Dana – That’s true about pain medication. Metacam is usually favored to be sweet and most bunnies will eat it willingly… some even get a bit greedy about it! Antibiotics are always what gave me trouble. I think the flavoring just doesn’t cover up the yucky antibiotic taste enough. Some are worse than others. There was one that was really bad and…[Read more]

Right now we are at 36 hours. Since no fighting I am going to sleep with them in the room again. I work at home and hope to be able to stay in at least another day or 2 but then will need to venture out.
Seems like they are stuck, but then I’ll see a small improvement but very very slow 🙂 The girl was pooping all over the closet and peeing near…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Help! Bun peeing on me when on couch. in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 2 months ago
Couches do tend to smell very strongly of humans so they seem to be a problem for some buns.
I’ve seen these couch protectors that I think are meant for dogs. I wonder if something like that might help? Both with blocking the triggering smells and making clean up easier?

She sounds a lot like my Myra. She is very big on booping me and nudging, which usually means I’m in her way, or she is inquiring about the availability of treats. 🙂
We’ve only had her a few months and she also only likes pets when she’s already laying down, but she’s getting more happy with them every day. So just keep at it. 🙂

Don’t feel discouraged! Shy bunnies can take a while to enjoy pets. My advice is to play hard to get! It sounds weird but it works. 🙂 I’ve found when I try to pet while giving treats they are just concerned with getting the treat. I’ve found they are most likely to accept a pet when they are already relaxed. Spend lots of time on the floor with…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding stages in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
How long have they been together currently?
It isn’t safe to leave them unsupervised until you are very sure they are bonded. After they seem bonded, then you want to wait 24-48 hours because changing anything or leaving them unsupervised. To me it sounds like they are getting there but not quite, since you mention it doesn’t seem like they’ve…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic What’s “normal” bonded rabbit behavior? in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
Hi there 🙂
So not all pairs are glued at the hip, but you should see at least some cuddling, mutual grooming, litter box sharing, and food sharing. Light nips (no fur pulled) to get the other to move are totally normal and how they communicate.
My pairs over the years have varied in closeness. Some were inseparable, others more independent. My…[Read more]

I completely understand the feeling. But don’t get discouraged! Some bun’s take time. Here are some relaxing tips that might help forge a bond: Rabbit’s like calm music, like soft piano, or meditation (when I play it for my bun’s they will sit, listen, and relax) maybe you could do this and while she is meditating, slowly reach over and give her a…[Read more]

My bun is 6 months. I adopted her about a month and a half ago. She’s pretty social: always hoping around, will check out us, and even my toddler (we give treats). She doesn’t seem to like being petted. I’ve been slowly trying to pet her when she gets a treat but she’s always moving her head or flinching. Her back seems ok but doesn’t seem like…[Read more]

ThorBunny- Your bunny is ADORABLE!!!! 😀 My fingers are crossed for an easy bond, they did well today, all of them grooming each other, will see how it goes 🙂 I hope you find some bun for your Thor!

So many cute July buns! Tybalt and Jersey, I love when buns use pillows to sleep, and those pictures definitely make me want to get another bun 🙂 Thor’s a real drama queen though, not sure if she will ever take to a bond…
Meg, such cute flops!
HipHopBunny – good luck with the bonding, a trio of girls would be so great 🙂
Here’s some July…[Read more]

Definitely don’t worry! You are doing everything you can and now it’s just up to Dixie as to when she is comfortable with you. Wilbur was like Dixie and didn’t really approach me for awhile, but now he won’t leave me alone! As she is with you longer your connection will get stronger. Don’t worry! Once her nerves settle she will love you to death!

Bam replied to the topic Is Red/Black pee an emergency…??? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 2 months ago
If this occurs again, please take a picture! If it doesn’t occur again, its most likely not sth to worry about. I have seen fairly light orange pee oxidise into a very dark red within say 20 minutes to half an hour, and the dark red did look scary – if I hadn’t seen the puddle as it originally looked.
To test if there’s blood in the urine, you…[Read more]

Thanks @Trixieandcookies , appreciate the support! If he keeps being a little bugger we will just have a fenced off couch, not my ideal, but it is what it is. The things we do for our buns!! 😀

Littlemouse93 started the topic What’s “normal” bonded rabbit behavior? in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
This is probably a loaded question, but what’s considered normal bonded rabbit behavior? Are they snuggling/grooming each other all the time and inseparable? Or is it also normal for bonded rabbits to be independent form each other, but coexist peacefully?
I have 2 6-month old female rabbits who I got as litter mates. They were spayed 5+ weeks a…[Read more]
