Haha he can be half alien for all i care, i just want my lil bundle of joy to be happy and healthy 🙂 but yes, i suppose i shouldn’t be surprised at the misgendering. It’s not that i even care what gender he is, i’m just one of those annoying people that NEED to know everything and the not knowing is what’s bugging me!

I knew he’d test my patien…[Read more]

Well, there’s always the possibility that Tybalt is a girl. 😉 This is extremely common around here because tiny babies are difficult to sex correctly. They are easier to identify once they get older because the genitalia starts to look different. And, of course, if testicles make an appearance then there is no mistaking that!

You will get an…[Read more]

That sounds very positive! Some bonded pairs do mount, and as long as it doesn’t lead to any aggression or stress in the mounted rabbit it ok!

Haha! That’s the “larger” space? LOL I don’t want to see the smaller one!

Looks to be going well though!

Bun Jovi seems to almost constantly have “angry eyebrows” from a molt line, especially this time of year!

Agree with Wick 100%. Their hormonal changes after spay/neuter likely triggered the fighting, which is very common when rabbits are together as babies (check out the pinned post called “Why are my rabbits fighting!?”). This can be due to puberty hitting, or hormonal fluctuations post-castration. As Wick mentioned, babies don’t form true bonds, and…[Read more]

The middle picture looks like regular red colored urine. Dandelions contain red pigments (beta carotene). But before, you said her urine was clear-ish with red streaks in it? Typically, this is a symptom of uterine cancer or an infection in the uterus. Since Lola is spayed, we can rule that out. The next thing would be something wrong with her…[Read more]

@talesOfTybalt Exactly! I mean how could we not invite him to family dinner, he’s family too! 😀

Ahh okay I see, thanks for clarifying LBJ. I think my taking action will depend on his behaviour and such over the next couple weeks but it’s nothing I can’t live with and in the meantime I’ll educate myself more on spays since all I know about it is the longer recovery period.

Yeah I thought those cases are probably unlikely but ya never know!…[Read more]

oh! i knew females humped for dominance but I didn’t think ab them doing it for mating reasons. Either way, since Tybalt’s not around any other rabbits and doesn’t seem v dominant I figured humping would be a surefire sign it was time for the big snip.

It would be preferable to do a neuter with the testicles in their proper position because it is easier to do (obviously) and the recovery is quicker. That being said, it may come to the point where you don’t want to wait anymore. After all, his testicles may never descend. It happens. The vet can definitely do a neuter, but the procedure would be…[Read more]

Well humping is actually done by both males and females, if that’s what you are referring to! It’s a dominance behavior, in addition to mating.

Wow that’s like having a baby bunny for 8 months straight! he’s only ever attempted to spray me twice but now its just in his xpen and occasionally in certain parts of my room. I admit (at the risk of sounding like a bunny perv lol) I kinda wanted to see him hump something at least once so then i could be confident in knowing it was time for a…[Read more]

I completely agree! Rabbits are very much  “better safe than sorry”-type animals. She will venture out, but she needs time. My bun has had access to my fenced-in veranda since May, (when I’m there to watch him), but it was only the other day he decided to go out on it. Now he barely wants to go back in 🤣

I was lucky in that he didn’t have any hormonal behaviors until the week following his balls dropped. Once they did, he started spraying me the following day, each time he got the chance, so I’d run away from him pretty often. He also started tail flicking, where his behind would sort of go bonkers, which I assume was him readying up to hump my…[Read more]

Hazel: He/she is certainly keeping me on my toes 😛 I can’t see any but it is difficult to look down there on my own haha

LBJ: She said to me when they gently pushed for the ‘bits’ to come out, to her it looked like a slit but her colleague could see the ‘line with the o’ so it’s definitely ambiguous! Do you know how common hermaphrodites are? I…[Read more]

I am bonding a trio as well and it has been a long process but I think they told you to give up a little too soon. My trio has a more difficult pair as well and recently they’ve been giving kisses on the head. Listen very carefully to the advice you get here because this is what got us moving forward in a positive direction!

If you can do the two…[Read more]
