I literally found out 2 days ago that rabbits need to be in pairs. So that day I got my bunny a friend and she was doing binkies and zoomies when I put them together. Never seen a rabbit so happy before. I'm glad I made the right choice
I have a lionhead thats 10, her sister recently passed so after multiple failed attempts to introduce her to other rabbits we introduced her to our 2 guinea pigs, as we had no other choise because she was just so depressed and sad and it was just so horrible to see, and now she hates being away from them and she's so happy and full of life again

Hi! To the nice lady who is tall, very knowledgeable and eloquent, and clearly loves bunny - you do a great job! Thank you so much for the help. I just got a bunny two days ago and have learned a tremendous amount from you! Thanks again! I don’t think you need a host for these either.... in fact your solo videos seem to have more impact and flow better! You do great alone and are very easy to understand. You make learning about bunnies easy!!
Watching this in 2023 and i agree with you! The shorter lady says the weirdest things like the bunny dying because maybe it got murdered by the othe one, i didn't understand why she was in the video in the first place
Great video, will defiantly be getting my little guy a friend after this. Have done all my research and have booked Oreo in to get him neutered, thank you so much.
Chocolate was killed by a cat:(Ever since that happened caramel was less social and was always sad:(belle is my dog she is really nice to them.When chocolate died she always sat in the spot he died in and at the exact same time he died she howls.....So we got lopey my mini lop and they all got along really well.But we still will never forget chocolate.He was a very social bunny that always love to be carried and cuddled.He always followed me around in the park he was very special to me.I gained his trust without even trying:')He only lasted 5 months but I am glad I at least got to have him as my bunny
I'm getting a bunny today on, march 11 and I can't wait but that's really sad that ur bunny died my grandma's bird died the next morning laying on the floor of his cage
about 6 months ago I bought a Netherlands Dwarf bunny and had finally, after he seemed to get depressed, I adopted a female Lion Head bunny. I introduced them almost immediately and it was love at first sight! They are absolutely crazy about each other and seeing them together is like nothing else. This video helped a lot when it came to selecting my little Lion Head and introducing them!
I find rabbits and cats are a better pair to bond than trying to bond two rabbits. My rabbit and my three cats get along amazingly. They sleep on the bed together, they wrestle each other (the cat is usually on their back and the rabbit is nudging him/her), chase each other around, drink from the same water bowl, groom each other, etc.
For those of you to say why dont you put rabbits and guinea pigs together, and why it is not featured on this video is because it is lightly because of the size difference a rabbit can seriously injure a guinea pig, esspecially with its back legs that can be incredibly strong and can even kill the guinea pig. Also they have slightly different nutritional requirements as guinea pigs need a increase of vitamine c in there diet and rabbits need more vitamin d. I know my two rabbits love eachothers company, they act like a old married couple and like to have time seperate but when my girl rabbit (pebbles) sits down the male (bambam) always wants to sit right on top of her and lie right infront of her face. They often groom eachother and enjoy playing with the toys I give them together. It is known for pebbles to show dominance over bambam but I have never seen them fight over it, quite often they are let out in our full garden during the summer and they love to chase and flurt, but bambam always gets the wrong end (he is a bit of a doppy bunny - ie he ran full spead into a closed patio door). But not all rabbits do like company, I went to an animal college for two years and there was a more eldery female rabbit who loved to sit by herself or just have cuddles off the students, it is all about the personallity. When I introduced my rabbits together they were very young so they took to being friends instantly its very hard to introduce new company if they are a bit older. It is important to have MORE SPACE rabbits do have times where they do need time appart, I never seperate my rabbits but they do do it themselves, my bambam is known to sit out in the rain and pebbles sits inside the hutch. (I have a full two layer hutch that is permanently connected to a run - only locked up for 9 hours max at night so that we have no dead bunnies)
I have 2 bunnies, one netherland dwarf and the other is a lionhead. I had the lionhead since it was 8 weeks old, then a year after we adopted the netherland dwarf which is already neutered. They're both males with same age and we neutered the lionhead at about 4 months old which made him stop marking everything in the house, he's a free roaming in our living room. After we got the netherland I have to housed them in separate cages which i put side by side and let them roam the living room in turns. Tried to bond them but always end up in a blood shed....... After exactly 1 year together, I finally decided ok I'll let both of them out at same time without my interference, they chased each other for a long time until they got tired and just ignored each other. I did this like 3 times and finally exactly a year, they decided to eat together in one bowl...... the rest is history.
