Hi there! It’s pretty normal for there to be tension when buns meet near their main areas, even when through a barrier. (Imagine a person you maybe passed on the street once just showing up in your house, you might be upset too! ).

Just so I have a better sense of the timeline and their set up, could you fill out the “bonding template”? There’s a…[Read more]

I don’t really understand the first sentence ” Many vets say it cant work because rabbits can burp. ”

Is it only used with gas? Because when my rabbit had problems, i saw mine pushing her stomach to floor feeling uncomfortable. I gave simethicone and it was all good after three doses.

yes they are both neutered and have been for at least 5 months

Many vets say it cant work because rabbits can burp. They can however  fart. In my experience, simethicone often makes a difference.

It’s not taken up by the body, it stays in the GI canal, then gets pooped out. It’s considered harmless in normal amounts (i e if you give a rabbit a ridiculous amount of anything, anything would be harmful). Both…[Read more]

That’s the thing, always when i saw my bun was feeling unwell i gave simethicone and it seem to really help her.

I brush her she just doesn’t let me brush longer than 15-20 minutes then she is done haha

Looks like I’ll be reopening this topic, and thank you for your previous advice! It looks like I will be keeping my friend’s bun (Penelope) along with my two (Gideon & Tess). Gideon is a very calm and patient bun, and since my last update, he’s bonded with both girls. He’s absolutely in love with Penelope, and often likes to sit with his forehead…[Read more]

First question – are they both neutered? I have been told that while bonding bunnies of the same gender is possible, it’s more difficult than the M/F pairings. I am having the same issue with my spayed females.

I’ve read some things now that seem to suggest that simethicone doesn’t really do much in rabbits. In addition, simethicone is for gas problems, not fur block. Basically I don’t think it will help, but pretty sure there is no harm in administering if you wanted to.

I’ve found daily brushing to be the best preventative when it comes to problems…[Read more]

Dana,

I reached back out the the rescue yesterday and they said I CAN bring Luci in for a speed dating session. All their males are neutered and I requested 5 to meet with that are kind and tolerant and good with other rabbits. We are scheduled for next Sunday. I will keep you updated, thanks again!

So cute! 🥰 It’s also great that they live much longer than other species.

I love rats because they’re so clever, but I couldn’t deal with their short lifespans. It’s 2-2,5 years tops for pet rats, and that’s barely enough time to bond.

She’s never been overly enthusiastic about food since I got her, she usually takes a while to do stuff even to come out of her hidey house, since I posted she’s eaten all veggies and she’s pooped like 6 poops which all look healthy, i actually wonder if she dosnt do alot of stuff while I’m sleeping like eat, drink and run around, poop and pee more

Is she normally enthusiastic for these things? You have only had her a week, so it makes me wonder if she is waiting until she feels more secure (i.e. there isn’t anyone around) before she eats. Since it has only been an hour, I wouldn’t worry just yet.

Brown’s?  I use their extreme parrot food.  Fairly good stuff.
