I am so so sorry. 🙁 This is so tragic. I also want to let you know that you may not get very many responses because the forum is still under construction, but all of us here understand your loss.

What you describe sounds like it may have been Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease. It is a virus that they vaccinate against in some parts of the world, but…[Read more]

Hello 🙂

So, you already mentioned the most important thing, patience. 🙂  How long have you been working with them so far? Did you do any prebonding to help them acclimate to each other?

From what you describe, there is a good chance your current strategy will work with a bit more time, if their behavior isn’t getting worse over time (sounds…[Read more]

Hi there, welcome 🙂

So, depending on the bun, some level of poops outside the box can be normal. Especially single poops scattered around, which are used to mark territory and will prob decrease with time, since the space is new.

It’s possible you may have given him a bit too much space too quickly, and he might still does have some hormonal…[Read more]

Some buns have a “thumping callus” on the back of the heel that is normal. But agree if there is an open sore or swelling (or a big change) then you will need the vet to treat it. Can you post a picture of the area you are concerned about?

Generally, no… sometimes the growth will even regress on it’s own. But there is the small risk of it becoming malignant. If it doesn’t go away on its own and you decide to have it removed, it’s probably something that can be done later on down the road. If it were to become cancerous, it would take some time to do so. I could post a link to an…[Read more]

This was might thought as well. Good call JG!

I would discourage you from getting a rabbit if the only way your parents would allow it is if it lived outdoors. Plus, I’m doubtful a rescue will allow you to adopt a rabbit (or pair) if they knew your intentions were to house it outside.

I do agree with JG, if you foster a rabbit, it will give you the opportunity to have a rabbit live inside…[Read more]

Some bunnies do well as single bunnies, others do better with a companion… and others don’t necessarily care either way, while others REALLY don’t want a companion. In general though, most bunnies are just fine as single bunnies. You can always start out with just one, develop a bond with them, and then get them a friend later on down the road…[Read more]

You bunny is all black, correct? If so, then he would be en en, not En En. En En is what people often refer to as a Charlie. They are almost all white, with color on their nose and ears. Megacolon is tied to the “broken” gene, which creates the broken/spotted pattern in rabbits. Two copies of the dominant form (En) is what puts a rabbit at risk of…[Read more]
