Good for you!  I still have three bunnies, as well.  I actually got them because I knew Lola was up there in age and didn’t want Bugs, her boyfriend, to be too lonely when she was physically gone.

As DanaNM said, ignoring is a good sign! To get into more details, ignoring is the absence of one or the other rabbit “freaking out” when the other one moves, gets close, etc.. So ignoring is definitely a good sign, relative to a rabbit who might constantly run or lunge when the other rabbit is maneuvering around.

When I brought a new bun home, she was super scared and skittish. She was the same as yours, she was eating some, peeing, drinking and even laying in relaxed positions but no pooping. I wasn’t sure how long since I had just picked her up around 11am, but by 8am the next day still nothing so I called the vet. She still was acting fine though which…[Read more]

You might have already seen this, but there is a ton of good info here on care, costs, FAQ, etc. All good things to consider when deciding if a rabbit is the right pet for you:

Rabbit Information

Gotcha, yeah spaces that big are challenging! I had to use my friend’s garage.

Which reminds me of another tip… sometimes trying a completely new space can work wonders. If you are still not seeing any progress in a couple more weeks after trying car rides, you might start asking some friends if you can do some bonding in their kitchen or…[Read more]

Ignoring is fine 🙂

Ignoring means they aren’t too bothered with the other rabbit, which is a good thing. You might notice a bit more interest once you start swapping sides, but if not that’s even better.

You can start feeding them their salads and pellets near each other on opposite sides of the fence, if you haven’t already. That helps to…[Read more]

I agree that if he’s eating, then the poops should follow!

He might think they are bunny friends. 🙂 My bunnies will often groom the floor after I pet them as well. He might like to have a “stuffy”, a stuffed animal that resembles a bunny (or some other similar sized stuffy) that can be his friend. Since he doesn’t chew the pillows he would prob be fine with a stuffy.

Hi @Rosie_M did you end up finding a solution? My bunny currently has a similar condition and is being treated with Penicillin but it doesn’t seem to be working. I read this forum from a while back and am going to see if getting organic food improves anything – https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/lip-scabs/

Let me know if you’ve had any luck

Thanks!

Thank you for your support. We do not have any more pets however do plan to adopt more bunnies in the future.

I completely understand you feeling that it is your fault, but do know that it is not.  You did what you could to give your bunny a good life.  Do you have any other pets?  Any more bunnies?  I, too, felt guilty when my bunny Lola passed away, last month.  As a pet parent, you are always left wondering what did we do wrong?  What if we would have…[Read more]

DanaNM oh good!! Of course you’re prepared, you’re super caring of your animals! I would be worried about him too, I think if you keep a calm environment he should be alright (as usual). I’ve heard you should block off behind the toilet so they don’t get stuck there. You may already know this. It might depend on how small the space is back there.…[Read more]
