Thank you very much ❤️ i was worried that my bun would catch it from me and let’s be honest I cannot go without petting her for like a week or so 😥

That’s so cute he licked your face!

My best advice for bonding with bunnies is to “play hard to get”. Since they are prey animals, being watched all the time makes them feel like they could be in danger. Hang out on the floor with him and just let him come to you and explore (and ignore him when he does). It sounds like you are doing all the…[Read more]

How long has it been since their spay/neuter?

Also, can you describe their litter box and cage set up?

There’s some detailed info on litter box training here: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/litterbox-training/

I’ve noticed that pooping and peeing just outside the box can be due to the box being too small, or them sitting in the box and…[Read more]

Welcome and thank you for adopting this bunny!

Buns can definitely be a bit picky about pellets, especially if they are used to eating a brand that is more calorie-dense.

Here’s some info that will help you read the labels and decide: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Pellets

The main thing is to look for a pellet that has at least 18-20% fiber, so…[Read more]

It looks like it could be fur mites, cheyltiella parasitovorax.

It’s a very common parasite in rabbits. Luckily it’s easy to treat. Revolution (selamectin) spot-on or ivermectin (injections) are both bunny safe antiparasitics. They’re prescription only in most countries. Normally you do two rounds of treatment with some time apart.

(While we’re…[Read more]

Hello! I am currently changing my bunnies pellets too, but instead of them being picky it’s me, lol. I know oxbow, small pet select, and Sherwood are all good brands. I don’t know if those are available where you are though. You could try and add some herb mix to his pellets to try and make it more appetizing. Hay is the main part of their diet,…[Read more]

I’m glad everything is better now, your bunnies are so lucky to have you! Sorry, I’m late to this.

Thanks Az!

I’m so sorry for your loss, how shocking and horrible. 🙁

Are you in an area with RHDV2? In any sudden death that is the first thing that comes to my mind. If you have other rabbits, they would be at risk as well because it’s extremely contagious. There is some info about it here:…[Read more]

@Azerane: oh gross, that’s always such a cleanup 🙁 I hope that they’ve left the rabbits alone. Some rabbits have a very thick coat and the fleas have problems getting through.

The cats have fleas! 🙁 We noticed them getting itchy about 2 weeks ago, I checked their coats and couldn’t find a thing so put it down to their extreme summer shed this year. I’ve checked their coats intermittently since then and still found nothing. Today I checked Jasiri immediately after she licked her shoulder and I found a suspicious speck…[Read more]

Absolutely wonderful news, and congrats on your new home 🙂

Rabbits as a rule don’t binky very much when they’re older. Can she still jump up on things with ease?

I just wanted to add that if cilantro or parsley or other herbs or lettuce get a little wilted, you can perk them up by soaking them in very cold water for like 15 min. It won’t make them green if they’ve gone yellow of course, but if they’re just “limp” it works. If the herbs have started to go a little yellow, you can lay them out on f ex…[Read more]

I don’t think buns can catch COVID-19 from people, but it’s transmissible through touch so she can carry it on her fur, and make other people sick. Also I would wash my hands with soap before and after handling her, just in case. Some random sources say absolutely do not touch and cuddle them, but honestly I’ve had COVID and cuddled my buns and it…[Read more]
