Thank you, the advice(and the encouragement) it much appreciated. I will step up the pre bonding and just keep at it 🙂

Thanks! ☺️🐰

Is it dusted with baking soda? If so, then I agree with Dana.

As previously mentioned, it depends on the state AND the vet. Although it was approved in NY where we are, our vet still could not administer the vaccine. For now I am solving it by flying my bunny to Belgium where I travel often and get him vaccinated there, and will keep doing so every year until it becomes available at our vet in NY. It is so…[Read more]

I would not use it due to ingestion risks. The following topic from the past includes a quote from Dr. Dana Krempels: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/litter-with-baking-soda/

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I will miss him a lot he was like my child and best friend, but I find comfort in the fact he’s no longer suffering, I kept it all at bay for for a very long time thanks to echinacea but nonetheless it happened, I know lop eared rabbits are not as lucky. I did however give the vet an ear full on not having…[Read more]

I have seen the same kind of litter and I am wondering the same thing!

Ok thank you, that’s helpful!

What type of space are you using for the bonding sessions? I ask because sometimes in cases like this sometimes having a very large space can help. That way the bun being mounted can run away and things are less likely to escalate.

The other thing that jumps out to me is that you’ve only been doing daily sessions…[Read more]

Spay/Neuter
Both neutered.
Pumpkin for 3 months, Casper for 6 weeks.

Housing

Bonding background
Bunnies are settled into their housing by now.
Pumpkin is scared of Casper and hasn’t moved much, with…[Read more]

Hmmmm, this is tricky! Can you fill out the “Bonding Template” and paste in your reply so we can get a bit more info about the bonding process so far?

Lots of mounting in bonding situations is not unexpected, even when both bunnies are neutered. It is one way to express dominance, and can take a while to calm down. Does it tend to lead to a fight…[Read more]

I think knowing when “it’s time” is one of the hardest things we have to do as pet owners, and is also a gift when an animal is suffering, and I think you know her best. There comes a point where quality of life becomes the focus (as you mentioned), and it does sound like her quality of life has deteriorated quickly and won’t likely improve.

Oh my gosh! That is so crazy. Coincidentally we are also currently going through really stressful issues with our landlord. Unfortunately our lease is terrible and really favors her. We were so desperate when we moved we didn’t really realize how bad it was, plus moving to a new state we thought it was standard and not negotiable.

Essentially she…[Read more]
