It sounds like the new one is not bonded with the others, correct? It's just a territorial thing and there's nothing you can really do. Until all of them are bonded and live in the same enclosure, this will continue to go on.

Hello all, One of my rescued rabbits that I adopted out came back to me, so I now have two bunnies instead of one. Her previous owner gave me a lot of stuff to use for her. One of the things she came with is some lavender scented Kaytee small pet bedding. Normally I wouldn't use it and would...

My female dutch, Olivia, is like this too. She's spayed. She was such a great bunny and then she just hit an age where she is just grumpy and angry a lot now regardless of how much exercise and pampering she gets. I don't know how old your bunny is, but it could just be a teenager thing. Olivia...

My bunny does that too with his box. I've noticed that he often intends to pee in the box and is sitting in it, but doesn't aim properly and it misses the box entirely. I've also noticed that this tends to happen more often when the box hasn't been cleaned in a few days and is getting kind of...

I've read mixed things on this, and I have thought about trying to introduce my pig and rabbit for just play time (not living together). So far, I haven't personally had good luck with it. My bun gets upset because the pig always wants to cuddle and groom him, while he isn't really into that. I...

I'm really sorry to hear that your bunny didn't make it and that you had to watch her deteriorate so much like that. I lost a bunny earlier this year, and it never really does get easier. Now, I'm going out on a limb here when I say this, but I think I have a theory what happened. My rabbit...

Thanks, JBun! I recently moved from MI to OH and had a hard time getting a rabbit savvy vet in my area. I did manage to get one, although I was not impressed with the way he handled my baby. No culture was done, just a visual examination. He listened to his lungs, heart, and under his chin. Also...

Yeah, it's best to avoid baths if you can. Bunnies have really sensitive skin and even the gentlest of shampoos can dry out their skin. But, there are times that it is necessary to prevent urine scald. I personally have had success with organic pet shampoos. The one brand that specifically...

Has he suffered any injury on that side? Sometimes injuries can cause one ear to be permanently flopped.

So my bunny has the sniffles. It started on Friday, and I took him to the vet on Saturday. No symptoms then except for sneezing fits so we decided to wait it out and make sure it wasn't just a response to a new brand of bedding (we changed brands of paper pellet bedding). So then by Monday he...

It's not impossible, no, but the chances are very slim. It's good to wash your hands after handling your sick bun though just in case.

My lionhead, Hegel, is just the same way. Nothing has worked. Not ignoring him, clapping, thumping, or anything. He does it usually early in the morning or late at night after he has had his exercise time. I should mention that he is almost 2, is neutered, and has plenty of chew things in his...

I disagree. I don't think it's necessarily hopeless. It could be that, back then, they had a fight initially and then were holding a grudge that prevented any future bonding. The first fight probably ruined the chances of bonding back then. But bunnies eventually forgive and move on. So, your...

Unfortunately, adding more bunnies into your household (even if the current ones are bonded) can upset a bond as it creates a new dynamic in the house. The fact that one of the females is unspayed, too, can lead to fighting and can actually set back bonding your bunnies a lot. I would try to...

To be honest, I'm posting this a bit late. It has been about a month since Lily passed. I have wanted to make a post about this for awhile but I felt too devastated to even come on here. So I haven't been on the forum in over a month. Lily was supposed to be my bf's rabbit, but I came to be...
