    Lionhead brush recommendations?

    Here are my gorgeous boys. Cross Lionhead and angora and goodness the fur that they shed is intense. These guys don’t love being touched tho and so we generally just chat nose to nose with this agreement. Grooming leaves them very offended for a day or two lol! But it has to happen! Sorry for my...

    Do Bunnies Binky Only Once?

    My bunnies have what I call their binky carpet. It’s in my room and a round fluffy one. Both of them will take turns to have their morning binky and zoomie marathon training just in time to wake me up. It’s my favorite time of the day watching these rabbits. This morning the one bun was trying...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    I feel like I have lived through a National Geographic episode because these bunnies live under my bed and roam a few rooms. So I have been emersed in their dominant dance for over a week apart from when i separated them. Things have settled altho they are not grooming each other yet. There...

    My Bella just died this morning

    Ah I’m so sorry about your bunny. These little animals work with our heart spaces, may yours be comforted in a sad time. Big hugs.

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Hi bunny mentors! Just an update I decided to let the sweet brothers out the pens this weekend and would separate them if things escalated again. Needless to say we have had moments of chasing and scurrying (usually when I am trying to sleep!) and then cease fire. The one bunny really was...

    Speed dating seems to be improving things. I’m Switzerland clearly…

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    So an update. They are in separate pens next to me when I have to work and then I make it one pen when I can watch them. I still feed them treats together which helps…. Especially because I also had to work on being forgiven today as of course they are deeply offended by me caging them! A lot...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Thanks JBun. Yeah let’s see how it goes over time. I have now landed on this longer term setup in the photo to contain them. They still with each other but separated by a fence. They a bit grumpy as they free roam usually but for now this is where it’s at until we all find our feet! And il let...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Thanks Jbun. Yeah that’s what I am worried about. Thanks for the advice… will definitely have them separate and see how it goes. Heartbreaking to think that they may not get along down the line they have been the sweetest little duo to this point. Will reach out again when we see which way this...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Thanks Nancy for this. It indeed has not been resolved and they are now leaving droppings and pee in my room. The issue ultimately which is clear as day is the submissive rabbit has suddenly stood up to the dominant one and neither will submit. So I don’t know if they should just battle it out...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Oh those are excellent suggestions thank you. Love the idea of taking their spot that’s so funny! I found myself thumping out of frustration this afternoon and that definitely got their attention. Felt cathartic I can see why bunnies do it! They seem to be calming down. Not the agitated...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Hmm it continues last night and this morning. Eish. Not hurting each other but definitely a battling of wills and very frantic. I have stepped in now to remind them that I am in fact the dominant rabbit and they should rather stick together than cause nonsense. Using a spray bottle on the...

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Thanks for this it confirms my thoughts. Yes they seem to be working it out. They are still a little odd and jumpy around each other but it seems to be resolving. I am working from home this week and so am by them constantly. I have a gate which I can easily separate them with but I agree I...

    And they are eating and toilet habits are normal. They don’t seem in pain. Healthy bunnies otherwise :)

    7 month old brothers challenging each other

    Hi there.. some thoughts please. My 7 month neutered male brother bunnies (bonded pair) who are the sweetest pair suddenly seemed to have a burst of teenage testosterone inject through their systems and engaged in what seemed to be a battle for dominance today. It started with the one chasing...

    My bun prefers tiles over rugs and blankets

    Haha I laughed out loud reading this. Being a new bunny owner for about 2 months now of two sweet teenage rabbit brothers… I relate to the very quick progression into catering to every whim and quirk which at this age also seems to ever change from one day to the next like typical adolescents...

    Not eating greens

    Ah thank you so much for all this info i will dive into these options. As I write to you there is quite a binky and zoomy show going on in this household :) Yes something needs to be done the skirting boards are suffering and my apartment deposit dwindling by the day in my mind! They are...

    Not eating greens

    The pattern thinking is a good point. There are three specific points. Under the bed, next to bed and behind cabinet. Blocked off cabinet now need to make a plan for others. Altho come to think of it corners are also very juicy in their eyes lol. Thank goodness they’re so **** cute! All such a...

    Not eating greens

    Thank you I feel relieved! My buns are fixed already and are little brothers so a natural pair. But oh dear these little beauties are chewing my skirting boards big time. I am slowly opening the space to them from just a pen to my hallway and room now. They really come alive with more space BUT...
