This sounds to me like it could be about the phenomenon known as the “spook age”. It’s well known in young dogs, but most, if not all, mammals go through a similar stage in their development towards adulthood.

Very young mammals are unafraid and curious and teusting of their environment. They readily explore their surroundings and they dont mind…[Read more]

Yes, can you post pictures?

I have a temp cage set up for my new bun who is also laid back. She sprawls out without a single care in the world. I was in a pinch and gave her a storage cube/box as a hide. At this point, the “hide” has become more of a “throw.” She’s an interior designer and loves to move it around her pen to match her daily aesthetic. So whether or not your…[Read more]

Thank you for being so kind and helpful.  I will certainly take your advice and grab a glass before my first bonding session! I like the idea of a lifeguard or a referee rather than the protective mama bear I am. Shout out to the parents of tiny humans. My child will be bubble wrapped until they’re 18 😅

I use the tractor supply pine pellet stall bedding, which is the litter many rabbit owners use since you can buy a 40lb for $6! I have found it to be much more absorbent (and affordable) than any paper litter I’ve used in the past.

Mine has little stuffies I got around Easter time from CVS. Interestingly he prefers the bunny ones over the llama one. His BFF blue has gotten a little mangey looking, poor thing. But honestly I think it more has to do with the texture. He will lick anything fluffy, including fluffy blankets and pillows. I have an anxious bun so I feel like…[Read more]

Yes that was my original thought. I use so phresh absorbent pellets. Might I ask what litter you switched to? I’m always willing to try something new!

I think the water dispenser I got is 0.5 gallons, and she drinks around half of it every day. If that’s the case then she would be drinking around 1liter per day. I’m going to measure today just…[Read more]

I definitely agree with Wick, especially since it sounds like she is in pain. Cool compresses seems like a great thing to help soothe her ears 🙂

What litter do you use?

I will mention that my Wick, who is a Netherland Dwarf, is pretty small… I imagine like your lionhead?
I adopted Fable, who is an American Sable, later on and I remember being very surprised by how much she drank and how much she peed… we changed litters because of her. We used Carefresh previously, but the entire box…[Read more]

thank you for responding! I heard back from the rescue and they said it didn’t look like that much urine. They instructed me to clean her litter multiple times a day and wait 2 weeks to see if it calms down.  she’s a  foster-to-adopt as a potential bondmate for my current bunny. It seems irresponsible and unreasonable to wait 2 weeks given the s…[Read more]

I would absolutely give her a hide. Even if she doesn’t end up using it much, I think most rabbits would feel much better about having the option.

I would stop applying it and request a different medication from the vet.

Aside from knowing their parent’s, the best that can be done is posting pictures and drawing from people’s experience.

I agree, I think she’d appreciate a hide. Even if she maybe wont use it much, it offers a sense of security just knowing it is there in case she needs it.

Hmm… from personal experience, I would say that Boo could benefit from having a hide. They are perfect places to just chill when buns are stressed, scared, or angry 😉

Ooh good lucky with Walter’s neuter and the bonding!! 😀

Adorable!
