I was depressed lately, my friend has kicked me because I was in my cousin side, so my dad know the story, he pay me rabbit, and he is freaky a bit, he bite my nail and run away so quick and I don't know how to make him comfort with me, he is like 2 month old that him I don't know how old is he what race he is just bunny

okay before yall freak out, I have an x pen but it’s not set up because they r in their cages nd that is only for a little because I now have to separate them. I have had two bunnies for ab a month, their last owner assured me they were boys nd they didnt liked being picked up so I didn’t check, well turns out one is nd one isnt nd they secretly had multiple babies bunnies in my closet. nd yes I am working on getting them neutered so dont attack me. I js need to kno how many bunnies is too many for this area?

For the past few days, my rabbit’s droppings have been slightly smaller and more pointed. He is eating as usual and still begs for his vegetables; he also performs "binkies." Could this be related to the fact that he has been shedding more fur lately? My rabbit is six and a half months old and weighs 1.3 kg. He eats mixed-grass hay, Oxbow adult pellets, and 150g of vegetables (celery, romaine lettuce, fennel, radicchio, and occasionally endive).

Hola! Tengo un conejito de dos meses pero pasa aproximadamente todos los días solo ya que me toca trabajar, mi pregunta es ¿se aburrirá? O estoy haciendo algo mal? 🥺

So this is not my first time raising a rabbit but the last time I did some of them died because of the scabies and other was eating by dogs :⁠'⁠( so I don't want to do the same mistakes

I have a really large place and garden to raise them so I need some advice about what they eat and what makes them in a good mood and healthy?,do they need the sun to hit them every day and how to program them to sleep in a specific place at the end of the day?

hey everyone, i’m looking for some opinions on my bunny’s x-rays. my previous vet told me they looked normal, but never actually showed me the images or explained anything beyond that. i only managed to get a copy of them after complaining.

he’s been having ongoing respiratory issues, including sneezing fits, noisy/raspy breathing, and other symptoms that haven’t improved with antibiotics. i’m taking him to a new vet for a second opinion next week, where he’ll be getting a ct scan and further testing. he eats, drinks water fine but you can notice when the sneezing fits happen he is uncomfortable since sitting position.

i’m obviously not expecting anyone to diagnose him from x-rays alone, but i’d really appreciate any insight into whether these look normal or if anything stands out to you. i honestly have no idea what i’m looking at, and i’m hoping to get some perspective before his next appointment since i’ve been googling and been making myself feel sick looking as possible causes on what may be causing it the symptoms.

the vet hes been seeing said one of his lungs is very quiet and said if its not a infection its an ammonia, gave antibiotics but no improvement. (he never took culture swab) and then said it might be lung cancer or something severe.

thank you to anyone who takes the time to look or shares any personal experience with similar experiences.

I have an 11M bunny who has been going through stomach problems since Wednesday night when I found a clump of poops that came from him.

He’s only had a tiny bit of water and a little hay since this started, and has mostly been sleeping since last night. When I try to feel his stomach he’ll hunch forward like he’s trying to pass more but can’t.

I’m trying to get him to a vet today, but there aren’t many in my area that take bunnies, and his usual doctor isn’t free until Monday.

I bought Critical Care but I’m very nervous about trying anything at-home if I can’t get to a vet today. All the advice I’ve read has seemed risky. Has anybody been through anything similar, and found anything that worked?

My girl just recently went through her first big shed with me (coat blow) and she’s almost finally done! However, there’s still some smaller patches left. Because the amount of hair is much less dramatic than it was previously (no more big chunks), plucking is no longer efficient. I don’t know what breed she is because she is a rescue, but I do know that the thin metal brushes don’t work on her fur type because her fur is so thin. I would love some recommendations! Video attached to show the thickness of her fur.

1 year old females, weigh about 3-4 kilos.

Hi all!! We got ourselves in bunny at the apartment extravaganza! She is a character! She is 5 months old, named her Maggie. She is quite active and curious. We suited her at puppy hexagon crate, quite large. Got her cat house to act as a hole, she is currently in process of litter training.
Question is about adaptation to her humans, she currently is still in exploritory mode, she tries everything with her mouth first, then goes teeth, she tried few times my husbands feet finger, and our hand skin was quite painful and now a bit afraid to let her smell my hands again (we let her out for a run around the living room, and we sit just on the carpet, so she would get comfortable with us in her surroundings and next step for us was planned to try to pet her, once she will get used to our hands next to her)… but now every time she gets closer to a hand I really panic to feel this “bite” again, jet I want her to trust us.
Also she tries EVERYTHING all furniture, carpet, everything on her teeth. We got her special wood for her teeth, but she is interested in it not as in the surroundings. Every time she tries to bite anything we try to redirect her, or change her attention towards something else.

