How did you introduce them to a litter box? My two get along great and their longest date is 21 hours, but a litter box always throws a wrench in the works! Looks like they have made great progress, congrats!

Hi everyone! I've been working with my two buns, Doc and Trixy, since November. We are finally in a really great place with their relationship - there is mutual grooming each time they are together, they share food well, they are content snuggling next to each other and are able to ignore...

Great find, thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone! I am on week three of bonding my two, Doc and Beatrix. They have been doing great, especially in comparison with the last girl Doc and I tried. Last night we had our longest bonding session yet - just over 4 hours in my bathroom, along with a litterbox for the last hour or so...

Would teeth issues affect her consumption of other foods? She finishes her greens every time I give them to her. I just tried the paper towel tube stuffed with hay, she loves it! Not sure how much she's actually eating, she started by just pulling a ton out, but she's having a ball either way. :P

And of course right after writing that last update, I cleaned the buns' boxes and put in fresh hay, and Trix is sitting in there eating right now. :p

Hi guys! Sorry I've been so lazy with updating this thing. It's definitely been a whole roller coaster type of situation, what with having to exchange little Rory, but I'm doing better with the decision. I settled on a name for my new girl - Beatrix. Like Beatrix Potter, she looks just like...

Thanks everyone! A couple of you asked about her pellet consumption - I try and keep both buns on a low pellet diet, so they share about 1/4th cup a day. Before I bought her timothy hay, I stopped giving her pellets for a few days until she began pooping more while eating timothy hay. She...

Hi everyone! I brought home a new bun a couple of weeks ago, and she has been quite picky with her hay. I am highly allergic to timothy so we use orchard grass, but I believe the shelter had been feeding her timothy. I broke down and got some timothy, and even after all my suffering while I...

Hi guys, it's been awhile.. After speaking with the lady who runs my shelter and considering my options for weeks.. I decided to exchange Rory rather than try to add a third to the mix. I know it was best for her and Doc - I know Doc does better with a friend, while Rory displays behavior that...

Guys, any input at all would be much appreciated. I'm giving myself a couple weeks to consider this option and then I must make a decision - to try out a third or exchange Rory for a different lady for Doc. Even if someone has advice on bonding trios in general, please chime in! Not only am I...

I know Jenny, it's been such a rough time I'm not sure whether or not I want to proceed with this option. Luckily, the woman offered right away that this could be a trial thing and if the third did not help, I could bring it back in no problem. This was something I was going to ask about, so...

As some of you know from my blog and past posts, I have tried every bonding method in the book for my two over the past eight months or so. I have abandoned all hope for them after a huge fight a few weeks ago. I called the woman at the shelter, and she suggested adding a third to the mix to...

I have stressed them in the past. Car rides, on the dryer or in a small pen in the laundry room with the machines running, in the bathroom with the fan on while I gently jostled the carrier.. They were usually okay with this, just once did they start something in a stressing situation, which was...

Thanks Troller. Maybe I'll feel better after yet another hiatus.. I'm glad Conan was okay and didn't need sutures. I just updated my blog about Doc's vet visit today, but long story short for this thread - he is okay like I thought, no major treatment needed, though he did receive shots of...

Well, Doc's trip to the vet went well, except for all the traffic I had to battle. Half hour visit door-to-door was almost two and a half hours!! He got shots of both metacam and baytril right away to start antibiotics and pain/swelling treatment, and I took home some oral versions of the same...

Thanks Blue eyes. Not to get all emotional, but I always felt I'd feel more "complete" after bonding Doc and Rory since I lost Dora so young. She and Doc were great together, and I could tell he missed having a friend with him after she passed, and I really miss seeing two happy buns together in...

The things I do for my rabbits, you guys. I stayed up fairly late because I was worried about Doc, only to get up early to call the vet right when they opened. (Not a morning person over here!) The only appointment was at 5, which I took, but MAN is traffic going to be completely terrible going...

Guys. I don't know what to do. I know Chris and some others saw my post seeking bonding help, but just for the sake of this blog, I'll just say that tonight I tried some of the immersion method. I planned to stay the night in my living room with them and let it all carry over well into tomorrow...

Thanks everyone for your responses. Troller, I had a second wind (though more like third or fourth or fifth wind) of confidence after your reply because I always knew you had a dramatic pair, even without having read your blog yet. I decided to give things a go tonight and set them up a really...
