Hello, I am writing after the bond of my original pair (male and female) broke after I brought in a friend's bun to foster while she goes on holiday :( Originally, my pair lives in our large living room, free range. They never had any problems since we've moved here! However last week a...

Hi all, thank you so much for your feedback! Roo is on pain meds right now, we had to force feed her them for the first day but after that she takes them like a champ on some pellets or in mashed bananas : ). Our little guy is neutered, and has been neutered for a month before we initially...

Hello all, My Doe Roo has just come back from her spay two days ago. Her bonded companion, a neutered male buck, came with her. After we all came home, everything seemed fine, my buck was grooming her and making sure she was ok, but by the night, Roo began to run from him as if he is a...

That's fabulous!! Makes me miss home..Hope they also had Pavlova, Kea and Fish 'n' Chups : )...

Is it Tui as in the native New Zealand bird : )?

We are about to bond Roo and Dohwa together by the end of the month. They have been interacting with a cage between them for a month now as Dohwa gets neutering done and over with :). Really no scuffles whatsover, Do fell pretty much in love with Roo at first sight, he became a little less...

Hi！Do-Hwa would come to me for strokes down the back, but does not quite like being pet on the head, so I never manage to pick him up head-first, almost always from the behind (I make sure he sees me coming from the side), with one hand holding his chest and front legs while the other supports...

I would also like to ask how you go about doing it, right now my little guy senses when I want to pick him up so I will need to follow him around a bit (while speaking softly to try and soothe him) and then pick him up mostly on his own terms or if he is in a bit of a corner situation and can't...

Hi Shimmer, thank you for your reply! I wanted to ask if this affects your relationship with your bunnies in any way, Do-hwa isn't a fan of being handled and I don't want him to hate me for trying, or become a timid bunny..

Thank you for the welcome and advice! I'm thinking perhaps rather than picking him up everyday perhaps designating one day a week to practice picking up maybe three times in a row and then leaving it for a few more days....Maybe it will be less stressful but still unsure, ahhh!

Thank you for the welcome : )! Hope to surf the forums soon for more useful morsels... This might be too extra, but would you suggest changing the picking up sessions to every three days instead? I just hope that trying to pick him everyday isn't causing too much stress..but then go every four...

Dohwa is a three month old lop. During our most recent visit to the vet, she had suggested that I practice picking him up everyday to get him used to it however due to how stressful the situation is on the bun, I am starting to doubt the everyday part of it. I will also like to post about how...
