@Ernesttherabbit Thank you for your answer. This is a really interesting topic! How lucky your bun is to have come to such understanding humans 🙂
This is however a quite old thread, and the original posters might not be active on the forums currently. I will close the thread, but please feel free to start a new topic on the subject, and/or just…[Read more]

Ernesttherabbit replied to the topic Do rabbits have OCD? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 9 months ago
Late answer, but rabbits can have OCD. However, what you are describing is normal rabbit behaviour. OCD in rabbits often has triggers such as stress or trauma.
Our rescue rabbit has OCD and it usually manifests as excessive grooming, obsessively licking his paws at least three times before he stands up, obsessive drinking rituals, and compulsive…[Read more]

Ernesttherabbit started the topic Rabbit OCD – Excessive Drinking in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 9 months ago
I have a lovely rabbit named Ernest, he is quite old now, and within the last few months he has started drinking excessively. The original cause for this was a UTI that he had and was treated. However, the drinking continued.
He has had detailed urine samples and blood tests with no irregularities found and he is otherwise entirely healthy and…[Read more]

Cheap isn’t always a bad thing. I got my bunny spayed for only 90 dollars, by a very experienced person, rabbit surgery was all she did. You would just need to make sure that they are experienced.

Eureka!!!!!! I did as some of you suggested and called one of our rabbit rescues who put me in touch with a vet. If any of you live in the Phoenix metro area the name is Van Aken Pet Hospital. They charge $145. for neutering and 215. for spaying. They suggest a series of labs before the surgery which costs 74. but that is a choice. Louie alre…[Read more]

FunnyBunny replied to the topic Neutering? Is it necessary? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 9 months ago
Before we got the bunnies we did a little research and understood that getting them fixed was preferable so that has been the plan. I just need time to figure out the money but Louie is already 7 almost 8 months old and Coconut is 9 months. Our vet charges 320. to neuter and 450. to spay. I just can’t afford that right now so I’m looking for ot…[Read more]

Unfortunately litter box habits tend to go out the window during bonding, we tend to call them “poop and pee wars”. They are basically marking against the “intruder”. It may not get better until they are fully bonded, but after that they should start to go back to having good habits.

They can definitely be sensitive to certain pellet ingredients, so that sounds like a good plan as well. You might talk to your vet about doing a hay only diet for a little while to try to identify the problem (but important to rule out dental issues before trying that, to make sure they do eat enough hay).

kaitland replied to the topic Does my bunny pick up on my stress? in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 9 months ago
Thanks for your reply! I don’t think the vet checked his teeth when he was in for stasis, he did have them checked way back when he was 6 months and the vet said they looked good. But I will definitely have her give him a little check up and have his teeth looked at when he goes in for his nail trim in about a week or so. His poops are normal…[Read more]

thank you so so much and haha don’t worry! You’re not overwhelming me at all,,it’s just that both of my parents saw that they were fighting and they told me that males shouldn’t live together and that kinda dropped my expectations on bonding them,, but I guess that’s the typical mindset that people have.i mean when I went to the pet store,the…[Read more]
