Flopping after being chased can be interpreted as a “Well, I don’t actually care… look how relaxed I am.” It commonly happened with my Fable after she got in Wick-initiated scuffles and chasing. Now that is just an inferred interpretation — in reality, who knows what it means, but at the minimum, we know that rabbits who are significantly…[Read more]

It is normal for young rabbits to begin not getting along when they reach puberty. Young rabbits, because they aren’t acting on hormones, tend to get along very well with any other young rabbit, regardless if they’re siblings or not. What you are seeing is likely them working out, as young-adult rabbits, who is the “dominant” one in the…[Read more]

Oh that’s really good points, thanks!

Thank you!

It’s hard to tell in the pictures if she needs stitches. It doesn’t look serious enough though that it can’t wait until Monday. I would still have a vet look at it when you can though, you don’t want it to get infected.

Hmm… to me, when they say “whatever”, they mean “if you want to waste your money on that…”. If you have your own money (I assume you have a job), then I can’t see how they could be upset with you spending your money on neutering your rabbit. After all, there are much worse things you could “waste” your money on. 😉

Update and a few more questions: I’m still slowly making progress with bonding Nova and Pekoe, and I’ve noticed chasing has increased. Nova will nip and chase then sometimes pinky afterward. Pekoe is always the one getting chased and a few times I’ve seen him lay down relaxed after being chased or even a flop. What does this mean? He doesn’t seem…[Read more]

Are you positive on their ages? It sounds to me like the boy (lionhead) is starting to get a little taste of hormones. This can happen relatively young, before they hit full-on puberty. I’m talking 10-12 weeks-ish. My guess is he was the one who started the scuffle. I think it’s time to separate him from the girls before something happens. You…[Read more]

Can you flavor it with something?

Everything else in my rabbits care is going just fine. I have my own car to get to there and after calling the vet and asking what they charge, have more than enough money to pay for the surgery on my own so my parents won’t be doing either of those things. I also looked up and tried to show and explain the benefits of spaying/neutering rabbits…[Read more]

Hi Wick! I appreciate your time and effort sharing your thoughts. Misha and lily ( the one got bitten ) they’re always fighting now. When lily is baby, misha is always giving her love and then when the lily is growing up she starting to fight misha (brown bunny) and i figured that lily is the problem since she’s growing up. Now, she’s spayed now…[Read more]

It sounds like you need to keep your rabbits separated for now. Did you see the fight happen? I’m wondering if the injury could be from anything else or if there are other injuries. For now, it’s important to keep the area clean. As long as your rabbit is continuing to eat and poop as usual, it can probably wait until you can have a rabbit vet…[Read more]

Thanks DanaNM! 🙂
