My rabbit was on mesh floor when I adopted him and it’s so sad Bc he was 1 years old and had 4 homes before me 😢🥺he’s now 4 years old I love and spoil him sm he deserves it for everything he went through
Very nice video. :) One fact I think you could add is that contrary to popular belief carrots are not ideal rabbit food, the high sugar level can cause they digestive system to get very upset if they eat too much. Just a few slices a day should be the max.
+BudgetBunny Ahoyhoy! I just got a meat lagamorph for a pet. her name is Azaria. do you know any tips on how to bond better with a semi territorial make rattus rattus?
I found Ollie in the hay feeder hilarious too! My brown Nethie , Bayley, sits on the hay bale inside they hay bag until he is full up and then has a snooze in there. Rabbits are SO funny .
I’m sorry to hear about that. I know how hard that can be. My baby I raised from a Kit died in January. She would have been nine this year and we shared a birthday. She lost her eyesight and relied on me heavily when she got old and our bond was so incredible her last few years. It’s hard and I wish she was still here. No bunny ever could replace my Chloe but I’m looking into adopting someone to raise in her memory and using what she taught me in those nine years to make my next baby’s life so much better. And I know I’m gonna do the same thing again and again if I can.
Absolutely fantastic to see a video with excellent information about rabbit care! There are so many on RU-vid that are really bad and giving the completely wrong advice. Your rabbits are wonderful and clearly amazingly loved and well cared for. They look so content and happy. Congratulations on doing a great job !
Thanks for posting, I often worry about posts like this because many people post about what is fun for them and not necessarily what is fun for their bunnies, but your facts were great. I love your set-up too, that is how a rabbits life should look!
This actually helped with a paper I am working on. I also have two bunnies myself, Nikita and Anoon. I had a previous bunny, Flopsy Cottontail who escaped and I have never seen since. Will also hold her dear in my heart.
Lol he is such a character! Never seen him do that until the other day. Guess the hay on top was better than the hay on better! And glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the informational rabbit video! I'm going to an animal rescue shelter tomorrow to go meet their bunnies, and most likely adopt one or two! :) I'm so exited!!!! :D
We adopted our bunny, Milo from the animal shelter and plan to adopt another from the same place tomorrow. Milo settled in super quickly which surprised me, and he is not at all phased by my 2 cats and 2 dogs. Even my American Bulldog who barks in his face. He just looks at her from his lounging position and is like, what is your point? lol We only got him 2 weeks ago. He willingly climbed into my lap this morning and I was super stoked.
Rocky reminds me of our bunny, Shippo. He has a little more white on him than Shippo did, but that little white paw is the same. He had a white nose, too. He passed away earlier this year. I still really miss him.
That's right! There are so many animals sitting at rescues or shelters that are looking for their forever, loving homes. It just takes someone to say no to that adorable baby bun bun at the pet store and contact a rescue instead :)
Really enjoyed this video! It was fun and informative but also concise for people who are new to rabbits or considering them =) Plus all the cute footage of everyone ;) x
Ollie was so cute sitting in the hay rack! I remember when my first bun did that when he was a baby... I thought he had somehow escaped his cage at first, but no, he was just happily sitting in his hay rack... :D
I knew all of these but we have really pampered rabbit! Awesome video I still really enjoyed and this will help people really consider getting a rabbit they are lots of work and many people do not know they need time to hop out of the cage. We have them in rabbit hopping which they really enjoy and gives them a long track to hop, also my rabbit loves being pick up and cuddled I can just be holding her not even petting and she will purr
Yesterday I woke up to a really loud thud. I sat up, turned on the light and my bun Buttercup has fallen off of the bed. 👏👏 (Don't worry the bed isn't that high) 😂
I am hopefully getting a rabbit soon! My parents are paying for the cage,toys etc. While I am paying for the rabbit itself and saving up for it to get spayed/neutered (deepens if it is a girl or boy) , I'm also saving for any vet checkups, emergencies etc. ! THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO! 💖
I found a little white bunny there a couple months in my garden. im so happy i found him. As a Canadian i was scared he died during the winter! He is doing great and i love him so much. I watch your video and it hepls me a lot whit this little furry ball ^^!
Long ago, my dad found a rabbit near the road, and gave it to me, I wanted to keep her, we did, now we have more and more, r.i.p Julia, our first ever rabbit.
:( Make sure your mom takes them to a good home! At school this girl was excited when she found out I had a rabbit too! She said that she has 2 and they had children and she lets them outside in her garden. I told her that I need to spend a ton on a spay (of course!) But she said that there is no point because they live a short life. She also told me that the RIGHT way to pick up a rabbit is by it's ears...... Hearing that scared me. Ears? It's like holding a child by their hair. I found out my bun is a girl, and she said that if you didnt want your rabbit to have babies then get a boy one. Armadillo is the love of my life now. I cant replace her. Some people just dont know how to care for pets. The best place is to take the bunnies to a shelter. Before adopting, they usually ask you to fill out a forum. Many owners will go to a shop to buy their pets, but good owners tend to adopt. The girl also said that keeping rabbits indoors is a stupid and bad idea because they live shorter lives. She said that her bunnies usually live up to 5 years.... I told her domestic house rabbits can live up to 12. She said I was lying and walked away....
+BubbleGumSlushy AJ I also had a bun I found outside one day. My neighbors knew I had one already and asked if he had gotten out, so I got my shoes on and chased after him... while I did, and I picked him up, he wasn't my bun George at all! He was an albino, while George was a whitish Holland Lop with a gray face. I said forget it and put up a few fliers, then introduced the bunnies. George had his usual reaction of 'whatever', and when no one claimed him, I named the new one Ralph and put them together. Ralph became super protective of his little boyfriend George, and they had lots of fun together. Both of them have since passed on, but it was weird to find a bunny in the middle of October in the heart of Los Angeles.
If a rabbit feels upset or threatened they may still display these behaviours. It's their way of saying they don't particularly like something. Some bunnies can be a little grumpy and still do some of these things. Rocky still lunges a bit at me if I put my hand in the lower back part of his cage and he is there. He feels trapped as there's nowhere for him to go. If I need in that corner to clean or I either do it when he's having floor time or shoo him to another area of the cage first.
My bunny might be an exception because she loves being picked up and cuddled. Even though her cage allows her to hop 3 times and also gives her a place to hide I get called an animal abuser for not allowing her to roam free or give her an entire room to herself so this video made me feel much better
I have a pet rabbits named Hops, she is a white/gray and is a French lop! I have a couple videos about her on my channel and she is very friendly bunny. If anyone was wondering, her ears are down :)
Oh so true! I have been peed on and humped and chased! lol. It's just better for their health and overall well being and makes your bond with your rabbit stronger. Unfortunately many people don't understand this before purchasing and many are surrendered to shelters because their rabbit is 'mean' when really they're just acting out due to their hormones.
Re: Rabbits being renovation specialists: The last time I had a rabbit, we gave her fabric scrips from my old flannel shirts. She used them to make herself a warm comfy nest.
