We have 2 bonded bunnies - Gizmo is a 3 year old spayed female we've had for about 2 years - Nova is a 2 year old spayed female we've had since November We had a very easy and successful bond with Nova and Gizmo, it only took about 2 weeks before they were full on living together - they...

A little bit of backstory: We had Gizmo for about 1 1/2 years, she's a 3 year old spayed female lop. In October we decided to get her a companion, so after speed dating we adopted Nova, a 1 year old spayed Lionhead. Bonding went great and within a month they were living together happily. We...

Hi, I've been having daily bonding sessions with my rabbits for about 10 days now. During these sessions, I've noticed Nova really likes to groom Gizmo around the eye area, to where the skin around Gizmos eye is starting to look slightly red. While I love the grooming during bonding, I'm not...

I've only been bonding Gizmo and Nova for about a week now, and things are going great. I've seen grooming (both rabbits), mounting, mirroring, laying near each other, flopping, eating in front of each other, etc. No aggression whatsoever from either rabbit. How do I know when the rabbits...

I'm trying to get some feedback as to how things are going so far, we've now had 3 bonding sessions. Background: Gizmo - been with us 1 year. 3 year old spayed female lop. Spoiled, pretty lazy and chill rabbit. Had 2 dates with Nova, both successful where Nova groomed, although Gizmo...

After a successful second date, we brought Nova home today. Right now we have the bunnies living in separate cages, separate rooms. We had grooming on both dates from Nova (Gizmo just sat there a bit nervous, while Nova groomed her). Is it too soon to start bonding sessions tomorrow? I...

Hi! I've been on these boards a lot lately, as we're planning to add a second bunny to our home. We currently have a 2 year old female (spayed) Holland Lop names Gizmo. We went on a round of speed dates, and had a successful first date with a lionhead that we absolutely love. She groomed...

We have two shelters we're looking to adopt through to find a bonded mate for Gizmo. Two scenarios: Shelter #1 - 20 minutes from home, encourages 2-3 dates before bringing a new bunny home, but discourages the return of a new rabbit if bonding isn't successful (which is the part I'm not fond...

Gizmo is a 2 year old female (spayed) Holland Lop. Normally every morning when we wake up, I open Gizmo's cage door, and she's pretty active, she'll come out of her cage, run around, binky a bit, sometimes it's her most active time of the day. This morning when I opened her cage, she didn't...

We are looking to adopt a second bun, the shelter we're speaking with just got in about 10 new bunnies that will be getting spayed and neutered over the next couple of weeks. After surgery for these rabbits, how long should we wait before we bring Gizmo there to introduce her to them and do a...

We've been considering a second bunny for Gizmo for a while now. Gizmo is a 2 year old spayed Holland lop we adopted about 14 months ago. Our local shelter will let us set up bunny dates, and suggests at least 2-3 separate meetings before bringing a new bunny home. We would make sure Gizmo...

I currently have a spayed female Holland Lop. We adopted her about a year ago, and she's about 2 years old. We're considering adopting a second bun and I have some questions before I go all in and commit to this. *Since I have a spayed female, what's the best pairing, another female or a...

We've had Gizmo for going on a year now. She's been a great pet, and seems to be happy living with us. Last night though, she started thumping. This is new behavior for her, so it's got us a bit worried (and confused!). She would thump her back feet once, about every 5 minutes, and this...

I'm upgrading bunny's home and getting a 48" dog crate. It comes with one of the trays that goes inside, which I'll cover with fleece and some other soft surfaces, but I'm wondering how to contain all of the hay from getting outside of the cage I like the look of this (under tray/floor)...

I went looking for wood stove pellets, and wanted to make sure I was getting ones that were safe for bunny. The guy at the store said most bunny owners he sees buy this one, http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/superior-super-premium-grade-pine-fuel-pellets/0000000200326 Is this one safe? I...

We have a 5 lb. Holland lop right now, we've had him for about 2 months and he's been such a great addition to our family. We are very loosely *thinking* about getting him a companion. He's caged during the day and overnight, with about 5-6 hours a day outside of his cage. But even with the 5...

I went to let Gizmo out of his cage this morning, and noticed a very dark urine spot on his cage floor. First, it's unusual for him not to go in his box, second, I've never seen urine so dark. At first I was worried there might be blood in it, but after getting it up on a paper towel (see...

I know that bunnies do not like to be held, but from time to time I need to pick up gizmo for various reasons (vet visits, grooming for example.) I am having the hardest time picking him up. He kicks and runs so much I'm really struggling with it. I've tried using a towel to do a bunny...

In one month I've learned... *Rabbits eat a lot of hay. Like a lot. I cannot believe how much hay he eats in a day. *Rabbits poop A LOT! Probably because of all of the hay :) *You will have pieces of hay all over your house. Everywhere. Just some fun observations. I wouldn't trade...

We've had Gizmo for about a month now. Male, neutered, lop. He's been very friendly, nipped at us a couple of times, but not recently. He will eat from our hands, we've seen a few binkies, he'll flop down in his 'loaf' lay either in his cage with the door open or out on our area rug...
