Great, thanks, JBun! Useful article, too.

Okay, great! Thanks.

Okay, thanks, good to know. I'm looking at getting some metal baskets like the ones pictured in the link you sent--but do I have to be worried about the rabbits chewing at whatever coating baskets like those have when they eat their hay?

Hello everyone. I'm currently bonding my two rabbits Onyx and Drusilla (each about a year old). They've been living side-by-side for several months now (since Onyx got neutered back in February), which I think helped the bonding process once I started--they're already spending hours at a time...

Thanks! I actually haven't spayed my female yet (health reasons), but I plan to eventually--I have a question about that with the bonding process, but I'll make a separate post to keep this one litter-related...

So sorry to hear about your rabbit Blue. 😢 I'm no expert, but from my experience with my own rabbits (sick or after surgery having them fixed), he does look hunched in pain. Is he as responsive as normal? Coming to you for pats or food? I think if he's lost interest in food or attention or is...

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the comments. I've done a pretty thorough look, and I don't think I can get any hay apart from one brand of meadow, timothy, and alfalfa (I live in New Zealand--you'd think all kinds of hay would be crucial to a farming country, but apparently not!). I'm not too...

Thanks, JBun--that probably is what it is. They're not new to each other at all by now, but he does seem quite smitten with her! Bonding is going well otherwise, so I'll see if he gets a little neater when they actually start living together.

Hello everyone. I have two bunnies (male and female, about 1 year old), and I'm currently in the process of bonding them. My boy's fixed, and he used to be perfectly trained, but now he keeps pooping (and, worse, peeing) everywhere! I've tried to spray vinegar in certain areas to deter him, but...

Hi everyone--thanks, these are great ideas! An air purifier is a good idea, and good that hooded litter boxes don't seem to be such a problem. MooseMouse, that looks like a good set-up you have. I tried to do something similar once, but my bunnies just tore all the hay out of the dispensers...

Hello everyone! I'm very allergic to hay, so I'm trying to think of how to minimise the hay in the air in my house. I have two little inside bunnies (and they can't live outside--it's too cold! Plus, I like having them indoors with me. :) ). What I've been doing for the last year or so is...

Hallo everyone. Thank you so much for all your responses and useful links! I immediately switched to timothy hay and constructed a little bunny-sized obstacle course in the room for them to run around in--so I have been making sure she's getting lots of exercise! She still hasn't been drinking...

I realise that this post is very long, but I just wanted to get all the information down. Thank you so much for reading.

Hallo everyone. I have recently come to care for two new Netherland dwarf bunnies, a brother and sister who are now 11 weeks old. I have experience caring for my sister's two-year-old rescue rabbit (neutered male, unknown breed), but babies are new for me, and I have developed a couple...

Hi Blue Eyes. Thank you; all these responses have been very helpful! I really appreciate the advice. :)

One more thing about something Catlyn said: if I observe that my single bunny does seem lonely, how easy would it be to bond him to another bunny, given there are no bunny shelters in my area?

Hallo Lizzy and Catlyn. Thanks a lot for your great replies. It doesn't seem like the shelters in my area hold bunnies, so that may not be an option for me. I am out of the house most weekdays from nine to five; I'd be able to give the bunny lots of attention when home, but not during the day...

Hi there. I'm considering getting a rabbit (or two, so they're not lonely) for an indoor pet and have a couple questions--I was hoping someone in this forum could help me, as I want them to live happily! I understand that it's best to get an adult rabbit, especially as a first-time rabbit...
