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?

Ah great, you made me feel better.

She has short hair. But the only issue is she HATES getting brushed so it’s really impossible haha I only did it with lint roll.

Can I ask one more thing. Can she eat kale and arugula “everyday”? I mean like romaine lettuce. I am not sure what I can give her all the time.

“Double” poops indicate a slight gut slowdown. Poop size is good though,  and it looks like she eats her hay like a good bun girl 🙂.

If you break open the doubles, there may be hair inside. If that is the case, you should brush her. If she’s normal-haired (i e not a lionhead or angora), you can lint roll her with a sticky paper lint roller after…[Read more]

It doesnt look like mold. Mold doesnt have to be very visible though. It doesnt have to smell, but it often does. Could it be clumps of plant material that isnt grass, or peat/dried soil? It is a bit difficult to see.

Since the buns like the hay, I think Id just pick out the clumps. I’ve had hay that contained bits of moss and peat, but was…[Read more]

Thank you Dana, that’s really helpful. Monkey has calmed down a little over the last week – only peeing once a day at most and doing fewer poops around the bedroom door (but still quite a few!). She’s also easier to calm down and distract when she does start getting territorial, so hopefully this is a good sign! The only place she doesn’t poop is…[Read more]

Thank you for the update!

It is horrible to lose a bun. 💔

I’m so glad you kept Coco and that you have such a great relationship. As Ellie says, it’s proof that you are a great bun owner.
