Locked in a cage for 7 YEARS!? 

It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that as of June 14th, Echo (this rabbit in the video) is no longer here. After a vet visit, we discovered multiple health complications and then had an emergency happen when I got home with her. She had to be put down, but was surrounded by love in her final moments. This is the harsh reality of owner neglect and she could still be here today if the owners did what they were supposed to. I will be making a video on her diagnosis and last days soon ❤ RIP Echo

The fact that they couldn't be bothered to clean up at least before the rescue speaks volumes

For every person that disgusts me with how little they care for animals, I’m relieved there are people like you guys to make up for some of their mistakes.

This is HORRIFIC! People should take a class on every animal they want before they can have it! My heart breaks for animals that are abused by humans! Thank you for caring!!!

Poor rabbit, what a horrible existence! Makes me very angry! Thanks for rescuing this little darling 😢

I was 8 when my parents got me my dwarf bunny. He lived for 5 years and I had no idea that his nails needed to be trimmed. I kept his cage clean and his water fresh and I took him out often to play for a few hours. I just wish I had known MORE. My sweet Thumper.

They've had to have known she wasn't being taken care of. She's so cute and sweet she deserves everything!!!

I’d be hella aggressive defending my first new mansion too 😂 poor girlie she’s so cute

This is horrific, this poor beautiful animal. This is pure animal neglect. Imagine living in a prison cell in your own exstament, on a concrete floor with no bed for 7 years. Poor baby this breaks my heart how can you say this is proper care or to be totally oblivious to this animals suffered. No wonder she's blind. The emonia from the urine would be enough to make her blind thank God you both found her. Thank God presious angle this totally breaks my heart. I am truly disturbed by the lack of care here. I'm lost for words. Thsnk God you have given her another chance to live the rest of her days clean happy and safe. God bless you guys massive thank you to you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

I don’t think I have EVER seen such cruelty I cannot believe that the parents allowed this! I am bloody angry, upset and peed off, the food was completely dried up and the colour of the pellets had faded! I don’t normally write in the comments but this beautiful girl deserved better, she deserved a warm bed, food, hay, veggies and a bloody cage that gave her enough room to jump around! This is not just feeding her the wrong food this is horrendous I sat and cried when I saw her come running to you I know she is safe, warm, fed and loved thank you Austin for being a really great human being! ❤❤❤

Thank you for saving her and im sorry for your loss. love you Echo! also i rlly like ur into

This is so heartbreaking and terrible. I’m glad you saw this bunny and were able to take care of it. Honestly, I would love to have it, but I don’t really have the space and room or the money to for their care but poor little bunny. I hope they find a nice home one day 😢

you can really tell how much a rabbit changes when you spend more time with it, taking care of it, and having enough space for your rabbit! Thank you guys for saving this sweetheart. ❤

Aww what a sweet little lady🥺 she warmed up to you just in two days even though she's neglected for a long time in the past. I'm sure she'll have a good bunny life living with you from now on💕

Poor baby’s! You’re so nice for rescuing them.

So happy this girl found her way to you and Eva. I literally cried through most of the video. Watching her touch fleece for the first time had me bawling. She was so shocked she couldn’t really move. Can’t wait to see her come out of her shell even more!❤️❤️

She's so precious! Sweetest little face. I just do not understand how people can be so cruel. There's no way they could have thought that was the right way to house a rabbit - or ANY pet. I'm so happy that you two were able to save her!

It breaks my heart seeing how defeated that poor rabbit looked in that old cage and then seeing the signs of her exploring her new cage. Poor thing was all but forgotten for so long.

A lot of people think bunnies belong in cages like this and honestly think they’re not doing anything wrong :(

The way you care for these animals, you are like an angel. It’s so inspiring. I am rescuing my second reptile this year…. You have greatly inspired me to make beautiful comfortable homes for animals who need some extra TLC

So happy for her , so hope she have a good owner who is lovely with new life being 🐰 ❤

Thank you for rescuing such a sweetie!!!🍀🍀🍀

it’s truly disgusting what some people think is okay for these animals. thank you both for saving this sweet soul❤

Austin, I love what u do for all of your animals and I am 1000% sure that this rabbit is going live a wonderful life now. I litterally cried when I saw that cage. I am so happy Eva could help this poor rabbit.

