Awwwww Dorian is adorable and looks so soft! 😍 It’s so cute when bunnies stand up to periscope!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I’m going to monitor him in the next month preceding his neuter, and we’ll hold off on the x-ray unless things get unexpectedly worse. Hopefully everything will be fine though.

Rabbits don’t form true bonds with other animals, so another rabbit would be the best choice.

Some rabbits (very rarely) don’t get along with other rabbits, so they might enjoy the companionship of a gentle cat, but it wouldn’t be a true bond really.

I’ll just add that young bunnies should be getting a larger amount of alfalfa pellets. You can allow him to free-feed (unlimited), especially because he’s so thin. Whether he is 4 or 6 months makes a difference, but many people recommend free-feeding till 1 year old.  It can take young bunnies a while to get used to eating timothy hay if they’ve…[Read more]

If there’s a local rescue, it might be possible to do some rabbit speed dating! If you think she’s lonely, an experienced rabbit rescue will give you the best chance of getting a good second rabbit to bond who will get along with her.

I don’t have any experience with cats and rabbits, I’ve also heard it can be possible, but would definitely be…[Read more]

How is his behavior? Does he seem nervous or scared? He has transitioned to a new environment, so it may take some time for him to feel safe enough to eat. Notably, I would recommend against pellets that have veggies and fruit mixed in — rabbits are selective foragers, so a rabbit will learn to only eat the “treat” bits in it and not the actual…[Read more]

Bunnies slow down as they age. There will still be bursts of energy, of course, but you will probably notice more periods of rest. This isn’t anything to be concerned about. As long as they are still doing “normal” things, it’s probably safe to assume that they are simply slowing down a bit. Try not to stress too much. At 7 years old, it’s very…[Read more]

Yeah, it looks like a callus to me. What ointment did the vet give you? An OTC cream like Bag Balm may work just as well. I guess it depends on how expensive the stuff your vet prescribed is.

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. 🙂
