I’ve always top up his hay throughout the day and completely changed his hay right before bed. He used to eat on and off at night but not anymore.
by the way he’s currently boarding at my friends house. My friend reported the same thing: not really eating anything at night but pretty good in the day time.

Okay. Thank you for giving me helpful information.

Their litter habits will be greatly improved upon 1) Hope getting spayed and 2) once they are both properly bonded. As of now, you likely have two rabbits territorially marking in response to each other/hormones (the presence of a rabbit not formally bonded to another/an intact rabbit can facilitate hormonal behaviors in an already fixed rabbit).

We are getting Hope spayed in a week or two. I am sorry I mentioned breeding. Hope and Patches are both females.

Since this is a house rabbit pet forum which encourages rescue and discourages breeding (and the topic of intentional breeding is prohibited), I have omitted some content from your topic for its approval.

I would use pine bedding, or aspen bedding if possible.

As Wick says, this is a regular (and very cute) molt patch. It’s simply the new fur coming in. Sometimes you see completely bald spots in a shedding rabbit, but within 1 max 2 weeks or so, you can feel the new hair growth and then you see it. Your rabbit has banded hair, meaning the individual hairs are differently colored along their lenght. The…[Read more]

Did your vet do blood work? If you suspect there may be something internally wrong that would be my next step. I also agree with Bam that an x-ray of the mouth could be informative.

I think separating the buns while giving them their pellets will help a lot, as will increasing her ration to the highest recommended for her ideal weight. I also…[Read more]

I would reccomend booking an appointment with a rabbit savvy vet. Like Bam said, a rabbit savvy vet wouldn’t reccomend to give carrots to your rabbit. A rabbit savvy vet can determine that there are any dental problems going on with Boo.

Feeding her alfalfa hay is a good idea. It has lots of nutrients and protein. I would reccomend feeding her a…[Read more]

That is a regular molt patch — no need to worry.

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!
