@HipHopBunny Thanks for the encouragement. 😓 I know I’m jealous of Louie and Lola too… I just swapped them and he was chinning some stuff in Muffins pen. Still chewed and dug at the front ughhh. I did put a towel over it just now. I’ll see if that works… I’ve tried putting chew toys there but he digs them away and they fly under him lol. I do…[Read more]

PDTB — Has this been happening since you have become a member or just started, and if it has been recently, can you give an guestimate about when it started?

Thank you all so much for your replies. I love her so much, and she’s already bonded to Tippy (my other spayed female), but I have noticed behavioral things like false pregnancies (building nests frantically and such). Tippy also tries to mount Mary Hoppins from time to time, I guess to show dominance? But for the most part they’re really loving…[Read more]

I am refusing to believe it is not summer! 😆

I didn’t see DanaNM, and Wick’s post before I posted, sorry for the repetition! 😆

I’m so sorry you have lost buns to spay. 😥 My heart goes out to you.

Spaying is definitely a good thing for rabbits. Females have an 80% chance of uterine cancer and are susceptible to false pregnancies. My three ladies had those before spay, and they were so stressed out, and oh, so hormonal. 🙁 Spaying has made them happier and healthier…[Read more]

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]
