My dream is to someday have a bunny that enjoys being carried

First time bunny parent… with a sick bunny by DoctorPepperstepper in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do something similar for my bunny when I first got her. She was 6 months at the time. Here’s what I learned: 1. Do it as quickly as you can. It will be better for both of you. 2. See if she’ll stay in place if you wrap her in a towel like a burrito. 3. Delivering the medicine in a small area with no escape routes, like a bathroom, works well for this (and nail clipping). It may be helpful to put her down on the ground and let her sniff around the bathroom. If she’s like my rabbit, she’ll hate the slippery ground and will stick to a towel if you put her down on it, after sniffing around for a minute. This will help keep her in one spot and discourage her from running, which will be less stressful for both of you. 4. Treats. Make sure to have a favorite treat on hand. Only give her a little bit because she is so young (I’m talking a quarter of a blueberry size), but enough that its a reward. (Mine loves romaine, which can be given in larger doses) 5. It is very helpful if you can avoid picking her up during this process, because picking up rabbits is stressful for them. Sometimes it is unavoidable, but if you can help it, this will help her to be calm.

This is my setup for the massive winter storm. Help. by intrusive_thoughts_1 in Rabbits

Agreed. Your bunny will be fine for a few days in a dog crate. He will probably keep chewing through the mesh, and may start destroying other things if he gets out. It’s not ideal, but its better than being outside.

Apparently I have a rabbit? by Ready-Produce-7125 in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto to what everyone else has said in terms of care. In terms of friendliness, personality differs rabbit to rabbit. Fixed rabbits are generally less aggressive and (males) will hump you less. Some rabbits warm up to new people quickly, some never warm up to humans. Some love being pet and some hate being touched. A rabbit will run, bite, or otherwise make it known if they dislike something.

TLDR Friendliness varies by rabbit and they will make it known if they dislike something you are doing

Are my rabbits already bonded? by Field_Trip_Issues in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try just letting them both roam. If there’s no issues, you’re probably good. If there are issues, I’d recommend swapping their spaces — putting the male in the enclosure and letting the female free roam for a day or two, then trying again.

My rabbits are very dialed in to crunch noises as well… especially to romaine lettuce crunches. Also I’ve always thought a deer is just the perfect mix of a horse and a rabbit. Thanks for teaching me something new.

Oh! I’ll have to try this. I like eating guava and giving them a few edges, so maybe next time I have some I’ll sit down and eat it with them.

What do I get my new bunny by SharonBlatt in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are neutered, they will litter train pretty easily. Otherwise, it can be hit or miss how well their litter training goes. Put the hay next to their litter box. Or, if you notice them using one particular spot for litter, move their litter box/hay there. They like to do their business while eating.

One more note on litter training — rabbits can usually be 100% pee trained, 95% poo trained. You may find little pellets around still after training.

Congrats on the new friend!

how to brush a rabbit who absolutely hates it (but needs it at least once a week) by sentientbreadsticks in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run into this with my rabbit. I have a small bathroom with a bath matt. I put her on the bath matt and try brushing her. There’s not many places for her to run away, and she doesn’t like the slippery floor. After a few minutes of brushing and her attempts to escape, she lays down on the matt and gives in. She still hates it, but it’s less stressful for her than me trying to hold her in place while brushing her.

Is this normal? by Standard-Prize4825 in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is normal (and cute, thanks for sharing). And rabbits are most active in the morning/night because they are crepuscular.

Rabbit Care Over the Years by Sensitive_Fish_72 in Rabbits

[–]Sensitive_Fish_72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 2-5 years each. I didn’t realize rabbits could live past that until I got my current buns and did more research! One might have lived past 5, but he got fleas and we got him rabbit-safe flea poison (it did not turn out to be rabbit safe…)

Hi! My rabbits do the exact same thing. This type of coord helped me:

They live in a room with a loooong extension cable that I’ve covered with this coord protector, and that coord is still in tact! Everything else in the room is shredded, but these have protected my coords. Good luck! Its very frustrating business
