That’s the nice thing about keep a record here, it can be hard to tell if any progress is being made sometimes!
sometimes slippery floors are a good thing… they can make them less likely to chase!

I’m glad it sounds good to you, I keep questioning if we are making any real progress or just getting good days because they are tired or something 🙂 It all blurs together and hard to tell at times what has changed and what is still just back and forth.
Thanks, I’ll try and figure something out for the floor. I think the laminate alone would be…[Read more]

Oooh the slowly scooting closer to cuddle is really good! And I agree, her backing off with less and less intervention is really good too. Eating means she’s getting more relaxed around him, all good things.
Hmmm, as for the rug, it’s hard to say, but my hunch would be it would still smell familiar. I would prob remove it, or try covering it with…[Read more]

Two more sessions down! The one yesterday had me pretty bummed out. Ruby did a lot of chasing/grunt / nip (no hard nipping or Maxwell fighting back though), and caused Maxwell to back off and they mostly ignored each other between the “tiffs”. It was disappointing especially since early in the session Maxwell already was grooming Ruby, he let her…[Read more]

I went to the vet today to cut my rabbit’s nails, and I made a last-minute decision to also get vaccinated for rhdv2 and microchipped. Needless to say, she was extremely angry with me when she got home..
As soon as I put her down, she thumped twice and ran under the bed. A few minutes later, she came out and went to her litter box, faced away f…[Read more]

Omg what a cutie!! Thank you for rescuing him! Welcome Bert!
There is tons of great info here for new rabbit owners, especially about diet, housing, bunny-proofing, etc: https://binkybunny.com/house-rabbit-information/
As a rule, antibiotics should only be given when prescribed by an experienced rabbit-savvy vet, because rabbits have a pretty…[Read more]

Hi and very welcome to the BB forums!
Bert is adorable! Thank you for rescuing him! He’s a lucky little guy!
As for a bunny first aid kit, simethicone baby gas drops are probably the most useful first-intervention med. Normal wound care stuff is also great to have, as well as nail clippers and a good brush and/ or hairbuster comb for molting…[Read more]

Welcome, and hello Bert! Welcome to BinkyBunny! He looks so wonderful in the hands of a caring owner — even has a cupcake, haha.
For rabbits, we don’t really recommend having medications on hand since dosing and treatment recommendations are most safe guided by a veterinarian’s assessment of a rabbit. There are even some OTC medications for dogs…[Read more]

I think solid grid panels can be nice, or regular grids that you hang fabric on or something so it’s like a nice, decorative room trim!

OOof, that is so frustrating!! That’s great the vet checked them over already to make sure they didn’t have fly strike, that would be my main concern.
I am guessing that the worms were fly larvae that living in their waste that had been accumulating. I would double check their hind ends to make extra sure there aren’t any larvae there and keep…[Read more]

Recently I left my two bunnies in the care of my sister as I was traveling far away by car (8hour drive) and didn’t want to put them in that stressful situation. I had given my sister full instructions on how to care for them and what to do.

DanaNM replied to the topic Jealousy or Territorial? Please help! in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 8 months ago
Hi there, welcome 🙂
So, did you go through the bonding process with them when you reintroduced them? Baby rabbits do not bond in the true sense of the word, even when they are related. When puberty hits, and then again with neutering, the hormonal changes mean that it’s common for them to start fighting.
You can read about bonding here:Â …[Read more]

Hi! So I have two lil bunnies, Rudyard and Oscar. They’re brothers and most of the time, a dream.
They’ve been recently neutered, and have been reintroduced. They now play together, eat together, groom each other, sleep together. Except…

I’ve seen some people get this mini white-picket fencing and line the baseboards with that. I thought it looked very cute and functional!
Other things I’ve seen are to attach panels of wood (meant to be chewed) or acrylic plastic over the base of the walls.
