I’ve tried that, but she likes to go in the back, where the hay would be. If I put it closer to the front, she likes to dig in it and would mess that up royally

I’ve tried that, but she destroys them in a heartbeat

First of all, is your bun a single bun?

Second, is the wound located near the site of the shot?

If your bun is housed with, or gets to meet other buns occasionally, his could be a bite wound scab. The wound looks healthy and good, nice and dry. Keep an eye out for excess swelling, redness and/or seepage.

I had a bun that developed four distinct…[Read more]

I think keeping things as familiar as possible would be the best thing you could do. If he is an already nervous bun, then it is understandable to be worried about the move. It may take him a bit of time to get used to the new surroundings. Keeping his routine will help too. That way he will know when to expect food, etc.

Papillomas can go away on their own. Do you have a photo so we can see what it looks like?

I opt for a large, spacious litterbox and putting the hay directly in there so the “mess” is contained and the hay is easily accessible for foraging. Some rabbit’s eating ‘styles’ just aren’t compatible with hay feeders. A picture of your set-up could be helpful for brainstorming ideas as well! We are having some issues with picture uploads…[Read more]

Thanks, makes sense. Hes only ever had 1 litter tray in the lounge and then free roamed so no xpen. He has tunnels behind the couch and by the dining table now so will try to set up as similar as possible when we move so the placement of things are sort of familiar.

Unfortunately he is a rather nervous bun so hoping to make the move as stress…[Read more]

Try to brush her as best you can and keep in mind they can get a bit of tummy upset during shedding. Gas drops are good to have on hand! My bun is molting like crazy right now. Yaaaayyy…not 😖

I’ve always pretty much done things the same way when moving, put the buns in their long-term travel cage on moving day. It’s one of those plastic-based wire cages, just big enough for a small litter tray and laying down area. Then I move their big cage and all their stuff over and put it in position. I keep the litter trays with some soiled…[Read more]

Thanks for all the advice! Here’s another update:

I’ve had the buns for three months now. They’ve been in side-by-side pens, and I have them swap sides every couple days. So, after three months and all the swapping, I decided to try something a little risky… I took the middle barrier down and tried bonding in their living space (instead of an…[Read more]

Cardboard box with holes cut in it?

Yes, I would put his cage where you plan to permanently keep it. Let him adjust on his own, but definitely keep your routine so at least something is familiar.

That’s good! Hopefully once that is done and they have been given some time to settle, they will be able to form a real bond. If they are already tolerating each other (more or less), then it shouldn’t be too hard once they are neutered.

There probably wouldn’t be any ill effects, but it’s always better to makes changes slowly with rabbits. It will give her some time to adjust.

Nothing wrong with trying to least invasive thing first before trying something else. I’m going to guess they just had a little disagreement. Sometimes these things happen and it doesn’t mean their bond has broken.
