Don’t fret! It’s better to block things and prevent fights if you aren’t sure. As your confidence builds and you get a better sense of their behaviors, you will feel better about when to intervene and when not to.

But that’s great they accepted pets together, and sounds like the new housing set-up will help!

Ugh, I feel like I made things worse by blocking all of those behaviours – then again she can easily escalate things so who knows.

Yes, they do enjoy being petted! About a week ago I even managed to get them to sit nose to nose while I petted them both. I’ll keep alternating who I’m petting so they can smell each other.

As of yesterday I have 2…[Read more]

Young bunnies shouldn’t really have treats, and it’s recommended to wait to introduce veggies until they are 12 weeks old. Then you want to introduce each type slowly, no more than 1 new veggie a week, because their digestive systems are still getting established. It’s most important to establish good hay eating habits at a young age, and too many…[Read more]

It’s of course very wise to go ahead with the echocardiogram! If there is tissue damage to the heart, it could be medically addressed regardless of the  cause.

It’s wonderful that you’re seeing improvement! And yes, rabbits are just horrible with their subtle, barely noticeable compromized-health-induced behavioral changes. But that’s an…[Read more]

Thank you for that extra information. I didn’t know it affected the heart, but it does make sense. I have decided to go ahead with the echocardiogram anyway as a precaution. At the very least I’ll find out if there’s any serious damage to worry about and allow us to treat accordingly. That’s on Friday.

On the plus side, I do think Luna is…[Read more]

We are a nation very fond of eating😂 I love cooking, i always cook. I cook 5-6 kinds of food a day. I make my own bread every day.

I constantly have to pay attention to my weight. I can’t eat half of the food I cook, my husband always eats 😂😂😂.

For example, i am always making Turkish delight. but i do it unsugar. There is always Turkish…[Read more]

Haven’t been able to find anything lately on the internet. I see a difference in louies behavior. I’m concerned he may be sick or is in pain. Usually he’s very hyper active but for the past few days he’s been laying down, sleeping, biting the walls(I take him off), sneaking some cat food(1 pellets maximum). He’s always excited to get his daily veg…[Read more]

Isn’t granite porous? I would be worried about stuff growing in it and it being difficult to clean.

I’ve been peed on before due to stress… but I don’t think randomly peeing on the bed would necessarily be a sign of stress. Peeing on hay is normal. Perhaps the abnormal peeing is more of a pain response?

I wouldn’t think so. Fruit flies aren’t known for carrying mites. Well… at least not the type of mites that would feed on mammals.

Could you try a different litter? Maybe paper-based would smell less aromatic?

Would it be okay to feed him both? Unfortunately, I have a bale of alfalfa hay now so… I’m gonna need to waste it now. I’m going to the store to buy Timothy hay tomorrow. What is the perfect amount of pellets and veggies to feed a 4 month old rabbit by the way? I usually just grab a hand full of veggies(no spinach or any kale) usually just gre…[Read more]

Fingers crossed things finally click! It sounds like you have made so much progress!

If he is getting alfalfa pellets he doesn’t need alfalfa hay as well. It is actually sometimes hard to get bunnies to transition to timothy hay when they have only eaten alfalfa hay, so it’s really good that he likes his timothy. So as long as he’s getting plenty of alfalfa pellets I would just stick with timothy hay.

Hi Wick, I’ve seen one of them (Jack) eating cecotropes and he is much bigger than the other one (Josh) even they are from the same litter. Jack will only have like one cluster cecotropes when he first tried pellets and veggies. Once he is on hay only he is fine. Josh is the tricky one. He is really picky and pull out hay everywhere and left h…[Read more]

I imagine if it’s food-grade and safe to eat from that it would be okay to use as a water bowl, but I could be wrong.

If you keep him in an x-pen or something similar you could get a water bowl that attaches to it. You can find a bunch by searching “attachable water bowl” on Amazon. They’re cheaper too. 😁

Thank you so much for all the info!

One more question – I forgot to mention that his peeing habits have changed slightly (he peed on my bed – which he has never ever done before since he’s potty trained) and he also peed on his hay. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think it could be from the stress?

Yeah I tried the fruit trap with bananas and it only caught two of them. I read multiple sources that said fruit flies shouldn’t be attracted to the litter and they were suggesting that they could be fungus gnats instead but that wasn’t the case here. Everyone was raving about apple cider vinegar traps but these guys just weren’t having it!…[Read more]

Oh no he had places to hide and Ben was being relentless and hunting him down wherever he went. Just a tiny little bully! It would be funny if I wasn’t so annoyed because he’s chasing around a rabbit that’s 4 times bigger than him. He would not give up for a full day, just nonstop harassment. I’ve got them in the bedroom now and all 3 are being…[Read more]
