Oooh yeah Bun Jovi does this too. A temporary solution was to take a piece of cardboard and then clamp it over the edge with those heavy duty plastic alligator clamps you can get at the hardware store. That way he would just chew the cardboard instead of the box (it was kind of loud though).

Then I got a heavy duty dish bussing tray to use for…[Read more]

Thank you, yeah I think some more serious pre-bonding will help too. After giving Bonnie some serious cheek rubs, there is no way we are giving her up.

Looks like cute chilling and grooming to me. If he is kicking inside his ears a lot and shaking his head side to side it could be ear mites. You can take your phone flashlight and look inside his ears to see if it’s really dirty and scabby deep in it.

I noticed my Pinky kicking inside and shaking his head a lot multiple times a day everyday, so I…[Read more]

Hahaha thanks guys 😆. Animals are just so darn cute! They lure us in with their adorable faces so we feed them yummy food!

I’m sorry things didn’t go in a positive direction. Was still worth a try though, so don’t feel bad. With enough time, I think they can get there, Bonnie just needs to gain more confidence. 🙂

Modifying the setup so they can be closer together would help a lot I bet.

Oh also I have another question. Baylor has been chewing on the edges of his plastic litterbox. He tries to push it out from the corner. I’ll post some pics:

Again thank you so much! I do have the connectors so maybe I’ll try those. I’ll have to go get some wood, but I’m sure I could build something for Baylor. Thanks for all of the destroying toy ideas! I’ll have to try some out!

ok thankyou everybody you really helped

I thought it was obvious? LOL

I have also used mesh! You can get what’s called “hardware cloth” at hardware stores, usually in the section with chicken wire. I think I used 1/4″ mesh size and it worked well. It was just more of a pain to deal with and didn’t look as nice. I was intrigued by these grids because they seem easier to deal with and I already use NIC cube grids for…[Read more]

@DanaNM ooh that’s a good idea! Thank you, I wonder if I could purchase a roll of net mesh and somehow figure out how to connect it to the grids if that would work? Hmm 🤔

I was just looking over a slide show by the Ohio House Rabbit Society on bonding and they mentioned “nose guards”, which turn out to just be tiny mesh cube grids!

Seems like they would be very handy, I just ordered a pack for myself!

Well, it definitely seems they backtracked. They were OK with sharing the carrier when I dropped them off, but had to be in separate carriers on the ride home because BJ was tussling with Bonnie. I didn’t get to talk too long to the bonder, but it seems like not much progress was made. She agreed with my assessment that Bonnie is “defensively…[Read more]
