It’s true you would want to be extra certain that they couldn’t get to each other (storage cube grid work really well for making temporary housing/pens… especially the fine mesh ones which can be used as “nose guards” that they can’t nip through). But I’m sure whatever works best for you will be fine. I was just imagining when you eventually get…[Read more]

I honestly think this might be the cause of the weepy eye. Because the liquid is sticky that’s coming out of the bump and it’s the same consistency and stickiness as before. Might be a pimple. Going to vet tomorrow so will update you guys 😉

I thought of that originally but I was concerned with the idea of leaving them alone since the rabbit room is on a separate floor from my bedroom. Since the rabbit room is already bunny’s territory as she’s lived in there for 3 years. But If that is still considered the best way to go then I will definitely do that.

It’s on top of the skin not under

No not that cause it’s up farther

Many rescues also have a good sense of whether dogs are good with cats. So if they know a dog is good with cats that might be a good starting point!

Meibomian cyst maybe? http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Eye_diseases/Disorder/Meib/Meib_en.htm

It might be better to set them up side by side in the rabbit room, and then use the bedroom as a space for bonding sessions, as that sounds pretty neutral?

Your current bun might be annoyed at first, but part of the process will be her getting used to another bun being in “her” turf.

Totally agree Pinkiemarie! My cat is never allowed to lay a paw on the buns (squirt bottle is essential) but they are definitely allowed to boss him around if he gets in their space!

I also have to be aware of why types of hides I give them and where I put them. At one point I got a hide for the buns but my cat just saw it as a perfect place to…[Read more]

She’s going to the vet tomorrow anyways

Yay I’m so glad to hear they’re doing well!

The bunnies are doing very well! We were up bright and eary to get them their hay! I will definetly make to sure to look into fatm supply store near me, that would me and my bunnies out alot. I will definelty let her know. Thank you for checking up on us:)

I have to disagree that cats and rabbits should not be introduced because I have 3 of each in my house and we’re doing fine. That said, depending on your cat’s personality she may need a lot of training. Introduce their scent to each other now so it isn’t so shocking later. No unsupervised time until the cat is trained and trustworthy. Spray…[Read more]

I just came here to ask about the bunnies too! Please let your mom know that if you have a farm supply store in your area you can probably get a huge amount of hay really cheap so you don’t have to constantly worry about restocking.

To be totally honest, the best part of my bonded pair of watching how much they love each other. The second best part is how much they love me 😀 they were an eternal comfort to each other and both of them will lay their heads down together in front of me for group pets. Give them time to settle in and get to know you and I’m sure you’ll be…[Read more]

My rabbit doesn’t have access to the whole house but she has definitely been in most primary areas. I will have to experiment a little I guess.

I was thinking of using my bedroom as a temporary housing for both and using a playpen to separate them, and use the bathroom or any other open spaces for bonding sessions. My rabbit lived in my room for about a few months a year ago but hasn’t been there since so I hope that will work for housing till they’re bonded and I can move them to the rabbit room.

Thank you for the input! We are definitely trying to stay away from sporting breeds because of our family’s more mellow lifestyle. The point of adult dogs having a more established personality is a very good point, so we may look into older dogs because puppies are little bundles of energy!
