Thank you so much for updating, Dana!  I’m SO glad you found a much better vet — woohooo!!  That will make such a difference.  I hope the shave helps too (Teddy is rockin’ the same these days), plus the increased pain meds.  And good for him for not losing weight!   Wonderful about the new recovery food.

I’m sorry about the string of not-g…[Read more]

That’s an interesting idea actually, I might do that, if anything just because I know she does love grass. I looked into that water additive and I’m not sure it would work. I read comments on there saying it makes the water taste like bleach. 🙁 I felt bad thinking of making her water taste bad. That stuff (the body and waste odor eliminator) is a…[Read more]

Can you get grass seeds and grow your own indoors?

It does sound like it could be “honking”! My bun sounds like a little pig when he honks… more like an “oink” lol

Would the straw be just for bedding? I think most people just use extra timothy hay so they have food as well. Either way, I would look for a local feed shop where you could buy a bale.

As for bonding, there’s some great info to get you started here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/bonding/

Usually it’s good to wait 3-4 weeks after neutering…[Read more]

No, they would still fight — even two fixed rabbits will fight if they are incompatible. To maximize the likelihood and stability of a bond between two rabbits, both rabbits need to be at least 1mo post-spay/neuter and they should go through a bonding process, which may take a couple weeks to months. There are some matches that are incompatible…[Read more]

I put a very fluffy layer of hay on top of the pellets for my buns to make them easier on their feet. I use a screen as well (under the hay), but that’s more for ease of cleaning.

Hmmm how long have they been bonded? Sometimes in a newly bonded pair the habits get worse for a while and then gradually improve.

What type of flooring do you have around? Sometimes buns (especially females) will pee on anything soft. I had one bun that could not have any blankets or beds of any kind because she would just pee on them!

If you…[Read more]

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?

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]
