Welcome, and congrats on your new bunny!

She only needs one source of Alfalfa, I prefer to feed Alfalfa pellets with Timothy hay as they will take switching pellets easier than switching hay when it’s time to put them on an adult diet. Young rabbits are supposed to get “unlimited” pellets, but if their food bowl is empty a few hours per day…[Read more]

Agree with LBJ and Bam. Every rabbit will nip (for various reasons), it’s their main way of communicating, they aren’t very verbal. Are you housing them together at this point? Since you don’t know how old they are you should keep them separated until they have been fixed. One of them could end up being a boy as they are very hard to sex…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, Sonn 💔

Just a thought: Could Poncho be pregnant? Its very common for young rabbits to be inaccurately sexed. And even if both Poncho and Pepper truly are girls, they could perhaps have been in contacts with other rabbits before they came to you?

A rabbit is pregnant for 30-33 days. A day or so before the rabbit gives birth, she will want to make a nest.

It is a bit weird that a bun chooses to chew on ceramics. It probably does taste of his food. Ceramics could be food safe for a human but still not healthy to actually eat. Ceramic glaze can be non-toxic, but it still is a form of glass, and eating glass would never be good.

Could you attach one of his chew toys to the cage bars or some other…[Read more]

Is there a reason the area is still divided?  Do they ever share the litter boxes at the same time? Referencing this quote,

“he still peeing outside his litter box, mainly around the fence that separates him and his bigger bunny friend.” 

Can you restrict them both to the main room where their boxes are for a while? Sometimes giving rabbits t…[Read more]

What stories are these? EC bunnies?

Cloudiness in the eyes can also gradually appear during old age.

In bunny language, nipping often means “move” or “stop that”. It’s not meant to cause harm, it’s just their way of communicating. If your bunny nips hard, you can try letting out a high pitched squeal when she does it. This usually gets the point across (i.e. they are hurting you) and they will adjust how hard they nip.

Let’s see… the UK miniature lop is similar to the Holland lop in the US. From my understanding, the lion lop was created by crossing lionheads with UK miniature lops.

It’s confusing, because a UK dwarf lop is similar to a mini lop in the US… and ironically does not carry the dwarfism gene. So, if I’m understanding this correctly, then your…[Read more]

I think he chews it because it has his food’s scent and is tough and stimulating for his teeth. Although he has lots of chew toys, he still loves the bowl. I’m thinking I will just remove it from his area and only give it to him for meal time. He doesn’t chew his water bowl, so that can stay with him.
