@LBJ10 – well I am used to cats, so that will work for me! Though he did stop and then went and did his crazy digging in his box where he is allowed to. It gives me hope one day he’ll figure out that when I say Dorian I am not just announcing his majesty to all who are present but would like him to come. Even with a treat he just stares at me…[Read more]

That definitely looks like a release of energy, sort of like a half binky.

Hi thanks for the reply , I am not very sure if it’s like a binky.  She is 8 years old and seldom does a binky anymore.

It has never happened during urinating. She has been neutered though.

I managed to upload a video of her doing it: https://youtu.be/WV2xo2mRAcc

Domesticated rabbits typically don’t see humans as a predator, especially ones that are accustomed to living inside a house. They will communicate (or attempt to communicate) with you like they would with another rabbit. I’m sure they know humans aren’t actually rabbits, but they interact with humans as though they are peers (rather than…[Read more]

See, they can learn the word “no”. They won’t always listen, but they can definitely learn what it means.

I’m hoping she’ll be cooperative with the costume…. So far it’s not going well.

Thank you. I called more vets today, found one an hour and a half away that may take Muffin (waiting for a response). The one closer was taking appointments for late October. :/

Some bonded pairs will mount as well, so as long as the humping doesn’t lead to a scufffle it’s OK (but you will want to see the chasing die down). And sometimes the might go through the chase-hump thing whenever you move them to a new area or increase the space, and then will die down again.

When rabbits communicate with each other, getting right in the other rabbit’s face is seen as threatening, so that would explain why your rabbit is getting defensive towards her.

Ok, that is pretty much what I’ve been doing they are with me all day in the office 8:30-12 then 1-6 and they go in their cages for their own cages until it’s play time. They have been sharing everything so I was shocked there was humping in the non neutral home. We went back to the office today with the increased space. Some chasing and hum…[Read more]

Is the movement similar to a binky? I’m wondering if it’s an expression of energy for doing a pee out of the litterbox, either as a victory for marking territory maybe? Does this movement every happen during the urination? Unfixed rabbits especially will pee while binkying in order to better spray their scent around the room.

@DanaNM – he actually was being good, he’s recently been allowed access to that chair so I think he feels like he is getting away with something just sitting up there!(I am hoping to eventually uncage my couch once he thinks of the chair as his instead). Also reread my post and seeing so many typos/proof reading fails, sorry everyone!

Haha yeah, grandma always waves her hand directly in her face, I’d be annoyed too if I was her. But grandma is 100 times larger than my bunny, how could she misunderstand grandma as a rabbit???

His expression says, “Who? Me? I wasn’t up to anything….”

Chinning is fine! It’s just marking the new things. Sometimes new couples will mark a lot to stake out “their” new turf. Zoomies and binkies together without it leading to a scuffle is very good! 🙂

The issue with a baby monitor is that if something serious happened you might not get there in time.

If it isn’t feasible to sleep closer to them (I…[Read more]
