Sometimes when they are really nervous, they hold it in. This doesn’t sound unusual for a nervous bunny in a new home. Glad to hear the poop finally started. 🙂

I really appreciate all the encouragement and help! Especially for the cage rattling help, I would have never thought to clip a sheet!

We have a x-pen hooked around her crate right now. She gets 1-2 hours out when the kids go to bed and that’s it.

She’s pretty neat inside the crate/pen area keeping her pee in the box but she has started pooping…[Read more]

Yes!! I was just being a nervous new bunny owner! He is now doing great 🙂

Do we have poop?

I agree with Dana, a place that is just her own could help. It could have a cardboard hidey house with a roof and at least two door holes, because that resembles a natural rabbit burrow. Cardboard is a good material because its not hard like wood or metal. It doesnt have to be very big, in fact rabbits tend to appreciate rather narrow, tunnel-like…[Read more]

I really hope the new vet has some ideas! fingers crossed!

that’s great!

I think the new bun will likely settle with time and gentle care. Having her space all set up before she arrives and giving her time to adjust will be the most important things.

In terms of bonding, most important would be to get them both spayed, if they aren’t already. Then I would wait until the new bun seems very comfortable in your home and…[Read more]

It sounds like you have already tried a lot of things, but I would suggest maybe incorporating an area that is just hers (such as large dog crate, NIC cube condo, or pen with hides in it), that you could confine her to at night.

Even with her history, most bunnies appreciate having a “burrow” of sorts, as they would in the wild. This would be her…[Read more]

How old are they, and are they neutered/spayed?

It’s great that you already know about rabbits and what they need! I would suggest getting an ex pen along with the cubes so you can make the cage his home base but always give him at minimum the cage plus pen if you have enough space for that to be possible. If you have the time, energy and money please consider adopting a bonded pair or two…[Read more]

Antropomorphizing is when you assume that an animal behaves, reacts and feels like a human. In many respects rabbits are similar to us since they have roughly the same sets of neurons and signal substances as we have. They can feel pain just like us, because they have the physical ability to feel pain. They can feel fear because they have the…[Read more]

Hi, Tweeky has a himalayan salt lamp at night and I have used TV, Radio and Roxi (music system) that has yoga music on it to help on firework nights and have tried it as I thought that sounds during the night might ħave been the cause too. But doesn’t work. When I first got Tweeky (as in the very first day) Tweeky decided that she was going to…[Read more]
