What kind of chewing toys?
What kind of rabbit do you have?
that sounds like an awesome job❤️
I give my rabbit chew toys, but also, since I live in a place where I can get cottonwood sticks, I give her those to chew too. She loves knawing the bark off.
hi
I have done a the stomp before. My rabbit Taffy stomped back 🤣
Hahaha this made me laugh xD
😂😂 they are smart😊
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had the sass back stomp... I did find the nudge her head away and no, worked for her though. but if I would "stomp" she would stomp.
You do know that rabbits stomp because they are scared of something, right?
mine too!
Hi, professional trainer here. Saying “no” is fine when immediate action needs to be taken, but it’s important to follow it with redirection. Positive reinforcement is the most effective way to train any animal.
Can you give an example of redirecting afterwards? I’ve tried distracting my bunnies with cardboard and treats but they still go to the same areas. I cover those areas with tiles or tape and they flip the tiles or chew through the tape
@@audraburke1526 It takes time, consistency and repetition for them to learn. Every single time they are chewing where they shouldn't say, "NO!" Then show them something they can chew on (cardboard cat scratcher, dig box, fresh wood, wicker basket). When they chew/dig on these reward them with treats. Repeat, repeat, repeat. They will eventually learn that it's far more fun and rewarding to chew their toys than your walls or carpet. It takes constant vigilance. Their access should be restricted if you're not around to keep an eye out whilst they're still learning. I hope this very quick explanation helps!
But do you train rabbits though? I've had all kinds of pets literally things people wouldn't even imagine and trust me not all pets are the same and they don't all get trained the same.
@@tieshafranzen6686 Yes, I do train rabbits, it’s the very foundation of my channel. Everyone (animal or human) responds best to positive reinforcement.
@@audraburke1526 Same problem with mine! lol.
Today I told my bunny “No, Cece” and she turned towards me, did a little thump so I go “that’s what I’m saying!” And she just binkied away. I don’t know what that says about me or her on how effective disciplining her is but it was for sure the Funniest thing I saw all day and I couldn’t be mad at her after that😂😂
I did train my bun like a dog. I put a treat in front of his face and wait until he turned his head away. Rewarded and did that over and over. Then I linked a command to it and now he knows whenever he does something he shouldn’t I say that word sternly and he usually will turn away and leave it. So I usually don’t have to punish him ☺️
Great to hear! Positive reinforcement is the best, most effective way to train any animal.
Can you explain it a bit more? I don't get it. You put a treat in front of him so he eats the treat? Or turns away from the treat (how?) And how did you reward?
@@jaseczka i can try to explain it better. What you want to do is reinforce a specific behaviour. So you have to mark it with a word/treat, whatever the animal likes. I just sit on the ground and have a very tasty treat in my open hand. As soon as he goes for it I close my hand to make sure he doesn’t get it. As soon as he does turn even the slightest but away from me I reward him with a treat from my other hand. Keep building it up and eventually put a word to it. So as soon as he does the behaviour you want him to do say ‘no’ or smth. Not sternly, just say it. I’m not sure how to explain it. If you want some better training tools, look up ‘it’s me or the dog’ on youtube. Basically what she does. There’s a couple of older vids with a good video example. And don’t give up. Some rabbits find it more difficult than others. Hope I explained it good enough for ya. Good Luck and remember to have fun!
And if u have more questions, contact me on insta @ Yukiandlynn. I’m happy to help
I trained with "no" and a slap on my thigh. No I just slap my thigh. The doe has this "stick-her-hands-in-her-pocket-and-whistle" kinda attitude, very sneaky,very naughty or should I say just so damn curious. All 3 of my buns are free roam their hutch is there time out, jail house I should call it. None of this has been over night. I'm still trying to get them to get along with my 3rd older abused bun. Was in a shelter for 5 years. Has a history of abuse, not by the shelter but by previous owner. He hates touch so 8 months later he comes for rubs😌. The young 2 yr doe loves to pluck, the 3yr old buck is ok with this. His back is sometimes a little bald. But the 6 yr old buck hates touch. How do I handle this? Any toy one can suggest? More time together? I have filled a cat litter with hay for her to forge, I have a play mat to hide treats in for her to scratch around, plush toys to lick and groom. I just want her to understand that 6yr old buck doesn't like plucks.
@@jaseczka I have the same question.
