Thank you so much for your advice! I will definitely wait till shes spayed then. 🙂

You wouldn’t think rabbits would need a night light, but mine always liked having the light on. 🙄

Hmm… the fur pulling is concerning. Are you able to look down there? There could be something irritating the area and he’s trying to alleviate it. In fact, humping can be a sign of bladder problems. You wouldn’t think that would be the case with an 8 month old unneutered bun since humping behavior is pretty normal… but something is doesn’t…[Read more]

My problem is floor hay is somehow better than box hay. Of course, not all of the hay dragged out onto the floor gets eaten… so yeah, lot’s of waste. I end up picking it all up when it’s time to vacuum.

Shooot that would drive me nuts haha! Is there any kind of light in the room at night? I’ve started keeping one on for mine and they definitely thump less. And yeah, poop and litter fly out when Fresno does it too. A nice clean floor after vacuuming never lasts long around here.

The safety boops really do sound so cute, Fable is precious and I…[Read more]

Based on what you described, I would definitely not recommend it, for basically all of the reasons you have already identified. 😉

As long as your bunnies are getting enough exercise inside, they really don’t need to go outside to be perfectly happy.  In fact, it could be harmful and frightening to them, since you mention there are lots of…[Read more]

“Safety boops”?!! How adorable and amazing. What a great idea. 🙂 <3

He did come from such a horrible situation, but I do hope he continues to calm with time. Maybe some chamomile or lavender would help?

Thank you for rescuing a bun and planning to spay her. 🙂 It would be best to wait until after her spay. Hormones in intact females can make it very hard to bond them properly, so it would likely be lots of stress without much pay-off.

She’ll need 2 weeks to heal, and then it can take a bit of time for hormones to settle after spaying, so if you…[Read more]

Fable consistently thumps between 2-4AM for at least one elongated episode! Prior to coming to me, I believe her foster might have kept dogs and cats too and only had 1hr of free roam. Before that, I think I was told she came from hoarder. She has a small scratch on her nose where fur doesn’t grow in, so some sort of face injury happened and she…[Read more]

Definitely not zoomies, because once he’s done freaking out he stands still with fearful eyes and his ears and tail perked up like he’s on the lookout and if I’m not careful, like if I move suddenly, it’ll sometimes set him off again. He can be in his litter box eating hay one second and the next he’s sprinting out of it and crashing into the…[Read more]

Is it potentially just zoomies? My Fable, who came from a not-so-great original environment was so fearful when we brought her home. I actually discussed with the other BB moderators about potential respiratory assessments because her breathing rate was always so high and she always seemed super super wired and nervous. It’s been a little over a…[Read more]

I agree with Dana on many fronts, especially in that the aggressive behavior is very normative and functional for her– it’s not meant as an act to spite you, but rather a belief that she is protecting herself and doing what she needs to to survive.

Is she still eating and pooping as normal? Just under the idea that her behavior might be reactive…[Read more]

Firstly, please don’t give olive oil to a bunny that’s not pooping. Have you been able to see a vet? If anything, give fluids.

To get the oil off you can use cornstarch. Add the cornstarch to the oily parts and then comb it out gently.

You can alternate using a damp and dry cloth/towel to try and get some of it off. Is your rabbit still not pooping? Not many people (at least on these forums) actually talk about using olive oil as a way to help rabbits poop.
