Hmmm… New Year’s Resolutions.

Provide better pet enrichment

Go outside more

try to argue less, I’m bad at that lol

Who else stayed up last night and watch the ball drop live stream? Was anybody actually there? I wasn’t, I just watched the live stream. Part of it, at least. When do you think you will get your buns back, @DanaNM ?

Yes, it almost feels too good to be true at this point! I even woke up to them cuddled like a foot from my face this morning 🙂

Ruby actually chewed through the zipper on one of the carriers but I do have a small second holder/crate thing. She will probably chew more of whatever one up is the problem. Maybe Maxwell would be less likely to claim…[Read more]

Awwww yay! Happy New Year! I am counting down the days till I get my grumpy grandpa back! Only 10 now!

I don’t really have a resolution. I saw a meme that said it was the year’s turn to improve, LOL!

But if I had to make one, it would be to snuggle my bunnies even MORE.

Thanks for the update! Hopefully things will go smoothly!

That’s really wonderful! They look great together!

That sounds sooo great! I definitely would try to do one more night in that space to really cement the good behaviors.

Rather than leave Ruby alone and remove Max (even though it would probably be fine….), to be safer could you just put them in separate carriers while you shower and handle whatever things you need to do? That way neither bun…[Read more]

Agree with Wick! I would work on doing long sessions in the neutral space first. Once you get to sessions that are many hours long (including a possible overnight) without issues, then they will be more ready for semi-neutral.

If you are regularly seeing fur on the ground, that isn’t normal, and indicates there is an issue with their bond. I would start by checking over all the bunnies very thoroughly for injuries (feel for scabs, they can be hard to see).

Separating the one getting bullied is a good first step. if you can separate them in a way where they can still…[Read more]

One of my girls Hero *loves* to eat anything rubber – those big rubber doorstop / protector things you find attached to the wall are her favourite. However, she will also go for rubber protectors at the bottom of drying racks as a second option!

I am not sure what breed your rabbits are, but they look very sweet : ) Wish you lots of luck with them, this is a great forum for any questions you have and it has helped me a lot.

A cucumber banana smoothie is a great idea!

Thank you, this is very useful advice!

Yes the new space was ‘semi-neutral’ – Hero had been in there but not to that specific part of the room. We hoovered and removed her items from it before putting them in, but I think you are right this may have affected how the bonding went.

I put them back in the old kitchen zone and much of the tension…[Read more]

Good rule of thumb is stick to what works — I think expanding in the old bonding space where you saw progress is a good idea, rather than rushing into a space and potentially hurting the relationship currently built-up.

This “new space” that you tried and it didn’t work out — is it semi-neutral (i.e., both rabbits have been exposed to it; not…[Read more]

So after 2.5 days of syringe feeding her water and her dribbling it out I have tried giving her wet veg which works, very wet DIY critical care (which she eats but she is eating on her own so this isn’t the preferred method for hydration). I tried spiking her water with juice but that didn’t work!

I have been giving her a slice of cucumber a day…[Read more]
