Hello! I very unexpectedly lost my almost 5 year old Flemish giant, Lovelace, early last Thursday morning at the emergency vet. It came on very suddenly, and unfortunately, despite hours of effort, they were not able to save him.
He lived with my other bunny, Shoeshine, for the 4 years that I had him. We did bring his body home so she could see him and process it. I have been upping enrichment and keeping a close eye on her since.
She honestly has seemed pretty fine. She’s been eating well and has seemed a bit more social towards me without him around. I did feel like she wasn’t eating much hay, but I think I reconfigured her diet where she is hungry for it again. I didn’t want her hungry when sad and was trying to rework feeding since I was now only feeding one.
I just want to make sure I am doing everything I can for her, and know all of the signs to watch for that may mean she is unhappy.
Thanks so much!

This is Milo and Lilja. Having a bonding session right now with them. I'm going to freeroam them once they're bonded since my apartment is pretty small. Any tips? Do I still make a homebase for them?

…. When I bring home rabbit safe plants home bc after a week they die and he gets to eat them… like these marigolds beside him. Happy Halloween (dead goes with the aesthetic) 🫣👹🎀

Hello. I have this rabbit living outside my house and and I’m curious if it’s wild or not? He’s pretty small

This is a felted bunny I recently made in memory of Max. 🌈

Max has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and his family wanted to find another way to keep him close.

His mom once described him to me like this:
“Max was my first pet that I had full responsibility for and he was definitely my soul bunny. I’ve never seen another bunny quite like him.”

His fur had such unique markings, with gray and white scattered unevenly across his body. But what stood out to me the most were his beautiful blue eyes with their tiny pupils.

Max’s mom also sent me some of the fur he left behind. I carefully incorporated some of his real fur into the sculpture, so this little bunny would carry a tiny piece of Max with him.

We can’t turn back time or truly hold on to the ones who have left us. But with our hands, we can turn the love, memories, and little details that made them who they were into something we can touch, look at, and keep close for years to come.

Max found his way home in another form.

Rest in parsley, sweet Max. 🤍🐰🥬

I have a pretty boy ( a "géant papillon français"), and as his 4th birthday approaches, his behavior has completely changed. He’s always been the kind of rabbit who doesn’t really care about much of anything—during his walks, he didn’t like to go too far; he liked cuddles but nothing more, and he’d get bored of them quickly, and he never showed me any real signs of affection—except that this summer he started running toward me for cuddles, letting me pet him for three hours if I wanted to; he curls up into a loaf when I pet him or does “flops,” he makes the purring sound of a happy rabbit, and he lets me handle him however I want. Yet he still has the same cage (about 3 meters by 2 meters), the same food, and the same items in his cage; I haven’t changed how I behave around him—nothing has changed. I thought it was just the heat, so he didn’t have the strength to push me away, but right now it’s about 15 degrees, and he’s still acting this way. Of course, I’m fine with him being so sweet and gentle—I was just curious to know why he decided to change

I have a somewhat new bunny named Daisy who is very skittish. She was a rescue that seems to have been taken out of a bad situation when she was young. Because of this, she gets startled easily and does not like to be touched. I have built a decent amount of trust over the few months I have had her, so she will occasionally let me touch under her chin and cheeks, but that's about it. I have had to pick her up a few times and she is very much not a fan. I have been taking her to the vet for nail trims, but I want to start doing them at home eventually. I do not want to stress her out and undo that progress and trust. Does anyone have tips for working towards trust around nail clipping?

Also she's just such a cutie! 🥰

It’s been officially one week since I lost my little Nutmeg (left) and am no longer a bun mom 😔

Violet (right) I lost a little over a year ago, but she was an old lady…. After her loss having Nutmeg filled the void, made the loss easier—I’ve been a mess since losing Nutmeg. The last week has been a blur.

Show me your happy bunnies, maybe their cuteness will make me feel better ❤️‍🩹

We're moving to a new place and the stairs look like this. Our bunnies will be free roaming in the living room, dining room and kitchen which all lead to the hallway with these stairs. Of course we will try to keep the doors to the hallway closed but shit happens so I'd rather have them safe if that's even possible?

Hey fellow bun-parents! I hope you and your floofsters are triving.

I'm looking for any ideas/advice on how to tackle a transition. Please see Pet Tax pic attached of my handsome son.

I have a massive dinning table that Lou - a little Netherland, has claimed as his BatCave. Hidden Surveillance. YK. There was a chair under it and that has become his Fortress of Solitude for the last 3 years or so. He sleeps there. It's all cushioned with his blankets, a warm beanie bag and a Spiderman plush.

Last year, Bun Dad converted a chest of drawers into a nice open "hutch". The front is fully open, the back, top and side are closed. Lou has access to get in and out at his leisure. It's got a thick woven mat, a little panda pillow, and a round plush bed that we can take out or put back in if needed and there's still ample space for him to loaf in there. He uses the "hutch" to nap, to play hide n seek, when he's waiting for food etc. Basically, he uses it.

I am getting rid of the massive dinning table and the chair underneath. The horror, i know. I'm a terrble Bun Mom.

Any advice on helping Lou prepare and transition to the "hutch" full-time and any advice on how to handle any bunatude that will definitely follow?

Please and thank you!

Our rabbits have recently passed away from RHD1 seeing how it affects them in their final moments is heart breaking. Please vaccinate them as it eliminates the risk by 80%. Had we known the risks associated with this disease we would have vaccinated them straight away but the vet had told us we hadn’t needed to. There is also a spike in the disease at the moment so please be careful ❤️

This is my boy Milo. Any twins in here?

Ok, so we all know those buns are crazy good for mental health. But pls tell me about a specific moment where you're bun(s) snatched you out of a bad episode in your life!

Not going into detail here, but I am having a very rough time lately and this morning I got some extra bad news.

Was crying my whole way back home. And at home...

I saw my Safana munching on fresh greens. Like full on munching, mouth stuffed like a chipmunk.

I looked at her and she looked soooo damn silly xD crying fit turned into laughing fit.

went over to cuddle and kiss her.

world was less gray after <3

Hey there, I'm looking into a few places to move and was wondering if anyone knew what the community is like in Santa Fe? I'm currently in Portland where we have a monthly grooming pop-up but wanted to look around and see if anyone did home stops or pop upstairs?

I know the odds are low, but worth a shot! Pic for tax!

So we took my rabbit, Fluffy, to the vets at 5pm today (just an hour ago). She has dental issues and potential e.cuniculi, and the only way to make her better is crazy 0.0.01% survival rate, £1000 surgeries and medication every day and still then she’ll have to take meds every day and struggle. I chose to take her home and decide a date to have her euthanised. I’m 14, I’ve had her since I was 9. Since then all of my massive, horrible life events have happened and she’s been there with me through all of them. I’m just so devastated and sad and I feel horrible for putting her through this. Idk how I’ll live without her - she’s my last childhood pet left and I’ll have no one. I’m not sure what I’m looking for, reassurance? Something like that? She’s such a sweet, bubbly girl - that whole vets visit she just wanted me to hold her, nipped me on the arm to try and get me to hold her once. I’ll miss her so much. :(
