Thank you this is very helpful, my only worry with small spaces is that I have a bunny that with get territorial in a 2ft by 2ft space, do you have any tips to prevent this. Also how large of a space do you recommend and what should o add to the space to make it suitable for bonding?

I think that the Milo pinning his head to the ground is a more dominant behavior, or at least not “submitting”. It could be that he doesn’t trust the other bun enough yet, so is afraid to groom. Grooming is a very vulnerable position for the grooming bun (neck exposed to the other bun), which could explain why Milo is willing to groom the other…[Read more]

I have used the 24/7 method before and have had good luck with it, but I tend to prefer large spaces. Personally I have never had luck with small spaces, and it seems like sometimes buns have issues moving to larger spaces when they are bonded initially in small one. Also I’ve bonded I think 5 or 6 pairs now, and the only bond I’ve ever had fail…[Read more]

Wow, what a turn of events! I’m glad she’s feeling better!

Phil starting to get sick definitely could have set things off between them. An illness in one bunny can sometimes trigger issues in bonds.

Whatever the case, I’m glad they are both doing well now and hopefully things go smoothly in the future!

I think it should be fine, just remember that a small amount of dried oregano would be a large amount of fresh, I wouldn’t give too much. But a be a sprinkle on her pellets or hay could be really enriching 🙂

I think so, my buns have all eaten fresh oregano from my garden.

Try a little bit at first, rabbits are often reluctant to try new food. They may need to be presented with a new food several times before they venture a taste. And even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll like it 😄

Fingers very crossed for you! It will help that he is in a great and loving environment and gets good nutritious food. It sounds like he has found himself the perfect home!

We would be happy for updates 🙂

Hope it is not pasteurella. He is in a huge enclosure, with unlimited hay and some pellets. He couldn’ be happier, binkying around all the time and flopping by my side for cuddles. He really is very active. But he has some nose discharge and the sneezing. I hope we pull through! 💪 Thank you!

Thank you for your answer! Yes, the vet told me he will be on antibiotics 14 days. I REALLY need him to recover. 💜

I’m sorry about the buns you have lost. It is so very hard to lose a rabbit.

Snuffles should be treated. How good the chances of a complete recovery are, depends on several factors. A very young bun’s immune defense isnt yet fully mature. With proper treatment and a good diet of hay and good quality pellets, the bun can recover, although it can…[Read more]

There are many bacteria that can cause sneezing, if it is a URI, and many of them are curable. In my personal experience with being on online forums, most sneezing cases are not the chronic pasturella that everyone is usually concerned about because vets bring it up or it’s one of the first mentions when looking up things about sneezing rabbits.…[Read more]

Hmm… the nail could have already been damaged before the struggle. That might explain why it came off relatively easily and there was no blood. I have seen it before where the nail was damaged from, say getting caught on the carpet. The nail tries to heal itself and then when the outer nail actually comes off, it leaves a little nub behind that…[Read more]

I trim my rabbits’ nails once a month.

I would say just make sure it stays clean and monitor that it heals properly. It is great that it didn’t end up bleeding. At this point, we just want the body to heal as it’s designed to and ensure no infections or anything interferes with that.

I would also just touch and maneuver the fingers around a bit…[Read more]

Thanks for coming back and updating! Force-feeding meds can be hard, but glad to hear you were able to manage!
