My bunny Lola seems to (mostly) always be breathing like this. I don’t know if it’s normal or if she’s supposed to breathe slower? She’s otherwise acting completely normal

I have two male rabbits, and I’m trying to bond them. The larger, dark-coloured rabbit keeps pushing his head underneath the smaller, brown rabbit.

The brown rabbit then starts licking and grooming the larger rabbit. However, whenever the brown rabbit stops grooming him, the larger, dark rabbit suddenly attacks him, and they get into a little fight.

Both rabbits are neutered. The larger, dark rabbit was neutered almost a year ago, while the smaller, brown rabbit was neutered only two and a half weeks ago.

The larger, dark rabbit seems to be the one initiating the aggression, even though he is the one pushing his head underneath the smaller rabbit and receiving the grooming.

I’m trying to bond them, and whenever they start fighting really intensely or chasing each other aggressively, I separate them. That’s why the video is a little shorter.

Why does this happen? Is the larger rabbit demanding grooming or trying to establish dominance? Could the recent neutering of the smaller rabbit have something to do with this behaviour?

Any advice or explanation would be greatly appreciated!

Tiramisu had never seen himself in a mirror before, and today I put one up next to my bed and I’ve noticed he’s been looking at himself all day, so bunnies know their own reflection? Or do they think it’s another bunny?

Muffin loves kale; I try to keep his diet varied, and every now and then I give him kale, which he really enjoys.

Please help

My rabbit barely eats any hay, and since his recent dental trim, he's eating even less than before. This is quite concerning because his lack of hay causes several health issues.

The only hay he ever really loved was Foin de Crau, a high-quality hay from a local French producer. It was very fresh, smelled amazing, and contained lots of small leaves. He absolutely loves the leaves but seems to dislike thick, coarse hay stalks. He mostly picks out the leaves and leaves the stems behind!

I've already tried so many types of hay, including Timothy hay, alfalfa, mint hay, and dandelion hay, but nothing else seems to appeal to him. I haven't tried many Oxbow products, though, so I'm open to suggestions!

What types or brands of hay have worked best for your picky rabbits, especially those who prefer leafy hay over thick stems? I'd love to hear your recommendations and experiences so I can find something he might actually enjoy.

I'm also considering further dental or medical investigations, as I find it concerning that he barely eats any hay, even after his dental trim, especially since he used to eat more before.

Thanks in advance for any advice! 🐰💚

Now we're working on litter training and sitting still for brushing🥹🙏 wish them luck!

He was okay before i fed him, but when i was feeding him he choked on a pellet which he has already spit out. Since then it has been around 2 hours and he has been running around normally and drinking water (he hasn’t eaten). But he occasionally sneezes/ coughs like this. It’s not a non stop kind of sneeze but more of an every 5-10min one sneeze. I’m very worried ☹️

I’ve moved my outdoor bunny Jerry into my room today :) he will initially have the space shown in the pic and once he’s neutered (in a couple weeks) I’ll allow him to free roam my room. I bought and assembled a high bed because once he’s free roaming im sure he’d love that space. PC and desk area will be strictly boarded off and my poor guitars now live downstairs 😂.

Apart from the essentials (bunny proofing) is there anything else I need to be doing? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The pics are a before and after :)

Hello everybunny 🐰~ So, my one year old mini lop, Astro, just got over her first ear infection. It’s been 6 weeks of expensive vet appointments, ear drops and antibiotics. If you have a lop ear, is there anything you do that helps prevent infections? Any over the counter ear drops or anything? I’d really like to do everything I can to help prevent this in the future. Thanks!
