I have to agree with the others, Thumper doesn’t seem to mind to be held but he definitely prefers to be on the ground while Blossom wiggles and kicks hard whenever I pick her up. Sincerely,Cinnabun (aka Morgan) on YouTube has a video on what she did to get her rabbit Cinnabun to tolerate being picked up so maybe that could help you?

I think Nationwide is the only one who has bunny insurance in the US

I’m sorry you are having such a tough time with them! You mentioned Bella is spayed, but can you confirm that Winnie is neutered? If not then that is your primary problem. My advice below assumes that he is neutered.  Bella sounds like a fairly territorial rabbit in gerneal (those nethies are so fiesty!). Also the fact that she is blind in one of…[Read more]

Warmer weather, even with the AC on, can cause bunnies to be less active. They will lounge around a lot and not want to run around/play as much.

Yes both bunnies were in a neutral territory, an open space in a sense so they both weren’t forced to possibly feel cornered or threatened. We put things in the middle that they would like (hay, toys, food). At first they would both roam and investigate where they were, but if Bella by some chance ended up getting closer he would sit still and s…[Read more]

Hotter weather can naturally lead to more “bleh”. Rabbits are more intolerant of hot weather because of the fur.

While a fan will circulate air, it doesn’t do much in terms of actually cooling the room. There are some tips here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/cooling-tips/ ,  https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Hot_weather_concerns

Can you provide some more clear details around what you’ve done in terms of the bonding process? Rabbit bonding has some mechanics that require time and slowly going from step to step, often taking multiple weeks to sometimes months of daily work/sessions.

To start, when you’ve tried short meetings, have they been in a small neutral territory?…[Read more]

Unfortunately, there isn’t a universal system. Tattoos for identification purposes are really whatever system the breeder comes up with. They know what it means, and perhaps the people at a rabbit show knows what it means (because the breeder explained it and uses the same system for all their bunnies). Other than that though, I don’t think anyone…[Read more]

I agree, it depends! Rabbits who are showed usually have tattoos, but also if the bun has been vaccinated for RHDV2 they either add a tattoo or a microchip as an ID. Does the rescue have any info on it (such as whether they gave him the tattoo)?

He is beautiful!

Rory is gorgeous!!

What ear tattoes mean vary between countries and regions. I have one rescue bun whose ear tattoes say what registered (national breeder) she comes from.

My 2nd bun’s ear tattoo signifies the rescue he comes from. There’s no international standard as of yet, but the fact that s o went through the effort to get their bun tattoed…[Read more]

Thank you Fritter parent Avern! Quite often bun pics are so cute its like “The world needs to see this!” 😍🥰😍

It does sound like you are very, very well prepared! A responsible carer is likely to know when there’s sth they should contact you about, even though they dont have rabbit experience, assuming it will be possible to contact you of course.

Hey!

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn’t reply sooner we have now had extra stress of our airline pilots going on strike, so the whole trip is now uncertain anyway…

Yes, so one pet sitter is somewhat knowledgeable and has cared for our bunnies short term in the past and the other is responsible and trusted but not experienced. Unfortunately…[Read more]
