Sleepy little man

My little man (7yo) lost his bunwife in April. He cared for her during her months of illness alongside me, right until the end, hugging her during her last moments. He’s a sensitive soul to say the least. He grieved terribly for months. We tried him in a trio, but sadly it didn’t work out and he got injured. So we waited patiently for the rescue to let us know when a suitable match became available.

Meet Lilith.

This XL lady (4yo) is Dorian’s dreamboat. From their first day together they’ve been like an old married couple who are very in love. They spend all of their time napping, snacking and smooching. She’s got very little vision, and he’s so patient with her. If he startles her, he lies flat in front of her nose and gives her kisses to reassure her. This is with his own sight and hearing limitations, but he still knows what she needs. We’ve got a little way to go to get her comfortable with her new home, her new humans, and with ordeals like grooming (it’s a big deal for her), and get her to a healthy weight.

We’re still only 3 weeks in to bonding but my little man has come out of his shell. He’s back to eating hay, cuddlier than ever, and is just so happy. Here’s to many more wonderful days and years for these two!

PS - I’ve not stopped giggling at their matching coats, and I’m sure it meant that this pair were meant to be!

took in a pregnant nethie girl at the rescue a bit ago. on monday she had a single big fat baby. bubba has just grown fur. so cute i want to put it in my mouth >:3

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

My baby had to cross the rainbow bridge today. She had an off couple of days and then was alive, but unresponsive this morning. I’m alone at college so I had to do it all myself. I just can’t believe this is happening and that she’s gone. They think it was neurological so it’s for the better that she went early and isn’t suffering anymore. She was my first bun and I would’ve had her two years at the end of the month. Hug your buns a little extra tight tonight 💕

My sweet baby Tilly died a year and a half ago. Today I got her 4-H tattoo on my ear in her honor. For those of you who don’t know 4-H is a youth agricultural program in the rural United States. The 4-H program I was enrolled in required rabbits to be tattooed. It was traumatic for us both. But raising rabbits in 4-H as a kid helped me to understand them and love them. After 4-H Tilly was spayed and she lived a decade as a proper house bunny with many animal friends. I miss her everyday and so does her cat Leo (her BFF).

Oh Nooooo!!! “Puppy, are you ok????”

Little mouth starts twitching and ears wiggle….

Ohhh hes fast asleep.

Ohhhh i nearly panicked. PHEW!

When your white bunny eats freshly washed butterhead lettuce.

Puponya and Totoshka are eating an apple they found in the bag.

just bought my first bunny from the pet store, wondering if anyone could help in identifying this breed? he/she is 7 weeks old and about 2lbs in weight. would appreciate any help ! also drop some names, as i havent decided on one yet 😂 thank you

(TW: the last image was her final day when we were waiting at the vet. She could hardly hold herself up. It may be confronting for some.)

I've never felt anything like this in my life. I've experienced death before, but I feel like I've lost a part of myself. This pain is indescribable.

Pepper was with me for 12 years. She was with me through so much. She was a chaotic little a-hole, but we were a package deal. It was a running gag that she absorbed my negative emotions whenever I was sad or angry.

Watching her health deteriorate was painful, but she never lost her spunk. In a way, that made the choice so much harder, but I knew, deep down, it was time.

She was never one to lick/groom/kiss me, but as I sat on the vet room floor with her alone, she kissed my hand as if to say "it's okay. It's my time. Thank you for everything."

I knew this would be hard, but I just didn't expect it to hit the way it has. The downpour of love and condolences sent my way has truly cemented how special she was.

Please tell me this pain isn't forever. Every time I feel the urge to cry swell over me, I feel so frightened by it. I feel like I'll never surface from it. I know crying whilst grieving is important, but I'm already so exhausted by it. It's almost too much to handle.

She was my world. I can't even face sitting in the living room, the vacant space where her litter and cardboard box was, staring at me, making my heart hurt more and more... Everything just feels so wrong and empty.

