I really appreciate this advice, and it clarifies a lot! I had just been wondering about the balance between the “stick with what works, ditch what doesn’t” mentality when things seem to get stuck in this sort of limbo, but this answered that on top of all my other questions! I’ll try changing the environment again now that they’ve gotten less…[Read more]

Hello and thank you for your answers,

sadly my little angel has’t made it, this is a nightmare for me. It’s extremely devastating especially because I feel like it’s my fault and I didn’t think this would happen so I didn’t even say goodbye to him for the last time.

i don’t know how i’m honestly gonna recover from this Remy was pretty much a…[Read more]

I know someone who very recently had a rabbit successfully recover from incisor removal (i.e., all front teeth) — the rabbit was eating by the end of the day and has has no complications. There are many successful stories of teeth removal. There are occasions where they grow back due to the vet not removing it cleanly, but that will be based on…[Read more]

Hello! This is Oliver! Were new to the forum! He is 1.5 years old, he is an opal Netherland dwarf, and he is adorable!

I have a really soft throw blanket that my bin loves! It’s his favorite to flop on but he still has traction! I also found that when I use fleece it’s impossible to clean. But the hay and pop just slides right of this soft blanket. Here’s a picture of it!

Hugs to you and yours.  A bunny is just much family as a dog, cat or any critter.  All my critters count, fish and snails too.🥰

Hope you can heal your heart with a foster or new adoption.

Our first foster, Chihuahua, lasted two hours before we knew he was home for good.  Miss you, Litty Bitty Dog! (He came named Stinky and I just couldn’t ca…[Read more]

Thank you so much, again!

I’ll get scrubbing right away tomorrow morning! It’s probably going to be an early morning too 😒 I’ve got two bunnies who seem to want to get together again: there’s a lot of rattling at the bars and following each other around.

They had a very short last date because the grass turned out to be too wet, and no date at…[Read more]

Picture time! I think that Owen and Molly are becoming very close. They’re constantly interacting with each other through the bars.

They haven’t had a proper date in the last 2 days because of the weather, and they’re clearly not happy with it. They’re constantly rattling at the bars and trying to interact. Hell, even Molly is rattling the bars,…[Read more]

Depends on the essential oil and how often he will be in contact with it and how much he will be breathing in the vapors. Some essential oils contain phenols that are harmful to rabbits when they are frequently exposed to them over a period of time.

I would give it a little time. They will probably eat it eventually. If they continue to turn their noses up at it, you may need to get some of their old type of hay to mix in.

Alright, I’ll give it a little longer then. The old hay was Oxbow Timothy hay and the new hay is Ametza Bermuda grass hay that I got off of Chewy.com

I have not personally experienced this, but I know there have been several members on the forum with bunnies that had teeth removed. I’m sure your bunny will be fine. There is always a risk with any surgery. But with an experienced rabbit vet, that risk should be extremely small, especially if your bunny is healthy otherwise.

Hmmm, this is tricky.

To answer the question about what to put on heads to encourage grooming, I’ve used mashed banana with mixed success. I did have one bond where it worked a charm, so it could be worth a shot, especially at this point. It could be a little tricky if Tess comes in to get the banana and Penelope goes to nip her, so it might be…[Read more]

All of that sounds good to me! It’s very normal for there to be some back and forth. Sharing food is a great bonding activity. 🙂

Haha! Sounds good to me! Let the poop wars commence!

The flopping and binkying always cracks me up. I my interpretation is the bun is saying “look how much I’m not threatened by you”.

I think it’s worth a shot! You could at least do some shorter dates inside to try to keep the momentum going. I think when you start making progress (which you are) it’s good to try to do a date every day, even if it’s short.

If you notice right away they dynamic is really different, I would be very hands on and keep the date short.

Glenn and Ellie gave excellent advice, agree 100%. 🙂 I would give them some cool down time and more pre-bonding and see how they do! If no bun was injured in their fight then I think they have a good shot.
