Lovely picture, Ellie 🥰

That’s one smart look he’s got there. He was such a gentleman 🥰

We took Owen and Molly to the vet yesterday for their yearly checkups and their shots. Owen apparently had a point on one of his molars, which they’re going to fix in December. That didn’t stop him from getting a little too heavy. He’s 1760 g now where he should ideally weigh 1600…[Read more]

I agree with Dana, there’s no rush, really. I’ve had buns that needed time before they were interested in pets unless they were engaged in eating 😄 Doubtful if they even knew they were being pet while they ate, yummy food tends to distract rabbits from pretty much everything else.

It’s great that she seems so comfortable near you. I think you’ll…[Read more]

Okay, not swapping. I’m not sure we will be able to do a complete reset, with them completely forgetting each other, though. They lived side-by-side for 5 months and are pretty used to swapping and sharing space; I just haven’t had time to do a lot of proper bonding with them.

You have only had your new bunny for a month, give her more time. Many rabbits take a while to warm up to their humans, especially to petting, but I promise those are the most rewarding ones to earn the trust of. 🙂

Sounds lovely, so nice you have found a home-treatment that he actually seems to enjoy!

Yeah! I’m not sure it’s a miracle cure just yet but he’s had a good number of good days in a row. Still needing the bum baths but his appetite and attitude have been decent!

I was on vacation when these messages came in but they made me so happy!  I’m so glad Bun Jovi is enjoying the infrared and is tooth purring again!!  Such wonderful news 🙂 🙂

Yes, I believe it was ringworm. Rabbits can get fungal infections around their nails.

That’s very familiar: when Molly is out of her hutch anything can spook her. Her problem is that Owen is in another room when she’s out, so she can’t take cues. I’ve made a lot of progress with Molly by being with her on the floor and by mimicking relaxed rabbit body language. (Closing eyes, rubbing your chin against your shoulder as if you’re…[Read more]

I’m sure she will relax in time, especially with social cues from Loki that you are a friend. 🙂

I would stop swapping for now. Basically you want as little contact as possible so they can kind of do a “reset” on everything.
