Thank you so much for your input, Glenn and Dana!
@Glenn: thank you, we’ll try to keep food away from them once we find an appropriate neutral space! ^_^ They do well in the pre-bonding pen: they’re often mirroring eachother’s behaviour and they eat and sit together.
@Dana: your comment about not fighting in a shared space made my day! It gives…[Read more]

Bunnybutt started the topic How long dies meloxicam last in bunny system? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 4 months ago
Hello!
My little guy was having some tummy trouble yesterday (lots of stretching, eating less, but still eating. Less poop but still pooping,seemed uncomfortable) he’s had GI stasis a few times so I gave him 3 doses of simethicone each an hour apart and 1 dose of meloxicam that I had from his last gi stasis bout. That was at 9 last night. All…[Read more]

Oh those dwarf personalities! Such a joy during bonding! 😆
So a couple things jump out to me!
First is that you haven’t done side swaps, from what I read. Even though they know each other well, they have staked their territories in the house, and know each other as neighbors for the most part. I would start swapping who is in which cage…[Read more]

Awww no sorry you’re having troubles!
It sounds like you were making some good progress.
I have successfully bonded 2 pairs of buns with lots od useful help and info from this forum. So theres a couple of things that I’d say might help.
a- I would give them more time in the pre-bonding stage, generally a minimum of 2 weeks is recommended up to…[Read more]

Being first time bonders, we could really use your help after we’ve had 2 nasty fights. It all seemed to go so well until a fight started, and now they are fighting almost immediately! 😥
Here are the answers to your questions, and thank you very much for any help you can give us…

RabbitPam replied to the topic Need help cleaning eabbit in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 4 months ago
If the area is sticky, a very light dusting of corn starch will dry a moist area and you can very, very gently remove the stuck cecals and poos with your hand. It can help with some discoloration, but you really want to wipe off any excess so your bunny doesn’t ingest it. It won’t hurt him to eat a little, and sometimes it helps dry the areas…[Read more]

RabbitPam replied to the topic Habitat setup for a studio apartment in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 4 months ago
I have no idea if this idea would work for a bunny, but I saw the coolest article in a magazine this week where someone used an open cabinet (door removed, low, like in a kitchen) for a small dog to sleep in. It could enclose a litter pan or have a tunnel fitted in with a seagrass matte for a floor for sleeping and napping. You’d lose a bit of…[Read more]

RabbitPam replied to the topic mental health rapidly declining after getting a bunny, what should I do? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 4 months ago
You’ve gotten some great advice already. I’d like to add that sometimes a much more limited habitat space to begin with, with gradual expansion, is helpful in training before free range. I know you have some bars for him – didn’t quite get whether it’s an enclosed cage for a short time or not, but a puppy exercise pen with an open top or a sheet…[Read more]

My husband was just suggesting that it would be cute to name a group of buns after apple varieties: Gala, Fuji, Macintosh, Cortland, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady… 😆

Though associated with the state (so I don’t know if that makes it more or less appealing, haha), I love the name “Montana”, which could be shortened to Monty!

Hey guys! I’m new here and don’t really know how to ask a question so I’m gonna do it here I think. My rabbit is 10 years old, he used to have no problem when I groomed him but as he got older he progressively hates it. I will pull the fluffs with my fingers (only the ones sticking out) because thats all he will let me do, and he always snort…[Read more]

I was checking on Miu’s parents to see if they got adopted, but sadly not and there are more rabbits than I have ever seen. I know they were asking for extra foster families for dogs too. I wonder as people are having to go back into work that’s causing them to dump the pets they got during quarantine? I get sometimes for every one involved it…[Read more]
