Activity

One weird thing I have noticed so far is licking walls and woods. He never did that before. Not sure whether its the cecal dysbiosis.

-Thanks in that case I will continue on critical care.

-He is on probiotics but is not helping.

-He is chewing hard surfaces, chewing his toys. I do not know if he has dental pain would he be able to chew on hard things. But you are right I should talk to the vet. He is eating very little hay.

-waiting for the stool result.

Yeah, grunting can mean different things depending on the context. From what you’re describing, it sounds like this may be hormonal in nature. He may be seeing you as a potential “mate”.

He is very cute in the video! Thank you for the update. I don’t think getting him a friend is a bad idea. But yes, they would both need to be neutered in order…[Read more]

Yep okay the smaller afternoon ones can be what you are describing.

But for the cecotropes no. I see when she eats her cecotropes throughout the day and it’s quite a lot haha. She doesnt eat them in toilet. She just eats hay and leaves one bigger pile of cecotrope like dropping and one smaller. It’s like you know small, moist poops clumped…[Read more]

Updates:

So we took the girl bun back to the rescue. Since their last fight, they both became pretty tense living side by side. The girl would binky and be active all day long with much rest and strangely she also became a little aggressive. She started to lunge and bite whoever got close to her litter box. She got me once since I did not expect…[Read more]

That’s really great! You’re welcome!

And I hear ya! I’ve bonded I think 5 pairs now (plus a failed trio and failed quad LOL) and every time is different (even when the same bunnies are involved), and it’s always nice to have an outside perspective!

Thanks for all your advice! It’s really helped relax me and know that things are going normally!

Even after having bonded a pair previously and one even being the same bunny 😂, there’s still lots to learn!

We had the most wonderful session today, Glenn initiated some grooming, only mounted once so he must have listened to Bella telling off…[Read more]

Yes.. June’s episode was particularly bad, terrible sore thoat and and a fever for 4 or 5 days in a row. Not fun. Better than chronic allergies though. I guess I should just ditch the mystery hay just in case. I feel bad though because the bunnies love it. Oh well.

Ugh I’m sorry. 🙁 I know there are so many colds and flus going around. Although on the bright side, having an allergy forever would be pretty annoying to deal with since you have bunnies!

If it does end up being allergies, you might try switching to orchard grass hay. Some people get pretty allergic to timothy but don’t react to orchard grass.

Thanks for the link and kind words, ill get to reading it.

I will!

Yes… I guess I was trying to hope it was allergies because I was sick in March and I was sick in May and I was sick in June and I was also sick in September and I’m sick of being sick.

Those are safe to give to bunnies. Oxbow has done so sketchy stuff but I find most of their toys and treats to be safe.

It could also be that you picked up a cold from the people you saw on Friday? I would probably give it a few more days to see if it starts getting better on it’s own. With having the sore throat first it sounds more like a cold to me. My colds usually seem to start with a sore throat and then progress to sinus symptoms.

I understand! I don’t mean to discourage too much about bonding them to different bunnies, just want to make sure you are prepared! It would also probably be way easier logistically to focus on one bond at a time if you chose to go that route.

When your current buns are side by side (but separated by a barrier), how to they behave towards each…[Read more]

Okay so I think I’ll try bonding them next year probably? Both of them fought real bad when I tried the bonding stages in a neutral place and both of them are still on each other’s back,,,so I kinda lost hope to bond both of them together because one of my bunny used to be submissive then when those hormones kicked in,he started getting more…[Read more]

Aww that’s a cute idea! Maybe I will make stockings for my buns, I have four so it would look so cute hanging up!

Hi Oreo’s Mom, this is a very old thread so I’m going to lock it to avoid confusion. Feel free to start a new thread to discuss your question though!

Pine is safe to use for things like hutches and toys as long as it’s not treated with any chemicals. Pine shavings aren’t safe because they have a lot of aromatic oils that get released, and since…[Read more]
