My rabbit has recently been scrabbling at the wire around her water bottle. As if she thinks she has to sort of dig at it (or knead like a cat) to get the water out. She also seems to be drinking more than usual. For context, her husbun died 3 months ago. (I'm having trouble finding an older...

Not sure how to flag this up... I posted a few weeks back as I'm attempting to find a new home for a rescue bun. I noticed the thread doesn't appear on the forum any more, although I can navigate to it via my recent posts.

Hello there, I am currently fostering a lovely 18 month old doe, Ronni, who will be looking for her forever home in approx August 2020 - I thought I'd better start looking now! She was previously confined to a cage and is enjoying having some more space and doing very well at learning to use a...

Have pair of houserabbits. They've been bonded since late 2016. Mel (male) and Tilly (female). Both long ago neutered. Tilly is the dominant one, I think. Now and then they pee outisde the litter tray repeatedly (I say "they", I'm pretty sure it's Tilly) and the only way to stop them is to...

Hi, hoping some bun can help! My two house buns (Mel and Tilly) have been peeing outside their litter tray for months. Inititally this was just in the corners of their indoor run, and after different arrangements of litter trays we finally agreed on one litter tray with hay rack, and another...

I've been wondering about this since I came back from a holiday. Mel is almost 6, and as I take my holidays in one lump of time that means I've left the bunnies with a sitter (what's the right word?!) three times for 1 month, since I've had them. Sitter is a vet nurse specialising in small...

Noticed a few days ago that Tilly has a bald spot, very dandruffy, on her back... along the spine. Spring fever has casued some debates about who's chief bun, with humping, so I assumed her husbun had pulled her fur out doing this. Now, I think it could be fur mites (cheyletiella...

So, female (spayed) bun has started already. Chucking everything around, digging frantically in litter tray, and dragging it (the large tray) around the run. She's pretty big so can be quite destructive! It's ony the second year I've had her and the first doe I've had so still quite new to...

My lil boy Mel is recovering from stasis. It's been 3 days since it started - took him to vet after first 12 hrs and have been giving him meds as well as syringe feeding. He began eating solid food (veg only) last night and passing little droppings. I also have a larger, female bun - Tilly -...

[More info. in later post!] Have a pair, bonded in Nov. Both long time neutered. In the last week or so female has gone bonkers - throwing toys out the cage and out the run, throwing things around in a sort of frantic way rather than a playful way, digging up the mats, kicking litter around...

I must admit I don't think this bond will work now... hoping to be proved wrong! Bunnies have been togther since 8ish last night (I'm a night owl so was up until 4/5ish). Neutral space - pen. With two litter trays, two food bowls, only one water (bottle shortage!) Put male (Mel) in first...

I have an almost 4 year old male bun, who is missing his little pal who died a week ago. Both were boys. Surviving bun Mel was the dominant one. I would describe him as bossy but loving, and inquisitive. He is very subdued since losing little Pip. Bonding them took a while as Pip just...

My lovely Pip died this morning, whilst staying at the vets. Took him in late last night. Wracked with guilt as it was pasteurella and I keep thinking, if only I'd spotted sooner. They have both been to vet numerous times with sneezing and been fine, sometimes having baytril if ill. This...

Hello there... I have two house rabbits, both around 3yrs, both male, neutered and bonded around 2.5yrs ago. One is clearly boss, outgoing etc, one more timid. They groom each other but more timid bun grooming boss bun. Anyway, I've noticed that when I leave all the doors open so they can...

This isn't working. All the advice doesn't help - I can't even wrap either of them securely in a towel, they know what I'm up to and wriggle, buck, twitch - it's impossible. Even with one person holding them still, they still flick their heads, twitch etc, can't get syringe in. Going to have...

So, over the last week I have been bonding my pair to a new rescue bun. Mine are Mel (dominant) and Pip, rescue bun is Bunson. All male. (All unintentional too!) Pip immediately groomed Bunson. Over the nest few days, Mel and Pip continued grooming each other, with Pip also grooming Bunson...

Ok, I have searched previous advice on this but can't find anything useful. I know he's doing it on purpose - it's two specific places and one is too far to be accidentally spraying over the edge of litter tray! It all started a couple of months ago. Weeing right next to the litter tray...

Hello there... Rescued a rabbit yesterday that's clearly a domestic bun, was loose in the local park. Have him (?) set up temporarily in a spare cage, in small bunny proof room. He was shut in the cage overnight and left to settle, today cage has been open but he hasn't ventured out (small...

My rabbit was just chewing the side of a cardboard box (where I put veggies for them) and then sat up on his hind legs (in the sniffing/alert position) and started shaking. He was like a little vibrating bunny statue... I called his name and he sort of jumped out of it and is now bck to normal...

Hello there, just after some advice! My two neutered boys began the bonding process early in January and took about two weeks until they seemed fully bonded. However, today for some reason they have started chasing and fur pulling again. When this happened during the bonding process, it was...
