Plumped Cuddly Bunnies replied to the topic Is it possible to bond 2 does in the forum BONDING 3 years, 9 months ago
I’m just wondering if it would be better to get another male bunny a neutered one to go with my un-neutered bunny to keep him company or would they fight?

Hi everyone,
I have two rabbits (free roam) one male (Percy) and one female (Minnie) I’ve had Percy just over a year and he’s been neutered. He originally lived alone and took to using a Litter box straight away. Around 4 months later I brought Minnie home, I kept them separate for a month for her to settle in and then bonded them slowly, she was…[Read more]

Borya02 replied to the topic Do you wet your horse/wood litter or keep it pelleted? in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 9 months ago
That was what made me eventually get my bunny a grated box – she would lay in her litter all the time (she was free roam and could go anywhere, yet she just loved to lay in her litter.) I kept having to get her sanitary shaves at the vet, her backside was always getting gunked up, it was a real problem.
One litter that seemed really soft and…[Read more]

A grated litter box is a good idea! His backside has been getting dirtier than usual lately because he tends to sit/lay in his litter box sometimes. I do want to try something softer first but I’ll keep this in mind if all else fails. I just bought a special litter box with a lower 3” high opening so that he doesn’t have to jump into it and it wa…[Read more]

What I have done is use a grated litter pan, and put the horse stall pellets beneath it (on top of an absorbant pee pad). I have really found a grated litter pan works well for my bun, because 1. it doesn’t hurt her feet and 2. she isn’t walking on her own dirtied litter. I use one called arm & hammer sifting litter cat box – however, it has…[Read more]

I know for horses they put water into the bag to turn the litter into a sawdust consistency. Would that be okay for bunnies? If anyone has tried it, is it as absorbent? I just took my bun to the vet yesterday and they said he possibly has arthritis so I’m frantically trying to accommodate for it, and I feel like the litter in pelleted form is p…[Read more]

Some bunnies are just very vocal. He could be grunting or honking. Neither is exclusively a “bad” sound. Some bunnies just make noises when they are very excited? Is he neutered?

If he’s young, he is probably just confused by this large figure standing over him. You should just go about your business. Walk slowly around him and talk to him softly. Then you can try crouching down to get to his level. Offer a treat or pets. He will eventually get used the towering human.

Hi,
So I just want some advice please. I’ve had my little rabbit for about a month and a half now and he’s a very happy bun.
He loves to jump on me, play with me and lick me when I’m laying down, however, as soon as I stand up it’s like he doesn’t recognise me and is absolutely petrified of me.
What can I do to gain his trust when stood up?
Thanks

Payton started the topic Grunting bunny. in the forum BEHAVIOR 3 years, 9 months ago
Hello!
I always took grunting noises as a “I’m not happy” sound, but my male rabbit who is a little over half a year old began to make these grunting noises while running around our living room. He “binkies” non stop while running and making these grunting noises, so I guess that means they are happy noises!
I’d like to get some confirmatio…[Read more]

Wow. Thank you for telling me about this product. I will have to do some research and make sure this is safe for rabbits. I can barely leave my room for weeks right now.
I’d be too scared to give her grass due to RHDV (the rabbit hemorrhagic disease viruses.) I believe there are outbreaks in my area, and there are tons of stray animals around…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry for my late reply. @LBJ10: Surprisingly, the oxbow treats all gave her tummy issues (milky urine, etc.). She does however LOVE the oxbow urinary support tabs. That is her daily “treat”, she gets half a tab (on vet recommendation), and loves them 🙂 That is the one treaty food I’ve found that doesn’t give her problems, and she loves…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic One of my bunnies always has diarrhea in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 9 months ago
Intermittent soft cecotropes is caused by a slight imbalance of the microbiota of the cecum. There’s an intricate and not yet fully understood interplay between a whole host of various bacteria and yeasts. ISC is not life-threatening, and not an emergency, as long as there are normal-ish poops as well as sticky poop. Here’s an article on…[Read more]
