This was really helpful. Thank you!!

Do you think the critical care is causing loose stool? In combination with the medication maybe? I’m just not sure.

You can definitely do that. From my personal experience with one rabbit, it’s definitely possible for a healthy rabbit’s appetite to encompass both critical care and a good amount of hay and other things. When one of my rabbits was underweight, I was told to add critical care to his diet, so I gave him as much as he wanted in the morning (one…[Read more]

So if she is beginning to eat her regular diet, besides pellets, and is eating hay… do I begin to stop feeding as much critical care? To see if she will eat without it?

I’m sorry about what happened, but it’s great to hear she is recovering well!

It is a great sign that she is passing stool. Yes, the ideal is solid pieces, but passing something means the system is moving (i.e. not in stasis).

I would continue Critical Care until your rabbit shows a willingness to graze on hay as normal. As she eats more hay,…[Read more]

As long as she is eating and drinking, peeing and pooping, I’d not worry to much. Rabbit behavior is to a great extent dependant on hormones -not exclusively sex hormones. A spay is a radical intervention hormone-wise, and it takes time for the rabbit to regain hormonal balance. This process is more marked in girl buns than in boys. It can take 6…[Read more]

That’s a good idea!! I’ve gotten to about 4 hour sessions but I’ll make sure to have them stay together longer for the rest of the week and then hopefully I’ll be able to do the 24/7 soon

Awww I love that! Yay for cuddly buns!!

I think if you have time to marathon in your new place, that sounds like a fine plan. I think doing side swaps every day or two sounds fine in terms of pre-bonding. Since they bonded relatively easily the first time (I think?) and never had a falling out really, you might find they re-bond very easily!

How do they behave towards each other…[Read more]

It sounds like you are making progress! They don’t sound bonded yet, but grooming and some cuddling is great. You’ll want to see all the aggression go away though. A little chase or nip is ok, but bonded pairs don’t usually growl or regularly pull fur.

I would go for some long sessions before 24/7, unless you have several days where you can…[Read more]

Thank you for that advice, I’ve been making sure to spin him around as best as I can instead of just pushing him away. Since the last update Thor will occasionally groom Snowball, they’ll also lay down together sometimes, I’m not really sure when they’re considered bonded and to stop keeping them together for only a few hours and to instead…[Read more]

OMG they make such a cute pair! Both are absolutely stunning ❤️ Bunny bonds are probably the cutest thing there is on Earth (other than the buns themselves ;))

Aww thank you! Dorian is pretty darn GORGEOUS himself!!! That first pick of him about to lift up his fencing… classic haha 😎 😉 ❤️
