    Breeder vs. Rescue

    I have had several rescues come to me as tiny babies and how they turn out depends on their personalities in my opinion. I have had a couple who were instantly very cuddly and sociable, but then others who wanted very little to do with me, and completely feral in terms of litter training and...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Well we’ve gone backwards a bit, which is my fault. I made the mistake of putting a little rug in one corner, which was brand new, but over the course of the day Lady claimed it / the corner and became more and more volatile towards Gigi, and then everyone started chasing everyone. I decided to...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Still going well! We’ve had a power shift from Kiki to Rufus, which has been interesting. I had a single client call this week, and 10 minutes in, he decided to go on a humping rampage 💪🏼 🤷‍♀️😂. I could see it all happening on the camera and everyone could hear them crashing about 🙈. Lady is...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Haha! At one point last night when we first started last night and they were all so stressed, I just felt so mean. Overall, I think it’s going ok, i’m not having to break up fights all the time which is great. Gigi has totally taken me by surprise by being aggressive towards everyone, she’s...

    I bought a one month old rabbit.... how to take care of her

    Hi @Mikki10, feel free to PM me directly as I’m also in Dubai. How is your bun doing today? Have you been able to get some hay and is he/she eating ok? They tend to send the babies home with a bag of muesli type food, which is not good for them at all. In case you can’t reach me and you need a...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Well I ended up having to pick up 2 of them, because they were all impossible to get into a carrier. We are now 2 1/2 hours in to the bonding and everyone is thoroughly miserable. Lots of foot stomping happening. 90% of the fighting has been between Kiki and Gigi, who were already bonded. G is...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Thank you, I’ll let you know how it goes! I do have a good feeling about it, but as you say, I won’t know until a put them together. @MeggyM I can pick them all up if I really need to, they just don’t like it very much. So if I were moving them every day, they would be expecting it and just...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    I’ve just finished setting up the bonding pen for tomorrow and I’m so apprehensive. I actually feel a bit sad and guilty about it, because they’re all so relaxed in their respective areas of the house and relationships, and I’m going to mess it all up for them. Has anyone else felt that way...

    Rabbit periodically not eating

    One of my bunnies had various reactions to different brands of pellets I tried and all built up over time. It ranged from lack of interest in food or slow response to start eating, gassy episodes, full GI stasis and an emergency vet visit, and even when I found a brand I thought she was ok with...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Thank you! I’ve looked at a few things online and have joined a bunny bonding advice group on facebook, but I’m fairly certain things won’t go as planned. I have a fair idea which ones are going to be hard work, but they could all take me by surprise haha. Rounding them all up and getting them...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    I’ve only ever bonded Lady and Rufus (my 2 foster-fails), but that was so easy. The came to me together, completely traumatised after being dumped, then lived separate but next to each other for months. Whilst lady was recovering from her spay, I would let Ru out to roam and they would always...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Little Phoebe in my kitchen is a heart bun 🥰. I would lovvve to keep her, but I need to be strong! The sheets are a great idea! I can put up some of the duvet covers that they’ve already destroyed 😒😂 I can’t wait to have all 4 hopping around my apartment / terrified of the bonding process. I...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    I have 2 free-roam adopted buns, but I also foster rescue bunnies as well (I currently have 7 bunnies in a 2 bed apartment 😣). 2 of my fosters (Lady and Rufus) I have had for so long, that I have come to terms with the fact that they are foster-fails, because I am too in love with them to let...

    1 bun vs 2 ......do they stay out of trouble more? Opinions?

    I fostered a trio of babies. Absolute gremlins. They would copy each other, egg each other on, get in any cupboard that was opened even for a second and loading the dishwasher took twice as long because I was constantly having to fish out a rabbit or two. They would all pile on my lap, not to...

    Fostering

    Also forgot to mention that I re-named her Phoebe (she was previously Georgie). Phoebe means “radiant” or “bright”, which suits her perfectly 💫

    Fostering

    Thought I would share some pics of a happy and healthy Phoebe. She’s so happy to be alive! Such a calm, tidy, cuddly little bun, just a joy in my life ☀️ Unfortunately she lost parts of her ears when the mange crusts came away (you can see from the pics how bad it was; that was a rough day for...

    Fostering

    We made it to the vet and she was a little superstar. She has the worst case of mange he has seen in a long time, however, and she may lose the tips of her ears. They are totally stuck together at the top and appear to possibly be necrotic, but we’ll give it a little more time for the bravecto...
