7 Reasons Why Rabbits Make Great Pets 

Bunnies are the ultimate cute. They require daily attention though, especially if they are not being fed properly. You need to clean their habitat daily too or they could get ill.

My rabbit was all nuzzly, cute soft tickly and loving. She used to sleep in bed with me when I was a young teenager. She was so cute and she lived until she was nearly 9, she only died because she got bunny cancer. I used to kiss her face, stroke her back, tickle her whiskers and feed her dandelion leaves parsley and fruits! She was so tame and she never tried to bite me! She once jumped up and licked all the tears off my face when I was sad! I LOVED my bunny!

I had a rabbit when I was small now I want a another one

I found one on the road and had to stop,chased it and finally got him. Super friendly we are bodies already,he jumped in my bed and slept by my side throughout the night. He inspected the house like everywhere,very curious creature,he is super cute and adorable ❤️ he loves carrots. Haven’t had a bunny since I was a kid. He is very affectionate,I am surprised.

My rabbit learnt how to close the door today.... I cant have it open anymore.

her accent is cool as hell :D

I agree with everything except them being a low-maintenance pet. They require an exotic vet experienced with rabbits and cannot be left unsupervised for a weekend. Rabbits can get a deadly condition called GI stasis and very quickly go from fine to deaths door if not caught in time and treated properly. When my bun went into GI Stasis he was hopping around happy at 4:30pm by dinner at 6:30pm he didn't come out for his food, I tried for an hour to coax him out of his hide and get him to eat with no luck so I called the vet. I had to drive to the next city over from me to get to the only 24hr emergency rabbit bet. I got there at 8:30pm and his body temperature was dropping fast and I got him to the vet just in time to save his life. Having 2 cats, one dog, and 2 rabbits this is how I would classify them as pets: Elementary level pet ownership is a cat, they get all their vet bills out of the way as a kitten and rarely need to see the vet afterwards. They can be trained to use a litterbox and kept inside or can be barn cats living outside. Dogs, are Highschool level pets, they require lots more vetting than the cat because on top of fixing and baby shots they also need yearly heartworm flea and tick medication and they require walks outdoors in all weather. Rabbits are university level pet ownership. Hear me out, Rabbits need a rabbit savvy exotic vet that you may have to travel out of town to see. Yes rabbits can be litter trained but it needs cleaned out more often than the cat litter. For the cats and dogs I buy dry kibble and small pouches of wet food available at local stores. I feed my rabbits a little bit of their pellets, As much hay as they want and two service of fresh greens and herbs. I absolutely LOVE my buns and would never want to stop anyone from getting a pet rabbit but people need to be told the truth so they don't get a bunny thinking they are low maintenance when they require much more care than was said in the video. I would NEVER leave alone all weekend, they even come camping in my trailer with me! The dog and buns come but the cats stay home.

I wanted a rabbit for a pet ever since I was in the 1st grade!

My rabbit never kisses me but loves to lay next to my back

I have my first rabbit and need to watch carefully every day in case my bunny is sick but doesn't show any signs, but the cuteness worth it🥰

My daughter’s rabbit (my grand rabbit) is my guy. The sweetest lil thing. Very smart. He’s a 2&1/2 pound mini Rex buck named Lucky 🍀

Never leave your rabbit more than 8 hours. Anything can happen and they might also get really lonely.

I am also raising a dwarf bunny named Tobin. This is a truly touching and useful video.I will come back often to watch your videos. Enjoy happy times with your bunny 🐰💕

I THOUGHT I wanted another dog after my 15 yr old Labs are gone, but the more I look into it, the more "right" a rabbit (or two) feels. My daughter wants a Daschund, but I'm "working on" her. lol

So adorableeeeee

I love animals also cockatiel are great to have. In the past whit my ex a had cockatiels. They so sweet and lovely as pet, and they ask for a lot of love. I think personal people like myself and other animals lovers are people whit a good hart. xxx Thank you for sharing this video!

"and they will sleep wherever they like...preferably the best spot in the house..." HAHA yes!!!!!!! I love it. great video! love the commentary!

