Yes! I highly recommend associating her pen with being fed. It’s helpful to time things so they are getting pellets or salad at a time when you want them to go “home”.

Hi Dana!

I have indeed been. I am waiting to hear back from them now. 🙂 I’ve also been in touch with every rescue I can find the contact info for across CT, MA, and NH including the House Rabbit Connection. Hope to hear from someone soon!

I could just be really concentrated pee.

Misshapen poops can also be caused by the anesthesia. As long as she is eating and pooping, I wouldn’t worry too much about poop shape.

Thank you for helping out with this bunny!

Have you been in touch with the House Rabbit Network? https://www.rabbitnetwork.org/

They are a MA based rescue that has fosters all over the New England. They may be able to help provide a foster or assist in some other ways (especially if you volunteer to continue being a foster parent while they help…[Read more]

That’s excellent!!

Always good to have options!

Have you tried the photo trick of adding it to your profile first, so it shows up in your media library?

First date with Theo went really well. Thanks @DanaNM for the advice! They just sort of sniffed each other and hopped about around each other. The both seemed curious and wanting to play, but not quite sure. Theo groomed a couple times, where Dorian would come check in with me and then go back. We kept it at roughly 10 minutes. Wish I could upload a photo!

Nice! that sounds like a great pre-bonding step!

It’s only happened in the past few hours, nothing in his room that could have caused him to damage them.  I’m completely stumped!

Could your bun be part rex? Rex rabbits have curly whiskers. I have a mini rex and her whiskers are curly. My other siggestion is if he’s been close to f ex tea candles. Buns are curious and like to stick their noses into things.

Last night I tried something different. S&S have run of our three seasons room while Rascal has free roam in the living room. The two rooms are separated by a sliding door. I really want to have positive associations so we opened the sliding door, put both our baby gates up (one in each room’s side) so nobody could get close enough to bite, and we…[Read more]

In the past, people have had some luck with contacting Dr. Dana Krempels for cases that fall under the umbrella of advanced rabbit medicine.

I’m not sure if she would respond these days, as I’m sure she gets a ton of messages, but it might be worth a shot?

You might reach out and share Milo’s story with her. Looks like she’s still listed as…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your replies!

He does have longish fur, he is a fluffy mini lop. I try to trim it as best as possible.

He eats hay well and has constant supply. Veggies occasionally as they don’t tolerate much very often. They have pellets, but we have been trying to increase them slighty as they are all coming up underweight. But this issue…[Read more]

Yea, I’ll try that after the next grooming coming up. I’m just so scared to free roam them again after their last tiff… I don’t like keeping them in the pen with their beady eyes peering out 🙁

Hmm, that is unusual, and it does sound like they are maybe friends but not super tightly bonded.

One trick people will do to help with possible issues after a vet visit is to rub a towel on both rabbits to swap their scents around. I wonder if you could try something like this? And maybe put them in a neutral area together for a little while…[Read more]
