Hiii

Ahhh 😭 i brought a male rabbit since the vet suggested that miffy (my female bunny) needs a companion but istg she's very territorial. She bit me multiple times and she's not letting him anywhere near. She's biting and attacking him. She's 4 months old and he's a few months older than her and isn't nutered. If anyone kept bunnies before please help me. How should I make them familiar with each other?

Also he's extremely terrified, he doesn't let me come near him. I kept him isolated so he could calm down and be comfortable.

What should I do next?

Is this an issue? He got bit by another mom at 4 weeks.

He is now 15 weeks, and much smaller than his siblings. He got hurt really badly and his skin was torn. He was going to be killed and I asked to take him instead. I patched him up and he’s grown! I question though- he was originally all white with black ears and eye rings. Now, the spot where he was bit grew back all black hairs (much more then seen in the photo but I dont have a better photo at the moment) Is this a good sign? Will it affect him at all in the future?

Bunny has a cyst - the vet wants to amputate!

Hi there, I’ve looked at other posts about cysts in rabbits, but I’m not finding the info I need.

We went to the vet today. I thought my bunny had sore hock, but it’s a cyst. They are checking whether or not it’s cancer, but whether it is or isn’t, they are pushing for amputation, claiming that because it’s on the hind leg, it will not heal. Can’t it be controlled somehow and just left alone? It’s hard (not liquid), but can’t something else be done besides amputating his leg? He’s only 4.

Mini rex rabbit grooming

After years of hand picking fur off of my mini rex bunnies every time they molt (frequently), I'm finally interested in buying a deshedder or brush that will actually work for their unique fur type. Most brushes and combs just skate on top of the coat without pulling anything out because the fur is so dense. I'm considering the 5" equigroomer, or maybe a rubber curry brush, but I'd love some more insight from people familiar with this breed!

My bunny ate some of a Ferrero chocolate

I left this chocolate on my bed as I was cleaning my rabbits area I see one of them on my bed eating it. Will he be okay? He seems to be doing okay but I will obviously continue to watch him

Any Idea what that might be ?!

Today when I was petting my bunny I felt coarse hair on her neck right under her chin, I checked it to see this, any idea what that might be ? Is it an infection? Or just a result of molting ? As she started molting recently, should I put her an antibiotic ointment or take her to the vet ? It doesn't actually show uless I move some of her skin aside. She is still eating normally, pooping the same, flopping and zooming the same, nothing changed. And she wasn't irritated when I touched the area. Also she is not drooling nor has any respiratory issues. She is an indoor bunny and never goes outdoors. Anyone had a similar thing on their bunnies? Thanks

Rabbit isn't pooping but is eating hay

My rabbit hasn’t been eating hay or drinking water since last night. He did eat his pellets last night.

I’ve been hand-feeding him hay soaked in water to make sure he gets something in his stomach.

His stomach feels soft, almost as if there’s a lot of water in it. Otherwise, he seems normal like he’s flopping, grooming himself and behaving fairly normally.

However, I haven’t seen him poop for at least 5 hours and he still isn’t eating hay or drinking water on his own.

Should I be concerned about GI stasis or a blockage, and should I take him to a vet?
