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.
Shut up lol
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...
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.
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
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.
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!
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 :]

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!
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!
Ty soooo much! As soon as you started this kinda series like going up in age I got my rabbit, so this is very helpful, we got rid of the net cause she is pretty potty trained now and she tries to chew on the wall trims, cords, and basically anything, so Tysm I loveeee you! -Laila & Alanna ❤️

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.
Cinnabun is so adorable 🐰! Have a great Sunday, Cinnabun! Bunnies 🐰RULE!
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! ❤️
Between you and Lennon the Bunny. I am so thankful!
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.
Heyyyy!!! Its me AGAINNNN!!! I am soo happy you decided to make this video as my bun is free roam and chews on a lot of stuff even though I bunny proof my house! CRAZYYY. Anyways I am sooooooo excited to watch today's video so I am going to keep this comment
s h o r t. Again love your videos and keep up the great work!
Stay safe Cinnabun and Morgan! Sending lots and lots of lovee
These are so helpful! Thanks for always looking out for us Bun-Parents, Morgan❤️
Cinnabun is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and helping others with your videos.
My Bday will be on Sunday and u posting on a Sunday will truly be a great Bday gift for me
Any bunny is Not a monster! All bunnies are cute! So shush!
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
Hands down my favourite bunny channel 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you, i'm going to try to educate my bunny about this once again. He loves cables ^^'
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
I have a gray bunny named Zoomer. He was from Woody’s first litter. That’s how I noticed Woody was a girl. He nips at me hard. And I hold his head down and say “no” to him in a strong tone.
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.
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.
Sometimes I try to be upset when he chews up my things, but I can't, he is too CUTE, I just laugh 😬😅😅
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!
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
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.
I have an exam tomorrow and I'm needing a CINNABUN SUNDAY 🤎 so THANK YOU!
Me too 😭
Good luck with ur exam
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.
I hope this will help Morgan
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.
Every pet needs limits and discipline! Good job
When your bunny bites your sister charger 10 times:😳
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
Sweet and sensitive? My bun owns this household 💀
Right my bunny jumped over our fence inside and went up our stairs and gave her self a house tour went into everyone's room whole she has the whole down stairs to her self😭😭
Ty soo much, this is soo Helpfull I LOVE YOU❤️
Thank you! These are the things we've been doing but it's good to have reassurance 💖
NEEDED THIS because Thumper is king chewy 😑🤦🏾♀️

Thank you!!
@@SincerelyCinnabun hi cinnabun is soo cute and i am form myanmar it is myanmar it time is 11 6 pm now i love cinnabun so much can please just reply
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 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
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
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
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💖
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
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!
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
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 😁
And this is how it worked out for us: Cayenne chews cord. Joseph thumps ground and goes "no". Cayenne thumps ground. Joseph thumps again. Cayenne thumps again. Joseph starts laughing. Cayenne zooms through the bunny tunnel. I have no idea who won the argument...
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 😂
love this keep up the good work
I’m getting my bunny in 4 months. Thanks for this, I hope I’m prepared ❤️🐰
I just gently push mine away and say off Worked very quickly
Extremely helpful content...thanks!
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me. Your videos have been so helpful and I've now got two bunnies 🐰!! X
Aw I’m so glad!
I remember one time, my mom was angry at me because i didn't watch our bunny while she's roaming the house and ended up munching and cutting my mom's charger.. This is really helpful to us, thankchuuu♡
You should just bunny proof the house
My bunny ate our wall while my mom was sleeping every wall was bunny proofed but that one
I love your videos! Bunny psychology!
Every time I say no to my bunny she licks all my face to melt my heart. Damn her 😂
My rabbit ate half of my wall were it got to the metal but i gave her boxes and lots of toys she stopped. I had to give her little pushes that didn't hurt her. I also give her kisses on her head and nose. Also remember dont give your bunnys
abbits baths its bad for them.
Same our wall is destroyed
My bun just hopped out of his play area!😂
Great video ! 🤍
Super great video!
Superrrr helpful! thank you!
ua-cam.com/video/DalRo9scEgg/v-deo.html🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH! FLUFFY IS BEING SUCH A MONSTER SINCE SHE IS 4 MONTHS OLD AHHA
my rabbit likes eating my basket that looks just like yours! thank you so much!
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!)
thanks for this video! my bun is 4 months old now and is chewing everything including her own litter box!!!
omg I did the thing you did! Before I saw this video if my bunny did something wrong like for example trying to get on my bed just too pee on it while I was still SLEEPING I would do her stomp to let her don't it's not okay omg yay! I would also say No while doing it
you should also do a review of people’s rabbit habitat like lennon the bunny
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 !
This is soo helpful, literally found my rabbit chewing over 60 dollars worth of gaming supply and I was really worried about him😥
Great video, I'm gonna try it this week. My bunny is driving me crazy for the last week. She's chewing on books, carpets, wall paper, my clothes, brum, whatever she finds - and she climbs on furniture like crazy. She even tasted a cactus and liked it very much
You should really bunny proof the room.
@@HeatherCashArt I did. But my bunny is jumping on everything and she's very clever. Today I left the room for 20 sec and she hopped on the table and was eating my bread.
@@paulisialinka you shouldn't leave bread out where your bun can eat it
Your rabbit is bored and chewing because she needs to grind down her teeth and prevent dental problems..use rabbit safe enrichment and NEVER leave unsafe foods out anywhere. It's your responsibility to provide safety for your rabbit. She's also climbing because it's normal for a rabbit, they need things to go in and out of, up and down or tunnels to go through.
@@HeatherCashArt I didn't leave it. Maybe I didn't describe the situation enough. I put down my plate with breakfast sandwich and had aone bite of the piece of bread while I went back for my water
My Smokey is so destructive 😂 she even gets into bunny proofed things 🤦🏻♀️
My rabbit has a tendency to mount my cat. This is a behavior that my cat does not like and I'm worried that it could lead to them fighting when I'm not home. Theo is just now becoming a free roam rabbit and I'm off work for the next week and I plan to use this time off to teach Theo to respect his brother's boundaries and respond to me.
Hi please tell me how make her play alone ? My bunny is always lieing down not at all playing 🤦♀️
Rabbit are social creatures either have two in a pair or more or play with her. She's lonely!
Love your channel- it’s the best rabbit informative/rabbit centric one on UA-cam by far
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?
Could you make a video of DIY bunny toys?
one thing i like about my rabbit is he never peed on anything exept the litterbox
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!
Very useful! Thank you
I have done this with my messy Taffy! 4:31
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
