Just to mention as well, she's pooping and eating normally.

Our bun occasionally gets a poopy butt. She has very long fur and sometimes there is a buildup of poop where I have to trim the hair under her tail. I've read that a decline in grooming can signify underlying health issues but she has always had this issue where it's just a bit too much to...

Hello, bun is being treated for conjunctivitis atm. Now, I have allergies at the best of times but my eye has been very itchy since this morning. I always scrub my hands before and after treating but does anyone know, can conjunctivitis spread from rabbit to human? Hoping its just a bit of dry skin.

Our little buck of six years, Banzaii, passed away the November before last. We were very worried about his partner Biggi and how she would cope. We couldn't have Banzaii inside as he left a wanton trail of destruction in his wake and was the rabbit version of Houdini when it came to breaking...

Personally, when we lost our first lad, Banzaii, last year, we thought we'd see how his partner Biggi behaved for a while and then consider introducing her to a new friend after a while. She. Is. Fantastic. It's like she's a baby bun again. She does more zoomies and binkies, she is way more...

Our pet shop stopped stocking the pellets we give our bun. She's nibbling at the new ones a small bit but eating plenty hay and greens. I'll find a shop that stocks the old food or buy it online, but it could be Wednesday before I have the chance to do that. She's still the poop machine she...

Sudden GI Stasis took our boy yesterday and we had to have him put to sleep very quickly. We all said our goodbyes last night before sending him on his final journey. I hope his buddy Biggi can cope without him. She has Loki the cat to keep her company at least. We're all very sad and miss him a...

I bought lino for really cheap that I put down on the tiles of our kitchen floor. It's easy to lift and clean.

Mine used to be indoor but their stuff took up too much room so we keep them outside now and bring them in to sleep in the kitchen when it's cold or raining... We get the best of both worlds this way because they love living outside but also love the treat of being snuggled up with us on a...

One of the bunnies, Banzaii and his friend, Loki.

It sounds to me like he's letting you know that those areas are his property. I'm guessing he's not a neutered bunny? This type of behaviour is more typical of a male who feels territorial. You could get some extra litter boxes and put them in any problem areas. Cover the areas with newspaper...

Yeah, that's probably it actually. Up until May, the hutch was inside but I moved out out to the back garden and the grunting started gradually after that. I'm making a big effort to spend lots of time around them during the day and petting him in the hutch several times a day to reassure him...

Oh, and he's about 11 months old neutered since December. He was always a bit cranky; he was born in a house with a yippie dog and roughly handled by children, possibly harassed by bigger rabbits when he was small.

My little dude Banzaii, while playful and happy outside of his hutch, is a cranky bugger sometimes. If I put my hand in the hutch, like to change his food or litter box, he'll get ridiculously territorial and lunge for my hand. He's never bitten me, and I mostly try to do any maintenance when...

What I would do is put newspaper over the entire area first, watch and see where they go the first time and then put the litter box there (with hay at the edge so they'll be enticed in), giving them treats when they use it.

Could it be that the other rabbit is biting him there and leaving a mark?

It's great to hear that you have someone to check on them, even just for your own peace of mind. We've gone away for a week and had my partner's mother look in on them every second day and change their litter in the middle of the week. We were glad just to have someone telling us how they were...

I clip my Biggie's nails every few weeks as she's so docile and lovely. But Banzaii is cantankerous at the best of times and his nails are dark so it can be very difficult to get him to hold steady. Last week, he bucked as I cut his nail and I nicked the vein. Jesus Christ, I dunno who was more...

Thanks for all the replies, I'm glad to hear it's not just my cuties... I didn't suspect it was a problem with the spay because she's never had anything like that before. I reckon she's just being submissive to him. Although she did mount him the other day, so she could be planning on staging a...

My two bunnies, Biggi and Banzaii, are very good friends by now. They hang out and chill together almost all of the time. However, I've noticed in the last week or so, she has become really demanding - trying to get him to groom her all the time (when she's not incessantly grooming him!) and...
