I just want to update this because I’m just screaming on the inside. I’ve kept him between his crate, and outside, those being his “safe” spaces, and the house in general just being a place to get from point A to point B. I’ve fed him in his crate. His crate is “his place”… and have been ever so slowly, ever since… been acclimating him.…[Read more]

So I’m considering getting a single male Holland lop and read that neutering won’t necessarily do much for them since they are not known to be aggressive anyway.

Anyone have experience specifically with unneutered male Holland lops?

I just googled and saw something saying that all parts of the Clover are bunny safe but it can cause gas. If it’s a very small amount it should be ok.

I actually just bought a huge bale from a local co-op, only $23 USD for 100 pounds.

So I got both of mine neutered young but my friend got hers neutered at like 3 years old. Before the neuter he marked a lot around the house, was not as affectionate and generally just wasn’t that well behaved. She said that after the neuter his behavior was much more friendly, he was better about using the litter box and just wasn’t quite as…[Read more]

Okay thanks! So this hay is good for an adult bun? Should I take out the clover when I see it or is it okay for buns to have? There’s about one or two clover flowers/stems per large handful of hay. Is that an okay amount?

Aww thank you 🙂

I don’t have kids so I can’t attest to taking care of a baby and a bunny. However, rabbits are a lot of work. They seem like a quiet pocket pet that doesn’t need much looking after, but the truth is quite the opposite. There’s a lot of cleaning involved, they need hours of playtime each day, the area they have access to has to be bunny proofed. If…[Read more]

You never know how bad your bun will get until it happens, but lots of of unneutered males turn into pooping and peeing tornadoes (literally they will twist in midair spraying urine all around them), territorial aggression is common as well. As has been said, neutering is done to curb hormonal behaviors, for the purpose of bonding and to reduce…[Read more]

My friend was given a male rabbit from her parents when she was younger, and unfortunately hasn’t been able to get him neutered yet (she is saving up though). Her rabbit has a severe issue with spraying, and sprays constantly. He also has issues with various types of agression (he can be both food agressive and cage agressive). His litter box h…[Read more]

I’m so very sorry. Binky free, sweet bun.

I know this is hard to except when they are gone. It’s hard to break out of the intense mode you’ve been in the past few weeks nursing her & worrying. I find it does help some to try remember the healthy years rather then the short weeks or days of illness. But it can take some time for those happi…[Read more]

It is very common for rabbits to go through a period of exaggerated hormonal behavior post spay/neuter. Hormonal behaviours like pee- and poopmarking, territoriality and aggression can be seen for quite some time after, especially in girl rabbits.

The important thing is to differentiate this normal spay aftermath from aggression that is due to…[Read more]

Thank you 😊

There’s absolutely a seed head to the right in the first pic, you also see the “knuckles” on a few of the stalks. Both those things are typical of grasses. There is a clover flower obviously, but if its just a little bit of clover mixed in, it’s not a problem.

I’m so very sorry. Dont blame yourself. It was her time to go, you did all that could possibly be done.

It is very hard to lose a bun. They are our babies, as you say. 💔

I had pets when I was in college and grad school. I always had time to spend with them. Bunnies are great because they just enjoy having you nearby, so you can spend time with them while studying, etc. I understand though, sometimes you just feel overwhelmed with the idea juggling all these things.

I did want to mention that it is generally not…[Read more]

Young, unneutered males are little balls of hormones when puberty kicks in. The “severity” of their behavior can vary between individuals… but you won’t know what you’ve got until they reach a certain age. They will eventually calm down with age (1-2 years), but that doesn’t mean the hormonal behaviors will completely disappear. There are people…[Read more]

I definitely recommend adopting if you can. Baby bunnies are cute and all. But baby bunnies are also like a box of chocolates. 😉 Plus, there is the stress (on you) and cost of spaying/neutering when they get older. There isn’t a rabbit rescue where I live, but our local humane society has a few rabbits on a regular basis. Most are only a year or…[Read more]

I wouldn’t suggest getting a rabbit from a pet store. The mills they often come from are awful, and not only are you supporting that, but there are also a ton of behavioural issues that go along with coming from that kind of place. I definitely would suggest adopting from a shelter or rescue, as they will often come already spayed/neutered (…[Read more]