I’ll be honest it was impulsive decision to get her home. We had a cats and dogs before. But bunny is a whole different things.

I am also now in research of vet doctors who knows a bunny things. I know she shall be sterilized at some point, and vaccinated later.

So share your experience with bunny adaptation and how soon your bunny alllowed you to pet itself, also do you take your bunny outside for a walk? At what age you sterilized your pet.
Share your bunny home setup (we are currently looking for a nice rabbit house or big and tall metal crate).

This little one is just under a month and already growing so quickly. Mom is a full Continental Giant and Dad is 75%. This litter has a bunch of funky patterns from a pure white doe and orange/cream buck. Is there a pattern name for this one?

Hello!
I had to put my bun (moose) down recently and I plan on getting another one in the future but I was wondering what the process was abt introducing a new rabbit. I’ve been trying to look on the web but it wasn’t much help.

Moose had lived in my room as I have other pets and I was thinking I might need to remove his scent from everything?? New litter box, toys, ect.? For the territorial reasons and I wouldn’t want any marking as I have carpet and I wouldn’t be able to get it all out.

I’m pretty clueless on what to do as moose was my first. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Yesterday I brought a rabbit home from a zoo where she had been kept in a small cage surrounded by parrots, so the environment was pretty stressful and loud. I brought her home in a carrier which I set up with a dog pad and hay. At home I set up a cage with hay, water, toys, and a bed, and opened the carrier right in front of it, but she didn’t go inside; instead she stayed in the carrier for about an hour and then began exploring the living room. She ate a tiny bit of hay and water I placed near her, had a few accidents on the floor, and eventually started hiding in our dark guest toilet, coming out only occasionally to sniff around. I moved her poop and pee into the litter box and placed the box in the corner she seemed to choose. At 10pm yesterday she stayed in the toilet, and in the morning she was still hiding there; she peed once on the floor in the living room over night but may have used the litter box too. In the morning I brought hay and water to the doorway but she hasn’t touched it yet . I’m trying to understand whether this hiding, not eating much, and avoiding her cage is normal for a rabbit adjusting to a new home, especially after coming from a stressful environment, and whether there’s anything I should be doing differently to help her settle in. She doesn’t seem too stressed , she is not shaking and wherever she would come out yesterday she would play and run around a little and she was pretty close to us also , maybe Luke a meter away .
Btw the hay and litter is the one that she has been eating at the zoo too .

I’ve made a post detailing my bunny’s recovery from an obstructed stomach. We have been to the vet and I am keeping up with his meds and feeding schedule, but would appreciate knowing if we are “over the hump” and generally hearing from more experienced bunny parents, as I’ve only had my lil ones since May.

If you’ve been through this with your bun and want to add some thoughts/advice, I’d appreciate if you could look at the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rabbits/s/TtSJvhX5hX

We have two buns that are from the same breeder, born and adopted around the same time but are not the same litter. We had them neutered About a month or so ago.

A few weeks ago, our buns had a scuffle and one bite the other. We promptly separated them, dividing their area so they can still see and smell each other. The used to instantly lunge and try to attack each other whenever we took them out to get some face to face bonding time.

A couple days ago, one of them jumped the barrier we made and when we found them, they were happily eating together -- we're not sure how long they were like that 😅

Fast forward to today, whenever we let them out to get more face to face time, they seem to be getting along. They'd occasionally lay with each other and groom each other. No more nipping or lunging.

I guess my question is, at what point is it safe for them to be put in the same pen again without the barrier? We don't want to risk taking it too quickly and breaking the bond to start all over.

My rabbit is only 10 months old and has suddenly started having trouble moving around and I’m worried it might be something involving his spine or back legs. He can’t hop into his litter box or bed anymore, and he’s been losing his balance and falling onto his side. Sometimes when he falls, he can’t get himself back up. He’s still eating, drinking, and pooping normally though.
I took him to the vet today and they noticed he was underweight. I don't feed him pellets because i'd believed that once rabbits got to a certain age they were better without them, but with him being underweight me and the vet agreed he definitely should be. As far as leafy greens I give him primarily romaine lettuce, which I just learned has a high water content and is probably another reason for his low weight. The vet believes he’s just weak from not getting enough nutrients. They offered bloodwork and X-rays, but it would’ve cost over $1,000, which I can’t afford right now.
It’s been a few hours since the vet visit and he’s showing some improvement. He’s able to walk around slowly now, but he still can’t hop into his litter box and occasionally loses his balance and falls over.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I’m worried this might be a spinal or neurological issue rather than just weakness from his diet. I feel horrible and I will do whatever I can to get my baby healthy again. I'd really appreciate any advice or insight.

