Our furry family and sanctuary buns have quadrants, exercise pens, or an XLG d/k crate as private bedroom spaces. Multiple hop levels or a sit/nap shelf and a large litter pan to accomodate their size and hay is beneficial. Add the toys, water bowl, and lounging area to stretch out. A...

I agree with @JBun also. Extra affection to keep his spirits up!

Many others will have experiences with pin placement after a broken limb. I totally agree that priority is for a callous to heal over the pin and surgical area. Avoid reading this, as it contains bad news. My friend's small bun broke his leg. Experienced, rabbit-savvy DVM placed a pin in...

@jimbo I don't know what to add wrt perplexity of losing an outdoor bun? A rabbit-savvy DVM is my go-to when it comes to mysterious reason why a medical condition occurs; suddenly, or in a short time period. For sure, talking with other bun guardians and observing posts on forums in addtion...

@jimbo, we always seek answers in hopes we learn and can provide the best life possible for our treasured companions.

Indigestible fiber, chewed rug edges, excessive cardboard consumption of cellulose that does not break down and causes a blockage, have taken the lives of a few of our indoor companions. The vet visit to seek help, xray, and/or a necropsy brings answers when we are worried and perplexed...

I am very sad that Robbie incurred the gastric obstruction. My deepest condolences. I understand the loss and emotional pain of losing a bun.

I always provide a soft towel, litter box depending on length of trip, and toys, and hay.

The hard-sided carriers to provide security and comfort come in various sizes. Yes, some bun guardians mention a top-loading carrier is perfect for their companion especially if your bun is unfamiliar with being picked up and handled. Often rescues or alternate rabbit-focused forums have a...

Each time we take our bondeds or smaller-size singles, or large buns, to the DVM, the hard-sided carrier with plenty of room for a litter pan in back, and soft towel for their feetsies, worked well. Similar to the links @John Wick and @catneedham1994 provided. I also bring along a stuffie...

@itsronni , so true about the bond between rescued and rescuer. Although, I will add a spayed 3-yr. old diva lionhead in our hone still attacks our hands if our hands smell like another rabbit. Sending good vibes as he awaits your love and affection. You inspire with your empathy and...

@itsronni , an alumni adopter traveled with his bonded pair from WI to NY so when the time approaches you can ask here or on House Rabbit Society forums for ways to make the trip most comfortable. You are very caring to seek a reputable rabbit-savvy DVM in the NJ area you live, too. Don't be...

Our elders can be pretty quiet during the nightime hours, but it depends on the situations. I saw this thread initially and am happy @Nancy McClelland hopped on quickly to reply. Our sanctuary crew and special needs' buns involve time that keeps me from quickly responding. Hub rescued three...

@ElfNugget , any more episodes of Elf thumping at night?

Archived snuggle memory from 2015, siblings approx. 3 months?? @MunchLax - you are wise to be thinking ahead prior to hormone onset. You may want to get your duo gendered asap to confirm. Super smart to ask these questions and ponder whether one carrier or two will eventually be needed.

@MunchLax, these youngsters were glad to have each others company on the trip back from the place obtained. As weeks progressed the two males turned out to be male and female. Gendered at our vet when our girl had an exam and got treated for coccidiosis. - I noticed the dominance mounting...

Have they been accurately gendered? The gender fairy can visit and surprise folks if you continue to have the youngsters share a carrier or housing space. There are several rabbit-savvy DVMs in your area if you take tthe youngens for exams or future sp/euters.

@overhear, thanks for posting the pic!!! The melty buns! Transforming a difficult-personality bun and re-establishng trust is rewarding. Reminds me of the boy we pulled from high-capacity, high-euth shelter in 2007. He would kick vehemently and had severe distrust of humans. I will add he...

@HalaBuns I send my condolences also. Losing our fur-loves leaves takes a huge chunk of our hearts. There are losses in our home from the past 20 years (fosters, rescues, adopteds) that still affect me deeply. Similar to @JBun, our rescued Flemish died moments away from coming out of...
