I’ve put some towels over her cage for privacy, and she seems to have calmed down. But earlier today she just kept tipping over her litter box, and making a mess EVERYWHERE! Smokey’s false pregnancy only lasted a day. I wonder if OB’s will last that long. I gave her Smokey’s old nest, she seems to be good right now. It started around yesterday.…[Read more]

I do not have direct experience, but it may be more stressful for her if you keep trying to interact with her. She probably has a really heightened sense of protection right now, so my instinct is to say leave her alone and just make sure she has access to food and water at all times and read her body language for any worrying signs. If she’s…[Read more]

That can be pretty normal — he may be habituating to it. It may not be as exciting anymore, so a reduction in binkies makes sense. Without making too many assumptions or cognitive leaps, I imagine a rabbit who is used to being penned up going “FREEDOM YAY!” when let out, but when let out more frequently and routinely, the energy becomes more so…[Read more]

That’s great to hear! It does sound like she’s feeling a bit better, as she is eating a bit and drinking. Checking in with the vet sounds like a good idea. Wish you guys the best!

Two things I think any new owner approaching this arduous task should keep in mind:
1) There’s no rule saying you need to do every single nail in one sitting; keep a chart or notes and spread it across a day or weeks, if that seems more manageable to you.
2) Do not feel pressured to clip off as much as you can (i.e. be as close to the quick as…[Read more]

UPDATE: I spent a long time with Hunny this evening, just sitting in her corral and keeping her company. Some very interesting things happened:

1.) Three times over the course of the night, either in a “loaf” or relaxed position (sprawled out), Hunny was making clicking sounds while grinding her teeth. They weren’t the typical “purring” noises…[Read more]

Hi again! Sorry to keep bugging you guys, but OB is now having a false pregnancy, and she is RESTLESS!!! She dumped out her litter box scattered it around her cage, and keeps pulling out her fur! She is by far the most difficult false mama of them all. I don’t know what to do! She started getting restless this morning, and then in the evening, she…[Read more]

Have you done any pre bonding (switching toys, litter boxes, enclosures between them)? There should be several weeks of pre bonding before any face to face meetings. Flat ears are a sign of aggression, putting their tail up is as well. It sounds like Willow is expecting an attack when being chased, it’s not play. I doubt Clover is being playful…[Read more]

Good luck to you and Hunny! I hope she starts to feel better!

I totally get the getting attached to one too soon. I looked on Petfinder for rabbits near me, and got attached to about 5 different buns! I honestly recommend looking at Petfinder because you can search up specifics like age. I found lots of buns on Petfinder and showed them to my mom, and we decided to adopt my bun from a shelter close by. It’s…[Read more]

A member on the forum had an EC bunny with urinary symptoms only. It is not the usual manifestation of an EC infection, but it certainly does happen. It all depends on where those lesions form. Sometimes they form on the kidneys.

I’m with Wick on this. I’m wondering if there is an underlying issue, whether it be a UTI or a mobility problem or something else.

I agree with Dana 100%. It sounds like your bunny needs to be fixed if he isn’t already. Definitely get an x pen so he can still have a good amount of space without you worrying about him destroying anything. It also sounds like you need to bunny proof. What I do is wrap heavy duty clear shipping on everything destroyable like furniture legs and b…[Read more]

I hope you and your rabbits have been doing well.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>It’s a small distinction, but it’s important to know that we aren’t actually litter box training rabbits. In actuality, we’re taking advantage of a natural instinct on their part to poop and eat in the same general locations. In addition to that instinct, they also feel…[Read more]

Yeah, the one bun I got really attached to is now adopted, soooo now I will probably just wait a few more months and bring it up then. Maybe until then I will keep doing more reaserch and bring it up once in a while. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

P.S fun fact, the reason why my BB name is splotches is because I was going to name the bun I get…[Read more]

Patches was/is bonded to buttons (it was a fairly easy bond) and then when I got ziggy she fell in love at 1st site with ziggy but still enjoys buttons company. I had a really rough time with the boys like I  so she spends time with 1 of the boys at all times. When i swap them she will stay in her regular pen and its just a different boy each…[Read more]
