I Adopted a Bunny! | Lumos the Bun 

You should buy a play pen instead of a cage

bunnies are a blessing

I'm leaving this comment because I haven't seen your other videos, but it doesn't seem like you've made an update, so I have no clue if you've made adjustments or not. He needs a much bigger enclosure! Bunnies need tons of room, and it's not up to me to decide that free roaming is best for you, but if you can I'd highly recommend it. If you can't then make sure to build him a much bigger space and let him out for play time as much as you possibly can. Bunnies need several hours of play time outside of their enclosure every day! He also needs unlimited hay, and lots of veggies! I didn't see a water bottle in your cage which is good! The resources you mentioned are all great, I'm just surprised that you didn't seem to know some of these things, especially since they're so important to your bunnies health and well-being. In the end taking care of an animal takes trial and error, and I hope that this helped. Good Luck!

Bunnies are majestic fluff balls

Most rabbit experts will tell you that cage is a BAD idea. He doesn't have enough room to do much of anything other then eat and lay down. Rabbits need lots of room to stand and move around, or he can develop major join issues, obesity, and other health problems. I know you let him out to play but that's not really enough. He needs to be able to move well at ALL times not just during playtime. Most owners get rabbits thinking they are a low maintenance pet but they are not. They are indeed HIGH maintenance. Also be sure to get a list of things he can and cant eat. There are veggies that can hurt his tummy.

Hey! Your new baby is BEAUTIFUL. I adopted a bunny last year and learned so much through Facebook groups , I definitely recommend joining some so you can learn tips on how to take care of Lumos from other people's experience. A few key things, bunnies should have a plethora of hay 24/7 , they need to constantly eat so if you ever notice him refusing to eat, thats a warning sign. I dont want to scare you but thats crucial to know. So what you have is good, but you might have to refill the hay several times a day. I literally have tubs all around my apartment so my bunny Oreo has plenty. Also cages can be fine but bunnies need lots of room to grow and thrive so if you can you should consider eventually making Lumos cage free once he knows his litter box area and everything. I know thats not always a possibility but he will at least need lots of time out of his cage to run and play. My relationship with my bun is so strong and amazing ever since i got rid of the cage. Bunnies are such fun amazing pets and they each have such strong personalities so I cant wait to see Lumos’ life with you :)

Very pretty bunny just get a bigger hay rack ❤️

I'm personaly not a fan of keeping rabbits in cages since they get stressed more easily but as long as he gets to come out and run around and stuff for at least four or five hours a day and spend time with you, it should be all good. Congrats by the way! rabbits are an underappreciated pet and the third most abandoned pet next to cats and dogs. especially around Easter and Christmas. since so many people buy them on impulse and don't realize how high maintennance they are. they are sensitive to the weather and predators outdoors. which is why I don't like the idea of keeping a rabbit outdoor in a hutch without proper shade or shelter, and proper protection. But its okay and I'm happy to see how good you're doing.

Am I the only one who’s heart melts when rabbits clean themselves

Awe u got him from a rescue ❤️ I’m so glad I always see people buying rabbits from stores and not having (proper) things for them. It’s good to see u having all the things they need ! He is extremely adorable!

he is SO CUTE but you should get a much bigger cage soon like a dog play pen and LOTS more hay in his litter box

Just wanted to give my take based on facts and research regarding some of the comments here. 1. When you first bring a bunny home you should start them in a smaller enclosure so they don’t get stressed. 2. After an adjustment period of about a week. according to the House Rabbit Society, "one guideline to go by is at least 8 square feet of enclosure space combined with at least at least 24 square feet of exercise space, for 1-2 rabbits, in which the rabbit(s) can run and play at least 5 hours per day." You should select a cage size based on the size of exercise space & lifestyle. 3. Spinach is high in oxalic acid but an ok leafy green & nutritious. It should be be fed in smaller quantities than other greens but it is NOT unsafe to feed spinach to you rabbit. It is obvious that she has done research & will make improvements as she grows with the bunny & learns his personality. 🐰❤️

my god that has to be one of the cutest buns i've ever seen. he is precious!

OMG when i heard the spongebob musical I squealed😂 Ive been so obsessed with it lately!

I am getting a bunny in 2-4 months and im so exited i have been re searching for like 6 months now and im gonna spend the rest of these months getting anything i have missed ! :)

That's so good that you adopted!

I’m getting a bunny soon and also happening to be naming him lumos! He is a orange and white holland lop and I am very excited. He will be free roaming in my room with everything he wants and needs so I can make sure he is a super happy bun. I also happen to adore Harry Potter so I love the name. Thanks for the video!! ❤️

That's such a cute rabbit :) And you seem like a great owner !

