Reply To: Looking for ideas on how to honor a bunny who passed suddenly (Gus) - LBJ10 01/10/2026 03:17 PMThat’s so very true Brunosmama. When they are very sick, it is more expected. When it comes out of nowhere, it is much more confusing. This is the price we pay for loving bunnies so much. Raelinn – I commented in your other post, but wanted to comment here too. I’m very sorry for your…

Reply To: Looking for ideas on how to honor a bunny who passed suddenly (Gus) - BrunosMama 01/10/2026 03:07 PMOh my gosh, I am so so sorry to hear about Gus!! I know how much you loved him and it must be devastating. <3 I have lost bunnies suddenly when they seemed otherwise healthy. Its heartbreaking and confusing and maybe hurts a little more than losing a bun that has been chronically ill. My…

I’m so so sorry this happened. There are so msny things that can go wrong inside a bun, and they pretty much all first manifest as stomach problems. You did everything right (I read your Rainbow post just now), which means there was sth really wrong, not “just” a bout of gas or sth else…

Looking for ideas on how to honor a bunny who passed suddenly (Gus) - Raelinn & Gus 01/10/2026 12:29 PMIt’s been one day, and I am still crying a lot. Anytime I stop actively doing something, I begin crying over him. He was like a child to me, I raised him up since he was a baby. I used to put him on the desk and hand feed him veggies when he was a…

It depends on the cover, but some are thicker like a pee pad. I would think that would at least slow him down enough so you would have time to stop him.
-
Oh, I’m so sorry. That must have been awful finding him like that. As tough as bunnies are, they can also be very fragile. It’s hard to know what happened. You were doing a good job with him, so please don’t think this was somehow your fault.
-
He had breakfast. He scratched my leg asking for pets, and I pushed him away because I was busy. He went into his carrier around 5pm. Was loafed for awhile. At 10pm I decided he had been in there too long, and went to check on him. I found his dead body. Gus is dead.…

I did mention that to my husband. I just am not sure if it would protect the couch if he decides to bite. I’ll do some research and see what I can find out thank you
-
They make covers for furniture to protect it from dogs. Would something like that help?
-
Glad to hear they are getting along well. Yes, sometimes an unfamiliar setting can help cement things.
-
Wanted to come back and provide an update for Lottie and Pekoe: We went away for a weekend and the buns stayed with Lottie’s rescue in the meantime. They kept the two together in the same pen since they didn’t see any bad behaviors other than a bit of fur pulled in the first hour…
-
We currently have our 2 year old rabbit and he is really a great rabbit. He has a large dog pen attached to his very big cage which the cage door is never closed because he has his pen attached. I do let him free roam it I have to very closely supervise him. We…

When was she spayed? Before spay/neuter status, rabbit hormones and development makes litter training impossible– their habits are more dictated by territorial urges. Once spayed/neutered, rabbit hormones need a bit of time to regulate so it may still leave things wonky.
-
Has she never been litter box trained? Or is this a new development? If you’re working on “first time” litter box training, it sounds like you’re doing all of the typical things. Are there other bunnies or even other animals in the home? Could this be (at least partially) territorial?
-
Hello! Happy new year! I have a bunny (female 1 year old spayed) that refuses to use the litter box. I’ve done litter box training with multiple rabbits but she is a tough one. I tried a large space, multiple litter boxes, a small space, bigger litter box, put her poo and pee in the…
-
Getting along for over 24 hours can still be used as an indicator. But you may need to learn to read their behavior a little more. One bunny annoying the other bunny (including a small nip) is going to be different than one bunny trying to pick a fight. If that makes sense. LOL Bonded…
-
That’s reassuring! If this bond ends up being a one-sided grooming, annoying-sibling kind of bond, do the indicators for them being bonded change? Is getting along for 24+ hours without any nipping, chasing, fighting still the indicator?
-
I think ot’s good you’re interrupting attempts at violence – I do with my buns on the rare occasions I’ve seen chasing/nipping that lasts more than seconds. Best not to let things get a chance to escalate. But it’s really great that Lottie doesn’t seem bothered by it and just goes back to eating/chilling 😃…
-
He may simply be saying, “hey, I’m the boss around here”. Lottie is acknowledging by backing up and then returning to what she was doing, so I would say that is a good sign. And grooming is great, even if it is one-sided!
-
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve let them keep ignoring each other and we’re starting to see one-sided grooming again! A new behavior that’s emerging is Pekoe has been lunging at Lottie, which we discourage/interrupt as soon as we notice. In the instances where we haven’t stopped him in time, Lottie generally moves away then almost…
