I like the “About Me” section idea. Agree on organizing by date, I use a calendar at the moment and it’s useful to flip back and check when I last did something. Maybe a template/page for Pet Sitter instructions with Vet + Emergency Contact info? I know every time I go to the vet they…

I found our female on a rehoming bunny fb group in our area. We wanted a spayed female and she was the only spayed available at the time. So we took her and I fear she was neglected quite a bit as she’s very distrusting of humans. She only likes Oliver. We have tried just…

Just to chime in on the off chance it helps: my two girls also got along fine but would still get into occasional spats, mostly over food. Only one of them would try to hump, but they didn’t have an obvious “boss” between them. I did notice they would sometimes guard the litterbox from each…

I believe they’re bonded…I mean, they snuggle, they clean each other, they are always together, but at the same time, it seems they are always challenging each other. Our female is more fearful and our male is very curious and brave. So he’s usually the one who is in charge, but she’ll occasionally challenge him.…

I would find organization by date helpful. Sort of like an old-school agenda.

Reply To: Help! My female won’t stop territorial peeing/pooping - 6-CanadianBuns 06/24/2026 08:27 PMI agree with Greg the Lionhead I’ve bonded six rabbits and I have five litters. I have two rabbits that will pee constantly on the floor drives me nuts the others they seem to be OK my one girl she stands outside of her litter and eats the hay. Maybe yours is doing the same…

Hello my fellow bunny moms and dads. The other day I was searching for a journal where I could keep track of my two bunnies (things like grooming sessions, litter box changes, favorite snacks) but had a really hard time finding anything for bunnies. So I decided to create my own!! What would you add…

If you would like to offer some hay that is “outside” of the litter box, have you tried a hay rack that hangs above it? That way they still have to get into the litter box to eat the hay. It’s possible that she is just eating hay and peeing at the same time because…

My bun, Sesame, has been peeing outside of her litter box and I’m really not sure why. I’ve noticed that it’s either just outside of the litter box if there’s a hay mat on the floor or wherever there is a pile or box of hay I set out for her and her brother (Pekoe:…

There are a lot of buns on long-term (maintenance dose) if meloxicam. My vet was perfectly fine with it. You just find the lowest effective dose and continue to give. There are many cases where the benefits outweigh the risks (like long-term arthritis management).
-
You’re doing great! I think I remember a study that says rabbits can safely be on meloxocam for 28 days. This doesn’t mean that meloxicam is unsafe for even longer use, it just means there are no studies on longer treatment courses. Many of us here have given high doses of meloxicam for longer, it’s…

Thank you for your reply! She is doing quite well overall. I do have another question concerning her Meloxicam which I will put in a seperate post

Charlie has been on Meloxicam 1.9mg for 19 days now. She was on it pre surgery for 10 days and this would be day 10 post surgery. She weighs about 7lb. I asked her vet about the safety of long term Meloxicam during her visit on Tuesday, expressing concern she had been on it 15…

It does seem safer to wait with the penicillin since the vet is reluctant to give it. Maybe keep a close eye, look closely for swelling, monitor her appetite and ability chew, obv poop quality as well. There are ppl here who have very successfully given sub q penicillin to their buns – moderator Wick…

I made it a routine. Meds with all the cleaning done on the bathroom countertop; no bun is familiar with the countertop so it’s always been easier for me to bring bun there for serious issues as they do not move as much. And then additional meds, mixed with pellet mush or critical care (and/or…

It sounds mean, but teaching them to sort of “give in” to the select medication/grooming windows is important. It’s actually not bad that bribing with food doesn’t work because when owners become dependent on that, they run into difficulty when it no longer works! Whatever method you use, make sure you are committed and follow…

This morning Charlie had her first post op check from having her back lower left molar pulled and teeth filed. Vet was very pleased with her progress. She’s eating and doing well. Her culture came back to see what bacteria was in the abscess. The only thing it showed (can’t remember name) was what vet…

I’m glad you have Nova. You might see her behaviour change considerably now when she’s an only bun and your her human. I’ve seen that happen, my Bam, transformed into a completely “new” bun after his co-bun passed. He became outgoing and and very affectionate. Hopefull that will be the case with Nova as well!…

I have not seen this personally. But, to me, it sounds as though she is getting a feel for her “new” teeth. After all, she was probably in pain for a while and suddenly the painful parts are gone and her mouth feels different.
