I have my trio and it has it's own issues I will discuss at the end. First my biggest my bonded pair.
Elvis and Teresa have been bonded for about a year. Elvis has always been a healthy eater. A chow right down, dig in till there is nothing left. Now Teresa can and has made 1/4 pellets last up to three feedings. She will chow down on salad and hay that you don't worry. Now since being with Elvis he tends to eat his half and half if not more of hers. We noticed the last month and half that she has dropped weight(Still healthy weight just not what we want), he has gained a little bit (Still healthy just more than we want).
So wehave beenseparating her at feeding time and when we can during the day. It is hard to make sure she is getting enough feedings. We have been debating separating them. Teresa would do fine, Elvis we are not sure would. We are also trying to figure a better set-up, currently we have a small cube made out of NIC that Teresa goes into inside of their pen. We are thinking about making a 4 long by 2 wide pen with a flap that sections it off in to 1x2 section to feed her and a 3x2 for Elvis. If it doesn't get them to where we want them at we may have to separate them. Which we would like to avoid.
So now my trio, Connor, Dallas, and Chibi... So issue one DALLAS is a DISGUSTING little bunny dude. He is so lazy he will sit in his pee. No matter what we try he doesn't try to do better. Smaller space, no soft materials just solid surface, soaking pee in towel tossing it in to litter pan... NOTHING. The only two thing that has worked has been cleaning DAILY (which is a pain) or filling up every inch of floor space with litter pans. Yea that looks so awesome. That worked but they couldn't just zip around. I am out of idea other than the cleaning daily. So anyone have ideas?
Now he also will also over eat, thank god we now have the food balanced that his over eating isn't causing excess cecals.