So cute!!! Glad you adopted a bunny . 😊🐰🐇🐾🌼🌷🌞🌝

Lumos MAXIMA😍😍😍😍😍 Ohmygoodness he is so cuteee i'm melting and my heart can't manage the adorableness😍😍❤❤

That bunny is so graceful!🥰

I love rabbits. I have a rescued female rabbit called Angel. Her family were attacked by a nasty cat and poor Angel became an orphan and most of her siblings died too. My friend who is a breeder was called up and rescued the surviving bunnies. I visited her just after she was rescued. I gave her and her siblings hugs and prayers. I met Angel when she was only three weeks old. I visited her nearly every day for a week, I think I just missed one day. I adopted her when she was four weeks old. Angel and I have bonded. She loves me. She is nearly a year and a half . Her birthday is January the 14th. I love her so very much. Cute rabbit. He is handsome. I am buying her a male companion in a couple weeks time. I am calling him Jefrin

He is so cute, and I cared for my rabbit the same way when i got my bunny, but i have some tips that you should be doing: get him a MUCH bigger hay rack, move the litter box, GET HIM WATER, give him a cup of leafy greens per 2 pounds, and a bigger hiding hole. Thanks!

Get a big play pen. I really recommend it and always let them have play time and let them out so they can explore! Also, I recommend watching Lennon the bunny! My sister has a bunny named Peanut and she has a huge pen with a water bowl and a food bowl. Always give them veggies daily and sometimes for a reward give them a treat! Make sure to not over feed the bunny and give it a good balanced diet. It should have access to food and water at all times. The bunny should also have some toys and a litter box that isn’t too small. Never use a crate it is not good

Bunnies are amazing and a big commitment after you get them you need to give them your all

*OMG HE IS SO ADORABLE I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE HIM* 😍

Note: the hay should be filled up to the top but that much is also really good!

I don’t mean to sound bossy but his litter box need more hay, other than that Lumos is so cute! I love him!

So adorable!

Wow Lumos is such a beautiful bun!!! His coat is gorgeous and he’s so adorable!!! I really hope my parents will let me get a bun! 💖

Best of luck with your new buns!!!!! ❤️🐇🐰

He looks like my bun bun Peter but with much darker brown spots! So cute, rabbits make amazing pets especially when you gain their trust! My bun loves to cuddle and spend time with me.✨🐰✨

Omg he is too precious

Aw you’re taking such good care of him

He’s so precious🖤🖤🖤

I watch lennon the bunny, too. I want to get 2 bunnies in a few months and want to let them live free in my flat. Animals in generell don't belong in cages and i like it when people take really good care for their pets. Parrot post (she first used to have 3 cockatiels) and now she also has 3 bunnies, so it's a full house 😄, is really worth watching it. Or Alex the honking bird, or pipkin the rabbit, so many people now really show on youtube how to take good care of animals, and that they are not fun toys like lots of other youtube videos show. Hope the message of those youtubers will spread around the world and make a change for so many pets that are sadly more like toys for them, than that they are livings.

Your bunny is so freaking cute and I’m so happy for u!!

Omg his head is like cookies and cream lol 😂

Aww He's sooo cute!!! 🐇❤🐇❤🐇

I'd love to see an update on things you've learned after owning a bun over the years!! 💖

I'M IN LOVE OH MY GOODNESS

Super cute bunny and love the name idea!! 💕.

If he’s young and still need to be litter trained then it’s good you have a smaller cage so that he doesn’t pee everywhere because he doesn’t have the choice to pee in a big place. That what my family is doing rn for our 2 month old. We had a huge cage for it first (fits a German Shepard) but it wasn’t working out as she was peeing everywhere and pooping and spilling water. Now with the smaller cage she actually goes in litter box. Of course when she’s a lot bigger (probably a year old) we will transfer her back to the big cage.

Cute rabbits ♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️

Okay so some tips Firstly I recommend that you get a bigger hay rack since a bunny’s diet has 80% hay, and you want your bun to be able to get hay whenever he wants and to not struggle while doing so Even though that is not a cage, you should really consider free-roaming your bun, it will not cost much since you probably already have most of the bunny-proofing supplies. Free roaming your bunny is a very good idea, you will not believe how much better your relationship with Lumos will become including his personality. Also since he is kept by himself, you have to become like roommates with him, you have to become the other bunny and you can’t do that with just playtime.

Just for a chart they should have 80% hay 15% greens and 5% treats or pellets

I am so glad she Rescued

Parents: bunny your adopted Bunny: impossible I'm not adopted you liar

So adorable

Spinach is okay from time to time, but since it's high in oxalic acid, it should be rotated with greens that are low in oxalic acid (like kale, leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, cilantro, oak lettuce) there's tons of lists online that talk about which greens are high in oxalic acid and which are low in it. RabbitHouseSociety is a great source.

That is a VERY small enclosure! I recommend free range and if you are unable to do that just extend his enclosure and let him out whenever you can ;)))))))

HES SO CUTE OMG

I named my owl doll from universal studios lumos because it's the light of my life

So cute💕💖

Some bunny community advice... the hay rack you should probably switch out with a hay rack off of small pets select.. and as well as making pace larger even if you are planning on free roam..also what the “Lennon the bunny “ it’s a lovely rabbit care channel with so much advice!

