As you can see from my reply to Louie’s owner, I changed the box shape and suddenly everything works, hoping it continues to. 😅 Right now they get Small Pet Select, but I’m willing to give it a shot of giving them farm hay. I’m just concerned about the virus (they’re vaxed but still) or the quality, thus them not eating it. There’s a feed store…[Read more]

Thanks for your input! Glad your buns are eating well 🐰

In an attempt to make it easier for them to reach the hay racks I made, I switched their litterbox to a wider shorter one, but they STILL refused to eat the hay not in the box, so I last ditch effort removed the racks and just pushed the hay to one side that i wanted them eating while having…[Read more]

Louie used to be very picky with hay, eating a healthy amount but leaving a lot of waste, so I ended up tossing a LOT away after dumping his litter box. I ended up switching to hay sourced from a farm which is MUCH cheaper than the Oxbow timothy hay I used to purchase. After adopting Lola, I noticed she was much less picky, eating nearly all the…[Read more]

Hi there, welcome 🙂

Sometimes bunnies are skeptical of new foods, but once they try them a few times they will start eating them readily. This is probably an adaptation for them to not eat too much of something poisonous (they try a few bites and see how they feel). So as long as he’s not having any tummy issues, go ahead and keep offering it…[Read more]

Well today has been much less eventful, thankfully. Bun Jovi is still not with the group, will be taking him to the vet tomorrow morning. It’s a new vet, but they seem very well reviewed and have multiple rabbit vets there, so I am excited. I’m hoping it’s something easily treatable, but who knows. Maybe they wont find anything and then I will be…[Read more]

I also just noticed in your other post they are molting pretty heavily? My girls can get very grumpy during molts, and can end up with tummy trouble too. So if she isn’t letting you groom her, don’t be afraid to plop her on a table to give her a thorough grooming. With shy bunnies I think a deep grooming less frequently is less stressful than…[Read more]

Yes, the scratches probably are from the fight. I’m sure she is a bit depressed about the whole situation. Making their set up so they can see and be near each other should help (which you have), but there will prob be an adjustment period. Is she eating and pooping OK? She might appreciate a “stuffy” to snuggle, just be sure she doesn’t eat…[Read more]

Thanks! Sorry about having so many questions, but I have a few more concerns. I found some scratches on Chicory today and I believe Sage is the culprit. The wounds look clean and dry, but I’ll have the vet look anyway. Sage is fine, but I feel like Chicory is really becoming depressed. She was really reliant on Sage and since Sage attacked and…[Read more]

I asked a similar question ones and it seems it varies a bit between the cat and bun, but it can certainly work if you take time to do introductions and they can both have a safe space, sometimes the bun is the bully! On the other end I have a friend who is fostering 2 rabbits and owns a cat and she just keeps them separate as the buns are small…[Read more]

I just wanted to add you don’t need to buy specific bunny/pet treats as they tend to (in my experience at least) be rather marked up for subpar product and have preservatives to make them more shelf stable. I am not sure where you are located, but my bun loves freeze dried berries (you can find them for sprinkling on cereal or eating as a snack,…[Read more]

Oh, I’m so sorry you are going through this. 😥 

As you, Bam, and Dana have all said, 12 years is a good long life for a bun. 🙂 12 years of which I’m sure you granted Francis a beautiful life. 🙂 

They are our dearest companions, which makes it hard to accept the unacceptable. Yet, a lot of us make the mistake of thinking that when it h…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for what you are going through. It’s so hard with seniors, as you are just constantly worried about losing them, but then it is also a gift to be able to care for them in their golden years.

I just moved with 4 rabbits, including my 12 year old (Bun Jovi), so I understand how stressful it all can be! I lost my senior girl Bertha last…[Read more]