It broke my heart ! I have three bunnies, i can't stand people who adopt and neglect them ! Thank you for rescuing her 🥰

I just wanna say Thankyou Austin for ALL you do I know it’s not easy just know you’re appreciated! 🙏💙

Thank you so much for rescuing this poor rabbit . I love watching your videos knowing that all of these animals are all safe in your hands 💞.

My rabbit is spoiled rotten she has complete access to my room a huge xpen that is always open and she has thousands of toys to play to 😊❤

She’s stunning 🤩 what a shame the owners didn’t take better care of her my rabbit max looks just like her so tiny and cute he’s only 2lbs as a Dwarf holland lop, he is my life I’m So glad this old girl feels love and happiness ❤❤❤ thank you 🙏

You gaveEcho an amazing life, even it was short. I bet she was grateful for the care you two gave her

I'm crying right now. Poor baby didn't deserve that. RIP Echo.

I feel so much emotional 😭 during this video. How could a girl not now that’s animal abuse even I knew that was animal abuse before I watched the vid

And my dad had a rabbit who turned almost freaking 15yo he was one of the oldest rabbits their vets have seen. I made mistakes with my first 2 hamsters and I will forever be sorry they died early because ℹ didn't knew better, but ℹ wasnt hurting them nor did they leave poorly or unloved. So its disgusting to see how a rabbit could survive in this nasty cold ugly cage. . I feel for him and all the pets that are mistreated. Thank you for saving her ❤❤❤❤

I own 2 holland lops and i am younger then 14. Margo is cream she has homeade toys/ bowls*food and water.*litter box,hay bag, and a hide cage. Gracie is blue she has homeade toys/ bowls.food and water* litter box,hay container/ and hide cage. They each get two diffrent kinds of food mixed togther and get carrots

This literally made me cry. I have a blind (and deaf) Holland Lop that looks just like her.I live in Georgia but I would totally adopt her if I could get her here!

You are so beautiful and everything you do is beautiful. Keep it up you are a angel sent for sure 🫶🏼

So cute youre doing a great job! hey there could be pesticides on those veggies watch out for that ;0

My rabbit currently can’t free roam until I get settled but her cage is onebof those 4 story custom cat condos, I daily clean her 2 litter pans 6 hay feeders a custom electronic filter waterfall water and a pellet dispenser also electronic she gets new toys and chews monthly. And 2 fresh salads a day and many vitamins. I genuinely just can’t imagine her in one of these…

WHOEVER DID THIS DESERVES WHATEVER BAD IS COMING THIER WAY!!!!!!💔😭🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤬THANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS BABY A NEW LIFE A LIFE SHE DESPERATELY DESERVES!!!!🥹🥲

Omg thank you both for saving this adorable rabbit! I’m glad she’s getting the care she deserves now! She seriously is making me want to get bunnies too (I have 6 guinea pigs already). I didn’t know they can live quite a bit longer than Guinea pigs on average.

Both of you are angels❤❤💞💞 be sure that God will reward your good deeds. Because I had 4 rabbits and I have really experienced it. They fully understand love❣️🐰❣️ Wishing you good health and increasing success🙏

Thank you so very much for saving this little darling !!!Greetings from Cyprus !!!

my bunny was in a similar condition before i got him. he was severely underweight, never ate hay before, never had greens or fruit, nails were so long they fell off, stuck in a dirty x pen barely opened with a small cage attached as a litter box that was so filthy it was black with pee and poop, and a massive chunk of dried up eye juice in his fur right under his eye with raw skin underneath. they were also allergic so he was never pet and he’s blind so he really needs touch. for 13 years he was in these conditions and it breaks my heart to think about it every time because he’s so sweet and cuddly. they really do change and thrive when they get the proper care and respect. i know he probably won’t be here for too much longer but he’s my little old baby. you guys saved her even if it was for a short time, you showed her love and care. that’s all that matters now🩷🎀

