I have a small space (it’s also a bit of an odd layout as it’s a small 1920s house converted into a duplex), so even though she is technically in the kitchen, the living room is right next door with no door, she can certainly hear me and Dorian. And the kitchen is on the way to the bathroom, outside, and where water and snacks are. So I do wander…[Read more]

Please keep us posted!

Fingers very crossed!

Sounds like he is doing great!

oh then that’s a bunny thing 😀  I hope that isn’t a thing that lasts long though! I am wondering how the bonding sessions work out to0! I am going to give it a few days at least before I start them up. I want her to get a bit more settled and come out of her hidey box a bit more. Dorian will get some pre-bonding as I am not worried about…[Read more]

That’s good she’s eating her hay well and playing with her toys. 🙂 Buns can be picky about hay for sure!

Hmmm, I do wonder if it would be better for her to be in a room that you spend more time in quietly, if that makes sense? Is it possible to set up a pen for her in the living room or the bedroom?

I think the kitchen will also be fine, but I…[Read more]

My vet recommends you make an E-collar out of a small paper plate if the bun absolutely needs one. Its less bothersome for the rabbit, it barely weighs anything and its easy to put on.

As the orhers have said, messing with stitches indicates pain. What pain meds is she on and how much?

Oh. My. Goodness! 😀 She’s adorable – he’s adorable – they’re both going to be so cute together!! I can’t wait for more future pics. 😉

That’s nice that Dorian is welcoming to new members! I remember when I was bonding my ladies, they would all flop next to each other and act all sweet, but still do the pee wars. Every time. One would pee, the…[Read more]

Yeah, she was just with her parents so sounds like a bond of convenience , which does mean I have an idea of her background (Dad is an adorable gray Loop and Mom a stunning black with gray lionhead). She is eating and has played with the chew toys I have given her… she dragged one into her box to destroy there. And lots of poops all over, which…[Read more]

The peeing definitely sounds like marking! All normal during bonding sessions.  Not sure why she dug in it, but buns are weird sometimes. LOL

She might be a little alarmed by Dorian at first, but she eventually should start to learn that she is in a safe place by observing his relaxed behavior.

That’s great Dorian seems happy! It’s not uncommon…[Read more]

It could be dry skin from having the area shaved. However, there is no harm in treating with Revolution just to be sure.

PSA: Do not use anything containing fipronil on rabbits. It’s toxic to them.

You’re so welcome! This forum has helped ME so much over the years, I just like to pay it forward! And I learn a ton from everyone still!

I think with Lillian just make sure she’s eating and pooping normally. It doesn’t sound like she was in a properly bonded trio, so it’s probably a relief for her to be out of there. I know you don’t have a…[Read more]

Thank you sooo much, Bam and DanaNM!  It’s great to hear from you and I really appreciate your advice.  I just ordered some sheepette fabric and it looks very promising — thank you so much for the tip!  🙂  So glad Bun Jovi and Myra are doing so well with it.

And good to know about the foot wrap — if Teddy’s twin, Vilde, accepted it then may…[Read more]

Wanted to say congrats and reading your thread gives me hope! They look a very sweet bun couple!!!

Thanks @DanaNM , seriously you have helped me so much in being a better bun parent! This forum as a whole is a blessing. I think maybe the trauma of getting kicked out of her bonded trio, especially being chased and attacked, isn’t helping the feel calm part. They didn’t tell me if she was injured but I noticed a scratch on her nose. I wonder if…[Read more]

Thanks Dana, I was thinking more for her than Dorian. He seems thrilled to have another bunny here… I could of course be misreading, but he seems really happy since I brought her home. I figure she can play in the rest of the house once she feels more at home. I am actually way more worried about her right now as Dorian is just bopping around…[Read more]

Buns will mess with their stitches if they are uncomfortable and in pain/don’t have pain meds. Also an alternative for the collar is either a homemade vest or a recover suit, which will keep the stitches covered while also keeping her warm. E-collars cause more stress for buns. Apparently most bunnies don’t need recovery suits but some do if…[Read more]
