Woah 8 months!!
Loofah is checking back into the very tomorrow and will be neutered then if all okay.
Just a note, I worked really hard hard to train Loofah and he seemed to learn after the last round of comments from you (about a month ago). He even stopped peeing on my bed and everything.
Recently I moved flats with him and he has untrained…[Read more]

Agreed. This is very normal behavior between intact, unbonded rabbits and won’t change until they have been neutered.

prince dorian the bun replied to the topic how to get rabbit to stop peeing/pooping in bed in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 2 months ago
sounds like my couch issue, I sadly have no great advice, I have just made it off limits until I figure it out, used a x-pen like a fence. You could toss a tarp or plastic shower curtain liner over your bed, he probably won’t like the feel of it on his feet and if and accident happens easy clean up.
Hopefully someone has figured this out and can help us!

DanaNM replied to the topic Boredom Buster's? in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 2 months ago
What type of space is she in the other 22 hours per day? Or is most of the day in the 1000 sq ft space?
2 hours per day is not enough if she is in a much smaller area the rest of the day. But I may be interpreting things wrong so please correct me if that’s the case!
If she is alone and not interacting with you for those 22 hours a day, she is…[Read more]

The photo issue is being worked on and has to do with the site still being under construction. The way members have been able to get around it is to add photos to your profile, and then when you go to add media the photo should be available to insert into your post.

Are they neutered?
It sounds like they are entering puberty, and marking will continue until you get them neutered.

Susanne replied to the topic Bonding stages in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
So far, still good. It doesn’t appear they are trying to stake out any of the areas and still peaceful. Maybe starting their dates in a different place then riding home together in the carrier gave them some kind of different mindset than a typical situation. I’ve not really read about a situation exactly like this so I’m checking on them all t…[Read more]

I think you are entering the Pee Wars! This happens when rabbits are territorial, or when a new rabbit enters their territory. Do both get along okay? My rabbits who were doing the pee wars at one point didn’t get along to well, except in neutral territory, although there was still pee. Maybe you could try bonding them? There is a bonding section…[Read more]

Hello! Fairly new bunny owners. Daughter has had a male mini Rex since March and he’s done fairly well. He’s in a pen in our garage, she gets him out regularly, etc. She has him for a 4H project. About a month ago we got another only couple months old who is also male. We started noticing the new one was peeing out the front corner of cage, not…[Read more]

@ louiethebunny I have made 3 hay feeders one from a tissue box another from a paper bag and one from a toilet paper tube! I stuffed a little alfalfa hay and some papaya and some bunny cookies into the bag. She seems to really like it I.😀am working on the pic it will be posted today!

DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding stages in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
Sounds good, just be careful giving them too much space too quickly, especially if it’s not neutral. Scuffles can occur and set things back. You also want to be careful of them trying to reclaim their own spaces and staking out separate territories. She might not want to groom him back until he stops trying to mount her.

Trixieandcookies replied to the topic Boredom Buster's? in the forum THE LOUNGE 6 years, 2 months ago
@danaNM she gets a lot of space to roam in about 1,000 square feet? Maybe more. She gets out for at least 2 hours a day or more. But usually just 2 hours seems enough because after that she will sleep all day. She is not really bored… Just maybe when she comes out to play? She does do a lot of binkys and zoomies and races,digs and jumps over her…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic best litter in the uk in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 2 months ago
Pine shavings are not safe for bunnies. The aromatic oils in the pine can be hard of the bun’s respiratory systems and can cause problems if the bun ever needs to go under anesthesia (something to do with the liver…). Aspen shavings are safe though, but are more expensive.
Pine pellets (on the other hand) are safe because they have been heat…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Cottontail visitor – lights?? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 2 months ago
Lights at night are not really what rabbits are interested in. If there is extra light they can see predators better, but they also become more visible themselves to predators, which is part of the reason why rabbits are crepuscular (crepuscular means most active at dusk and dawn).
It’s very sweet of you though, to want to help the wild buns!…[Read more]

Hi GregHouse81! 🙂
I don’t think you need to leave the lights on, rabbits have a very keen sense of smell and have very sharp hearing, so he would probably be able to sense a predator. 🙂

Agree with Hazel. I thought you were talking like a 6-7 month old bun 😂 most buns transition off alfalfa pellets and hay around 6 months.

Hazel replied to the topic Rabbit hooked on alfalfa in the forum DIET & CARE 6 years, 2 months ago
She’s still very young, you don’t have to wean her off of it for another 2-3 months, or until she stops growing.
