Thank you for such a thorough response DanaNM! I’m more confident about going forward! Hearing that you’ve been in a similar position makes me sure that we can get these two stinkers to be friends.
We’re totally prepared for this journey and since we are only in the beginnings, wanna make sure we’re on the right track before getting frustrated or…[Read more]

Hazel replied to the topic false pregnancy in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
I’m sorry, false pregnancies are always stressful for bunny and owner. Fingers crossed it will pass soon.
I don’t know if you are aware of the cancer risk with intact females, but at four years old she is very likely to have abnormal cell growth already, at the very least. I would advise you to get her spayed as soon as finances allow. Some vets…[Read more]

Sounds to be going well! 🙂
About the upper respiratory infection – how long has it been going on for? Does he have repetitive sneezes? OB had one of those at one point, you could definitely tell something was wrong with her too, for she had constant heavy breathing. 🙁 If it is that though, once my girly was treated, she was as sassy as ever…[Read more]

HipHopBunny replied to the topic false pregnancy in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
Oooh. I’m so sorry you are going through this. 🙁
My girls did LOTS of these too, unfortunately. What you can do, is give her extra hay, scatter it around her pen so that she finds it, and feels more fulfilled that way. Cotton was a great thing that my ladies loved too. Does she have a place to build the next? If she doesn’t give her an area…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Advice for short car ride? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 11 months ago
Oh gosh, yeah def good to visit the vet then. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
To address your original question, most rabbits do pretty well in the car. They may be stressed at first but tend to settle down. Putting a familiar smelling blanket or towel with some hay on top is usually the best bet. Our rescue often has to drive rabbits 45-60 min…[Read more]

No it seemed pretty random in terms of when she was uncomfortable. I haven’t introduced anything new yet, I’ve just been sticking with the things she’s already had. She has her vet appointment today so we’ll see how that goes. I’m just especially cautious about anything that could be a sign of sickness because they found a tumour when she was s…[Read more]

Celia & Clover replied to the topic flopping after being held? in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
Haha, I’ve definitely witnessed some passive-aggressive flopping before. “I’m way too cool to care about you” was THE attitude when I first bonded Clover and Celia. I can definitely imagine a bunny having the same attitude after being *gasp* picked up.

Celia & Clover replied to the topic Food aggression in rabbits in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
My rabbits are also well-bonded, and also have some food aggression (particularly with their evening pellets). Now if I’m training them to do tricks, I separate them first. Other than that I scatter feed at night which totally solves the issue. I can also feed them in separate bowls pretty successfully, but whoever finished first normally shoves…[Read more]

Moonlightbunny66 replied to the topic When to introduce food in bonding sessions in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
Thank you DanaNM! I added hay and some herbs today since this session is long. Muffin ate all the herbs, I offered one to Pinky but he didn’t take it. Muffin also ate some hay and Pinky had one bite.
Even one time when Muffin got up to eat, Pinky got up and groomed then went over to Muffin so he could lay beside him and snuggle.

I will certainly try and take some pics to post!
I feel bad the weather here is always 2 extremes so Tybalt doesn’t get a lot of outside time, it literally went from 30 degrees to 24/7 rain and cold 🙁
Haha I always sniff Tyb’s head too, more so now because he’ll let me literally bury my face into his whole body 😛 He always smells faintly of…[Read more]

Starlight is her name 🙂 I love her fluffy soft fur too, even if i gotta groom her 3+ times a week.

Baylor is too cute, love the black & white markings.
And I can’t get over what a cute fluffy little black ball Starlight is (sorry if that’s not his name) , he’s done a great job chewing up his mat too!

DanaNM replied to the topic Tater and Pepper – aggressive bun bonding in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
Thank you for filling out the template! So helpful! My first pair (the two in my avatar) would fight on sight too, and it took about 3 months of work but then they were madly in love, so don’t lose hope! The goal for you now is to absolutely prevent fighting and work on building trust between them. The phase where they “sort out dominance” has to…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic When to introduce food in bonding sessions in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
I wouldn’t add a litter box until later, but you can try food whenever you want. I often add lots of hay right away. If these seem relaxed you can give them their veggies together.