This breaks my heart 😢

tysm for doing everything to save this little bunny❤ Ur such a great person and she has a way better life now. Tysmmmmmmmmm😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

I recently got two rescue bunnies and one was just left at a creek and the other one was in a cage very similar to the one in the beginning of the video and it truly is so saddening to see how little people know and how they think the care they are giving them is okay and enough. I will never understand why people will buy animals they can’t give proper care to.

this might sound strange, and probs wont help. BUT, 1 of my bunnies [blaze] woukd refuse to eat practically anything i gave him, hed just stare blankly at it until he'd witness ME take the 1st bite😂 kinda felt like he was suspicious someone would slip poison intl his bell peppers or sum and i was makin sure hed be safe😅 idk but after watching me take a bite suddenly hed be interested in whatever it was🤷🏽‍♀️🫡

Hey Austin! 1.) its been awhile since you've uploaded and i just wanted to say we all hope everything's ok and you're just taking some well deserved time off! and 2.) Your hair at the moment looks so good on you!

I am in love with her 😢 I feel so bad

This is heartbreaking.

I’m only halfway through and I’ve had to take pause, I’m so emo. Thank fcuk you both got involved and were able to rescue this bun! Ok… about to press play & finish the video 🥺

Omg that bunny looks exactly like my baby Rexie! I couldn’t imagine treating an animal that way. That makes me so sad. RIP baby

My friend rescued a rabbit from her brothers roommate a couple years back. She had nowhere to keep him, so delivered him to me. He was in a 2×4 ft cage, which i was told is what he LIVED in full time for two years. The floor what nothing but shit and piss- inches of it. The food and water dishes were also full of shit. But thankfully his health remained, and he made a full recovery. His name is Benajmin, and he has a whole bedroom to himself with plenty of fresh veggies.

I’ve got a rabbit he had a sister but she died at the age of six my mom got it for me when I was 3 now my rabbit ‘bun bun’ is eight he is living in my garden and has been roaming the garden for years and is very healthy he also gets clean and healthy food every day live all rabbits should and he’s got clean water. He sunbathes every day in the garden and eats vegetables grass and rabbit food every day happy and healthily All rabbits deserve love and proper care

People when you get a pet any pet please educate yourself on the care for the animal PLEASE ❤

I had a rabbit, when it was gotten to my home it didn't eat so we did what we had to do, we sent it back where it was happy

it truly is heart breaking that Echo had passed away but it was incredibly heart warming to know in her last moments she finally had a good home and was surrounded by love. We need more people like you guys out here, its unbelievable how many people buy rabbits and think of them as easy pets without even doing basic research 💔💔

Thank you for been such a amazing human ❤❤❤❤

I want to hug her. Ugh. Baby I'm so sorry

as a 14yo girl who’s also going to get a bunny soon, i couldn’t even think about doing that to an animal, i don’t get how anyone could do that, tysmm for saving that poor little bun❤❤

Me crying my eyes out

(Thanks for the warning to all that need it❤😢) (Your amazing for helping the rabbit with Ava😊👍) ( what a beautiful girl I can’t believe the owners did not know the gender😔😕)

She had what they call 'cage aggression' which is common for rabbits who live in too small cages. This because they feel trapped and unable to get away if they wish so they feel always on edge. Having a proper sized playpen and building trust is how to help rabbits with cage aggression which is obviously what you did. I am so glad she can finally get a nice playpen, proper care and love from a human. Once again you guys did such an amazing job saving yet another bunny❤

Can bunny’s be in a large cage? They’re baby’s right now 1-2 months old planning to free roam them

My bunny looks just like her, he got stoped eating his hay and doesn’t want it even when it’s fresh what brand do you use we switched to meadow hay and now he got mites 😢❤

The fact that I’m also 14yrs old and have a proper cage and car for the 2 of my rabbits and this 14yr old is doing this like bro..

you should keep her she seems to be really nice and sweet with you and she might feel better with molly,and also you dont want to stress her out to much you know,bur it would be good for her and molly if she stayed with you!

