Who takes care of your bunny? comment below!
my grandparents watch Snowy while I'm gone
Family or friends usually
My neighbors❤
I’m very very lucky that my parents can take care of my bun 24/7 and I don’t have to transport her anywhere. However, it does mean I can’t take vacations with my parents. So I hope to someday be able to take my bunny and my parents on a vacation together. I live in Alaska, and we don’t have any bunny boarding or advertised professional bunny sitters. But me being the overly cautious bun-parent I am, I have a very hard time trusting any strangers with taking care of my bun.
I loved watching this. I'm going to visit a friend for a few days. Fortunately, I can take Pebbles with me. My mom is staying with my cats. I think leaving some instructions for her will be really helpful. I hadn't thought of that. Pebbles is very good in the car. I'm also taking my special needs cat. He's not so good at travelling but we manage.
My wife and I camp a lot. Where we go, our bunny goes. It's fun hearing fellow campers ask" Is that a RABBIT?" Our bun loves camping with us and loves being outside. We do keep him in a portable fenced area like a small dog would be in. We did have a friend that had kennels and a small animal section for our bunny but it burned down. Now he just goes with us. We are retired, so we do travel. It does make it a challenge sometimes, but once your bunny gets used to traveling and camping, they do fine.
Same. Went camping last weekend and Zipper the fluff head rabbit went with. Our rabbit looks like an English Spot got lucky with a Lionhead. The person in charge of the camp ground said it was the first time a rabbit was camping there. And his grandkid thought he looked like Pikachu even though the colors aren’t the same.
My Rabbit loves camping too .
I like that, a cool bunny that must feel so much loved.
My rabbit loves camping. He even knows the word. We travel via E powered bicycle across MN allways hoping for them overcast days and we get em. Bunny rides custom coach in cool comfort for miles .stop for potty breaks just like a dog. Too fun to camp with a rabbit. Hey is that a rabbit ? All the time . Lol
We had a terrible bunny sitter experience (bunny lived, but I said, "Never again.")
Since then, I don't take vacations unless a family member can take care of the bunnies.
BTW, Lorelei, you are looking especially fetching in this video! Wherever you go, you'll instantly beautify the place!
The one that helped us to take care of bunnies when we were on vacation is an experienced lady that works in the local shelter. She has 10+ years of experience in rabbit boarding. She charges us CAD$44 per day for a pair of bunnies. She provided green mixed with few kinds of veggies everyday. She also allowed few hours of free roaming for them under supervision. I am glad to have her assistance while we’re away from home.❤
When I went away for a few weeks last year I had a couple friends share bunny-sponsibilities. I created a nice little short video called 'how to pick up a bun' in case they needed to take him to the vet. Of course I got my method from you, but I added a little instruction to beg for forgiveness at the end.
Also fun anecdote; My friend messaged so worried saying 'I think your bunny threw up! What should I do?' and I was thinking... "Can rabbits throw up? I don't think they can...." She sent me a photo. he has just peed out of his litterbox and it had stained the carpet in an almost vomitty color. Some things you just don't think to tell people.
Our rabbit rescue has been amazing! They helped us get our bunny fixed when we first rescued him. They taught us how to get the bun through gi stasis. They helped us find bunny sitters/bunny boarding and all of our experiences have been phenomenal.
Thank you for all you do for our rabbits😊❤️🐇🐰
I take care of my bunny always. I don't "vacation" but I have had to leave my home recently because of Hurricane Idalia. So I packed up my bunny, just like a member of the family. I put Cocoa in a carrier, grabbed everything needed for him and hopped in the car to drive to a relative's (empty) house. This is our yearly hurricane preparedness plan and it works. I don't think Cocoa is too happy in the car though! Lol😂 He likes being home! I agree with everything you said Lorelai! Your channel is excellent for reference and I have referred other bunny parents to you. 💜 to you and Lennon. Thank you!
Thank you for how much you care about rabbits and educating people who think bunnies belong in hutches outside
I had my best friend watch my bunnies over a 3 day weekend while I went on a road trip and had her feed them rescue remedy stress relief drops with some Cheerios every day and I think it helped a lot!
One time when I had my dad watch them tho he didn’t follow my instructions and fed them WAY too many carrots and WAY too many oats and I was mortified so yeah make sure whoever’s watching them has detailed instructions and knows they need to actually follow them 😅
My Rabbit always comes with me no matter where I go . He loves to travel
We feel very lucky. Our 2 rabbits go to a lovely lady who boards rabbits only, 'Happy Hoppers'. She has a fabulous set up. We get daily video up-dates on our bunnies whilst we are away. It's like they're on holiday too!
