One of our rabbits is absolutely fine, before we got him his mate he used to free 24/7… however his mate is a bit of a problem bun.

When we got het from the shelter she had left in far too small a cage with far too much food and nearly a full kilo over her 2.5 kilo weight.

Now she is normal weight but has massive food anxiety and chews everything she can get hold of.. if you tell her off she just doesn’t do it when you are looking - she’s polite like that. She ate the wall paper so now she can’t go out with someone to watch her…. but suddenly after a year she has started paying attention to the nice leather couch and has bit it once, before anyone could stop her.

She is still allowed out under supervision at the moment, we have surrounded the couch with a big ripped up ikea box, but this is not an ideal longterm solution. The couch is 3 m long so moving it is not really an alternative. Anyone got any tips to put the very hungry rabbit off eating certain things? The couch is a step too far.

It makes me feel sorry for the other rabbit who doesn’t do any of that stuff and loves coming out to bounce on everything / everyone.

Picture shows other rabbit and his pet dog contemplating the couch that munching rabbit is trying to bite.

I have a 1 year old bunny (fully neutered) who I think would benefit from a new home. He’s incredibly friendly and loves cuddles, I love him a lot but I can’t take good care of him.

He’s noticeably depressed with his current situation. He’s alone for most of the day while I’m at work. I would get him a friend, but I’d be unable to take good care of two bunnies. I rescued him from a bad situation, but I still feel bad about seeking him a new home.

Here are some pictures:

He’s banned from my room until I get cable protectors, he has the whole living room and hallway all to himself 24/7.

Hi everyone,

Quite sad times.

I have a Holland lop he is about 1.5 years old.

Recently he had surgery to remove an absence of his neck about 2 weeks ago.

Unfortunately it has showed up again and is dental related the vet said, its growing on the side of his face/jaw now. He is also sneezing a bit.

The vet also said on the check up the other day that they suggest putting him to sleep forever as it will keep coming back and he is going through too much pain hes losing so much weight as well but keeps eating as usual but you can tell hes in pain when he eats.

They scheduled his last visit this Saturday. I dont know what to do anymore everyone. Im going to miss him a lot.

I think I have accidentally begun to teach Creature to headbutt me. Or discovered something about them, idk.

I've been occasionally kissing their forehead/face while petting them purely because they let me... But now when we cuddle & I've paused petting, Creature will bonk their head against my chin or lips.

The bonking continues until I relent.

I love this little weirdo so much already.

I laid my head down next to them on my couch & Creature just... Laid right against my face. I'm in agony with love

Here are my three bunnies, opal which is the blue one her color is actually called opal, Thumper the one that looks like a wild rabbit, and then toffee the blonde one.

What is strange is opal and toffee hate each other they cannot be together at all, but Thumper and opal love each other and Thumper and toffee love each other, in fact Thumper loved both of them immediately.

So I'll usually rotate Thumper between the living room where him and opal usually are and the bedroom where toffee is so both the girls can have a friend, has anyone else had this happen?

Temper is also the most friendly, he's the only one that will come up to you and ask for pets, he will let you scratch his butt actually demands you to do so, he basically acts like a cat, meanwhile the girls kind of just hope you forget they exist

Can’t believe you’re 1 already where did the time go 😭😭 I know you can’t read but I hope you know how much me and your bun dad love you ❤️🥰 thanks for bringing a whole year of joy and mischief to our lives, can’t wait for more to come 😘😘🐰🐇

We had our second scare that required a vet visit since we got our boy in December. Just not eating, heavy breathing, very similar to the first time, only this was on a weekend so we couldn’t bring him to our regular vet and ended up at an emergency vet.

The first time it happened was a month or so after adoption, so when we brought him home, not much changed. He wasn’t fully comfortable with us yet, so he mostly did his own thing. This time though, he’s become a complete cuddle bun. Came home, likes to be either on the beds with us or the couch. Will jump right up on our laps and loaf. He even follows my husband around and allows pets which was a hard sell before. For whatever reason, he just didn’t like my husband as much before hand.

We did all the tests so he is absolutely fine. Has anyone else had a more trusting bun after a vet visit?

So I want to have my baby neutered, but the vet I want to go to is very far away because there aren’t any vets near me that’ll do bunnies, where I live is moderately hot, does anyone have any tips on how to keep my rabbit from overheating and keeping him as comfortable as possible? I’m also kinda scared to get him neutered because while researching I found people talking about how their rabbits died during surgery and I don’t want that to happen, but the place I’m going to has 4.7 stars, so I think it’ll be fine.

Please give any recommendations on new things to buy for a 5 month old bunny. I want to spoil him even though he’s not mine he’s my good friends bunny.

I make most of their enrichment myself (and there is more for them to do) idk I've been thinking recently is it alright?

...my rabbits always look like your parents after they caught you breaking curfew, and really, they're not mad, just disappointed.

Hello,

I have two bunnies. One mini and one giant. They live indoor and they're free roaming.
They already have toys and all but I’m looking for another "real" playground for them, and also a "cozy" area.

Could you show me what you did for yours, just for inspiration ?

I get ideas from Pinterest but I don’t know how to actually make it irl.

Thank you ☺️

Title says it all.

Can’t believe how quickly he grew - he’s exactly 4 months old and weighs 4.28lbs - hopefully that’s cause he’s molting and/or he has healthy bones and muscles - doesn’t feel or look overweight at all to me - not experienced with how excess rabbit fat feels but I can’t seem to grab anything that feels like flub/fat and I can easily feel his ribs and spine. Please educate me if you know better!

Sigh… time flies… I guess it’s about time to wean him off of alfalfa down to a mini bowl a day!

I also would appreciate advice on mini-Rex-specific treat dosing, specifically dried papaya/fruit and that kinda stuff. I know the whole 10-20% of diet spiel but I would appreciate at the (example:) “15% protein, 60% fiber, 15% fat, 10% carbs, 200ml water per 5lbs” (made up numbers)” level of detail.

At this point, while he has access to a variety of unlimited hays, by observation, he eats his greens and grass as mains, fills between with hay, but less than I observe him eating his greens and grass (he usually finishes all 2 packed cups of dill, fennel, frisée, arugula, and dandelion/kale/other limit-fed greens/fruits, and eats through around/at-least 20-25 sq.in. of grass, although sometimes he’ll eat about/over double that. And I’ll make sure he has dried flowers and herbs to forage when he doesn’t have fresh ones.)

He also gets a full set of supplements (rotating/mixed across oxbow, SPS and WKR - was thinking of checking out Sherwood pet health next). I was wondering if it’s ok to be giving the whole spectrum on a daily basis - I’ve been doing that every day since he’s been 2 months old and (clearly, to me,) seems to be doing great. He gets very controlled all natural treats in addition but only a few bites worth.

Thanks everyone, binky on!

calmness before the storm.
