You NEED neutral territory for bonding. Based on that and all the other issues you're having with carving out an appropriate bonding area, I recommend investing in an x-pen. The best deal I know of is from Petco. It doesn't want to let me link something other than the biggest height (48'')...

Welcome to RO! Sorry, but LMAO @ "apologies in advance for posting a picture of poo"! Not only have I posted one or more photos of rabbit poop on these forums, I have personally *requested* said photos from a concerned bunny parent on numerous occasions! Hang around here for a little bit and...

Turnip greens are technically cruciferous (which means they can cause gas) and rabbits sometimes have trouble handling gas. Some rabbits are far more sensitive than others. That said, I've fed tons of turnip greens over the years without issue. Just be aware of signs of potential gas when...

Ohh, duh! Sorry >< The European Mini Lop is the exact same breed as the American Holland Lop. If I remember correctly, what we call a Mini Lop in the US is a dwarf lop in the UK? Not 100% sure on that, though. The breed name "Holland Lop" is exclusive to the US because we like to do things...

Typically, 12 weeks is when to start veggies if you don't know what mom was eating, so I wouldn't add any new veggies or increase the overall quantity of veggies (I see no reason why you can't keep giving the types and quantities that he's already proven he can tolerate - just hold off on adding...

Rome as in romaine lettuce? As long as it's leafy and green without other stuff in it, it should be fine. I laughed out loud when I read this. You are far from the only one! I have tasted various brands of pellet, critical care/recovery food and hay over the years. If it goes in one of my...

Well, the coloring isn't tied to breed - the coloring that your lop and my Alice share is called "broken black". My avatar pic is a "broken black tort" (also a Holland Lop, our beloved Gazzles, who passed in 2014). Broken simply means that instead of being a solid color, you get patches of...

Alice is a Holland Lop, though she's a false dwarf (meaning a dwarf breed but without the dwarf gene) and weighs around 4.5 lbs.

Well, there's also just something about soft things like beds and sofas that make even (normally) well-trained rabbits want to pee at times. Alice was a big culprit in this department for a while... whenever she peed, I immediately picked her up and put her back in her condo. After a while...

Welcome! We're pretty chatty around here (heck, when I'm online, there's no shutting me up ;)), so I hope you like our community and decide to stick around! So it's night-and-day when it comes to carpet vs no carpet? Is it always the same carpet or will any carpeting upset them? Same ***...

I'm not sure about the liquid-y stuff... though it seems kinda dark to be urine, it's not outside the realm of possibility, I don't think. The other picture looks like it could be a partially-smushed cecotrope. Given that taking away pellets completely solved the problem, she may just be...

Yeah, dampening the area with warm water using a washcloth or paper towel (safe soap like Dawn is optional) and gently trying to work the poop out is your best bet (maybe saturate the area and wait a couple minutes for it to loosen up). If he could get it himself, he would've already done so -...

Rabbits on a proper diet really just chew non-food objects because it's something interesting to do. Good hay with long strands (as opposed to stuff that's been compressed or chopped) requires rabbits to chew in a certain figure-8 fashion that wears down all their teeth properly, assuming...

HEB (TX only chain), Walmart or Krogers, depending on where I'm doing my shopping. HEB tends to have better variety and quality... Walmart sucks in those departments (not to mention they don't even sell green or red leaf lettuce at ALL which are the only two hubby and I eat) but if I'm there...

I am so sorry! When I was 9, I lost both my first rabbit and the replacement rabbit to the neighbor's dog. It wasn't entirely their fault, as the rabbit managed to find a hole in the fence to squeeze through both times and they both got killed in our front or side yard... but there are leash...

Here I am complaining because it used to be 28c :P.

^ Everything Blue eyes said. After her spay, it takes 3-4 weeks for a female's hormones to be completely gone. At that point, you'll need to start the bonding process from scratch. Here are some great articles about bonding: https://www.cottontails-rescue.org.uk/information/bonding-bunnies/...

Definitely WAY too little space - she needs a bigger enclosure and an actual nestbox (but definitely don't put them back in with other rabbits). She needs unlimited hay (I can't tell, is that straw or hay that's in there?), constant access to water and extra (or even unlimited) pellets. As a...

We've got 4 rabbits, 5 cats, 7 diamond doves, 10 society finches, 2 sugar gliders and a turtle, plus we plan to get another mantis to replace the one who passed away last month. Welcome to RO, home of crazy pet-lovers :D.
