There is a very high risk of uterine cancer in unspayed females (75% by age 3, that proportion goes up even more as rabbits get older), so it is important to do it for health reasons. There are behavioral benefits to it as well (litter box habits, reduced territorial aggression), but to me the health reasons are the most important.

I’m very sorry…[Read more]

To me, reasons to not spay a female are very few. I think if you’re in an area where you cannot find a rabbit-experienced vet who is knowledgeable and competent in spays, this is a big barrier, but aside from that, spaying is very positive for both a rabbit and its owner. I’m really sorry to read about your past losses. I am unsure how long ago…[Read more]

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m very sorry for your loss. <3

Hanging a towel or something similar over the bars that he chews can help a lot. Bun Jovi does the same thing in the morning, but the towel helps. Bun Jovi also chews his litter box… I ended up finding this tray that is actually a dish bussing tray, so it’s super thick plastic. He still will chew it but at least doesn’t make much progress on it!…[Read more]

@LBJ10 Sorry it’s confusing lol. Does this link work?

Thinking back, I do remember at first with my sick foster that we had stopped cisapride at one point and he got worse. I think we pretty much tried changing each element of his treatment routine to make sure none of the meds were making it worse. So I think in my guy’s case he just had a yucky tummy (we think he had megacolon/cow pile…[Read more]

There are some litter boxes meant for puppies and cats with limited mobility that have one low side, which might be helpful for him. Also plant potting trays are good litter boxes for buns with limited mobility (they have a similar low side). I got one marketed as one for senior cats when Bertha lost some mobility in her back leg towards the end…[Read more]

Is your girl dominate? My girl is disabled and I bonded her fine with the boy. I just pop him off when he’s humping her and she is trying to run.
Today I caught him humping her again (weird) They’ve been bonded for 6 weeks now.

He was never aggressive to her, no biting, no fights, just humping.

Just have to keep a close eye on them during…[Read more]

Or do you mean the twitch? If you look on his lower back at the bun area the skin twitches. It’s kinda hard to see on video. :/

I think it could be done safely, but would depend on both bun’s personalities and the experience of the bonder. I’ve heard of bonded pairs where one rabbit has a disability, and often that rabbit is very submissive and it works out very well. But you would want to be very careful during bonding to make sure everyone stays safe. If they are…[Read more]

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking in this bunny. 🙂 Yes, that is a good question. Is your female kind and gentle? Or is she cage aggressive and doesn’t like other buns? A bun who doesn’t like others all that much I would say would not be the best of companions for him, and it could stress him and her out. If she is gentle though, I…[Read more]

Oh, I am so sorry! <3 Rabbits are VERY stubborn components, it is hard to win an on-going battle with them, trust me, I’ve been there. Cage-swapping should hopefully make him stop chewing and digging, but, ah… you will have a fifty-fifty chance that he will pee all over there, for it smells of Muffin. *Groans* If only all buns bonded as quickly…[Read more]

I’m not seeing it.

Would a boot-tray work? They are large and shallow, but still have a lip. Hay might get everywhere, but if it’s surrounded with high walls, the hay won’t get pushed out too easily. Both my rabbits love lounging in the black boot tray I have. it is also easy to clean and they open track hay into there (one of their hay feeders is right next to it)…[Read more]

I sat in front petting muffin and pinky and when I was just petting muffin, pinky started chewing his litter box because that’s what’s at the front of the pen now.😭😭😭 I can never win with him… Anything I put there he chews and digs up. I’m just gonna start the cage swapping later today… I’ll see if the space changes his behavio…
