I would caution against feeding greens to a bunny this young. As you know, his gut flora probably isn’t very robust yet so feeding greens could cause upset. Him being so young is not ideal, but he should be able to manage on an alfalfa-based pellet and hay.

Haha, I haven’t been doing that long of sessions. Well, the longest I think I’ve done straight was 3-4 hours. I do multiple sessions a day though, that usually adds up to 3-4 hours though. When I do the marathon, how big should space be? Thank you for the response, all of the replies I get are really helping to make the bags that have formed under…[Read more]

<p class=”p1″>Ughh the girls are kind of testy and it’s giving me doubts about my strategy. Bonnie keeps doing things that are very rude IMO (like lunging at  Myra while she’s drinking so Myra choked on her water). Hmmm.</p>

It’s somewhat up to you. With some of my pairs, I waited until they seemed pretty much bonded before going for an overnight (supervised still). Others I actually marathoned to actually finish the bond. How long has your longest session been at this point?

That could work. 😀 Good idea! How soon should I do a marathon? They still nip Smokey, but just now they were snuggling with her! 🙂 Thank you for your response.

I would use the space you’ve been working with them in, but find a different flooring solution. Maybe get a big piece of plywood? You could put some cardboard on top of it as well. Since it’s temporary it wouldn’t matter if they peed on it or chewed it.

Yay! So excited! She’s a gorgeous girl!

Nothing to worry about, it’s normal. Mine get really golden poops when I give them oat hay.

And you can just switch between grass hays, no need to slowly transition.

Welcome to being a bunny parent and obsessing over poop!

The room they are in right now for semi-neutral has mats on the floors, and I moved their x-pens in there. If I didn’t, haha, they’d have the whole house. When I take them in there for dates though, they’ve chewed the mats so much! 😥 How can I make it so they don’t chew? The neural space – I was in a rush to figure out neutral areas, so it is…[Read more]

Esther is a beautiful name! 😀 Very graceful, strong, and sweet. 😉

I don’t know who on earth you could be talking about who has an obsession with pictures! 😮 (Mmmm, I know, maybe Hazel, and PrinceDorian 😉 )  Love ya guys! 😆

@DanaNM

Her whiskers an eyelashes are totally adorable.

Yeah. I can’t imagine looking at her face and thinking another name. She’s been at the rescue for about 4 months and I’ve been following them the whole time she’s been there.

Esther is a very cute name for a elegant older lady bun 🙂  I love her curly eyelashes and whiskers <3

I know what you mean, my most recent three buns kept their shelter names because they just had them so long and they suited them. Doesn’t stop me from giving them nicknames though!

I love the names I don’t think you should worry but wait for other people to answer this one

I’m so excited for you! 😄

@DanaNM

Thank you!

Okie dokie! Her box habits have improved a ton since her spay the rescue said. Only a bit of poops out of the box. I of course don’t expect her to be perfect at first.

Ill definitely supervise closely at first to make sure everything is safe for her.

She actually already has a name. Her name is Esther. I was c…[Read more]

What types of spaces do you have available to marathon? I def think you should at least do an overnight or two in the neutral space you’ve been working in before you move them to their permanent home. Maybe you could get a piece of scrap linoleum as the flooring?

@NoodletheRabbit

Thank you!

@borya01

Thanks! I’ll definitely make sure we go at  her pace. Definitely wouldn’t want to rush her.

Thanks for the list! I’ve actually printed out a couple I’ve found just to make life easier.

Those types of pellets are actually what I was planning on using and that’s also what the rescue uses.

Date 6 +

Took the plunge and started marathoning them about an hour and a half ago! I have set up a large area (2 xpens linked up) in my friend’s garage, lined with pee pads and a bunch of hay.

The rode over together in the car in a bin. They were NOT happy about it but got along with each other.

So far things are going OK? Some nipping and…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁 Some of his behavior might be grieving, so keep that in mind. I have heard stories of cases like yours where the more human-focused bun passes, and the other bun actually ends up bonding more closely with the human since the other bun is gone.

I think since he is sensitive about hands, I would do a lot of hand…[Read more]

WOOHOO! 😀 I have the jitters for you! So exciting! YAY! 🙂

I love that name, Dana! 🙂  Hmmm, for some more how about Molly, Maple, Calico, Annie, Minnie, or Holly?

When you get her, you’ll post more pictures, right? 😛 She is beautiful!
