My little guy, Buford (first picture), is about 8 years old (he might be older, he was adopted and the shelter wasn't sure of his age). My other bunny, Goomey, passed 2 years ago when he was 10, so Buford has been alone for 2 years. He seemed sad for a few months after Goomey passed but doesn't show any signs of distress anymore.

I've recently become more financially stable and have been thinking of getting another bunny but I'm wondering would this just cause Buford more stress than happiness? It took a while to get Buford and Goomey to like each other but once those first couple weeks of acclimation passed they were absolutely in love.

Since Buford is getting old, would introducing a new, younger bunny stress him out? I remember him and Goomey fighting and having to be separated during their initial meeting. Or would having a pal be worth it for when I can't spend time with him, as he's alone while I'm at school or work?

Simple right? Lol
We got a holland lop about 1.5 weeks ago and we have a litter box, hay hanging above litter box and in the actual litter box in the corner and everything set up in an X pen for him.

When he poops I put his poop in the litter box and when he pees I wipe up the pee with paper towel and then clean it with an amonia spray and put the initial paper towel in his litter box so it smells a little more like pee however he still has never used the actual litter box.

4m old
Neutered

Any tips and tricks ?

It’s been a few weeks since his neuter and I’ve noticed a recent decline in marking behaviour. So, I’ve allowed him access to the bed finally and he’s passed the test!! He seems to like it, I’ve found him sitting in my usual spot a lot lately. 😭😭😭

In case this happens to anyone I want to share my story. It happened in a Sat and the Vet was going to be more than I could afford. Just spent $10,000 on our dog there. We got infant gas drops and Oxbow critical care. Took away all food except lots of good hay and fresh water. This happened 48 hours ago and the bunny had zero side effects. Never stopped eating, drinking or pooping. Did not have to use critical care or gas drops. Zero side effects. 48 hours of pure stress and he was completely fine.

After 2 months of animosity and some much needed help from our local rescue, the babies are finally bonded! So amazing watching them cuddle together.

The boy bunny will groom the girl, but she won’t groom him back. The boy bunny is also still leaving stray poops near his old litter box. Any thoughts there? We’re planning to free roam them once we get a larger rug in the center of our room and figure out how to block off our couch.

My bunny is drooling a Lot!! Hes had dental surgery for the lenght of his teeth but he hasnt shown improvement. Hes nos nauseous cause hes on medication for that. Help!!

My poppy girl got spayed last thursday, she has been good in the aspects of she’s eating by herself, playing and being normal with her behaviour but poppy absolutely makes the biggest fuss in my 9 years of having rabbits i have never had any of them act this crazy when it comes to take her medication, i’ve added apple juice to it, blueberry banana and she will just refuse, she squirms she bites she grunts she is the worst at taking her medication it takes me about half an hour just to get 0.8mls into her 😭 does anyone have any advice or have a similar bun?

edit: i wanted to mention aswell she is a rescue and has always been very squeamish when i try to cut her nails and just do overall care for her, i think shes had a very bad experience with her past owner trying to ‘care’ for her but when im not cutting nails or trying to give medication she loves to cuddle and be picked up to be cuddled by me i just feel so awful because we are going to have to work very hard together to gain her trust back after i can stop the medication 🥲

Does anyone else bunny like to jump onto their bed and just have you pet them for hours on a Sunday morning?

We literally just came home from chow hound, vet will be called tomorrow (Monday) to schedule for check up. They didn't know his age, he's not neutered so that's on the list and they said boy so we're hoping that's right. As far as I know he came from a local rescue (chow hound partners with them to adopt out). They called him a "dwarf rabbit" but he's so big compared to our girl (a netherland dwarf mixed or false, she's only 3 lbs) that I'm having a hard time believing it. But I'm still pretty new to rabbits so maybe there's something I'm missing. Maybe a lion head French lop mix? Or a mini lop but just big? His feet are huge.

We went in for cat food 😭 but my partner saw him and fell in love. We'd been thinking of getting our girl a bond mate since I work 3 days a week now and he was so sweet and friendly even trapped in the tiny pet store cage, he just seemed right. The staff was so happy we took him (they have pigs and seemed very rabbit savvy despite the circumstances), they said he'd been there for months. I can't believe how sweet he is despite living that way. He's in his own room for now until we get a health check then hopefully can start the bonding process in a week or so!

We also need name ideas! My partner wants to name him Spooky but I'm not sure about that 😅 I was thinking Speckle but not 100% sure yet. Any are welcome!

this is oreo, but i just call her “bun” lmao.

i got her, from a breeder, for my daughter about a year ago. she is 3 now.

when i first met her, the breeder held her for 30 mins, with no issues, the entire time we talked.

when i got her home, she let me pick her up.

i’ve never been able to pick her up since. she had a mild case of GI stasis a while back, and i wasn’t even able to pick her up to give her the critical care via syringe. i can’t even hold her long enough to trim her nails.

any chance ill ever be able to hold her again? or is that a thing of the past?

So ive had my dwarf bunnie for a year now and she's hit a point where she's chewing everything even though I've given her things to chew on, I got her a little playpen and made the mistake of getting one that is not metal so she she's a hole and when she gets out she poops and pees on my brother's bed and I don't know if it's dominance or rebellion but nowy family wants me to leave her outside in a cage so I need some help please.

This little guy has went on a month long hunger strike. After countless trips to the vet, stasis care, dental work, X-rays (he has a non-problematic hernia) he’s finally starting to munch on hay regularly but will not touch his pellets so I’m still giving him some critical care. I’ve tried four different types of pellets, hoping one would entice him. Selective adult, selective botanical, selective grain free, oxbow adult. He has no interest in any of them. He sniffs them and moves on. Bunny parent fam, any recommendations?

She JUST got her breakfast pellets...

Agora rabbits grow their fiber out in layers, which are often different colors. That creates a "halo" effect when the fiber blown. The more rings, the more diverse colors the rabbit produces.

My girl is approximately 8 years old and arthritic. She just lost her husbun 3 days ago. She seems to be adjusting well (eating, pooping, interacting with me and the cats) I am trying to spend more time with her but I know that no amount of time with me would replace her having a bonded mate and so I feel guilty. I don’t want to rush into getting another, though, because they are so fragile and the way that I lost her husbun was so painful to witness. Could she be happy alone for the rest of her days, or is it cruel to leave her without a new husbun? Please I need advice 😭 it is so hard to know what to do

We decided to keep the bunny and we are at a crossroads with the name!! We put pictures in the comments

Hi everyone! 🐰
I’ve noticed that the skin around both of my rabbit’s eyes looks pink and a little bare. I’ve attached pictures of both eyes.
Here are some details:
● Both eyes look similar.
● His eyes themselves look clear and shiny.
● The yellowish bits in the pictures are matted fur, not discharge or eye crusts.
● He is eating normally and producing normal droppings.
● The skin around his eyes has looked like this for a while.
I’m wondering if this is normal or if it could be caused by irritation, a skin condition, or a problem with his tear ducts.
Has anyone experienced something similar with their rabbit? What was the cause in your case?
I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on what I should ask a rabbit-savvy vet to check. I know online advice can’t replace a veterinary examination.
Thank you! ❤️

(Last pick = him searching for snacks)

Sleepy bunny after spay last Tuesday. She is a champ and is almost fully recovered now.
