im so sorry that you are dealing with this, I know the stress, because unfortunately I’m dealing with it right now. I actually had this happen between my neutered buck and not spayed female, and eventually they were able to get along. Something that really helped to move it along was setting them side by side and petting them for ten minutes, t…[Read more]

A medium sized rabbit should produce 200-300 round (fecal) poops every day. If a rabbit doesn’t poop, there is a problem somewhere. Either the bun isn’t eating and drinking enough, or the consumed food isn’t able to pass through the GI canal. Since you are saying he isn’t eating a lot, I take it he is not eating as much as he normally does. If…[Read more]

Haha, exactly as LBJ says. You get a picture of a blur with whiskers, if you’re lucky!

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]
