It depends on how big the box is, and whether your bun tends to pee in one corner or more dispersed. When I just had a solo bun, I would clean the box every other day. But if it looks like one spot is getting very saturated, you could scoop out the wet spots daily. Un-neutered bunny pee stinks more, so I would prob go for every day to keep odor…[Read more]

Yeah I agree, I don’t see a physical possibility for those poops to go through the plastic holes. And he also eats his cecals from the source. I just wonder how many days the bedding can have pee in it before changing it. Does everyone play it by ear or is it something to do once a week?

Alright thank you both so much! This makes me feel a bit better because Ive read so many different articles about this online that at this point I’m just stressing myself out. My plan is to steam clean the carpet in the room she was kept in and sanitize my x-pen and anything else she came in contact with 10% ammonia just to be cautious.

I’m sure the progress you make with her will really help her become more adoptable! Be careful though, that was my goal with Bonnie and we just fell in love with her. 🙂

Oh man, I feel that! I’ve feel like I’ve spent the last few months of my life just rearranging bunny pens! I have 2 pairs and moved twice since December. woof.

You’re welcome! It can get overwhelming and there is definitely some conflicting info out there.

Just to add my experience, I’ve used a variety of screens (knitting mesh more recently, as well as metal ones, both homemade and the kind BB sells) with no issues. Wire flooring or mesh flooring tends to be an issue when it’s all a bun has to stand on (such as in a wire floored hutch). I usually put a layer of hay over the top but not always. If…[Read more]

Oh thank you so much Bam and Dana. This really helps making things clearer about the whole thing. And that article is very helpful as well!

Agree with Dana, it’s best to pick them up as little as possible.

I guess another enclosure renovation will be happening this evening.  Wish me luck! 🙂

@ajuniceubunnies Are you perhaps thinking of the kind of hardware cloth that would come in an outside hutch? Those certainly are bad for rabbits and cause sore hocks. The holes in it are wide enough to allow poo to fall through. The plastic screen I recommended is different, the holes are only two millimeters wide, no poop can fall through.…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ll let her get settled in, and maybe adopted 🙂

Ooh yeah, that’s no time at all, especially considering her history. I’m sure she’ll come around.

I feel you! My newest bunny Cooper is a wild man, I had slightly forgotten what it was like to have a high-energy young bunny, it can be a LOT of energy!

I agree with LBJ10’s suggestions, phone books and newspapers are safe, as long as they aren’t the glossy sheets.

I also would for sure swap out the carpet flooring in her pen for something like…[Read more]

About a week

I agree with others about growing up, but I will also say that if you have to pick her up every day to return her to her pen, that will likely harm your relationship eventually.

It’s best to only pick up buns when needed for nail trims, deep grooming, etc. Since she’s growing up, she could be starting to get annoyed that when you pick her up, it…[Read more]
