Thanks for filling out the template, that is helpful! Great names btw 🙂
So I haven’t successfully bonded a trio, but I tried and gave up LOL. Some people like to work with the hardest pair of the two first, others like to work with the whole group. It’s great that Marshmallow gets along with both rabbits already, so I think focusing on Fluffy…[Read more]

Thank you both! I’m very lucky that the bonding has been fairly smooth and quick. They use the same litter but they are also…buttheads, for lack of a better word! If I take it away they will likely protest by peeing on the rug, so I may change up my litter and start fresh after we move. Hopefully one litter will suffice so we can maximize the…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Happy but not bonded? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 1 month ago
That’s very frustrating. I think I would expect to see some improvements by now given the amount of hours you’ve put in with them, and that does sound like a bit of a backtrack and like you are perhaps stuck in a bit of a rut with them.
It really sounds similar to the ordeal I went through with Bun Jovi and Bertha. Some things to try:
– a new…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Re-bonding: Is it possible with aggressive behavior in one? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 1 month ago
That sounds great! I would wait to do sessions just till after the bunny sitter comes. Once you start sessions it’s good to be consistent, so if you have to take a break from them anyway might as well wait. 🙂

DanaNM replied to the topic Help/Advice – Male + two fighting females in the forum BONDING 5 years, 1 month ago
That’s tough. I do wonder if perhaps they could just be restricted while unsupervised, then while supervised they could free-roam a larger area and you could still spend time with them on the sofa? My Cooper (and my bridge bunnies Bunston and Bertha) could not have unsupervised free-roam because they were just too destructive. So they live in a…[Read more]

Occasional humping is nothing to worry about as long it doesn’t lead to scuffling or aggression!

Congrats! Sounds like it’s going so great!
I use one large box my pairs, but some people use two. If they use it together no problem I think 1 is easier (less cleaning!) 🙂

I completely agree that you should get some proof that she was spayed given the circumstances!

DanaNM replied to the topic Moving house with pets advice in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
Oooh! Lucky that it’s not too long of a move!
I think the main thing is to keep everything you’ll need to set them up (at least temporarily) in one place, and plan to move the pets last if possible. We disassembled the buns main condos and put them on the moving truck, and had them in pens temporarily that we could take last ourselves (kind of…[Read more]

I’m thinking since she’s a relatively new addition, this has been going on a while, and you had some concerns about her care, I would take her to the vet to get checked out (a parasite screening would prob be a good idea). Being underweight combined with mushy poops is worrisome, because it could mean her cecum…[Read more]

Susanne replied to the topic Survived the first at home date! in the forum BONDING 5 years, 1 month ago
I’m glad to hear they have bonded and are happy! They sound “closer ” than my 2 🙂 One of mine is very weird about being under something low to the ground like the bed (he “buzzes” and thumps but stays under running back and forth). It’s odd and I don’t like him under because he won’t come out, so I blocked my bed also. I bought some wooden p…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Not an Emergency, This is a Long One in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 1 month ago
#1: Some rabbits need to be separated at food time if they eat at different paces. This isn’t super unusual. You could also take to sneak feeding Gus later in the day to ensure he gets enough. Re: the mushy poops, how is her hay intake objectively, and then how is it relative to intake of non-hay foods? Typically, as long as a rabbit is eating…[Read more]

Just another update! We’ve been pen sharing since Sunday — so almost a full 4 days with no issues apart from the weird under the bed confusion we had (which I posted about in a different thread). Long story short, Wolfie didn’t recognize Pixie when she was under the bed and was utterly freaked out. Bed is more securely blocked now so we don’t…[Read more]

Hello all, we’re moving house this month and thought I’d ask you guys about things I may have forgotten when it comes to the rabbits and other pets. We’re moving local so we won’t be moving everything in one day, but the large furniture and pets will all be going on one day for the main move. Most likely in multiple trips rather than one big truck…[Read more]