lylah07 I am planning on getting a friend for my male bunny who is neutered and 1 years old, I want to get a female as I see that they tend to get along better, My bunny doesn't stay in his cage as he is always free in the home, how would I introduce them? Thanks in advance
Not sure about female/male bunny bonding, I heard they're easier than male/male bonding. You could probably try to put them together right away and see how they do, if you're lucky they just bond right away. Took mine exactly 1 year to bond, I know too long but it's because they're both territorial, I had to put them on a separate cages side by side and just scheduled their free roaming in the house one by one. They're both bonded now and both free roam in the house. I tried to force them together, but they always end up fighting and the little netherland always get some bloody bitemarks from my lionhead. Had to separate them a lot of times. Nothing seems to work with them, until exactly one year from meeting each other, I decided to put them again together and they decided to share the bowl of pellets. Maybe they finally got tired of seeing each other with a fence between them hehe.
Loved the information. The first one was very eloquent and knowledgeable in her presentation. The 2nd one got a friend! lol I got a 2nd rabbit for Daisy Delilah the 2nd day after purchasing from the same store. Got a $10 discount for my efforts. Now they are bonded. Actually instantly bonded and it's a joy to watch. Marilyn Monroe is now running around and having a drink. She's very interested in the towel I left outside the cage and knows it's to lie on. We'll see about these gals and they are my little love bugs. So funny and cute. They love going around the cage and the 1st one is a little lover and teaches the 2nd one what to do. The 2nd one is larger and sweet as pie, probably near full grown. They're both dwarf mixes. Marilyn is named that for the spot on her cheek on both sides. The 1st one has freckles and is more mottled looking. I'll try and post some pics or videos of them doing their things. Who knows might even go viral. They are now grooming their paws in unison. Love is in the air. Bunny style
my bunnies bonded after 2 days. the little one wanted to get closer to the big bun. Now they are 2 happy bunny friends. How is it possible for a quick bonding?
After one of my first two rabbit sisters died, I got two rabbit brothers and neutered them. To get the older rabbit used to the two new ones, I had their two pens seperate to each other at first, they were close enough to smell and see each other, then I let just one "party" out at a time, and after a while I let them out together with strict supervision. They were so cute and one in heart and soul. About three years ago someone stole them from their pens in the garden.
My rabbits are both female and they are sisters and they have such a strong bond it's adorable. When I first picked them up from the shelter they're always cuddling!!
hey! I have two lion-head rabbits, one female and one male. the female is about 8 mounts old and the male is around five mounts. I want them to have children but most importantly be together so that they can enjoy each others company. I usually let them run around the house together and they never fight. But when they are being placed in a cage they get more aggressive. I don't want the male to be on the female too much if it could be harmful to her. What should I do? Thanks!
I have two bunnies. And they don't get along since day one! They are both male. So I replaced their friend with myself making them both mama boys. One licks me on the nose when I give him a kiss on the head before bedtime and the other lays with me and follows me when I have him out. :3 I'm a good bunny owner! Both are 3 years old now and both healthy and happy.
I’m on day three of having my new boy and rn he’s flopped in the litter box sleeping and my girl is sitting next to it like a sweetheart. You shouldn’t have to wait weeks and weeks before introducing them but sometimes it’s necessary but I’m glad everything working out great for me so far so good luck with your bonding
I was surprised to find out the cost of spay/neutering. I realize it is an important surgery, but knowing that I need to spend $200 each to neuter/spay my current rabbit as well as a second bun, really makes me reluctant to add to my family. That is a real shame because my bunny will remain alone, and my potential second bun remains without a home. It is a shame.
Cheri Pie That's not true rabbits are exotics in the vet world and require different courses and meetings so their vet care is a lot more expensive than cats or dogs (which are routinely/default studied) anywhere from $100-$500 is a normal cost for a spay but some rescues can help with programs. Like min normally is $250 but my rescue has a program that makes it $65 if I go to a certain vet.
Been thinking of getting a friend for Lulu but I don't know. Worried she would be resent the new bunny. We've had her since she was 6 weeks and she's almost 7 now. Your dwarf looks JUST LIKE Lulu!! WOW!!
