Yeah, the “push their head down to establish dominance” is still pretty widespread advice unfortunately. It makes no sense for several reasons. Rabbits don’t consider us part of their pecking order, so trying to be “top bun” is pointless from the get go. Aside from that, it is the dominant rabbit that puts its head down to demand grooming from…[Read more]

It doesnt seem concerning to me, it’s not one of the (many) classic signs of a rabbit health problem.

If it is possible, it could perhaps be good to let him explore the area he’s so interested in. It almost sounds like he believes Narnia is on the other side of that door 😃

My rabbit is 8 and he’s not interested in toys etc – but he does become…[Read more]

She will be very happy with that. 🙂  There’s no point ruining your relationship with her trying to make her like something she’s instinctively terrified of. It’s kind of a “the cure is worse than the disease” kind of situation in my opinion.

Loose dogs? Don’t mean to be a downer but you got lucky there. Birds of prey are another danger. You won’t know they’re there until they come in for the kill. I would stick to the x-pen. I really hope nothing happens to your bun and she enjoys herself, but I think you’re playing with fire.

Thank you guys. I’ll give him some more.

She’s beautiful! Yay! She reminds me of my Japanese harlequin Yohio.

Thanks so much! I literally thought about the roller that day and we used it yesterday and she was okay with it. I mean, she was eating meanwhile 😀 …. I will have a look to get the hair buster! I have had the furminator for rabbits but it is to harsh on her skin and it might scratch… Probably I can use it when she is older, we will see….…[Read more]

I agree you should keep up the CC. It is important that he has food in his tummy and that he gets the nutrients he needs for the wound to heal. Hopefully he will soon perk up enough to be interested in nibbling on his own.

Recovery from a bout of stasis can be slow, it can take more than a week, sometimes even longer.

Yes, a spayed female can develop a mammary tumor. Spaying reduces the risk significantly, but tumors has still been known to occur. It is believe genetics may place a role.

Not all tumors are malignant. Since the lump appeared quickly, that is concerning. Unless, of course, this lump really was missed by the vet. Perhaps the vet just wasn’t…[Read more]

Yep that was a major concern for me as well (the pesticide risk). I think a dog free and small quiet beach may be best for next time. In the afternoon on a not too sunny day. she didn’t eat any grass strangely.

I know I have heard many stories about small dogs being killed that way. I’m glad we’re home safe and she enjoyed it and can plan for a…[Read more]

Definitely go somewhere you won’t run into any dogs. Leashed or not, they could cause panic in your bunny. And yes, unleashed could be very VERY disastrous. A dog could do serious damage to your bunny without even trying. You hear about small dogs getting mauled by big dogs all the time. One more reason why taking a bunny outside is risky.

I don’t see why not.

Okay we ended up taking her today starting out with her in the pen and me sitting in with her

after about ten minutes of burrowing in my pants we opened up the pen and clipped on the leash just in case and she ended up hopping around binkying  and taking me for a walk!

she’s back home now she’s exhausted but eating and drinking and floo…[Read more]

Got it! I talked to a friend of mine and she said I could use her kitchen tomorrow for a completely different neutral space. Crossing my fingers this helps! I’ll also try stressing in the evening – I realized that I have been doing all stress bonding sessions earlier in the day (times I’m more likely to go out, and to prepare them for the day) so…[Read more]
