You can. If he has hay and water the rest of the time, he’s all set. I have to do that now bc my little boy Lage was deemed fat by the vet at his recent vaccination appt. So now it’s hay only with a once daily snack of fresh grass. (I do sneak his…

We have done both with our buns (spaced out and together) and I find the buns don’t care as they like getting food whenever they can lol. But in my human brain, its nice to spread things out a little, but it doesn’t have to be a whole day apart. 🙂
-
I don’t think it would matter too much. I may not give the pellets and veggies together just because it’s nice to space things out. But I don’t think it’s necessary to have such a large gap either. You can always try a different schedule and see how it goes.

Hello, Short Story: Can I feed Gus veggies and pellets at the same time, once a day, as long as he gets unlimited hay and water? Long Story: Gustavo has been on the same diet for at least a year or two now where I feed him pellets around 9AM and veggies around 5-8PM, with…

Yep, that’s definitely the attitude of a teenage bun lol. He will most likely become a decent, upstanding bunny boy as he gets older (like teenage hooms mellow out). Our youngest bun, Arthas, likes to come up for pets, then binky and shake away right before you touch him. If you DO happen to touch…

8 months old? Sassy? Yep, sounds about right to me. Typical teenage bunny. Honestly, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Things will likely evolve with your relationship as he gets older and matures a little bit. As for the brushing, sometimes there’s just no way around it. Do…

hey guys! I’ve had my rabbit Theodore for about 8 months now. He was about 3 months old when I adopted him. (he was a shelter rescue). I should also mention that he’s neutered. he’s very sassy. he snorts at me almost constantly– petting him, putting his food bowl down, even sometimes when I do…
-
I have not, but that is mainly due to the fact I am uber afraid of him being outside. Whether due to possible pesticides or treatments on the grass, an RHDV2 outbreak, or just him getting out, I have chosen to keep him strictly indoors for my own sanity! I have recently discovered that he…
-
A week ago I took both my buns to the vet when Lage, the younger, more skittish one of them, was getting his yearly RVHD-vaccination. I figured he needed his girlfriend Snöa for moral support. Everything went well. The day after I caught Snöa humping Lage’s head. I’ve never seen either of them showing any…

I adopted a bunny awhile back (its been several years ago now) who came from the shelter pregnant – unbeknownst to anyone. It was quite a shock! That’s pretty crazy both breeder and vet missed their genders with your buns! I would suggest watching some videos/read some tutorials on sexing bunnies. Now that you have…

I know it is not a plastic bin but find it super useful. I bought a bag from Canadian Tire that you put your outdoor cushions in. I bring it with me to pick up the bale and place it in the bag then I can bring the bag inside and the van is clean…
-
Thanks for the feedback. As soon as I found out I separated them. Pebble had 4 kits last night unfortunately 2 died.
-
Was there a reason they weren’t separated when you found out you had a boy and girl? They can get pregnant again immediately after giving birth. At this point, there isn’t much you can do. Mama will take care of the babies. They will need to be separated after they are weaned and before they…
-
hey all. so had 2 beautiful bun girls Pearl and Pebble at 5w. took them in at 3m to vet they also confirmed both girls. 6m later she is building a nest. again the breeder and the vet said it is just a false pregnancy although she seems young to be doing that. she was…
-
Hmm… that’s interesting. For what it’s worth though, there was definitely a delayed reaction. The humping didn’t always immediately follow the stress-inducing thing.
-
They do have stuffies but ever since they found each other, they ignore the stuffies (and me :lol:). Every time I have seen Momo hump, I have not noticed anything particularly happening. I do see Momo eyeing Anpan’s backside for a good half minute beforehand like she’s determining if it’s a good time to do…
-
Something just occurred to me. Could Momo be doing it out of stress? We had a stress humper and he would get the urge to hump for reasons outside of the relationship. For example, fireworks, loud noises, etc.
-
Oh wow, I guess when she nips, she goes all out. Have you tried redirecting Momo? It works sometimes for boys to redirect them to a stuffed animal. Maybe it will work for a girl bun too? The idea is they still get that urge to hump something satisfied without the humpee getting upset.
-
Yes but Anpan’s nips mean she ends up with mouthful of fur, including pulled fur, and then she eats it (I have some thick syrup from the vet for her eating fur). Before Momo joined, when it was just Anpan and Mooncake (the boy), Anpan would nip Mooncake so much he hid in the bathroom…
-
Humping is not necessarily a concern. I would only interfere if Anpan appears to want to escalate things. You said she gives a nip and Momo backs off immediately?