Thank you this helped me a lot your videos have helped me, with me being a new bunny mom for almost a year now it helps when their is stuff out there like this :-) I Shared
I used to have a bonded pair of house rabbits. The male was a Flemish Giant, and the female was a Norwegian dwarf. He was chilled to the point of being like Lao Tze, but she was more like Bruce Lee. She actually took on one of our cats who was being a bit mean to her, and scared the cat so hard it spent the rest of the weekend on top of the wardrobe and never went near either of the rabbits again. I built them a little house that doubled as our TV unit. It was a two-tier affect with a little path (a path! a path!) so they had a bedroom on a raised area away from their food, water and toilet. I miss them both. They were utterly hysterical, and if wasn't for the fact that rabbits will completely destroy you ability to get your deposit back, I'd get them again Best indoor pets ever 🤣
I have two rabbits and they are siblings and their fine together. if i were you I would get two rabbits that are siblings because they already know each other=) and its so cute when their together:) hope this helps:)
I’m getting 2 bunnies, (both girls, about 8 weeks.) they are both sisters, I’m not buying them from a pet store, but from someone who didn’t want them anymore.i can’t waittt
Can spayed and noutered sibling rabbits live together I've been looking for a video on this but couldn't find anything can someone please tell me if they can?
Lol I can't even pay attention to what they r saying. The bunnies r so cute lmaooo. No, but I need all the help I can get. I'm getting a second bunny. We r going to get her spayed. Does a girl and a boy rabbit ( both fixed) work best?? Because we are getting a female, but we have one male atm
Thanks so much for the tip recently one of my two females rabbits pass away and I got so sad about it so the other rabbit did the first days she was very sad and scare but now she is doing well I defiantly want to get a friend for her so she won't feel alone and for sure I'm going to follow the advice on this video because I'm so afraid for her to don't get alone with the new body 😁👌🏼🐇🐰
We used to have a pair of sister rabbits at some point when I was a teen. One was black and the other was white. Inside their cage the black one was always very active dragging stuff around and the white wasn't so much. Then it became summer and we put them outside in the garden. The black one would just sit there, not even searching shade or shelter unless we put her there. The white one would come alive completely, explore the entire garden, and dig a den in the strawberry patch. She could get a hole a metre deep in an afternoon, but would come outside when called and it was time to put them back in their pen. The white one also learned very quickly where the edge of our garden was and would turn back when we called her but try to sneak into the neighbour's garden if she thought we weren't watching. The black one still preferred sitting in the grass over being in the pen though and would get out if given the choice. She just didn't seem to have a clue what to do once outside. They were both fun.
I'm getting a pointy-eared friend for my Holland Lop, Christmas, I hope he likes his new buddy! I think he gets bored all by himself when I'm at school, so this will be a good experience for him. Thanks for the info! I need to make sure I do this right.
+SaraTheMouse You should go to your local rabbit resuce (petfinder can show you local rabbits in rescues) and let your rabbit pick out his friend, a lot of the time two random rabbits will fight but if you give your bun the chance to pick his own friend you'll have a better chance of bonding them. Even if your local rabbit rescue is a little ways away, most rescues will meet with you with rabbits. As long as your rabbit is neutered it should be okay. Research rabbit bonding a lot and try to find a good bonding process for you. Btw I love mangle it's my favorite robot.
Just give it time it took mine a month to like each other when I got both my bunnies the older one would attack the new one but now she loves her and can't be with out her :)
I had 2 month old bunnies from the same litter and they liked each other they would cuddle and it was very cute but one died a couple days ago and my other rabbit doesn't seem to be sad at all he still runs around and hops around and jumps on me but I want to know if I should get another one and have 2 again or should I stick with one?
I agree except with your way of bonding a little bit of nibbling and chasing is normal there working out who’s boss, I would do the side by side thing, then start swapping there toys and litter trays, them take them to a neutral area and let them interact for 5 - 10 minutes keep doing each steps for a few days to a few weeks depending on there personalities.
hopefully tomorrow I am getting my two rabbits!! I want to get two females at the same so they are getting used to their new home together. I have a lot of little cousins and I'm nervous that they won't listen to me when. I tell them to back off when they are harming them.... I'm so excited!! I'm naming them Poppy and Sage ❤
Please someone i need a answer i have a pet rabbit 2 of them and they fight i got the new rabbit yesterday and don't now what to do i am scard and mad please if someone tells me i will sub u please i need to now and i don't now if this is going to work i have a baby rabbit and a big one
Tayla Um hmmm is the big one being mean to the little one? maybe the big one feels like hes the boss of him because hes bigger but i dont know alot about rabbits i just got one 3 days ago
As you just said, you got the little one a day before you posted this. It will take weeks. Give them a few days apart and then try again by introducing them slowly over a few weeks.
