Update: I woke up this morning and the water bowl was empty! Phew. So relieved she’s drinking water ♥

Trying some oats, more fruit, will see how that goes

Yes, this sounds very normal with Baytril. I guess I just wouldn’t be overly concerned as long as he’s still eating hay and pellets. Mine had similar reactions… I never had to use a probiotic.

There might be something outside that is freaking them out.

Maybe just leave them inside and see if the black one calms down?

We noticed they calmed down after being neutered which was good and they had such a close bond up until now. They are both separated but our black bunny is just acting out and seems to be really aggressive towards the white bunny when he runs past the hutch as we let them out in the garden to run around (separately) trying to bite through the…[Read more]

I guess he is eating okay, he won’t eat after I give him medication, but he does eat after an 3 hours. He use to be so exited to eat us lettuce, now he’s not as excited when I go feed him [ he is still very excited when I give him pellets] I have to put the lettuce in front of him and that’s when he would eat it. One of the reply’s said it just ma…[Read more]

They have been absolutely fine when they were indoors and then our black bunny just seemed to be really out of character when we put them in their new hutch. They were slowly introduced to the hutch and we’re fine for a week. They had such a close bond up until now and he is just acting out.

Perhaps the other bunny has “better” fur for nesting material purposes? It’s hard to say. As Wick suggested, it’s probably just a convenience thing. I would definitely be wary of these interactions. They could trigger a fight if the other bunny gets annoyed enough.

Oh gosh, that was a nasty fight! I agree that you’re going to have to take baby steps if you want to rebond them. Young bunnies tend to get along with everybody… then things can change when they become adults.

Is he doing OK without the paste? If he’s eating OK and the Baytril isn’t messing up his gut flora, then the GI paste may not be necessary. I’ve personally never had to use a probiotic alongside an antibiotic.

I assume both females are unspayed, based on the fact that one is nesting. Is this correct? Since the topic of intentional breeding is prohibited on these forums, there are not many users who will have experience with females going through nesting behavior (since many people have already spayed rabbits and this stops nesting behaviors).

My…[Read more]

It sounds like they need to go through a bonding process to establish a more secure relationship. They should not be put together unsupervised since such a violent fight occurred. Being from the same litter actually doesn’t too much in terms of ability to get along post-hormonal phase– rabbits will mate and attack their parents and siblings just…[Read more]
