I’m going to admit that I didn’t read your whole post thoroughly, but I will say this isn’t uncommon! In many cases buns are the “boss” of the house cats.

My newest bun actually will charge our cats as well, even though they are not even interacting with him. It has gotten better over time though (we adopted the new bun about 4 months…[Read more]

If they aren’t bonded then it likely won’t stress them out, even if they have been living side by side. So I think it would be safe to proceed with the plan to move them next to each other as neighbors.

The only thing that could be a little tough to judge would be what to do if they are very newly bonded, or almost bonded. In that case you…[Read more]

Bam, thank you so much for the reply,
I see that makes sense, I’ve seen cecatropes for him and I think he’s using his tray but I’m not entirely sure as he’s bonded to two other bunnies, hopefully he is I’m going to try and see if he uses the tray before the others and keep my eye on it, luckily the simethecone on its own seems to be helping a…[Read more]

Emeprid is a gut motility drug. It’s not considered safe to give unless you’re an obstruction has been ruled out. Is he pooping?

What you’ve done so far sounds very good. Try to make him move around a bit, exercise helps gut motility. Hopefully this is “just” a bout of gas and he might feel a lot better if he can pass gas.

Make sure he’s kept…[Read more]

Ok that is helpful. It hasn’t been very long at all, so please try to be patient. Bonding can take several weeks in easy cases to several months in hard cases.

So first of all you should give your new rabbit a lot more time to settle in before starting bonding, especially because he is shy. If you start off with a very fearful rabbit it makes it…[Read more]

Yeah they are both neutered my first rabbit was neutered 5 months ago not sure when my new rabbit was neutered but he is 4 years old! My first rabbit is free roam and new rabbit is in a pen. My new rabbit is shy he’s even frightened of me only had him for a week but feel like giving up already

Hi there, sorry you are having a tough go of it. Some more information would be helpful!

Could you answer these questions?
Are your bunnies spayed/neutered?
If so, for how long (for each)?
If not, why not?

Please describe your bunnies’ current housing set-up (living together, as neighbors, etc.).

Did you allow the bunnies to “…[Read more]

That’s wonderful! Thanks for the update!

Hello. I just wanted to thank all of you for responding and sharing advice/tips based on your experience!  I appreciate you all so much!! With the appropriate attention and medical care, Max has fully recovered and is back to his normal happy self! Warm regards!!

Oh one other question, have you noticed if he also have well-formed cecals that he’s eating? The poops you describe do sound like cecal dysbiosis, so I’m wondering if he’s also not getting normal cecals.

Also just want to say I feel for you, taking care of a poorly bun is very stressful and draining. But I do know of several buns with “icky…[Read more]
