    2022 Indoor Cages...add your photo!

    My buns are free roam, so this is their dining/litter box nook. It's an Ikea Kallax unit with two dividers removed. The drawers have all their supplies and there's a trunk just out of frame where I store their hay.They have various hidy boxes discreetly hidden around my house as well.

    Tips on clipping nails?

    Find a local rabbit rescue/shelter and ask them to trim your buns nails for you. Most will do it for a small fee or for free. The staff/volunteers will be experienced and trained to handle difficult bunnies. They can also demonstrate how you can do it yourself. I work at a shelter and foster...

    Weird eating habit / excessive drooling

    Overgrown or misaligned teeth dig into a bunny's mouth more when eating soft food. The resistance of hay and chewing hard materials grinds the teeth down and can actually provide some relief. Bun will still eat the greens if he loves them -ie: it's worth the pain because it tastes so good...

    Small and some irregular poops, disinterest in pellets and buscut treats, but eating lots of hay and gobbling up greens like she's super hungry

    My medium sized bun is has fairly small poops with a noticeable number of tiny ones in the mix. Dark brown. Very firm. Avoids her pellets and has no interest in biscuit type treats. Eats timothy hay consistently all day all the time- if there's a piece of hay near her face, it gets eaten...

    Would it be detrimental if one of the bunnies is rehomed?

    Also...and again, this is purely anecdotal, but dewarf bunnies, especially young ones, have been some of the most destructive little monsters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. There rescue I volunteer with currently has one that climbs up his expen. Climbs! He's the friendliest little guy...

    Would it be detrimental if one of the bunnies is rehomed?

    What I'm gonna say will probably be your least favorite option, but please, hear me out. Have you considered rehoming them as a bonded pair and adopting new already bonded pair that are less destructive? I foster unsocialized/extremely timid bunnies so they can be bonded and have a better...

    4mo bunny showing newfound affection towards me

    It seems super young compared to other animals, but by 4 months your bun is actually fully capable of reproducing. I can't remember off hand the recommended age to spay/neuter, but I volunteer at a rabbit shelter and more often than not, the baby bunny litters that come to us are a result of...

    Bulging Cloudy Eye

    I had a rabbit with what looks like the same condition. Turned out it was an abscess caused by snuffles. His developed very quickly. From normal healthy to a bulging eye and cold symptoms within two weeks. We had the abscess drained and he recovered, but he lost his eye.
