How are things going with your three HipHop?

Mounting and spraying can definitely be part of the bonding process, even when there are no hormones left. I know of some bonded pairs where the male will still spray the female daily.

Have you done any pre-bonding with them (cage swaps)?

I’m interested to hear what happens if you don’t intervene as much, and a bit more about the bonding space…[Read more]

I just ordered  hay from an Etsy store; it’s fairly expensive but it’s really amazing quality. It’s called Fays Hay, I ordered the green supreme:

The one I got is a soft, third cutting. But my picky bun loves it! He has an ear infection currently so I think it’s painful for him to eat/chew, but this hay is something he’s constantly eating (an…[Read more]

That’s so useful! Thank you so much! 😀

That’s wonderful, you’re welcome 🙂 Feel free to keep asking questions for more tips on vet-finding and pre/post-op care. 🙂

Thank you! I think I will and the tips you provided are really helpful!

When Vilde had an enclosure at my mum’s (he’s now free roam there), I used a vinyl table cloth (the type with a fabric backing, you buy them per meter or yard from a big roll in home improvement stores). The enclosure was smaller than the table cloth so the edges of the table cloth stuck out about a foot on all sides. Table cloths like that are…[Read more]

Too many cute buns!!! @Starlightbunny love the little hay shark!!

And the handsomest bun about Tybalt!! Has he gotten a bit bigger?

@Bam Vilde lounging like true royalty.

Moonlightbunny66 – the sweetest snuggles! I want to rub their little noses!

And here is Dorian, who is happily in full Prince of Chaos mode today, he’s making up for being…[Read more]

Thank you!

Lol thanks! They do love each other! Pinky is a funny little bunny hehe.

I agree with Dana. With an experienced vet the surgery is very safe. My girl is 6 and when they spayed her she had quite advanced cancer. Thankfully the spay removed it and she’s been doing wonderfully. A rescue near me recently spayed an 8 year old, who also had cancer, but unfortunately hers had spread 🙁 . She’s doing well right now though luc…[Read more]

I have a little digger/chewer, so for me cheaper seagrass mats & cardboard it is. I could see puzzle mats destroyed in minutes, but your mileage will vary! I found some seagrass mats with heavy rubber non slip backing on amazon and they have been wonderful. The grass is tightly woven so he barely makes a dent in it and can not get to the backing.…[Read more]

Aw yeah, you might try adding a nice fluffy hay layer on top of the wire grate to see if that helps as well. But if they are covered by fur they are more likely to be calluses. Doesn’t mean should wouldn’t appreciate a softer screen though. 🙂

Another forum moderator, Wick, uses these softer plastic meshes for her buns’ litter boxes. I think they…[Read more]

sorry to hear about the vet experience, I had something like that with an elderly cat. My solution was to make sure I never dealt with that vet again, mind you that can be easier with cats and dogs if you have limited vets available. But if you have a choice don’t be scared to voice a preference.

Aging is a hard process, you are likely going to…[Read more]

Yup, you’re correct, I had to move the fur to see it! In fact, I only found them because I was looking for them. Those are both pictures of the same foot, the other little pink area is even smaller than that one, so I took a picture of the one that looked the biggest and most concerning to me. The vet prescribed a scar healing cream, and suggested…[Read more]

usually the quantity in these mixes of mizuna is pretty low too, so I totally agree with @DanaNM. Even a few spinach leaves are not going to hurt your bun unless they are sensitive. From everything I have read making sure you have a good variety is the best course of action as then you get a more balanced nutritional profile and is closer to what…[Read more]

Just a small update here! We have finally set our move date for Dec 5. I haven’t been doing any bonding sessions with my three, just side swaps every day or two, which have been uneventful. They have all been spending lots of time laying near each other.

Copper got neutered finally… so I am going to take Bonnie on a date with him today (I…[Read more]
