Oh, and about your last question about play time, that depends. Some bunnies are fine to have lots of space together right away, others do better with restricted space at first, then gradually expanded. You will prob be able to gauge based of their behavior when you move them to non-neutral (or if you let them out to play and have issues, you’ll…[Read more]

Oh my goodness they are looking so great!!! They look so relaxed around each other! Way to go! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit jealous of all these easy bonds on the forum lately! LOL

I would try for a 4-6 hour session in neutral before making the jump to less neutral. You can also start in neutral, and then move to less-neutral after an…[Read more]

Is he making normal poops as well? Or are they all mushy?

My concern with a rabbit that young is that he could have coccidea. It is hard for me to tell in the picture you posted, but that looks like it could be diarrhea. Or is it mashed up cecotropes? Coccidea (a parasite) poops are very smelly and completely unformed… they smell almost like a…[Read more]

Oh, what an adorable boy you have! 😀

What this sounds like to me, is a neuter problem. Judging how old you said he was, I’m guessing he isn’t neutered. Unneutered/spayed rabbits do, unfortunately, tend to poop smelly and mushy poops outside their litterbox as a way of marking territory, so if that is the case, you will just have to bear it for…[Read more]

and here’s some cute photos from today 🙂

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!
