They DO eventually calm down… eventually. Most people don’t wait that long to see if they actually do. LOL The hormonal behaviors are still there once they calm down, they just aren’t as pronounced. Neutering definitely has its benefits… particularly the permanent reduction in hormonal behaviors. Plus, if you want to get your bunny a friend,…[Read more]

So my two youngsters that I’m bonding were housed next to each other at the shelter and they’ve been that way since I brought them home one month ago. My girl was super good about her litter box, the boy not so much which I attributed to his young age.We’ve been bonding for about 3 weeks. Within the last 3 days my girl started peein… -

Welcome to the world of being a poop obsessed bunny parent! I think there are a lot of us here haha.
I think giving a little watery critical care when you notice something is just slightly off is perfectly fine and a great thing to do (I do the exact same thing with my bunnies). The only time I wouldn’t is if you really suspect a severe blockage…[Read more]

For photos, we are still having some issues with the site, but if you add it to your profile (as though you are going to change your profile pic), it should show up in your library, and then you should be able to add it to the post.

Having another rabbit (presumably also un-castrated) will definitely have an effect as well! I’m sure he can smell her in the area, even if she’s not in the same room. I once had some un-neutered rescues in my bathroom overnight, and my bunnies (in the other room) were going NUTS. The furniture thing could be part of it, but probably just a…[Read more]

Thank you. I didn’t know all that. Louie was doing great with the litter box than I moved the furniture around in my room and he went berserk. Lol. Not sure if that is the reason or because we bought what we thought was a pair of baby females than 2 weeks later learned Louie was a he and separated them. Now Coconut is in my sons room next…[Read more]

Hi! I have a little holland lop named Alto hes a bit over one year old. He went into stasis about 2 months ago and I’ve been the poop analyzer even since!! Thank goodness the vet helped him recover, but I have been a little nervous about some of his poops sometimes. The last few days hes had some small poops on and off. I read online this is from…[Read more]

Darker moist poos aren’t the golden standard, but aren’t necessarily bad either. Do the poops tend to have a sheen or smell like onion? Territorial poos can be darker, shinier, and smell.
Personally, my Fable always has dark, less dry poop, but she is healthy and fine and eats hay like a monster.

Obsessive Bunny Disorder! LOL
Do you guys know about Toxoplasma gondii, AKA the “Crazy cat lady parasite”? Maybe someday they will discover we’re all infected with the bunny equivalent! X-D
I’ve always wanted to do Christmas photos with all the pets! Never gotten around to it though!

I don’t think it will be a big deal at all! Skipping a day here or there usually doesn’t cause any issues, I’ve had to do this often. Maybe they will miss each other 😉

Ah, so yes it has only been a very short time!
Were any of the injuries bad enough to need medical attention? Have you had them both looked over for injuries you might not have noticed?
And yes, when a rabbit bows his head to request grooming, that is usually a dominant gesture. And then failing to groom usually means the other bun is not ready…[Read more]

In the absolute majority of cases, the unwanted, sexually driven behaviors cease within 2 weeks. It can take longer though, up to 8 weeks is not unheard of, but I can’t remember any case from these forums where it has taken that much time. (It’s very different for girl rabbits, they often need quite a bit of time).
He may still circle your feet…[Read more]

He is definitely in the teenage years! So neutering in rabbits is typically done for behavioral reasons or because the owner wants to bond the bunny. (Female rabbits, on the other hand, are important to spay because they have very high rates of reproductive cancer).
If you are seeing lots of marking (peeing and pooping all over, spraying),…[Read more]

For some reason I cannot upload a photo right now here. It just disappears when I try to or deletes by itself. I tried on computer too. I will try it later again.
I can just describe, now I have found normal droppings which she has always. And darker ones, which are unusual. It’s dark, moist and when I break it there is also hay but it’s more…[Read more]

Hi all,
So, I have a 4 month old mini lop house bunny. He has an enclosure within the house but free roams downstairs when we are in. This was fine for the first few weeks but then bunny behaviours kicked in some of which are very anti social. He continually circles my feet and I mean all the time so I have to shuffle across the room for fear of…[Read more]
