so ive had a rabbit for almost 2.5 years now, im worried as hes started to grow old and now hes not very active, he eats and poops but sleeps around most of the time, his breathing has become a little ragged and his eye is oozing sometimes. should i take him to a vet? is it normal for old rabbits to act like this? (ps i have a normal white rabbit with red eyes, in india)
My neighbor pet sat for me this past weekend, I was gone from Friday-Wednesday afternoon.
I came home Wednesday and to my surprise my rabbit was roaming the house with my two cats and everything was destroyed.
There was soil everywhere, almost all of my house plants were completely devoured and one of my pots was shattered with glass shards all over the floor. My lego bouquet is in pieces, there are multiple chewed cords, several books & card games are chewed, and the cats water dish was completely empty and knocked over. My bunny even ate my rain boots & parts of my work shoes!
I am obviously upset but more so just grateful that my sweet Sophie girl is unharmed and seems to be okay after digesting all the plants.
I haven’t let her out of the cage since because I’m frustrated with the destruction but I know ultimately it’s not her fault because she was left unsupervised 😕
I haven’t mentioned it to him yet and I’m sure the cage was left open by mistake but I am so upset and worried to ever have someone look after her again 😓😓
Sleeping with you bunny means you get paws on your face as a wakeup call
My 3 month old bunny is extremely active and is almost always playing. We see him rest about 3-4 times a day, but of course, I don't know if he is resting at night when we are sleeping. I am hoping he is. I just got to know that rabbits sleep for 8-12 hours a day and that's why I'm feeling a little concerned.
after I cleaned and rearranged my room, which he always loves
Im scared that Lola ( right side) will try jump over as she is used to being a free roam rabbit, im putting her like this for diring the days to get used to the smell of Coco (left side) but scared she will jump over… thoughts?
my 5 month rabbit has recently been tugging really hard on her xpen. ( she cannot free roam bc i also have a boy bunny and they cannot get fixed till next month) she digs and bites at it for hours. any advice?
How hard really is it? I have a new incoming female this weekend and I’d love to bond her with my female. I’ve seen that unspayed females are almost impossible to bond. My current female is pretty docile, she’s a bit older though. I’m hoping to try a “trauma bond” in a car ride and a bathtub at home.
He was super happy lol. Every time I put the hat on he patiently waited for his banana 🤣
Little coco is deathly afraid of another bun living with me: a white little boy. So he basically dressed up as death itself
(White bun is called Bino and super friendly. Friendly as in "oh hello strange rabbit. Nice to meet you, would you like to move into my territory with me and cuddle?" Cocos reaction was to bite off part of binos nose)
Poor little french bulldog…
My (26M) Girlfriend's (24F) unfixed female rabbit keeps trying to hump my arm as I'm going to sleep. She is just over 5 months, so she is around the age to expect this. The strange thing is, she only seems to want to hump my right arm. Nothing else.
I've read that female rabbits will hump to show dominance, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here as she is very persistent (and is scratching my arm up). But seems to do the full circling and honking mating stuff before trying her luck.
What's the best explanation for this? And, what's the best way to teach her not too?
Hi community. We have a 2 year old free range indoor neutered house rabbit whose sister died on September 1 from liver lobe torsion. A few days later, we brought home a 7 month neutered boy bunny as a new friend for her. They didn't show hatred at the meet and greet at the animal shelter. They currently live in separate parts of the house with double exercise pens with space between serving as a DMZ so they can't get at each other. We've tried about 5 meet in greets in a neutral territory (the bathroom) that we supervised closely wearing gloves, spray bottle on hand and cardboard to break up fights. Most of these meetings ended in a furnado but no injuries. Just fur shed. We were stressed and scared when the furnado ensued. The original female bunny can come visit the boy bunny when she wants. They eat side by side and hang out but also occasionally bite the exercise pen fencing. We could really use some help and support on what to do next.
You’re a year old now, son. Too chubby now to fit in your new RV but you’ll try your hardest anyway and that’s what I appreciates about you.
We rescued an adult rabbit who is sweet right until you try to pick her up, then she becomes a piranha. I let her out with me in the yard to hop around and she got filthy. I can't even pick this bunny up without bleeding, how do I give her a bath? It's been 2 days and she's not cleaned herself enough.
