So I would focus on the space that worked the best, the balcony. It was likely the most neutral and also slightly stressful.

You also should focus on preventing scuffling, rather than just breaking things up. It is very important to end on a positive note, rather than to wait until things turn bad.

Here’s what I would do (either working with all…[Read more]

Maybe that point didn’t come across correctly. I absolutely intend to work to build a relationship of trust with Bonnie, whether she ends up in the trio or not, but I was just wondering if one order of operations might be easier for her (I’m also prepared for it to take a very long time to gain her trust). I have witnessed shy bunnies become much…[Read more]

Oxbow Essentials here. I like it, Oscar likes it. 🙂

Oh no, is yours working again? 🙁  Mine didn’t get very wet either, it just fell were there was barely any water at all, I thought just the case got wet on the outside. It was acting fine, and being the dummy that I am I wiped it off and kept using it. I don’t know what I was thinking. Anyway, after a couple of hours it finally started to act…[Read more]

Hi Dana! Thanks for your response. Ive tried three different types of sessions:

• One with all three buns in a hallway where no bun has been before; resulted in a scuffle between Mia and Bunny while Lilly jumped into my lap terrified.
• Bunny and Lilly each had a mini session trapped in a tiny enclosure next to Mia (who was also trapped in the…

‘First is whether I should wait until Bonnie is much more confident and trusting of us to attempt any bonding. Normally I would think yes, but I know she likes other bunnies, so I just wonder if she would be happier here if she was bonded with them.’

— It sounds like your balancing a one or the other choice here, when you can have both? As we…[Read more]

@kanin you are doing a great job! Fresno was even in my dream last night lol!

Regarding litter boxes, I do mine every other day, but I dump the whole thing. I have a cheap source of pine pellets and hay so I don’t stress too much about wasting a bit. I do a really fluffy layer of hay over the pellets, and then add more hay on the day between…[Read more]

If you have the room, I would say the more room, the better! A lot of factors go into whether a pen is the “right size” for ## of rabbits. There are guidelines, but superseding all is “the bigger, the better”.

Something to keep in mind is, even if the area is adequate, consider how much space is free for the rabbits to get out their energy, run…[Read more]

You are probably right! More time certainly wont hurt anything. I don’t need another quarantine project lol.

LOL Bun Jovi is so oblivious!  I don’t think he can see very well, so sometimes I wonder if he even sees Bonnie at all!

I feed Oxbow Adult Essentials, with a small amount of Oxbow Garden Select mixed in.

Fingers crossed it dries, Hazel! I got my phone wet a couple days ago. Not very wet, but I got the moisture warning and couldnt charge it. Apparently you’re supposed to dry it standing up. (I e the phone standing up 🤣) I propped mine up so it stood on its short end and it did dry.

Thank we will try that. Last night they were actually okay – that was after they had spent most of the day in separate rooms, meeting again only in the evening. No pulling or chasing. However, we’re keeping an eye on things and the suggestions have given us lots to work with! Thank you all

LBJ: People here are already shooting off fireworks at night, the fourth will be nuts. Not really looking forward to it.

I’m so mad at myself. I got my phone wet. Trying to dry it out now, I just hope it will still work. Whyyy… 😥

I would keep things the same as long as you keep seeing improvements from Myra, once that levels out I would take the next step. Although I’m not sure what exactly that should be, I’ve never gone through the bonding process, my pair bonded themselves back in the day and I didn’t know any better… 🙄

Also, Bun Jovi, try to read the room buddy! 😆

In addition to wet veggies, you can also soak his pellets in water. I actually do this with my cat’s dry food since cats aren’t good drinkers.

Agree with everything above. It depends on the rabbit’s personality. I’ve had one pair, one of them was very outgoing and would seek out human attention a lot. The other was more reserved. However, once the first one passed away, the shy one came out of his shell and became more affectionate. In the end, I don’t think it should be a deciding…[Read more]

So funny, I had no idea that it would throw her off so much!

She seemed to be just fine on the floors although slippery, but I’ll put a rug tomorrow and see how it is! Thanks for the help!

Thanks for filling out the template!

So disclaimer is that I haven’t bonded a trio. I’m currently struggling with similar questions (I have a pair and a single foster also!). But I do know it is very common for the current pair to split during the process, so you end up with three singles during bonding, but then end up with a trio at the…[Read more]