Tayla Um You need to bond the rabbits before you can house them together. Look up "how to bond my rabbits" and research. It will take time and patience. Also, consider getting both of them fixed
Let's just say my sister got a rabbit from a person near us. Sadly the rabbit we got.was separated from his brother when we adopted him because we didn't have the room for both of them..but then my Rabbit died and we reliased the people we got my.sister's rabbit from still had our RABBITS brother left so we decided to adopt him :) after that the two brothers were 'reunited! And became friends once again :D
My rabbits age is unknown because he’s a rescue but he never leave his hide house even though we have a good bond... I made his pen smaller & bigger but he’s still unhappy in his 7x10 foot cage with a tunnel, 3 hides and plenty toys. I’m not sure if he’s old, needs a friend or is depressed. When I first got him he was pretty happy until a few months later... please help
we got 2 bunny's from a shelter that had been together for years and when we brought them home they started fighting. They are both the same age from the same litter. it is now fine but that is what happened.
wow! this was great! we r 2 very happy bunnies... just like urs!♥♥♥ LOVE THE VIDEO. we did everything u said.. but didnt know this info. at the time. IT WORKED OUT PERFECT! constant compliments & comments on how cool we r! (hee hee hop hop hee) ♥
I wanted to have a male lop rabbit with orange, yellow and white fur. I wanted Skippy to have a mix of lop and original rabbits. I thought of naming him after Edd (Double D). He might be neutered after having kids with Skippy.
..it would be good? it is a must! i don't like the woman on the right.. double trouble, double the cost. blabla. don't be so selfish. if u can't afford two, then don't get any! get a hamster instead, a hamster should only live by itself. Bunnies on the other hand shouldn't be denied a companion. they need it! it's a basic need, like water or food. interaction with a human or another animal can't replace that. don't make it out to be an option to have a single bunny. it isn't!
You're ignoring a bigger reality. If there's 1 bunny in a shelter or cruel pet store, and someone can afford to take it home and take good care of it but can't afford another one, or can't find one to get along with it, would you rather that bunny have a good home as a single bunny, or end up being euthanized [in the shelter] or go to a cruel careless owner [from the pet store]? If there were plenty of good willing bunny owners to go around I would agree with you, but aren't you being short sighted and careless - and maybe a bit arrogant - in promoting such an idea?
+4Corry that probably won't be a good idea leave it to the people who work with the pet store. Rabbits can have a new litter every 30 days and do you really want about 50,000 bunnies over the course of 3 years
+4Corry The problem is that there are literally hundreds of rabbits in rescues already who need homes, so by breeding you're really just adding to the problem, especially if you haven't done the proper research into the lineage of the rabbits you're breeding to make sure that they have healthy and friendly ancestors. The people who are buying your babies could be adopting rescue rabbits instead, and giving homes to rabbits that really need it.
I have a four month old rabbit and a four month old kitten and they are like best friends c: It's super duper cute and they play with each other allll the time
Ps to everyone saying that rabbits and guinea pigs can live together-- IT'S NOT WISE, despite what you may hear. Rabbits are happier with their own kind. (Typically, opposite gender pairs are better when both are fixed, as males will fight with other males). Guinea pigs and rabbits are not even in the same scientific family. Rabbits are hardly ever vocal, whereas, guinea pigs squeak constantly. They also have very different diets, needs, etc. They can't communicate with eachother, as guinea pigs communicate mostly using vocals, and rabbits mostly with body language. Also, guinea pigs are much smaller than most rabbit breeds, and rabbits have extremely sharp nails. If they got into a scuffle, the rabbit could easily kill the guinea pig. Do your research-- if you want your rabbit to have a friend, i suggest getting him another rabbit to play with.
I already own a guinea pig, and sometimes she gets a bit grumpy, so if I don't know the rabbits gender, should I be concerned if it humps the guinea pig? (I heard female guinea pigs can't breed after 6 months, and I had her longer than that.) I think the rabbit is female, she hasn't been very agressive at all, but very nervous.
Rabbits and guinea pigs cant breed- their reproductive systems aren't compatible. So scientifically, they can't breed. But considering how much bigger rabbits are than guinea pigs, a rabbits' humping a guinea pig could result in serious injury or death, so be careful if youre considering putting them together :)
I have 2 rabbits. Both females. I got one more today and is just 5 weeks old. When I got home my 2 rabbits started biting and hurting the little rabbit. My 5 week little rabbit has a big cut on her side.
