Some ups and downs are normal, and it often seems like it’s two steps forward one step back. Maybe before the next session, try cleaning the bathroom really well so it smells a little more neutral, and see if the next session is better. If not, then you might try a new location, or add an element of stressing before the session. So you could pop…[Read more]

That all sounds pretty normal! It’s all part of them establishing their relationship. Bella is basically telling Glenn that he isn’t allowed to mount her (at least not without some serious wooing first). I’ve seen this pretty regularly, where in the first date one bun doesn’t mind being mounted, but then once they get a little more comfortable the…[Read more]

I agree, rabbits do not respond to negative reinforcement. All it will do is harm your relationship with your bunny. Some bunnies just react differently to things as well, just like humans and other animals. Some of my bunnies are really startled by slight noises, and the other ones don’t react at all. I think it’s just natural personality…[Read more]

It is often hard or impossible to see the back molars without anesthesia or x-ray, bunnies have 24 molars in that tiny mouth. So it’s possible she has molar spurs in the back that the vet couldn’t see.

If untreated it will continue to get worse and cause more problems.

I’m happy to hear that, I hope you can get started on a course of meds and see some improvement. Testing for EC is notoriously unreliable so many vets opt to treat for it if there are any symptoms.

Ahhhh! That sounds awful! I am so bad about being physically ill because I get so worried! (I was sick to my stomach and throwing up once just leaving the buns on a 3 night camping trip 1 hour away!)

I’ve just found a clump of Glenn’s fur! Looks like it was a fur pull rather than a bite, which I’ve heard isn’t that abnormal during bonding.

Just to clarify I do not intend on posting every day and annoying everyone 😂 I just thought I’d mention this time because of the bite… Which may actually have been a less severe fur pull after all.

Very mediocre third date… A bite occurred.

I set them up for a date again in lounge as yesterday went well in there and still neither are outright aggressive, was a nice atmosphere for the first 5 mins, Glenn mounted a few times and ear groomed Bella, and a there was a couple seconds of head to head touching, then Glenn explored elsewhere and a…[Read more]

Rabbits dont respond well to dicipline. You might teach your bun that he cant chew on particular items when you are present, but he’d still chew them when you’re not there. I dont think screaming or yelling would help. Yelling will more likely cause him to avoid you. Its a lot better for your relationship that he doesnt see you as hostile or…[Read more]

Thank you very much. This was very helpful. The vet did say that EC is a possibility. I was able to get him to the vet today. He is there now and getting another good look at.

hope this shows but here’s how my bunny eyes look like,, first eye which is the right side is crusty and the second pic is her left eye which is normal

Yep they progressively go back to normal size during the day. I’ll start weighing her weekly, thank you for the suggestion. Do you think 1/3 cup of versele laga is a good amount? she weighs about 2,2 kg

yes, the vet did two x-ray scan one from the top and one on the side, they gave closer observation saying my bunny teeth root has overgrown just a bit but it is hitting her nasal spot which causes her eyes to get watery,, would her overgrown teeth root affect her in the future? The vet told me her overall condition is fine though and she does not…[Read more]

yes, they did two x rays one from the top and side,, they said thankfully the jaw alignment is alright but my bunny teeth root has overgrown by a little and from the scan maybe like a 2 cm estimate? but it is hitting her nasal spot which causes her eye to get watery and I don’t really think her URI is back again because she doesn’t have any…[Read more]

thanks, I will try using a warm towel and see if it works and I could try calling the vet tomorrow but what type of questions should I ask them about this?

As long as she eats some pellets and lots of hay, she wont get nutritional deficits. Its good to keep an eye on her weight though. I weigh my bun in a bowl on kitchen scales. Ideally you want to weigh a bun every week and write down the weight. If you find she’s losing weight sth isnt right.

Small poops first thing in the morning probably means…[Read more]
