Activity

Thank you all! So far we still have power. But I will keep this in mind for our next storm Friday and next Tuesday

It sounds like it’s going ok, but maybe you just moved a bit too fast? With only a few days of pre-bonding and a few days of sessions they really haven’t had much time.

I think I would go back to following the method you used on the first date, and rather than marathoning, break up the sessions into shorter chunks for now. So start with a car…[Read more]

Hmm ok, you could try at least adding a visual barrier between the pens during the break, such as cardboard or a towel pinned up between the pens.

If there are any rescues in your area you may also reach out to them, they may let you bring them in and use one of their pens for bonding sessions.

I really like the fur buster comb! I also use a lint roller on some of my buns and do a lot of hand plucking for the buns that shed in big tufts.

Thank you so much. I apologise it’s been so long since I stopped by the forum, life is pretty busy these days.

Unfortunately we didn’t hear back on Luna’s test results today, so I have to try to keep myself sane until tomorrow morning.

Trying to remind myself that if she makes it through surgery, she’ll be so much more comfortable without that eye.

The intros are done in a fully neutral area, that gets deodorized each time so each time I do an intro the space doesn’t smell like either of them.   I have considered giving them a full break but unfortunately, I have nowhere I can house them where they couldn’t see/hear or smell each other.  the only relatives I have in town are my in-laws an…[Read more]

Yes, they had a full vet checkup twice this year. Blood work, the whole nine yards and I’m $500. poorer and have two very healthy all be it slightly fat bunnies.   And I’m not sure how much closer I can monitor given I’m hovering over them the entire time during these new introductions.  But these two can and do go from a normal expected in…[Read more]

Sending some positive vibes your way and for Apollo too !

Are you working with them in a neutral space, or just removing the barrier between their pens? In any case the bond is fully broken, so you should be working with them in fully-neutral space only for now.

Since it sounds like the fighting was pretty intense, it may be good to do a longer break with full separation (out of sight and ideally smell…[Read more]

In my opinion, unless it’s been hate at first sight, buns can be bonded with time and work. Have they gotten a full vet checkup after their fight? Not just for injuries, but if they have anything else going on.

My concern here would be that they’ve had horrible fights, not once, but multiple times. Are you actually able to eventually monitor much…[Read more]

Parroting LBJ10, so nice to see you but def wish the circumstances were better! Luna is definitely a fighter, sending lots of good vibes for her. <3

I agree they should be fine unless it’s super super cold. Giving them heaps of hay to snuggle into will keep them toasty if needed.

How much gum are we talking here? If it was a stick of gum or less, I wouldn’t worry too much about sorbitol. I would be more worried about general GI upset or stasis simply by eating the gum. So watch food intake and poop output.
