Oof, that’s always difficult with energetic young rabbits. Luckily everybunny has their hobby: tearing through a phone book, chewing wood, cardboard box destroyer, or digging. You may have two diggers.

I filled a box with shredded newspapers for our bun, and we hid his dry pellets in it. He could dig for hours trying to find more food. After…[Read more]

Awww, a blue-eyed white! <3 <3 <3 You know we’re all waiting for pics now, right?

Being a new bunny owner is so exciting! They have so many weird habits. They? Well, both bunny and owner 😉

There may come a moment when you’re ecstatic about finding poo in the litter box, and you may find yourself sending photos of it to your friends, showing…[Read more]

I would try removing the castle and see if that helps. Sometimes hides that are really big or only have 2 walls are better if one bun gets a bit territorial over things. It actually sounds like a frustrated mounting attempt (with the grooming first, then scrambling on her back), so that’s a little less concerning. Often a bun will groom the other…[Read more]

Ah yes the side borders I was hoping to avoid as my bun in the past would try to chew every type! I will see what options I can find though!

Do you think the cardboard is a better option than the play mats? I’m just not sure where I’d find a big enough piece unless I bought big cardboard storage boxes and cut them up which is a possibility! I jus…[Read more]

Sorry, I forgot to say they have 2 big litter boxes side by side. Like one is an old cage base and one is a big grocery type box. They both use both and Phil doesn’t seem to much mind. But maybe we introduced the castle too quickly. We also gave them some old toys like tunnels but vinegar’d down. Maybe that’s it?

Phil was a bully at the bond too…[Read more]

Well remembered 😊

We actually got them bonded professionally, out of the apartment due to Phil’s territorial nature. It’s hard to say what’s causing it. We have a castle for them that they play on and nap in. Sometimes Phil gets antsy and will bully Tony out of the sleeping box. Weirdly though, she will groom her first, and then kind of scrabble…[Read more]

For the side borders that run at the bottom of the walls, I would recommend them if you feel your rabbit may be tempted to pee outside the litter box. If you don’t have it and your rabbit does, depending on where the cage is and where the rabbit pees, you might have to move the cage in order to clean the grids, the wall, the floor etc.. At the…[Read more]

Yes both spayed! Phil 6 months ago, she’s just a bit of a weapon, to be honest.

Welcome and congrats on the new bun! Of course we would love to see pictures. 🙂

There’s some very good tips and detailed instructions to get you started here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/litterbox-training/

OH, I also JUST made the connection that you posted about your bunny chewing the cage bars at night? And posted a picture of his cage set up there?

If that is still the current cage, that litter box looks too small for him. He might be accidentally peeing over the side, or just not wanting to go in because it’s too small. (Those corner boxes are…[Read more]

That’s a tough situation! You might notice some fluctuations in hormonal behaviors with the season, as well as with age. It’s great that he isn’t fully spraying, because that can be so annoying to deal with (I had a completely adorable young un-neutered bunny spray me in the face!).  Even if you can’t neuter until later in his life, it should…[Read more]

@Wick sorry to bother i just had a question about cage! I was going to do the plastic grid playpen with those child interlocking play mats on the base and then a fleece small dog bed. Do you think this would suffice? I have heard mixed emotions on the child play mats for buns.

Apart from the odd shape of some poops, they look very healthy. She’s eating plenty of hay ^_^

Kale contains a lot of calcium, and we don’t feed it often because our rabbit is prone to bladder sludge.

This is a good site with calcium contents of vegetables:

Brushing is often difficult with young…[Read more]

Now I remember you were having a tough time with them!

Since they’ve only been bonded 3 weeks, it could be that you moved a bit too quickly into non-neutral territory. Were you seeing these incidents in the neutral territory as well? Are they due to un-met grooming requests, or does it seem like Tony is just in Phil’s space? Do they seem to…[Read more]

Yeah, that is a bit excessive. They’re both fixed right?

We rarely see the spats but occasionally we do. It’s normally just a hard nip around Tony’s bum and a big clump comes out. She doesn’t seem very distressed by it. They’re only bonded 3 weeks, maybe it’s still early days?

Hmmm, every other day is a lot, but could it be from mounting? Have you seen the interactions where the fur gets pulled?
