"It was not me, I swear. Just little ol me minding my business. I was framed!"

Put the one that is picked on between your knees. Not in a vise but where he can pull his head back if he is not comfortable. The more assertive bunny will come over to check it out and usually will resort to a sniff 'n lunge. But you are present, you are the alpha, you can put hand on that...

After rectal surgery they have to loosely suture rectum shut. Which leaves the bun unable to poopie through that so you have to pick them out. I will do anything for my boy but I cannot imagine how painful it was for him because any manipulation pulls on the sutures. I sure hope he turns out ok...

What makes me so happy is the complete love and commitment all bunny parents have. We are passionate about our buns, advocates for bun and together are there to help anyone as best as we can. Bunnies are not a common pet, they fall way beneath the popularity of dogs and cats. Our babies are prey...

In a forum setting we are all submitting what has worked successfully for each of us. I have raised bunnies for 25 years and none have had toxic immobility ever. If a bunny owner has questions they can certainly contact their vet. I think its important though to realize the purpose of a forum...

I had always used a completely different method for a new bun who doesnt want to be touched. Its been really successful. I will get down on my hands and knees in front of bunny and lower my forehead to the ground. Its a submissive gesture in bunny bonding. Its establishing I am not going to...

Lenore the doe is such a little kid. She is like his shadow and sometimes he just wants a nice nap! She is always underfoot and super needy of his affection. He could be her dad, so weird to see.

Oh sorry, I have a fused thumb from RA surgery and my thumb hit the post reply. What I was going to add is to really try to not let anxious buns feel your worry because right now they are on high alert. Yep, I know what you mean, the aggressive one sometimes will do the faux...

Oh, one last thing, mak

Minus the aggression. You have to be patient and be the moderator, babysitting safe space. I would not be making them near the others things. You cant force bonding, it has to be taught sometimes. Bunnies hate sharing their stuff with an unwelcome bun. This method always works for me with...

Hi, I have had successful bonding many times but use a different method. Also, I would hold off on fostering right now. If your buns are having issues bonding, yet another newbie would be traumatic. Bunnies are hyper aware of each other and just the smell of a foster bun makes things way worse...

Look up Adams Family dancing to Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones on youtube. Its divine.

Yay, the Adams Family! I had a boy years ago that I named Pugsly. Morticia, Gomez and Pugsly should have met. Check out Wednesday dancing the Juke on youtube. She even slipped the Jerk in there too. Wednesday can really do her thang. I love Morticia and Gomez bun names, that takes me back to...

Yep, in a couple of months she will be terrible teen. I am hoping because he is old man that she won't be too sassy. When they sniffed noses for 1st time she put her nose under his chin which very submissive and it was beautiful. I had a doe who gave birth to 2 boys which I kept. All 3 of them...

Alarec is very passive and snuggie. He adores being held all cozy. This pic is how sweet he is. I love him to pieces, she lucked out with such a lovey boy, as did he.
