Pine pellets/ horse stall pellets are fine and awesome, hah! I should be a spokesperson for pine pellets at this point, recommend them to everyone who asks about litter on this forum.

Untreated pine lumber is also fine to use for pens, but actually I think building something out of wood might end up being more expensive than x-pens. If you buy…[Read more]

I had the same thought as LBJ10, possibly just poop in the digestive tract? Things can feel a bit lumpy in there, the cecum especially is a huge organ that can feel odd at times. My understanding of tumors is that they do not move. Are you ever able to see the peristalsis of his gut when he’s laying down? Sometimes after a big meal you can see the…[Read more]

Dorian’s first couple molts were as you described, and now we are in his summer molt… which seems to be lasting all summer and actually has been heavier. Even then it’s not hugely dramatic, no huge piles of fluff other than the first few days. He has a demarcation line but it’s pretty subtle. Granted he makes up for it by being hugely dramatic…[Read more]

Definitely allow some settle-in time, where both rabbits can just adjust to their new setup, forcing them into bonding sessions right away can cause to much stress. Some pre-bonding can also help the bonding process, things like switching xpens, sharing toys, etc.

Two months isn’t much as I’ve heard. I’ve also had my rabbit about 2 1/2 months, I got him mid-May, and sometimes I feel like he doesn’t like me that much either. I try to spend as much of my time with Louie as I can, so during the time when I’m in our room and he’s out of his xpen, I lay on the ground and watch a show, watch videos, etc. He…[Read more]

@Hazel – yes that’s them!

Just a heads up, you might need to further restrict your rabbits’ space if they get itchy and want to scratch their stitches, some rabbits try to scratch their healing area.

Happy is a baby boy.

The tumors are always moving around, those don’t shift from right side to the left but the whenever I touch then to feel the size those move.

I would not allow them out in the free-roam space at the same time until much later in the bonding process. It is highly recommended that you do not try letting them loose in a territory-ripe free-roam space until they can get along well long-term in a neutral space (probably a bathroom). They will need to take turns in the common space.…[Read more]

Thank you! I didn’t think so but was hoping haha so much bun has escaped the living room and been in our spare room which I was thinking of having the neutral area. Will that still work even if she has been in it before?

Thank you to both of you for the help! I will ask more questions if I need to. 🙂

Hi @Skybun

No, they should not be in the same play area at the same time. They can both go in at different times, but if they are in it together there could be fights. The play area could be considered ‘semi-neutral territory’, which you could do bonding sessions in after they have done good in neutral territory for a while. Buns are very…[Read more]

I agree with @DanaNM petting your buns should help them calm down, too. 🙂

I don’t think you should let them out of their pen for the first two weeks after neuter.

Good wishes to you! 🙂

Are these bumps always in the same spot? I’m wondering if they are just poop. Particularly the ones you’re feeling on the side, just beneath the rib cage.
