OMG!!! I’m so excited for you, bunnies are the best! Thank you for the help I will definitely try that out. I normally brush them on my bathroom counter so they aren’t super squirmy but every now and then you can see them plotting their escape 😆

Oh yeah! 2 days is nothing, hopefully she will calm down. I think holding the kitten and letting bun come out and sniff on her own terms might be helpful too.

I support experimenting with different sizes of space, physical locations, and levels of stress, since different things work better for different bunnies.

Have you heard of using a stuffy/surrogate with bonding? The idea is you get one rabbits scent all over a toy stuffed bunny, then put it in the other bun’s enclosure. You can even do this as…[Read more]

Yes I wish you the best of luck on your trio! I’ve heard of some very easy bonds with girls. And of course a whole new place should definitely help. Ive just never dealt with a bun whose fight instinct is so high. (Flight or fight and velvet definitely fights) I’m not to sure how to get past it but keeping ziggy in the clear. When i was doing…[Read more]

That helps me feel better. I would feel awful if they could not come exist. We have only had the kitten 2 days. The kitten has just shown interest. Like will look in her pen but if he comes too close she starts circling the cage and thumping. I haven’t had my bun out of her cage while they were in the same room after her initial reaction (he w…[Read more]

Thanks! These are helpful

Hello and most welcome, Lola! You are stunning!

Poor Ziggy. 🙁  And that makes sense with the girls. I’m anxiously anticipating when I finally start working on my trio, because I know the girls are going to be the hard part. I’m hoping that going to a totally neutral space will be helpful with mine, because Myra is for sure being a bit territorial.

That’s stressful. 🙁 I’ve had a few foster bunnies that freaked out over my cat, whereas other’s don’t mind at all. How long have you had the kitten? More time might be the best solution, as even the buns I fostered that initially were very afraid of my cat eventually got used to him. I think short term, best is to help keep the kitten away from…[Read more]

Hmmm maybe very broad, shallow bowl?

Or can you trim his chin fur to help keep it clean?

It has been about 48 hours since Hunny’s dentist appointment. My girl has now had two doses of orbifloxacin, and I don’t notice any side-effects yet, but I still worry. In the time since her appointment, Hunny has gone from eating four tablespoons of pellets a day (remember, all she can eat is soaked pellets) to only the occasional bite. My girl’s…[Read more]

I agree with everything everyone has said. My bun was begging to come out of his cage as soon as I put him in it for the first time! He just started hopping around my room as soon as I let him out of the box we brought him home in lol. If your bun has an outgoing personality and doesn’t seem scared I would say it’s ok to let him have some free roa…[Read more]

Definitely sounds like puberty. My bun has actually started doing kinda the same thing. He started being able to jump on my bed and always ends up peeing on it. The biggest problem though is that he’s afraid to jump down so if I’m away for a long time he gets stranded up there!

What I tried first is to kinda build a barrier around the edge of my…[Read more]

HRS has a few resources on rabbit + cat relations. I know getting a livable bond between cats and rabbits is possible, and I also know there needs to be an understanding that there are circumstances where it just might not work.

Maybe a taller bowl so not all the fur goes into it? Or if you’re home a lot you could wipe his chin after he drinks. Or, if you think it would help you could try trimming the fur on his chin.

I haven’t brushed a bunny before (I get mine on Sunday) but my cats sometimes get mats on their backs because they aren’t good at washing back there. I use something similar to a flea comb (which I think is the same thing as a hair buster but without the rubber pieces). Just make sure you hold the top of the hair/mat above where you’re combi…[Read more]
