What kind of screen did you try? I never had problems with the BB screen because it is in direct contact with the litter. The screen doesn’t put pressure on the feet like an elevated grate would. Perhaps the plastic knitting mesh would work better?

Thank you so much!

HI guys, im new to binky bunny, and i was wondering how to start a thread?

what about getting a  deeper litter box so that when she does dig it doesn’t make such a mess?

For a while I was using a concrete mixing tub (they sell them at hardware stores) as a litter box and it was deep enough that they couldnt push the litter out even when they dug around. Some people also use those covered cat boxes but I always worry…[Read more]

My thing with the screens is when I tried them it caused cinnimon to have sore hocks. I have tried to redirect the digging with forage mats, sea grass mats, Timothy mats, and oxbow digging mat. This bunny is just impossible 😣

Thank you both for the reply, Ill bring it up with the next visit at the vet and see if we can try something new 🙂

When one of my buns was a baby she managed to slip through the bars of a standard x-pen. I was absolutely shocked, I hadn’t realised how tiny she was when you squashed down all the fur! To prevent it happening again, I just zip tied a finer mesh to the bottom of the pen. I had it on hand so it was a free and easy fix, but in your case it may be…[Read more]

In the olden days, when female castrations were risky and few vets performed them, the constellation intact die/castrated buck were fairly common.

How well the bonding works will depend a lot on the individual rabbits and their personalities. The bond is likely to be less sturdy than a bond between two de-sexed individuals. Sometimes you dont…[Read more]

From what i’ve seen it is possible, but it will be a lot harder. I would say its worth a shot though!

That sounds like a good plan to me!

Hmmm, I agree you may want to get a second opinion on getting her spayed. If she is constantly needing invasive dental procedures she may not be the best candidate for bonding anyway, as it is important that both rabbits are in good health for bonding.

That said, it used to be more common for bonds like this to be attempted, but I agree with…[Read more]

Penicillin when injected is safe, given the proper dosage of course. If you have any hesitancy around the competency of your vet, then you can actively search for another and discuss the treatment plan prescribed (but continue the current, as others have said).

Penicillin for two weeks on its own is not “harmful” — I’ve done 21 days of PenG…[Read more]

The bond between a fixed and unfixed rabbit is inherently less stable than one between two fixed rabbits — hormones influence not only the female, but also the neutered male, and you cannot see or predict how hormones may influence behaviors.

I do disagree with the vet — the high risk of uterine cancer (and its consequences) is very dangerous…[Read more]

I haven’t done bonding sessions since the fight. I think I’ll wait at least a week for cuts to heal before trying again. Then I’ll tentatively see if we can pick up where we left off in the bonding process, or if we need to start over.

They’re separated in an L-shaped room right now, but there’s a space/angle where they can still see each other.…[Read more]
