I actually don’t know when it happens.  She lounges and sleeps a LOT these days, it is hard being old 🙂  I just find it after the fact when I go to feed her or change her litter, etc.  I usually see it where she sleeps the most, that’s why I wonder if maybe she wakes and has to go but too slow to get there? It doesn’t seem to be leaking, I on…[Read more]

Aww poor girl. <3 Does she get up from sleeping and just pee where she is, or is it while she is laying down?

I’m not familiar with age-related incontinence in rabbits, but my female dog growing up had this when she got into her senior years. It would be good to rule out a UTI, as they can cause urine dribbling and leaking.

I use pine pellets! They are super cheap ($9 for 40 lb from the feed store) and work really well. I just put a fluffy layer of hay on top of them.

I use pee pads sometimes (like for lining carriers) but I think using them all the time would be expensive and wasteful (so much plastic trash!).

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.
