I named my Netherland dwarf (formerly George) Bofur after the dwarf in The Hobbit I thought he looked like

If you make a high pitched squeal noise that often alerts them that something is not okay and will hopefully (pardon the pun) nip it in the bud. I've also heard if you gently press their head down for a few seconds it shows your dominant and that the behavior won't be tolerated. Good luck!!!

Congratulations first of all on the new member of your family! You could try just using your hand after you've run it under water, I have found that that method does a stellar job!(my bun hated the combs/brushes so this was the alternative) What kind of rabbit is it??? I think the appointment...

It could be you handling her that makes her anxious. Since they're prey animals they are predisposed to being anxious with being lifted or held.

It took me and my bun close to 10months to get to the point he'd let me pet him. So don't give up!

Just relax in their room. Take a book or a computer or something and go in then ignore them. They'll get curious and eventually come over and then they'll nudge or bow and demand to be groom and you'll know you've struck gold :-)

He also might be marking his new territory in regards to his erratic litter behavior! You should try to get him on a schedule for like breakfast and dinner (at my house we did seven and seven) and hand feed some of his goodies that way it helps him to bond with you and gets a schedule going...

I would just call and simply tell the receptionist that you have a bun that's going downhill and you don't want him to suffer so you need to schedule the appointment. I worked at multiple vets and we had those calls on a very regular basis. It's tough but you have to look at his quality of life...

Could she be marking her territory since you got new carpet

Tunnels and cardboard boxes along the edges. However that only works so well if your Nethies are anything like mine who went where he wanted even if blocked off he found a way!

For sure! The laminate will be loads easier to clean but bun should be fine to be on it! It's always a good idea for them to have a variety of flooring to be on. It helps prevent sore hocks. Just a tip for the times bun has an accident (or ornery attitude and does it deliberately) have a...

They sell carpeting squares that you can place around and they're not usually very expensive! Also those would work for when your buns out for playtime as they can't run very well on laminate so you may get binkies with a bit of carpeting or a rug around!

Did you recently clean the area? Could he be marking territory? Or did you do anything that might have made him upset with you? I know my bun would go on the floor right outside his cage if I did anything he didn't like

If you're looking they sell them on Amazon

I would advise against getting a dwarf as they are *typically* more high strung and persnickety. Dutch bunnies are good for children as they *typically* have good temperament. They normally do better in pairs but they need to have plenty of space and the pet store cages are not large enough...

Certain brands I've heard are less dusty than others

Have you tried ordering my via Amazon? I know that's how I get various bun things since it's hard to get ahold of here in the states. I can't be any actual help as my bun didn't get pellets just fresh salads!

I personally wouldnt go unless I could get someone to at least stop and check on the bun twice a day. If family&friends aren't an option can you call your veterinarian and see if they know any pet sitters? Or perhaps on a local FB page seeing if anyone would be interested that you would be...

I'd give my bun romaine for either breakfast or dinner daily, cilantro and endive mon, wed, fri alternating between breakfast and dinner, escarole and dandelion greens tues, Thurs and sat alternating between b&d, parsley Friday nights and a combo of whatever was left on Sunday's. Plus a papaya...

Where are you giving the injection? If it's in the back you can try to burrito wrap the bun and he it like a football with buns head facing back by your elbow
