Haha that’s good! Sometimes they just need some time to adjust to new spaces. You could also try making the new space smaller if they act up again. Sometimes too much space too fast can cause issues.

Agree with S&L, and just wanted to add you should probably mention the blood thing to the vet, in case it has something to do with her recent spay. Injuries can be well hidden by fur so you might check them over one more time. Where there clumps of fur around?

And are you very certain it was blood and not dark urine?

I know you mentioned you were afraid of sludge a while ago, so the straining to urinate is worrisome. But good she peed overnight.

What is her current diet? Is she still not eating hay?

I feel like she would benefit from a hay only diet for a few days if she is eating hay, because I feel like these ongoing issues are probably tied to her diet.…[Read more]

I feed the Timothy only version, just a scant 1 tablespoon a day.

I used to feed Oxbow adult essentials for many many years. I didn’t really have a super strong reason for switching, just thought I would give it a shot because the ingredients looked good. My kids only get 1 Tablespoon each (or a bit less), once a day. I did the transition very…[Read more]

That’s good, hoping she continues to improve!

This is not fair. You are going to have a duo before I have a trio! 😛 😆 (OB, Smokey, Silver, listen up, we need to beat Lola and Louie at bonding… 😆 ) This is great progress! I’m so happy for you! 🙂 One of the easiest bonds I’ve ever heard of! They will make a great pair. 🙂

Hehe. He’s a little smaller than expected but he’s perfect nonetheless 😛

I just checked and amazon still only has the timothy :(. I guess I’m not going to feed all that much so I’d only have to order every few months. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy some more toys as well 😉

I second getting spayed as soon as possible, false pregnancies are NOT fun, I’ve been there and done that. 🙄 I think right now though, she is too young to be spayed, so you still have a while yet.

One way too show that behavior is undesirable is to give them a little spray from a squirt bottle, but since she’s young and so full of energy, I…[Read more]

Both his parents were 4-5 lbs so I don’t know what happened lol.

I saw the blue (Timothy/alfalfa) on amazon yesterday! I am not sure where you are from so amazon might be different for you.

I don’t have carpet, but my rabbits like to dig at certain corners of their xpen mats, so I just plop a ceramic tile and they stop digging AND get a cool spot to chill out on when it’s warm.

Well, now she’s pouting because I said she couldn’t eat carpet. How dare I!

Thanks all! Yesterday evening she started to perk up and eat more. She actually ate all of her pellets overnight, which is great! So far today she has been very sleepy, only eating some hay and not her morning pellets. But she’s been through a lot and it will take her awhile to get back to usual.

I’m not sure about the dew laps, however, you should stay as soon as possible. Female rabbits have an extremely high cancer risk if unspayed. Female rabbits might have false pregnancies if unspayed which might cause a dewlap, but I’m not sure. To tell my rabbits no, I say a loud NO, and try o redirect them to a different activity. She’s proba…[Read more]

I recommend the HairBuster, especially because you have short haired rabbits. It works great on my two bunnies. It can feel a little rough if you pull too hard, so at first it may take a little while to get used to the way it works but I overall recommend. I also do some hand pulling for looser tufts of hair.

Last night, (our second overnight) I blocked off part of the room and they played together and hung out a bit but I plan to block off more tonight. Today I put them in a dog crate together, and Louie flopped right next to her, I’ll insert a picture.
