Yes, unfortunately the changes can be like flipping a light switch. Is she boxing or lunging at you? Or is she just coming up to you and casually trying to take a chunk out of your hand? The former can be interpreted as aggression, the latter is more them exploring things and testing their boundaries. If your bunny is simply nipping you (and yes,…[Read more]

Bunnies will chew each others whiskers in an attempt to establish dominance. You said they were struggling to decide who is going to be top bunny.

For the record, it seems a lot of bunnies do not like Kaytee. Mine sure didn’t. It just doesn’t smell that fresh. I would try some Oxbow orchard grass or oat hay, both are very popular. They also have a botanical hay with some herbs mixed in. Small Pet Select, Rabbit Hole, and other brands are also good. Binkybunny also sells some awesome mini…[Read more]

It has been awhile, but was she checked for chronic sinus problems like tooth roots or another obstruction (abnormal shape to the cavity, etc.)? The reason I’m asking again is because this sounds all too familiar. I had a bunny with chronic sinus issues (tooth roots). He was sensitive to strong smells, hay dust, etc and he would sneeze whenever…[Read more]

Aw, poor Bun Jovi. 🙁  The confusion is really hard because you feel helpless. There isn’t much you can do except try to be reassuring.

I have mine in pens, but there are some examples of creative indoor set-ups involving hutch-type things (haha) here: https://binkybunny.com/bunnyinfo/other-habitats/

Most hutches are too small but some people like to have the hutch as the “home base” for all the bunny’s stuff, but it’s left open to a larger area 24/7.

Ok I use the tractor co pellets. I just need to remind myself she’s got a month till sh gets spayed then another month after and she will be a fully grown bun bun and hopefully will be a good girl and eat her hay while she no longer will have access to unlimited pellets.

I can relate to the litter training going out the window while she still pees in her litter box the minute I let her out of her playpen she leaves a trail of poops behind. Easy to find her or see where she’s been lol she’s at the 4 month mark.

Vilde! <3 He reminds me of a dust sprite from Spirited Away 😀

It was so silly! We heard the usual “flop” noise, and then looked over at the tunnel and just saw her feet fully upside down!

and Bunston and Bertha! I can’t believe she tranced herself 😀 (I can see Dorian managing that one day). Such beautiful buns.

Vilde was such a little fluff! He really did know how to relax 😍

Yay, glad it was helpful for you! I found that the journals others had written were useful and if nothing else made me feel less out in the wild unknown! Best of luck bonding <3

Bridge bun appreciation!

Here’s my Vilde, from November 2020:

Boy knew how to relax 😂

Here’s a pic where you actually almost can see its a real wabbit, with ears and eyes and all that:

Aww I love the bridge bun appreciation!
Here’s Bunston and Bertha <3

Bertha was a champion flopper. Once she flopped in a tunnel, which caused the tunnel to roll and she ended up trancing herself 😀

😀

Oh man, how scary! Especially with one bun so young! Have you taken your young bun to the vet to have his lip looked at? This type of injury happened on one of my buns and she needed 1 suture to stitch it up.

So, as you probably are aware, it’s essential that they are not able to escape and get to each other again. It’s very normal for rabbits to…[Read more]

Often buns lose their box habits completely during bonding and don’t improve until the buns are bonded and settled in as a couple. Sometimes it even takes a couple weeks after they are bonded!

Now, as to why it has been so variable, I’m not sure! My guess is some combo of inconsistencies of dating (sometimes lots of dates, sometimes none) and…[Read more]
