I agree with using a large ceramic tile to cover up the dig spots. Sometimes all they need is something heavy placed there to help them “forget” about the spot. Most bunnies simply pull up the carpet fibers and spit them out. But you do want to keep an eye out for evidence that something was actually consumed.

Default question – Is he neutered?

Some bunnies just take a really long time to warm up to people. It seems age mellows them.

If he has carpet in his pen or primary living space, it might be a good idea to get…[Read more]

I stopped Oxbow treats altogether and instead get treats from an Etsy shop called Made by Mokes. They make treats with zero filler ingredients (like oat flo…[Read more]

It’s important to remember that he is extremely hormonal and WILL mark. It is simply biology. Jellybean marked on everything before he was neutered – I invested in waterproof blankets to put on couch/bed/anything I didn’t want soaked in pee. He began spraying pee right before getting neutered – I was sprayed in the face before lol. this may sta…[Read more]