Take it to the vet then, dont just let the cut get infected and tell everyone on youtube! Also, dont put the rabbit with older rabbits until it is big enough to defend its self if it has too. Also, why didnt you break up the fight? Common sense people!
I have two netherland dwarf bunnies, and when I got them, they were so skinny in a small box. The box said "gender unknown". I want to take them to a veterinarian but there isn't one near me. They don't show any strange behavior and get along fine. One is bigger than the other
My bunny lived in my boyfriend's house ever since we bought her but I had to move it.She went to my grandma's house (cause my parents dont want it in the house)and live in an unused bathroom. My grandma goes up there everyday to feed her and clean her up.But she only stays there for 10 mins every day.When I had my bunny in my bfs house we used to play all the time.But now she has lost most of the human contact because I work and I can't visit her every day. Should I buy a friend for my bunny or she is fine alone?thank you
My 6 month old rabbit (female) chases and tries to bite my 7-week old (female too) rabbit. I just got the little one, and I’m trying to get them to bond better.
so we got two bunnies and was told one was a girl. turns out pepper is a boy. both are boys. they are still very one, one is 4 months the other is 2 and a half. what are the chances of them bonding?
I have a pair of rabbits and they are the exact same breeds as these. They are a bonded pair and have been together since birth, for 3 years together. Yesterday my lionhead passed away 😭 and my netherland has been very sad 😢 even though were getting another.
What if you have a very jealous rabbit? My bunny and I have a very intimate bond but due to this she tends to be territorial. She even tries to push humans out of our room when I’m having guests! I think she thinks I’m a bunny because she pushes her body very close to me even when it’s summer as well
I will buy two bunnies, and both comes from the same litter (and from the same cage) and they seem to get along. Should I put them in different cages first or just put it in the same cages? Thanks ;)
This is helpful. I have a very small Polish buck and a Mini-Satin doe. He’s 3 and she’s 2...they’ve both been fixed so I’m now (slowly) letting them see each other and sniff a bit but only in their individual crates and apart where they can’t bite each other. I guess my problem with this process is when do I know they’re fighting? I don’t want to wait until blood has been drawn...I’m trying to get a sense of when it’s regular bonding and when it’s aggression. More help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I love the way their little noses move!

They sleep on the bed together, they wrestle each other (the cat is usually on their back and the rabbit is nudging him/her), chase each other around, drink from the same water bowl, groom each other, etc.

I know my two rabbits love eachothers company, they act like a old married couple and like to have time seperate but when my girl rabbit (pebbles) sits down the male (bambam) always wants to sit right on top of her and lie right infront of her face. They often groom eachother and enjoy playing with the toys I give them together. It is known for pebbles to show dominance over bambam but I have never seen them fight over it, quite often they are let out in our full garden during the summer and they love to chase and flurt, but bambam always gets the wrong end (he is a bit of a doppy bunny - ie he ran full spead into a closed patio door).

It is important to have MORE SPACE rabbits do have times where they do need time appart, I never seperate my rabbits but they do do it themselves, my bambam is known to sit out in the rain and pebbles sits inside the hutch. (I have a full two layer hutch that is permanently connected to a run - only locked up for 9 hours max at night so that we have no dead bunnies)
Too cute! My Mamma Snowy does all of these things. She is my first rabbit companion and she has taught me a lot.
I have 2 bunnies, one netherland dwarf and the other is a lionhead. I had the lionhead since it was 8 weeks old, then a year after we adopted the netherland dwarf which is already neutered. They're both males with same age and we neutered the lionhead at about 4 months old which made him stop marking everything in the house, he's a free roaming in our living room.
After we got the netherland I have to housed them in separate cages which i put side by side and let them roam the living room in turns. Tried to bond them but always end up in a blood shed....... After exactly 1 year together, I finally decided ok I'll let both of them out at same time without my interference, they chased each other for a long time until they got tired and just ignored each other. I did this like 3 times and finally exactly a year, they decided to eat together in one bowl...... the rest is history.
lylah07 I am planning on getting a friend for my male bunny who is neutered and 1 years old, I want to get a female as I see that they tend to get along better, My bunny doesn't stay in his cage as he is always free in the home, how would I introduce them? Thanks in advance
Not sure about female/male bunny bonding, I heard they're easier than male/male bonding. You could probably try to put them together right away and see how they do, if you're lucky they just bond right away. Took mine exactly 1 year to bond, I know too long but it's because they're both territorial, I had to put them on a separate cages side by side and just scheduled their free roaming in the house one by one. They're both bonded now and both free roam in the house.
