fine with being handled in…[Read more]

It could have been?

If it was from the chipmunk, I would think she would get better over the next couple days as the smell goes away. If not, then I would have her checked for bladder issues, because it could be a weird coincidence.

Have you tried using Feliway for your kitties? I got the spray and it seems to help my cat Toby with new places. You can spray it in the carrier and the new house and it may help her.

You have also prob already heard the tip of having the carriers out and open all the time, so the kitties are used to them and they smell familiar?

I don’t think it would be harmful to try giving him some CC and a probiotic in the meantime. Some bunnies will eat CC on their own, which is great. Bene-bac (the paste) is a commonly used probiotic for buns.

How long has it been since he peed? Some bunnies will hold their pee for a little while when their litter box is removed, maybe he doesn’t recognize the new box?

It could have been the hidey- house for sure. I would just keep a close eye on them for the next 48 hours or so to make sure things are OK. Sometimes little tiffs happen when you move to a new spot or change things up early in the bond, so you just need to make sure things improve.

It’s not normal for bonded buns to have scuffles where fur is…[Read more]

Sounds great!

I think go with your gut on whether to separate them. I think since they haven’t had any fighting or chasing since Tuesday they are fine to leave for a bit, especially if it’s during the day when they typically rest. I also think that since they are in a space that’s big enough for them to move around then it makes it safer (vs.…[Read more]

Agree, sounds like it’s going well! My buns often try to groom each other’s bums, but usually the other rabbit doesn’t like it and will leave LOL

Both rabbits will groom, and often the mounting rabbit will groom before mounting. I don’t think it’s a problem that she’s grooming after.

I’m convinced that half the time both rabbits think they are dominant, so try not to worry too much about which bun is dominant and submissive. As long as you are seeing positive behaviors like grooming and…[Read more]

Ignoring each other is not a bad sign, because they are still deciding not to fight. Rather than mess with the space and forcing interaction, just start increasing the length of the sessions.

I usually bond in a large space, and have found that forcing them together in a small space often leads to fighting for me personally.
