The Binky Bunny store sells dried willow. : )
Just some additional ideas with food: chopping some greens finely but also offering like you have been (ie. the cilantro) as she might prefer it that way. Fresh grass might be manageable for her or could be offered chopped also.
Would you be able to find some pure hay pellets? For example Usually…[Read more]

Sonn started the topic Joey no longer plays in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
I am not sure what has changed but for the last few months, Joey has stopped playing completely. She was obsessed with her toys but now they just sit in the corner of her cage untouched.
Any suggestions on why a rabbit would stop playing?

Don’t beat yourself up! At the beginning, her symptoms were pointing toward the most logical cause: tooth issues. It made sense to have her teeth checked and filed if necessary. I wouldn’t think a little filing, even if it wasn’t needed, would hurt anything. As others have said, the teeth DO grow back. So likely no harm done in the long run.…[Read more]

Chances are he probably is a mix. The white marks you describe are usually from the vienna gene. So these rabbits are called Vienna-Marked. It’s to do more with colours and patterns then breeds themselves. With the vienna gene, you might get rabbits with blue eyes and dutch rabbit-like markings or just a few white parts like spot on the nose or…[Read more]

I’m not sure about buying them in-store, but there are many places to buy them online, which may take a little too long to arrive. Pet stores nearby may sell willow wreaths for small animals, you could check out websites of pet stores near you.

jerseygirl replied to the topic Does anyone have interlocking floor mats for their buns living space? in the forum HABITATS AND TOYS 6 years, 3 months ago
Ive actually just bought 2 packs of the foam tiles to trial. I plan to cover the edges because I know they will be chewed otherwise. Im really hoping the rest would be left alone… I have a mini rex and I’m wanting to give some softer flooring spaces along with some traction. He has chewed fabric a little but doesnt go to town on it. I do think…[Read more]

My rabbit has a sort of “clapping behavior” as described, he kind of rubs his paws together and it looks a big forced, but it is just part of his grooming routine.

I agree with everything Wick said. They should be separated. Even if they are both female, they could start fighting. Keep them separated until they can both be spayed. Then you can work on rebonding.
If one of the bunnies is a male, then it’s likely too late. If bunny is pregnant, you will notice a weight change over the next 30 days. Sometimes…[Read more]

Yes, Hunny’s lips appear normal. It’s funny you mention stomach pain influencing food dropping out of their mouth, because last night, I helped my girl pass gas, and she ate five or six pieces of cilantro with no trouble whatsoever. It was like she was normal again.
Neither our regular vet nor the specialist found anything wrong with Hunny’s…[Read more]

My bunny is a Havana, according to the shelter, and since he is brown, he’s the chocolate Havana. He looks similar to the chocolate Havanas on breed sites and when you search for chocolate Havanas, however, he has little white feet, a tiny dot of white on his nose, and a light white-ish gray tuft on his chest. Havanas’ recognized colors are black,…[Read more]

That would be adorable seeing that little face peek around the door. <3
omg lol at Tybalt!
That’s interesting about Dorian. Nice of him to give you a clue when he is about to flop. It might give you a chance to get the camera rolling in time! Some rabbits are licky buns, it seems rex rabbits tend to lick things from what some members here…[Read more]

That’s a good thought JG. It does sound like an energy release.

Do her lips appear normal? Nothing drooping? One thought I had was she may be having trouble controlling her mouth. If that were true though, it would suggest there was damage to the nerves somehow. I’m assuming this isn’t the case. I’m just thinking about my own experience.
Food dropping out of their mouth doesn’t necessarily mean tooth pain. It…[Read more]

Nope, no reactions to it being touched. I guess I’m just a little paranoid due to not really knowing the new vet. 😳 Thank you for your responses!

jerseygirl replied to the topic what does bunny "clapping" mean in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
It’s definitely something I see mine do before they groom the face. With Dorian, it might be more like a way to shake out the nerves, a bit like that shiver we do often referred to “someone walking over your grave” or the “heebie-jeebies”. So it might sometimes be excited nervous energy when you put food down and/or some flight/fight energy on…[Read more]

Oh, that’s weird. It’s hard to know what it is exactly. It seems too flat to be a papilloma. A “pimple” or clogged hair follicle might explain it. As Jersey said, it’s likely harmless. I’d only be worried if it changes or grows.

It’s worth a shot! I’ll try that next time 🙂

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Litter training a baby bunny in the forum BEHAVIOR 6 years, 3 months ago
Unfortunately the tail is really the only signal. What I did with my wick is make a really loud hiss sound immediately when I saw it, that way the unpleasant sound is immediately associated with peeing and in my mind it made me feel like it let him know “what u did to cause that hiss sound is why I am now bringing you to the litter box”.
