Yeah, the real effort cleaning seems to be getting over the hurdle of starting, and doing it with them just makes that fun. I love how aghast they get that i am moving their stuff around.

Also, is it common to have to ban certain treats because it makes them aggressive? Delilah ended up getting mean over the grapes yesterday, yanking out chunks of Dajours fur and nipping at me looking for them

Volkova III posted:All right. Talk me out of bringing home the feral kitten that showed up at my friend's house. I have one very chill 8lb rabbit. Can you get cats to 100% follow a "friends, not food" paradigm if you get them on track early? I didn't do any early work with my cat and he sees the bunnies as toys at worst. I've never seen him try to hurt them, just scare them. Obviously every cat is different, but from everything I hear its really not hard to pair them

House rabbit society encouraged me to get bunnies with my cat, and thought my caution was silly, so I'm not so sure thats the best advice. There were a ton of caveats, but it came down to 'you know if your cat is too much of a hunter, but house bunnies usually win that encounter'

More than once my 13lbs cat has come running out of the room the bunnies hang out in with his tail between his legs. And I'm pretty sure its the smaller of the two, a 7-8lbs REW, who is running him off When they interact keep an eye out for claws, the only real issue I was warned about is claws cutting delicate rabbit skin

I didn't comment on that jist because it seems obvious. On that note, be prepared to clip you cat claws pretty regularly. Probably every 2 weeks minimum

Thumbtacks posted:We got a sitter for this weekend to just go over twice a day and feed him and hang out and she keeps sending us pictures and she just sent me a picture of her holding him on her lap and I’m furious. He won’t let ME do that I've noticed more experienced bunny people tend to have a way of making the bunny enjoy it. Like, they just ninja the bunny into their lap and get them loving the pats before the bunny has a chance to realize they don't like lap. My bunnies will not let me pick them up, but I watched the experienced people just scoop them no problems like the kids love being carried

Hardwood Floor posted:Oh also quick question: since my dudes haven't fully hit bunny puberty yet, how does fixing males affect behavior stuff? I've only fostered girls and one was super moody and mean until I got her fixed and then she was much more calm, does the same kinda apply to boys? Apparently boys are much much worse without the snip, and will fight so its not an optional thing anyway

Ok Comboomer posted:I always heard that unspayed females were more belligerent and difficult, and boys more variable in temperament but hooooorny my understanding is the females are more stubborn and territorial, but 2 boys together specifically is major fight territory because the are just feed fight or gently caress, and another boy only offers one option either way, get all your rabbits fixed no matter what unless you have REAL good reason not to. I've known too many awesome buns who had spent years in a shelter to think otherwise

Free roam bunnies are the best (having a private space they get put in like at night doesn't change free roam status imo)

grack posted:Your rabbit either loves you deeply or is trying to kill you. with 10+lbs of bunny I am gonna say delilah is trying to kill me evidence suggests its because she goes into a grape rage seriously, last night she was snorfling and grunting trying to get to me on the couch because I had some, and the cat was hiding on the back of the couch. she has also drawn blood by confusing my finger tip for the sweet sweet grape flesh

Shelter bunnies are well behaved  Dajour digs at the carpet sometimes, but its rarely difficult to get him to stop, and he seems to do it to piss me off because I have seen nothing torn up when I am not around

Having a 10+lbs bunny dancing on your feet is an experience And i do a timothy/orchard grass blend that I started for similar reasons, but it makes their poop so much better than pure timothy that I stayed with it.

After Oxbow sent us like 100 pounds of the stuff free of charge because we did a 27-rabbit rescue, we became loyalists. They love it, we love it, and a 25-pound bag lasts forever with the 5 we have.

Delilah wants on the couch(because she thinks she can get more grapes there) but is just too big to jump, while being barely too small to pull herself up. Poor giant bunny

Halloween Jack posted:Can you move them anywhere with less noise, or give them some music that partially drowns out the sound without being just as upsetting? not really. I've been sitting in here with them, and they have started to write it off as just more random noises, but the first hour or two was super upsetting to them. They aren't happy, but they are eating and drinking so I'm not too worried
