What kind of pellets are you feeding? Young or adult formula? I agree with Dana that she’s old enough to be transitioned to an adult diet. I’m sure she won’t be happy about it though. LOL

I used to feed 1/8 cup. That’s 2 tablespoons, right? I feed a little more now because the vet said senior bunnies can have a little extra as long as their hay…[Read more]

I can see the photo now. I agree. It doesn’t look that bad.

after a day of doing pretty well. He’s taken a terrible turn for the worst. He’s totally limp. I can feel the gas but can’t get it out. I don’t think he’s going to make it 🙁

Haha!  Yay!

I love Rew/pew’s too! Bun Jovi is one, and Myra is a Californian. It’s great to see people adopting them, they are often overlooked in shelters.

I think it would be wonderful  to give a scared stray a home and a loving hus-bun. As I said, I think most bonds are possible, and if you go into it with the mindset that it will work out e…[Read more]

Well, talked Hubby into it!

We had only planned on the one bun, so weren’t planning on the neuter…will now call around.

Age is unknown, she was a stray.  But, full grown, it seems.

She is very skittish, probably been through a lot.

I’ll get some pics up later.  She is a PEW lionhead w/”smoked”  ears.

I am a sucker for white fur and have al…[Read more]

I was approved to foster and adopt so I go May 23rd to meet all the bunnies!

Hmmm…. Did you do any cleaning or rearranging of their home room?

I don’t know of any successful bonds with an unneutered male. Even if the female is spayed, unneutered males tend to mount relentlessly, and eventually even the most mellow female gets tired of it.

I think most bonds can work IF both buns are castrated. Most do not work if one bun isn’t castrated. In the past it was more common for bonds between…[Read more]

It could be a case of giving too much space too quickly, especially since he was used to being confined. When he poops, is it single poops, or piles? The first is territorial, the second is just laziness. Same with peeing, does it seem like spraying (peeing in a line or scattered), or big puddles?

They are also a relatively new bond, and…[Read more]

Our pets will very quickly turn us into vending machines if we let them!

I think it helps to stick to a schedule with feeding (especially pellets), and only give them at the normal time, no matter how much they try to convince you that you’ve forgotten to feed them. Remember, her getting hungry during the day is normal, but she should turn to her…[Read more]

From the picture alone it doesn’t look too alarming, but if it seems swollen or fluid filled to you, then call your vet (especially if it seems to have changed quickly). She could have pulled an internal suture.

They learn very quickly that begging can get them what they want. The key is to not give in to their begging. But yes, this is completely normal.

Wonderful! Thanks for the update!

Welcome to BB! I just wanted to let you know that this is a very old thread (11 years) and the OP has not been active for a very long time. If you read this thread, you will see that this isn’t an uncommon issue and that the rabbit probably doesn’t understand what they are biting exactly. I’m going to lock this thread so to not cause confusion for…[Read more]

Minx, and before Minx, Bubby did the same thing. BUT!!! I wasn’t holding them. They will run up out of the blue and bite my nipple. WHY

I’m unable to view the picture, but your description sounds concerning.

Hmm… yeah, I don’t know. During my dog’s last year, I mostly just stood there and encouraged her to finish her food. If I didn’t, sometimes she wouldn’t feel like eating it. From what you’re describing, it seems like you are going through something similar with Teddy. Short of making his space smaller, I’m not sure how you would keep the food…[Read more]
