Hazel, I’m sorry to hear about Bubbles. 🙁

Is that for chickens?

I’ve never heard of it, but if it’s a UK thing then that would explain why. Hmm… so no Amazon, ebay, etc?

I’m leaning towards that too. I actually didn’t know that rabbits had scent glands until now 😀 but that makes sense because he’s my most prolific territorial pooper too!

Its a veterinary disinfectant, but it’s used also for respiratory. Some people here on the forum use it in nebulizer for their bunnies who have URI. It’s also commonly used for reptiles with URI issues.

Dface uses it for her bunnies with nebulizer and she sent me a link to what she uses, but she’s in the UK. It seems to help from what those who h…[Read more]

Thank you!

Yeah, I’ve never thought they weren’t stinky. LOL  Perhaps Dana is on to something. It could be scent gland odor filling the room if he’s on a date when it happens.

What’s F10? Sounds like a vehicle number.

It can sometimes affect things, but no hard in experimenting a bit, as you might hit on something that works really well. I ended up settling on the small space during sleepy hours with mine to encourage them to sleep near each other, but the bigger space later so they can get some exercise.

Thanks so much for the reply! I’m glad it sounds like it’s going well from an outside perspective. I’ll try removing the litter box like you suggested. I started in a pretty small area where the litter box took up almost all of the available space. Have you noticed changing up their space that often throughout the day affecting how they are to each other?

Ok, I definitely think a consultation with a vet would be in order as I agree, this isn’t normal. There could be hormonal causes, or other causes like a bladder issue.

I found these past threads on excessive mounting:

It honestly sounds like it’s going fine if they are grooming a bit and snuggling a bit, and not fighting! This is interesting, because usually one bun will get territorial over the litter box, but it sounds like you have almost the opposite problem!

Perhaps you could remove the litter box for some periods of time if you think it’s causing some…[Read more]

@Meg gave some really great tips for building trust.  Will she let you pet her? I often have success by starting with lots of petting on the ground, when they are in a relaxed mood (so usually after meal time). Then you can kind of sneak in with the brush will petting with the other hand. Hand plucking loose fur often works as well or better than…[Read more]
