Ok, thank you. I think I will get a big new tray ASAP.

I know… it was heartbroken to them fighting😔luckily it is going so far so good.

There should be no problem doing it at 9 months. You can pack some pellets and hay for him to have at the vet. They typically provide water… at least my vet does. Make sure he gets pain meds afterward. Sometimes vets don’t think they need it. Boys tend to bounce back pretty fast, but it’s always a good idea to have pain meds in case he needs them.

I think bunnies are more adaptable than people think they are. If we go on vacation, my parents come at times convenient for them. I don’t recall any complaints and have never had issues transitioning back to the normal routine when we return.

my female bunnies are seven years old. By the time I found out that it was a good idea to s spade them. They are already too old. They are bonded amazingly. Pepper is nesting today. I am glad it’s not both of them. It makes a huge mess. I don’t let them free rome  on days like these. My bunnies haven’t heard each other. I know I can’t speak fo…[Read more]

I think you called it correctly after the fight, DanaNM. We just thought after Phil went into stasis, there was hope, as there was no apparent animosity. But I do think the bond is so damaged and the fear is so strong in Tony (not poor Phil, she loves Tony in her own way) that as you say, it’s not that it’s impossible, but is it worth it?

We have…[Read more]

Hi! I’m also located in the GTA area and I was also looking for a cheaper option as it is very pricy lol! But I do recommend Burnhamthorpe Animal Hospital located in Mississauga. I’m pretty sure the cost is around $340 for a neuter (checkup is free) not sure about the spay but I’m sure you can call them for more info!

Hi, by the time we get to him hes hiding in one of his tunnels and continues to thump until I can talk him into being calm again. I cant see his posture but he will settle eventually. I have a very dim night light that I will try as he can still go into his box to sleep if he wants.

Hi

thanks again.
after being at the end of my tether I may take a break- but unfortunately there is a time constraint on how long I have till they have to be happily housed together.  I assumed 4 months would be long enough.
the area they are now in penned separately- in a month will be used for out of state guests.
The bunnies will then be…[Read more]

I am very glad to hear that this is possibility for me. I was worried so much because i heard from youtube videos that having same time for feeding, playing etc. every day helps rabbits gain confidence/is good for them. I understood that as rabbits start to feel very unwell if you keep changing those times. But thank you for telling me it’s not…[Read more]

I think buns would be happy to have you for a hoomin ☺

Woo! I believe we have found a second rabbit friendly vet in the area! Hopefully we can get in for a consult there and establish care and I can really get a sense of if it’s a better fit. Our old vet is basically the next closest exotic and he’s a 5 hour drive. Not ideal

thanks! I will definitely check out more bonding info. I’ve always read…[Read more]

If they were my two, I think I would also call it quits based on the whole history. Some pairs just aren’t good matches, and female-female pairs tend to be the hardest. Also I feel that even if a pair is technically possible, at some point it becomes not worth the risk and stress to the animals to force a bond.

And you know them best, so don’t…[Read more]

Aww sorry to hear that. Some set backs happen in most bonding processes. Do you think they (and you) might benefit from a little break to rest?

When I’ve gotten stuck with my bunnies, often a new location for sessions has helped. I think after long bonding processes the neutral spaces become less neutral. Do you have any where else you could work…[Read more]

You’re welcome!
I actually wrote a blog post for the binky bunny blog about all the conflicting info out there, but it’s not published yet!

And yes, in early stages especially it can be tempting to push thing too far too fast (and end up with lots of fighting), so it’s good to be a little on the cautious side!

It sounds like it’s going very well! But at this stage I would strongly advise you to not leave their side for even a few seconds. Things can happen in a flash (especially in a small space like a tub), so it’s important to be there supervising the whole time.

In terms of water, you can add a bowl and/or give some wet greens to help hydrate them.…[Read more]

That clarifies things! It sounds to me like you would be able to provide a good home to a pair of bunnies. 🙂  I think rabbits are more work than a cat, but less than a dog, if that helps put things in perspective?

I was curious about scheduling because my neighbor is an ultrasound technician, and for a while she was working back to back shifts…[Read more]
