Honestly, I have no idea! I just know that it took a year before our last rabbit, Basil, started licking us. He was always accepting of us, but my wife swears he was not as friendly until he was a bit older. Not unfriendly, just more interested in doing his own thing than being with us. I don't...

My three, even though they are not cuddly (yet; they're all under a year) will quite happily come up to me and allow me to bump nose/whiskers with them. But then they leave and go elsewhere to do their own bunny things. Like ripping up the rug.

I have read that rabbits will understand the head-to-head apology gesture in other animals (including humans). I also read they greet each other with small nose bumps. So, if I give my rabbits a gentle nose-to-nose nudge when they come and see me, do they understand I am greeting them? (or do...

Name James Area you live East Sussex Why did you choose your RU name "SuthSeaxe" is South Saxon in Old English. Nothing too imaginative, just a name based on where I live! Names of your Rabbits Merlin Halloumi Enya Do you work, if yes what job do you do Data analyst One thing you didn't...

We have a guinea pig pad under the litter tray with the hay bag next to it. I have just changed the litter and hardly filled it up at all. She is still trying to dig it next to me but it's mostly hitting the side of the tray! We have a higher-sided litter tray (with grate) arriving soon, so I'll...

For the past week, our charming girl Halloumi has decided that the litter tray is a fun dig box and is constantly sitting in it to eat hay...and then flipping the dig switch and digging the whole lot out all over the floor! She has never done it before and the other two in the fluffle don't do...

Wow, that's an interesting rabbit. One which likes to swim!

I really like the Annamite striped rabbit. Stripy jungle bun!

European pet and wild rabbits are the same species (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and American pet and wild rabbits are different (genus, even - O. cuniculus vs Sylvilagus floridanus). There are other rabbits in the world such as the Annamite striped rabbit (southeast Asia) and the volcano rabbit...

For those who know - yes. For those not in the know - not really. My Halloumi (rescue) was bought as an unneutered male companion for two other unneutered males and was given to the rescue because they didn't get on. When the rescue suggested she was probably female and was therefore pregnant...

Yes, I do suspect the hormones. Though Halloumi definitely thinks she is dominant outside of the enclosure - she sat with her chin on the floor for me this morning which I believe is demanding grooming! Maybe hormonal Enya is not ready to accept this yet and it shows, hence Halloumi's...

We need one of these further south, too!

I'm here to try and get some advice/confirmation/assessment of my three rabbits' bonding behaviour - if things are normal, how it's all going etc. We have: Merlin - M, ~8 months old, neutered (black lionhead lop) Halloumi - F ~10 months old, neutered (on 9th April 2025) (blue otter Netherland...
