Hi all, I'm from Sandakan, Sabah. Would like to get some help from you guys. I had 2 pairs of rabbits.
The 1st pair now is about 4 to nearly 5 months. (I call them Monsters) - Swordy & ChungChung
The 2nd pair is about 1 month plus. (I call them Monkeys) - Spidy & Rocky

I bought the monkeys home so that they can play around with the monsters.

But the problem is when I bring the monkeys home, it seems like the doe monster quite angry or perhaps jealous.. (i'm not sure about it). When the monkeys landed on the floor, they are so excited to hop towards the monsters place (they are caged up). The the monster doe started to become angry and attempt to bite the young one. At first I don't really believe of what I saw. The I try the second time, where I hold one of the young one with both my hand and go near to the monster doe. Then the doe attack again, this time my finger got bitten *thank god the young one safe*. Assuming both monster hate the monkeys so I seperated them.

One day, I happen to found out that the monster buck seems like communicating with the monkeys. Then I let the monster buck out. Surprisingly, they get along very well. What should I do so that the monster doe wont be that aggresive to the young ones? I would love to see them hopping around and play together sad.gif

Oh.. would like to share the pictures of my babies smile.gif

hi, what a lovely and adorable bunnies u have  thumbup.gif . Different bunnies have different temperaments and characters. Generally, senior bunny which is bigger in size will bully those smaller size junior bunnies. Also, rabbit is a territorial creature and it does not like others to step into its area. Please be aware that rabbits tend to fight when they grow mature in order to show their dominant over the others. Rabbit fight can be very violent and i have came across one bunny with a big bleeding hole near its belly due to fighting. As such, i would suggest u to get yr bunnies spayed when they are mature. Bunnies which are already spayed will tend to be less aggresive, healthy and able to live harmony with other buns.  smile.gif

Thanks meiling... that day the sr. doe started to bite again.. but was blocked by the playpen... my heart almost drop when i see the the doe junior seems like injured... but thank god.. she's fine.. mature means 4-5 months izzit?

one more thing... will the doe get frustrated with the desperate buck keep on humping on her? when i let them out for play.. the buck seems like chasing her n humphump, and she keep on running and running away from the buck... but when the buck stop chasing her.. she went back to the buck and seduce him... sweat.gif they are quite a lovely couple.. as they stayed together in the same cage when they are still no more than 1 month old... one thing bout them is that the buck nv disturb her when they are in the cage... the humphump activity is on when they are out of their cage...

I believe not to feed corn as well? I remember that corn isnt good for rabbit.. please correct me if i'm wrong...

I normally give them raisins as treats.... normal meals would be pellets and hay lor...

My bunny gave birth to 3 babies 5 days ago... but the sad thing is that i couldn't be with them when they were just born... as the next day i have to be out of town for work... then 2nd day.. 1 baby died... 3rd day... 2 babies died... sad.gif

this is the first time she become a mother... but the weird thing is that i dun see bunch of furs surround... i only see very fine furs flying but which looks like molting.. didn't know she was pregnant.. She keep on stepping on the babies... and separate the 1st baby from the other... then the baby die the next day... sad.gif i know it's natural selection that the mum will know which one is weak but izzit possible that the mum didn't feed them? cuz the mum bunny still has lots of furs below till it covers the bottom part... and for your info.. my bunny is mix breed of lop ear and normal rabbit... she got her ears and long fluffy fur from the lop side...

can anyone tell me what should i do now? she seem depress after 3 of the babies died and keep on staying at the corner of the cage... the first baby she able to make grave for it (with the towel and timothy pile up on top of the dead baby).. but the 2nd one we just remove it and the third one we put the body for half hour with her... the third one died on my fren hands (a bunny lover as well). it's so frustrating and heart broken... >.<

*for your info, my bunnies are outdoor bunnies, and when i know that my chungchung got babies... i immediately buy her some comfy towels and the woodie shredded and put timothy hay to keep the babies warm... i use a rectangular box which is bigger size of my bunny so that she can go in and feed them*