That sounds great! ❤️
I met a lady who volunteers at a rabbit rescue who boards rabbits at her home. She LOVES rabbits and I feel comfortable leaving my bun with her while on vacation. She gives my bun a 4x4 foot pen with a great set up and the best part, she only charges $10 a day.
I have a rescue bunny from a lab I would not leave her with anyone cause I love her to much no holidays for me. 😊
I love when lorelei posts ❤ just makes everyone day better and youll always leave with more bunny knowledge!
I went with a local vet hospital the first time I left my bunny. It was okay but I question how much attention she got. I’m going on a trip in December and I opted for hooking proper bunny boarding where all bunnies are vaccinated and supervised and have a large xpen. Veggies and hay included too with good reviews. I definitely feel better about it than the vet hospital.
Lenon looks so radiant as you! 💞🐰
I’ve usually had friends or family visit once or twice a day, and use the bunny camera to make sure the bunny is happy. My bunny is regularly alone for ten hours a day when I’m working so I know he does pretty well so long as he has food, water and climate control. I wish I could afford bunny boarding. My vet offers it but it’s like 50-100 bucks a day.
I love your channel you made me get a bunny and take care of her the right way
I appreciate you both for the extensive information and research. New to the family is our 13 week old Flemish Giant named Daytona. Rescued him from a meat farm, and With these videos I’m able to get him so excited and happy. Zoomies and Binkys everywhere. Well taken care of and look forward to seeing him become such a beautiful big boi
Congratulations on your new bunny! ❤
@@sashaconrad3939 thank you so much😌
I actually ended up becoming a bunny owner after I watched my friend's 3 Holland lop for 1.5 weeks. It really changed my perspective on rabbits, and I feel really educated now. I love bunnies now, and I really wouldn't be here today with my bun if it I didn't get to experience bunny sitting.
When this video comes out and ( I ) happen to be on vacation and had to leave my bunnies at home with my family members to take care of. Lol
I bought a cam so I can watch bunnie when I’m done too . Bunny cam .. 😂
This video is so helpful!
Lorelei, again, an excellent, informative video. I’ve found a ‘bunny hotel’ near me and visited beforehand to make sure it was what I was looking for.
I lost my rabbit a few months ago. When I had my rabbit I used to watch you channel all the time. I come here on this channel sometimes to check on you and Lennon. Love you guys❤❤❤❤ from Sophia😊❤
Someone abandoned 2 baby bunnies at local bus stop couple of days ago...dogs ate one bunny and another one is rescued by a girl ..and today I am going to adopt that baby 🥺❤
I love black rabbits with white on there nose. So pretty. I just got a black lionhead rabbit with a star on his forehead. So happy.
Thank you so much Lorelei! I’m getting my bunny today from my humane society. He is a Netherland dwarf rabbit and he is 10 weeks old. You have helped me so much. He will start in a x pen and then eventually free roamed. 😊
Thank you so much for this!!!
Thanks for sharing such a useful video! My family and I always learn a lot about rabbits from you 🥰
There is always someone at home with our bunny. If we really need to do some family activities together, we will try to go out during her nap time, or after her morning play time. We also have a pet camera to make sure she’s okay. I took an overseas trip last year and my hubby stayed with our bunny at first. Then, we asked one of our trusted friend to look after her for 2 weeks, so my hubby could join us for the trip 😊💕
Thank you for your amazing advice!! 🐰♥
Hi i have been watching your channel for 3 years ❤. And i love that lennon is such a well bhaved girl. I appreciate your hard work on this channel i also watch your videos every day😊.
Wow! Great info. We don't leave unless we travel with our 5 because buns are amazingly complicated for regular animal humans. Great business opportunity for bunny Caretakers that know buns in and out tho, thanks!
Love your vids ❤
Hey Lorelei. I love you channel. Honestly thanks so much for this video. I’ve been having trouble with diseases such as mites and skin infections with our new rabbit that we got as a partner for my bunny. I really hope you could make a video or suggest some ways to treat it and tips! Thanks so much either ways!
My bunny went camping with us over the weekend. Zipper had himself a blast.
My buns go with me! They have driven cross country 3 times. They went camping for 6 weeks. It's a lot of work while on the road, but I know they are safe And crazy, but they seem to love it. They are right in the center of everything curious what's going on at all times.
