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]

So, if the play area is close to her cage and she is able to go into the cage during play time, then you probably don’t need to add a second litter box. If you notice she starts toileting in one area of the pen though or is pooping and peeing a lot in the pen, you can add a box there.

Keep in mind that when she hits puberty at 4-6 months her…[Read more]

It could have been a weird batch for sure!

Gas pain can cause a rabbit to go off of their food and behavior normally. As prey animals, rabbits hide their symptoms.  What treatment is your bun on for stasis and bloating? Is your vet rabbit savvy?  Many things can cause stasis and gas issues, aside from cancer, so I would want to rule out everything else first. Can you also describe her d…[Read more]

What about carefresh? I used to use it before I switched to pine pellets and it works well. Maybe not quite as good on odor control but still pretty good and it’s paper based and has no smell.

I agree with Bam that his teeth should be checked. Eating selectivity is often the main symptom of a dental issue.

He’s still doing OK, but yesterday was not a great arthritis day, even though he had several good days in a row before that. He will often get up, try to move a bit, and then seemingly get frustrated if he cant get his legs underneath him correctly. If I’m nearby I help him a bit by giving him something to brace against, but he also seems to get a…[Read more]

My bun Myra is at least part Californian and she isn’t too big, so we think she might have some Florida white crossed in. Himalayan’s aren’t as common. 🙂

Bridge bunny appreciation.

Glenn as a baby vs yesterday (5 years)

The faces smushed together is too cute!!

Freya is a hardcore flopper and I finally managed to get a decent pic of it! Most of the time i can’t get to my phone because I’m holding her bum or legs to stop her from falling off the sofa :’)

That is TOO too cute, literally a couple meant to be <3

I will most definitely be bothering @DanaNM with bonding advice but thanks for documenting Dorian and Miu’s journey in so much detail! I read through your bonding journal other night so I’ve already had a few questions answered by that post and I’m about 5 days into prebonding so wish me luck!!!

Sometimes it’s just better to “start over”, so I think shaving was a good idea. If you see the fleas return, definitely get some Revolution or Advantage.

Baking treats in silicone is fine. But yes, probably not a good idea to let them chew on the molds themselves. Bunnies like remote control buttons, so I’m sure a silicone mold would be tasty to them as well!

It sounds like it could be an injury to her mouth. Hopefully it’s just soft tissue and she didn’t break a tooth when she fell.
