You said you were pushing her head down, why is that?

Also, I would advise you to not keep petting her until she runs off, this will cause her to associate pets with running from you. Pet her once or twice, then stop. If she runs away, do it less next time. Over time you can slowly increase the petting time as she grows more tolerant of it.

Thank you!!! Really appreciate your input!
I so loved the idea about her in the end thinking it was her idea! YEAH 🙂

In the beginning, I laid my hand on the floor to see how she would react from a distance and she always came to sniff and explore. I know that some buns get offended and some take it as an invitation. (At least what I saw…[Read more]

Thank you sooooo much! Also for reading through all of this haha…..

Yeah, it may have sound as if I was picking her up all the time. But I really do avoid it as much as I can. I only once could have considered being chasing her to get her down the couch and she happily showed me her dissatisfaction with an “angry-pee” lake 🙂 She was so…[Read more]

She sounds like a normal baby bunny to me. These “mixed signals” may not actually be mixed signals. It may simply be a cause of misunderstanding or being taken out of context.

Do you have a shelter there that adopts out rabbits? You could ask them what vet they use.

It’s unusual for an ear to just randomly flop when a bunny is already 2-3 years old. My guess is that he is a lop mix and still has some control over his ears. Lop mixes often have what we call helicopter ears. Perhaps he just got tired of holding that ear up?

UPDATE : Vet said that piece of meat is his lacrimal gland,so surgery is needed,they’ll have to put it back in….

And if they fail in that i’ll have to lubricate his eye for the rest of his life to prevent it from drying

Currently he’s under Tobarex Meloxidyl Soligental Baytril and artificial teardrops

If things go bad i’ll have to face a…[Read more]

Hi and welcome and congrats on your baby bun! She sounds adorable 🥰

I think you are doing very well so far. You seem to have good observing skills and good intuition, which is key.

It is good to handle buns while they are young, but it should be done with moderation, or it could be a stressor for the bun. By that I mean, don’t pick her up every…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the helpful response @DanaNM! I really appreciate it. I plan to have her ex-pen set up pretty far away from Leo’s (the other side of our house) for the time being, but I am still expecting some territorial behavior or marking from both Leo and Lucy just by sensing or smelling a new bun in our space.
