Activity

I would definitely not reinforce it by giving her pellets when she does it. Pellet time is often a very energetic time for rabbits, and that excitement can lead to nipping. You can try changing when pellet time is so that behavior doesn’t get reinforced due to anticipatory energy motivating the behavior to come up. You can also change how you feed…[Read more]

Sorry, subconsciously wasn’t the right word. I meant unknowingly enabling. Again sorry!

Çok teşekkür ederim, çok naziksiniz. 🤗🤗 Söyledikleriniz beni mutlu etti, doğru bir şey yaptığımı duymak beni mutlu etti. ☺️ 

Timothy samanı Akdeniz’de de yetişmez sonuçta ben Türküm ve Akdenizliyim. 😆 Yani burada başlarda çok ciddi bir kültür şoku ve üslup sorunu yaşadım. Biz Akdenizliler biraz hızlı, heyecanlı ve samimiyiz. 😆😆

I’m sorry you have had to go through this.

Most rabbits do forgive their owners once they recover, but it is very stressful both for you and your bun while it’s going on. You have to give meds, and a cone is often of need after surgery. It’s not nice for a bun to wear a cone, but it’s a lot worse for the bun to hurt himself.

A male bun typically…[Read more]

Oh Bam, I’ve been devastated for a week. It will be long but I will tell you everything I’ve been through.

Cookie had neutering surgery on Saturday last week. the vet put a cone on his head because he doesn’t have a post-operative clothes in Turkey. And the cone remained on Cookie’s head for 5 days, was devastated. He couldn’t drink water by…[Read more]

I’ve had him for 4 months now. he has 1 hide out in his cage. I have hardwood flooring so I’ll try adding more rugs.

Thank you all so much!

It can take more than one week, just like swelling and brusing can in a human – but you should see it getting better continously.

It’s great that he has a good appetite! If you could get us a picture of the area, it would be helpful. It would probably require that someone else takes the picture while you sit and hold him against your body. (It’s…[Read more]

Yes, he eats and poops well. But it’s been exactly a week today since he had surgery. So I’m not sure how many days it’s normal to still have some swelling in his left testicle. 😐😐😐

Im currently bonding 2 bunnies. I had my boy for 5 years and I *thought* he had a strong personality, would be territorial and would hate not being the center of attention. I was very wrong. He’s actually the submissive bun in the relationship! I live in a 1BR apartment that he had free roam of, so I decided to bond at my family home where there w…[Read more]

Very good tips in this thread!

Some bottled (flat) water is good to have at home in case the water supply is compromised f ex by heavy rains. (Maybe you always have bottled water at home anyway).

Puppy pee pads are great to line the carrier with, or the litterbox. The bun might have to stay in the carrier for many hours if you need to leave the…[Read more]

Some swelling is normal, and it can persist for at least a week. Some bruising is normal too. It should gradually go away through. It’s good if you can take a picture every day, so you can compare the day-to-day changes.

If the testicle sack swells to the size of a ping pong ball, you should take him to the vet again. It might means there’s a…[Read more]

Hi guys! Ok so we might be having trouble in paradise (sorry for the length). This morning I woke up and everything was fine. Typically pixie gets hangry and a bit agitated in the morning, possible because of her previous neglect. I typically scatter a few pellets to keep her calm while I go get them breakfast. well I went to the bathroom before…[Read more]
