This is totally normal after a neuter. Their hormones increase for 4-6 ish weeks after, before going away. Give it some time, and he’ll settle down.

Thank you Dana 🙂 I’ll take her to the vet as soon as I can. Hope we can manage any discomfort she might have…

I’ll buy the Oxbow joint support in my next online order, but I’ll have to do some research on softer litters, since here in Spain we don’t have Carefresh 🙂

She does have more shallow litter boxes in the room and around the house,…[Read more]

Hmmm that does sound like a touch of arthritis. You might ask your vet about a low dose of daily metacam going forward (it could also be a trial to see if it helps). Does she have additional boxes in the room?

Maybe switching litters would make it more enticing?

It didn’t occur to me that it could be arthritis, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she had it because I’ve noticed her hind legs are a little bit stiff and she’s rather lazy and clumsy. She doesn’t seem to have any problem jumping in and out of the litter box or cage though (when she feels like it).

What do you mean by a few weeks in neutral? A few weeks of living together 24/7?

Can you take his temperature? In addition to fluids and syringe feeding, keeping him warm if he’s cold would be the other supportive care to give until you can get him to the vet. I would focus on fluids (but nothing with a lot of sugar as that can further upset the gut)

If the ER vet sees rabbits, that would be the best bet. If they don’t see…[Read more]

Just seeing this thread now.  I have had aggressive bunnies before. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes it’s habit based on what worked before, territorial issues etc.    And so it can be approached differently for different reasons.   So far though, it looks like what you have been advised and are doing is working!  So I won’t add any further advic…[Read more]
