Thank you so much for all your replies.

I decided I’ll build trust first, and then train him to tolerate being picked up.

Tell me if I’m wrong, but I’ll give my advice to those who are in a similar situation.

For grooming, I basically lure him on a pillow or anything hard really and lift him up on an elevated surface, their he’s scared and…[Read more]

I don’t have any experience with euthanasia, although I’ve sadly had a few rabbits pass away. Two of them were very traumatic and it was clear the buns were in a lot of pain, so I wish I had been able to help them pass more peacefully, although their deaths were so sudden it would never have been on my mind.

I know that Bladesmith just went…[Read more]

I totally agree that there shouldn’t any guilt involved with throwing in the towel. Buns get a lot of benefits from having another bun as a neighbor, even if they aren’t bonded, and Wick is right that having established set-ups vs the sea of pens and fencing that you end up with during bonding!

When I was having a super hard time with Bun Jovi…[Read more]

Generally speaking, I think soybeans and corn are the worst in terms of fillers.

In case there’s reluctance to give up due to any feelings of guilt or something, fear not — it happens and two single rabbits can still have wonderful lives. My Wick and Fable live separated permanently (as of now) after failed bonding. There was a time they could share the free roam space, but it didn’t hold and ultimately Wick just doesn’t want…[Read more]

It is unfortunate that the new rabbits’ presence have strained your bonded pair, and that is something that happens at times. In both scenarios (trying to do 2 bonded pairs and trying to do a quad), you could end up with singles — it really depends on how they all mesh together.

Is there any way you can house the pairs in more separated areas?…[Read more]

Which is better to avoid. I don’t want to feed one that’s not good for them.

I’m so sorry 🙁 , sweet feisty little Dawn. I’ve often joked that Nethies compensate for their tiny ear size with their big personalities, and I think Dawn fits my theory well!

Oh that’s so funny about the garlic! I tried it out with Cooper and it’s worked a charm so far, hopefully he doesn’t develop at taste for it!

And great news Re: spaying!

Thanks everyone!

Aww, there’s Bonnie!

I just got the news today: the vet found her not too old to be spayed. Whew! She’s scheduled for the third week of February.

You know the anti-chewing tip that I posted here, rubbing surfaces with a clove of garlic because they hate the smell? Well, they’re not chewing anymore, they found out that they like the taste and started licking it……[Read more]

Oh no, that’s awful 😥 Poor Joji, this was such an awful end. I really hope that you didn’t suffer much. May you binky on forever!

She was such a beauty, and a spirited one at that! I’m so sorry to hear that her time came 😥

In her worst moments she also got closer to you instead of secluding herself. This tells so much about your special bond!

It’s very touching when your bunnies are so adored by the vets. They see so much misery. When they see beautiful happy bunnies…[Read more]

They have such a beautiful space now! Congratulations on having the family together again at last! ^_^

I’ll leave you to your busy schedule of catching up with all the cuddles 😉

Congrats on your new home and having your kids home!!
