Activity

The bonder was doing smaller space bonding and I feel like my two just can’t handle that however in my own home I’m struggling with finding a large neutral space for them. I can try my bathroom floor (though it’s not v big) and see how that goes down? I’d only done bathtub sessions with “bunny magic” in the summer and while I’ve been prebonding si…[Read more]

Yes, good point! Heat can “fire up” an active infection, so that’s important to keep in mind, both for hooms and pets.

White is a “safe” color, it’s dark color that can cause a problem. Probably because dark absorbs heat, so the setting must be lower. Effi was dark. But you will know, he willflinch if he hatesit and short time exposure wont be…[Read more]

Thanks for the answers!

Yes good point! I read that in the reviews so I’m glad that our vet said it should be fine to try. 🙂 I’m happy that our vet is willing to work with us to help him be more comfortable.

I was able to find these small mesh cube grids that would work great if you are worried about her getting stuck in bars! They are a bit smaller than the typical grids, and you can connect them with small cable ties. I think they look pretty nice as well! I hear they are popular for making DIY rat cages.

I wrote about them here:…[Read more]

Oh nice, infrared really helps my rheumatic illness too. It’s great for relaxing muscles and loosening stiff joints.

An active infection is a contraindication, because the heat can speed up the infection process. As long as he’s free of those it’s very therapeutic.

just want to say your bunny room looks amazing!

Aw that’s a bummer! I wonder what techniques the bonder is trying? It would be good to get some info on what her strategy is.

I’ve just quickly skimmed back through your thread, my memory is that you were making some progress with them during shorter dates at home? If that’s the case then I would go back to that strategy! Sometimes bunnies just…[Read more]

Thanks! Yeah this product wasn’t very expensive… it was the same price as a single acupuncture treatment would be, so I felt OK trying it out.

Bun Jovi is white, I’m not sure if it has other settings for fur color but I will definitely read the manual. I know it has 1 setting for skin related issues and another for deep tissue.

Infra red will warm  and that in itself will be soothing. Cold laser doesnt warm in itself, but it activates “stuff” in the tissue so the patient can feel local warming.

Idk what color Bun Jovi is, but normally  cold laser for use on animals has a special  lower, setting for dark fur animals. (My dog Effi had cold laser therapy for her really ba…[Read more]

Just wanted to pass along that this happened again. maybe the webmasters will want to know? it seems like every time i am ready to place an order i log in and nothing is there, so i forget the things i was going to purchase and end up putting the purchase off again. seems to happen if it sits in the cart for about a week.

Thank you for your information!!

Thanks so much Dana! Unfortunately the bonder messaged me today saying she doesn’t think she can bond them, they were fighting a lot 🙁

No injuries but I don’t feel ready to give up yet especially because although it’s been slow progress, yesterday they managed to share the same space for 4 hours and Freya even went to Tyb’s side of the cage to…[Read more]

In my experience there is not a reliable difference between mount for dominance vs reproduction, and arguably making the distinction doesn’t matter because I do agree that a veterinary check would be wise if there are concerns of how things are looking. They are rare, but sometimes there’s another testicle or in some cases tumors which cause…[Read more]

Though seemingly small, rabbits do have a clear understanding that a pen wall is a firm delineation of territory, space, and also safety, so being really close with friendly interactions across bars can make sense, while fighting when the bars aren’t there also makes sense. I actually have two rabbits who live separated and are fine across bars.

I’ve been in the field this week, but my husband reports that Bun has been eating better and in good spirits, so that’s good (still been having some bad leg days though).

I joined some “elderbuns” and “disabled buns” facebook groups and some people recommended acupuncture or cold laser therapy. I did find a vet that does acupuncture that would…[Read more]

I feel like I could have written this thread 😄😄

Welcome Ivy! And welcome back Bladesmith. Us addicts, we are understood here. 😉

She’s very cute! I like the new name and the reason you gave it to her haha

💚

Oh Bun Jovi, we love you!
