Do they live in the same place they were bonded? Do they live in where one of the rabbits previously lived by him/herself? That could definitely cause territory issues. For instance my rabbits live in a large xpen but their litter boxes are in a large dog cage. My female rabbit had previously...

I’ve had this happen before. Your bunny will be fine and she might miss you but remember it’s only a temporary situation. Also what I’ve done is left a short list of signs to look out for (no eating, not going to the bathroom, not moving much, ways that they act in pain, etc.) just so my...

Nice suggestion but lids are safe. The only way fumes would build up would be in-absorbent bedding or not cleaning enough. And if it’s the latter then that’s a whole other issue in itself.

The other suggestions are great you could also add one of those cat litter boxes with a lid. That way if he does dig the only bedding that will come out will come through the door hole if that. I also use wood pellets and have never had digging issues.

Sorry to hear this. Maybe a slower introduction? Or putting some items that smell like the rabbits in your cat’s space so she gets used to the smell. Also does your cat see you interacting with your rabbits as pets? She might not be able to tell that they’re part of the family and you’re ok with...

I’d say that now you could probably let her out for a little while. I would still keep her in the pen when you’re not supervising just incase anything were to happen. I doubt it will but just to be safe. However you should try to limit access to things that she has to jump on such as beds and...

Every time he pees outside the litter box it should be cleaned so that he will not be able to smell it in the future. I am assuming that he’s neutered but if he isn’t then that’s definitely the issue. What is their environment like? If they have a large area try confining them to a smaller area...

I’d invest in some wood/plastic covers for any baseboards or furniture. My rabbits destroyed our baseboards in some places. Also provide tons of toys the more toys he has the less likely he will be to go after your stuff. It also helps to go into this knowing that he might/probably will get into...

Yes does definitely need pain meds. Even with pain meds mine still wasn’t very active. They also needs lots of alone time to rest. How long have you been spending/around her? It’s good that you keep checking on her but she needs time to rest spays are very invasive. Also I’ve heard that syringe...

Definitely make sure there is more than just a single piece of cage between them- my female bit my male’s nose before she was spayed through a cage. The space shouldn’t really be an issue. I felt so bad having to keep my new female locked in XL dog cage before she was spayed but when it comes...

I think he’d probably be better off with just greens and hay for now. When using a different pellet you’ll always have to mix in the old pellets for a while until he becomes used to them. As long as his droppings and activity are the same then he should be fine!

I’m really sorry to hear all that she has gone through. I wish I could offer more insight but for now I’ll pray for her health

Was it a material similar to her litter box that she could’ve been confused? Some bunnies can still act territorial even after spaying especially because she is still young and in her “teenage” years

So sorry to hear this :(. Is is possible that it gets more irritated when she jumps high or far? Maybe removing bigger obstacles such as tall boxes so she can’t jump on top of them and end up irritating it. Or giving her a litter box with a shorter side so she isn’t straining it. I’m not sure...

Don’t blame yourself! Updates would be great. Worst case scenario you have 2 separated bunnies- which in my opinion isn’t bad at all!

It doesn’t seem too severe then- most likely just a bruise or blister. Just monitor her eating and droppings as that’s the most important health indication in a rabbit. Good luck!!

I wouldn’t let them free roam in the room as Bambi could be mad that Mocha is allowed out and she’s not. I had the same issue. I know it’s super hard to not let them Free roam but it’ll only be for a few weeks while mocha recovers. Then I started bonding them in a bathroom so that it was a...

Hm interesting. Is there a vaccine the new rabbit could get to become immune to snuffles? Your friend could ask advice from the vet such as would the new bunny suffer greatly or would the benefits of rescuing and bonding outweigh the possible negatives

Can you send the pictures to a vet somewhere? It might just be a bruise. As long as she is eating, pooping and not uncomfortable or in pain I’d see if it heals on it’s own

I understand the frustration. Maybe the age is the issue here. My rabbit is 3 and I’m not sure how old the one I adopted but I assume she’s about the same age. Food dating might help and like the other said just short positive/neutral interactions here and there. If you do decide to get a female...
