I agree you don’t want to completely stop spending time with them, I was more suggesting to not feel like it had to be scheduled strictly, if that makes sense? And spending time in the room with them still counts as spending time with them and should help them get over some of their fear as well. I hope clicker training is fun for you and them!…[Read more]

Hello Datbun, we ask members not to reply to old threads to avoid confusion. This thread was started 12 years ago, so it’s very unlikely the original poster will see the response. I will lock this thread now to avoid confusion.

Okay, that’s good to hear. I was thinking exactly along the same lines — she’s doing great right now. I’lol keep an eye on her over the weekend and if anything recurs I will take her to the vet straight away to get a proper check up. Thank you so much!

I appreciate the kind words. It is putting pressure on my and I assume them as well, though all the advice I see is “more time on there level” so I am fearful that if I stop spending time with them, things will only get worse. My partner and I spend a good amount of time in the room with them, though its a larger room so I am not sure if they even…[Read more]

Shedding can def cause some GI issues, it’s pretty common for buns to have GI episodes during molting, even when it seems like they haven’t ingested much hair. She could have some hair in her gut that is working it’s way through. I think if she is improving it’s OK to monitor her and keep up the massages and simethicone, but if it happens again I…[Read more]

Hello! My 1 year old Holland Lop named Kiwi is a spayed female. So far, she has been in excellent health despite a bought of worms one year ago which cleared quickly after a vet visit. However, two nights ago I noticed her being extremely lethargic and unresponsive to her name when I came home from work. She refused food/treats. Long story…[Read more]

LOL 😆 I would take him to the vet to have them assess. Sometimes older buns will “suck” their testicles back up when nervous. At any rate sometimes it can take a while to get an appointment for neutering so might as well start the process.
He is very likely older than 1 month because they stay with their mom until 2 months. Hormonal b…[Read more]

Datbun replied to the topic can rabbits catch human illnesses? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 1 month ago
Rabbits can catch human illnesses such as strep throat, the flu, and COVID-19, but COVID-19 is technically not a “human illness” as it can affect any living thing, cases have even been found in fish, but still your lil bunny can catch a lot of human illnesses, the only way to prevent that is to be hygienic, keep up with you and your buns vaccines,…[Read more]

RnB started the topic Sore Hocks, getting better or worse? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 1 month ago
Does anyone know what healing looks like for sore hocks?
My senior bun has a bald patch on the bottom of his front paw like a toe pad that’s been red, swollen and inflammed. I’ve been back and forth to the vet the past 2 months with it looking better than worse again.
He just finished 1 week of sulfa antibiotics and 2 weeks ago started taking…[Read more]

They dont actually know mate, they said between 1 and 18 months. You know what a stuffed toy is not a bad idea i will most certainly try that, i cant get the fucker off my arm after 5 minutes of binkying around the room. I mean hes probably living his best life but yano.
Thanks for the tips mate.

I’m so sorry you lost Jenny. She sounds like a wonderful little rabbit 💗
It is extra horrible when things like this happens when we were trying to do our best to ensure the bun a long happy healthy life.
Binky free, Jenny 💔

So, I totally understand your frustration, but I would urge you to be patient, as annoying as that is. Some buns take a very long time to decompress from the shelter environment. Even very good rescues can be very stressful, and all buns have different personalities. My main advice is to stop trying so hard, as annoying as that is. Play “hard to…[Read more]

How old is he? His testicles may be closer than you think. 😉
In the meantime, you could try using a stand-in. A lot of people use a stuffed toy. Simply redirect him to that whenever he starts humping.

Our beautiful Jenny went in for her spay on Tuesday, unfortunately she had a reaction to the anaesthetic and passed away before the operation. We still can’t believe it. I had a weird feeling in the week leading up to it, not just normal nerves, more of a ‘we need to make the most of this week’ type feeling, it felt quite final but I just thought…[Read more]

So the other day, I went down to the pet shop for a small dog bone with my fiancé, we ended up rescuing a Rabbit. Don’t ask me how it happened but the little twat had a sparkle in his eye and we brought him home.
Ever since we have gotten a minor bond with him, he is constantly trying to hump me. I know.. Alot of people say get him neutered, b…[Read more]

I have read -every-thing I can find and am at a loss. I don’t know what to do. I adopted two rabbits that were already bonded about 5 months ago. One male, one female, both spayed/neutered. One is 2 and one is 3 years old. They get along well. For the first month or two things were as expected. I would lay on the floor 2-3 times a day for about 30…[Read more]
