Does this happen everywhere, or mostly in his area? What is his set-up like? Does he have his own pen that is his safe-zone, or is he free-roam?

The sweeping up motions and low motions tend to be somewhat threatening to rabbits. They can’t see very well right in front of them or low. I would try to minimize cleaning and sweeping areas while he is…[Read more]

Rabbits tend to grieve in their own ways, and they often know something is up before we do. Sometimes a bonded mate will even abandon the other bunny in the final hours (which is heartbreaking to watch, but you can imagine why this would happen in wild bunnies). It’s good that he’s eating and drinking and zooming a bit.

Oh that’s interesting!

I actually started using a plastic screen too because they were digging a lot and making a huge mess. I’ve been wondering about whether it was staying too wet, as sometimes if there is hay on top of the screen it gets pretty wet. But they just eat so much more hay when it’s in the box vs. only in the rack. Will have to keep…[Read more]

I just feel so sorry for him, we can’t believe she went at such a young age 😢. I guess that’s all we can hope for that he carries on eating and drinking and hopefully we can take some of the pain away.

I’m sorry that you lost Candy.

We cant know if rabbits grieve, they probably do in some form. They are a social species and prefer not to be alone. They do seem to sense when another rabbit is sick, which can sometimes result in aggression towards the sick rabbit.

If he is eating and drinking and pooping, he will likely be alright. It’s very…[Read more]

We will be very happy for updates! Many vet visit (((((vibes)))))!

Thank you all! I decided against taking his urine in and he’s got a full appointment this morning instead. Will update!

Usually it’s moving in his eyesight but about a foot or two away from him. For example, I was waving around a cat toy near the kitten, about a foot away from him and he grunted and lunged. Another example, I was sweeping up hay bits about two feet away from him, to his side and he ran at it and yanked it right out of my hand.

Hmm… you mention objects, but then talk about him accidentally biting your finger. I agree with Hazel in asking if the objects are moving when he attacks.

LeilaBinkySunshine,

First of all, you are NOT alone!  I also did the same thing 2 weeks into having my first foster bun (a year ago), and when I started reading into it, I freaked out and sobbed to my family so much they said maybe I wasn’t ready to have a rabbit.  Lol.  Well nothing happened.

Two things: First, I also read the article that LB…[Read more]
