DanaNM replied to the topic Bunny chews everything!!! in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 11 months ago
Some bunnies are just not great candidates for unsupervised free-roam due to chewing etc. My Bunston (who was also part dwarf!) was very destructive so we could only give him supervised roam time. I think the NIC cube grids are a good plan to block access, along with maybe using some safe lumber to give a better alternative. Hopefully he does…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Attempted trio/quad now two pairs- Myra, Bun Jovi, Bonnie, and Cooper in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
Thanks for the encouragement. 🙂 I’m going to be picking them up today and will see how everyone is doing and what the bonder thinks the best strategy is. I would like to know if she saw ANY positive behaviors between the girls aside from tolerating each other.
Not going to make any decisions right away, and I might try to do some proper…[Read more]

The Black Rabbit of Inlé will ask nicely, if she’s not ready he’ll skedaddle. 😉
I’m so glad she’s better! I hope that trigger-happy vet learned something from this.

Okay, take a deep breath, and just relax for a moment. 🙂
She’s watching the stress levels of all of them, and when Bonnie was stressed out “I then took Bonnie to sofa and gave her tlc until she purred.” They’re in good hands, and she’ll end the session when it is time. 🙂 If BJ starts getting really stressed out, which I don’t think will…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Want to bond 3 females in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
It can sometimes be easier to bond males, but any combo is possible. You would also probably be able to get a male neutered younger. Young bunnies are sometimes mis-sexed, so I was mostly just checking that your current girls were spayed to prevent any accidental pregnancies in case the new bunny was actually male.
It’s hard to predict how it…[Read more]

The 2 I have now are both spayed. I did not pick another female intentionally. That is what was available with where I am looking. Is it better to get a male?

Oh I know what you mean. What about a big piece of linoleum? Maybe with some pee pads underneath to catch any spills that run off the sides?

Well, things were going OK with the bonder until they weren’t. Got this update last night:
<p class=”p1″>“Well the girls tangled late in the evening last night so we are taking a break. They were actually doing just fine and BJ came over and mounted Bonnie and Myra hopped over full speed and tangled with Bonnie. Little nip on Myra’s lip not big…[Read more] -
Bam replied to the topic Switching Hay with Older Rabbit in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 11 months ago
Antibiotics as well as other meds can change the color of the pee. If it’s a uniform reddish orange color that deepens as the pee dries, it’s unlikely to be blood in the urine. Rabbits can pee reddish orange due o plant pigments in their food (often dandelion or carrots), certain medications, or spontaneously f ex after the first cold spell in the…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Want to bond 3 females in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
You will need to go through the proper bonding process just as you did with the duo if you want to add a third. introducing any new rabbit into a household can also upset the current bond, especially if it is a bit tenuous to begin with. You would also need to wait for the baby to get old enough to be spayed. Any particular reason why you are…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Homemade Toy in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 5 years, 11 months ago
That is nice! Treat balls are good because they give the bun good exercise and use of their brains, plus it slows their eating down, which reduces the risk of choking on pellets. A homemade treat toy like this is even better, it can be madee it of stuff you already have in your home!

Sha started the topic Want to bond 3 females in the forum BONDING 5 years, 11 months ago
I currently have 2 female rabbits who are bonded, Fefe(2 yrs) and Bunbun(3 yrs). Fefe was previously bonded with another female that past away. I got BunBun a few months later. They took awhile to bond. They were separated at first and Fefe would always try to get into Bunbun’s cage and try to fight. Now they get along but there is some little t…[Read more]

PFPbunbun replied to the topic Has anyone elses rabbits taken a long time to recover from stasis/gas? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 11 months ago
My bun (2 years old, male) is currently in recovery, according to our vet, even though he has these recurring GI symptoms for about 6 weeks already. He is very energetic at night, he shows no sign of pain or stress, but he just refused to eat and rarely drinks, and really inactive in the daytime. It breaks my heart that I need to force-feed him…[Read more]

Or zip ties?
For something stationary to chew on you could try attaching pieces of wood to something heavy, like a piece of plywood. Or if you have a heavy enough piece of wood with nice edges on it, that might work too. Just make sure whatever you use is bunny-safe.
