Oh no problem, that makes sense!! I will definitely share photos of the ones we adopt!!

Oh that’s a great idea! I had tried ivory soap and lemon oil and neither had really worked that well, so I’ll try this next!

Glad to hear they are doing well!

Sorry I had to remove the picture, on the forum we only allow baby pics if the poster will be keeping them (to discourage intentional breeding etc.), but once you have picked out the ones you are keeping we’d love to see pictures of them!

Hey everyone! Thanks as always for the continued advice. We also got some great info from a local rabbit rescue up in Maine. I am back down in Boston now but the whole family is doing super well! Everyone seems healthy and happy and my friend has converted the room into a bunny palace. They have begun running around and exploring for the last few…[Read more]

Oh and I nearly forgot. I helped my friend set up appointments with a real rabbit vet. Jupiter and the babies will all be seen at the beginning of January once the babies are a month old, as per the doctor’s instructions!

I agree with the others.

My one lion head despises being picked up. That said, he’s got such a close bond with me he literally follows me around the house to the point where he must be in the room I’m in 😆 Hopefully that is added reassurance for you that it’s completely possible to have a very close bond with your bunnies and them still…[Read more]

Just weeks now, Dana 😀 So happy for you!

I totally agree, it would be much easier to just have it be a one-and-done vaccine, but I’ll be thrilled to have them protected against RHDV regardless. I hope they approve it for you soon! I know that a lot of clinics are carrying now that it’s been approved in so many states, which is fantastic, so hopefully we can protect all of our babies! I’l…[Read more]

For sure, so many people are shocked when I tell them how nasty rabbits will fight. I think going thru this with Ruby and Maxwell my friends are starting to understand a little, but yeah using someone’s garage is one way for them to see 🙂  We aren’t kidding when we say they need constant supervision haha.

I totally get it! I was nervous when mine got their first shots, even though I knew the vaccine was super safe!

There are some things about the Medgene one I don’t love (like it requiring a booster a few weeks later), but I am really excited about the fact that it doesn’t require the sacrifice of any live rabbits in production. I really wish they…[Read more]

I really hope so too, so fingers crossed. I am off work for two weeks starting Dec. 23, so might just see how they’re acting and start some pre-bonding etc. before things get busy again in January. But I’m going to give them a bit of time with the barrier walled-off as you suggest.

They did seem a little sad/off today, so that will definitely…[Read more]

Oh man, yeah unless someone has experienced bonding they really don’t get it. I think a lot of people don’t really understand how badly rabbits can hurt each other because they are so cute. All my close friends know allll about it though at this point though! LOL Especially the ones whose garage I used on a 5 day marathon with Bun Jovi and Bertha!

Thank you all so much! The overwhelming opinion seems to be that most rabbits do very, very well with the vaccine. I also totally agree that the risk of problems with the vaccine is very tiny, while the risk of RHDV is huge. I’m sure my boys will be totally fine- I will watch them for the evening and make sure they don’t have problems. Their app…[Read more]

They are soooo stinking cute! What a lovely update, and I love the embroidery you did!

And you are so right about that young bunny energy! I was super spoiled by Bun Jovi, Myra, and Bonnie… they never got into trouble or tried to destroy anything. Then I brought home young Cooper, and oh man! I had forgotten what it was like having a young male…[Read more]

Thanks for the quick responses! It was an odd hour where the vet was about to close and the ER is 2 hours away so I was worried about him getting bad before morning.

To my knowledge, yes they were all Medgene vaccines. I don’t think any other are available in our area.

That makes perfect sense.  Thankfully they are building some better trust now. Ruby still nipped even today but still not pulling fur and a lot less often.

It’s so great that you understand the struggle,  no one I know gets it! A couple times I asked my mom to help and she says yes but later is like ” when we meet do you want to go for a walk?” A…[Read more]
