I just wanted to add that you can “squeal” if the bunny is biting you. Even if she isn’t actually biting through your clothes, you can still communicate with her by letting out a high pitched squeal. This tells her that she is hurting you (even if she’s not) and will prompt her to adjust her bite.

I see. I put a few pieces today on the floor, without actually installing them, and let him try it out. It seemed like he didn’t have many issues with the traction, so will probably go ahead with the installation tomorrow. Thanks for your advice!

Wick & Fable replied to the topic New foster rabbit bit my little cousin in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
I do wonder whether this is aggression and/or a rabbit who enjoys chewing and nipping clothes/fabric. One of my rabbits loves digging and chewing into people’s clothes, and she is in no way aggressive. What can be nice about chewing clothes that a human is currently wearing is that there is inherent resistance and it’s sort of stuck in place, and…[Read more]

rustiscool started the topic New foster rabbit bit my little cousin in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
Three days ago, I got a new foster rabbit. She is a fixed female who has no history of aggression. On the second day I let her out to free roam around the room, and she seemed to have a fun time. However, she did run up and bite onto my jeans once. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.
Today, I was babysitting my two year old cousin. I let…[Read more]

Thank you so much Bam for all the information! I’ll start brushing her multiple times a week! Don’t want to repeat the same mistake to the poor girl 😥
This is how it looks dry ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/xjntiwcf334zajr/1.png?dl=0 )
the fur is tangled near the skin not above. I tried carefully trimming it while she’s asleep and thankfully…[Read more]

He ate some parsley. 🙂 We’ll have to keep giving him a little bit of that everyday now. And maybe we could put some in his hay and on some romaine lettuce eventually.

Thanks guys. Pinkiemarie good to know yours started eating more, maybe he will start soon too. I did two feedings today already, I got maybe 30 mL the first time and around 60mL the second time. I plan on doing one more today. He seems to pee in the towel every time we syringe feed him. He also makes a couple little poops in the towel while we…[Read more]

NalaBunny replied to the topic Rabbit that doesn't like people in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 6 months ago
She is spayed, she just doesn’t act like it. Thank you for the helpful tip I will definitely have to try and take her to a different place to bond with her. I’ve never heard of that but it definitely makes sense. As of right now I have two non bonded bunnies in my room and so she’s not always very comfortable due to the other bunny. I’m glad th…[Read more]

Pat22eguin replied to the topic My bunny circles me what does this mean? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
He wants to make love lol. Get him fixed as soon as possible because he’s going to become frustrated and most likely destructive. In the meantime, get him a plush toy slightly smaller than him that he can mount and release some of his built up energy on.

Pat22eguin replied to the topic Chewing Carpet CONSTANTLY in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
As an update, I’ve fixed those cat scratching cardboard pieces to old carpet and put them where he usually digs and tada! He chews and pulls on that instead of the carpet now!

We’ve been at it for about 3 weeks now. I’m aware it could take quite a long time depending on how stubborn they might be. We have a carrier big enough to fit all three. My girlfriend is just afraid of them fighting if they are too close in a cramped space. I recommended the car ride initially, however we haven’t tried it yet. They do extremely…[Read more]

The vinyl I have is slightly textured and the bunnies don’t seem to have trouble on it at all. I know some buns are very picky about their flooring, but they do get used to it. It being slippery for now isn’t the worst thing, as it will encourage the bun to spend more time in his box. Then once his training is better you can add some mats or…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic New bunny not eating much in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 6 months ago
I agree with pinkiemarie, I think just keep up what you’re doing and try not to send him back to the vet unless things get worse. Small poops are good! I also think some very tempting greens (like cilantro) might be a good thing to try.

DanaNM replied to the topic Fleas and ear Mites! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 6 months ago
I would talk to your vet about getting Revolution. It’s a prescription flea med that treats mites as well. A couple doses should clear everything up. Resist the urge to pull off the flakey skin and scabs, as it can be really raw underneath and cause them to bleed.
