What i loved about my Rabbit, was how simple his love was. He didn't need you to pet him all the time like a dog, nor was he as needy as a cat who wanted food etc. He was happy by me simply being in the same room as him :) When i was studying he'd run around me a couple of times, run around in the room, eat, drink and then just fall asleep right next to my feet. :)
When I was studying for my stockbroker's licence he would periodically try to "read" my books and apparently couldn't figure out why I was staring at them so much. He'd always give me that "why?" look after doing that.
They sure do act like dogs. Remember when my bunny was still alive, sometimes during weekends when I would sleep longer , he would run up to the second floor of my house where I was sleeping, jump on my bed and wake me up.
I love how the buns know they've done something their owners won't like by immediately running away with a binky! I don't have a garden at the moment, I can't wait until I do so my buns can experience snow!!
I loved your video, you captured perfectly life with those precious babies. I just lost my sweet "Robert" last month, (he was 9) and looked EXACTLY! like Thumper! RABBITS RULE !!
Need to point out that although, rabbits are not "rodents", they share characteristics of rodents, in that they are gnawing animals. They love to chew on just about anything. We give ours newspaper, which they will happy spend hours tearing into little strips. If you keep a rabbit indoors, you have to be extremely careful on the placement of all your electrical wiring. They LOVE to chew on wires.
Rory Gallagherfan They are from a group called lagomorphs. Separate from Rodentia and Cavis altogether. There's not many animals that come under lagomorphs then rabbits, which makes them kind of special.
Seeing Thumper so happy and free makes me sad, my cousins had a bunny for a while but they kept him caged all the time and he never learned to trust them. He was stiff and tense 100% of the time. Bunnies always look so much happier when they're comfortable and free to roam!
Great video! Good job. I love rabbits soooo much. I work away a lot so I can't have my own pets so I enjoy watching UA-cam videos of people's pet rabbits so keep 'em coming. Thanks!
***** like I said before, they will still poop out of the litter box even if it's still in their cage. no bunny will poop in the litter box all the time.
Nice job on your video! Rabbits make great pets. We keep them on our homestead and the one awesome thing about rabbits you missed is what their droppings can do for your garden :). Keep up the good work and give Thumper a small piece carrot.
Your video makes me happy and i watched it over and over again because there's a lot of joy and love between your family and those rabbits (esp.Thumper). I really can tell all of your pets are happy, it's really joyful to see how happy THumper is when he is doing his binky.. I always have rabbit as a pet since im young, and my last rabbit recently died after 6 years. Now we have 2 Jersey Wooly and 2 Netherland, They are my source of happiness :) And yes, rabbit has personality!
i started with 2 ended up with 9 we had like 32 at one point i think but we gave them away. we kept the original litter because my husband named them. they're amazing. every single one of them. i love your bunny. thanks for sharing!
Good job on the video. I love my rabbits. They have always lived indoors, but I prefer they go back to their home (cage) when I'm not supervising them. I've had a variety of breeds, both male and female,and there is something special and different about them all.
We had a few rabbits that had free run of the house, and when it was nice out, we let them outside for almost all day with no one watching them at all. We have about an acre sized yard, and they mostly stayed in the yard. They might hide in a neighbors' bushes or wander a bit farther sometimes, but they knew not to cross the road, and they came inside when we needed them to. One of the rabbits lived outside all the time. She was only put in a cage or kept indoors in the rain or winter. And if you think that sounds cruel or careless, that rabbit was very smart and tough as nails. If something threatened her, she would growl and bite and fight. She didn't just live outdoors, she preferred and _thrived_ outdoors. But she was very affectionate and when you went outside, she would run from across the whole yard to sit in your lap. She later passed away from a brain tumor, though, not the outdoors.
+ZachTheCommie I hear a lot of stories like this that end in disasters. Almost everything out there wants to kill rabbits. I wish I had an outdoor space to take our does out in to play - but given all the dogs that get loose in this neighborhood and the way a dog will fixate on a rabbit (I've seen dogs stare until they start drooling) ours are almost exclusively indoors. They have the run of the house tho and have a lot of fun.
We just lost our house bunny "Robert" at 9 years old. He looked exactly like Thumper. It's so true they can be quite naughty but every thing they do is so darn adorable !
I had a bunny for nearly 12 years. She loved roaming around the house...mostly in my room. didn't even have to train her to use the litter box. Defo a pet worth recommending! (as long as you are not allergic)
he doesn't half look like his dad Co graduations and on a superb video which always cheers me right up and I now have two more bu nines missed em soo much
