Hi all!
When my soulbun passed away last year, we were left with a widow and an individual bun who lived separately for quite a while after. Just a couple of months ago we finally got them bonded, however the bond is not what I expected.
Hero (lop) and Pumpkin (small lionhead) do all the normal bonded bun things; grooming each other, hanging out…[Read more]

Yeah, I was able to listen out for them last night and I didn’t hear anything.
Hazel, thanks. I didn’t know that binkies were a sign of that. I’ll try to really pay attention when they’re doing that to make sure it’s not aggressive.

For the reason that you described, the double litter box is just for night time for sake of room and hay for Fable. She does most her hay eating at night (she will drain the entire water bowl in a couple hours) so we need a lot out. In the day, similar to the bathroom, itll shrink in half to just one box.

Oh the shower is good idea! I think a better wash is what i should have done. I had only wiped them over in place. I then proceeded to spill entire bucket of water after I’d finished! 😣
It appears the honeymoon is over anyway. I’ve found some small spots chewed. So I will cover with cloth and see how that goes. I think I will cut it to size,…[Read more]

I think the small pen is a good move. I know that “too much space too soon” can cause squabbles sometimes. You have come such a long way with them overall though!
I am wondering if the current litter box set up on opposite ends might make them more inclined to kind of stake out their own space? (they certainly look like it in this picture lol).…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Dehydration? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 3 months ago
That doesn’t sound normal to me. The head tilting could be a number of medical things, which could be affecting her drinking, or they might be unrelated. I think a vet visit is in order for sure. You can try “skin tenting” to check if she’s dehydrated. Grab a firm handfull of her scruff and pull it up a bit (don’t actually pick her up, just grab…[Read more]

Are you planning to continue the EC treatment? EC is funny… it’s notoriously difficult to actually test for. There are false negatives that make you think EC isn’t the problem when it really is. And then there are also positives, but just because the bunny was exposed to EC and tests positive doesn’t mean EC is what is causing the problem at…[Read more]

Today was uneventful, overall. Hunny spent most of the day sleeping in her tube. She showed no interest in food, save for a broccoli leaf my mother gave her before I woke up this morning and the occasional nibble or two of soaked pellets. Our girl continued to have trouble eating cecotropes, but she did a good job taking her medicine and Critical…[Read more]

HipHopBunny started the topic Dehydration? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 3 months ago
My rabbit Smokey hasn’t been drinking a lot of water lately, and since it’s summer and the weather has been very hot, I’m really worried. She will sometimes look dazed, and stares off into space, her head slightly tipped to one side, is this normal? Some mornings when I feed her, I see that she has drunk some water, but other days, like today, she…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Bunny advice? in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
I doubt you did any that would permanently scare her. 😉 Give her a week or two to settle in. She’s shy, so it will take some time for her to feel comfortable. Try not to make sudden loud sounds, but don’t tiptoe around her either. You want to get her used to the normal sounds of the household. Once she seems settled, you can work on building a…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Wick & Fable Bonding in the forum BONDING 6 years, 3 months ago
So we can stay in free roam endlessly, but Wick quickly adopts a dynamic at charging at Fable when she tries to navigate around. So it’s working due to avoidance and settling.
We have moved the pen into the living space so the benefit of the small size can broach into the scent/environment of the free roam space. Hoping this helps. Already,…[Read more]

Hi!, sorry, I’m hoping ya’ll might have some good advice?
I have gotten a 8 week old bunny (lionhead) about two days ago, my first rabbit in about 20 years (I names her Mary Lou).
We made a nicely sized indoor pen for her (it meets the requirements and then some for a rabbit her size, we did a lot of research on how to make it and are pretty…[Read more]

Some bunnies are OK with a tummy rub while laying down on the ground as well, if you just massage a bit without lifting them up at all. Glad to hear she’s perked back up!

Hi thanks for the advice!
I’ll try my best to give her tummy massages or lift her bottom in the carrier i have later this morning (its currently 2:24am where i live haha)
I’ll also drag my parents out to get the baby gas drops and give her some 😊
