She also might not drink very much because she isn’t a great hay eater. Hopefully with more hay she will drink more water. And putting a tiny amount of juice to get her to drink is probably OK, especially with the sludge concerns. You might also try making mint or hay tea for her.

That’s good to know. Does anyone know of anything else I can put in her water that is healthy? I put a little juice in her water again yesterday (before I found out it was bad) and she drank it all again.   Maybe I will soak some strawberries or cucumbers in it overnight so it gets the flavor without all the sugar.

So far there still isn’t any…[Read more]

I don’t think I can get any stranger, LB, but I’ll try!

They look fine! Romaine hearts are crunchy too, so I bet your rabbits will enjoy them.

@princedorian: I kno you mentioned you are in the PNW as well, not sure exactly where, because it’s a very large area, however I know there are a lot of smaller rescues in the Puget Sound area that are not as widely known as the larger shelters. I joined a Facebook group for the PNW, and I found many smaller rescues in the general area. They…[Read more]

I agree with @DanaNM, keep doing what you are doing, and they will figure out the hierarchy. I’m curious, in previous topics you have talked about bonding all four of your buns, but now you are doing two, have you decided not to go for a quad? Are you going to do two sets of two? Whichever way you choose I am sure will go great, you know your buns…[Read more]

Oh yes I have a spayed female and neutered male that live together.  The boy has not been near this bunny yet.

If you find you are not refilling her water often, that’s a good indicator that she is not drinking a lot. Getting water from veggies can be a cause as well. I have two rabbits who have very different levels of water consumption, so it’s hard to provide what you should be looking for.

Hydration can be really important to ensure things the body is…[Read more]

It may say no sugar added, but they get around this by using apple and grape juice as sweeteners, so it is still very high sugar. Straight cranberry juice is so tart that you wouldn’t enjoy drinking it straight.

Since you have only been doing sessions less than a week, I would say just keep doing what you are doing and be patient. It sounds like they are communicating without fighting, so you are on the right track.

@Louiethebunny I hope it goes super smooth! Can’t wait to see more pics!!  & we will try speed dating once that’s an option with out having to drive really far, both the shelter and vet were very hesitant about Dorian bonding when I asked, so we will see.

@ThorBunny That’s a good idea tho. I’ll look into it once I know my buns aren’t going to be peeing everywhere lol. Thanks!

@ThorBunny Oh good! Thanks! Yeah I was thinking about that lol. We feed my cats at about the same times everyday but they still bug us hours before their dinner! And meow in the hallway in the morning until someone feeds them lol. I wonder if the buns will be like this. 😆

For Thor’s area, we went to a carpet store and purchased a carpet remnant (cutoffs from other installations). It’s much cheaper than buying a new rug. We put blankets and towels over the carpet, and wash those every week or so.

Not sure if it will work if you’re expecting lots of accidents. There are good cleaning products like Nature’s Miracle,…[Read more]

Yes I agree with Wick that you don’t have to worry too much as long as they always have access to hay and water!

I feed pellets in the morning, and greens at night. Usually those are at 7am and 7pm, but if we’re out to dinner or with friends at night the greens can bee much later/earlier and same with the pellets for wakeup time. They adapt…[Read more]

I’m not good with rabbit breeds unfortunately. I am curious — is your female spayed? There are cases of impregnation through cage bars.
