Thank you for your reply. Ah I see, it’s interesting how the outdoor environments are triggering natural instincts in him.

Okay, I won’t take him out unless I really need to. I’m in Australia but similar disease exists for bunnies here.

Thanks!

Thanks Dana, have separated them and hopefully they can rebonded again .

Oh my! I’m in the same situation with yours! But can I ask is it better to have a trios of all 3 bucks or 1 doe 2 bucks? It’s sad tho.. because we’re in the similar situation, i felt bad for how my coming to be third bunny is treated! And p.s is both of your bucks already bonded? Will their bond break if you bond them with the third bunny?

-I have layers and layers of fleece blankets laid down in her exercise area.

-3 layers of fleece blankets, with memory foam bath mats underneath, on the hard tray in her cage.
-nail trims current and very regular by the vet. -Hours of exercise when I’m home.

please check out my new forum for a progress update with pictures. I could really use some more advice/opinions. I couldn’t add pictures on here again

She can, I’ve tried a litter box with a high rim that was hooded, didn’t work, I tried those same boxes without the hood, still no. Now I bought low rim hooded and she still pees. But I have doubts it’s because she can reach the hay because she also pees beside, behind and right on the corner of the carpet almost 2 feet away from the litter boxes.…[Read more]

LOL @ baby bunnies not having great instincts, I’m so happy mine survived that phase of bravery, it was terrible but yes @ the quietness!!! I always have a fan on as white noise, when it’s too quiet, my bunny jumps at every sound.

When something scares her, she’s usually jumpy for a while, so I talk to her before I get up or when I’m walking…[Read more]

Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to answer!

So her daily diet consists of hay (Timothy hay, it’s available to her at all times) and twice a day I give her extra hay + veggies (an assortment of dark leafy greens) + pellets (Oxbow brand). Her fur is super soft but not shiny! Like I said, she enjoys cuddling and eating food. She hasn’t los…[Read more]

So for anybody whose interested- Harper has a trichoblastoma. A benign tumour that is slow growing and doesn’t typically spread.

The vet wants $1075.00 CAD to remove it. Which I am not going to do, I will be monitoring it instead. He is turning 7 in December, they did mention there is a risk with surgery due to his age and being put under a…[Read more]

As weird as it sounds, sometimes restricting a bun’s space for part of the day can make them more active the rest of the day. So you could pen her while she normally sleeps, and then during active hours of the day (like morning and evening), open the pen to let her roam around. Usually the bun will run around exploring more when you do this.

Its not really safe to take her outside when RVHD is spreading. Hopefully you’ll be able to get the vaccine eventually, but in many places in the USA, that’s still in the future. Outside time has other hazards as well, unless you have a completely fenced-in garden and no (or very few) birds of pray in your area.

In order to activate your bun, you…[Read more]

Alternating between different types of hay can encourage buns to est more hay. Even alternating between different brands or cuts can help make a bun more interested. Variation also means the bun gets a broader spectrum of nutrients than if they eat the same hay all the time.

I agree with Dana that dental health is worth looking into. Nethies have…[Read more]

You can give her probiotics, a type of supplement that adds and helps the growth of good gut microbes. It might be possible for you to order Benebac from abroad, in case your country doesnt sell it in stores or online. Benebac has some of the bacteria that young rabbits might be lacking in if they have been weaned too young. It’s sold in the very…[Read more]