This video makes me happy

These ppl should be charged with animal abuse

Jesus Christ as a bun bun owner my heart is crying and so am i 😭😭😭😭

Hey I have two female guinea pigs named Bean and Paisly and I was wondering if I could send you a picture of their cage so if I was doing anything wrong you could let me know.

female rabbits are very territorial. i got my first female rabbit about 4 years ago and just learned that they def are haha

7 years??? oh my god my heart breaks for that poor rabbit. HOW could anyone look at that and think that that is okay? how would they feel if they had to live in that with no escape? thank god you guys came across this poor baby 😢

I think she should stay with you forever. ❤❤

You can somewhat forgive people who had rabbits back in the 80s when people who kept rabbits didn't have internet, they relied on the dodgy parroting of pet stores on information for care, who sold the crappiest tiny cages and suggested they were fine (they were never fine and I'm fed up with arguing on it!) and minimal knowledge on their care in library books - but this, today?! OMG this made me cry so much! She seemed so stressed later in the video... But maybe rabbits are like people, when they realise they were living in a toxic space, in a toxic relationship, it takes a while to process and adapt - but it does get better :)

Poor baby! Abused for 7 years and then put to sleep after finally being free to live a normal life!! Her previous owners should be informed of her passing so they can know what their neglectful behavior caused her, and they should never be allowed to own a pet again 😠😡

When I tell you my jaw dropped.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

How about animal abuse charges against the owner

I would make it an emergency an appointment

This upsets me because that rabbit was probably a christmas or birthday pet. The parents did zero research on how to take care of a rabbit and probably didn't care if it died or not. Reminds me of my aunt who got a puppy for her daughter when she was younger for Christmas then that dog spent its whole life outside chained and my cousins would have almost screaming matches with each other on who had the burden of giving him food and water. That dog was so sweet and just wanted love. Unfortunately this was the early 2000s in a small rural town, not much could be done and it sadly froze to death outside in an ice storm one year. I think he was 15... He was fed/watered, he wasn't skinny, he had shelter but that was all he really had so even if it had been reported I doubt anything could have been done.

Who else the great did this? Bunny needed a better life “a life at the pig rom bunny 🐰 farm”🙂‍↕️👇🏻

Makes me sad knowing how hard it is to take care of rabbits and also after rescuing a rabbit running wild outside bc a family couldn’t take care of it and gave up and let it out thinking outside was safer for it 😢

I really hope the “owners” watch this and realize that they weren’t taking proper care of her

Does anybody know which pen he use and it’s name ?

I think its good that u rescued her but they should not have soo much pellets

I would've reported this as animal abuse too, this is unacceptable. His poor little nails

How are the piggies you rescued?