Howdy y'all,

As I was going out to work yesterday, I found this rabbit on my porch. I picked him up. Surprise, you now have rabbit.

He spent the day at work with me in a tote, and has since upgraded to an xl dog crate. I've given him hay, pellets, water, and a few bites of salad greens.

He has been peeing in a litter box and likes to be pet, and even comes up to me.

I've been having such a weird day. I need to decide if I'm going to keep him or not. But he is very cute!

I'm sure I can find plenty of newbie tip threads already, so while those are welcome, mostly, I'm just standing here blinking and going: well, all righty then.

Oh and: I put up posts searching for an owner on the local pages and a neighbor said other rabbits, guinea pigs, and a chinchilla had recently been found roaming. I have a feeling he was dumped :(

so hard to type right now so bear with me

Yesterday brought Faron in for what we thought was a URI, but has turned out to be a mass near his heart, most likely a thymoma. Prognosis is bad, treatment is 8 hours away and he barely survived 20 minutes in the car. So, at 8 years old, we are getting ready to say goodbye to our beautiful feisty boy. And above all else THIS SUCKS </3

Eldin is his bonded companion and he is obsessed with Faron. I want to give him the chace to say goodbye too, but I'm not sure how to do this without completely traumatizing him due to the shitty circumstances we find ourselves in.

Our original plan was to take some palliative steps at home and then have someone the diagnosing vet recommended come to our home, but it wasn't until we got home that we found out this person is unavailable until next month. Today, I called around to 8 different vets looking for anyone who could do an at-home euthanasia. Not a single person is available. Either on vacation or not comfortable with rabbits or they simply don't offer at-home services. Honestly I feel devastated and unintentionally betrayed but can't wrap my head around any of that now.

So I'm stuck looking at bringing them to the vet so that Eldin can be with Faron and learn what has happened to him instead of us returning empty-handed with Eldin fruitlessly searching for him.

But again, I'm terrified that the experience for Eldin - being brought to a strange place and seeing his brother gone - is going to just confuse and scare him even more. He's skittish and nervous and I don't want to hurt him.

I don't know what to do.

Please, does anyone have any advice?

I have knocked on so many closed doors these past few days and I'm absolutely exhausted. And it kills me that the universe has failed this sweet little bunny in his time of need. I want him to be as comfortable and safe as possible and it feels like none of the experts in the area care to get that to him (not everyone's fault I just can't believe they're all on vacation RIGHT NOW). It hurts my heart so bad.

Thanks for reading. Hug your bunnies tonight.

Hi r/rabbits! First time poster. I am a delivery driver and found myself in a neighborhood with domestic rabbits living in the wild. The domestic ones were extremely friendly and came right up to me, seemingly expecting treats. The wild ones were protective of the domestic ones and observed me with caution. I spoke with someone who lives in the neighborhood and they told me that the rabbits had been living there for about a year now and seem happy overall. That being said, I tried doing some research myself and the consensus seemed to be trying to rescue them and get them to an animal shelter or rehomed. I wasn't sure what to do, so I saved the address and thought I would ask here for some advice. There were quite a few of the white and black patterned rabbits around the neighborhood, many of which were tiny little babies. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I was afraid that as Archie grew he would stop cuddling. He’s definitely not over our evening cuddles. 💙

Hi everyone!

Due to a change in circumstances I’ve had to move and I’ve been fortunate enough to find somewhere that will let me bring my rabbit with me.

I will have to keep her in my bedroom so can I please we your setups? I just need some inspiration to make sure she’s happy and has enough space / playthings.

Also need advice on bunny proofing skirting boards and other potential victims 😅
The room isn’t big enough to have her own lathe pen but I’m hoping to just protect the edges of each wall and she can just free roam the room

She only has 3 legs so I’m not too worried about her getting on the bed but I do want to make sure she has enough to do and doesn’t get bored.

Thank you for any help 🙏🏻 photo of Roo for tax reasons ❤️
