Agree that is so frustrating that you were mis-lead! It unfortunately happens too often.

I think since hormones are at play already, it is best to not do any playdates until everyone is neutered and hormones settled. Any fighting and aggression can make bonding harder later.

But, if you have them live side by side as neighbors, they won’t forget…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan, as long as it’s not too close to her pen. How long have you had her?

I’m still having a very hard time with this loss. Thanks for your very kind words.

Valentine’s day came and I have just been in an ocean of tears. We had lost Heartly’s (my little light) beloved big brother (Hatter) on that day last year. The time between losing them was only eleven months. I’m still dealing with my grief from that too.

The…[Read more]

Let us know how it goes!

I also find it helps to set short time goals for the first few sessions, so I don’t push things too far. So you can aim for 5 minutes for a few sessions, just to get a sense as to how they are in the new space. I also like to pet a lot in the beginning, so when they come nose to nose, you can pet both to mimic grooming.…[Read more]

@Susanne I’m sorry to hear about your kitty. 😥  Both of ours came within an inch of death with intussusceptions. They only survived because our vet is incredibly skilled and went above and beyond to save them. Some vets are amazing, others not so much.

Thank You! I’ve been trying to just, quietly,  sit outside of her play pen so that she gets used to my presence.

Thank you! This sounds like a much better plan 🙂

Thanks everyone!

Now we just need our moving truck to arrive… it keeps getting delayed so I feel like we are camping in our house!

Aww congrats! Yes it sounds like you had an easy time of it, glad to hear it!

Of course we would love some pictures of the snuggly buns!

Awwww Penelope, she’s so cute and angry!

My recent foster-fail Bonnie was the same way. She was very cage aggressive after being in the shelter for 3 years, poor thing.

What I did with her was I made sure she had her own space (a pen) that I didn’t mess with. For the first week or so, I only feed her, but didn’t try to pet her or anything. I…[Read more]

Welcome to BinkyBunny!! 😀 She’s so cuuuuuuute!! <3

I’m sorry for what happened to your other bun. I agree it could be ring worm. Can you post a pic?

The litter box setup might be OK, but how wet does it get? It might need to be changed more frequently (try to clean it before she starts avoiding it).

I would focus on keeping her environment very clean, soft, and dry. So you can put down fleece…[Read more]

The main things to look out for are oxalate content and (sometimes) calcium. Most bunnies can handle lots of calcium, but some need a lower calcium diet, as Bam said, so really you mostly want to look out for oxalate.

Any veggie that is both low in calcium AND low in oxalate could be fed as much as you want. Some examples of this off the top of…[Read more]

It is a bit difficult, because buns have individual differences. I had abun who was not allowed kale, because he had high blood calcium levels, and kale is a high calcium veg. I wouldn’t have known about his high blood calcium unless he had had bloodwork done. Other buns do just fine on kale, so it’s not really possible to say if kale is all bad…[Read more]

I actually ended up giving him a day off and by the end of the day he was being more normal and more normal the next morning as well so we’ve done a couple more dates. No breakthrough yet. I tried not going in the car today and Clover is being more bitey. Sigh.

I’m so glad you got a second opinion! It’s hard when you love your animal and want the best for them but aren’t getting the answers you need. Now you know and you can make decisions with better information.

Thank you for the information and although it makes me sad, I would have gone on thinking they are actually bonded and one may have ended up hurt.  So thankful I came across this forum for all things bunny!     If I keep them apart when no one is around and still have “playdates” for the next two month, until they are old enough to be fixed, wil…[Read more]
