I have got 3 pens, well, 3 of everything :). One for each bun and then a third one that’s for the bonding sessions. Less moving things around, especially if it’s going to be a long process.

Update to any who are interested:

I use this forum for help as I love the moderators and general suggestions we get, but always forget to update.

Maxwell is still with us! I made a separate post about bonding.

We decided to wait on giving Revolution mostly because we had issues in accessing it near us. His thin fur is definitely just his…[Read more]

Grade 1 sore hocks

There are creams you can get from vet and also over the counter ones that supposedly helps; never seemed to help my buns but my buns feet never got worse.

Do those spots seem to cause him pain? From the photo, it looks a little pink, but not red or open/sore.

The reason I ask is, I had a mini rex who had a small spot like that on the back of one of her back feet, but never caused her pain and never seemed to cause any issues. It was almost like a calous. She also had lots of soft spots to sit on,…[Read more]

Oh that may be what it is. I can’t really tell either, for some reason I couldn’t get a clear photo of it. But my older rabbit had these before and they turned into really bad sores. I’m not sure how he could have possibly gotten them though. So callus makes a bit more sense haha

It’s hard to tell from the picture. Is there an actual sore? This almost looks like a callus.

If the cord is close enough to the barrier, they always seem to find a way to get it through the bars.

Yes, I tried switching their litterboxes but that’s about it.

Thank you for the reassurance about if I need to rehome him, I would feel very guilty.

We decided to go forward with attempting to bond (the right way this time!).

I think we will get a second pen for this reason exactly! We had baby gates but Gus chewed through them and without a second pen it’s impossible to separate them at the moment.

Ok, I have shower curtains for them already.

Almost all the girls I’ve had are destructo-maniacs. I keep saying, no more girls… Omg, as I was typing this, she killed my laptop charger. It was “blocked off” but stuck her nose/mouth in and in a 2secs, dead.

I was thinking that, too. Maybe you could cover it with something old or a shower curtain/vinyl tablecloth when you aren’t able to supervise.

She sounds like our girl, Georgia. I’m pretty sure nothing makes her happier than destruction lol! If I scold her for chewing something she shouldn’t, she skips and binkies away, like its a game. We always…[Read more]

There’s the old shower curtain trick. It’s used for bunnies that like the pee on the bed, but I think it would work for digging too. Or at least it would slow her down enough that you would have time to intervene.

It can be challenging to find neutral space with a free roam bun, so sometimes you have to think outside the box. I’ve had good luck in the past with using the bathtub (although a shower stall would work, too, if you can block off the front). Its just awkward and stressful enough that it encourages the buns to seek comfort from one another. And it…[Read more]
