Sorry, it was late when I initially replied. The others saw what I was getting at though. If you’re in his space when it happens, then this could be interpreted as territorial behavior. However, if he approaches you outside of his enclosure and nips you, then it’s probably more attention seeking. Or, as Bam said, it can mean “move”.

I agree, an x-pen would be preferable. A dog crate or NIC condo would make a good “home base” and can be used for temporary confinement if necessary.

Hard plastic toys such as baby keys or stacking cups are generally considered safe. But I would recommend avoiding things with small holes, like a “wiffle ball” type toy. I could see an accident like this happening if the holes are small enough for their incisors to get stuck in. You were smart to get rid of the toy. You don’t want something like…[Read more]

Glad to hear it!

Yay!!! Thanks for the update!

Update: She just got the stitches out today and it looks great! She’s a very happy bunny now:)

But the presence of the new un-altered bun is likely to continue to create some problems. Until she is spayed (and your boy is neutered) you should move her so she’s not right…[Read more]

It’s hard with babies! Do you have plans to get her spayed? That should help a lot.

If she is always peeing in the same spot, she might do better with another litter box in that spot. Or even a puppy pee pad if a box doesn’t make sense in that area (like if it’s in the middle of the room). If the room is large she might not be inclined to go all…[Read more]

I agree with the others. You might also look into using NIC cubes to build a pen or condo. They are my person favorite. 🙂 There are a lot of really elaborate ones you can build if you search online, but here is an example of a really simple one: http://www.bunssb.org/bunnies/perfect-cheap-bunny-cage/
