Hello, I brought home a 1 month old Netherland Dwarf doe today. I am hoping to bond her to my 11 month old Netherland Dwarf buck, who is neutered. I have attached pictures of the set up I have right now. I was worried about the bonding process because I do not really have any neutral space to...

Hi! I can't get my bun to stop ripping out the carpet. He is a 6 month old, neutered, male netherland dwarf. He is tearing up the carpet CONSTANTLY. It is becoming an enormous source of frustration. The carpet was already in poor shape when I moved in, so I'm not terribly worried about...

Hello, I have noticed the last few days that my Netherland Dwarfs poo pellets have been rather squishy. They are not cecotropes. He seems healthy. He is nearly 6 months, his diet is a handful of pellets in the morning, a cup of veggies in the evening, and a constant supply of hay (oat, timothy...

I am thinking of getting a second bunny. Right now I have one, who has free roam of my bedroom. I am home most of the time and he is very happy and bonded to me. I know that a second bunny could upset this dynamic and cause behavior issues, at least for a while until they adjust. But is the...

I captured a cute video of Moby yawning, which gave me a good look at his teeth. Maybe it's just a weird angle, but one of the teeth looks much shorter than the other. Here's the clip: https://imgur.com/a/wrOYD He's a netherland dwarf, which I know are prone to dental issues. Should I be...

Hi, I have some questions about bringing home a second bunny. For a while now I've been searching for a second bunny to be companion to Moby, my 5 month Netherland Dwarf. He was neutered more than 8 weeks ago. My first question is how to tell if Moby likes one bunny more than another? I've...

Hi! I'm having trouble gauging if my bun is eating enough hay to where it consists of 80% of his diet. Right now (4 months old) he gets about 1/4 cup of pellets in the morning and at night, and 1-2 cups of veggies in the evening. He eats hay fairly consistently throughout the day...

Hello! I have a question about treats. Are carrots as high in sugar as other fruits, such as grapes or bananas? I'm looking for a 'treat' that I can give to Moby more frequently than fruits, which I understand can cause harm if given too freely. Right now I give him a small piece of...

Hello! How much alfalfa hay I should provide to my 4 month old bun? He has constant access to timothy, oat, and organic meadow hay, all of which he eats. But he definitely favors his alfalfa hay, which I give him in small handfuls at least once a day. I took him to his first vet visit...

Hello! I have just scheduled Moby's neutering appointment, which will take place in two weeks (which might be rescheduled for a later date - I haven't actually checked if his testes have dropped! But he is 3 1/2 months old, so they should have descended by now, right?). What is some...

Are there good techniques for this, other than offering him treats whenever you vacuum to develop positive reinforcement? The first time I vacuumed, Moby bolted and flung himself into the side of my mattress, like he was running in blind panic. It was bizarre and made me feel terrible...

I give Moby (three months old) an 1/8" slice of a banana every morning, and a similarly sized slice of apple in the evening. Can I give him more? I know bananas are higher and sugar and need to be moderated, but how much is too much?

Last night I was sitting on the floor next to Moby, who was peacefully dozing a few feet in front of me. Then I experienced a wave of panic (I have a mild panic disorder - an initial rush of adrenaline will come over me, which can trigger a panic attack if I respond to that initial stimulus with...

I have been getting mixed signals from my new bunny Moby, who I have had now for three weeks, and can't tell whether he likes me, hates me, or fears me, because he shows signs of all three. I allow him free range in my bedroom, which I have bunny-proofed; when I am laying in bed or on the...

Moby is a twelve week old Netherland Dwarf. I have had him for almost three weeks now. I spend a lot of time with him and he seems very comfortable around me - however he is still shy being pet (except for when he is eating)! He will binky away from me when I try to pet him, so maybe he is...
