That all sounds pretty normal to me! Stress + nap time can def do it.

Hazel thats so frustrating! I agree with looking into feral cat orgs in your area. Sometimes they will give you traps to put out, then spay/neuter and release. Or just let Otis go after them…..(jk…. sorta)?

And Ellie we had a similar problem on the campus I did my MS at! The groundskeeping staff were feeding all these strays, and then got…[Read more]

Not silly questions at all! And also don’t worry too much, because all of this stuff is really guidelines, and it is very possible to bond bunnies in a range of circumstances. Some things just seem to make things go a bit easier.

You can start pre-bonding once he is healed from his surgery. Hormones in males will drop a long during the recovery…[Read more]

Oof, what a situation 🙁 Agree with LBJ, this is something for animal control. It’s not only gross that they leave their mess everywhere, such a population and their health problems are dangerous for both humans and pets.

We used to have the same problem on our campus where house cats went stray. They were fed by an old man who had studied there…[Read more]

LOL a long day of watching me clean up after them. 😂

Hazel- Ouch! That sounds like a tough situation. 🙁 I’ve never really had this exact problem, but I have had neighbors feed stray cats near me. When this happened, I didn’t really have any cats cross my propriety. This might have been because at the time I had three very territorial cats to keep them out. lol. But, I have had issues with my own…[Read more]

Hmm, it sounds like something has affected their bond then, because aggressive fur pulling isn’t normal in a bonded pair.

How long have they been bonded, and what did you do to bond them? Health issues in one bun can also cause issues sometimes.

How long have you been feeding just 2 tablespoons of pellets?

Young bunnies should usually have more (some people say unlimited up to a year old, but usually that’s a bit excessive), so if he’s been on that ration for a while then he might not be getting enough calories.

Ooooh, Binkie is so cute!  She definitely looks like she’s enjoying herself! 😉

@kanin –  Too funny about the vacuum! Looks like the buns’ are resting after a long day’s work!  😛

Some pests like aphids can be dealt with with a few drops of dishwashing soap, a tablespoon or so of rubbing alcohol, plus a drop of vegetable oil in a liter of water. Use a spray bottle. For funghi, baking soda in water can have some effect. Slugs you pretty much have to remove manually.

I grow practically all greens and herbs in pallet collars,…[Read more]

Hazel – Do you have a feral cat organization in your area? There is one here and they have a neuter/spay and release program. It has really helped with the population issue. You could also try calling animal control and have them tell the neighbors not the feed the stray cats. Feeding stray cats causes a public health issue. For your own yard……[Read more]

I am looking for a general all-around bunny-safe pest control option(s) to use throughout my garden, the cilantro and dill are still growing my greenhouse, I haven’t transplanted them just yet.

I do not want to risk any type of chemical cross-contamination in my garden, and I have stuff online, but I can’t be 100% sure the techniques are bunny…[Read more]

Can you use cat litter? A lot of people have good luck with compressed paper (e.g. Yesterday’s News) or pine (e.g. Feline Pine) pellet litter. It’s sold as cat litter, so something similar may be easier to find. Just don’t use clay or clumping cat litter. It should be compressed paper or pine pellets.

Has RHDV been detected in Georgia? I thought that was pretty far away from the outbreak areas, which are mostly in the west.

What’s eating your cilantro and dill? Aphids? If it’s aphids, then you could buy some ladybugs or lacewings to eat them.

That’s such an awesome thing for the shelter to do. I would definitely take part in that if I wasn’t on the opposite side of the country! Hopefully more shelters follow suit to help get these sweet special needs babies into attentive homes. I know the medical bills can be daunting.

Yeah I of course can’t say for sure that my boy had megacolon.…[Read more]

Yaaay I love seeing everyone’s sweet and gorgeous buns!! I’ve recently learned that the vacuum cleaner makes an excellent snuggle buddy. Take notes y’all!

Oops, sorry about that – pic came out a bit on the large side. It’s my first time posting photos so I wasn’t sure how to resize it. However, thanks for the posting help!

Okay, thanks for letting me know!