I NEEDED this video! My bunny can only free roam under supervision because of this issue. If I can get her to stop chewing my carpet and furniture then I can actually free roam her always! Tysm
you can also try clear packaging tape to protect as many problem areas as needed, &there’s play pen activity mats that are very big and affordable to help protect the carpet:) the biggest lifesaver for me has been stocking up on cuts of wood (also very cheap)& cardboard for them to chew on, its very effective for redirection!
Same !!
Right!!!
Me to
But it's save to use packing tape? My bunny has the sharpest teeth and I'm afraid he'll eat a piece of tape. He us a chewing machine. He has toys, wood and everything for him to chew but he prefers walls and wood furniture 😭
Good points. I find that redirecting my bun works really well. When my bun starts to get out of line I yell "No! bad Peanut" and he responds to the sound of my voice and then I give him one of his chew toys or a handful of hay and it seems to make the connection for him. He rarely has accidents or chews things that he shouldn't. He still has naughty moments, but the more he knows what he can and cannot chew, he's learning for sure.
Thank you for this! So many rabbit content creators just shame people for not completely bunny proofing everything, or not just doing positive reinforcement for everything.
Oh my goodness thank you for saving my life!! Floppy has been chewing literally everything!
Best of luck!
@@SincerelyCinnabun thank you!
Floppy is a really cute name!
@@islagoo Thank you :]

This is extremely helpful. Snuggles sometimes poops on the rug & nibbles my jeans, so I will try the thumping while saying no. Thank you for showing us that we can discipline with love & gentleness...
Thanks so much! This video came at
perfect timing, i’m going through the teen years with bella and she’s having accidents, and just going through her monster phase
I love your videos! I have a male bunny Holland lop named Honey and he is the sweetest and you have really helped me gain a stronger bond with him! ❤️
I love the metal in the background when Cinnabun was going HAM on your baskets/furniture lol!! My bun Scooby was caught chewing on the strap of my designer handbag I got for Christmas… I did the stomp “NO” without even knowing it would be effective (I have been doing this along with picking him up). He defiantly clapped his feet and hopped away but when I sat back in our spot on the sofa he came over to me looking to play so I know I didn’t scare him.
Thank you so much for this vid! It helps a lot! I just got my first bunny and I’m kinda overwhelmed but I’m trying to take it day by day.
You can also put a treat in front of their face, say :no:, and take away the treat. They will start to understand so when they do, give them treats.
These are so helpful! Thanks for always looking out for us Bun-Parents, Morgan❤️
Lol, I was reading on the floor earlier and Frankie started eating my book. I gently pushed him away a couple times and he gave up. I never really thought about "training" my bun... Frank is really well behaved but I'll keep this in mind! Thank you!
This video came out at the right time, my bunny has started randomly chewing on the sofa a bunch thank you for this great video!
I just got a new rabbit two days ago (a Mini Plush Lop buck, under a year old). I've had a rabbit before, also a buck, when I was MUCH younger, but my mother is the one who really took care of him due to me being so young. I'm trying to relearn the ways of pet rabbits and how to balance our lives (because let's face it, a new bunny can be quite the struggle). I did research beforehand, but little of it prepared me for the little energy ball who is now in my care. Your videos have been SO helpful in teaching me how to guide him to not cause (too much) trouble and helping also teach me, not just him. I know it's way too early to say, "oh yes, this worked!" but it's easy, logical, and honestly, I've heard so many people use your tips and agree that they helped. So thank you for your channel and your tips and guides, it's making my bunny-raising journey a lot smoother!
Awwh! So helpful! This will definitely help me :) You make fantastic videos! ♡ Hope you and Cinnabun are great 👍
Thank you!!

Hands down my favourite bunny channel 🧡🧡🧡
Your home looks very cozy, an inspiration :) As a bun owner myself, these videos inspire me to take better care of my bun :)
We must learn to speak Rabbit. LOL.
Ty soo much, this is soo Helpfull I LOVE YOU❤️
love this keep up the good work
Extremely helpful content...thanks!