You let your bunnies drive? 😜
Imagining the officer's confusion when he pulls you over.
Wow this is so helpful thank you 😄
My bunny is so cute
Mine too 😍💜
I bring mine to a rescue that also boards. Sometimes I get my niece if she's not vacationing with us, or if it's not a SUPER long time (don't want to put her under too much pressure in case something happens)
I was thinking about leaving my bunny at home for 2 months, since i had to go cross country for my dad’s work, but i ended up bringing her and it was amazing!
We have a bunny hotel nearby. She owns two bunnies and have experience over 16 years. She has a very nice setup for many bunnies and takes good care of our bunny every time we travel.
super helpful tysm
Great video topic! We’ve been using Trusted Housesitters. There’s an annual membership fee, but it’s very inexpensive compared to paying for a sitter. Sitters get free lodging and sometimes use of our vehicle in exchange for free pet sitting. Everyone is background checked and ID verified and has a detailed profile. They tend to be retired people or people who can work remotely and want affordable travel options. We conduct video interviews till we find someone we think is perfect and have had 5 or 6 terrific sitters so far. They come a day early to get trained up and send photos and videos daily. It’s been a game changer for us!! 🐰❤
Permit me to offer you a compliment, Lorelei, you look amazing. Even though I don't own any rabbits, I still enjoy listening to your insights into them. Also like the playful shorts you've put up recently with Lenny. Next time you try to sneak out, prepare more bunny snacks!😂
I'm a rabbit dad to a lionhead rex female rabbit and when I leave my rabbits grandma who is my mom looks after her!❤
I love your video
I love Lennon the Bunny 🐰 🐇 😍 💕!
Thankful to have my ma, aka Grams, to bunny sit on longer stretches. They get treats and all sorts of grandma attention when they are there.
All 4 of them!!
🤣🥰🐰🐰🐇🐇
Thx
I have set up my rabbits in a large x-pen at my parents for longer vacations but if it’s just for a day or two I have my sister come over twice a day to feed them. I make sure she confirms all rabbits are eating at each meal to ensure no stasis issues. I would love to take them with me but that is a lot of supplies to travel with and one of my rabbits is very sensitive and prone to stasis so I wouldn’t want to stress him.
I wish there were nice bunny facilities like those in your videos near me! I have such horrible anxiety about leaving one of my three rabbits....he is a solo bunny, because he doesn't get along with our other male. Our other two rabbits are a male and female pair, and they are okay as long as they have someone checking in on them, since they are together.
We try to take him with us most of the time, but the one time where we could not, we paid my sister-in-law to come and stay overnight for the week and take care of all (5) of our pets. That made me feel so much better. His sister loves animals and had a rabbit when she was a kid, so I wasn't worried about them. She sent us pics and kept us updated on the status of our pets the entire trip, so I was very happy with it. I would definitely recommend if you can to let your bunnies stay at home while you're gone. If you have one of those nice bunny facilities, that's an option if you have to, but I think the bunnies are a lot more comfortable not being surrounded by unfamiliar rabbits/smells/sounds/people.
I will say though that all 5 of our animals are very needy the week after we get back lol. It makes me feel a bit guilty, but they always recover after a week or so of extra love. So be prepared to spend a lot of time with them when you get back just to make sure they are okay and feel loved
I print out pic of what each thing a bunny does each position or in pain etc. I even keep poop in bag to show how to look at each poop and what it looks like and it it’s smaller then it’s a issue
am i the only one who loves to see their nose moving, them cleaning their face and hopping around
i wonder what Lennon's one-sixth G binkies would look like. Probably spectacular!
My bunny was disabled the last few months of her life and I hired a former exotics vet tech to come over and express her bladder. I kept trips very short.
Now that she has passed, I am going to travel quite a bit before I get another bunny.
Hi Lorelei! Our two free roam bunnies Mando & Lorein appreciate you and your chanel! They are now 1 year old and when we went on vacation in spring this year, we had a three friends that they know come in mornings, daytime and evenings each for about an hour to clean feed, play and cuddle, it worked really well. Now that (sadly) my parents dog passed away, we are starting to train them to look after our babies in their home. We are planning visits to my parents with Mando & Lorien and bring all of their favorite things and a gate (my parents have a very big house and we want to limit their free roaming to only a part of the house) and stay there with them for a couple of hours and go home with the buns again. Maybe we leave them there once over night as a tester before we leave them for a week or two. Any recommendations on what to do with them during those visits, just let them be, or play their favorite games, anything to look out for during those visits? Thanks so much for your help!
