NEW UPDATE: I have started putting them in pens next to each other. I have also found somewhere neutral to bond them.

QUESTION: There will be some construction work in the basement, we will be on the second floor, would the construction be too scary for the rabbits?

That’s good to hear. 🙂 Hopefully he starts eating more hay over time as he continues to settle in.

Yeah, I agree with Bam. 3 is definitely not too old to neuter, but the main reasons for neutering males are behavioral, or for bonding purposes.

If you are seeing lots of hormonal behaviors from him (marking, honking, circling, nipping), then those would calm down with neutering, but you shouldn’t see any other huge behavioral changes.

Hi there, welcome! And thank you for rescuing this bunny! He looks very clean and happy. 🙂

If you check out the “Rabbit Info” tab at the top of the page, there is tons of info on housing, diet, litter training, bunny proofing, etc. Petsmart employees often aren’t very informed on good rabbit care (but they will try to sell you a lot of things!).…[Read more]

Helicopter ears, so I’m going with Airwolf…man, does that make me old?😃

It’s normally not a problem to desex an older male bun. Shelters and rescues do this all the time.

In some places, the problem might be to find a vet who has the proper equipment and anaestethic agent to anesthesise rabbits safely. That said, it’s a very simple and quick procedure and the rabbit is only under for some minutes.

Thanks.  Yes, eating more, though not as much as I would have expected.

Adjusting well.  Got his play yard set up, but that is just for when we are here.

He’s a pretty mellow boy, doesn’t mind being handled at all.  Just got the recommended comb, gonna try that out in a bit.

I agree. It could be harmless or it could be something more serious. At this stage, I would just clean it with saline and then watch it to see if it comes back.

Thank you! Yes, she’s going to the vet in the morning and I want her to get X rays done to be sure what is causing her hurting.

I will note that rabbits can instinctively hide they’re in pain, so while it’s great she has energy, just be aware that it could still be something worth formally assessing. For my Wick, he has acted literally 100% the same from before the break to now during recovery. He still tries to dig even though he literally cleanly broke a finger.

A vet assessment is the best bet to figure out if it was a temporary “Ow, I need a minute” or if there is a sprain that needs to be monitored… or if there is a fracture/break. At the vet appointment, your vet should be able to narrow down the possibilities and you may need to do an X-ray if it is not clear.

I will share a recent experience…[Read more]

Thank you everyone! She’s eating and drinking fine once I took it to her. It’s her leg, she’s holding it close to her. She did jump back on the bed though and now I’m just keeping her there so she can rest with me. Could she have hurt it but not broken it? Her appointment is at 10:30 tomorrow.

You can try some Simethicone in case it’s gas. I hope she feels better soon! Is she pressing her belly to the floor at all?
