We switched our buns to bottled spring water a couple of years ago. Our tap water where we live was developing a strange chlorine/chemical-y taste and my husband (who is kind of anti-tap water for drinking/cooking to begin with) decided we should maybe switch the buns to spring water. We buy the gallon jugs at…

I’m so glad this story has such a happy ending! Unfortunately I missed the original posts when you had written them, but I’m glad that you were able to find the support you needed to handle your first bunny! And it sounds like you have quite the friend now. 🙂 Bunnies make incredible companions. We…

Thank you, I’ll look into that

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for the update! I’m glad to hear that things are going well and you have what sounds like a very special bond with your bunny. Animals can definitely be healing. They give us a reason to get up in the morning and to do the things we need…

Bottled spring water is usually just a municipal well, so it may not be much different than your tap water. The concern with municipal tap water (if there is one) is more often contamination from lead pipes, etc. Now if you have a private well, that is a different story and there is the potential…

You can get your water tested to help inform your decision.

Since this was made over a year ago- I felt like giving a small update, if anything mostly really for myself and to happily put a bow on this… I’ve kept her! I got her when she was about 2 and a half months old, now she’s over a year old. Still tiny as ever…

I’ve been giving my bunny Poland spring water, my husband wants me to give him either tap water or filtered water. Keep in mind we don’t drink our tap water we drink Poland spring. I’m concerned to switch because I really believe the tap water is what gave my other bunnies cancer last year and…

My husband is a landlord and yes allows pets. We had a tenant who had a rabbit and no damage done. I have a bunny who I let free roam but I have to 100% supervise him because he can get into some trouble like eating our couch or biting our mop board. That’s if…

As long as you are absolutely sure they are both female, then you could just monitor the situation. If you see signs of things escalating, then it may be time to separate them before fighting occurs.

Yes, I’ve sat inside with her and hand fed pellets. At first I had to extend and lean over to give her the pellet and slowly I withdrew my hand but I haven’t gotten her to put her paws on me. Have to move slowly or she’d bolt. Recently, I see her out about 1hr…

When we first got Arthas from the shelter, he was super terrified and nervous. So, to help him get used to us, I started out by sitting beside his pen and just talking to him. He spent the first couple of months in our bedroom, so at night, my husband and I would lay in…

I would remove everything except for the hay. Sometimes it’s pellets, and sometimes it’s greens/veggies. Get a variety of hay, and yes, a dried hay topper is good. See how he does for at least a few days, then try adding either the pellets or veggies to see how that goes. Poopy butt can be…

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear Gus is having problems! Have you made your long drive yet? I’m wondering if some of his change in hay consumption and bouts of poopy butt could have something to do with the changes that are happening around him. From your previous post about preparing for a long trip,…

It sounds like she is still scared. She was at the shelter before and basically shut down. She may still be in the same shut down mode now even though she is in a home setting. It sounds like you’re doing the right things. Some bunnies just take a lot longer than others to open…

Looking for suggestions on how to interact with my foster bun. Bun has been with me for a month and will have at least one more month with me. She is super duper shy and I almost never see her out; she has cardboard townhouse that she sits/sleeps in expect during pellet time. She won’t…
