Have you played with people names with ties to “white” & “grey”?

Albin & Ash

Finn & Farran

@DanaNM Oh what cuties! You need to get them all! I could not work where you are working, …cause I would end up buying all of the rabbits 😆 You do great work there, I thank you on behalf of all of those buns who you help daily. 🙂

(p.s. YOU NEED TO GET SVEN 😉 )

It sounds like the combo of poor diet and the move might have triggered a bit of gut slowdown. For now it’s important to keep her eating and pooping, and then work on gradually improving her diet. How are her poops and appetite now?

If there are veggies that she’s familiar with, keep offering those to keep her hydrated and keep her gut moving a…[Read more]

I assume he doesn’t have any parasites that may prevent him from putting on weight. From the pictures, he looks lean… but not necessarily underweight. It’s hard to tell with his fur. Young rabbits can be pretty lean until they reach full size, at which time they will fill out a bit.

I agree with keeping his alfalfa intake up. That should help…[Read more]

@Thorbunny Thor looks so cute and polite! She looks like a receptionist: “How may I help you today?”

We have a ton of new bunnies at the shelter right now, managed to sneak in some socializing/pictures today in between chores:

Here’s Sven, who I shared in another thread, because he is so handsome:

And Sven again with Marigold jealously…[Read more]

@DanaNM You HAVE to get him! He is adorable, he seems as though he is easy to bond if you don’t get him, I just might track him down and get him myself! Definitely get him! 😀

This thread has moved on a bit, but as promised, here are some pics of “Sven” (lol), @Hazel

He is maybe not quite a Smoke Pearl but he sure is handsome!

OMG he is so cute and tiny! Congrats!

What have you done so far to try bonding with them? And can you describe their housing set-up a bit more? Can you also describe your home environment a bit more (children, other pets, etc.)?

I agree with Hazel that holding and catching should only be when needed (like for nail trims, vet visits, deep grooming, etc.), not a regular occurrence.

I want to provide an update here, in case it’s ever useful for anyone else in a situation like this. maybe it’ll provide perspective to someone else or give them hope instead of giving up on their rabbit. sorry it’s long i guess i am just being thorough. if you’re having this problem and you stumble on this thread, hope you’ll read the whole thing…[Read more]

I just learned it last year when Bun Jovi went into stasis! It is not perfect but it was helpful for me!

OK hopefully that will help! You can also give bunnies oat groats to help put on weight, but this usually isn’t for young growing bunnies. So I think first I would try to increase alfalfa as much as possible and start tracking her weight. As for how many oats, I would start with a small amount, maybe 1/2 a teaspoon and see how that goes?

Congrats, yay! Those huge eyes are adorable!

Yay!!!

@Hazel Oscar pics please for sure!! Risk the thumps 😉

Dorian thanks everyone for the compliments, especially nice to hear as his hoomins have been calling him a little derpy bun (he had his tongue out for a bit too, though I couldn’t get a pic of that) and he likes handsome so much better!
