I’ve found that I have to use both the connectors and zip ties because the connectors are pretty unreliable with holding it all together, especially when I want to just slide the setup over a little bit and it all just crumbles into pieces lol. Which is incredibly frustrating.

Hi! I had this same issue with my little bun she’s now almost 3 months old! What helped me was I got her a jumbo size cat litter box, filled it with a layer of carefresh pet bedding and then placed some hay on top! She immediately jumped right in and hasn’t had an accident since ( it’s been a week and a half )

Thank you Bu20055! I still get emotional when I look back at his before pictures, and when he lays with his legs stretched out and I can see how much his little feet have healed. I can’t wait to rescue more bunnies in the future. 💕

Thank you for the quick reply!

So I did notice that she was shedding some very loose fur right behind her ears, kind of her neck area. I suppose that maybe that could be it, but is it normal to just end up in only one ear? I think I forgot to mention this, but it’s specifically only one of her ears while the other one is doing just fine. I even…[Read more]

Thank you much for you help! 🙂

That one looks really nice! I’ve been looking into condos too because I’d like to make one for my buns once they’re bonded, not as a living space but open all the time for enrichment. I think I’d make mine using the cube connectors, because Esther chews zip ties.

Oh my Fresno looks like a whole new bun! ❤️ What a cutie pie! Nora and Fresno are adorable together! 🙂

Omg, I saw you say your bun looks like Fresno and she really does! I mean I guess most Californian buns looks pretty similar, but still. 🤣 So cute!

Putting the vinyl tiles beneath the fleece seems like a great idea in case they pee on it. I was wondering what those people do if their buns just pee on the porous plywood… sounds like a nightmare.…[Read more]

If she seems to feel better with smaller portions more often, Id give that. Are you still giving the metoclopramide?

The sound she made couldve been pain from passing stools or urine. It is of course difficult to pinpoint.

Is she shedding right now? Sometimes pieces of fur end up down there, and since they’re so fine, it’s hard to see them and takes a while for a rabbit to get it out. Also, is it possible they are half-binkys? It’s a small gesture of happiness or general energy.

With my two co-habitating but not-bonded rabbits, I found stress bonding to not be the best because they both handled stress differently.  I think the general idea is, when stressed, rabbits would want to go to each other for a bit of security. In my pair, I found one habituated very well to stress so they’d be fine after a minute and the other…[Read more]

Nora would love to be friends with Quin, she lays next to her with the grids separating them and sometimes Quincy will lay next to her too, other times she’ll bite her. Nora doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and I’ve been wanting to get her a friend for a while now. I’m so glad Fresno came along and ended up being a little well-behaved gentlem…[Read more]

Hi Bam, Yes it sounds the same then the cornflour as your corn starch as it’s a thickening agent. I will do that remove the salt lick which she does seem to overly like and put it back only when I’m in the room but not throughout the night. I’ve just watched her go for a poop and she made the quietest of moans if I’d been the other side of the roo…[Read more]

Thank you so much @HipHopBunny and @DanaNM !

With stressing, some of the stuff I’ve seen people suggesting seem weird to me. I get using the vacuum and car rides, those, are things they need to get used to anyways, but shaking them around and stuff seems mean :(.

I’ll check out the link, thanks!

Sounds to me like they weren’t fully bonded, which can happen when you have young rabbits together. Humping is used to show dominance, so it sounds to me like they’re trying to sort out who’s boss. I’d say restart the bonding process from the beginning.

Face humping can be quite dangerous, as the bottom bun could have trouble breathing, or coul…[Read more]

Cornstarch is pure starch made from corn. Potato starch will work equally well. It is a fine white powder that is used as a thickener in food. We call it potato flour here.

Normally buns shouldn’t have salt licks because they don’t need them. A too high intake of salt causes poisoning in rabbits as well as in humans and dogs. I would only let her…[Read more]
