Thanks for the update! Happy to hear they are all doing well!

Can you describe their set up and her interactions with her bond mate?  2 years is a bit old to be going through the teenager phase. Shy bunnies really benefit from having a lot of hides and tunnels around. One of my buns is pretty shy and wasn’t coming out to exercise until I added more hides in the exercise area.

Does she cuddle and groom with…[Read more]

Reminds me of Sunny and Binky lol.  Sunny is the white with brown and Binky is the White with black.  Both around 9-10 years old at the time of photo – may they rest in peace

Well Cooper is adorable..is he your only bun?

It could be that you smell like the interloper kitty and she isn’t a fan.  For a while I wasn’t allowed to pet my Mango if my hands smelled like my dog Jasmine haha.  My other bun Kiwi was like More Pets for Me!

Happy Birthday Toesie Bunnito and Meatsie Loafie Meatloaf! The fluffiness is to die for

So cute! Welcome

I am so happy you have your buns home!!  I wish I would have been on here back when you started having issues – I live in NH so I am not a terrible distance from Mass.  Oh well – all things worked out well!

Look at how fluffy!!! I would pet him for hours

Molting is a major trigger. I have an 8 month old bun who refused food and  treats a few weeks ago. Totally out of character, ske luuurves food. I treated asap with 1 ml simeticone baby gas drops, and she was back to normal gluttony after about an hour. She had just started her first major shed.

Its not fully understood why molting rabbits are…[Read more]

Ugh that’s awful. I’m so sorry. 🙁

And by separation, it’s hard to say. If the fight and injuries were really bad, itusually means not able to see each other at all. But if the fighting wasn’t horrendous (and they seem to have calmed down already) I think they could be OK side by side, maybe with a visual barrier? You could hang a blanket or a …[Read more]

By full separation, does this mean not the current set up where they can see/sniff each other? Or is it ok to keep this setup but just never had them out together and not trying any bonding?

I’ve tried forcing them together in attempts for smoosh but BUN1 just freezes. I literally thought he died once from one of his freezes. They can actually …[Read more]

Cooper is pretty young still! He was found outside by the rescue so not 100% sure, but estimate around 2? He was prob about 5 -6 months when they found him.

Hmmm, that’s a tough situation. I’m sorry to hear you are still sick. 🙁

It can be really challenging to bond when one rabbit is very fearful. In those cases, stressing (car rides) and small space tactics don’t seem to work very well (my observation from my own experience and others on the forum), because it can lead to the bunnies making a kind…[Read more]

Actually, I’m 99% certain mine caught covid from me due to his symptoms and behavior as well as my own symptoms (there’s a lot more background/story) and there are confirmed rabbit case(s) outside of labs.

That said, it is extremely rare.

I’ve always adopted buns for the buns themselves, not for myself. The first ones to give someone a good home, while the others to be companions for the other buns (~7 total thus far). The only part I play is, what can I handle? Main thing I ask myself is, if the bun’s life will be better with me or at the shelter.
