thanks guys. heres all the pics i ever posted of her in here. five different apartments feature, we probably move too much. she really was a one of a kind, beautiful and special little personality. she had a good time on this earth though. can't be too sad. thank your rabbit and give them a potentially slightly unwelcome squeeze tonight.

thanks guys  it's still real rough, not going to lie. on the way in the door it was always 'hi ladies' to my girlfriend and the bun. when my gf did something mockable it was "gracie, can you believe this???" you just get so used to having this little bundle in your life, bringing you joy and brighness when you don't even realize it's happening. yesterday out of the corner of my eye i thought some rubber sandals on the ground were gracie, 'cause they were sitting in one of her favourite spots. rabbits are just the best, and gracie was a special one.

BIG DAY. After a successful speed dating session between my 1 yr-old female bun (Kupo) and a 2-yr-old male bun (Emil), I adopted Emil yesterday and set up his enclosure a couple feet from Kupo's. It'd be closer if the logistics of my weird-shaped room didn't make it kinda impossible. I've read a ton on bonding rabbits and there seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there. While the speed dating session went well (both buns flopped in their respective pens and showed no aggression toward each other - my attempts at dates in a neutral room of my house have not gone as well. The last one had to be cut short cuz fur tufts were flying. Neither bun was hurt, thankfully. Any tips on introducing a new bun to one who's become pretty comfortable in her domain, even if she's only lived here for a month or two? requisite bun pics: Emil  Kupo

 Jareth, the Goblin King  Marfusha got an hourlong grooming yesterday but she still needs the fuzz around her eyes trimmed  Spock is 9-10 but you wouldn't know it by the way he eats, looks, or moves. He's been set in the behavior of treating the litter box more like a suggestion than a rule for years so it's really hard to tell if he's been having age-related issues there, but we're keeping a close eye on him. The other two are pretty fastidious about the litter box so it's usually ok unless Marfa decides she needs the box to be cleaner and digs it out.  fur friends  Spock is a goddamn hoover vac, the chubbiest bunno  treats  treeeeeeaaaats  This one's from a few days ago, hence the dirtier cage in the background. Marfa did not enjoy having her turd stick-on beauty mark removed.

Yup, life's reaaaal rough.

Baloogan posted:hello What’s a trackter? I’m assuming it’s a run/cage? Depends on how many rabbits, but that sounds pretty good for 1-2 bunnos. Only consideration might be height- you want the enclosure to be tall enough to allow the rabbits to fully get up on their hind legs, and ideally to be able to hop/binky comfortably without hitting the ceiling. 2 feet is ok for most buns, 3 feet is better if you’re able to make it that tall.

8 feet by 3 feet seems plenty to me anything bigger than that i can't really see fitting on my ATV they would all be adolesants (im building 2x tracktors, one for breeding pair subdivided into two apartments with some plywood and one for the little guys) maybe ill need to make 3x trackters thanks

Rabbits are super gregarious and they tend to do better in groups but they need space to do best and grow healthiest/develop good muscle for eatin’. Also, they reach sexual maturity right quick and you’ll want to separate the progeny by sex (or if there’s too much fighting between same-sex individuals) sooner than you probably expect so a third enclosure might not be a bad idea. Rabbits weaned together tend to avoid inbreeding on their own pretty well- as do most mammals- but sometimes wires get crossed and somebody may end up knocked up when you don’t really want them to/it isn’t healthy. Same goes for conflict. Littermates are usually fast bondmates without much human intervention but every once in a while some rabbits go through puberty and lose the ability to share an enclosure safely so it’s always good to have a spare on hand.

While I appreciate your good-faith answers, Electric Bugaloo, I suspect Baloogan may not be posting with complete sincerity. But, if you are, Baloogan, I think GWS might be better capable of answering your questions!

I've grown up with dogs so I'm no stranger to animals acting like you haven't fed them in three years every single time you feed them, but does anyone else's rabbit get way too buck when it's feeding time? Our bun never escapes her cage EXCEPT if you walk within 5 feet of her with lettuce, at which point she either violently careens off the sides of her pen or leaps out of her 5ft tall pen in a single bound and then acts really confused about how she ended up locked out of her own house.

gamingCaffeinator posted:What breed is he? He's so pretty! Sassy Sasquatch got it, he’s a lionhead. And Marfusha is a fuzzy lop and Spock’s an english spot. Now we just need an angora and we’ll have probably the top four worst breeds for shedding. Initially my fiancée had Spock and his original bondmate, a brown rex (I think?) named Kirk, natch. Kirk unfortunately died in the summer of 2015 (same day as Robin Williams) and Spock was by himself for about a year. Eventually we decided that he needed a new bondmate and set about adopting one (House Rabbit Network in MA, if anyone is curious. They’re rabbit-specific and excellent and if you’re in New England and looking for buns they’re the first place I’d look). We didn’t intend to get a pair but when we saw Marfa and Jareth (originally Tenley and Panda) we couldn’t pass them up, because look at them. They were already quite bonded (seriously, their codependent rabbit marriage is heartbreakingly adorable) and getting them to live with Spock has been a learning experience for sure. If people are curious and interested, I’ll do a bigger effortpost about the three knuckleheads and what it’s been like bonding them and living with them over the past 2 years.

This is totally normal. Of our three, Spock is the only one with any behavioral consistency that approaches “nice to people”, and that’s mostly probably because he’s a big chubby pushover who is always ready to eat. The other two are two-faced as poo poo when it comes to human attention. Jareth in particular is a super finicky eater who takes forever to acclimate to different foods and only takes treats if he’s hungry. Marfa eats like a Hoover vac and loves treats but will turn on you in a second with the slightest offense.

Carrots will grunt at me like a total dick if my hand gets too close while he's eating, but that's about it. He grunts at loving everything, but he's all bark and no bite.

She's still going to make a ruckus when you walk by with tasty stuff but make sure she has access to hay 24/7. (in case you don't do that already, obviously) Buns are pretty much engineered to eat a constant stream of low cal food.

The funny thing is I'm usually approaching her cage with lettuce to give it to her, she just can't wait and goes absolutely apeshit. She has constant access to hay, I just think she gets too excited and has to go bouncing off the walls. The other funny thing is I can take food straight out of her mouth with no reprisal, so she's not super defensive about her food or anything.

Our older rabbit chews on the bars of his cage door when he wants out, which has made our younger rabbit start doing it. Except the young rabbit has no incisors, so he just persistently gums at the bars. He's not very bright.

The younger rabbit's allergies just get worse. He got a nosebleed today from sneezing so much. We think it's related to whatever facial deformity caused his teeth to come in hosed up. Edit: It may be a good sign. His nose stopped bleeding pretty quick, and it was just after he'd expelled a lot of dried mucous. He's breathing quieter today than he has in a long time.

Carrots does this too, except sometimes he'll do it after we open the door, and then he'll realize "Oh, it's open!" and happily jump out.  Just a lazy saturday laying on the couch.
