It’s very normal for a rabbit’s “baby fur” to grow out and be replaced by adult fur. Most kits have lighter, fluffier coats, which are replaced with sometimes darker, smoother, and more colored fur. Some rabbits change fur colors during seasonal molts, so there is a chance his fur might still return to his more blond color, but it also may never…[Read more]

Thank you! I just want to make sure my bunnies are safe and I don’t want to do anything that could harm them. I’m picking them up from the animal rescue in a few weeks and it’s my first time taking care of rabbits. 🙂 I’m so excited.

I would think it’s OK if you peel off the portion that has ink. Similar to ink on a piece of paper, the ink is only printed on the surface layer, so as long as that’s gone, it should be fine! That being said, if a little bit is ingested, it’s usually not that big of a deal, health-wise.

@DanaNM, What? 👿 That is so un-humane!!! ALL 10 bunnies crammed in a trash can? Poor, poor, poor bunnies. 😥 It is a blessing for them that they are at your rescue now, though. 🙂

In one of my online rabbit groups someone posted an alert about someone giving away free bunnies at a garage sale… I couldn’t go to see if I could help, but some others did, so that’s good.

@Hazel That just about describes their bonding 😆 LoL. Yesterday there was no pee, too! 🙂 It is definitely going in a more positive direction now. Fingers crossed for a trio soon!

@Reesebun WOW! That is an AMAZING pen you made! Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled buns! 🙂 

@Moonlightbunny66 Thank you! They were getting comfortable. 🙂

I will get some this week! His name is Sven, lol. He just came out of quarantine the day of my shift last week, and we had a ton of new bunnies and guinea pigs so I didn’t really have anytime for playing with the buns. Then the next day someone dropped off 10 rabbits in a trash can…. WTH is wrong with people?? >:(

Wow @Reesebun ! That looks so professional and lovely for the buns! I end up sticking with the NIC method because I know if I tried something like that it would look a shambles. I have a joke with my husband that if I ever had my own Etsy shop it would be called “Felt, Hot-glue, and Sadness” because all of my crafts always end up looking very……[Read more]

I also think it would be doable to finish up bonding the pair that you were previously working on that you mentioned was almost bonded. Then at least you would have 3 set-ups to tend to vs. 4.

I think your bun will go back to relaxing 9n your bed like he used too

It is a relaxed, comfy position that is not sexually driven. Old bunnies as well as young bunnies relax in that way.

The nearest couple of weeks after the neuter there is a lot going on in the rabbit body. As the others have said, there are still circulating hormones in the…[Read more]

So do you only have three weeks until you start school again? That seems ambitious to finish bonding a quad. It could be possible… but with a bond that new I would want to make sure I had lots of time to supervise once they were together, so that would stress me out. In my experience when a bonding is being pushing by anxiety that translates to…[Read more]

Different rabbits respond to stress differently. Overgrooming/plucking is a coping mechanism for some rabbits. They get stressed out, they start pulling their own fur out. Stress can be caused by things that we might not notice, like unusual sounds (construction, etc.).

If it isn’t stress-related, then it could be something causing the skin to…[Read more]

ok thank you! this helped me a lot 🙂

Could be habitual overgrooming, has he been stressed lately? It could also be an issue with parasites. Fleas and mites often use the hind end as a “safe spot”.

He does not live with another rabbit. He’s a little over a year old and was neutered so he is definitely a male.

@HipHopBunny : I don’t feel like they’re putting any effort into those bonding sessions anymore, they’re just hanging out… 😆

@Reesebun : Wow, that looks great, no wonder the buns love it. I’m not handy enough to make anything half as good, nice job! 🙂
