I did find some vets this morning. For lower prices, so that’s good! 😀 They are all still separated, but they can see each other through their cages. Would it be alright if they visit each other on my lap or on the couch with me sitting there? With Smokey’s false pregnancy, do you think it will be too much longer before she realizes she’s not…[Read more]

Oh gosh, yes don’t feel bad! Not the end of the world by any means, esp since she had the young rabbit food till 6 months! And def not a crazy case of malnourishment or anything!

But LOL I think we can all agree to never take advice from pet store staff. 🙄

I tend to agree it will prob settle down and he’s just being territorial because it’s a new space?

I too have an older bun that honks and leaves territorial poops all over! He runs around thumping too. He reminds me of an old man yelling “GIT OFF MY LAWN” from his porch.

Any other behavior changes? My mind always goes to a medical problem first whenever there is a sudden behavior change.

Buns can also change personality a bit when they hit puberty… I think I remember your bun is pretty young? Baby bunnies are usually fine with being picked up, but once they hit puberty most bunnies do NOT like to be picked up.…[Read more]

Are they both spayed? How old is Willow?

Bonding sessions should be done in a neutral space. They backyard is not likely a neutral space if they both have spent time in it before. If you look at the pinned posts in the bonding section there is a “bonding template”. If you paste it into your reply with the info filled in that would be very helpful. 🙂

@brit_onatuesday Alright thank you! I will definitely try what you have recommend. I’m sure Willow will warm up with time, her personality has always been a bit skeptical of everything and only recently has she been letting is approach her to pet her. Thanks again!

Hi! Is Louie fixed? Sometimes if they’re not neutered they can be “moody” at random times. What is he doing when you say “frisky”? It’s also possible that you’ve done something to upset him and he’s still resentful for it. Any changes in the household recently? I would suggest giving him time and space, as well as positive reinforcement. You can…[Read more]

Don’t feel bad. She’ll be okay, she’s not looking malnourished or anything. I switched my guy to adult food around 6 or 7 months of age, but he’s just a little 3 pounder. New Zealands grow to about 5 kg, just keep an eye on her weight gain, once she stops growing you can switch her to adult food. 🙂

They only need one source of Alfalfa, if…[Read more]

Hi! It sounds like Willow is still skeptical around Clover. I say this because at times she’s relaxed (eating & laying down) and other times she’s kneeling low with her ears back, which is normally a sign of impending attack. In this case it sounds like Willow is just preparing for a possible attack from Clover, because she hasn’t decided herself…[Read more]

I would just keep all three separate, even the two that are getting along. Their hormones make them unpredictable, they can very well be fine for a while and then one day you come home to a blood bath. It’s not worth the risk in my opinion. I wouldn’t even do supervised visits before they have been spayed and recovered. If they’re loose in a room…[Read more]

Today, I found out that Smokey is having a false pregnancy, and pulled out a LOT of her fur! She didn’t pull out any of OB’s fur, and OB was getting stressed, so now they’re all separated, Smokey with her nest. I’m thinking of letting them have visits with each other, under supervision of course. Today I’m going to find a vet who can spay them,…[Read more]
