Oh so cute! I’ve been seeing your profile pic and was searching to find a larger version. Welcome!!!

I think giving both yourself and him the most time possible with supervised free roam time to figure out what sort of behaviors might crop up that haven’t before is important. Also, if you typically let him out at certain times of day, try different times to see what he decides to do. From my experience, once the rabbit finds its niche spot for…[Read more]

He sure sounds cute!

You might hit a grace period where he doesn’t poop everywhere so much but usually that goes out the window when they hit “puberty”. That’s when owners often have to restrict where they go for the time being. At one time, I had 4 male foster rabbits in pens side-by-side and I had to wash the walls once they’d all gone to h…[Read more]

Ok, a new rug seems like a good idea. Happy to know he’s just being energetic. He’s not afraid of wood flooring which is pretty lucky, but I don’t want him sliding around so I will get a new rug or mat to fill up some more floor space.

well if your room is small, free-roaming is a good option in just your room. since the room is small, it would be trickier for him to get lost and get into other things.

How is Theo?

The sleeper poops do not sound too problematic based on a single occurrence. I am curious about your statement of her not controlling her bladder. It raises the thought if she might have some sort of bladder infection or other ailment that’s making her urinate when she may not want to. Is she drinking more fluids than usual? What color is her…[Read more]

Well, I know all their reasons and financially is not one of them. My mom is worried that we don’t have space and I know that I have enough space in my room, and my dad doesn’t have any reasons. He is just kinda going with whatever my mom says. 😢🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I’m just now reading this thread. I’m so happy to see she is doing better. And yes, I agree with the others. I saw that dewlap and was like “uh oh, he might be a she”.

You will have to keep us updated on her progress. I think she will come around eventually. 🙂

Hi splotchesthebun,

Do you know your parents’ specific reasons? It could very well be financial, and if that’s the case it would be best to understand your parents are doing the best they can, and it would not be fair to a bunny to adopt it when you can’t plan for it financially. Many people think of a rabbit as “just a rabbit”, and your parents…[Read more]

This is unfortunately a very common problem when rabbits were living together as babies, and one or both rabbits hit puberty. Females hit puberty later, so the timing checks out.

Baby rabbits do not truly bond (although this is a common misconception), and unspayed/unneutered rabbits do not truly bond because ongoing hormones cause them to get…[Read more]

I’ve witnessed a few mishaps before. Slick floors and crazy bunnies don’t always mix well. I would suggest getting another rug… preferably one that isn’t going to slide around on the floor. We actually purchased a super long runner to go from the rabbit room to the big rug in the living room. Everything else is hot lava. 😉

I think he’s just being an energetic happy bunny. My rabbits run around all the time when they have free roam time, as for the wood floors, not sure. My rabbits can’t walk on my wood floors.  Did he seem to be having trouble on the floor while he was running around? How big is your rug?

Okay! Thanks for your advice. The essay/google slides is in progress. Thanks @WilburBunny. But there is this one bun that I have gotten REALLY attached to, and my parents don’t get that either. They lived with many animals, so they never really had to ask for one. How do you think I can make them understand?

thank you so much,