I used to be into cats and dogs, switched to birds a few years ago, but in Canada bunnies are also "emotional support animals" so it made me think. Just went to Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society center and, except for owls, hawks and eagles, there was one bunny. So cute and fluffy.....

Great Video!

Wow❣️ I didn’t really know about bunnies as pets❣️ Great to see 🎉🥰❤️✌🏻

Rabbits are so under rated as pets. They perfect little doods

Came for the rabbit tips. Stayed for her 😍 her accent is beautiful

aww i love rabbits there so adorable.

Omg how beautiful is that 😍

Hello peeps I’ve had a single indoor rabbit for a couple months, for any person that is looking for a rabbit please make sure you have a good amount of time and patience they are very high maintenance in cleaning feeding etc and are not for the average dog person. Rabbits are prey animals which mean they get scared/frightened really easily they’ll are very amazing companions once you have made a strong bond with them but most people end up getting ride of them so yea!

"say will do anysing fur a ba na na or apull" 😄 love french accent!

Saw a really cute rabbit for sale and have thought about getting him. But I also saw a husky that needs adopted and have always wanted a husky! Ugh it’s so hard cause I know I can’t have both

Bunny is so cute.

Bunnies and hares are so sweet and best pets ever.

I just got a rabbit today it was a birthday present, Im already in love with her and cant wait to train and spend time with her.

Thank you !

very useful! thanks for your sharing!

They are so cute

i got a bunny plush and now i want to have a pet bunny- i never realised how cute bunnies are when their ears are down-

The crazy thing about this video I just watch one on what not to do when having a pet rabbit like cover up slippery wood floors with area rugs so rabbit won't slip and injury back or spin. But this rabbit did well on wood floors. Glad I watched this one

I agree mostly. But When I had two bunnies I didn't had the impression that they are low maintenance and especially not that I could leave them more than when I'm away for work. Unimaginable leaving them over the weekend. I miss them still very much, but I took them spontaneously after I saw that my neighbor kept them in unimaginable conditions. Since I didn't want them to die in filth I took them and they were the most happy rabbits with great personalities. After I cleaned a wound of one hurt bunny she licked me everytime I was around. And they hopped everytime on my lap, although they didn't liked be petted very much they loved to be near (or on) us. After five months I had to give them away to a new home because as much as I love animals, I'm no pet person. And I wanted to ensure that they can live the happiest life. So I'm watching all the bunny content I can on RU-vid. Maybe one day I can afford the time and money to keep two or three bunnies again.

They are great pets.

Accent while talking about rabbits 😂😂 cracking me up hard

I might get a pet bunny, I would really like a affectionate and chill one~

In New Zealand Pet Rabbit popularity grown in 30% in the last seven years and in New Zealand Rabbit is now fourth most popular Pet: "Over the last seven years, the number of pet rabbits in New Zealand has exploded. It’s estimated that over 100,000 rabbits are kept as pets in New Zealand with 3% of households having an average of 2 rabbits each. This growth in the popularity of rabbits may come as a surprise to some but they are now the fourth most popular pet in New Zealand, after dogs, cats and fish! If this takes you by surprise, the New Zealand Companion Animal Council (NZCAC) found that even more surprisingly, unlike for cats and dogs, the main reason people acquire rabbits in New Zealand is that they believe that rabbits will be fun for children. In contrast, most people adopt cats or dogs for companionship. Perhaps this can explain why the amount of pet rabbits in New Zealand has risen by over 30% since 2011! If you are one of the people who have a pet rabbit because you find them fun companions, you’ll love these handy tips that focus on keeping your rabbits as happy as you hope they’d be! 1. Wild rabbits are used to travelling huge distances every day - and this desire to move around still exists in pet rabbits. Try to give your pet rabbit as much space as possible, with secure areas to exercise and run around. 2. Rabbits are incredibly social! If you can’t keep more than one bunny in your house give your rabbit your own human company for as long as you can. 3. Rabbits should be fed a very specific diet to keep them healthy. You can find a detailed breakdown of their diet in a previous Pawprintz article, but up to 85% of their diet should be grass and hay. 4. Rabbits are highly intelligent animals and as such they need some stimulation. Provide them with digging boxes or small toys so they can keep themselves occupied! 5. Keep your bunnies vaccinated against killer diseases. Talk to your vet and discuss an immunisation plan for your pets. 6. If your rabbit isn’t totally comfortable with you, try to limit how much you pick them up. Rabbits can get spooked if you lift them high in the air, so when building trust it’s best to get down to ground level with them. 7. Despite common belief, holding a rabbit upside and putting them into a trance doesn’t calm them down - in fact it’s a fear response. If your rabbit is scared, put them in a comfortable environment. If you follow simple steps to keep your rabbit in a safe environment, it’s easy to keep them happy and you’ll be able to see their happiness too! A happy and hoppy rabbit will dart around, jump in the air, and maybe even twist in a dance! It’s no wonder that so many people think rabbits are such fun pets!" Link:Pet-N-Fur

