Know this may sound crazy, but perhaps if you found him a companion, he would be more interested in her than in disturbing your sleep? he would be happier too , during the day, and more content at night. The other option I have found is buy some really good earplugs ! feed him and make sure he...

All my buns are rescued . They are part of the family. If I can I shall take more as I have more time these days. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy rescued bun binkying around on the lawn! Everyone should rescue if they can.

PS...good luck with the trio bonding!

Thank you very much. I think I shall go for it as he is looking very forlorn at the moment. Your advice has been very encouraging , thank you :)

Thank you so much, shall certainly take your advice about spending more time with him. I also have a bonded female trio, who are ok most of the time, but occasionally the two older ones pick on the youngest. I wondered wether I could move her and start thinking about setting her up with...

I have today lost my beautiful Violet (Small grey Lionhead) ....she was paired with Buzz who is a very handsome Mini Rex. He is a bit lost and confused as he can't seem to find her and he is opening a lot of time just sitting, which is unusual as he is often belting about! Is he grieving? if so...

Recycled compressed paper pellets are great... just chuck them on the compost heap, I always wash my Bun's litter tray out with dilute vinegar as this cuts down the smell and is a natural cleanser...also I layer the litter tray with pellets on the bottom and lots of bedding hay on top. Works a treat

I have 5 buns... one trio of lady buns and a bonded pair... I was wondering if anyone had noticed heightened and aggressive behaviour as Spring approaches? The girls are often not interested in their food and spend a lot of time chasing each other and nipping at each other, even though they have...

I am no expert, but I rehomed 3 individual lady buns from a neighbour who was struggling with looking after them and her young family, and have spent the last year successfully bonding them. it is a long , slow process . Two of them are related ( mother and daughter) and then there is a baby...

Hi there, I have 3 does who live together and most of the time they areal happy to use their litter tray, but sometimes, if there is a change in the weather, or change in the type of hay I give them, it is as if they go on dirty protest and just poop anywhere. I then give the entire set up a...

Thank you both for the advice. i like the idea of hay cubes, i may give those a go. They are quite small buns, and do not weigh any more than about 5 lb, so I should perhaps cut down on the pellets. I always change the hay, daily and sometimes twice daily, and the forage is usually, dandelion...

I give them each about 2 eggcup fulls of pellets a day, and the rest is forage. i do not give them nuts! my mistake, I meant to say pellets. Would they be ok if I just gave them hay for a while???

I have three rescue bunnies, who have had a bit of a tough time, but I rescued them about 3 months ago and they are showing some real signs of improvement. however, they will not eat hay. I have tried everything...alfalfa, timothy, meadow mix , evenly from my own field that my horse and my two...

Thank you everyone for your advice. Will def get them neutered...and shall give it a go.

Hi there, have recently rescued a couple of buns and not knowing them at all found that one was quite aggressive when I put my hand in to feed her. I am not fully sure why this is , but did get some advice from a woman at a rescue centre who said if this happens, just quietly , but firmly hold...
