Thank you all 🙂 Yes, I have an x pen with hardware cloth zip-tied onto it between them so they are unable to get to each other at all. It has only been one day of them seeing one another, but my current bun has been binkying around every time our new pal comes close to the x pen. Also, she lays down with her body right next to the x pen. He has…[Read more]

That behavior sounds very normal, and no outright aggression through the fence is great. Just be sure they can’t nip noses! That can build some bad feelings between them.

Bunnies can be extra smelly during bonding! They have scent glands which I think they expose in addition to leaving territorial poops. I just adopted a new bun and during…[Read more]

I don’t think it will be too lasting of a change, but he could still be in some pain from his dental work.

I would do as Moonlight suggested and not hover too much. I’m sure once he realizes he isn’t going to be prodded or syringe fed he will go back to normal.

Can you post the ingredients of the junior pellets? Young rabbits don’t need their pellets to be 100% alfalfa, they just need some alfalfa in their diet, either in the form of pellets or hay. Young rabbit pellets usually have alfalfa in them, so the food they were on before is probably fine.

It’s also very important to make any changes to the…[Read more]

Maybe you can try letting him come to you for a while and not trying to touch him? Kind of like starting your bond again. My bunny Muffin has chin issues and would HATE getting cream put on it, he’d freak out and run away. After a while of stopping the cream, he would still think I’m trying to put it on him sometimes and he’d freak out again…[Read more]

Both the rabbits may start smelling a bit because they may be leaving territorial poops behind, which are smelly.

Another reason can simply be where he was prior to you and that environment. My Fable smelled bad when I received her. She smelled like cheap pellets, which was what she was fed incidentally and it was awful. After a while though, she…[Read more]

I also found some kids play tunnels on AliExpress that I think would fit Muffin. Would these be safe? I’m just concerned Pinky would chew it because he’s always interested in chewing their fabric carrier when I pull it out.

Sweet!! I bet they’ll love them. Mine destroy those mini vine balls in like a minute lol!

Thank you! Another question. The female bun that I have has no smell, but for some reason the male that I just brought home today smells awful. He hasn’t even peed yet, so I am sure the scent is coming from him. He was just recently neutered on Jan. 7, if that is helpful information. I am wondering what I can do to make his smell better. Thanks!

Following each other can be from curiosity, it could be some aggressive stalking, but regardless it is an expected behavior at the beginning. If it evolves into lunging or biting through the pen, you want to limit the visual, but for now, that sounds like fine behavior.

Thank you! He is home! My current bun, immediately started to sniff him through the x pen. They sniffed and sniffed each other and have been following each other through the pen. Does this mean anything? Thanks!

I am so very sorry for your loss.

You did what a conscientious and loving bun owner will do for a girl bun. You did it to keep her safe and healthy. I’m so very sorry it didnt work as planned. You are not to blame in any way.

I’m glad your bun got to have you as her human. So many animals -and humans, too -will never know love. Your bun got to…[Read more]

LOL it does sound like they are being very dramatic!

I don’t even think mine is that slippery either… when I walk on it with socks it feels pretty grippy. I think Quin is just being extra dramatic but I kid you not she is still in her litter box and has only gotten out to drink water lol. You’re super lucky your buns have taken to it so well. 😭 Fresno and Nora have been laying exclusively on the…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 I have heard of gut adhesion happening before as a rare side effect. It is so hard to lose an animal due to spay/neuter or any other medical procedure. You did do the right thing by deciding to spay, as cancer is almost a certainty, so try not to second guess yourself. I agree with the vets that it was very bad luck.…[Read more]
