Thank you DanaNM. Yeah, maybe it was the vet visit. :/ It seems like they’re doing better now, so I probably won’t separate them tonight.
I assume Pinky had a surgery, whether it was a spay or neuter. The shelter told me they took them both to get neutered and they were recovering well. I paid for the adoption fee for two neutered rab…[Read more]

I hate to say it because I know you have been through so much with them, but I would separate. Scabs and fur clumps are no good. 🙁

Give how much you’ve worked with them, and since they have now had 2 falling outs, it might be that they just aren’t a good combo for a trio.

Ok don’t panic!

Males can suck their testicles up inside them when they are stressed out. It is also not uncommon for even experienced people to mis-sex rabbits. There can also be intersex rabbits that are VERY hard to tell until you check for internal anatomy (we had a bun at the rescue that was very hard to tell externally, and internally she…[Read more]

Thanks Bam!

I had wondered if it was something to do with Spring, I thought I’d heard that somewhere.

Do you know when it will subside? My other female seems unaffected, although she is only 5/6 months.

I hope this spring fever thing won’t affect the bond much? (it’s not for 6 weeks)

Your male bun’s arranging sounds funny to watch, bless him…[Read more]

This could be a bit of “March hare syndrome”- a reaction to the changes in the length of day. The days are longer already and here the pigeons have started cooing.

Light impacts many different hormones in rabbits, not just sex hormones (neutered rabbits still have some production of sex hormones). It can spark a big moult and a rise in the bun’s…[Read more]

White chocolate doesnt contain any theobromine, the component in chocolate that is toxic to rabbits (and dogs). So if the chocolate was white, it won’t harm her like dark or milk chocolate could.

She is likely to get a bit of stomach upset from eating a lot of sugar. Keep an eye, if you have baby gas drops (simethicone) you can give that if you…[Read more]

I’m also wondering if I’m going to need to rebond them or if this will pass and Pinky is just a girl in heat?? Muffin is still grooming Pinky and they’re eating together. They were cuddling and grooming early this morning before the chasing.

Yes, she has toys and a dig box and tunnels and willow sticks. She has those things in her pen and she’s allowed out to free roam as much as she wants. Her blanket is tied to her pen and drapes down like a tent. We have to move the pen to let her out so maybe because it keeps moving the blanket every time, that may be annoying her? Also, I think…[Read more]

It doesn’t sound too abnormal for a female. She could be bored and it’s that’s the case it will help when she gets a friend. Does she have a kid of toys and time out to run around?

I have the best luck when I sit and ignore mine. They get curious about why I’m not bugging them and start crawling on my legs and stuff. I think ignoring them makes them feel safe. Going back to predators, a predator would not ignore them so it helps them feel trusting.

I only pick them up if I absolutely have to. To me picking them up is like…[Read more]

All rabbits hate being picked up. I wouldn’t try to force him to accept it, as Bam said, it’s very stressful for them and there are better ways to deal with handling them if the situation demands it. So there’s really no need to put them through that. Most likely you would just end up eroding his trust in you.

Ivermectin can also be given orally, if the spot on treatment doesn’t quite cut it your vet could try that. Worked like a charm for my bun. 🙂

Thank you! Well she should molt in spring so I don’t know about that. And maybe she eats a little less hay than before.

Okay so i hope everything is alright as long as she is running happily haha

It does sound like she is alright. Is she about to go into a molt? Is she eating a good amount of hay? A drop in hay consumption can indicate a dental problem.

Any change in diet, even a small one, can make changes in the shape, color, consistency and amount of poop. As long as the majority of the poops are a good size, it’s just something to…[Read more]
