I got my boy Dexter when he was 3 and had been a breeders (actually several breeders) buck. I got him in spring so I got the full force of his 'boy bunny hormones' and I have to say it was an eye opener as my other boy was neutered at 15 weeks so I never had any of that with him. Dexter would...

I actually have this exact issue as I have just got a baby bunny girl and bonded her with my 3 year old boy who because of mild digestive issues really can't have many pellets. What I did in the end was feed them breakfast and dinner together but then I put her in the hutch and give her lunch...

The little pockets do shrink, it took a good few weeks with my boy though but now they are almost non existent.

I have 4 bunnies, all different. I am lucky enough to have one little boy bun who is very affectionate, happy to be picked up and cuddled, licks me and will sometimes jump onto my lap if I put him down. He's lovely but is not the norm at all. My other rabbits range from a girl who is ok being...

If you wedge it into a corner that would help with her knocking in or stepping in it when she's running about. Although my baby bun kept putting both her front feet right into the water each time she drank from it silly girl! I have found that my bunnies really get on with Kaytee glass water...

It's really unpleasant when you see the worms, I sympathise with you. My Grace had worms last year and I saw them wriggling about on her behind. I phoned the vet who insisted that although it looked like worms they needed to see her to rule out fly strike! I panicked then and rushed her up as...

Grace, Delilah, Lulabelle, Florence. Once saw a bun named Talulah.

I have 2 pairs of buns (as you have seen on another thread I think) and one pair has the Burgess Excel and gets on great with that but my other pair of smaller buns seem to get on better with the Science Selective, my baby girl having been weaned onto it by her breeder as the vet they use...

Possibly a bit off topic but I have 4 rabbits, 2 of which have needed dentals so far, and it has involved anaesthetic both times (back teeth filing needed) and I looked at a few insurance providers but they always excluded dental work with rabbits and the excess was large in each case as well...

My 3 year old mini lop had sore hocks, amongst other issues, when I got him a few months ago. The vet said the skin will heal over but he may never grow fur back there again but he has completely healed with new fur and everything, just needed a clean dry environment.

There are special animal 'courier' services over here in the UK that have experience in small animal travel and special vehicles, etc for transporting animals long distance. Not sure if you have such companies over there but it may be worth finding out if you plan to fly and the airline isn't...

I'm pro adoption too but somehow it never seemed to work out for me. I set myself to rehome a 4 year old mini lop called George but when I went to collect him I questioned a large lump on his cheek which, long story short, ended up being something quite serious and the vet I saw him with (with...

Ooh, another thread where I can show off my bunnies! lol This is my little boy Dexter, he's 3. I got him in April after a breeder had finished with him. He has had a few issues due to not being looked after properly (kept in dirty hutches) and not being fed a proper diet but he is ok now and...

I should also add that there was no aggressive behaviour with the mounting and I never saw him bite into her at all when he did it but she was, as I said, very submissive.

I can't advise on the other stuff but as far as mounting goes I have 2 pairs and the ones I have just bonded went through a stage where as I left them together for longer and longer I noticed the male mounting the girl quite a bit for the first little while each day. I did let it happen to a...