You should wear bunny ears at this point lol 🤣
My buns even go shopping with me. They are only alone a few hours a day for nap time while I am at the office 2 to 4 hours.
I have never been away from my rabbits longer than one night since I first got them in 2019. Just don't feel good leaving them. Also, I haven't felt like travelling either. When I've been gone overnight I've had a friend come check on them in the evening and in the morning and it has turned out well.
I went to a teacher's conference this summer. I left my little Snowball with my parents. My boyfriend also would drop by. Even though my parents knew how to take care of him, I still left them clear instructions on how to take care of him. I'm actually planning a trip to Japan this year, I will be gone two weeks, and I'm already making a list for my parents and my boyfriend.
Indiana house rabbit society will watch your bunny for you. They are an awesome resource
So what I learned from this is when you go on vacation send your bunny to loralie
Hi Lorelei I’m rlly happy cuz I convinced my friend to not keep her bunny outside and she lets him free rome her room now
I always take videos for my pet-sitters in case they forget everything. Because my two live like royalty there's a lot to take in! I always make sure to tell them what to look out for and leave them with the emergency Vet number. But I never go away longer than a couple of days.
여행을 갈수가 없습니다😂 내 토끼의 안전과 건강이 중요하기 때문입니다
❤❤❤
It’s very difficult but I pay a great lady to stay the whole time, . I also have flash cards on how to do the litter box and pre packed each feeding with dates on the internet. I also have cameras i worry but I have directions to vet’s emergency hospitals everything even vet has their info and my card on file
I left my boys Guinness and Jameson, with some friends ( I'd watched their dogs) I gave specific instructions they came back fat. They gave them pellets galore
Oh no
❤❤❤❤
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE BUNNY🐰🐇🐰🐇🐇🐇😁😁😍😍😁😁
lennon is soooooooo cute💞💞🐇🐰
We did a bunny hotel before, but not again as when we picked him up there were dogs there looking through the windows at the rabbits, and exercise times (as they were kept in hutches in a garage) was outside and although secure, there were cats and dogs around, I really regret it so never again. Now we have a bunny friendly sitter who comes to our house twice a day, and doesn't mind my crazy bunny person 12 page instruction sheet ;) Unfortunately, there isn't an option for a full time bunny sitter, so it's the best option for our 2 boys and least stressful for them. I hadn't thought about the recognising stasis early that you mentioned could get missed, so might go and get an indoor security camera so I can see them when away.
Thank you for the video! I usually pay my next door neighbor to come over a few times a day when my ENTIRE family is gone on vacation (which, by the way, rarely EVER happens and we've never been gone for more than a week). Otherwise, I just have a sibling or my dad take care of him :)
I have a bunny, named Oreo, and I take him everywhere with me. This summer, I had a friend who was willing to bunnysit while I was gone overseas for a vacation, and she was awesome. Oreo is very social to people and loves them, and the best part is that my friend has roommates who loves animals and a large place for him to explore. I did have to make a list for certain food preferences since he was a picky eater, and the schedule for medication and walks were very specific 😂. I also had to give them a deposit to care for him because where they live is expensive, but it is much better than the other option my family suggested: have another family member care for him but puts him outside under the hot sun with no room and ignores him to the point of only feeding him and giving him water. 😑
Thank you for another fantastic video! My rabbit has been really lonely after our other rabbit died a few weeks ago. We gave him to a different owner right after our friends gave theirs to them. We're taking the rabbits back tomorrow. Do you have any advice for re-bonding a rabbit? We're being very careful and not forcing their relationship.❤🐇
Hi! I ask my family to watch them and as a backup a trusted friend. Or they go with us!
I will board my future buns at a rescue!
My 2 bunnies go to bunny hotel. Yes, it is expensive. I know they are being taken good care of
Make sure that your rabbit has new play mates while your gone on vacation
Like cats and rabbits
Gracie loved playing hide and seek with the cats
But they were are close church friends back in 2002
I would love to visit lenon Lorelei in person someday in the future
Shalom 🕊️ of ✌️
Bunny and Teddy's grandma takes vare of them when we fly back to the USA for vacation.
Fortunately we have a trusted family member who stays at our place. She’s an animal lover, my buns love her.
