Activity

Glad she’s doing better. 🙂

Does this seem like a change, or has it always been like this? My buns do tend to sleep all day, but they prob do visit their box at least once during the day.

I agree with Bam. The bonding with you wouldn’t be an issue, but it would be good to wait at least a few days after bringing him home to make sure he is healthy and allow him to settle into his new environment.

We need more bun pics! (or turtles, kitties, etc.)

he seriously is too cute for words!

Hopefully he likes timothy hay as much as other hays!

Adult rabbits normally rest during the day. They mostly poop during their active hours. How does the poop look when she does poop?

I doubt it would affect your bonding very much, but the stress from travel could potentially put a bit of strain on him. A rabbit neuter is a pretty simple affair though, if the rabbit is healthy and reasonably young. (With an older rabbit you might have to warm the bun up post surgery with a heating pad, sock with rice, hand warmers or a warm…[Read more]

Update- second try in shared space. Lots of cuddles. There has been some zooming but it did not turn into fights. I caught them circling a few times but they stopped after I did a psssst. they are sharing water, toys, and a litter box. I figured I would wait to put their individual litter boxes

I’m hoping we are in the home stretch. Should I k…[Read more]

Thank you everyone for the very helpful responses! I did some of what you said DanaNM and it seems that Rain was probably just a little dehydrated that day from spending so much time upstairs away from her litter box. Thanks for the link Bam, and the good vibes MrsBunny.

Ah, I see. There is the chance that his hormones are still adjusting. It typically takes 4-6 weeks, but the post-neuter craze can last up to 8 weeks. During this time, it isn’t unusual for a bunny to display more hormonal behavior than before they were neutered. It probably wouldn’t hurt to restrict their space at night until he calms down. Once…[Read more]

I’ll also just add that you haven’t been working with them too long and your sessions are pretty short so far (if they are still just 30 min). If they still get feisty over a clean litter box, try waiting until they are spending many hours together at a time and then try to add it in. It could just be a bit too early in the process to add it. Buns…[Read more]

I got Otis (newer bun) in late July and got him neutered early August. They are bonded now, it did take a couple weeks for them to adjust to eachother though. Glad to hear it would be okay to crate him if necessary, I felt like a bad bunny mom having to do that.

it would definitely be more ideal if I didn’t have to because the crate I have for h…[Read more]

How long ago was he neutered? And are they bonded?

There is nothing wrong with restricting space at night. Some bunnies just need that structure.
