The product you mentioned looks very similar to the oxbow stacks, so they should be the same as regular hay (since you can break them up to be individual strands, right?).

I’ve had to deal with this a bit with one of my pairs. My 12 year old male bun, Bun Jovi, can go through phases of obsessive mounting.

Some things I’ve done:

• Added extra hides, platforms, and tunnels so she can get away from him, and made sure they have plenty of space to run around.
• Had Bun Jovi checked out by the vet for urinary issues,…

So cute!! They are going to make an adorable floofy  couple 🙂

Be warned, I have never seen bunnies jump as high as when they have a new neighbor next door! Especially when one bun is hormonal!

That’s great Sonn! So exciting!

She is so cute!!! Congrats!

@Susanne I can’t believe they would ask “do you have a problem with…”! Seems like a great way to perpetuate the problem!

It’s really perplexing.

Even though it was neutral before, I think I would still try to make it as neutral as possible again. Remove old toys and hides, clean the carpets (you can sprinkle baking soda on them and then vacuum it up), put a new litter box, spray down surfaces with vinegar solution.

Sometimes I think if the bunnies are more…[Read more]

Awww congrats! Boo is a really cute name!

I have had the best luck with completely ignoring new buns for at least a week LOL. I mean not really ignoring, but I like them to get completely settled and feel like their space is their space. I just give food, water, etc. Try not to clean her litter box while she’s in the pen. You can leave the pen o…[Read more]

What is the space like that you’ve been doing bonding sessions in, and how long have you had them together in the neutral space?

Also, how bad was the initial fighting? If there were serious injuries, then it may be very hard to re-bond them.

That said, it sounds to me like they just need more time in the neutral space and a slower transition to…[Read more]

That sounds like very good progress! I would keep up what you’ve been doing!

Not every grooming request has to be met (you just don’t want to see it turn into bickering), and settling into cuddling instead is wonderful (that’s often what bonded pairs do).

If you’re referring to the Oxbow compressed hay stacks, those are a fine substitute for the loose hay.

They’re not quite as good, they don’t get as much tooth wear but the fibre content should be the same.

He was so beautiful ❤ And his burial box is beautiful.

And his licks. The absolute best licks. He gave me a couple extra yesterday, I’m so glad.

going to miss that fuzzy butt so, so much. ❤️

the day before he died, when I thought he was on the upswing.

My fuzzy little runt. How could I not expect my heart to hurt this much?

Not a good hay eater but sure could put away the fresh grass.

I’m working on his burial box, I hope this is not too gruesome to share. It still needs a banana to have all his favorite things.