Brings back a lot of nice memories. We had inside rabbits for five years and yard bunnies for four. Love seeing what we called their "Boings!" again. We had Hazel, Scooter, Gandalf, Raspberry, Blackberry and Blueberry at various times. Scooter loved to be chased around the apartment when we got home. The routine was that we'd open the front door and she would run down the hall to where the bathroom door was, align herself to run in there behind the toilet, but stare tensely back at us. We would take a couple of very stealthy predator step, then lunge while we were still 15 feet away. Like a bullet she would be in the bathroom. One day went per routine until she jumped into the bathroom, WHOMP into the closed door. Poor Bunny.
My newzealand white is about 5 months old and is completely potty trained..he is so playful and really binky..he eats with my hand and sleeps on my bed and sometimes near our feet..
I've had a bunch of pet bunnies over the years and they're just hysterical to have around. They make me laugh all the time. They're easy to keep as a pet too, just like a cat. U just gotta keep the flea & tick meds on them once a month and make sure u brush out their coat if u have a long haired bunny. Other than that and a once a year vet check .. and keep their ears clean,,,they're easy n fun. When they jump sideways like that, that means you have one very happy bunny
aww love the relationship you have with your bunny. i have 4 as house rabbits i dont know what id do without i love the so much. its very true bunnys can be so naughty haha
OMG you really have a devil bunny on your hands! I love how into that balloon that big one is. Looks just like our Dandelion. :) I wish we had a great outdoor space for our does to play in, we have a small run but they can't really get a full run on.
I've had mine for 13 years. They have alot of pro's, a few cons too... Unfortunately. Biggest one is the chewing. Otherwise great pets and mine is just a total sweetheart.
He reminds me of Pepe. Naughtyness, the cuddles, the greedyness, and oh mi goodness, if someone came over, he behaved like a buncheeti who never got any attention, it was so embarassing when this girl pointed out "you should spend more time with your bunny, he is so loveable" i gave Pepe such a stink eye, no other bunny got as much love as him!!!! Its a never ending well of "love me now...." he never got enough and neither could I :)
I loved your video we have had bunnies for a number of years we are on Bunny number 3 bunny number 2 passed in August 17 2015 month shy of her 9th Birthday and then at the end of September we got our current bunny named Honey-Bunn and they are such great pets I am so in love with bunnies plus other animals like my 2 rats that we also have
I miss having bunnies! I wish I could have given them better living environments. We never set up a fenced area in the backyard for them to hop around in. And even though I let my buns hop around freely about the house, they ultimately had to stay in a cage.
Wonderful beautifuls adorable pets rabbit !i have two bunnies and utilize little door for small animal for play in the garden with che dog!inteligents pets rabbit ,my lovely preferied pets
love the bunny 500...is thumper a flemish mix...we have a few of our own...they are awsome pets as long as you know what you are getting into....lot of work but so worth it..love the big ears and their devilish side to...rabbits rule the cute world.....
Bunnies can be potty trained my bunny is potty trained and he goes to his litter box himself and you don't have to take him to the litter box. no mess !
Great video, Nicholas. It shows that your whole family adore Thumper. A lot of time must have been spent making this video - I love it. Thank you.. I have 2 rabbits. One of them looks like Thumper. :)
Hi Nicholas, thanks for the enjoyable video. I need to get a potty to train my new rabbit to use. Yours seems to fit your large rabbit ok. What brand is it and where did you get it from? (I had a look online and can't seem to find one similar - only similar looking ones that are smaller, for small breeds of rabbits). Thanks Steve
he is cuty...i also had an adorable rabbit but yesterday that we were returning from our vacasions he died in my arms...ten minutes before we get to the vet!!! now i got a new little bunny but i still missing my only love...Milo/!!!
I had a bunny that looked just like this one. She lived to be 12 years. You wouldn't think they live so long. Also, I can tell by how you look that you're from Utah...
My bunny is almost like yours! He always tries to get my chocolate, he hates his cage, but is potty trained. The funniest thing about him is that he has the fur pattern of a panda. He got black spots on his eyes.
You know that story of a kid who went to school and shared candy with its teacher and classmates. After a while the kids Mum told his Son it wasn't candy it was Bunny droppings.
Nice video. You got some really great footage. They are so cute. I have two females. One is a lop and the other is a rex. I got the rex, Daisy to keep Buttercup company, but they fight every time I try to do a meeting for them. So i let them out of their cages separately. Only put them in there when i am at work or gone for a few hours, otherwise they run free. Both are litter box trained. Bunnies are very smart. Every morning Buttercup jumps on my bed and wakes me up. She then stays at least twenty minutes and lets me pet her. If I stop, she moves even closer and then will start digging either on me or the blankets. Kind of like a "hey why did you stop, i want to be petted still." If anyone has any advice on how I can get these two to be friends, it would be so appreciated. Thanks for sharing such a cute clip.
