@ Breezy: Yes, I did tell him that he needed to stop doing that for many reasons, including the fact that they could hurt themselves. Today after school I went over to his house cause I promised him I would help him set up a bunny proof place as well as give him tips, and some extra things as well. So I gave him a small bag of the food he should be buying them. ( He buys them that stuff with all the extra treat things inside of them) I told him how much to feed them. He didn't have any hay at all so I brought him some, as well as some toys and I clipped their nails for him. He finally decided to listen to me and he has been calling me and asking me questions, but I told him I would still come and check up on them... So hopefully he is taking me seriously.

On another note, my best friend got a bunny ( not sure what kind... I think some kind of dwarf) about a year ago named Bebe. He is a good little bunny and she got him when he was like 2 months old. Well he was sweet, loved being held and I mean like all baby creatures are. Well he got older and according to her " he isn't fun anymore, but I still love him." And anyway, her mom is pressuring her into giving him away/ selling him. I wish I could take him in, but I really can't. On top of that I already warned her about getting him in the first place because I knew her mom would do this to her ( Since she does this all the time) and I knew she would get bored after a while as well. I mean he is well taken care of, but it's more of a chore for her than something she enjoys. She has to force herself to spend time with him. But I may foster him and find him a good home. Poor little guy, he is such a sweet heart and I hope he ends up with a good owner if she doesn't let me take him.

This I really need help and advice on. So my buns are in this big dog kennel outside that has two hutches, toys, tunnels all that fun stuff that rabbits love. It's obviously outside but it is right next to our shed cause we can't put it anywhere else. Well, recently there has been a rat who is nesting under our shed and then going into the bunnies cage and taking their food, bedding and all of that. We put a rat trap under the shed and the darn thing is able to get the food off without setting it off or getting caught. My mom wants to put poison but I WILL NOT let her cause i'm worried about my bunnies getting some by accident. Right now I got an X pen set up in a different spot in the yard, but does anyone have advice as to what I can do about the rat? And does this happen to you guys as well? Please help, it is greatly appreciated! :)

Your rabbits are super cute and I just love how you designed their place. THey really have to love it there!
Did you show them the tunnel or something? Or did they just started playing with it?
(When I gave a tunnel to my bunnys one wasn't the tiniest bit impressed and the other one became afraight and was throwing herself around. She couldn't free herself from the Tunnel and it was horrible to free her. I had to hold her down, so that my brother could unwrap her without hurting her. I don't think Lilly would ever again set a food in them...)

My bunny also loves the cat of our neighbours. They would lay as long and as close as possible (with the wall of the cage betewwn them) next to each other.

@ dark-voodoo:
your bunnys are also very cute. I love their colour! Are the two of them siblings?


Thanks. I have a couple that are siblings. Not sure if I posted them or not. They are all chocolate Dutch rabbits.

Could I please join? I have 3 rabbits, all boys, named Scooter, Junior and Indiana. The reason they are called is because, they are brothers, Junior was the runt of the litter, Scooter is very mobile and Indiana is named after Indiana Jones, because when he was opening his eyes and was beginning to move around the hutch, he like to explore every bit of the hutch!

When my rabbits started living outside I put their cage to nicest place. Lilly was so "OMG! FOOD! EVERYWHERE! WHERE SHOULD I START?" About three month later there was no grass left. :lol:
Especially Lilly never wanted to leave the known area, but she always tried to get through the bars to the gras. But just as long as one of her humans/ her first partner Tiffy was around. Obviously we can protect her nose when it is outside of the cage. Her second and third mate couldn't XDD


Yay, I just talked to my Mum about how animals can help with depressions and fears and everything and how nice it is to have someone to pet and to talk to (my bunny). She understood that we should get, if Lilly isn't alive anymore another rabbit. (But I hope that this is still far away. My old lady is just going to turn nine this summer) and we discussed if it wouldn't be nicer to get a new bunny right now since Lilly is on her own. I think it is kind of mean to have her live an her own and get a couple later. So prabably she doesn't have to stay allone <3 Best thing I heard during the last month.
My brother dudage sometimes uses my computer.

I still miss you every day. You weren't just a little bunny but true perfection. At least now I know that someone is taking care lovingly of all our rabbit friends that already had to leave.

Anyone ever tried bonding an entire buck & a spayed doe?

I want to get EJ & Fudge living together, but everytime I let them near each other, E.J. compulsivley humps Fudge, who just sits there and lets him.

Neither of them have ever seemed bothered about living on their own, it'd just be easier if they were. Especially with the set-up I want to have for them when they get moved outside(I'd link it, but this laptop wont let me on pinterest). And I genuinely think they'd like to live together- if E.J. can learn to control his natural instincts.

Any tips/ideas?
I use the 'neutral teritory' method to bond all my creatures.

Do you mean intact? If he still has his man parts, I don't think you'll have much luck. He's probably always going to want to hump her. Which will probably tick her off after a while. lol Even neutered, sometimes the bucks still want to hump the does. They are men. Just the way they are. :lol:

Probably won't work. If he's intact it's going to be his natural instinct to mate. Nothing you can do 'bout that.
