Ok that makes sense thank you!

Happy New Year everyone!

@DanaNM : How nice that you can work with the gsp, I’m sure he’s so happy to have you around! Would love to see a picture of him. It sounds like you’re making great progress!

Thanks Wick! Actually, I can’t have a wall between them – I have 2 rooms that are each for another bunny. The best thing I can think of now is to put a fence in the doorway (2 fences, because Dorian can put his face through the fence, and Pi can bite him right on the nose or close). I’m buying this Lego-like pen (search in images on Google: Tespo…[Read more]

Yes, that’s how they do a “thorough” spraying. 😉  Hopefully the neutering will help him calm down.

Trios are possible, but you do have some challenges, especially since they are free-roam, so a third rabbit will be seen as an intruder, in addition to a stranger. This is the same for someone with a single bun, but with having a bonded pair, I do wonder if your rabbits may not be as interested as a single bun to connect with the third rabbit. Is…[Read more]

I’ll mix up some critical care and see if he’ll go for it.

With that history I imagine his teeth could definitely be part of the problem or the root cause. Sometimes even the tiniest molar spur will make a bun not want to chew certain things. It’s also something that you could provide supportive care for until his vet gets back from maternity leave.

Will he eat critical care willingly? I would opt to…[Read more]

Okay, thanks a bunch. For now I’ll side swap them and maybe start ‘through-fence’ dates in another week so they get used to side-swapping first? Or should I start both and if they react badly to dates, do just side-swaps for some time?
