Haley started the topic Help with foster rabbit in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
Hi all,
I’ve been a rabbit owner for around 5 years now. I have fostered and cared for rabbits with a variety of behavior histories and dental issues. I just recently took on my second malocclusion/bone spur bunny that is getting her teeth trimmed and all other needed vet care next week. However, this poor little thing clearly was not given an…[Read more]

Do you think she would dig at a rug or a hay mat? You could try something like that and watch to see if she still digs. And yeah I would probably block off under the bed if she continues digging.

You’ll have to watch and see if she wants to chew the tape lol. I’ve caught mine with pieces of tape in their mouth so I took it all away. There’s wall corner guards you can get to cover the edges things she might chew.
Is she spayed? I think some people use vinyl flooring but someone else could offer better advice on that since I’ve never u…[Read more]

pinkiemarie replied to the topic Romaine lettuce in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago
Romaine gets recalled several times a year due to ecoli, typically during the colder months. There are only about 2 farms in the US that grow it this to it of year in Yuma, AZ and another one that I can’t remember where it is. There seem to be serious and reoccurring issues near these farms with contamination from nearby animal farms. I never saw…[Read more]

You’re doing such a good job with him, I’m sorry the whole thing is so stressful. 🙁 Maybe they can find a trainer that works without an e-collar, but like you said, it seems to be the go-to training method. I don’t use the e-collar the “normal” way, Otis is too soft for that. But he knows the beep means “come” and the vibrate means “stop what…[Read more]

Welcome, BinkyBunny is a great place to learn about rabbit ownership. 🙂
I would love to see pictures of your hamsters! 😀

Bam replied to the topic Sore Hock Help! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago
Some type of carpets can be abrasive. I had that problem last fall with my bun. I covered the abrasive carpet in the places my bun frequently uses as “roads”. I used vet bed mats, but puzzle foam mats would work too or perhaps just fleece blankets.
I wrapped my bun’s hocks, but that may not work if the bun is very set on grooming its hocks. It…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Aggression Towards Objects in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago
My suggestion is more things for her to chew, such as willow baskets, cardboard scratchers that they sell for cats, and maybe fleece blanket throws she can dig at. This can definitely be post spay craze, and at the same time, she could just be settling into natural rabbit behaviors from boredom and a need for engagement. The first month of…[Read more]

I know it was recalled back in November and I’ve been avoiding it like the plague ever since. My bun loves it though. Has anyone heard if its safe to eat again?

DanaNM replied to the topic Aggression Towards Objects in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago
The timing lines up with post-spay hormonal fluctuations and growing up. Carpet digging can happen with hormonal changes, fortunately for us spite is a human emotion, not a rabbit one.
I’ve had success using heavy ceramic tiles to block problem spots (since they tend to get obsessed over specific areas), and cardboard cat scratchers as an…[Read more]

BrandyBunny replied to the topic Aggression Towards Objects in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago
She’s been spayed for about two months now and we used to have her free roam but she became very destructive of the apartment (tearing up the carpet…) almost like she was doing it out of spite even though she knew it was naughty lol. We always kept her in her cage over night and let her out during the day until we got the larger pen (which…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Muffin’s chin rash is back in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago
Well…. I have a water dish too. Recently when I was trying to bond the quad I just had a bottle and I felt like BJ wasn’t drinking much (I put the bowl down and he immediately drank a ton). But that could be the combo of the stressful situation and no time to adjust to it. The other three buns did drink from the bottle though, so it could just…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Sore Hock Help! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago
My 4yo Netherland Dwarf actually recently showed early stages of sore hocks — no opened blisters, but fur loss and reddening. From what I was told, I do not expect loss fur on the hock to grow back, but the focus is more on making sure the hocks don’t get worse. My understanding is once that fur is gone, it is likely gone for good or recurring…[Read more]
