Yeah, all the horror stories tend to get amplified on the internet, but issues pretty rare in general, especially when they travel in the same carrier together. 🙂

Other’s have give great advice! I second talking to the rescue especially. It might even make more sense to adopt an older bun that doesn’t have so much energy.

One tip for bar rattling is to clip a visual barrier to the pen walls, like a sheet or a towel. Those black binder clips work great for this.

I also agree that a litter box screen works…[Read more]

I just came across this thread – WOW!! Congratulations!! 😀 This is amazing that it took so little time for them to bond… They must be a great pair. <3

I’m looking forward to all of the happily bonded pics! 😉

Good bunny proofing, be prepared to have to fine tune it. If accidents happen redce space. Keep a space area that is theirs. Oh and sometimes a towel or sheet over the bars can cause them to chill out. Worth a try. You got this and if not that’s OK too.

Thank you bam for the advice! I definitely am experiencing the “puppy depression” but i’ll try to tough it out for now, if it still lasts after several months i’ll reconsider again.

Thank you prince dorian the bun for the suggestions! i’ll give the mesh a try and make a digging box for him when i can.

I also do plan on letting him be fully fre…[Read more]

How pretty she was!

A stroke, like Dana says, seems likely. If her cataracts were due to e c, it could have affected other organs, like the heart. It’s not something a vet could pick up on in a normal exam. I don’t see how you could’ve prevented this, since she was eating and cuddling just hours before passing away. It seems like she had a…[Read more]

Thanks for your replies

He is ok at the moment (eating ) in metacam twice a day. Still unsteady on the back legs at times.

My other bunny came out in sympathy and looked ill. She was eating the extra food for him and had those big smelly poops. Syringe fed (stopped the treats) keeping an eye on her too. Just about to cut her nails which is…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss 🙁

You did the best that you could, you checked up on her and was monitoring her. Don’t blame yourself because no one could’ve foreseen that. You are a great owner and Juno is so lucky to have you to take care of her and have such an attentive owner.

I wish you and your bunnies the best <3

Oh, she’s adorable! How lucky she is to get to be part of your family! 🥰

If you’ve only had him for 2 weeks, I’d talk to the shelter. It might be that you’re just not ready to be a bunowner just now. Rabbits are quite a bit of work, and especially young rabbits can be challenging.

That said, sometimes getting a pet -any pet -can feel overwhelming at first. People can get “puppy depression” after getting a puppy dog…[Read more]

If you got him from a shelter I would talk to them before re-homing yourself.

That said mental health and anxiety are difficult to give advice on.  If anxiety is something you have struggled with in the past, only you (and a professional) know how to treat it and if the responsibility of a bun is making it worse. It may be if you are able to…[Read more]

Aww what a cute fluff! Glad she has a good bunny home finally.

It’s 1hr each way, I would offer to them when I am waiting for the vet. I just have a water bottle and empty bowl, nothing in the carrier itself. At least that’s what I did with just Dorian. Wet leafy greens is a good idea though!

Thanks both of you, I suspect these two will be fine, other than not enjoying the car ride and having their nails…[Read more]

Thank you all for the advices/suggestion!

I guess the weight score is in between score 2 and score 1? (cause she’s quite fluffy hence might be a bit challenging for me to feel her actual bone structure). I’m a first time bunny owner by the way! Thus might not be able to judge accurately.

I’m feeding her about two tablespoons of mix baby pellets…[Read more]

I have also had buns that will eat CC or other recovery food when they are fine, but not when ill, which I suppose makes sense if they are refusing all food!

I do know someone who clicker trained her buns to readily eat from a syringe so that when they were sick it would be an automatic behavior. Might be something to try! She started by just…[Read more]

I’ve never had issues either! Usually you hear about issues when one goes to the vet and the other doesn’t, but I’ve never had issues with that either.

The car ride in the carrier together is usually good for the bond. And it’s fine that they can’t move around much, it’s actually safer that way. From what you described that sounds like a good…[Read more]
