It took a while for my pair to be OK with hidey houses in their shared space, so if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t mean it won’t be agreeable eventually!

You could try it and see what happens! If the nipping/chasing continues, then remove them.

If you feel like things have hit a stalemate, you might try taking them on a car ride together or changing up the space (or even moving them to a new space if you’ve got one).

I’ve learned that expanding space and adding new toys doesn’t change their behavior but adding hidey houses/boxes do. When a box is added, Nova (my girl) ends up chasing and nipping Pekoe back into the litter box. Would adding two boxes interfere with building the bond?

Meg – Thank you Meg 🙂  And LOL I love that book title… I’m going to look it up!  And awww that’s super cute, I’m going to try that grinding teeth thing with my buns tonight!  It must be so nice to hear him reply to you with a little teeth grinding 🙂

Dana – Now that you say it like that, I think it makes so much more sense not to try to “c…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply, that’s super helpful! 🙂 I worry when he does anything slightly abnormal so I figured I’d check. I’ll keep an eye on him, he has his first vet appointment next week anyway.

Sneezing without discharge can be due to dusty hay or other types of dust in the environment. You can “de-dust” hay by placing some of it on a towel, then pick up what you can with your hands. The hay dust and chaff will be left on the towel, which you can then shake out outdoors.

Its not uncommon for young animals to get a bit of eye crust at…[Read more]

Things are basically the same. I’m definitely going to have to go to a vet. I’m glad they’re doing curbside services because otherwise I would be scared to go inside.

Aside from the rough carpet, he doesn’t tick any of the boxes for what typically causes sore hocks. No thumping or anything, haha. Poor Bun Jovi. His ‘tude wasn’t very helpful for him.

The rough carpet has been completely covered by either fleece or with fleece covering half-inch memory foam. Again, they are still in the two hidey houses he…[Read more]

Hmmm, it doesn’t look too bad, but it does look a bit red. And pretty unusual for a dwarf to get sore hocks! Has be been thumping a lot? Bun Jovi has a callus from thumping so much. His are definitely in the “keep an eye on it” category.

Does he do well with beds? Maybe just having a softer place to rest will help. I also wonder if those double…[Read more]

I also think that he just needs more time to adjust to your schedule, so doing things that will encourage the routine of being more active before you go to bed is great, including timing feedings.

Since this is a very old thread I will lock this one, but please start a new thread on this as I’m sure you will get some helpful tips. 🙂

Sorry this was a few years ago but I need help 🤣

I’m trying to teach my rabbit tricks but it never works 😢. They don’t follow when I do the spin trick the just turn their head. I also can’t find good treats for the two of my bunnies