Tysm! I needed this! It was helpful ♥️
My Bday will be on Sunday and u posting on a Sunday will truly be a great Bday gift for me
Swear to god this was the MUCH NEEDED VIDEO🥺🥺❤️I’ll definitely try these put bec my bun keeps on chewing everything he finds😭even my design school drawing, pencils, and what not!!! Thanksss a lotttt much love💖
Thank you, i'm going to try to educate my bunny about this once again. He loves cables ^^'
This is extremely helpful because when I heard first say you pick cinabbun to discipline her, I tried it and quickly realized just how terrified mine is of being off the ground. He will actively jump out of my arms even before he's in my hands and freaks out If I do manage to pick him up. He trusts me a lot. He flops, sploots and even exposes his belly to me in my presence, he's just terrified of being in the air.
Thank you! These are the things we've been doing but it's good to have reassurance 💖
AHHHH Last time I checked, you had 10k subs. Now, you have 26k. You deserved ittttt
This is really helpful! My bun keeps trying to eat up my papers and bags as well as my carpet so this will be so much better for both me and my little bun. Thank you!
Thank you for this! I just gently hold my rabbits snoot when she's being naughty and it used to work but now she got cheeky and she licks my hand when I hold her snoot
Sometimes I try to be upset when he chews up my things, but I can't, he is too CUTE, I just laugh 😬😅😅
Great video ! 🤍
Thank you this was really informative I still live with my parents and one of the only ways that my dad will let me get a bunny is if it won’t chew so this was really helpful!
Oh my god! Thank you so muchhhhhh! This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Love your new intro, Cinnabun is soo cute as well! All of my wires are chewed 😤 all because of a little (evil) furball. Here’s a little recommend: can you make a video of how to make your bunny get used to getting held? Or they can’t get held?
Super great video!
I’m getting my bunny in 4 months. Thanks for this, I hope I’m prepared ❤️🐰
Thank you so much!!
Awesome video!
I’m definitely gonna try this thank youu :)
I started to do this shushing like sound that my hispanic mom did to us when we were kids, the sound basically means 'whatever you're doing, you should probably stop right now'. I started doin it to my buns and they actually listen! Ur tips have been super helpful, especially saying no, all while doing the shushing sound! :D
I needed this seriously 😸🤣
Superrrr helpful! thank you!
ua-cam.com/video/DalRo9scEgg/v-deo.html🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have an exam tomorrow and I'm needing a CINNABUN SUNDAY 🤎 so THANK YOU!
Me too 😭
Good luck with ur exam
Cinnabun is so cute🥰
thanks for this video! my bun is 4 months old now and is chewing everything including her own litter box!!!
Very useful! Thank you
I love your videos! Bunny psychology!
I'm going to try all these. I especially needed the advice about them doing their business in the wrong places. I've been keeping her out of my bedroom and I can tell she feels left out because of it. Now maybe I can train her to respect my bed. 😊 🐇 Thank you
Thanks for this!
LOVE THIS VIDEO. Thanks
Any bunny is Not a monster! All bunnies are cute! So shush!
I have had two rabbits
One was very people friendly, ran up to people to greet them, loved to explore all the rooms in the house. She chewed everything, furniture, carpets, clothing while I wear it, beds, cords, etc...
Bunny two is shy, stays in one room mostly, does not roam the house, only comes too you if you have food for them, but very nice bunny, never chews my stuff.
Two different personalities
Thank you so much! I have a baby boy bun and he loves to go wild and climb stuff and get into stuff and he would ignore me and I hope this will help 😁
ur hair looks really cute in this vid!💜💜
This video is super helpfull, Ive always wondered how I can correct them withought you know... hurting them, Ill try this tips right away, thanks!
thanks for helping out me and my Akira 🐰❤️
I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH! FLUFFY IS BEING SUCH A MONSTER SINCE SHE IS 4 MONTHS OLD AHHA
Your the best you just gained a new sub🤩
I use a spay bottle and give them a spritz when they’re chewing up the carpet, never knew about the stopping I’m gonna try that !
Today I got my first ever bunny.
She is a Dutch mark and her name is Buttercup. And guess what she is the exact same color as cinnabon and guess what.... (this will make you feel successful for your efforts to make videos) I didn't get it from a pet store rather from an ethical breeder who took excellent care of the whole litter.
my bun potty trained herself and she knows VERY well what "no" mens and what she isn't allowed teo do. So when she wants attention or to punish her humans, she eats the cables and the chargers or even cacti and she does it with a special look on her face, and does as much sound as possible.
Thank you for making this video my rabbit loves to chew the walls and my stuff!! I’ve gotta hide everything so she can free roam lol 😂
Every pet needs limits and discipline! Good job
thank you!
