Hopefully that never happens to these two. Sometimes they disagree for a couple of days before settling down. They seem to work things out without anyone getting hurt. Recently Tulip was in one of her rampages, running around like she does and lunging at Mr Bunny, possibly due to a novel object...

My bunnies have been bonded for a couple of years now and this isnt anything new but they fight like brother and sister. They run at each other and nip and grunt. The next minute they switch to mounting and head butting. And then taking turns grooming eachother. The minute after that they are...

Personally I love having the bunnies inside. When I lived by myself Mr Bunny was a house rabbit and regularly had run of the living room. Now that I have dogs, the buns prefer to hang out in their room, which is just off the kitchen. I'm building an outside addition to give them more space and...

Thank you! That will mix easily with the wood pellets they are already using in the house, so it would be easy to get them used to it. I didnt even know they made paper pellet litter. It sounds perfect

Oh not relevant to you then I suppose 😄 I haven't figured it out for my own sake as I'm building an outdoor hutch and run for my indoor bunnies and they may need a litterbox out there too. They will have a cat door to go in and out as they please.

What is the best litter to use in an outside litterbox? I'd think it would freeze into a solid block in the winter and be hard to clean

That $.88/sf is for 1/2 by 1 inch mesh btw, smaller mesh than that and the gauge of the wire goes down past what's safe. Thank you for the group! I requested a join 😊

A 4x8 sheet of half inch plywood right now is $29.57. That's $.92 per square foot. A roll of 16 gauge cage wire by contrast is $.88 a square foot or less, depending on the size of the mesh. 🤷‍♀️

Plywood is more expensive than welded wire so it's not a money issue. Actually by the time I'm done with their outdoor area I will have spent somewhere close to 500 dollars. Right now I'm thinking I will build it with 2 stories, one of which will be 4 feet off the ground. That level will be...

I have a few different designs I've tossed around. The plywood is to be cautious and for peace of mind on my part. Also to help them feel safe. I will be attaching an enclosed run to the pen with daytime access, so they will be enjoying a lot of pluses of the outdoors safely and if they get hot...

Dont be too hard on yourself, it was true love. You cant stop true love. Not with a thousand cages.

Bunnies are easy to litterbox train. A big part of it imo is going along with their natural instincts. Put the box in a corner where she will feel safe and put her hay above it. If she has an accident, no big deal. Wipe it up with a paper towel and put it in the litterbox. Also remember to...

I get the 3 foot long under-the-bed storage totes. They work awesome! Right now I have 2 that I rotate when I clean their room once a week (sometimes 2 weeks 😬 dont do that, it gets stinky) Mine are about 7 inches high. I think shorter than that and you're likely to have bunnies accidentally...

Pavers could be an option. I wonder if just sweeping it out periodically would be enough to keep it clean then or if it would stink after a while? They are litterbox trained in the house but I dont know what they will do when they are outside. I'm also going to build them a big dig box outside...

Hi! I haven't posted in a while. Mr Bunny and Tulip are getting an outside pen which they will have access to through a cat door in the window. The pen will be 4x8 with a solid roof and plywood on 3 sides. The front will be welded wire. I cant decide what would be the best option to put on the...
