Some people put a tiny bit of fruit juice in the water to make it more appealing. Sometimes people make “hay tea”, let it cool down, and serve that as well. Here is a post about making hay tea: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/hay-tea-for-anybunny-who-doesnt-drink-enough-especially-for-ill-or-recovering-rabbits/

One of the most reliable times…[Read more]

How long has this been going on for? Sometimes, if a rabbit is going through a shed, there’s an increase in ear itching because a piece of fur or something gets caught in there and they are trying to get it out (which you can let them sort that out themselves). If the ear looks good, that is good.

Dry skin can occur naturally and also naturally…[Read more]

Veggies are inherently hard to measure because you can’t really cram them into a cup, haha. Generally speaking, 1-2cups a day, which I just eyeball filling a small plate. What veggies, the appropriate ratio between them, and how big a plate will depend on your rabbit’s age, diet history, and weight. You can find general information about all…[Read more]

When my bun not very long ago had something similar, mucusy poop and brownish color water from his anus, he got 5 days of metronidazole (Flagyl). This took care of the problem.

It could be something to discuss with your vet, because its absolutely not good if a bun loses fluids via the feces. Metronidazole is an antibiotic, and you need a vet to…[Read more]

Thanks for your input! – I just finished putting both of them back to bed, because tonight has just been too crazy! I can’t do these marathons. I also figured a couple hours into the small space that it just wasn’t working – I was intervening for all subsequent hump-fights, but it was just way worse than the tub, and Alfredo was not happy. I even…[Read more]

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]
