    we have a spayed lionhead and neutered lionhead mix. We have swapped scent marked toys for weeks then for weeks have been putting the bunnies outside every day in separate adjoining playpens, alternating playpens each day. They show obvious interest in each other but the female has bitten the...

    How long to keep separate after neuter?

    I have an unaltered female netherland, and she cannot be spayed. I am fostering a dwarf hotot who was neutered last Thursday, and her and him live in cages side by side- they groom, lay together, and they play through the cage. I really want to know how long I need to wait before letting them...

    Dog doesn’t like new rabbit! Help!

    I have a two dogs. One is calm and likes to be around my new bunny and the other one (that I got from the pound) is more aggressive towards him, so much that I had to put my rabbits cage in my room and so I barely can see him throughout the day. Any tips on getting my dog used to him? Or how to...

    Nothing happier than a binking bunny

    I have a couple bunnies that I’ve kept apart for well over a year…probably approaching two. I had a fixed male Netherland Dwarf but adopted a rather neglected unfixed female Lionhead. The Lionhead is much bigger, and I kept them apart fearing some sort of ‘fights.’ But over a month ago, I...

    Are my rabbits bonded?

    I have a female and male rabbit, both 6 months old that are in together. They sometimes snuggle and lay near each other, and also eat from the same food bowl. However, a lot of the time my female keeps running away from the male whenever he comes near her, which often results in a loud racket as...

    Bunnies Fighting!!

    Hello! I need help! I have 2 holland bucks that I rescued from a hoarding situation that are 5 months old now. Both were neutered 3 weeks ago. When I first got them at 8 (ish) weeks, there was a scuffle during a "bunny date" that resulted in a bleeding ear. I eased up on the bonding for a week...

    Rabbits humping?

    I have two male rabbits (a dutch and a dwarf lop without lopped ears (?) ). They’re eight months old and they’re the closest pair ever. They basically act like a married couple until recently. Romeo has been humping Jacob endlessly at least every 5 minutes when they’re out the hutch and Jacob...

    Professional Bonders in MA

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I usually frequent another bunny forum, but I thought I'd expand my search to this one too. I've had my boys (neutered for over a year) for a year and a half. I've tried bonding them myself a few times, and it always ends in a stand off between the two. Yes...

    Pre pre bonding?

    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...

    Single grey bunny seeking friend?

    I had my Netherland as a lone rabbit for about a year. She has lots of energy and I'm concerned she doesn't have anyone she can play with to keep her happy. All the animals in my home are elderly, so they sleep mostly and sometimes get annoyed when she expressed to much energy at them LOL. Her...

    Does bun need a friend?

    We got our Gabby (see profile pic) a month ago. She has adjusted well and completely free roams the downstairs of our house. We are away at work from 6:30am till 3:00pm. I don't think she minds, but how would I know? Anyhow, the person we got Gabby from reached out and offered a free male...

    Difficult Bonding

    Hi, I have a Netherland Dwarf male of nearly 3years old (neutered). I keep him free around the house since I’ve taken him home. About a month ago a friend of mine was giving away three baby dwarf rabbits so I’ve decided to get him a female companion (she is now around 4months old)...

    Violent Barbering...Will This Ruin Bonding?

    I got another rabbit to pair with my girl about two months ago. They are male and female, and both are fixed, so I was hoping it would go well. However, after having them live in pens next to each other for over a month, I am hesitant to do the face-to-face meet. They are generally...

    Male rabbit changed female rabbit's personality

    Hi! This the first time I post here, as I failed to find answers to my question online and am hoping somebunny can shed some light on it. I have a 1 year and 4 months rabbit who didn't change much after being fixed, except for succeeding at potty training and not circling/mounting everything...

    Hey everyone, Yesterday I got 2, 2 month old Holland Lops, one doe (Olive), and one buck (Murphy). I have them in a large exercise pen with a big dog kennel in it with the door off (which they like to hide in and behind). I've been sitting in the pen, letting them come up to me on their own...

    Excessive amount of fur in hutch, help

    As you can tell by the images attached I found an incredible amount of fur in my rabbits hutch, this hutch was only cleaned out the day before so this is from 24 hours. I have found the odd bit of fur here and there before but never clumps and to the extent that it could fill a bag! Let me know...

    Bonding two males??!

    Hello everyone, I have an almost year old Holland lop. I am in the process of deciding on whether or not to adopt a bunny from the local humane society. The bunny is around a year old they believe. I'm thinking he may be a Rex. He is very sweet and I have slightly fallen in love with the bunn...