I have two elderly Labs and I don't think I want another dog when they're gone. Seriously considering a rabbit (or two) .

Rabbits are the best!

Very, very clean animals, super easy to litter train. Although, you need to be very careful about their diet, and sometimes finding an exotic vet can be hard.

I’ve had house rabbits before and they’re great pets. Not as rewarding as a dog, obviously, but SO much less hard work. And I never threw any veg out. They're absolutely brilliant.

They cutesy and wootsy and quick as can be?

How is it to have a rabbit compared to having pet rats? Any in-depth responses would be appreciated from any savvy rat and rabbit owners. (Edit: I'm ashamed to say this but upvotes would help my question be seen, I wouldn't get anything else out of it.)

such a nice video

Rabbits are arguably the cutest pets to own aside from hamsters and kittens

Great video, I have started my own channel about my 6 bunnies :)

Honestly, based from my experience rabbits are low maintenance where feeding is concerned, but takes a lot out of you otherwise. They can be very destructive, and they poop and pee all over the house. My son's pet rabbit, Nibbles, makes me laugh a lot though. What I find very amusing abut her is that she will come scampering out of her place of solitude the moment she hears the refrigerator door open, or (wait for it) if she hears a snack bag being opened. A snack bag! can you believe that. 😄... She thinks of carrot or mostly mango skin when the fridge is opened.

I had a rabbit when i still 5 years old, he likes to eat electronic cables like my PS2 cables, even tho we already give him carrots and water spinach.

Rabbits need a lot of attention and care. You Can NOT leave your rabbit alone for a weekend. If your rabbit for example stops eating you have 12 hrs before their chances of survival are slim. They too have to go to the vet at least once a yr and a vet that knows a lot about them. They should not be keep outside and you should “ bunny proof”your house. It’s a lot of work, but is so rewarding! With bunnies you can tell when they are happy. Please instead of buying consider adoption. There’s so many bunnies that need a good forever home.

always loved rabbiti mean what peaceful fascinating lengthy, buck teeth , earred creatures.ol Bugs bunny lookin bad bois

After watching this, I’m legit thinking about buying a bunny and getting my Cadbury on.

I love ❤️ my rabbit 🐇 he is so cute 🥰

You have a Beautiful view!

Where do rabbits go after they get married? On their bunnymoon!

This helped...iam thinking about getting it at least 1 maybe 2 but need advice on if 2 will get along lol

“You can leave them for a weekend” are you kidding me??? Maybe if you want to come home to a dead rabbit

Cute

I prefer one bunny that bonds to me. I give him lots of attention and love. I am 60+ and done with dogs and cats. My daughter

Rabbit is tamed now coming with the Chinese dragon triple mount 🤣

I already have a cat now I want a rabbit. I’ll get one when I move out heh

I had a rabbit i raised it with dogs it thought it was part of the pack my rabbit was also raised in the house he had free run

I have a rabbit and he is huge and fluffy I keep him around the house he plays with my dog

You have to take care of your bunny EVERYDAY. You can't leave alone for a weekend oder several days. Bunnies are sensitive to stomach problems and they need daily fresh food of good condition!

thanks for that ideo

rabbit's litterboxes/hay are not very low maintenance, and constantly sweeping poop.

