I agree, she’s being a moody teenager! She also sounds like a feisty Nethie, which is why we love em!

What is your daily routine with her like? Most rabbits don’t enjoy being picked up, so if you are picking her up every day that could start to make her upset.

With many rabbits, it works really well to play “hard to get”. Spend time with her,…[Read more]

That’s great they are doing better in the bathroom!!

I agree with Wick, if they are doing well in the current situation, don’t change anything for 24 hours. Then you can try adding a litter box and see how that goes.  It’s important that the box is new, or really really clean. If it doesn’t cause issues you are on the right track! If it causes…[Read more]

Great job with them so far!

So, it sounds like they’ve been together for about 3 days straight and they are doing great?

I’ve often struggled with having a “semi neutral” space, so what I’ve usually done is just spent a bit longer in the neutral space just to make sure things are really really cemented with them. If it works out for you, you…[Read more]

I agree with LBJ10. If he’s acting otherwise completely normal then he is probably fine. I actually think light poos are also very healthy, the colour sometimes just indicates what they’ve eaten, lighter usually means more hay consumption whereas darker can suggests richer food consumed. For example if my boy is eating lots of Timothy his poops…[Read more]

Thank you so much. I woke up and he did poop overnight, but they were similar to the small ones that I was finding last night before going to bed. This morning he is running around and eating tons of hay, poops still very light in color and some much smaller than others. Hopefully it will get back to normal soon when he finished molting. I guess…[Read more]

Yeah, I wouldn’t give more veggies than you normally would. But wetting them first certainly won’t hurt anything. I like Bam’s suggestion of breaking them up into smaller portions so they don’t wilt.

I wouldn’t stress about it. He’s pooping. That’s what matters.

Myth busted 😃! Thank you for checking! Its great to know, there are a gazillion myths around, and then there’s a gazillion  things that seem a bit strange but aren’t myths at all.

So I did a bit more research on the topic..come to find out it’s a myth! I’m sorry about that, I was miss-informed  🙁

I have heard that wet veggies could cause tummy issues(meaning excessively wet not meaning the dampness like they usually come out of the fridge as)  , this could be false and if so I apologize!

I just gave him another good brush and got another decently sized handful of fur off of him. He doesn’t LOOK like he’s shedding anymore, but I think it’s all coming from the lower layers of his coat, so it’s not visible until you actually start brushing. Do you think there’s anything else that I should be doing? He’s acting totally fine right…[Read more]

He is pooping regularly, they’re just those small dry ones. I really hope they go back to normal soon.

Thank you! He’s totally normal otherwise, so I hope they go back to normal soon.

Her behavior sounds very normal for a teenage, unspayed bunny. Bunnies naturally like to dig… but insisting on digging ON you is more of a hormonal thing. Her “unfriendliness” is also driven by hormones. She isn’t interested in being petted, she is interested in establishing her territory and hopefully finding a mate. These behaviors will likely…[Read more]

I wouldn’t worry. If your bunny is still eating plenty of hay, then he’s probably just a little dehydrated or is still feeling the effects of the molt. Stress can also cause small poops.

Yes, you could certainly try Children’s Benedryl. It would at least help dry things up in there.

I have 2 buns that I feed a pellet free diet.  We have been pellet free for 5 or 6 months now.  My female rabbit would go insane for pellets and wouldn’t eat enough hay, she was also getting quite chunky so after a lot of research this was the path I chose.  The problem obviously with pellet free diets is to ensure you provide all the necessary nu…[Read more]
