And here is a recent picture of Chester’s condo (figured out pictures! Woo! Thanks technical thread!).

Tried to get a view where you could see the grid underneath.

Inserting isn’t working because I am terrible at technology but there’s some pics/a video.

We also have carpet so I put some scrap vinyl down under/in front of the doors so hay is easier to sweep.

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]

It has been since august in all, fue weeks of seperated, fue weeks of neutral territorial, and then together

Thank you for your replies, around 2 months ago he stopped eating so we took him to the vets he had some injections and picked back up but has always been on the skinny side compared to his brother so maybe that has something to do with it, just so heartbreaking with his age and circumstances 😟 we’ve got our other bun in our room tonight as h…[Read more]

Late to this thread, but we built our condo upper levels with plywood supported by more cube grid things, and zip ties. No additional wood support needed. Ours are 3wx2dx3h,a bigger setup might need additional support.

We also built “trays” for the whole bottom floor so that I could lift out the entire condo for deep cleaning the litter box level…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing about Bunston.

You’re right, 8 is good long life too and I keep trying to remind myself of that. Sometimes it just feels so surreal that Chester is still here and kicking (he’s around 14, we aren’t sure his exact age) and she’s gone. Over the last year I have been preparing myself for the possibility of him going (as I…[Read more]

I agree with Dana. The best thing you can do is go back to litter training 101. And yes, I would look into seeing if she has some arthritis developing. Something as simple as a litter box that is low on one side may help.

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁 Sometimes when something very serious is wrong in rabbits, it presents like stasis (as stasis is really a symptom rather than an illness itself), but then it progresses very rapidly. She was a beautiful bun.<3

So please don’t beat yourself up. As much as we all expect and hope our rabbits live to 15, 8 is an old…[Read more]

I agree that it just sounds like things are moving too fast. Are you doing their sessions in neutral territory? If they are doing well in one space, you should spend a lot more time in that space to “cement” the relationship (usually 24-48 hours of positive behaviors with no scuffling or fur pulling). To get a bit more info, there is a “bonding…[Read more]
