Thank you for your advice!

She is in a room that my boyfriend and I are in frequently, but I’ll make sure to spend more time with her in the morning to see if that helps.

She doesn’t really care about grass mats, but I got her a basket that she likes to chew on. She has a tube tunnel and a couple of other things to hide in and run through, too.…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice! My Louie has actually started jumping out, hence the top. We tried everything but he was still jumping right out, and because he pees on my bed when I’m gone, we put a top on and then put some cardboard and a sheet on top of the metal top and it functions as a high up resting point for them as well. I’ve tossed the mat tha…[Read more]

Congratulations on your bonded bunnies!

I think more litter trays is always helpful! If you find they’re not using one you can always remove it further down the line but it’s better to have more and prevent bickering.

One large water bowl should be fine. If they share food bowls then again, one is probably fine but there’s no harm in offer…[Read more]

Firstly, this is going to sound very childish, but yaaaaaaaaaaaay! 😀 That is amazing! How long did it take you to bond them? Two weeks? They are going to be an amazing pair! 😀

1: Two litter boxes spread out around the room for the free-roam time could be nice, making sure that there are no accidents, but for the x-pen, I think you would only…[Read more]

@Hazel

Thank you so much for this advice! This is pretty much what all my friends are saying, as well.

Unfortunately until the previous roommate moves out and I move into her room (hardwood floors), I can’t bring him into our house. (My room is carpeted.)

But he has been outside for 4 months already, so I am just going to cross my fingers that…[Read more]

@dove

Hmm, you have posted pics of her before? Is this something that has popped up recently not allowing you to? Adding them in your profile, clicking add media, etc? Maybe you could contact a forum leader and ask? I’m not the savviest with pic posting, but I manage somehow. Hopefully, you figure it out, for that bunny is darn cute and I can’t…[Read more]

@Rusti

Is there a way you could bring them inside? House buns tend to form better bonds with their owners, plus they have better conditions. It is very good though how you are closely monitoring how much water they are drinking, that is good. 🙂

If there is no way you can bring them inside, then a cooling tip is frozen water bottles, and fans…[Read more]

@HipHopBunny i’d love to post pics but it won’t let me put them in replies unfortunately…. so many cute ones though! like when she hopped up into my lap or when she was doing a flop…

@HipHopBunny

No binkies yet but tons of flops. I definitely will be sharing some pictures, I’ve had her for three months and I think I have over 200 pictures of her already. She’s just too cute, I can’t resist!

@DanaNM

Right? I think she already thinks she owns everything in my room 😁

Teddy is so like my Vilde, they could be brothers 😃

Ok, thank you!

6 to 8 weeks is the usual range, but 8wo is typically what we see most often.

Water bottles, while widely advertised, are actually not the best for rabbits. There have been studies that show that rabbits drink less water from a bottle than they do when given a water bowl. This is because it takes effort to drink water from the water bottle —…[Read more]

They are outside. I noticed them breathing rapidly as the day reached 90°F yesterday, so I brought them in until it cooled down in the evening. Thank you for the feedback. I’ll  continue to keep them inside while the weather is hot.

Hmm, are they outside? If they are outside, they can get heat-lazy and not drink much water, if so, I would recommend bringing them inside to cool off and be overall more healthy and happy. 🙂 If they are inside, I don’t know what else it could be. Just thought I would ask that question for that was my first thought.

Another day, some more bonding! Today I did the same dog crate session, and a lot more grooming from Louie! Yay! They also sat together and cuddled but no flopping. I’m going to do more larger space sessions as well, yay for more progress!

I would have them living by each other side by side with the enclosures mirroring each other, so they can see each other while they do whatever they’re doing, then start pre bonding (cage swaps, toy swaps, etc) after at least a week. After some pre bonding, you can start regular bonding sessions. This way, they can slowly get used to being a…[Read more]

That’s great news!!!!
