We immediately rushed to the vet when we heard he is grinding his teeth , we tried many ways to feed him , but he didn’t take anything. He breathed his last at the vet , it was our 3rd visit to vet yesterday. From my first visit I’m continuously begging them to do something as he hasn’t eaten from last 10 hours , they simply said it coz of…[Read more]

Spay/Neuter
Are your bunnies spayed/neutered? Yes, Calliope was spayed in June, and Theo was neutered in September.Housing
Please describe your bunnies’ current housing set-up (living together, as neighbors, etc.). They currently live in my room together. Right now I have them separated so Theo is in my closet and Calliope is in the rest of the…[Read more] -
DanaNM replied to the topic Help with bonding please! in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
Agree with all above! Neutering is very safe if you find a rabbit savvy vet, and is definitely needed for bonding.
Ideally for finding a good match, you would get him neutered first and let hormones settle down. Then if possible you might take him for “speed dating” at a local rescue. Male-female pairings are most common but male-male pairs are…[Read more]

There is a bonding template pinned in this section. If you could fill it out and paste in your reply that would be really helpful!
I will say that I have had similar situations and experimenting with the space seems to help. So trying either larger or smaller areas, and a brand new neutral zone can help.

DanaNM replied to the topic Falling Out in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
Can you fill out the bonding template to give us a bit more info? Did you thoroughly check for injuries? Sometimes bites can be hidden by all the fluff.
Are you able to supervise them 24/7 for a few days in a neutral space (or maybe a pen outside their main area) to make sure things are OK?

Theo- male holland lop
Calliope- female dutch rabbit
They have both been spayed/neutered for 5 months.
Soooo, today my pair had a bit of a scuffle. I didn’t see very much of it, but there is a lot of fur on the floor. It didn’t last very long, but one of my bunnies is definitely more distraught than the other. They have only been bonded a few…[Read more]

Alexis started the topic BONDING HELP! in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
So I started bonding my bunnies (A 1 and a half year old male, and a 7 month old female) about a month ago, they are both fixed. I just get mixed signals from them. For hours straight they cuddle, groom eachother, flop next to eachother, share food. But sometimes the male starts biting her at her sides. This leads to them circling but shes not…[Read more]

What a cutie pie!
The rescue near me recently had, I believe, 5 buns in for their spay and neuter surgeries, and they all did wonderfully! The rabbit rescues near me take in tons of rabbits every year, and spay and neuter all of them, with a VERY high success rate. Not sure about the other rescues, but the one my gremlins are from has never…[Read more]

Thank you, my friend is still doing fine! Copper should be getting neutered Nov 18th or 19th.
Unfortunately Myra is not eating this morning, so please send some vibes for her! Of course they always get sick on the weekend. Going to pick up some fluids for her now. 🙁

Molly replied to the topic Checking suture on my Dunna in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
Supposedly this vet is rabbit savvy but she didn’t seem like it really… I specifically asked for pain meds given for the stapling and they just sent some home. It was an hour drive and I couldn’t give it to her in the car because she doesn’t like the taste and I have to hide it in banana. It upsets me. Bunnies are living creatures. Of cours…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Rabbit back teeth issues in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 11 months ago
That is slightly on the higher side. My Wick’s were around that, if not slightly lower. Rabbit procedures are generally more expensive, but where you live and that vet practice’s access to resources can heavily impact what price you get there versus if you went somewhere else. If it is a price you feel comfortable with, the next step is ensuring…[Read more]

Hi all, just looking for some advice.
Our mister Dracus is a 1 year old male lionlop who primarily lives in the house – also has a sizable area outside for grazing. He is intact as it stands and not too hormonal; very friendly and not too many territory marking behaviors.
He was the last of his litter so has no bunny friends as it stands and,…[Read more] -

Thank you @Moonlightbunny66! Bunnies are very tricky to figure out whats wrong!!! Yes, I agree with @LBJ10, clogged scent glands could be an issue.

Sounds like she was just nervous from being in a new home. I’m glad everyone was able to reassure you and the poop finally came. 😉

Oh yes! A rubber broom will work wonders. Use it to “rake” the big pieces of hay into a pile so you can scoop them up and throw them away. Then vacuum the little bits.