I tried to force them together, but they always end up fighting and the little netherland always get some bloody bitemarks from my lionhead. Had to separate them a lot of times. Nothing seems to work with them, until exactly one year from meeting each other, I decided to put them again together and they decided to share the bowl of pellets. Maybe they finally got tired of seeing each other with a fence between them hehe.
lylah07 aw thanks for the tips! I'm glad it worked out for you 😍❤️
good luck on your pairing :) my bunnies gives me so much joy and entertainment.
thats a heartwarming story lmao
Loved the information. The first one was very eloquent and knowledgeable in her presentation. The 2nd one got a friend! lol I got a 2nd rabbit for Daisy Delilah the 2nd day after purchasing from the same store. Got a $10 discount for my efforts. Now they are bonded. Actually instantly bonded and it's a joy to watch. Marilyn Monroe is now running around and having a drink. She's very interested in the towel I left outside the cage and knows it's to lie on. We'll see about these gals and they are my little love bugs. So funny and cute. They love going around the cage and the 1st one is a little lover and teaches the 2nd one what to do. The 2nd one is larger and sweet as pie, probably near full grown. They're both dwarf mixes. Marilyn is named that for the spot on her cheek on both sides. The 1st one has freckles and is more mottled looking. I'll try and post some pics or videos of them doing their things. Who knows might even go viral. They are now grooming their paws in unison. Love is in the air. Bunny style
my bunnies bonded after 2 days. the little one wanted to get closer to the big bun. Now they are 2 happy bunny friends. How is it possible for a quick bonding?
After one of my first two rabbit sisters died, I got two rabbit brothers and neutered them. To get the older rabbit used to the two new ones, I had their two pens seperate to each other at first, they were close enough to smell and see each other, then I let just one "party" out at a time, and after a while I let them out together with strict supervision. They were so cute and one in heart and soul. About three years ago someone stole them from their pens in the garden.
I love the longer haired woman, she should be a comedian.
She is. lol.
I didn't recognize her at first, but, yeah I know now.
she is...
She is! She's on invincible Kinmy Schmidt
I must be old. Have none of you ever seen Strangers with Candy? If you haven't, you should.
My rabbits are both female and they are sisters and they have such a strong bond it's adorable. When I first picked them up from the shelter they're always cuddling!!
I'm gonna get 2 rabbits soon and this advice was sooooooo helpful😀
hey! I have two lion-head rabbits, one female and one male. the female is about 8 mounts old and the male is around five mounts. I want them to have children but most importantly be together so that they can enjoy each others company. I usually let them run around the house together and they never fight. But when they are being placed in a cage they get more aggressive. I don't want the male to be on the female too much if it could be harmful to her. What should I do? Thanks!
Love your videos! You both are so knowledgeable and provided me with lots of information!
I have two bunnies. And they don't get along since day one! They are both male. So I replaced their friend with myself making them both mama boys. One licks me on the nose when I give him a kiss on the head before bedtime and the other lays with me and follows me when I have him out. :3 I'm a good bunny owner! Both are 3 years old now and both healthy and happy.
Grell profile picture XD? same
Creeper Katie he's the best transexual on the world OwO
how did you brought them together?
I love these videos! Thank you so much for these! Amy Sedaris and Mary Cotter are perfect. That's all there is to say!
I’m on day three of having my new boy and rn he’s flopped in the litter box sleeping and my girl is sitting next to it like a sweetheart. You shouldn’t have to wait weeks and weeks before introducing them but sometimes it’s necessary but I’m glad everything working out great for me so far so good luck with your bonding
Ha it is taking me 8 months and I'm still trying
rabbit care dang that sucks. That must be so stressful :(( is one of your rabbits aggressive?
@@juliasimpson2284 yes Ethan is aggressive he is really kind and loving and then all of a sudden he changes and he goes aggressive
i have 2 rabbits. and i wanted a female and male and both of them ended up being males. now they keep f each other ;(
Omg... Me too :( What should we doooo?