rabbits need to be spayed or neutered before introductions, because hormones will cause htem to fight. rabbits who are left intact also have an 80% of developing reproductive cancer which is a very sad and painful way to die. so it's very important in all aspects to have the desexed. here's an article about bonding www.ohiohouserabbitrescue.org/bondingbunnies/
Arya Tanaka Thank you for answering, and for the link. I will check it out. The newest bunny, Daisy is already spayed. She is almost a year old now. She was a shelter bunny. Buttercup is not. She turned a year old in December of 2015
i have 2 cute sister bunnies and if i let them have free range of the house which is what i really want for them, they chew everything in site including the carpet. i give them plenty of chew toys,but that's not good enough for them. how do you get them not to chew on your carpets,cords furniture?
Omg love it :0) I saw him playing with the balloon and it reminded me of my Buster bunny(2000-2006)he used to do that too,trying to taslk hubby into getting another bigger bunny and house train it, ide like a Flemish giant :0)
Wish you could have talked lil bit about the evilness^^ The last bunny i had, had the habit to bite when it didn't want any contact or generally had enough. Not hard, just sorta play bite where i didn't even have any teethmarks on my skin. The scariest thing was, when i was petting the head and i noticed he was slowing racing his head, then i knew he had enough and was ready to shooo me away. Oh and all the bunnies before made me an expert on cable repairs... left my headphones on the bed, now i got two, three, four pieces of it :D
anyone have any tips on how to pick up a rabbit that doesn't like it when you touch her sides? she turns her head as though she is going to bite every time I make a motion to pick her up. I wanna bring her outside but when it's time to come back in she won't let me pick her up
I used to have to scruff my rabbit, because that's just what it came too. Maybe try throwing a towel over her and then quickly grab her. Her eyes will be covered so it will be less stressful. But always handle her with care, she is just like a baby. Very fragile
PLEASE DO NOT SCRUFF YOUR RABBIT, their backs are EXTREMELY fragile one kick would paralyze your rabbit. coax your rabbit towards you with treats and pick her up with both hands. her aggression about nipping and threatening to bite could be hormonal if shes not spayed, they also have a 80% of developing reproductive cancer by age 4 if not spayed/neutered so it's important and will help their behavior usually. if all else fails, put her in a pet crate (put food/treat inside to get her in) to bring her from room to room.
+Slothlax Aww that's so sad! I could never handle any of my pets living outdoors, I've only ever had inside pets and I would feel so far away from them, ha ha!
+Slothlax I'm very sorry. I had a rabbit dumped on me by an alcoholic, abusive "friend," and learned a lot about rabbits in a short time. The most important thing I learned was that rabbits are miserable by themselves. If your bunny is alone outside in a hutch, he or she is probably going mad. Rabbits are prey animals, and being alone for them means extreme stress. The rabbit who got dumped on me IMMEDIATELY made friends with all of my cats and acts more like a dog than anything else -- can you imagine leaving a dog outside, all alone, all the time? I had to get another rabbit for the first one dumped on me because she is so needy and affectionate that being a house rabbit with three cat friends still wasn't enough love for her. Can you afford to go to the local rabbit rescue and do a little speed-dating and get your rabbit a friend? They can also cut you a deal on getting your bunny neutered, so you don't end up with a thousand more rabbits. I hope you respond, because it makes me so sad to imagine your bunny all alone outside! I'd love to help your bunny have a better life, and I'm sure you don't want it to be sad.
I live in Doha,Qatar.Connsiderin getting a bunny.Temperature goes upto 48 degree C in summers and does not cool down in evenings.House is all air conditioned but no one really goes out to face the elements.I dont have a lawn or open space attached to the flat.Not a great idea to keep a pet bunny eh?
What i loved about my Rabbit, was how simple his love was. He didn't need you to pet him all the time like a dog, nor was he as needy as a cat who wanted food etc. He was happy by me simply being in the same room as him :) When i was studying he'd run around me a couple of times, run around in the room, eat, drink and then just fall asleep right next to my feet. :)
my cat liked to be around me even tho i'm not the one that feed him. now its an end for me because i'm being rude with him
When I was studying for my stockbroker's licence he would periodically try to "read" my books and apparently couldn't figure out why I was staring at them so much. He'd always give me that "why?" look after doing that.
Well said and accurate, a great relationship.

They are absolutely cute and gorgeous!
Propably the coolest pet, better then cat for sure.
When he carries around the balloon. OMG. I just can't.
Quels beaux, dynamiques et sympathiques lapins, dans une famille aimante et qui prend bien soins d'eux. Merci pour la vidéo 👍😃.
in this vid it said non potty trainable but they can easily be litter trained
They will never fully be trained. they will still poop out of place sometimes.
***** like I said before, they will still poop out of the litter box even if it's still in their cage. no bunny will poop in the litter box all the time.
+KawaiiCrazy all rabbit breeds and temperments are different.
+Brooke Hamsters if they are trained really good they won't poop out of the cage
Geared up Activities there will still be accidents here and there. no bunny is perfect, especially if you feed them outside of the cage.
Nice job on your video! Rabbits make great pets. We keep them on our homestead and the one awesome thing about rabbits you missed is what their droppings can do for your garden :). Keep up the good work and give Thumper a small piece carrot.
So lovely to watch such a nice family with animals, gorgeous child and 2x parents & who all seem so happy & content.

Super fun video thanks for uploading- bunnies are the best!

A bunny as a house pet is just AUSOME - FANTASTIC - FUN - COMICAL. Every day is different FUN day!!!!! XXX

+Leanne Stone oh its myself LOL
Easy on the doobage, your tripping there.
Can I be your pet rabbit? I'm a cuddly companion!! 🐇
I had a bunny for nearly 12 years. She loved roaming around the house...mostly in my room. didn't even have to train her to use the litter box. Defo a pet worth recommending! (as long as you are not allergic)
😍😍the holland lop bunnies r so cute!!!

I got a wild rabbit from my cousin.

😂😂😂
Lol adopt one or buy one
Oh my god 😂
I totally laughed at this
Nebby Lmaooo 😂😂
I love bunnies. I think they're the cutest animals on the planet
my bunny trained himself to use a litter box!
My rabbit only poops or pees in one corner of her cage, unless she's not near her cage.
All those binkies! Soooooo cute! xx

Great video, Nicholas. It shows that your whole family adore Thumper. A lot of time must have been spent making this video - I love it. Thank you.. I have 2 rabbits. One of them looks like Thumper. :)
Can't help thinking they need to be outdoors, and where I live having a rabbit on the grass outside would get the whole neighbourhood talking.
AWWWW he/she is so cute! ❤️
Love it!!
awww I bet its a cute life having a pet bunny! :D so cute!
Hi Nicholas, thanks for the enjoyable video.

That's good! They're probably fighting because the other girl is hormonal then. Best wishes to your buns.
My bunny is just like thumper while doing binkies. Except doing them 24/7 😂
have you ever eaten one of those? i heard they taste fantastic.
i have 2 cute sister bunnies and if i let them have free range of the house which is what i really want for them, they chew everything in site including the carpet. i give them plenty of chew toys,but that's not good enough for them. how do you get them not to chew on your carpets,cords furniture?
I have house rabbit too, I love him so much
loved this video!
Seems like a great home for a bunny :)
Omg love it :0) I saw him playing with the balloon and it reminded me of my Buster bunny(2000-2006)he used to do that too,trying to taslk hubby into getting another bigger bunny and house train it, ide like a Flemish giant :0)

Oh and all the bunnies before made me an expert on cable repairs... left my headphones on the bed, now i got two, three, four pieces of it :D
Hahaha this is true having four pieces of headphones in like wow look at that "great job" 😂
FinalplayerRyu I can feel your sadness in :D
All animals play bite. All animals reach a limit and want to be left alone. Cats especially. That's no big deal...
anyone have any tips on how to pick up a rabbit that doesn't like it when you touch her sides? she turns her head as though she is going to bite every time I make a motion to pick her up. I wanna bring her outside but when it's time to come back in she won't let me pick her up
I used to have to scruff my rabbit, because that's just what it came too. Maybe try throwing a towel over her and then quickly grab her. Her eyes will be covered so it will be less stressful. But always handle her with care, she is just like a baby. Very fragile
PLEASE DO NOT SCRUFF YOUR RABBIT, their backs are EXTREMELY fragile one kick would paralyze your rabbit. coax your rabbit towards you with treats and pick her up with both hands. her aggression about nipping and threatening to bite could be hormonal if shes not spayed, they also have a 80% of developing reproductive cancer by age 4 if not spayed/neutered so it's important and will help their behavior usually. if all else fails, put her in a pet crate (put food/treat inside to get her in) to bring her from room to room.
This is perfect. Very accurate!
At least I'm not allergic to bunny-vids :,(
Hali St. Louis THIS COMMENT. I literally bought a bunny rabbit for Christmas and it turns out, I'm allergic! Now they're an outside bunny.
+Slothlax man, that sucks... I feel bad for you.
+Slothlax Aww that's so sad! I could never handle any of my pets living outdoors, I've only ever had inside pets and I would feel so far away from them, ha ha!
+Slothlax aww that sinks! I'm getting my first rabbit tomorrow don't think I am alergic because I hold them at pet stores and at camps I'm lucky lol
+Slothlax I'm very sorry. I had a rabbit dumped on me by an alcoholic, abusive "friend," and learned a lot about rabbits in a short time. The most important thing I learned was that rabbits are miserable by themselves. If your bunny is alone outside in a hutch, he or she is probably going mad. Rabbits are prey animals, and being alone for them means extreme stress. The rabbit who got dumped on me IMMEDIATELY made friends with all of my cats and acts more like a dog than anything else -- can you imagine leaving a dog outside, all alone, all the time? I had to get another rabbit for the first one dumped on me because she is so needy and affectionate that being a house rabbit with three cat friends still wasn't enough love for her. Can you afford to go to the local rabbit rescue and do a little speed-dating and get your rabbit a friend? They can also cut you a deal on getting your bunny neutered, so you don't end up with a thousand more rabbits. I hope you respond, because it makes me so sad to imagine your bunny all alone outside! I'd love to help your bunny have a better life, and I'm sure you don't want it to be sad.
can you elaborate on the "sometimes they experience great sadness" it looked like you assist feeding it with a cone around its neck....
