Activity

In the past I would keep the litter box very clean, and then stalk them and wait till they are in the litter box eating. Usually a bun will make a little pile of poops and you can grab some right when they move away so you know which bun they came from. Temporarily separating them with a barrier would also work!

Adding something like a yoga mat, a towel, or carpet could help!

Scattering some treats going up the ramp and on the second level might also encourage her to explore a bit.

It’s made of wood and like this rough sandpapery type stuff. Would it be better to put pieces of a yoga mat on it?

I’ve never had this problem before. My other bunny that passed 3 years ago ran up and down hers from the start without a problem and it was made of the same stuff. Of course she was like fearless.

It may also depend on what the ramp is made of. Bunnies prefer surfaces where they have traction.

I’m so sorry you lost your little one. You did all that could be done for him. The video is lovely. The picture is lovely too, it’s just a little sad because he didnt get to be there to enjoy the feast 💔

Rabbits do often scream during the agonal phase. It’s deeply upsetting, to say the least. This is an instinct or “automated” reaction and we…[Read more]

Depending on your bun…

I just picked my buns up and put them on it. They sat there for a while and then explored and came down. Afterward, since they had already been up, they had no issues going up and down themselves. Prior to that, it was literally months without going up.
