That’s so wonderful to hear! Thanks for the update. Wishing you more improvements and progress in the future for you and your buns!

By them lying by each other, is this on separate sides of a divided pen, or during a date?

Quick update! The first night, they already began lying by each other and trying to stay close to each other. We’re also working on associating them being nice and close with treats. Fingers crossed for more improvements soon 😁

Yes, cabin is not an option because I need to drive. But thank you for that information, it’s very helpful. I would not have thought of bringing metacam but now I will check that out!

I would not do airline cargo. The pressure and temp changes can be really dangerous for bunnies. I’m assuming there is no option to have them in the cabin with you?

I just drove cross country with my 4 buns (6 days driving, buns aged 1, 3, 6, and 12) and they handled it much better than I was expecting!

I would talk to your vet and have them s…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m happy that you got to experience her love and presence for 12 years. I also try to focus and think only of the happy times and the love he gave me. I never imagined my sweet boy would leave me after 7 years. Never fathomed the possibility of it and it happened so suddenly. I try to not think of those last two days…[Read more]

Dental problems are a common cause when a bun starts being picky with food. Some buns will avoid hay, others may avoid pellets. Sometimes you see the bun take food only to drop it  immediately, or the bun gets excited for food and comes running for it  but doesn’t eat it.

Due to the rabbit’s anatomy  the molars and premolars can’t be seen wi…[Read more]

Yup. The pain is so hard. I lost my Bonny two weeks ago today. There are no days for me without tears. I miss her terribly and we will not go through this again — she was absolutely irreplaceable. Bonny was a couple of months shy of 12 years old. I know she had a good, long, LOVING life. That doesn’t seem enough for me yet. She passed while under…[Read more]

Hi
We did a 12 hour session with the bunnies yesterday and although they have been together for very long periods before – yesterday was the first time (I now realise) that Louie has actually acted  aggressively. All previous little chases and nips did not have the intent that the couple yesterday had. Louie also went to bite Milo on the face…[Read more]

Be alert if your rabbit is eating it. If so, I would stop access until you can get a clear answer, preferably from a rabbit-experienced, exotic vet!

I think that is what I’m going to try! I found some organic garden dirt online (chemical-free, seems to be bunny safe) and I think I’m going to try that. If it doesn’t work good, I’ll try something else 🙂

I can tell they both want to be friends and they actually seem to enjoy each others company, sitting beside each other through the x pen. Marshmallow really complicates things as well, and neither bunny has submitted yet. Fluffy is the dominant one over Marshmallow so I think moose will hopefully submit to him?
The first session I did was all…[Read more]

Ok good to note. I’ll break up any of those fights. Moose is scared of fluffy and usually flees before things can get too rough. Fluffy usually then chases him and I break it up or pet fluffy to calm him. Fluffy usually starts to relax and sit down, sometimes next to moose and I pet them both next to each other.

Spay/Neuter
Are your bunnies spayed/neutered?
Yes

Housing
two x-pens, side by side. Marshmallow (female) and Fluffy (male) living together. Moose in a separate x-pen. They have a play area that they both use daily and can see from their cages.

Bonding background
Did you allow the bunnies to “settle-in”?
Yes
How would you describe your bun…[Read more]

we are back to normal, but I hear there is another heat wave heading towards west coast of US and hurricane in Florida… so hope everyone and their buns is doing okay! Haven’t heard of crazy heat anywhere else (out of season that is) so fingers crossed that’s true.

I feel so silly for not thinking to do this earlier. Thanks again, Wick! After circling snd trying to find a way in, this the face of defeat:
