WHAT TO FEED A RABBIT - Rabbit Diet 

Same

O my gosh my family does that to me too! It's so annoying 😒 you know if someone was like that with a dog or cat nobody would say anything.... That goes to show you people treat rabbits like chop liver...☹️

@@Kopiii123 honestly if anything I’d be more concerned about my bunnies food intake than my dogs or cats bc it’s a lot more dangerous for bunnies if they are not fed the appropriate diet. Sometimes with my dog we’d give him treats and human food off our plates but bc of GI statis it is very important that rabbits are fed exactly what their bodies need no more or else so good for you.

@@kelseymccollam5148 hopefully one day rabbits will be more popular as in taken care of properly

Same they just don’t understand .my mom had rabbits growing up I asked her a simple question every bunny owner should know I said “what’s the one thing a rabbit can not eat” she said hay😬

WOAH where do you live?

Woooowwwww

GURL WHERE DO U LIVE

:0 lucky lol

bro the pet store close to me sells rabbits in small cages :(

Lol right? So many people say things like “I feed my rabbits _____ because it’s easier than giving veggies.” Like what? Don’t have rabbits then. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

For me, I give orchard grass hay (and occasionally mix it with oat hay) and pellets because my bun hates veggies😓 This has already been discussed with my rabbit savvy vet and she said it was fine.

They're actually working on a vaccine to help with pet allergies. It might not be for everyone but it's a great idea. The first week I had my rabbit I thought I was gonna die from the the hay and the "new pet" allergies I always get when I adopt a new animal. That and I'd rescued a new cat. A week or 2 later I was fine. Weird but that's how it always goes for me. I'll happily tolerate it though. Love wins out!

There's also medications to help cope with pet allergies, mind you.

@@thecartercrew3725 I am LIVING for that day!!! I have a "hypo-allergenic" dog who I am still allergic to, and would be so overjoyed to also get a cat

Imaan I Try putting the bowl in a corner, my bunny does the same thing but not when it’s in a corner😊

Lol

Same here😶

Mine does that every morning😂

haha

Tator Kator they don’t n Ed alfalfa it’s just recommended

@@nevaehvlogs5899 it's highly recommended. Alfalfa when they are young allows them to build strong bones and joints when they are young. It also helps prevent arthritis when they are older. Alfalfa has more protein and calcium and actually has less sugar than Timothy or orchard. It's why I can feed it to my horse who has equine metabolic syndrome. She has to eat soaked hay but I can give her alfalfa without soaking it. Sugar can cause her to have a laminitus flare up.

Yeah they do need it

alphalpha hay is bad for rabbits

Its called alfalfa and they do need it

Dear bunnys should not have seeds because they are not save for bunny or rabbits

Haley has a video “What not to feed rabbits” that talks more in depth about seeds and grains etc.

@@itsqurat316 auctually they can have pumpkin seeds but yea almost all seeds are unsafe

😂 Im getting a rabbit soon (maybe today) and Im super excited!! My dad doesnt know alot about rabbits and gets very mad when I try explain that we cant one of the products from the pet shop because its not suitable but Im trying really hard to not give my rabbit a bad life 😄

@@bronwynwhelan4468 it’s a bit harder and easier than it seems

@@bronwynwhelan4468 do you have an update?

Look I can just imagine if that bunny could speak-

@@bronwynwhelan4468 did you end up getting a rabbit? Also how did you convince your parents, I also want to get a bunny but my parents are a bit on edge

@@101rabbits yeah I think mother nature needs to get back on her meds 🤣

@@101rabbits yikes and I thought it was bad in new Jersey at 40 degrees 😂😂

@101Rabbits healy, according to water dishes.. some people recommended using Apple cider vinegar in my rabbit diet!! It’s good or not?

101Rabbits how do you keep your rabbits warm?

I also hand-feed a small amount of pellets and it has been amazing for bonding with my bunnies. My male has always been friendly but my female was rescued from an animal shelter and originally came from a hoarding situation, so she was much more nervous and scared. Handing feeding pellets (since the bunnies LOVE them) has really helped her to become a lot more social and friendly) and helped us bond with her. I guess treats would work the same way, but you would need to cut them up into VERY TINY pieces to allow for the same "bonding time" I get from hand-feeding just 1/8 cup of pellets.

I love doing the scatter feeding for my bunny. Sometimes I'll put the food up high or under something so he's got to work a bit for it. I think I'd do well creating enrichment for zoo animals!

Hi guys ! I make bunny videos . Do check out if you can ❣️❣️

myhomeremedies Thats a wonderful idea! As long as the pellets are of good quality, they make for a very healthy “treat” without any sugar! My very experienced vet now recommends the new, timothy hay-based pellets from Sherwood for adult rabbits. Very few ingredients and very healthy. Bless you for rescuing a rabbit that came from a hoarding situation! She needs all the love and good care she can get, and she’s finally getting it from you! 😘😘😘

what are some good quality pellets

That’s the same thing most vets say about dog kibble, and we know it’s just not true. I strongly believe animals need a natural diet and that processed food are the easiest option for us, but not the best for them. That’s just my opinion, ok? I’m not a veterinarian and I’m sure you know what’s best for your own animals!

@@incanusolorin2607 It's honestly pretty case-by-case, imo. Like my cat had gross fur when she was on a raw diet, but now she's silky smooth with high quality (I use Orijen) kibble. I'm not sure why a more natural diet didn't agree with her, but it was the case for her. But I think it's important to also remember that domestic animals of any kind are not wild. What's "natural" for them by this point can be completely different than that of a wild species. In fact, that's usually the reason they live so much longer with us than in the wild. The most important thing is to do your research and find out what works for your specific animal.

Ikr 😍

Thank you! ❤️

My boy Thurberi is a huge foodie, too. XD His favorites are banana and raspberry! (As fresh treats, obviously.) I also give a big variety of veggies daily. I think it keeps it from being too boring when there's enough mixed in to have varying tastes and textures.

Yes, please! I really want one for my dog

I do that too😄

Same!

We have many apple trees and other fruits too 😀

Same here! One of my friends has bunnies and recently gave birth (on Easter Sunday actually) and one of the white ones is going to be mine(i named them tofu!) so im binging these videos!

Watch Lennon the bunny she is really nice and tells you whats best for your rabbit and a rabbit makeover series which is really cool

And Hay of course.

I'd love this too!

UNTREATED apple, pear and willow bark chew sticks are safe for rabbits. NEVER feed cedar, peach, apricot, rose, oak, olive, fig or citrus fruit branches as they are toxic to rabbits!

Hi! I know this comment was from 3 years ago, but I also have two 4 pound bunnies. Just curious where you get your hay from? Thank you if you see this!

please give your rabbits pellets , her care is great but her giving her rabbits no pellets is ridiculous with no science backed up.

@@PupNGaming well that was a really delayed reply! Of course we give her pellets and fresh veggies and fruit that are all on the approved list for rabbits by the House Rabbit Society. We also give fresh timothy hay and plenty of fresh water. ✌️

@@lovnbnhome oh alright

then why get a rabbit..

@@alyssarose6507 just because you have an allergy (that is not too bad) doesn't mean you can't get a pet but you just have be more controlling about it

@@alyssarose6507 I assume they wanted one.

cut the veggies completely, they're gausoues and not good for your rabbits, complete pellets have all the protein, and fiber that your rabbit neeeds

@@PupNGaming Only certain veggies are gaseous such as broccoli, spinach, etc. Leafy greens are the second most important aspect of a rabbit's diet. (After hay.) I'm not sure where you're getting your info about pellets but they are not nutritionally complete enough for a rabbit to live solely off of. Too many pellets will also make rabbits prone to obesity.

@@littlekitsune1 Actually, any greens, for instance, romaine lettuce has the exact same sugars as a medium strawberry, either way, in general veggies are already gaseous and should be avoided due to scientific research, ARBA Has 60+ plus years of scientific research done, if your following the house rabbit society's diet, which would be 5% pellets, 10% veggies, and 80% hay, that diet was CREATED by the house rabbit society with no scientific research done, and actually, their diet is the equivalent of a guinea pig's diet, which is completely different, and as I mentioned, complete pellets are as you think, complete, they're completely natural and cold pressed with giving the right nutritionally protein and fiber, in fact, veggies are the more common cause for GI statis and unfortunately death. Hay is even infact nutrionally void and actually does a poor job of trimming a rabbits teeth, unlike pellets. therefore hay isnt even needed. the biggest problem with pet rabbbit foods is the sugar content, usually, the 4th or 5th ingredient is cane molasses, the other problem is that the pellets are not complete, that leaves the diet imbalanced and risks for many health issues. which is the reason you think that pellets cause gi statis when really ITS the type of pellets. complete pellets wont cause gi statis. i HIGHLY recommend researching on world rabbit of science research, ARBA, researchgate, and other scientific resources for rabbit information instead of HRS and other google blogs.

@@PupNGaming Thanks but I've done a ton of research from reliable sources on pet rabbits. Frankly saying rabbits shouldn't eat greens is insane to me. Like they're herbavores, my dude.

Edit: I forgot to say I'm not doing research from general science because it's based on rabbits being kept for experiments and food. That's the only scenario where you'd want to feed a strict pellet diet. Kindly take your conspiracy theories elsewhere or bring in an actual rabbit vet to argue your case for you.

She does

If they were on pellet diet before I would recommend giving them a eighth or so of a leaf just to see if they like them also just give them hay like water
