Thanks DanaNM! They spent an hour and 40 minutes together today in the neutral territory. I’m thinking of doing 3 or 4 hours tomorrow since it’s been going so well.

Yeah I wasn’t sure about my bedroom. That’s a good idea with the towels over the pen. I’ll probably do that in a few sessions.

Is it 48 hours in a neutral or semi-neutral space wit…[Read more]

Yeah so she actually eats really good! She got her spay this past Wednesday, but I noticed her lethargic tendancies before the spay. The vet told me she could just be adjusting to all the new stuff and she’s indesisive about how she’s feeling, being rehome twice she could be worried about that. Each owner only had her for about a year.  The spay…[Read more]

Yes he’s a dog, although he does enjoy the occasional piece of lettuce. 😆

Gotcha, yeah I’m guessing spaying and a more stable home will help a lot. Spending lots of time around her but ignoring her completely is also a good trick.

When she seems unhappy/lethargic, I’m guessing she still eats and poops normally? Just checking in case something health-related could be at play. How long ago was her spay?

My foster was…[Read more]

Hi @Louiethebunny ! It has been a while. Yay for Lola letting you pet her and yes please post pics of the handsome couple if you have a chance! Best of luck with classes too!

@Hazel – Otis is a dog right? not a Bun…

and @talesofTybalt more pics!! I get you on the outside time, we had bad construction most of the summer so was limited to a…[Read more]

Before her spay she was super territoral, and had pretty bad food aggression. Other than that it seems to be pretty random. Some days she wants alllll the snuggles and other times she really just wants to be left alone and seems unhappy or lethargic. But also with all the work we’ve been doing it seems to be getting better? Most days it seems to…[Read more]

I’m so happy you are having an easy go of it! How long are they spending in neutral space together?

I would probably consider your bedroom as not neutral at all really, since their pens are there and they play together in that room. But they might still be OK (I have sometimes skipped semi-neutral, but only have they seem super bonded in…[Read more]

I agree with @HipHopBunny, it sounds like you are doing a great job and more time will probably work wonders. 🙂

With buns that go a bit too crazy for hand feeding, it helps to hand feed things that are long and not quite as exciting LOL (like a lettuce leaf).

Do you notice any triggers to her aggression or does it seem random?

The main ingredients are starch and sugar, which should be very limited in a rabbit’s diet as they can upset the balance of gut flora.

Hamsters and other rodents have very different diets from rabbits and can handle a lot more sugars and starches.

I imagine if you break them up and use a small piece as a training treat it wouldn’t harm the bun…[Read more]

Ahhh, I’ve been pretty inactive here lately, with my online classes I’ve been busier, but Louie and Lola gets tons of extra free roam time! They’re doing super well, lots of flops and cuddles from them, I’ll have to post some photos! Can’t believe it’s already October! Today Lola let me really pet her for the first time without food in her mouth, yay!

I’m not altogether sure what they mean by colic, maybe they use that word because its one that people are apt to understand? Horses and human babies get colic. Horses are very similar to rabbits, digestion-wise. Some vets even say rabbits are just tiny horses 😀

I do think they mean what we call GI stasis. I’m glad they’ve made a treatment plan.…[Read more]

GAAAAH! SO much cuteness going around! 😆

Dorian, Starlight, Tybalt, Bernard, Bonnie, Baylor – Keep the pictures coming everyone! 😀

though if they do eat a bit of catnip it’s not biggy… does not seem to affect them the way it does cats either! I had to research after Dorian got into a batch :). It is in the mint family, which is a super easy plant to grow for buns to munch on, parsley is a good option too. You can often find both for pretty cheap at grocery stores. I usually…[Read more]

Aww floppy Bernard! Is her belly shaved?

and more Dorian spam as he was being especially adorable this morning

I can’t answer your question, but hope you get good news about Snowball soon! Maybe when he is over the worst of it he can re-cooperate with you? Not sure how your foster situation works at your shelter, I know mine likes sick animals to be in foster as they tend to get better faster. Also trying to figure out what you may have missed will tear…[Read more]
