Fruit flies and gnats love litter… cat litter, rabbit litter, it’s all the same. You could try making a trap by putting rotting fruit in a jar, covering the opening with plastic wrap and then poking fruit fly-sized holes in the wrap.

Omg I can relate… Bun Jovi is the mounter! But very good that it’s not causing any fights!!

Can you give him some hides or places to escape? With Myra she will jump up on something and Bun Jovi will lose track of her, so he just runs around honking for a bit and then gives up. Or he will chase her for a while, then they cuddle.

Oh that’s really good to know!

What type of litter do you use?

I just wanted to update in case this helps anyone else, but I read lavender repels fruit flies so after cleaning their litterboxes I mixed lavender (like actual dried lavender, not essential oil) with the litter and it’s helped a ton! No more flies buzzing around my children’s heads. I guess this experience kind of negates the notion that fru…[Read more]

Ugh well our marathon went well. So well, in fact, that Ben is now harassing his brother absolutely nonstop. He will. Not. Stop. Chasing. And. Humping. Him. Poor Wally can literally get 2 minutes of peace before Ben is on him again and the poor guy is a pacifist so he just keeps trying to find a place to hide. I don’t think I have a choice but to…[Read more]

Hey, guys. I replaced my rabbits Timothy hay with alfalfa hay. He’s started Timothy Hay since I got him so at 2 months. He enjoyed it but I read that alfalfa hay is the most important aswell as alfalfa pellets for when they’re growing.. Problem is he DOES not like the alfalfa hay. He eats the alfalfa pellets but not the hay. I’m not sure what…[Read more]

You’re welcome!

So, lunging, growling, and nipping are all OK to allow, and are how she is communicating with him that she does NOT want to be mounted. BUT if those things tend to escalate to a fight quickly, then you should intervene. The main things to stop immediately are circling, hard biting, boxing, and chasing for more than a couple…[Read more]

Thank you so much for getting back to me and for all the suggestions. I’ll make the changes in the room (and you’re right Luna will not be a fan). I have lots of NIC cube grids as I’ve been using that for Mateo’s enclosure and got extra to create an outdoor space for them as well (which I’ll save to use as the neutral space in the future). I’ll…[Read more]

I get my second shot mid-May too!

Haha Oh Dorian! What a rascal!

Cooper has taken to nibbling on the edges of the built in book shelf around our fire place, so I’m off to the hardware store tomorrow to get something to protect it. No amount of ivory soap seems to deter him!

Sorry the news wasn’t as good as you’d hoped. 🙁

Are the teeth that grew really fast the ones opposite the missing teeth?

The only thing I can think of is that often in biology, things grow in response to pressure, or lack of pressure. If a tooth is missing its opposite, that sends a signal that the tooth should grow faster to try to meet the…[Read more]

One thing to note is if he is getting less veggies and less pellets, he is likely eating more hay. Hay is super drying and so when hay consumption goes up, so does water intake. Does this seem like the case?

With sore hocks, I think a required treatment is actually ensuring the flooring and space is facilitating healing. If mild means the callous…[Read more]

Hi Guys, so we went for a check up today to see how things are going and I had mixed news.

Good news
Top right molar has come through and Is starting to grow. Bottom right molar is also growing so hopefully they will meet.
Top left molar has not come through yet, bottom left molar is growing very slowly so hopefully the top one will erupt soon…[Read more]

Happy May everyone! Plovers are great and can be hard to catch (as in see not actually catch them). I am not an avid birder, but do like watching them.

Congrats on vaccine completion @RabbitPam… I get my second shot mid month and can’t wait.

My day has been spent dealing with Dorian having learned how to move the fencing and sneak into areas…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing 🙂 I never knew about the salty coffee. I grew up in Germany and went to international school there, so lots of Turkish friends! So have a fondness for the food and not salted coffee. I also have a Turkish coffee shop near my house. One day I would love to go visit!

Yes, your other rabbit would have already been exposed. Symptoms usually show up within 9 days, with a normal quarantine period of 14 days recommended.

Please keep us updated on what your vet says.

sorry again for your loss. 🙁

Thanks for filling out the template!

Oh Luna, what a diva! A discerning lady for sure.

So, if you are up for it, I would recommend a change in their housing set-ups that will probably make things easier in the long run, although Luna I’m sure will express her displeasure.

If possible, I would split the bunny room in two, or build two pens…[Read more]
