Ok, great! I just reintroduced them in a neutral space for about 30 minutes, and it went pretty well. My male (the one who got surgery)  is still a little tense around her, but everyone generally seems a bit calmer. They hung out in the litter box together. I’ll still probably separate them today when I’m out so everyone stays safe, but maybe I’ll…[Read more]

I wouldn’t worry just yet. She is probably upset because he smells different. Keeping her separate temporarily is probably your best bet. You could try swapping some things to help “get rid of” the scent. Then try letting them see each other in a more neutral area to see how things go after that.

That’s a good idea Bam. Maybe just take the cardboard one away for a little while, then try reintroducing it later.

Yes, a roof is important to buns. Keeps them safe from raptor birds. If you could mske some sort of roof for ot I think thst’d help a great deal.

I dont know how long they’d need to understand that there actually is no “intruder” (aka foster) occupying “their” cardboard house. Maybe if you remove it and put it back in a couple of weeks they’ll…[Read more]

They prefer the cardboard townhouse so much more than the wood one so I feel bad if I rid of the cardboard one but still so much poop. Can’t they figure out there’s no need for that as foster is long gone?

I’ve been putting treats in the wood one but still, no bun hangs out there. Maybe the the second level of cardboard has a roof over it and the…[Read more]

There are no nicks! Lol

If he gets a cord, it is chewed into a million pieces. He very much likes to partake in the spicy hay!

That possibly could be true. Fortunately, we have never had a problem with electrical stuff once the wire was taped. I used my laptop charger for a few years with the cord taped.

The only issue really was the lamp. Eventually it started to cut in and out with the cord, probably extensive damage. And with the cats knocking it over (twice on my…[Read more]

I heard tape should not be used if the wires are exposed or only temporarily/emergency until you get the cord fixed. Never had damage where the wires weren’t at least a little chewed too!

I’ve lost so many vacuums… Latest was the wet vac. While it was on (cleaning their mess), no buns around what-so-ever, then went away for a couple sec to pour…[Read more]

If someone would have asked me yesterday if buns are pests, I would have said a resounding yes! Lol

Yeah, we had an xpen in front of the corner where the wires run in from the wall to the router.

Rocky and Napoleon live in the computer room and generally aren’t destructive. Thats what surprised me so much. They have now been sequestered to the…[Read more]

Yeah, we have lost some phone charger cords, some book covers, a lamp, my laptop charging cord….we keep electrical tape on hand lol. Most of our cords have some section of tape.

No… but the phone charging station has about 5 spare cords on standby. After buying a replacement twice, I gave up and ordered in bulk.

LOL I have a plant in front of the fiber cables. Extra deterrent if they get through everything.

This is why I don’t actually believe in free roaming everywhere. My biggest fear is if they get through a weak barrier (just one grid height), stairs, through a room, and then damage my pianos or string instruments. I was told before that if I got…[Read more]

I agree. If it is causing problems then it’s probably best to just get rid of it.

The foster has poop marked  the cardboard house so the others must reclaim it. If it causes a conflict its probably best to remove it (cardboard house), but it seems a rather normal bun behavior/reaction when there’s a new bun!

Ah, yeah, if it could be the texture of the cat litter that he likes, then that would definitely be an idea! I’ve had good luck in the past with wood stove pellets from farm supply store. But, I believe there are some pellet ttpe bedding available online, too. 🙂 You could also try hamster bedding, the paper sort. Its helpful for bunny pee smells…[Read more]

I’m wondering, do you think switching to a pellet-based litter, the closest I can get to cat litter while still being rabbit-friendly, would be a good idea? I think he may prefer the litter itself, but of course that is just a guess.

I have a secondary room for the cats, attached to mine (living with family due to being disabled), perhaps…[Read more]
