Forgot to update for quite some time, but they are officially a trio and have moved to their permanent location and slowly upgraded to the full size now! It definitely seemed like once the space was fully expanded and they had a ton of toys, Sage seemed to be far less frustrated and really doesn’t chase and antagonize anymore. He’s actually…[Read more]

Can confirm the teenage nips for sure, Dorian could be quite bad when he was little but I would be overly dramatic about it so he knew he had bitten too hardand he eventually learned to not do it or just grew outofit. Miu never was much of a nipper, she will nudge you with her nose and dig at you if that didn’t work.  She was also a couple months…[Read more]

Oh could heat gave triggered it? We had a couple of days where it skirted around 80F inside? Dorian is finally done molting other than the area around his tail, just in time for Miu to start. At least she’s not as sensitive about being plucked or brushed. As long as she’s got a snack she couldn’t care less.

Its alway more difficult to give advice to an  excellent bun owner like you 😂 Hay (and fresh grass) is always the most important component of of a bun’s diet. Hopefully you can forage some fresh pesticide-free grass now that the vaccine has taken hold. The RVHD-viruses are more or less endemic where I am, but since we got the vaccines back in…[Read more]

I thought about diet, but as Miu is a bit of a picky princess and I have not been foraging for their greens due to wanting them fully vaccinated first, it’s been pretty consistent. Just mixed greens with occasional store bought dandelion. They don’t get that treats often. Pellets are same oxbow brand he got once I switched him to adult food. Maybe…[Read more]

I think it’s fully normal and nothing to worry about. As always, keep an eye on appetite and poop -of course 😃

It’s good that your bun has an enclosure to spend the night in. It’s generally beneficial for buns to spend part of their time in a (good-sized) cage or enclosure. That way they get to be in environment that they feel in control of. You…[Read more]

Thank you so much! You always have great answers! Will keep in mind, thank you again!!!

Just keep observing him. A spook in the middle of the night is quite common with rabbits. They hear frequences we cant hear, they pick up scents we have no chance of picking up on. It’s nothing supernatural or weird about it, it’s just how rabbits function.

Rabbits can however hurt themselves if/when they panick. They can hurt a limb or a claw…[Read more]

Sorry just to clarify; the running was because he was scared. After he came out of cage, he was still spooked and was running everywhere out of fear.

It is very good that you’re being so vigilant. Knowing one’s bun normal routines and little quirks is the best thing when it comes to spotting if/when sth isn’tcompletely right early. Early detection of a problem is very important with buns, because as prey animals, they won’t show heavy duty symptoms until whatever isn’t right has become sth really wrong.

Thanks Dana – She’s so unpredictable and hard to read sometimes! I’ll definitely continue w just prebonding for now.

Do you think it makes a big difference how the pens are set up? Rather than parallel side by side, they are sort of perpendicular? So the cages meet at the corner where they eat and their litter boxes are at opposite ends fur…[Read more]

What type of litter are the using the box? As a rex his feet will be more sensitive to substrate, so if you’re using wood pellet litter it would be too hard on his feet, so if you’re using a pellet litter try something like carefresh instead. I would also suggest cleaning the litter box more often than twice a week. I do mine every other day, so…[Read more]

I agree that young rabbits are certainly more mouthy than adult buns. They’re still learning, exploring and figuring things out. Rabbits also use their mouths for play (shredding/throwing/rearranging). Mostly a nip is pretty gentle force like a light pinch but if you ignore them they might nip harder. Recently one of mine has been getting daily…[Read more]

It isn’t toxic to rabbits.
