Update: The last few sessions have been the same thing over and over. He wants to mount her, but she doesn’t so she runs away. They do this over and over. There are a few times that she let him mount her, but there has been no grooming. What should I do? Also, they were fighting a little through their xpen this morning. When they are together,…[Read more]

This type of behavior does not happen if a rabbit is not feeling secure and comfortable. In terms of “happiness”, I am mixed about it for binkies in general. For example, one of my rabbits does this very often on his “medication/grooming mat”, which is what I put him on for grooming. He definitely doesn’t like it, but enacts these binkies on it…[Read more]

Hi thanks so much for your response, I totally understand taking advice from the vet, I just wanted another bunny owners opinion :). Alto is doing well, he seems like his normal self, he’s eating, his poop is normal. Hopefully I dodged a bullet, (knock on wood).

Pinky is also on Sulfatrim, 1mL every 12 hours because he is a bit wheezy and his nose has been whistling. He has also been possibly snorting in his sleep? And snoring. So the vet said it might be a respiratory issue.

I agree with what’s been said above. 🙂

Bathtubs or couches both work. I did my neutral bonding sessions on a couch, but with a pee pad under them. 😉

Awwww!! He definitely looks like a happy bun to me! 😉 So cute!!

She’s a Holland lop bunny. For some reason, she doesn’t want to eat hay. She doesn’t drink too much water as well.

He’s not shedding much but, does need to be groomed since I just got him he doesn’t like being groomed and nor does he like being picked up. Any tips on grooming him and getting him used to getting picked up as he absolutely hates it 🙁

At 4 months old he’s probably hitting puberty. The circling and honking means he’s courting you. 😆

Thank you guys. Pinky is doing okay, he still eats some hay, lettuce, and pellets. I think he is more picky with hay when Muffin isn’t here. He was also not as excited eating critical care today and took longer than normal to finish it. He’s been flopping a lot. He was at the vet last night and they said his nail is okay but he’s still gassy…[Read more]

Bathtubs seem to work well for some people. I wouldn’t use a sink though, if they jump out they would likely get hurt.

What kind of rabbit is she? I’m asking to determine if she’s still growing or not. Growing bunnies should get “unlimited” pellets as long as they still eat enough hay. At 5 months old, depending on the breed she is approaching the age where she can switch to an adult feeding schedule. At around 3 lbs she would be fine with just 1/8 cup of pellets…[Read more]

Sounds like he hit his face when he fell, hence the sneezing/pawing at his face. Try to have a look at his nose and mouth, look for injuries or blood. And keep an eye on his food intake for a while, if he injured himself he might have trouble eating. Is he breathing normally?

Yes I put the hay in the litter box and around her but she doesn’t seem interested she’s not potty trained either so she doesn’t even jump in the litter box to eat hay. I don’t always feed 1/2 cup of pellets it’s normally 1/4 she always seems interested in eating pellets more than the hay. Thanks for your help! She’s around 3-4 pounds I’m not sure though

I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable with that. Crows will attack/eat a rabbit. Dorian isn’t a small baby so they might be more cautious and trying to “make nice” to get closer and wait for an opportunity. Dropping food for him reminds me of seagulls dropping food in the water to lure fish closer to them. They are pretty cunning.

Hi!

I think that you can put a litter box in when he arrives, that way he’ll probably at least get some in it (less work for you! 😉 ), and it will give you a good idea of where his preferred spot is. 🙂

I haven’t heard of that technique before ~ it sounds interesting! 🙂 I don’t think that it will make much of a difference if the newspaper…[Read more]