I can get this for like 5$ at Temu or SHEIN

R.I.P echo❤ I’m a 13 year old rabbit owner and I would never treat my rabbit like this. This is horrid and absolutely sick to treat a rabbit like that. Echo looks like my old rabbit I used to have X sadly he died due to a disease and we did all we could to try save him but knowing I couldn’t do much broke my heart. Sadly we didn’t realise untill it got really bad but we went to check my rabbit, the one I just talked about was my younger sisters rabbit, and now I’m talking about mine, So I had a rabbit, my own. Very first rabbit, I spent all my time looking at the internet, finding out a lot about rabbits. I saw the photo of him and he was the odd one out of the others as he had multiple pelt colours where as the others where just black and grey, the rabbit I was getting I named him pip after a therapy dog at school who really helped me called piper, Once I saw him in real life I held him and he was absolutely amazing I felt a connection with him as soon as I met him he was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Unfortunately once we found out bubbles (my sisters rabbit) got a disease we had to put bubbles down. R.I.P Bubbles And we decided to check pip out, he didn’t look like he had it AT ALL his eyes were a slight pink already from the white on his pelt/fur, I loved him so much. And I couldn’t let go. When we took him there they didn’t take a close up. They were so far away. He was running in the small box and looked so happy.., and they said he had it. I cried my heart out and held him in my arms. I didn’t let him go fir a while. I dashed out the door and stood outside crying, I fell to the floor and started to hyperventilate. After that I went on and off crying. Feeling depressed and now lonley. He passed in 2023 and it still feels like he’s with me. I got a new rabbit called flops (my PFP) and he’s still with us. He reminds me so much of pip it’s unreal. I cry everytime I think of him (balling my eyes out now), When I’m older and have my own house I want to do what you do, you give me so much inspiration and I can’t thank you enough for letting echo have love, attention and the best life he could ever want at the end. The people who treated her like that were absolutely horrible for not researching. The way these rabbits have passed is not technically our fault but I take all the blame on myself for it. The woman said she gave them the shots but never did. I’m absolutely sick at this woman. I want to go back to her place and argue so bad yet I can’t, I thank you so so much for what you do it’s amazing, you really are a kind man, I thank you again for your service. Sorry about this rant, and ty fir reading. This is technically a small vent yet also an awareness that you should keep an eye out and make sure that they have taken care of them and given their shots. Even a promise isn’t always the truth be careful where you get your rabbits from ❤ And to make this not a fully sad comment, here’s some funny moments of the brothers. So I forgot to mention 😅 There were 3 rabbits that came from the woman, they were all brothers and 1 is still with us today ❤ pebbles ❤ Funny moments: One time pebbles and pip jumped into their cage at the same time in same form and it was funny Cus they both looked at each other as if they were surprised 😂❤ Bubbles loved being held on his back like a baby and one time he jumped up onto me and nudged me and I eventually found out 😂❤ My bunny pip was so funny and so kind, he would lay next to me as if he was gaurding me whenever someone came in the room, he eventually got used to it and slept next to me unbothered by family coming in❤ I’m not too sure what else but thanks fir reading again and be sure to keep your pets safe ❤ Reading this back I’ve realised I probably shouldn’t have done this but if it’s too much idm deleting it from ur comment section ❤ -have a great day and be sure to have the most best day you can have. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I hate cruelty

Try some mint, my bun goes gaga for mint!

💓

There is no way they didnt know those living conditions were insanely inappropriate and abusive. If they seriously know nothing i understand the stereotype in rabbits is they live in a cage and have a water bottle. But anyone KNOWS there shouldnt be pee and poo everywhere. Even if you are incredibly niave to rabbit care. Also like idk i would have thought they would have put it together for the house showing AT LEAST. This is ridiculous and they should never be allowed to own an animal again. Disgusting

I hate how small animals are so easily cast aside and seen as disposable. When dogs or cats are neglected like this, at least they sometimes have the ability to make their suffering known through "problem behaviours" like barking, destroying property, eliminating around the house, or becoming aggressive. A rabbit or rodent? All they can do is silently waste away and die in a literal prison cell among their own excrement. No one will never know. And as evidenced by the realtor's reaction in this story, even when people see it, they don't even realize it's wrong because most people just assume small animal + tiny cage = normal I've have a certain exotic rodent species* for 20 years and once rehomed one from a similar situation. They are extremely social, yet just one was living by herself in a tiny, dirty tank with a small, dangerous wheel and unsuitable food. She was also a child's pet in my situation who I drove over an hour to get. She passed away not too long after I adopted her, but I'm so glad I was able to give her a comfortable, enriched end of life with friends. * I don't like to name the species because their diet and care is widely undermined by ignorance and misinformation leading to much disease and suffering. I think they should just be wild and don't want people unfamiliar with them to hear about them from me and end up buying them. I continue to adopt and rehome them because I have so much experience with them

It does not matter the circumstances you could be the richest person in the world but if you have a pet and do not know how to look after it, you do research - there are enough books on the subject of animal husbandry, also the internet. I’ve never had a rabbit, but I’ve had cats, dogs, horses none of them can thrive unless they are receiving the correct care and nutrition

Time to rename your channel the rabbit room 😂

You can give oats for weight gain,also she is probably to old now to spy ❤

This makes me SO angry for this poor innocent rabbit. Can the owner not be prosecuted for animal neglect??

These are the type of people who say pets are dirty and really smelly 😢
