She has maybe 3 little hidey holes, and she had a dig bog till she destroyed it and covered my entire office in bedding lol One of her hidey holes is one of those pop up pens you can get at like petco or five below in my case lol. It has old sheets and blankets for her to burrow in.

Ugh, my bun was a AWFUL digger. She bit our couch a few times and ruined it (my husband was not happy). I tired everything like you but it didn’t really get better until after she was spay.
Have you tried a dig box or a hidey? I have a hidey in my buns x pen and they go to town on it lol they dug a whole through the back. I tried a dig box but s…[Read more]

I was also wondering if the majority of buns who groom their owners are single buns. My very first bunny I had use to groom me ALL the time. She was my first pet and we had a very close bond. My other buns didn’t groom me, ever. One use to nudge my hand with his head so I would pet him. He would flop by me on the floor but never groomed me.

The easiest solution here is to place the hay rack so that your rabbit has to sit in the litter box to access it.

An Update. Banni (yeah, that is his name) – had quite a bit if pellets yesterday in the night. Today, he has had very little. But he has been quite active since morning. Almost his usual self. Still sitting hunched when we put him in his cage. So its a mixed bag – but it is in the +ve direction. Lets keep fingers crossed.

Thanks for the advice on…[Read more]

Funny enough he has one of my old stuffed animals that he grooms regularly and sleeps with all the time! Maybe it’s the texture or that it smells like me who knows!

Thanks a bunch! I checked him and he feels fine so that puts my mind at ease. If i have any more concerns about his weight I will likely take him to the vet but for now all is well

Okay thank you! When I got him my original goal was pellet free from the get go but could I give him about a tablespoon a day in addition to his veggies (i give 2 cups of those since he is abt 4lbs)

I should add that she has A CRAP ton of toys and chews. Shes played with daily, and shes even learning tricks!

Azerane is correct – that pinkish stuff is actually the eye discharge. The fact that it was pink was what worried me the most initially, since my buns do get the occasional eye boogers like people do. But I’ve never seen eye discharge like that. He did end up going to an emergency vet on Saturday and he’s currently taking 3 meds to help with an…[Read more]

Hi Dana,

Rascal is doing much better. After I wiped away this pink gunk, his eye continued to weep throughout the night (though it was clear in color). I finally couldn’t stomach the idea of waiting it out until his vet was back in the office so we drove across the state to the closest animal hospital that would see a rabbit. He’s being treated…[Read more]

It seems to vary a lot between rabbits. My previous rabbit Bandit used to lick me after I petted him as mutual grooming. He started that after a few months of owning him. My current pair I’ve had for over five years, and neither of them has ever licked me a single time. In their case they probably get their fill in that area from grooming each…[Read more]

Thanks guys, I guess that photo doesn’t look too bad at all but it’s actually very red the skin itself.

but yeh I’ll try giving it a wash with saline thank you I might still take him to the vet later to just see what they say as the consults are free anyway at the normal vets so no harm there but it makes me feel better that you don’t think i…[Read more]

If it was me, I would be making an appointment with the exotics vet for 2 weeks away, rinse the eye with saline solution (do not wipe or rub it). If the eye is worse tomorrow then see the regular vet. If it’s still a problem in two weeks you already have the exotic vet appointment 🙂 You can always cancel the exotic appointment if you don’t end up…[Read more]
