It couldn’t hurt her to get some more hay in her, maybe a break from pellets will be good for her

@Bladesmith Haha! Mine has never been to keen on windows

I’ll try taking the top off and see if that helps

So, she doesn’t really binky. I’ve seen her binky only a few times. She’s got the space to do it, but she never does. Maybe that’s osteoarthritis…?

Thanks for the advice! I’ll book a spay (with blood work and the x-ray) tomorrow

I had one or two other question.

It’s a new one and he’s currently free roam in the living room. I don’t want to change too much things since everytime I do, it seems to take him time to adjust. How long does it normally take for a rabbit to trust a new home ? He seem so scared of every corner in the room and I’m like man, you’ve been here a week…[Read more]

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!

(((Binky free Dawn)))

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!