Very good thank you for al the information I love your Chanel omg sunnebun is so cute we love her 💋🥰 I have very cute bunnies 👌😍 free roaming nice house they deserve a good live.
I have rescued onther 2 bunnies were in cage's no hay voor15 weekse of there short lifetime so cute lovely bunnies😍 now 4 bunnies
I’m not sure if I agree with most of these, obviously with your rabbit it’s working but with others I don’t know if it’s the right direction, you have to build an element of trust before you start training your rabbit. How I trained my rabbit to stop chewing the bars is I actually moved him away from the bars and toward something he can chew, or I have a pillow and I gently push him away whilst saying no, not shouting it, just saying the word no. I only use the pillow when I’m in my bed and I’m exhausted.
Because you use common sense
This is the worst video ive found for advice. Like im shocked shes telling people to yell in a bunnies face or pick them up to intimidate themand then yell. You do not need any of this. Smh sad so sad and scary how many people blindly trust her because of a stupid youtube channel and zero actual schooling.
Amazing as ever you two, as always, keep up the good informative videos. Live your channel soooo much. Can't wait for next Sunday.
Thank you so much!
When your bunny bites your sister charger 10 times:😳
This is a great video! The thump is a great idea.....
My bunny knows when she’s in trouble now so she just runs to her bedroom so I don’t pick her up and take her there 😂 she HATES being picked up
Super useful tips! Thank you. My bunny keeps marking my bed… I’ve tried time out but he keeps doing his business on my bed…. I’m gonna try your advice
Getting them spayed or neutered stops the peeing which is territorial marking along w/ leaving poo as they move along...stomping also means danger & they are irritated...if you can't get them fixed, yes putting them in the litter box works, putting their poo in their litter box works & redirection w/ a no works
my rabbit likes eating my basket that looks just like yours! thank you so much!
Oh my my my I needed this video !!! Goodness my bunny can transform to a real gremlin sometimes !! And when she does something wrong she does it with an attitude!!! So sassy !!pheww careful buns ! if you keep disobeying... You're going to end up in jail !!🔒 (worst part is when they look at you as you get not happy with them, they look so sorry !! But no no, these little angel face can eventually transform into little demons for a minute, but goodness we love them
Thank you for this! I'm watching after my bunnies escaped from their safe area, chewed through the wire of our new dryer then chewed through an important cable! They do this multiple times a day and its getting out of hand and meaning that they get less freedom in the house. I really need some help so I need to try some new things (Also the problem is I don't know which bunny is being naughty or if its both!)
This is so helpful!! Thank you thank you!
I got my 2 Lionheads about a week ago and I can't seem to find a good video on how to comb a fussy rabbit who doesn't want to be combed. I need Jesus!
I lost my bun yesterday as she went into shock... i loved my little yellow so much
I'm gonna have to try the bunny jail one. 😂
My boy bun hates being cooped up. I think he'd get the point pretty quick.
Love your channel- it’s the best rabbit informative/rabbit centric one on UA-cam by far
This video got released at the PERFECT TIME, My new bun started becoming more destructive, he chewed my brothers charger and it’s no longer fast charging💀 - I’m going to bunny proof as well as use these techniques
This is soo helpful, literally found my rabbit chewing over 60 dollars worth of gaming supply and I was really worried about him😥
you should also do a review of people’s rabbit habitat like lennon the bunny
Every time I say no to my bunny she licks all my face to melt my heart. Damn her 😂
I've had rabbits for 5 years, and decades worth of dogs.
Here's what I found. So I have never been one to yell or even raise my voice much. So what I've accidentally learned is that by changing to a firm tone, the Bunny immediately reacts bc it's out of character. "no Sydney" in a firm voice causes him to immediately retreat.. Then I give him something he can chew. I never would pick my buns up to scold as you say. As prey animals, It's hard enough to get most buns to trust you to pick them up, so logically it would just instill that being picked up is negative.
Thank you sm for this video, our rabbit has just started chewing on the corners of drywall😐
I've been searching for how to discipline my bunny Apollo as he is a naughty man who keeps trying to hump my cats and ate my yoga mat haha. Its the wee pees he does on the couch even tho he is litter tray trained. Pee pads are not a good look on the couch 24/7 . Yup free roaming most of the day. Thank you! New subscriber 💃
My bun just hopped out of his play area!😂
When you put your bun in time out, do you put any hay or a litter box with them?
