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:

How to Deal with an Aggressive Rabbit

This article might be helpful too (esp the very bottom section):

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!

@Ariadne’s Cinnamon Bun – oh I can see the similarity. You need to share more pics now 😀

Thanks @Hazel!

So grateful that you responded! Thank you! They are in singles, you said that means territorial, I didn’t know that! I have a little foldable fence/gate I’m going to try confining them in one corner and see if that helps. I do already have 2 litter boxes and my room is honestly pretty small, I definitely don’t have room for another so I’ll start w…[Read more]

Thanks Noodletherabbit. I asked the vet if it would help to use a water bottle and they said it probably won’t. But I can see what they think this time, since the issue came back.
