    Alyssa's Bunny Blog!

    I had a love at first sight bond as well. We took it slow, my male, Binks, was all into grooming her and she, not so much. The rescue told me that this could be an issue, and that at some point he will want to be groomed too, and to watch for nipping and humping. He did nip, mostly humped...

    Rabbit is overdue !

    Sounds like she was ready to have babies. I've experienced 4 births and each was different. One started pulling fur a week early, one pulled fur a few days early, one pulled fur about an hour before, and one - we weren't home for....she made the nest and 4 - 4.5 hours later we came home to...

    Bunny spilling hay!

    Pick up some Nic grids, use the zip ties to keep them together. they come with zip ties, you can buy better, thicker,longer ones at the dollar store. Then zip tie half to the pen and use Velcro strips or s-clips to secure the other end...I can't send pics now but that is what I did with my...

    Cabinet Conversion Thread

    Some of mine too. I call them Parrot buns...they want to sit on my shoulder and look around...it's really funny. So I have some that will climb onto my shoulder while on the couch and also when we are outside they will jump up on my shoulder...silly bunnies.

    ANTS in my bunnies cage!

    To help get rid of the trail, safe for buns, use a 50/50 water/distilled white vinegar mix and spray. It will kill the ants, kill off the "sent" of the trail, and it's ok for the bun. Outside same, but it will not keep them away if you have something that is attracting them. I have used...

    Helping a Classroom Bunny... help!

    Good for you, and that bunny boy! Regarding the boys "that will love him", I would ask their ages and if they have HOURS to spend with the bunny and if it doesn't seem/feel right, tell her NO. You've already been given the OK from the teacher to take home. Maybe suggest to the teacher a...

    Clicker Training TWO buns.... are DIFFERENT clickers needed?

    I would love to do something like this - agility course and harness training. I only clicker trained some of my rabbits so it would be easier to gather them when outdoor play time was up...they come running when they hear it now...I used pellets as a reward system too.

    Rabbit won't leave cage

    Paper bedding is expensive, you may want to get a 40 lb bag of horse bedding (runs between $5 and $10 a bag and last a while if you only have one rabbit) to save money and smell. Just a suggestion if you are concerned about costs. I have 28 rabbits and I switched over and it is cleaner, less...

    Make a rabbit secure indoors

    I suppose it's possible - but I have heard that when bonding that rabbits with good habits can also take on bad habits from a bond. You never know...if you could get them to stay together all the time your other rabbit could become like a safety "blanket" but there's no telling really. I wish...

    Behavior modification, Punishment, Correction, Negative Reinforcement, Choices, Consequences, Safety

    This is an interesting topic! So, hopefully no one will get mad at me but, I found the whole "Ouch" shriek when bitten not work. So I bit my bunny back. Not hard mind you, on the ear. Said "No, Bite. We don't bite, we give love and snuggles." Now I did this with the litters as little...

    Wrinkley kits????

    Adorable - miss my little baby buns. They are just SO SO SWEET!!! I love that age, roaming around, but will come running and boop your nose, and dig on you for love. My, even now, will use me as a jungle gym...I have a few that jump up on my shoulder like a "parrot bun" as I call them. Miss...

    Make a rabbit secure indoors

    Try calling his name as you enter the room or are coming close, talk to him as opposed to making loud noises, this could be causing him to pause and get scared and then seeing a shape coming near makes him run?...this can better help him decipher the general location where you are coming from...

    Small Poops

    It is molting season, could be excessive hair in stomach...try giving a few dried papaya for the next day or two...if it is hair in the gut it can help it break down and pass. This suggestion is only if he is eating, drinking, peeing and pooping regularly just having smaller poops. I notice...

    Sneezing rabbit

    I have been reading that around this time a year, even fixed rabbits, will get hormonal from "spring fever"...it's that time of year. Usually a rabbit savvy vet can palpitate the stomach and feel "marbles" which are supposed to be the baby bunnies after the 14th day or conception...but if you...

    Head tilt (wry neck)

    I have a rabbit that was fine and in hours, one day, went from normal to a small tilt, to full on can't walk, head tilted and "rolling". I rushed her to the vet. She was assumed to have E. cuniculi and my vet said it hit her nervous system causing the head tilt. She was on antibiotics and...

    Bunny Poop help?

    Great advice from everyone! You can also try cutting the hay you have into smaller pieces and put in the bowl - this might help him further. Have you tried hand feeding, this might help as well. I had a bun that was too young to be from him mom and was VERY sick and I would feed him critical...
