Your male needs to be neutered before proceeding. Otherwise his hormones will prevent the bond from truly forming and will cause her to be more aggressive towards him. So, I would pause all bonding and focus on that first. Once he’s neutered, let his hormones settle for 3 weeks and then try again. Considering how badly they have been fighting…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan!

Yes I’ve found small spaces are not helpful when one bun is very aggressive and fearful. I think with some more time she will come around! I think you could also try a stuffy that you swap between pens (I use dog toys that are vaguely rabbit shaped haha). Get Po’s scent all over it and then give it to Truffle to…[Read more]

There have been buns on the forum that presented eating selectivity with just mild spurs. They can cause discomfort even if they don’t cause ulcers. I remember one member who’s bun would practically go into stasis anytime it got a tiny molar spur.

I took him to our vet, and he had passed the exam with normal results.  Our vet doc is great, and she gave him a very thorough exam.  She looked at his teeth and mouth three times through a couple different scopes, and she said he would be on the mild to moderate molar spur range.  There were no ulcerations to be found in his mouth or on his to…[Read more]

This is so helpful as everything I read online is different, and doesn’t seem to be working for me – especially the smaller face-to-face.

Oh, I also wanted to add, that grunting, hissing, lunging in bonding sessions are not necessarily bad as she is communicating with him. Hard biting should be stopped, as well as things that tend to escalate to fighting, but if she is just growling and lunging I would let it happen.

The fact that Po is not retaliating is great, that means that…[Read more]

If his poops are looking good then I think you are doing OK with the seeds/oats.

I’m very sorry for your loss, Bogyó was beautiful <3

I’m very sorry for your loss 🙁

Welcome back and welcome PJ <3

Aww those type of pairings can be very frustrating, but the good news is it’s better than 2 aggressive buns! What’s the timeline here? How long have you had Truffle? And just confirming both are spayed/neutered for at least 3 weeks? It’s important to remember that aggression is based out of fear. Even though Po has been passive, Truffle is in a…[Read more]
