The vet did check his teeth. She said the color of the gums seemed a bit off but didn’t dwell on it. Max has finally laid his head flat down and several times. He has nibbled on one or two pieces of hay but that’s it and he still isn’t drinking water on his own. While he is taking all the prescribed meds, is it absolutely necessary for him to be…[Read more]

Some bunnies can become cage aggressive, even if they aren’t in an actual cage. That being said, her enclosure is way too small. Have you considered a pen or a NIC condo? One where she can come and go on her own without being picked up?

I’ve had several females that were highly “aggressive” with a couple even labeled as such as the shelters with giant warnings. At the end of the day, just observe what exactly is the trigger. Think with a bunny hat, rather than a human hat, and pour as much love and tenderness as possible. Rather than quarantine them away, I quarantine myself…[Read more]

You can use something a little “stronger” as long as it is outside. Like pest control companies will sometimes spray around the perimeter on the exterior of the house. I have had no issues with them doing this.

I assume then they didn’t check his teeth? If things were being pushed up in his chest cavity, then that would have shown on the x-ray. Other than that, I don’t know what else could cause him to position his head weird unless it was a pain response involving his mouth. Dental issues can cause stasis and GI upset.

He tries to lay his chin flat on the ground but he can’t for some reason so he brings his head back up… it almost looks like he can’t breathe the way he is positioned.

i would say the aggression started in June  2023 this was when her bites broke skin and blood would show up. before that she would do nips here and there but it never broke skin like in June.

instead of using a spray bottle what should i do. and that’s day she bit my mom she had just finished showering.

my bunny has the space to get out by he…[Read more]

This morning I woke up at 4:30amEST and noticed Max pooped quite a bit outside of his liter box (nothing in the box).  Most poop were oddly shaped and different sizes. We immediately took him to the ER. The vet gave him .66ml of Meloxicam and 75 ml of subQ fluids and advised us to give him some Critical care when we got home. She also said to…[Read more]

Ah I see, so she has been spayed a long time. How long ago did the aggression start? If it was a sudden change I would recommend having her checked out by a vet, because sudden changes in behavior can indicate medical issues as well.

In general, rabbit aggression is an indication of fear, so I don’t think spraying with water will help in the long…[Read more]

I got her June 2021 I spayed her in May 2022. reasoning for this was because i wanted her to feel safe in her surroundings before doing the surgery. Before the surgery is when she started to show minor signs of frustration which i thought were hormonal and territorial. after her surgery we was calm and sweet she would climb on our shoulder when we…[Read more]

Don’t know what kind of area your buns live in but for me, it was months and months of cleaning and spraying with bug killers (buns relocated). They kept coming back, probably eggs buried under baseboards and deep in carpet or something. Inspect area multiple times a day if possible. I’d temporarily relocate buns.

Bugs had gotten into the litter…[Read more]

How is he doing today? That position definitely looks like he is in pain (especially the top photo). Not eating and drinking lots of water could indicate a dental problem, among other things, so I would get him to the vet ASAP. You can try offering pellet mash or softer foods to see if he will take those.

I’ve had good luck with ant baits kept out of bun’s reach, plus food-grade diatomaceous earth around areas where they are coming into the house. You don’t want to be dusting all around the buns, but once it’s on the ground it’s very safe and my buns ignore it.
