@Chelsey: I would say the biggest thing that set them up for success was switching them between enclosures each and every night. And I did that for months. Every step was taken slowly because I was determined to succeed. It sounds like there’s some positive signs with your two, he just needs to...

Hello all, I’ve been away for a while but decided to log back in and say hi. I admit when the site format changed I just didn’t have time to adjust to it. Anyhoo. Chip and Cali are still in love and living the dream in our basement. They are mostly free roam. Chip has stopped coming upstairs for...

So very sorry for your loss! What an incredibly long life! I’m sure she enjoyed every minute with you.

Rabbits should have hay available to them in large amounts 24 hours a day. You don’t mention any hay in your post. Hay keeps their gut moving. You also don’t mention much about the living environment, daily routine (I.e. exercise time etc) or anything like that. So it’s hard to...

Gestation is 31days so give her a nest box and wait for her to pull fur. Perhaps others could jump in here as I am no expert in rabbit breeding.

When was she bred?

Welcome! What a handsome fellow you have there! Have fun getting to know each other, this new bunny in the house time can be so much fun!

I recommend opposite sex, spayed/neutered and similar in age.

Sincerest condolences. You did all you could for her :rainbow:

Um no. I’ve seen your other post about your mom being reluctant to spend money on the pets you do have, adding more would just complicate things wouldn’t it? Vet care can be very expensive and it’s something people don’t factor in often enough when thinking about...

So sorry you are going through this. My first impression is it could be a complication from her spay surgery. But I’m not a vet. If it were me and it were affordable I think I would do the exploratory surgery but prepare myself for the worst outcome. I think bunnies have a very poor chance...

Thanks everyone.. I just had a gut feeling that it would work out for them. I think it just took a lot of time for Cali to get over losing her last partner and open her heart again. To be honest, everyone who meets chip likes him, he’s just a likeable sort. Bit of a food thief, but no...

No they aren’t safe, sorry. Just look at the ingredients. This is junk food. I’d return it straight away.

At long last I have an update. Chip and Cali have successfully bonded and are living together. I separated them for months. I still had them living side by side, and this is the key part: I switched them between enclosures, faithfully, every single night. I really think this is so important when...

One thing you need for bonding rabbits is neutral territory, which you would have plenty of when you move. So I’d wait if I were you. Are you moving soon or is that years away?
