The new room sounds like it was positive! I agree they could have just been getting bored and antsy in the ottoman.

So, you don’t necessarily need to do the 24 hour thing. My first pair I did 6-8 hr sessions in neutral until they were acting bonded. Then I did the cementing in a semi-neutral space (just started with an overnight there), separated…[Read more]

The saga continues. We had one session in the ottoman Friday which wasn’t great. Ruby started nipping and chasing him back and forth. (after cuddling a while ). So I pet them and they did a little face cuddle, so hopefully she apologized. Still no hard nipping at least, but I was thinking maybe they are getting sick of the ottoman. We took…[Read more]

@MyLilBunBuns, this is a very old thread. We ask our members to not revive old threads. You are of course very welcome to start threads of your own and engage in the currently active threads 😊 Im locking this thread now.

I’ve lost 3 rabbits in my lifetime. So when I see one of my rabbits all stretched out n they’re side, I freak out and check on them immediately. Turns out they’re just resting lol. They cause me so much stress but it’s worth it to have such great pets.

You want at least a whole 24 hours as you need to observe how they do through an entire cycle of a day, where their energies are gonna fluctuate with each other.

wooo so yesterday I had a 3-4 hour bonding well basically 6 hours but it’s in two different sessions on the same day,,yeah so both of them are well! they have been eating,cuddling,and just seems to not want to part away from each other,,,and so far throughout the whole sessions today,they kept flopping and sleeping just basically doing that so I…[Read more]

Thanks Azerane <3 I’m definitely counting down the days.

Yeah we only had enough for a 5% downpayment, but with how low the interest rates are it worked out OK.

I agree with Bam, they probably do sense something is wrong. It can be heartbreaking to watch but it is an instinctive response.

Hopefully Crispin improves after his vet visit. Simple thing like ear infections can cause loss of balance, as can things like EC, which can flare up when a bun is immune compromised.

Yes, it’s instinctive for them to distance themselves from a sick rabbit. Not because they suddenly dislike the sick one. They do it because a sick rabbit might draw unwanted attention from predators.

haha!

People don’t NEED ice cream…wait, what??

Thanks for the replies. Their hay intake could be better, so I’ll scale back

I’m very sorry about Crispin. It’s likely that your girls sense that something is wrong with him. Sometimes rabbits attack a sick rabbit that they have been friends with for a long time. A sick individual might draw the attention of predators, which means that it’s not good for other rabits to be near a sick individual.

It’s very sad though, but…[Read more]

It looks like a seizure to me too. You should make a vet appointment. It’s very good that you have this on film so you can show it to your vet.

E cuniculi is probably the most common cause for seizures but as LBJ also says, it’s not the only possible cause.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I can imagine how stressful it must be for you, not just for the rabbits but to not feel safe in your own home is a terrible feeling.

At least you have not long to go and you have a way out 🙂 I am so done with renting and want nothing more than to purchase a home so that we can have whatever pets we…[Read more]

It looks like a seizure to me. Does she have any other symptoms? EC comes to mind, but there are other things that can cause seizures as well.
