Nope. They need to be separated sooner. The age at which they are capable of breeding is earlier than the ideal age to breed. Preitler is a regular breeder of rabbits. You can see his reply to this question here: https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/8-week-old-bunnies.106268/#post-1208404 As...

Looking back I see that your baby rabbits will be 8 weeks of age on Friday. Do keep in mind as you are considering litter pans and hay feeders, etc. that in 2 weeks, you will need to separate the girl babies from the boy babies. They have to be kept in separate housing by 10 weeks of age. So...

The Hair Buster Comb is a popular one among rabbit owners.

Traditionally, rabbits in the US do not get vaccinations. The more recent exception is for the quickly spreading RHDV2. There have been vaccinations for this disease in Europe & Australia for years, but they've only more recently been approved here in the US. Even so, the vaccines are not...

Bigger litter box. Much bigger. It will save you work and will be more effective. With a larger box, it won't need to be cleaned nearly as often and will absorb order much better. Check out this page for further detail (includes "troubleshooting" tips at the end.

The photos are most helpful. Thank you. I see what you mean about the hay racks. No wonder they are eating less of it. The hay racks make it too much effort for them to get enough. Hay bags aren't likely to be much better. Cutting the hay in smaller pieces defeats the benefit of long strands of...

Spraying urine isn't the only potential hormonal behavior. Aggression, lunging, biting, forgetting potty training, excessive destructive chewing, excessive mounting (of you or of other objects), inability to bond with another rabbit-- these are all potential behavior changes that could begin to...

Looking back at your prior posts, it looks like your rabbit is already 9 months of age. Unfortunately, if you have to wait another 5 or 6 months before he gets neutered, it's possible that his hormonal behaviors will become ingrained (permanent). It's a risk you'll be taking by waiting that...

Glad to hear they seem to be making some progress. A photo of your current setup would be helpful so we can see what you mean about the litterboxes and the crates (and see size perspective, etc). That litter box from etsy might look cute, but it isn't something I would recommend. I couldn't...

@BunnyMom2 Please take the time to carefully read over Jenny's post. Be sure to click on each link she provided as well. The questions you keep asking imply that you may have missed some critical info she provided. I've quoted her post here for convenience.

It was good to post here again since the whole background is in this thread. Bonding is such an individual thing and isn't hard science, so there aren't many hard & fast guidelines to go by. You often have to go with what your gut tells you. Reading their interaction, I'd be inclined to give...

Thanks. Do you always feed the same type of hay? What type? I wonder if @JBun has some ideas.

I just stumbled across HRS' website that has been revamped and re-done. It is https://rabbit.org/ (still same link) but they seem to be calling it rabbit.org Foundation. One of their board members is Marinell Harriman (author of The House Rabbit Handbook) and she has numerous articles on the...

Jenny may have more detailed info for you, but in the meantime, finding the cause will be key to treatment. There are multiple reasons a rabbit can get head tilt (the wobblyness is likely from that initial issue). "A bacterial infection of the inner ear that affect’s bunny’s sense of balance is...

Rabbits need 24/7 access to hay. Greens can be fed once per day. Some may keep their rabbits outdoors where they have 24/7 access to grass and weeds for their "greens." Grass is hay that has not been dried yet, so that is fine for rabbits accustomed to it. In areas (like CA) where RHVD2 is...

What pellets is he on? How much? What else is in his daily diet? Being a senior bun, his prior normal diet may need to be adjusted as his body ages. Is he just having the oblong poos now or is there still mucous there? You mentioned diarrhea but is that what you meant? True diarrhea is...

Perfect summary! Well put.

Welcome to the forum!

I'd also urge caution since you have 2 males to 1 female. That usually doesn't work out too well since the males tend to both want the female's attention. Since pairs are more ideal for bonding, and since Piko is already a (very) senior rabbit at 11 years, I'd be inclined to not put Piko...
