It sounds like you’re making progress, Ellie! Owen certainly looks very comfortable in that picture 😃 Really clever of you to make the sofa an interesting spot with herbs!

It might very well be that she feels safe enough at home so her instinct to appear fit as a fiddle to deter predators relaxes a little. At the vet, she doesn’t know if there are lurking predators (all this is obv instinctive). I had the same thing happen with one of my buns, he even ate parsley when he was kept for observation at the vet, then…[Read more]

I ended up switching, having Oreo free roam and Winston in the cage. While he is still a bit aggressive it seems to be less than the day before. I also have been using the visual barrier off and on especially when things get super tense. Winston definitely hates being in the cage and has destroyed every toy inside, but he attacks the gate a lot…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind words, Bam, Azerane and Dorian! Yes, I’m still missing Breintje every day.

As the vet said: he’s bonded to you like to a bonded mate. I guess I’m experiencing what bonded bunnies miss when they lose their mate: the loss of always being together and caring for each other. We were practically glued to each other in his later…[Read more]

Hopping mice are so cute, I had a pair of white mice when I was little,  but like Ellie with having a hard time with the short life spans.

And Ellie, I get the young bun not stay still for cuddles. Dorian snuggles with me on couch in evening and will just melt anytime you pet him, but Miu barely stays still. I worry sometimes I won’t bond as…[Read more]

Yay, Tybalt! Didn’t have a phase when he liked to look into the mirror and admire how beautiful and handsome he was! & Freya is gorgeous 😍 , despite having two little buns I have a soft spot for the giants  (please don’t tell Dorian or Miu)

Yikes!

Definitely make sure all barriers are reinforced. Bunnies in this situation will often jump very high and work very hard to “get at” each other.

Can you try hanging up a towel over the gate to make a visual barrier?

@DixonDad I’d love to hear more about these speech buttons! I’ve seen dogs use them but have never heard of rabbits using them!

Sounds like there must be some smell from the couch’s previous owner that is triggering marking. Because they are soft, they absorb smells and it will be really hard to completely remove the smell.

The most effective option at this point would be to block access to the couch with an x-pen for at least a few weeks. In time the bun might forget…[Read more]

I’m glad you got things checked out!

I do think a lot of the behaviors you are seeing are due to the third bun in the house, and/or the possibility that Tess and Gideon may not have been super tightly bonded to begin with.

I think it’s worth trying the trio, it’s hard to say what will happen until you try!

I think Bam’s suggestion about that…[Read more]

Oh goodness, poor Fluffy! It’s really good that he’s eating. Try to encourage fiber-rich foods, and not too much fruit, just to make sure he doesn’t have a tummy upset on top of everything else.

My bun Moose (also a young rabbit of only about 1.5 years) had several molars extracted and an abscess around one of the teeth in his lower jaw. Moose…[Read more]

I’m so glad to hear that! You can get a cardboard box and put some shedded paper in it for a dig box, and you can take it away when it starts to annoy you. Bunny is happy, you’re happy 🙂

Hi guys!

I got a cat litter box with plastic screen from Amazon, literally best thing I ever invested in, digging stopped overnight

now trying to find a way of giving her a digging box to use as I fear she’s lost a fun thing to do!

Wow, she’s a looker!  Boy is a sweetie!
