Is he full grown? The ears and face shape say Flemmie.

hi, thank you for your response. this has happened before but this is the first time he started limping. Im taking him to the vet tmr just in case

A lot of the methods also don’t seem geared to freeroam house buns who are maybe a bit more integrated in a family and for whom such confinement is going to be more drastic. Taking them on a car ride to me is not quite the same level stress as the aggressive shaking of a laundry basket I have seen in some videos. They will be going to the vet…[Read more]

You are right in that pre-bonding is good for both bunnies! I think Dorian will relax with time.

And I think you are also right in that her not laying down (at least while you’re watching) is a sign that she’s not 100% comfortable yet. Flopping and completely laying down are super vulnerable positions for buns, so they don’t tend to do them if…[Read more]
