Lucy is too cute!! Best of luck on her spay and recovery!!

My shelter does remote, but for buns they will let the foster and potential adoptee meet, or I should say let the rabbits meet. You could try asking. That said I am personally finding it a lot trickier, but I love the foster-to-adopt idea. I think you should do it if you feel up for it and I am sure Tater Tot would love a new friend. Or at least…[Read more]

and sorry to post again, but it just remember the early photos of Fresno when you first rescued him, it’s so heartwarming to see his life now… I am so happy for him!! <3

Aww look at that snuggle goodness #frenora!

Thank you, fingers crossed once the humping is out of his system they will be a quick bond 🙂

The litterbox idea is brilliant, I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you for all the tips, this has already been way more helpful than Google haha

Yes, I think no matter what strategy I use she will feel betrayed each time, hopefully once bonded we will be…[Read more]

I hope so! I’ve been working really hard to make things perfect!

I was worried about that as well, but the person who has my rabbit right now was actually selling all of their rabbits as quick as they’ll go so I’m hoping to get at least some of the usual pellets. Should I feed Alfalfa Hay or regular Timothy? That was something I was having a hard…[Read more]

Update: Teddy is doing about the same, but I notice that he has extra trouble noticing/smelling/finding his food — to an extent that seems new (at least as of the past week or so). Like, he goes crazy for oats, but I don’t know if he can detect them very well.  There were some on the left side of his pellet pile just now and I tried pointing him…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁

Mistakes and accidents happen to all of us, and all we can really do is learn from them and try to do better in the future. It sounds like he was very loved and you did everything you could to save him.

Does the rescue offer Foster-to-adopt? That might be a safe way to go, so you can try out a bun at home and if it isn’t a great match, you can swap out for another bun?

FRENORA! <3 <3 <3

It sounds like your first session went really well!

Training to go into the carrier is a good strategy. Sometimes buns refuse to do it during bonding though.

You can also pick her up using the litter box, I think a lot of people have had pretty good success with that.

The other thing that works for picking up in all situations is to confine her…[Read more]

You’re welcome!

Sounds like a good plan! I am dealing with very similar issues with my Cooper. I would LOVE if he could free-roam all the time, but he keeps finding new things to nibble so I’m not 100% confident in our bunny proofing yet. Hoping as he gets older he will calm down a bit too (he’1 about 1 right now).

That’s a very clever idea!

My bunnies love frisee, but sometimes buns can take a while to warm up to a new food. You can offer it along with veggies he likes, and remove it if he doesn’t eat it.

I think Bam just meant that the leaves will keep better if you keep them attached to the head, in a bag in the fridge, as opposed to separating them all and rinsing them ahead of time.

She could be getting a bit arthritic, which can make buns less inclined to hop into their box. I know my seniors all have gotten pretty lazy about pooping in the box. When she peed, did it seem more like dribbling or large puddles? If dribbling, that could be a UTI.

In either case, your vet can assess for arthritis or bladder issues. There are…[Read more]

He hunches up and he does squint.   He does it after he runs around,  chews on the cage and gets on his hind legs to see if the top is still on the cage.   One he is done checking…. is when he sits and clicks.   And it’s like he’s mad at me,  or upset about not being able to get out

It’s hard to say, because you covered his cage around the time you thought you might have hurt him.

Does he seem relaxed or tense when he’s teeth-clicking? Is he squinting or showing any reluctance to move around?