Used to do pet sitting service that would come twice a day but so expensive and hit and miss with getting it right. Lately have had a friend come house sit/bunny sit several days. Being a bunny person can tie you down somewhat as far as vacations as bunnies require specific care. After 32 years of being a "bunny mom" I look forward to new freedom whenever my current bunny passes...he's close to 13 years old now but doing well for his age.
I have boarded guinea pigs and cats and dogs and rabbits and a celamander named Sally. People trust rabbit people as a rabbit person is in tune with everything
Leave my bunny with lots of water pots & food pots. Load bathroom w/ black garbage bag then newspapers & litter boxes of hay. Come backs just wrap bags up into garbage bags. Most food& water left over. Happy bunny stayed at home & no one to scare him while we were gone
My bunny goes with me.
Your dress is so pretty 😍 May I ask where it's from?
are you going to continue the house rabbit make overs btw ily guys
We had a customer who had her neighbor come by to let their bunny out without having all the education we gave to the new owner, so their was not careful monitoring and the bunny chewed some wiring. The owner returning home ended up getting in touch with me immediately recognizing the litter box was empty of droppings. We got the bunny to an emergency Vet, the bunny had a blockage, but the owners knowledge on "Pet Bunny Health and What To Watch Out For" on our Lovely Bunny's Bunny Blog, and quick acting saved her life. I recommend a qualified bunny sitter who will keep you updated on their set up with videos to show how the bunny is living daily and it is not just sitting in a cage. Our "Motto" is it is better to be proactive than reactive, and it really does make a huge difference. If anyone ever needs a bunny sitter, Do some vetting into the sitters knowledge and decide best.
I have one place that I trust to give my bunnies to when I go on vacation. The only problem is, the cage is 2x4. I have looked everywhere to find a bunny boarding that gives them way more space. None offer it. I am willing to pay more but nothing. I take my bunnies with me when I can.
Have you heard the sad news that Bini The Bunny crossed the rainbow bridge?
I have a beautiful little painting by Bini. I loved when you and Shai did a joint video with Lennon and Bini.
Bini was one amazing little bunny.
So sad :(
@@chilton225
Yes it is, but Bini The Bunny lived a long life (elven years +) and had a wonderful bunny daddy with Shai Lighter. Bini and Shai showed the world how amazingly smart bunny rabbits are. I have a painting that was painted by Bini.
It was because of Lennon that I discovered Bini and Pigpoke (he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago, now his legacy is lived on with Pipkin).
My first bunny Kitty Num-Num Cooper crossed the rainbow bridge about three years ago and I still miss my little bunny.
Bunnies are awesome and amazing and Bini The Bunny legacy will live on for many years.

Actually, looking after a bunny, or any pet, for a friend on holiday, is a great way to test out whether you are pet ready for yourself. Because it's a defined period of time, usually short, and there's no long term commitment. It's got to be much better than getting a pet, thinking you really want it, and then regretting it.
Adopt, don't shop. but check yourself out with your friend's bunny first.
Adopting a rabbit from a rescue is more expensive than simply going to a pet store or even the local Rural King. $25 at the Rural King versus $150 at the local rescue for a similar looking rabbit. Most people are definitely going to get their pet from the cheapest source and rescues have a bad reputation for rejecting applications just because they have an employee that doesn’t like you or they find something wrong. Elderly people have a hard time getting rescue pets. Why adopt when the process is too complicated and you probably won’t be seen as suitable to get a pet anyway? Adopting is too much of a hassle and expensive and humiliating too. If you rescue you’re better off finding someone personally who needs to rehome an animal instead of going through an organization. That’s what I do.
@@princesspikachu3915
But also, rescue rabbits are health checked, spayed & neutered.
I don't travel so as not to leave my Rabbit with someone else. I don't trust people.
👍👍👍
I take mine with every were
I wish I had more options for bunny boarding here and also wish that bunny boarding isn't so pricey. If I had my own house, I'd like to offer bunny boarding.
i would love some tips im getting a netherland dwarf but i was going to get a holland lop but my nana said it was too big i really would want some tips because i cant free roam my bunny i have way to much wood and my nana is being nice to atleast let me keep it inside! I really would like advice on keeping a rabbit in a hutch. But i will let it roam some when im home.
Who else loves Lennon?❤
👇
What airline that accepts bunnies in the cabin with you do you use? (Domestic flights) or can you recommend an airline that accepts them? Thank you
I know there’s a lady in our city that does the boarding but I think if we dropped off all 6 it would be like $700 just for a week. So it’s not gonna be happening anytime soon.
