Not many folks here know very much about baby bunnies (since breeding discussion isn’t allowed here), but the weaning process happens at around 4-5 weeks. After that time they are still developing their gut flora and being with their siblings is good for their behavioral development.

@Noodletherabbit Thank you! It doesn’t happen every time he eats his cecotropes, but I often find brown spots on the blankets. What diet did your bunny switch to? Thanks. 🙂

His former owner told me he is over 3 years old but I am not so sure about that lol since she lied about the neutering

They’re so cute together! After how much his life has changed for the better, I’m sure it never even crossed Fresno’s mind to cause trouble during bonding, he appreciates anything and everything he has. He’s one lucky bun. And Nora is just too cute for words! 😀

Yup, he’s all boy! 😆  How old is he?

Also, she was selling the bunnies $20 each, which was far lest then the other sellers I have seen. Since I am getting them at this age, is there anything I should know, regarding health?

Yes, I forgot to mention the age concern. I didnt understand why the lady was giving these bunnies away at such low age, besides from the fact she wantes to get rid of them. Im guessing she had an unexpected pregnancy, and the bunnies are too much for her. But correct if I am wrong, they look a bit older then just 5 weeks old. 

It’s good you are being careful! Baby rabbits should really stay with their mom till 8 weeks… is there a reason you are getting them so young?

The earliest females can get pregnant is 12 weeks. So you could get them at 8 weeks, then separate at 12 if there was any uncertainty about their sexes.

You are right, he is definitely not neutered! Pillow seems an appropriate name, LOL!

If he isn’t behaving hormonally then you may have just lucked out.

Definitely sounds like territorial marking to me. It’s understandable, as they are wanting to claim the pen as theirs. The rest of the house, at the moment, is probably neutral-ish to them. I agree with Dana. Confine them and experiment to see if anything seems to be amplifying it.

I agree. From the photo, it looks like hay dust stains. Bunnies naturally have condensation around their noses, especially as it gets cooler out (even though we heat our houses).