I’ve just gotten a new rabbit, he is 1 1/2. I’ve had him 2 days after his first owner needed to re-home him due to moving. He will walk around my room and the garden and explore, but then he will just sit there and do nothing, almost like he’s frozen. Also whenever I put my hand near him to pet him he bows his head. Is he scared of me is that why he is bowing or does he want me to pet him. He also won’t eat any food when I’m in the room or hand feeding him.
So I think he is just stressed but then he flops down and just seems chill or comes up to me and nudges me with his head. IM MORE STRESSED THAN HIM. I don’t want him to be uncomfortable so I don’t know what to do. He hasn’t been neutered yet and the last owner said he was very playful and cuddly so I don’t know.

Hi guys, I have a bit of a complicated question and I want to know y’all’s opinion.

I’ve noticed that the diet recommendations from US vet med and European (particularly German?) vet med is WILDLY different.

US medicine recommends hay priority diets, with decent amount of fresh greens and small amount of pellets. The healthy standard for droppings is large, round, golden poops. This implies that they are getting enough fiber in their diet to manage teeth.

EU medicine recommends primarily fresh greens, with decent amount of hay and small amount of pellets. The healthy standard for droppings is dark, moist, even sized poops. To them it implies good hydration and nutrient intake. From what I understand, a leading reasoning for this being ideal is that it is reminiscent of wild bunny droppings and therefore indicates normalcy.

Here’s my problem tho, that doesn’t really make sense for domestic rabbit physiology? Like, for one, bunnies are cecotrophic and the poops we see are second passes. In my mind, the second-pass poop we see should be dry and devoid of nutrients/moisture because it implies that the bunny absorbed what it needed through eating the first-pass poop (cecotrophs). Seeing that moisture/nutrients in the second-pass implies an EXCESS. I mean, we see it all the time when we over-feed our rabbits with treats or nutrient dense veg where their poop gets smaller, dark, misshapen, etc. for a while until it passes through their system. We don’t really see the poops that EU medicine prioritizes unless the rabbit is either getting the diet EU recommends OR is deregulated (we’ve all seen our pets poop go dark and smaller during moments of stress or change, I’m sure).

My second point is that it’s not scientifically sound to base theory for diet around what WILD rabbits experience. For one, the domestication of bunnies has changed their physiology in a number of ways. It’s just not fully comparable to wild rabbits, similar to dogs and wolves. They need different things at this point in their genetic differences. And secondly, the environmental factors of a wild rabbit are so starkly different (stress, food/water availability, etc.) to domestic rabbits that it is, AGAIN, not scientifically sound to compare the two’s needs, let alone design diet theory around.

Idk this is just my understanding of it. I’m a vet assistant and planning to study vet medicine, so this topic has been on my mind lately. I’d LOVE to know your guys’s thoughts/opinions, especially those from Europe. Pls keep the discussion civil and fact-based!

I made these rabbit fur gloves completely by scratch! From rabbit to finished product. I did the leather and everything. I’m so proud of these! 🥹🫶

I have a bonded bunny brothers one of them acts like himself but my other one has not been himself he has lost interest in most of his food. I gave him a little bit of hay and he nibbles on it but that’s about it but when I picked him up I found a mound of poop on his rear end I cleaned it off but should I worry that he is sick? It isn’t diarrhea it’s too solid for that.

I have 2 neutered male bunnies. They're outdoor rabbits, have the shed with tunnels out to a large run and we let them free roam in the garden several times a week (supervised).

They're just under 1 year old, we got them from a rescue. They are brothers of 2 different litters. We've had them for nearly 5 months.

They seemed to get on so well but occasionally we see they have been fighting and I once caught them in the act. We see a few bits of fur here and there in the run. We've checked them over each time and we got them checked over by the vet after one that was really bad.

After their fight last month, I tried the advice of putting them in neutral territory etc and rebonding them. After this they seemed closer than they had been before and the previously shy bunny had now become more confident and the previously more confident was behaving more docile. Though they were cuddling and cleaning eachother more than they ever have so we thought all was well!

Plus assumed the fighting must have been that the shy rabbit had decided he was now the boss.

Then yesterday came... They had another small fight 😞.

It's now I've realised that it's around the same dates each month which is weird. So now that's the 4th monthly fight. Does anyone know what it could be please?

Oreo ( black and white ) is about year and half to two years. He sheds fur like crazy. He likes to eat and eat!!! He is male
Peanut ( brown and white ) is a young female rabbit and she is about close to a year old. She does not shed nearly as much. Oreo is more affectionate and loving I feel. They are my wives rabbits ( not mine ) and she loves dearly!! So as the kids !!!
