My grandmother’s got pet insurance for her dog and it was a huge ripoff. He needed dental surgery which was covered but she was temporarily in a nursing home (she’s out now) when he needed the surgery. My family called it in for her and since she couldn’t come to them in person to ask for it (it was in 2020 right during covid), they only gave…[Read more]

The baby food I got was banana. I also got apple and put them both out for her. She sniffed but would not taste either one! I’m going to run up to the store tonight and get some raspberries and Strawberries, maybe some other fruit and try and find something she likes. I just can’t believe all she wants is hay, and a few pellets. Oh and her treat,…[Read more]

What about mixing them in mashed banana?

Yes, luckily the nail turned out to be minor, and it doesn’t seem to phase him at all!

The bonding could definitely be going worse, but it’s hard feeling like if I wasn’t right there they’d fight quickly. Not an outright attack at least. Yes, next time I think I’ll do the carrier for a bit first.

Problem now is Ruby is hating me. The meds for…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful bunny, I had an Oreo bun when I was a kid.

As I said on your other thread, I think you made the right decision, even though it’s not an easy one to make. I’m glad Blue is doing ok. <3

We purchased through Nationwide Pet Insurance, in the US that’s your only choice. No other companies are offering rabbit insurance. The insurance company states they no longer write for wellness plans. The plans cover accidents and illness. My policy was $302.39. I got a bit of a discount for paying all upfront. They do offer payments per month,…[Read more]

@BZOO look at those floofs together! My buns have occasionally be picky about spinach, maybe they are just not feeling it today?

Awww cute pumpkins Wick! We carved pumpkins too, and the squirrels have been eating mine! LOL

I dressed up as “Bonehilda” (a really random character from the Sims, she’s a skeleton maid), and my husband dressed as Elizabeth Holmes. ha!

Ahhh Suzanne hopefully they give you tasty meds that the buns will take willingly! Sometimes they can compound…[Read more]

Awww bummer about the nail! Don’t feel too bad, things happen.

The session before that sounded like it went ok! I’ve seen that behavior before, where one bun kind of pins themselves to the ground and the other will nip their side. I don’t really know how to interpret it, but I agree it’s better than full on fighting. Hopefully you can try another…[Read more]

That doesn’t sound too bad! Grunting is pretty normal in bonding. Females are more territorial, so they will tend to show more of those types of behaviors in bonding.

How long have you been working with them?

If you notice that things are worse at the beginning of the session and then calm down, then I think that longer sessions are the way to go, but you would want to do long sessions in the neutral space before moving them into their final home. It sounds like they are still just working things out, it’s normal to see both bunnies mount etc.

What’s…[Read more]

That sounds like great progress! I agree they are continuing to work things out. I would keep increasing the length of sessions as you can, but I don’t think they are quite ready to move to semi-neutral. Maybe you could have them on the bathroom floor as opposed to the tub if that would be more comfortable?

Just confirming that she is spayed?? You may want to double check with the shelter and have them pull her spay records, because mistakes can happen!

I agree that the scent of another rabbit in the area who she isn’t bonded with might be upsetting. To me she sounds “cage aggressive”, although I know she isn’t locked in a cage, she could have been…[Read more]

That’s really so sad. I’m sorry you were treated that way!

Beds are a problem for a lot of bunnies! Can you get a taller barricade? That might be the easiest thing honestly.

The other solution I’ve seen (but have not tried), is to get a plastic shower curtain and put it on top of the bed under a thin blanket or sheet. The plastic blocks the smell of the bed (which triggers marking), and also makes clean…[Read more]

Ooh that’s great! I do think there is an element of competition! I’ve noticed this in my pairs too, eating is a very social activity for rabbits!

For extra special treats, mine love a small bit of apple, a raisin, or a cheerio (or rolled oat). 🙂

I also give mine the oxbow joint support treats and they like them!
