Hi LunaRosie! I have locked this topic, as there is a similar one you started earlier with some more responses. It is more helpful when all responses are within the same thread!

I’m not sure about paint, but I know there are a lot of rabbit and guinea pig safe stains that you can use to turn wood all different bright colours (mainly used on toys). That might be the closest thing?

My rabbits never thump loudly unless they’re scared. There must’ve been something bothering her. It makes sense that she was less thumpy when you were in sight, because everyone feels safer when someone else is around. It’s possible her last big thump when she saw you was her trying to warn you about the danger you were ‘carelessly ignoring’ :P…[Read more]

I doubt that she is spayed. Its not about the rabbit surviving a spay, its about the tiny, tiny size of the parts the vet has to remove when doing a spay. If the bun is very young, it’s not yet fully developed in the nether regions.

It is possible to littertrain an intact rabbit. My bun Yohio was young when I got him (approx 5 months). He…[Read more]

My picky little lionhead loves American Pet Diner timothy gold and the feedtastic one. I went through many different brands too. APD is her favorite.

My bunnies eventually chew any carpet they can sink their teeth into. I’d guess that your other bath mat probably has it coming too at some point, but the new one is just more exciting to explore (with little mouths and sharp teeths). Unfortunately in my experience once they’ve started chewing something you either 1) live with it or 2) find a way…[Read more]

I agree with Bam- rabbits adore their pellets. My girl steps all over my feet, runs in circles around me, jumps back in forth, and sometimes binkies in excitement as I’m dishing her pellets. I’ve started taking her water bowl off the ground before I dish her pellets because she knocks it over in the middle of her pellet dance lol

Shes not a fan of carriers and gets stressed by noises. She doesn’t get crazy stressed in cars but still nervous.

@DanaNM

Yes. She’s the kind of bun that’ll eat anytime and takes lots of eating breaks. It was about 4 pm-10pm. She stopped eating her cecotropes as well (for that time- she’s eating them again now- and she left them in…[Read more]

If you are choosing between food for indoors rabbits and outdoors rabbits, it’s reasonable to think that outdoors rabbits need a bit more energy,  since they need to keep warm during the cold season. They will also grow more fur. If they live in a biggish enclosure, they may be more active digging etc than indoors rabbits are.

Outdoors rabbits…[Read more]

Car tips:

1. Don’t play music. Run the heat or air conditioning as appropriate, to help with temperature and add white noise. Keep the car as quiet as possible.
2. Use your gentle voice to soothe the rabbit. Just talk to them every so often. Tell them it’s gonna be okay and you’re almost there and they’re doing a good job. Especially if they…

At the visit in July the vet and assistant took a peek at his teeth and said they looked normal but nothing too extensive. He doesn’t seem to be having any difficulty eating or drinking just gets a bit messy as the salad will wash up on his cheeks and he drinks out of a water dispenser and water dish. I’ve been contemplating trying a water bottle…[Read more]

Was the 6 hour period during a period where she would normally be eating? Just wondering because it’s normal for buns to not eat or poop much during the periods of the day when they normally sleep.

Have they advised you do do anything in the meantime?
