Agree with LBJ10 on everything. I’ve had many rabbits over the years and only 1 of them has liked to sit on my lap. We always joke that he’s “broken” lol.

One thing you can try is to use clicker training and positive reinforcement to slowly get your bun used to being handled. There are some useful videos on youtube about this, and it follows the…[Read more]

I’ve done bun-sitting both ways (having a nice but less experienced person stay with them, and sending them to board with a super experienced person from the rescue).

Personally, I have had better piece of mind with the person from the rescue whenever the trip has been longer than a week, especially if I was going to be out of contact (such as a…[Read more]

It seems likely that it’s connected to the molar filing, since this is a new behaviour for him and he’s 8 years old. It doesnt have to be a bad thing though.

As Wick says, licking soft objects is often a kind of proxy grooming. My youngest bun likes to sit behind my head on my pillow and lick the pillow. I had one bun that loved licking his…[Read more]

I’ve definitely been there. OMG, going on vacation is SOOOO stressful. Some bunnies are stressed out regardless. They may be in a familiar environment, but they may not know the person coming to feed them. So… I don’t see the harm in weighing your options.

So one person is experienced with bunnies… the other is not. But each is only staying…[Read more]

The sad truth is that most rabbits don’t like to be held. Are the rabbits your friend just got babies? Young bunnies are easier to handle. Then puberty hits and any hint of them liking being held goes right out the window.

Now some bunnies will sit in your lap or lay next to you. You can’t force it though. Most of the time, these bunnies are…[Read more]

(Sorry for the duplicate post on the other forum by the way, thank you for handling that one!)

Seeing his regular vet today was quite the relief, as he is very knowledgeable regarding rabbits/has been practicing for a long time. Prognosis was better today — he gave about a 50/50 chance. Took more x-Rays and Loki’s stomach distension/bloat did go…[Read more]

Do you think Cooper is fueling the tension between Myra and Bonnie?

Yes, how is he today? Were you able to get him to the vet? What did they say about the medications?

Ah, pussytoes! My favorite allelopathic plant. 🙂

It can be comforting gesture for the rabbit, there may have been something on that duvet that is just inperceivable to humans but your rabbit noted it…. or other reasons.

A recent molar filing could be a part of it. I’d look at the behavior in context of others and see if it may be indicative of any pain/stress going on.

It also may be a want…[Read more]

Oh, I see now this is a duplicate! I’m going to lock this one to avoid confusion. The link to the other thread is here:  https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/bloat-intestinal-blockage-please-help-any-advice-appreciated-2/

I hope Loki is doing better today <3

How is he doing today? I’m sorry I posted a reply last night but it must not have gone though. 🙁

Thank you for the response! I have tried the eco straw but they just eat it! I’ll check out the one you suggested!
