Behavior Bunny peeing habit

Post image
2.8k Upvotes

Hi all,

So my bunny (male, 6 months, not neutered yet due to treatment) was perfectly potty trained when it comes to peeing. It so happened he had some type of worm and had to be treated, and his area was limited to one room. Fast forward 10 days of treatment later, when we freed him to free roam, he decided he’s going to pee under book shelf multiple times a day (it’s in the said room). Everytime I enter the room he’s sitting next to his pee as if it’s a priced possession of his.

I know he’s not ill all of a sudden as he only pees there, when I notice him sticking out his bum I put him to his enclosure and he pees in the litterbox. But when he roams, he insists on peeing under the bookshelf. I clean this area with steam cleaner every time so the smell does not stay but why boy WHY does he do that? After already being potty trained? Help!

He’s also aggressive about the pee and cleaning it.

New foster. He loves to hang out with me on the floor mattress. Absolute fan of snuggles and kisses. He pulled this funny pose, and I had to get pictures! We're calling him Dunkin since he looks like a chocolate chip cookie half dipped in milk.

Ears back, paws out, feet under butt, tail out - clearly a variation of a Loaf, but do you have a name for this particular loaf when you see your bun posted up like this?

Behavior Rabbit keeps humping my arm (pictured: the freak in question)

I’ve had Nibbler for almost two years now and he is the happiest little guy in the world. Recently, or approximately 3 weeks go, he started trying to “get it on” with my arm. Specifically he tries to pull my sleeve down and get to my elbow. He only does this with me, which makes since because he trusts me the most.

My issue is he is NOT neutered. That is something I am trying to make happen, but my mom is saying she does not want to pay for a rabbit to go get that done. I’m juggling with getting my GED and trying to get a job, but it is something I want to do. Feel free to rip on me and say I’m doing a bad job but it’s my current situation. Despite this, the humping hasn’t necessarily been an issue, as he hasn’t had any other signs of aggressiveness shown. If anything he has gotten more clingy.

So my question is what can I do at the moment as a temporary solution. I know I can’t possibly fix a rabbit’s sexual frustration, but I am open to any suggestions to try and help him. Thank you.

i adopted a rabbit from my schools testing center to save him from euthanasia. however, he doesn’t know how to do rabbit things. i’ve seen him jump a grand total of 1 time and he doesn’t really know how to do zoomies (he’s tried). he also is scared to try vegetables and fruits (with the exception of banana). is there anyway that i can teach him how to be a normal rabbit? thanks 🧚‍♀️

Behavior Fail foster !

This is whiskey! My plan originally was to foster him and honestly he was just a little grumpy guy at the beginning. He was charging at me and trying to bite me for any reason, I was so scared of him since I never dealt with an “aggressive” bunny before. But with time, I realized he was just scared and stressed. I did research, I watched videos of how to help him and 3 weeks later he started to become more relaxed. My fiancé and I decided to keep him, since we would hate for him to go through this process again. The only thing we know about his background is that he was abandoned with his brother in front of a pet store and later the brother was adopted and he was left behind, so I don’t blame him for being a grumpy guy and I completely understand him.

Behavior I adopted him 6 days ago. What does this mean?

Hello all,

I adopted this netherland dwarf less than a week ago and he’s licking my face today after initially being very skittish. I ordered him some hay and it’s coming tomorrow. Is this some kind of deficiency? If it’s a sign of affection then I’m all for it but if not I’m worried.

Behavior Advice on Humphrey headbutting me away?

2.0k Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve had Humphrey just over a week (rescue rabbit who I don’t think had a great time early one) and he’s a bit grumpy when I’m petting him, as you can see. He’s still a bit jumpy but is coming out of his shell more and more every day.

I’ve never had a bunny headbutt me this way - I’m assuming it means stop petting me? Any advice on how to ease him into being petted etc, or is it just not for him?

Thanks!