They poop everywhere frequently. All over the floor.

Good video! Like

If you give balanced advise about the cost commitment of time and finances, people will be more understanding about whether to get a rabbit. Rabbit neglect, abuse, abandonment is very high in many countries because people are not educated BEFORE they adopt or buy a rabbit

I agree with everything except low-maintenance. That is a BIG misconception! I learned the hard way. I once lef my rabbit alone for 24 hours and when I came back he got a seizure. I was traumatized by it. It never happened before when I was with him (he had plenty of food and water, but he still went into shock). They are extremely sensitive to their diet, you have to be extra careful about what you are feeding them and the cost for vererinary treatment can be quite high, not mentioning you need to go to an exotic pet vet. If you mess up, you can easily kill them. They require a lot of exercise and attention. They can´t be compared to cats or dogs when comes to maintenance. You can just leave your cat or dog hanging around, but not a rabbit. The rabbit will need you to approach them, stroke them and play with them at least 3 hours a day unless they have another bonded rabbit. They also need to be groomed regularly to prevent gut blockages from ingested fur. If you want your rabbit to be truly happy, you also have to make sure they have a routine (you can´t just give them food any time of the day, it has to be around the same time every day which means you have to get up before 9 am to feed them EVERY DAY). You need to give them at least 3 types of leafy greens every day and some other veggies on top (and that is definitely NOT CHEAP, veggies in my country is pricey), carefully monitor their weight and make sure their nails are clipped. You have to bunny-proof your house, which can add many limitations to your life like not being able to own certain other pets or poinsonous plants, leave food or clothes lying around, leaving doors open etc. They are just a LOT of work and are not suitable for beginners without proper commitment, time and space.

I live in a tough neighborhood so I really need a rabbit to protect me if there's a burglar or attempted robbery. I want a really tough one which can chew threw electrical cables and be just fine. I also want one which warns me if there is some dangerous person approaching my house.

I love her accent

*they're also cheap. Where I got for pets bunnies/rabbits are only 5 dollars.*

I bought a cat litter box for a five month old British shorthair

All rabbits are different. My two keep each other company while I am away. They just ask for plenty of water and hay. They also get the right amount of pellets, plus greens and scraps. The neighbor girls check on them! I am VERY careful not to let them have too many sweets, as in fruits that are higher in sugar. They LOVE banana peels! Also entire bunches of celery!

❤😍Julian & Sebastian💝😙💖🎀

i like my rabbit!!!!

Rabbits are such great pets🖤my mum thinks that they aren’t but that’s because she thinks it’s hard and doesn’t really care for them😔🙄 whenever I am at school I tell her to feed them but she doesn’t and so,my brother does!! When I first got them I didn’t do any research but when I got them I realized I didn’t know anything,and so i researched, they really are great pets!! 🖤🤩,there so fluffy,and eveeything😳 But the sad thing is that,people do the wrong thing with rabbits😔they hit them with belts/sticks it’s so hard to see that

Ma rabbit loves to lick my hand he always shows affection and cute

My rabbit dont eat carrots.she eat Kellogg's choco and mix salad

I wouldn’t leave my Benjamin over the weekend without someone coming in for water and food. No way I would worry all the time.

I think that I hear a lovely French accent 🥰🇫🇷

Also peoples cant resist their twitching noses and floppy ears or long ears

Thank you.....I am getting one as I type this message.

I’m thinking of asking my mum for one for my bday in January bc I don’t really want anything for Christmas...hopefully I will get one if I do it will be my first ever pet..and I’ll name it Tofu 😁🤍

I had a rabbit 🐰🐇 as a kid had basically following you round like a dog lovily ⛅ sunny personally this was years ago his name was Thumper a dwarf rabbit 🐇🐰 nowadays I don't have a pet rabbit 🐰 in but I have a Hansa linecrafts Rabbit 🐰 called chocolate 🍫 I'm getting toys and somewhere for him to sleep so I can do reborn style video but I oviously won't need food or drink
