behavior

Now that I've got your attention, let me be perfectly clear: I have never & will never physically harm my bunny. That being said, my goal IS to get him to obey a few very specific COMMANDS for safety. BTW, his name is "Fatty Pants" & he's a 16 week old Flemish Giant.:) I have read countless...

I am sorry to bother everybody with a new issue, but yesterday was really a tough day. After coming home I realized my table which is next to the playpen was disarranged, the keyboard moved and the worst thing some monitor cables chewed on (fortunately still working). It seemed that Tinto had...

Hi, I've had Jupiter for about 5 years he's 6 and he's gotten to a point where his behavior has changed so much and I don't know what to do. He thumps so much throughout the night. He trained me good with his thumping by giving him treats when he acts up at 2am! Now he won't stop thumping! The...

Is my bunny bored or lonely?? I cannot find out. I watched tons of videos on youtube about bonding and therefore I have been trying to sit inside the playing pen every morning and every evening, but sometimes my bunny boy ignores me, sometimes he gets nervous as if I was disturbing him. I don't...

It's such a mysterious little creation! I wish I could understand my bunny... I feed him, clean his litter box, at times he seems feeling comfortable with me, but still when I come home, at first he looks anxious or kicks the ground as if being angry. Or, after we play in the morning with all...

So we got Doris on 1/5/19 at 12 weeks and she acclimated very well to our home and was potty trained the first weekend. she was binkying and zoomin and seemed to really like her space. the following weekend we started to free roam and she ended up becoming 100% free roam and has been since. One...

Sorry guys, I am sure many people asked and replied about this elsewhere but I have several doubts and questions about how to take care of my bunny. If you don't mind, I'd be glad to hear some advice... 1) Everybody says that bunnies need unlimited amount of hay all the time... BUT, what should...

Hi guys. I've been having some troubles with my little boy around feeding time. He's not at all an aggressive rabbit but when it's feeding time he grunts, lunges, and bites me. He's un-neutered so I may be part of that, but I would think that would make him aggressive overall. I really want to...

About 3-4 weeks ago I purchased a rabbit. I have been wanting one for a while so this was exciting for me. At first he seemed pretty shy, but now he seems pretty comfortable with me to the point where he’ll climb on me and eat treats out of my hand, etc. he’s about 4-5 months old. However...

I have 2 buns, 1 male mini lop (2.5 years old) named Oreo and 1 English spot (< 1 year) named Zelda. Both belong to my son, who has gone off to college this fall, and so I'm now their primary caregiver. Zelda has no problems, but Oreo has a special bond with my son and hasn't been the same since...

Hello! My bun is about 5-6 months old. Around 3-4lbs. In the morning I give him romaine hearts and in the evening a 1/2 cup pellets. He has always loved romaine and would chow down the moment I filled his bowl. The past few days he has been eating less and less of it. It used to be gone before...

I volunteer at a rescue for buns and a new bun just came in that I am head over heels for. My current bun is super social so I’d like to get him a buddy. To me this would be perfect but as we know it may not be perfect for them. My bun is about 6 months old, male, neutered, very social, very...

Hello! My bun is about 5-6 months old. He is neutered (for about a month now). I brought him home after he was fixed. He’s been a happy playful boy. Very adventurous and VERY social. Today I went to clean up his cage a bit and he bit me. I then went and sat down and he jumped into my lap and...

Hello Everyone! I have a bunny that I adopted in July, I made him a hay rack just like the one I have for my lop. My lop I got as a baby and he has had no issues with his hay rack. I had no issues with my new rabbit eating out of his hay rack either. However, he started trying to take it off...

Hello I recently took in a year and a half old mini lop bunny from an owner who couldn't keep him anymore due to her other rabbit disliking him. the first weekend I had with him he seemed fine, he ran around happily enjoyed being held and humped his favorite toy relentlessly. it seemed he was...

Evening to you all, so my boyfriend and I adopted a bunny from a shelter. She’s 2 years old and was spayed 5 days ago. Last night she kept me up till 2am hopping around and nibbling at things. I noticed this morning and yesterday (being her first night with us) that she’s been chewing the bars...

Hi RabbitsOnline community! We are new here. Waffles came into our home this summer and we love him to bits, and he's a pretty content guy. I haven't been a bunny mom in a while (I had rabbits when I was younger), but fell right back into it. :) We also have 5 cats, each of whom were very...

I have cared for sick bunnies before, but this is different. We have a rabbit savvy vet who has years of experience in both her practice as well as in rescues. She seems even stumped at this one. Ginger was diagnosed first with GI stasis. Then after they were able to get a poo sample, they...
