Aside from being a bit smaller, that looks like a healthy poop, and still within a normal range (although I don’t have a scale). As long as they are uniform and all else looks good (and your vet isn’t worried), I prob wouldn’t worry too much.

It’s very common for rabbits to experience “referred aggression” when a new rabbit arrives in the house. Rabbits are so smell-oriented, they get confused by the new rabbit’s smell on you.

Good news is that should calm down with time and neutering of the boys.

For now be sure to wash your hands and arms after handling the new bun and before…[Read more]

Well, I made the decision to end the session after about 8 hours last night to give everyone (including me) a break and a good night’s sleep. Good news is, Bun Jovi groomed Bonnie at one point, and the girls seemed to be calming down. Also good news is Myra and Bun Jovi are still good with each other, they were cuddling and grooming throughout the…[Read more]

Sounds like everything is going we for you both :).

Those definitely sound like bunny purrs if its similar to the sound of her munching on some hay. In the picture it looks like she is lowering her head closer to the ground while you pet her. It is definitely a sign she is enjoying the pets, a sign of trust and it is not too early. As long as she…[Read more]

Hi all! Just now I was sitting down with OB, she flopped and her breathing sounded like seagulls. She’s fine now, though. Am I over-worrying about her breathing?

She looks very content! 😉 My ladies will sometimes make that position when I pet them too, cutest little things. 🙂 Tooth purrs do sound like they are eating, so that is another sign of joy. Have you found the spot where she likes to be rubbed the most yet? 😉

Lol to be honest I would take the advice of this forum before I would take the advice of a veterinarian who doesn’t specialize in rabbits. That said you have the advice on which medication for this condition is dangerous for rabbits so go this one time and move over to the exotics vet for future visits.

YAY! Finally! 😛

PrinceDorian: Oh, that rabbit! I just want to smush that little fluffy face of his! 😛 In that last photo where he has his paws up on the seat is just so precious! Way too adorable! <3

Hazel: LOL 😆 Good teamwork you both! (Although he might not want to go back in it tonight, I have a feeling Big-O might have drooled… :-P…[Read more]

Welcome, Esther! 😀 Oh, she is a beauty! That fur! 😮 We’re going to need more pictures. Well, don’t look at me! Hazel asked. 😉

That looks like a very typical molt-line. If there is bare-skin underneath instead of new fur growing in, I tend not to groom there because I perceive it might be more sensitive since that new fur hasn’t appeared yet.

Your reaction and its ability to encourage or dissipate the behavior, I think, depends on the rabbit’s intent for nipping. For example, if a rabbit is nipping for attention and you walk away, this would discourage them from doing it in the future; however, if a rabbit’s intent is to nip you to go away, then walking away would then encourage it,…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the reply 🙂 I hadn’t thought about giving his regular food in my hands too but that’s a great idea. I tried this morning already for his breakfast and I thought he would snatch a piece of lettuce from me and eat it on the other side of the room like he tends to do with treats but the whole thing was out of my hands and in…[Read more]

Dorian the Explorian out and about! 😉  I can’t get over how handsome he is. You gotta tell him to stop sleeping with his eyes open, he’s freaking out the elephant. 😆

Oscar: “MOOOM!!!”

Me: “What?”

Oscar: “LET ME OUT! THERE’S SOMETHING UNDER MY BED!!!”

Oscar: “Teehee, works every time. Thanks Big O!”

Yeah, retreating would technically give her what she was trying to achieve, so it’s not the ideal solution, I brought it up as an alternative to physical punishment. If you get bit you will jerked your hand away automatically anyway (giving her what she wanted), so at that point walking away won’t do any more “harm” in that regard, it will however…[Read more]
