behavior

Hi, So I adopted a lionhead male rabbit in July. I don't know anything about his history. He is 2-4 years old and was found at a park in a box. At the shelter he was so friendly and let me pet him during our play session. He was not scared at all. Like a week later I was able to take him home...

I’m a first time rabbit owner, so I’m unsure on how to proceed. My sweet Buffy is 4 months old. I’ve know since planning on getting a rabbit that I’d get it/her desexed when they were old enough. Buffy has recently taken up digging as an increasing behaviour that has me thinking it might be...

I've had my bunny, Dante for almost 2 months now and I don' know what to do. First of all i have no idea if he likes me or not, he lets me pet him when he's laying down, other times he just hops away. He usually goes on the bed and tries to pee there and when I try to move him to the litter box...

I recently got a new Rabbit, Bunilla Ice to bond with my boy bun, they've been bonded for a little more than a week when unfortunately my boy bun had passed away. Bunilla is still quite new to me so I'm worried I won't be able to notice her sadness. The only difference I've noticed so far is I...

Hey all. Bear with me , I’m gonna try and explain this since I’m at a loss. I recently lost one of my rabbit friends. So I saw one for adoption at a pet store who was contracting through a shelter that has a high kill rate. I wanted him out of there and here where I could best care for him and...

Hello. Something incredibly sad happened to me in my bunnies over the weekend. One of them was rather horrifically killed. I had two outdoor bunnies. I'm pretty sure one is a velveteen and her daughter is a half-lop mutt. The daughter is about 4-5 months old and about 3/4 the size of the...

hi, So I recently got Lumi the bun and was sold him at 5 weeks of age. So I’ve had him for about 3 weeks now. So recently he’s been supper possessive. When I’m on my phone to long he’ll nudge it away, when drawing he’ll grab the pencil and throw it or bite the paper, or he’ll intentionally...

Hi rabbit lovers! My name is Laura and I just joined this site. I have two bunnies: a 2.5 years old female lion head mix who has been with me for little over two years, and an approximately 3.5 years old male Dutch bunny who I adopted two almost three months ago. The two of them have bonded...

Hi all, I am currently in the process of bonding two female rabbits. I've noticed that one of them, the more dominant one, eats a lot quicker than the other one does. This leads to her trying to steal the other bunny's food after she finishes hers. I'm not sure how I will be able to house...

So I have a bunny and she likes to scratch underneath my door when I’m inside my room with my door closed. She keeps doing this and I assumed that she wants food or something, but I just recently gave her her greens, but she still wants to go inside my room. This happens day and night. She’s a...

Nine years ago I adopted a rescue, and I still have the paperwork on how they determined his personality. I thought I would share an abridged list of the things they looked at. This was done with the help of a computer program. Is he good with children under 8? How much bunny-proofing does he...

Recently, my bunny has started charging at my hand to bite when I clean his cage. Surely it’s territorial, but I still don’t like the behavior. He’s free roam, and he’s fine when he’s outside the cage. I’ve had him since March and he just started doing this a couple of weeks ago. I tell him no...

hi, i have two rabbits (m&f) who i've just started bonding today. as far as i can see, it's going really well and i was just curious as to what does it mean when rabbits do this position: it seemes like a good sign and they've been doing it a lot, so if anyone knows the actual meaning of it i'd...

My three-year-old rabbit suddenly started acting strange within a few hours. Before he was begging for treats as usual, but when I came back downstairs he suddenly refused to eat anything and turned his back on me before plopping down. Due to recent house renovations, he had to be moved...

She doesn’t like to be carried, should i be worried ? when i attempt to carry her she flips and kicks and scratches. should i just stop trying to carry her? Any tips on strategies to carry her will be highly appreciated!

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first time posting. I've got two adorable Mini Lops, and I've only had them for a few weeks but they are my babies :3 my bunnies love chewing and digging and I've heard people say paper is a good way to keep them entertained in that regard, and I had recently...

Hi, everyone. I would like, if possible, get some advice with people who did bonding for 2 rabbits before. Story: My male bunny Foxy lost his partner Lumi - female bun about 7 weeks ago. After quarantine and revaccination just in case, we decided to find him a female bunny in a local...

Hello, I am new as a member but not as a reader. I have a question regarding the sudden aggression of one of my rabbits and how to address it as she has become hurtful to our other rabbit. We have two rabbits: one French lop and one dwarf/lionhead mix. The baby (lop) was recommended as a...

What are everyone's favorite BEHAVIOR books, links, sites and references, etc?

Now that I've got your attention, let me be perfectly clear: I have never & will never physically harm my bunny. That being said, my goal IS to get him to obey a few very specific COMMANDS for safety. BTW, his name is "Fatty Pants" & he's a 16 week old Flemish Giant.:) I have read countless...
