DanaNM replied to the topic How can I bond better with my rabbit? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago

When you say you take him out to run, do you mean you have to pick him up each time? If so, that could be why he’s skittish. Rabbits as a rule don’t like being picked up, so being picked up daily can make them nervous and learn to fear you every time you reach for him.

So if that’s the case, the first thing to do would be to modify his set-up so…[Read more]

SweetCaroline started the topic How can I bond better with my rabbit? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago

Hello everyone! My rabbit’s name is Sooty, he’s a black rabbit (not sure what breed, possibly Havana) and 3 years old iirc. I love him very much, but even though I’ve had him for about 2 years now he still doesn’t seem very comfortable around me or sociable. I wouldn’t say he’s afraid of me, but he does sometimes get nervous around me and dislikes…[Read more]

Howdy!

Hey, my bunno Jumping Jack is 6-8 years now (I lost track). But I worry about spaying her.

So, she marks sometimes, but not often at all. I was wondering if I could train her out of it?

My dad doesn’t want to spay for whatever reason, and he’d be paying for it if I did it. So that doesn’t work well.

I feel like she’d do good with a…[Read more]

I think this might be a totally stupid question asking if they’re safe. 😆 I’m just really picky with the toys I buy lol. Just didn’t know if there’s any risks that comes with them!
Moonlightbunny66 replied to the topic Muffin’s chin rash is back in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago

Thank you DanaNM! He has a big squishy round face (super cute). That’s really nice that your friend spoke to the vet about it. 💜 You can thank them for me if you’d like! I’m still waiting for these test results, so I’ll see what comes out of it and switch to a bottle if needed! Thanks. 💜
DanaNM replied to the topic Muffin’s chin rash is back in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 7 months ago

I just chatted with one of my friends at the rescue who said she was lurking on the forum and saw this thread. She even chatted with our vet about it and said this can def happen from drinking from a bowl and getting the chin too wet if the rabbit has a certain face shape. Syphilis was also an option, so if you rule that out then she said…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding: Very Small Space (Help!!!!) in the forum BONDING 5 years, 7 months ago

That all sounds very cute and like it’s going well!
DanaNM replied to the topic dengie alfalfa pellets in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 7 months ago

That looks like a fairly standard lower-quality young rabbit pellet. You definitely don’t need to supplement more alfalfa pellets. My only concern is that they are slightly lower in fiber than some of the recommendations. Are they good at eating their hay? They should be getting unlimited grass hay in addition to the alfalfa pellets to encourage…[Read more]
DanaNM replied to the topic New to Bonding – How should I approach this? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 7 months ago

It can definitely be overwhelming when beginning bonding, but it sounds like you are off to a great start!

I would probably pre-bond (do side swaps) for at least a week or two. The fact that they are ignoring each other for the most part is a great sign, and having lived side by side for a month already is great too. Then you would continue side…[Read more]
DanaNM replied to the topic Unspayed female/neutered male in the forum BONDING 5 years, 7 months ago

I think it could work, depending on the rabbits. It used to be more common for females to be unspayed. It certainly makes things easier and more likely to work, but there are cases where it works out, especially when the female is old enough. If the male was calm around other bunnies and she was as well, then it could be successful. Would the…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Major Change in Bunny Behaviour! in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 7 months ago

Is his eating back to normal now? If it is, this change in behaviour is probably because he’s afraid you’ll grab him again.

If he isn’t eating like normal yet, I’d suspect some form of pain.
butters started the topic Unspayed female/neutered male in the forum BONDING 5 years, 7 months ago

Hi!

I adopted a bun named Butters a year ago. We rescued her and she was estimated to be about 8 years old, not spayed. We adore her and want the best for her. I’ve researched for so many hours the differing opinions of rabbits needing to be bonded, but also needing to be fixed in order to be bonded. Obviously, with her age, Butters can’t be spa…[Read more]
