Your bun is ill and the fact that he cant stand up makes this a very serious thing. He does need a vet. He’s probably cold now, so you need to warm him up. You can put a warm water bottle in a towel near him, but he must be able to move away from it if he gets too warm. Is he still all wobbly and floppy?

When did he last eat something?

I agree. If he’s not used to the sound, then ease him into it. Generally, rabbits come to accept the vacuum and after awhile, it doesn’t seem to bother them. They can become so accustomed to it that they will sometimes refuse to move out of the way.

Oh, I only have one rabbit, and he is neutered and litter trained. Because our rabbits are similar, I’m trying to use the knowledge I already have.

Ok thank you!

Rabbit pee comes in a variety of colors. The colors as a rule come from plant pigments. The white you see in the males’ pee is calcium, which in rabbits are excreted in the urine. Both reddish pee and white chalky residue is normal for rabbits.

Yeah, I just want them to actually see my side of the argument. They just won’t listen 😭😞

Can you take him so he doesn’t end up in a less loving home or shelter but keep them at prebonding/neighbors for now? If you have enough space that might be a good option, although I do agree with the other people who suggested getting a second opinion from a vet who treats a lot of rabbits. Of course it’s frustrating to pay twice but if it’s an…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

So we’re nearing the end of the month-long treatment with the oral antibiotic/antifungal medication with Ollie. I think the infection has gotten better, but I still am able to see some flaking, and he has lost some more fur between his ears on his neck area, which I think could be a good thing (?) considering that…[Read more]

Most buns learn to accept the vacuum. If hes been in a foster home, they probably vacuumed now and then.

You could turn on the vacuum in another room for starters, and just keep it running for a few minutes to see how he reacts. This would be a method to help him get used to the sound. If he seems ok with it, use the vacuum in the room hes in,…[Read more]

It does sound like territorial marking. Their bond might not be quite solid yet. You said they each have their own litterbox and food bowl, does that mean they don’t live together 24/7?

hmm, maybe one rabbit is feeling more territorial hanging around with the other one?

Indeed, I’m doing all of the above. He has a pretty big litter box – its width is twice his size, which contains hay and many paper towels with its pee. This doesn’t seem to stop.
