Thanks so much everyone for all of the advice!

I’m currently harvesting fur, hopefully I will get enough off her to make some padding. Then it’s on to wrapping…think that might be a 2 man job as she’s been super wriggly when I’m trying to clean her foot.

The spray on band aid seems like a good idea for some extra protection once the hock is…[Read more]

That’s so crazy to me, I’ve never seen one that doesn’t neuter before adopting out because they don’t want the new owners to use them for breeding. Any that adopt out unaltered buns need a stern talking to.

There are so many things we cannot observe/perceive with rabbit relationships… again, just remember the idea is the big picture and day to day fluctuations can be OK and natural!

I second this! It’s much more important to find a personality match than a size match. I have a Polish who is 2.5 lbs of crazy and 2 7 on rabbits. His size does not stop him. Unfortunately he’s crazy, that’s what causes problems lol. He’s been happily bonded with a 7 lb neutered male for several years and has never been hurt by him. My other large…[Read more]

Well that’s a relief!

Happy belated Birthday Teddy!!!

You do not need to worry too much about size — I myself have two rabbits, one of whom is x3 the size of the other and they are fine together. If anything, it’s helpful that the smaller is the more testy one, as his nips do not bother the larger one. That being said, it would be a different story if it’s the other way around.

If you feel you will…[Read more]

There’s actually a rabbit rescue in my area and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spayed or neutered rabbit there. I got one of mine there and had to have him neutered on my own and it wasn’t a requirement of the adoption. It would be better if they were fixed but I don’t think that’s a universal with rabbits apparently.

I fully agree with LBJ. The behaviors you describe are hormonally driven. They’re neither aggressive nor playful. What I can say is that there’s no malice in it.

Wild rabbits live short lives. They are important as prey in the food chain. This means they need to procreate (have babies) as quickly as they possivly can, for the species to…[Read more]

If the sore is open and wet, the bun might need systemic (oral) antibiotics. This is important, because infection can lead to bone degradation if it’s not properly treated. For this reason, open sore hocks require vet attention.

My rabbit had sore hocks after a long bout of GI problems. When he recovered and regained his energy and lust for life,…[Read more]

Is she spayed? What you’re describing sounds like hormonal behavior to me.

Thank you so much, everyone!!  🙂  🙂 🙂

Wow! What an experience 😂😬😬😂 My former bun Masha used to only drink a certain water brand (I forget which one), and if we *dared* to give her tap, she would throw her bowl across her cage 😂. Bunnies truly are funny little furballs. Gotta love ’em! ❤️❤️❤️

Here’s some name suggestions 😉 (not all of them are exactly good XD)

1. Cinnabun
2. Azul (means blue :D)
3. Okeley (means blue sapphire)
4. Oreo
5. Pepper (?)

Now that we have figured out the problem we do see the funny side of it too. Shes a funny little thing. Shes doing very well at the moment, considering. Shes not perfect but much better. I’ll look into the filtration thing. Thank you!

He’s so pretty!!!

I do notice the pattern 😂 I’m adding Crinkle and Waffle to the list.

Happy birthday Teddy!

I like Fry (like French Fry) or Crinkle (like Crinkle Fry) or Waffle (like Waffle Fry)… notice a pattern here? LOL

Yep, bunnies love willow. Just make sure it isn’t treated with chemicals if you’re collecting it outside.
