This is 100% normal for an unspayed female bunny. All babies are cuddly. Then puberty hits and everything changes – girl or boy. They become territorial and “aggressive”. Most of these behaviors are hormone-driven.

Can a bunny still behave this way even if they are spayed? Yes. However, it is much less likely. Spaying them often fixes the…[Read more]

Hope the vitamins help BunJovi, poor little guy.

Glad Luna is gaining weight! & hope Jasiri gets over her gut stuff soon, at least you don’t have to try and force meds… never fun.

Nothing really new on our end except also recovering from covid which I had managed to avoid until now. Dorian and Miu are doing great other than Dorian started…[Read more]

I think the fact you will have hormones from Roo being unspayed may cause you issues, I am not an expert on that though, so will let those that are chime in there.

My two had a pretty short (in hindsight, felt painfully long during) bonding, and they didn’t do much pre-bonding. They got along okay their first date and they had never been…[Read more]

No one new. There are other rabbits, but none which interfere with them. My oldest boy essentially fosters the new ones as they come in(teaches them rabbit things as some don’t get to live rabbit lives before coming to live with me). It appears to be purely the lack of reciprocated grooming. Which I have no idea how to get them to recirprocate…[Read more]

Tomatoes are traditionally given as an acute measure to baby buns that present with floppy bunny syndrome.

Vitamin E is often also given as an acute measure for the same symptoms. The general recommendation is to squeeze the contents of a vitamin E capsule directly into the bun’s mouth. This recommendation doesnt say anything about the strenght…[Read more]

Wait, so are there other rabbits in the house? Any new ones? If there are other rabbits around that they are not bonded too that can definitely effect the bond. Forgive me if I misread!

They are both two going on three years old. Very little gap in age(maybe a few months), next year they will be three.

They absolutely use their litter box, heck, they even share one together and sit perfectly side-by-side using it, same with while eating food. Absolutely no food aggression, they share everything.

The trigger of their tiffs is…[Read more]

Hmmm that’s very interesting! Some couples do bicker a bit more than others, but it’s important to keep an eye on things, especially since you are noticing this happening daily.

How old are they? Just curious because sometimes male rabbits can have an increase in hormonal behaviors as they get older, leading to an increase in mounting, etc.…[Read more]

well wouldn’t ya know it, I found a liquid multivitamin for rabbits. Ordered some, will report back once I try it! It didn’t have a ton of reviews but appears to be sold mainly by vet retailers so I think it seems safe. In my discussion with my friend at the rescue she did mention that some addition nutritional support or a probiotic might be good…[Read more]

I’m sorry for a lack of information, I was typing this on the phone initially. They are normal almost all day when together. I’ll literally sit working beside them and they will flop Superman posed or loaf posed side by side, like really snug. They’ll even pass out on top of each other(both are very sound sleepers and asleep they have no issue…[Read more]

Oh I haven’t heard of giving vit-E and selenium. What dosing do you use?

Hmmm, the scuffle doesn’t sound too bad. Sometimes there can be little tiffs in bonds that resolve on their own.

Can you supervise them in a neutral location for a bit? I suspect they may be able to work out whatever disagreement this was.

This aggression is hormonally driven, and worsened by the fact that your buns are housed near but not together with other intact buns. It is “normal”, so itsnot worrisome in that respect.

I recommend using thick gardening gloves when you do cleaning etc. If they bite the gloves you can be more or less indifferent to their biting. This is…[Read more]