The fact she gave her address away 😂😂

He’s so adorable

Hello, Lumos!🐇

OMG THAT BUNNY IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!

I’ve had a total of three bunnies, and the one I have right now is named Spot. I got him when I was very little so he’s pretty old, but he’s still a cute fluff ball :3

Awwww:) So cute!

oh and that's not enough hay i thought u watched lemon the bunny and she gives ALOOTTT of hayyyy!!!

Ye i watched all of lennons channel and 101 some videos. Its great info

Subscribed!!! This was such a great video and plz plz plz do more Lumos Vids!!

So happy to see someone with good knowledge about rabbits before they get them. The cage could be a little bigger but I'm sure he will get plenty of time out the cage

I have 2 rabbits and when you get them you should put them in a pen! They also can’t have any type of vegetable until 8 months old because it can hurt there tummy! Bunnies should have free room after a week or 2 in the play pen. Hope this helps

I got a bunny last year and I love him so MUCH! *He's in a lot of my videos!*

Also your cage is fine! As long as you spend a good enough time in the day with him out of it (like 2-3 hours) outside or inside the house roaming

"HE IS SOOOOOO PRECIOUS" DUDE WEE GET IT

Instead of a cage you should get a play pen or let him free range in a room I have a bunny and I learned all of the stuff from Lennon the bunny is a channel all about bunny’s and it helped me alot

Omg beautiful bunny. Bunny's are so special. Mine has seizures but he is larger than life despite his illness new bunny friend love Binky bunny

I would recommend getting another rabbit.They should always be in pairs bar the exception of illness,aggression or old age.They are group animals and should always have a companion

Hey I have been looking at a rabbit from Gainesville rabbit rescue!!!

Yea make sure your bunny is free and happy

I have 2 bunnies and one name is luminous and lilac these names are quite different but i love them

i suggest that you get a bigger cage, a different hay rack (large hay bag) if you can't get a bigger cage i think you should start free roaming. spinich is not the best for rabbits, i suggest romaine lettouce and kale. thats the best opions! :)

adorable

What a cute little bun

omg!! as sooon as i saw the first like 5 seconds of this video i sub'd xxxxxx

Spinach isn’t the greatest for them, don’t feed him too much! I suggest buying a box of spring mix, usually lasts about 1 week for my rabbit. :) they need a large pile of fresh greens daily! Romaine is also a fantastic source of veggies

You're a great rabbit caretaker!

Cute bunny btw.

so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try maybe a dog exercise pen you can find them on amazon for around 35 pound and theyre a great size and can be turned into any size and give a rabbit more room

So cute I just recomend filling up the hay to the rim in the litter box and make the cage bigger he needs to have place to run around and binkie and also make the hiding house bigger cause he is a big breed of bunny and he needs more space in it

Cutie 🥰.

I LOVE BUNNIES!

Let him free roam around ur house!!!!!! #bunnyfreeroam ! Also watch Lennon the bunny

Hope that cage is kept open so he feels free to hop about :) he's a gorgeous little man

Hes so cute! I believe he is a Lop mix. he has the helicopter-ish ears when he walks and the somewhat compact body shape, as well as the much rounder head shape (Edit) I see that you have a hay rack , hay racks can be very frustrating to rabbits as it is hard for them to get the hay out, especially with his head shape. They are very much more comfortable with their hay being in their litter box because rabbits (obviously) tend to eat while pooping.He also needs much more hay in his litter box as well. Rabbits should eat at least their body size in hay every day, I recommend smallpetselect.com for large quantities of good priced, quality hay. (as well as natural toys and chews to keep him entertained and stimulate his brain) I wish you the best of luck with your new, adorable bunny!

"i have been wanting a pet like not-a-fish" hahahaha

Like the hay in the bin, the hay rack holder is okay as long as he has enough hay in his box ❤️

One recommendation is a play pen

So I think your set up is good. And I am not trying to turn this into a hate comment. But here is a tip. I think your set up is great, and I know you have him hop around your room. But I would have a bigger hay rack (I used to have that hay rack) because its hard for the rabbits to pick the hay out.

You got very lucky, not all rabbits adapt to their new mom very well, he seems very socialized :)

Congrats! I'm thinking about getting a bunnie soon too

Thank you was hard to get over it but I know he’s in a better place😔💕🙏🏼

I dont recommend feeding your rabbit spinach its not the best for them

“I’ve always wanted a pet- that’s not a fish- for so long” when I tell you I felt this. After 15 years of living still no hope 😔 I’m trying to get a summer job just so I can get one

You should get a play pen instead of a cage because bunnies need more space but once he’s litter box trained u should probably free roam him around the house so that he could run around but make sure to bunny proof ur house first
