Activity

I have never had good luck with the small space method (and I’ve bonded I think 6 pairs at this point). I have no idea (honestly) why it works for so many. When rabbits have no room to get away from each other, they have no choice but to fight if they feel threatened (fight or flight…).

I’ve always had much better luck with very large spaces.…[Read more]

Thanks for the information, I will definitely try  the mimicking rabbit head thing.

Ahh! Can’t believe it’s Feb already! Today was Louie and Lola’s first vet visit as part of our family, and I’m happy to say it went wonderfully and both are healthy! Due to covid, I couldn’t go in the clinic, but the vet said they were very well behaved and weren’t too nervous. A big yay for healthy bunnies!!

This is when I was using the bathtub, not the 1 square cube grid

Trios can be great, but adding a third rabbit in this situation would be very stressful for your current rabbits and likely you. Also, one of the pre-req’s for a bond is that all rabbits are healthy. Adding a third also always runs the risk that the current pair may split and then you end up with 3 solo bunnies. Definitely not something to deal…[Read more]

Aww I totally relate to how a bunny can provide emotional support!! Caring for my bunnies helps me as well.

I’m not an expert as others here are, but have read just about everything available online, etc. Based on what I have read a sick rabbit may not bond with another. I also read a widowed bun could be bonded fairly quickly after a loss. So…[Read more]

Congratulations!! She’s a cutie!

She’s adorable! Welcome home Lucy!

Hello! I wanted to pop in to introduce her officially! This is Lucy. She’s settling in wonderfully!

Ok thank you! Yes I have already checked his ears and they are completely clean.

He definitely eats enough, he’s been at the rescue for 3 months and has no signs of any sort of medical issue and has regular poops! He flops in front of me, and so I believe he’s comfortable with me, he just isn’t a big eater! I guess i’m just used to my rabbit who has never turned down any sort of food ever, maybe in time she can teach him.

So the gland is actually protruding? It’s not just the third eyelid that’s damaged? Yikes! That is certainly more concerning. But as Dana said, the surgery to put it back is actually pretty simply. I would definitely go that route first because it would be your best chance. Worst case scenario, he eventually ends up losing that eye. For what it’s…[Read more]

Hello again, may have to consider this – the vets are saying she has spurs and may need surgery soon but not like now. It started again, Thursday morning on and off and got bad again tonight. I thought I was at my wit’s end before…vets have no answers and neither do I. I don’t want to keep giving her medications that may cause her other issues.…[Read more]

Bun Jovi had this surgery before I got him, and my understanding from the vet was that it was pretty straightforward (you’ll often hear of this as “cherry eye”, which is relatively common). They basically use one suture to tack the gland back into place. He hasn’t had any complications afterward (it’s now been many years).
