Hi Emma,

I moved this thread to the bonding section, as it is more relevant to the topic.

Sorry you are experiencing this, I’m sure it is very stressful. 🙁  It should be possible to repair their relationship, but you did the right thing by separating them. Was either bunny injured?

For now give them some cooling off time, which will also…[Read more]

He gets his pellets all in a bowl together, an 1/8 cup twice daily. It’s weird that he just started doing this, I have never heard him make this sound prior. Yes that is my worry that he will get a full blown choking episode. Or like you said the respiratory issue.

The Midwest Home for Pets is actually that size. I just measured mine,…[Read more]

Not sure about a specific x-pen, but my favorite thing to use are storage cube grids (“neat idea cubes”) which can be connected with cable ties into whatever configuration you want. I use them a lot for temporary housing and fencing.

How long ago was she spayed? Their hormones will run wild for around a month (maybe longer) after the spay, hormone driven behaviors can actually get worse during that time.
