Hmmm, the smaller poops do usually mean they are eating less hay. Can you try giving less pellets and see if he eats more hay? It could be that he is getting too many pellets, since you just increased them.
The other thing is to watch out for medical things, like gas, dental, stasis, etc. Also sometimes you end up with a weird batch of hay that…[Read more]

Hi,
I am new to bunny care, and tomorrow afternoon we will be going up to our cottage which has no people at all as it is pretty private. I have to bring my rabbit, Rex because there will be no one home to take care of him for the weekend and I am not planning on having someone else care for him. I have ‘made’ a rabbit carrier out of an old…[Read more] -

Here in the PNW it’s still pretty mild. Things are opening up a little and I’ve been going on hikes and spending time outside. It rains every other day and is sunny the rest. It’s only July but I’m worried about leaving Louie at home when school starts back up, I’m usually gone from 7 am until 3 pm. Even though he sleeps all throughout the day,…[Read more]

My rabbit Louie used to eat a TON of hay and then continued to eat a little less when I upped his amount of pellets, but he still continued to eat a bunch. In the past few days, his hay eating has seemed less and less. He eats barely any hay from his hay bag and litter box, but sometimes eats little piles I put out for him. I have been out of the…[Read more]

What kanin said. Also, you might want to confine him to his cage for a few days if it doesn’t cause him too much stress, just to make sure he doesn’t run/jump around right after surgery.

Thank you.
i did try puppy pads for a while, but they just dig them, bunch them up and then eat them. I don’t think any friends would have them due to the peeing. The only reason I ever intervene with the chasing is because of the peeing that inevitably follows when he doesn’t let her mount, so it’s a bit of a tricky one.
I will try to get some…[Read more]

Thank you DanaNM!
The poop is round, really mushy circles. All the poop you can recognize circles, but it is all just mushy.
They are now eating food! And are drinking some water! Yay! 😀
The incisions are doing good. I’ve been keeping a very close eye on them, but unfortunately, I can’t be there all the time. How can I make these cones…[Read more]

Can you explain what you mean by diarrhea a bit more? True watery diarrhea is a medical emergency, but my suspicion is maybe you are seeing some soft poops or uneaten cecals maybe because of the cones? Have they passed any normal poops?
If they aren’t eating normally, you should syringe feed them (this also helps hydrate them) as Bam says. You…[Read more]

Oh man, that’s so rough! I’m going to try to dig up some other threads of long term bonds that had issues and see if I can find any similar situations.
I was thinking the medical issue might be triggering her to act up in the bond (sometimes a weird bond issue is the first symptom something is up). But it does sound like you’ve covered all the…[Read more]

kanin replied to the topic My litter trained bunny is pooping everywhere after neuter! in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 2 months ago
Yes, give it time. He may be uncomfortable from the surgery and not want to move to his litter box every time he has to go. Their hormones can also go a bit crazy for a while after being neutered so he may still leave territorial poops around until they die down. I suggest just sweeping them up and putting them in the box to remind him.
Keep in…[Read more]

Annnnnnd he’s finished grooming her and she got up, humped him and peed. Give me strength

My bunny was once nearly perfectly littertrained, he never peed on the carpet, just a few territorial poops every now and then that I assumed would go away after his neuter.
I’ve brought him back from his neuter today, he hasn’t peed on the carpet but he’s pooping piles at a time on the carpet! Should I let it go for today? Will he get better at it?

Oh and I don’t really have a neutral space because they are allowed everywhere in the house. The bathroom is the room they go in least. I put them in the bathtub today (no water). Ethel was shaking. Then I put Gus in there and she immediately humped him whilst shaking 🙄

puffs-of-fluff replied to the topic Spayed female hormonal spraying in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 2 months ago
No they aren’t scuffling at all (not for years). It’s only chasing. Gussy absolutely doesn’t allow it and turns his back on her and stamps, and it becomes a challenge for her. He has been in my room allllll day (his choice and she’s not allowed in there atm) and she just gets so so excited to see him. She goes wild.
He is grooming her, but she…[Read more]

Don’t worry, you don’t sound rude. We know you’ve been put through the ringer with this ordeal!
Wow, I had to google myasthenia gravis, I have never heard of it. It seems to be very rare, but not unheard of. I hope you are able to get some answers soon.

DanaNM replied to the topic First visit to the vet in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 2 months ago
He might be a bit scared, but he will be ok. It can help to have rabbits get used to their carrier ahead of time, so you can leave it out and open all the time, and give treats in it. That way they see it as a safe hiding spot and feel more comforted in it.
Since you are going tomorrow though, that’s something for the future. 🙂

DanaNM replied to the topic Bonding A baby to my Existing female vs Quad in the forum BONDING 6 years, 2 months ago
Thanks for filling out the template! 🙂
Whether you choose to go the quad route or the duo, you should wait until the new baby is spayed/neutered and hormones have settled before bonding. Babies do not form true bonds, but adults will tolerate babies. Especially since Queenie is annoyed with the baby, I would stop putting them together…[Read more]
