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! 🙂

It sounds like you want to neuter your rabbit  but don’t want to upset your parents. Upsetting your parents may not be something you can change, but you can always try.

Rabbit.org is House Rabbit Society’s website which talks about the benefits of neutering. You can perhaps play to the property destruction and ease of care aspect of neutering  w…[Read more]

I will try this, thank you so much!

I have been giving him treats here and there to distract him while I leave but sometimes he isn’t hungry or doesn’t want the treats but when he does it works great, Thank you.

The lionhead is a male and they are all about 8ish weeks old.

At a year old you can reduce his pellets. He is likely filling up on those so he isn’t interested in his hay (and if he grew up eating only pellets he might not really know any other way). I would start by checking the recommendation for his weight on the pellet package, and then maybe double that for the day. Then start slowly reducing it and…[Read more]

Another thought that crossed my mind is perhaps you can give him a treat or a toy (or even top up his hay) before you leave the room to distract him a bit?

As long as his hay consumption is good, you can go to hay-only. Some buns are just very sensitive, so starting with hay and then trying each other part of the diet can help figure out the problem. Just keep an eye on his pooping to make sure he’s eating enough hay!

First just wanted to say I’m sorry about the loss of your female. 🙁

Neutering in males is mostly for behavioral reasons, usually things like poor litter habits, spraying, and aggression. Excessive nipping and mounting attempts can also be obnoxious. Unfortunately, unspayed/neutered bunnies are often surrendered at shelters for the same reasons…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with the brand you mentioned, but you can make a pellet mash if you need to syringe feed. Sherwood forest also makes a recovery food that I’ve used (seems to work fine, some of my bunnies prefer one vs the other so I usually try offering both), as does Science Selective (that I have not used).

Agree with LBJ10. This is unfortunately a common problem. We actually have a pinned post about it that might be helpful: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/help-why-are-my-rabbits-fighting-by-dananm/
