Activity

My bunnies are quite lazy during most of the day, but during their active hours, around 8am and 8-9pm, I feed them and hide their pellets around in their stacking cups and their tunnel and other toys so they have some fun and get some enrichment to get them! It’s my favorite way to get them a little bit active, and once I shake the pellet jar,…[Read more]

You have gotten good advice from Tybalt! All kinds of foraging for the daily food is good. Its so very natural for buns to have to search a bit for food or “work” to get it. Problem solving makes them smarter, they spend some extra calories and get tired in a natural way. Its even good to serve the hay on several places, it often gets them to eat…[Read more]

I think some bunnies ARE just more content with having a lazy day every day, don’t worry 🙂 My lop is about 9 months-ish and honestly since he turned 5/6 months he’s been extreeemely chilled out and NEVER plays with the million toys i have for him lol. The only thing he responds to is cardboard boxes from my post packages and his pellets when he…[Read more]

Pinky is so cute!!! Tybalt also loves dunking his things in his water bowl! I had to stop leaving toilet paper rolls with hay overnight in his pen because i would always find it soaked in his water bowl the next morning haha. Definitely get some stacking cups for Pinky and Muffin, i love watching them flail their heads about unstacking the cups 😛

oh my gosh a whole year already! Happy gotcha day lil guy <3

One of my fosters would take the stacking cup with pellets in it and run across the room so his brother wouldn’t take it, but in the process would spill all the pellets everywhere! So by the time he stopped to eat them there were no pellets left in the cup! LOL 😆

LOL Muffin does the same thing sometimes but I’m not sure if it’s intentional. I totally forgot to order stacking cups a while ago. I’ll have to add that to my list! 🙂

Louie likes putting his favorite items in his water bowl… I end up pulling a lot of toilet paper rolls, little wooden sticks, and more out of there. Louie and Lola’s new favorites are some baby stacking cups tho! Sometimes I hide treats, and they love tossing them around to check underneath.

Perfect! I will check out those threads and articles (: thanks for the resources!!!

Here are some other threads on aggressive buns that might be helpful, although the situations are slightly different:

You’re welcome! The timing with her spay makes me think it could very well be related to that!

Thank you, this is super helpful to me! Its given me insight to some things that I have not yet considered!

She does not appear startled when we stand, just very alert to it and already moving at us quickly before we have a chance to notice. We have tried to move slowly, but she still lunges just as fast! We recently noticed that she responds…[Read more]

Hmmmm, does it seems like she is startled when you stand up? Does she behave this way if you move slowly and make a noise to let her know you are going to move?

I wonder if based on her history, she might do better with a smaller area of access, and less 100% free-roam hours a day at first. This is just a guess, but I’m wondering if she sees the…[Read more]

As long as her pellets have alfalfa in them you can start transitioning her to timothy hay.

I agree with Hazel, bed and couch -peeing is a really common problem. Some people have had success with putting a plastic shower curtain under a blanket as the “top” layer on the bed, as the plastic blocks some of the smell, so the bun is less likely to pee, and then your bedding is at least protected if they do. But I don’t think that would be…[Read more]

I’m so happy too! And she has actually been really sweet since then, so I’m wondering if maybe she had been starting to feel grumpy and uncomfortable for a few days before she was really symptomatic. Molts are pretty hard on her. 🙁

I gave them myself 😯

It was a bit stressful, but I was given the advice to “have a cup of tea and try again…[Read more]

How long have they been bonded? Sometimes it can take a while for box habits to improve again after bonding, and unfortunately some pairs never get completely perfect again.

Hopefully the confining helps and you can at least get the peeing under control! I know personally I can handle poops but cleaning up pee is so frustrating!
