There could definitely be a health issue. Unaltered bunnies will often bite each other’s privates, especially when there’s mounting involved, so maybe he had an injury or something?. I would definitely get them checked out by a vet, you will need to anyway at some point to have the surgery. Vets typically require a health check prior to anesthesia.

I’m not quite sure what you’re describing. Does he completely fall over? Or is he pushing your hand backward with his head?

If he has his jewels, then you’re technically good to go. Boys can be neutered as soon as their testicles drop. If he’s super tiny, the vet may want to wait until he is a little bigger. But that really depends on the vet and how confident they are neutering a rabbit.

Personally, I love to go for car rides when things regress in bonding. I also like to lay both buns between my legs and kind of squeeze them together while I pet them. If one tries to leave, just keep your hand on top of them. Table bonding, or laying both bunnies on a table while petting them has similar results. Banana on the forehead to…[Read more]

DanaNM’s advice is excellent and I can’t add much to it, but I do hear your overwhelm.  It’s true that bunny vet bills can be expensive and I’d hate for you and Teddy to be in a stressful situation where you fear you can’t afford whatever it is that he needs done (if the good advice Dana gave doesn’t feel like it would cover it in your…[Read more]

Welcome to BB! This thread is from 2018. I don’t think we have heard from this member since, so we don’t know what the outcome was. If you have questions about bonding, you are welcome to start your own thread. I’m going to lock this thread so as to not cause confusion. We try to discourage people from reviving old threads.

I’m following this because I’m in a similar situation. My bunny lost her eye recently and I’d like to bond her.

Yes, sometimes if you use your fingers to pick at the mats, they just think you’re grooming their face (like another rabbit would).

Sadly I don’t have any painkillers. He’s been pooping normally, he would still get up to eat hay but then he just lays. I’m a little bit unsure about giving him more pellets (even though I would really like to), but the vet strictly said just 1 spoon, not more, because of live regeneration.

Until today he was at least eating lettuce, too, but…[Read more]

I would give a little more pellets – not as much as before, but it’s best to wean a rabbit slowly. They could starve if the’re suddenly put on nearly all hay. Do you have a painkiller for him? If he is grinding his teeth he is in pain.
