Thanks for sharing! I’m glad to hear everything went well. Little know fact – Boys tend to bounce back really quick after neutering. Most act as though nothing happened.

Aww that’s great! Thank you for posting the positive story, it is so true that the negatives dominate the internet!

It is totally fine to feed extra critical care any time you are in doubt, and with only eating 1/3 of normal, I would give some. He might eat it on his own off a spoon, some bunnies love it!

Oh I see. Was her hay consumption good before all the abscess and dental issues happened? I wonder if it’s mainly the lack of hay that is making her poop still a bit off.

You might check in with your vet if you’ve noticed her hay consumption get worse again since the treatments, because I would expect it to continue to improve.

Oh yeah, sorry I missed the question about the tub vs. sink. I think the sink would be too small, but tubs can be great. Or the bathroom floor if you want to give a bit more space.

Is the x-pen just a single wall? If so, you should add a second layer to make a buffer of about 4-6 inches to make sure they can’t nip each other. You could also add some smaller mesh to do the same thing.

Things can get a bit feisty sometimes before they get better, so don’t worry too much about how they behave back in their home turf.

How big…[Read more]

Yep, sounds like he’s getting ready to mount you!

Sounds good and like things are moving right through 🙂

Bunnies do love eating things they aren’t supposed to!

I agree it can be fascinating, but yes, be weary. Crows can be cunning and they are of course, animals. At the end of the day, a rabbit and crow companionship is not natural, so what may seem like friendship (from one or both of their perspectives) can change. Dorian may really like them while the crows are just observing the best approach to…[Read more]

Hay consumption often aligns with water consumption, as hay is very drying (I imagine it’s like eating saltine crackers for humans!), so typically a rabbit will eat a lot of hay, and then drink a lot of water afterwards.

If the rabbit is more inclined to eat pellets, it’s not surprising she’ll overlook hay. Why waste time and energy eating hay…[Read more]

I’m wondering if a stuffy with her scent may help him get that humpiness out of his system.

I think gently deterring it from him when it’s excessive is important so he gets some sort of feedback on that behavior. She’s running away, but it sounds like he’s not hearing the message.

yeah, they are pretty smart! He doesn’t go out unsupervised so do keep an eye out.

I should add it’s only a certain couple of crows who pretty much grew up on the deck. Dorian also only seems to like those crows, he will dash inside if the others come by and are noisy, but run out for these two. It is possible they associate him with food in the…[Read more]
