Yeah, using an x-pen as the home base will totally help! I’m not sure if you mean he’s kept in one of the store bought cages with the plastic bottom and wire attachment for the top. But yeah those are definitely too small for bunnies and it probably makes him unhappy if that’s the case (pet stores really try to fool you though!).

I agree with DanaNM, depends on how long ago she was spayed. Her hormones could still be crazy a few weeks after. But if she’s all healed up, you could try giving her more free time outside of her own space. This can help them see that there’s more areas they can be in and don’t have to be so protective over their own area. I have the pen open…[Read more]

That’s great!! Welcome 🙂 It already seems like you’ll be a good owner because you’re doing your research and not impulse “buying” some people do! 😀

Thank you!! Do you give them a full water dish too or are they able to stay hydrated with the bottle?

Welcome!

Mine is the “LIXIT” brand. I got it ages ago, don’t remember what store! It seems to work fine, it will usually leak a bit when I first refill it up doesn’t drain itself or anything. I always check the ball bearing to make sure it isn’t stuck as well.

It won’t let me post a picture. Here is a link: https://imgur.com/U9DYIoM

After further examination, I see that on the same digit on the other paw, theres the same bump in the same exact location, just on the opposite paw. I don’t think it’s a major problem but I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks DanaNM! A red night light sounds cool, I’ll look into it.

Thank you DanaNM. What is your bottle called? Does it work well? I’ve tried drying his chin off before but it will always be damp. ):

Hi and very welcome to Binky Bunny!

Hamsters are extremely cute!

It’s very wise to do research before you get a pet, regardless of what pet you are planning on getting. I hope you’ll find the BB forums useful!

LOL I was going to recommend shuffling as well!  I’ve also found that when I get up in the night my night vision is pretty good so I can usually see them with whatever ambient light there is. I’ve also used a red night light that is nice on your eyes at night and doesn’t seem to bother the buns at all.

How long ago was she spayed? Rabbits can go through a post-spay “craze” around 6-8 weeks after spaying which can make them somewhat territorial/aggressive.

In general though, many rabbits don’t like you “messing with their stuff”, so it’s best to do cleaning and rearranging when they aren’t in the cage/pen.

I would just try getting a few bottles and putting them all up in multiple places to encourage drinking. I think they are all bound to leak a bit when you fist put it up, I have mine up over a bowl so it leaks into the bowl. Maybe you could also offer a bowl a few times during the day and just dry his chin off afterwards?

Reading so many bad reviews for every water bottle I click on. Either leaks too much or the water is too hard to get out… ):

Also- waiting for an email to get the written name of what they saw. It’s a long word I’ve never heard so I’ll post it here when I get it so you guys know lol.

So we got some results back and they said the Sulfatrim should clear it up and we asked to get 7 more days worth of it to add onto the 7 days we got to try to make sure it’s totally gone. I asked about the water bottle and they said it’s worth a try so we can eliminate the water bowls being an issue (his chin getting wet). Any suggestions on wat…[Read more]