And they keep biting each other!! But they get along really well sometimes.... Lol
idk bc different cages wont work as soon as they get out they do it anyways
+Vanesa Emerald i let them out one by one so yeah
Vanesa Emerald Get both fixed and look up bonding videos
I was surprised to find out the cost of spay/neutering. I realize it is an important surgery, but knowing that I need to spend $200 each to neuter/spay my current rabbit as well as a second bun, really makes me reluctant to add to my family. That is a real shame because my bunny will remain alone, and my potential second bun remains without a home. It is a shame.
If you adopt a second bunny, most adoption centers or groups have already spayed or neutered their animals.
Cheri Pie That's not true rabbits are exotics in the vet world and require different courses and meetings so their vet care is a lot more expensive than cats or dogs (which are routinely/default studied) anywhere from $100-$500 is a normal cost for a spay but some rescues can help with programs. Like min normally is $250 but my rescue has a program that makes it $65 if I go to a certain vet.
Cheri Pie Then why did you say it like thats the normal price everywhere?
Jennifer Lechleiter I payed 300
Thank you this helped a lot I was about to get a rabbit and I will definitely get 2 now😃😃🐰🐰🐾🐾❤️
Been thinking of getting a friend for Lulu but I don't know. Worried she would be resent the new bunny. We've had her since she was 6 weeks and she's almost 7 now. Your dwarf looks JUST LIKE Lulu!! WOW!!
Thank you this helped me a lot your videos have helped me, with me being a new bunny mom for almost a year now it helps when their is stuff out there like this :-) I Shared
I used to have a bonded pair of house rabbits. The male was a Flemish Giant, and the female was a Norwegian dwarf. He was chilled to the point of being like Lao Tze, but she was more like Bruce Lee. She actually took on one of our cats who was being a bit mean to her, and scared the cat so hard it spent the rest of the weekend on top of the wardrobe and never went near either of the rabbits again.
I built them a little house that doubled as our TV unit. It was a two-tier affect with a little path (a path! a path!) so they had a bedroom on a raised area away from their food, water and toilet.
I miss them both. They were utterly hysterical, and if wasn't for the fact that rabbits will completely destroy you ability to get your deposit back, I'd get them again Best indoor pets ever 🤣
I want to get a rabbit but I've never had one before. Would it be too much to get two at the same time if they are siblings?
I have two rabbits and they are siblings and their fine together. if i were you I would get two rabbits that are siblings because they already know each other=) and its so cute when their together:)
hope this helps:)
+LivKat! Great thanks!!
+Katie Fleming I suggest to get only 1 bunny but if they are siblings then you can go ahead and get the bunnys because they already know each other
if you do be sure they are both fixed
Well you should start with 1 first like I am bc u never know if it's easy or hard to take care of them mines he's like a poop machine. 😷😂😏
I’m getting 2 bunnies, (both girls, about 8 weeks.) they are both sisters, I’m not buying them from a pet store, but from someone who didn’t want them anymore.i can’t waittt
Can spayed and noutered sibling rabbits live together I've been looking for a video on this but couldn't find anything can someone please tell me if they can?
if the siblings have lived with each other since birth then they should be fine
Any rabbit can live with any rabbit as long as they are both neutered and accept each other :-)
Those rabbits are so pretty! My goodness...
Lol I can't even pay attention to what they r saying. The bunnies r so cute lmaooo. No, but I need all the help I can get. I'm getting a second bunny. We r going to get her spayed. Does a girl and a boy rabbit ( both fixed) work best?? Because we are getting a female, but we have one male atm
Awwwww the lionhead is so cute! I might be getting one soon in the same color so im excited!
Thanks so much for the tip recently one of my two females rabbits pass away and I got so sad about it so the other rabbit did the first days she was very sad and scare but now she is doing well I defiantly want to get a friend for her so she won't feel alone and for sure I'm going to follow the advice on this video because I'm so afraid for her to don't get alone with the new body 😁👌🏼🐇🐰
We used to have a pair of sister rabbits at some point when I was a teen. One was black and the other was white. Inside their cage the black one was always very active dragging stuff around and the white wasn't so much.
Then it became summer and we put them outside in the garden. The black one would just sit there, not even searching shade or shelter unless we put her there. The white one would come alive completely, explore the entire garden, and dig a den in the strawberry patch. She could get a hole a metre deep in an afternoon, but would come outside when called and it was time to put them back in their pen.
The white one also learned very quickly where the edge of our garden was and would turn back when we called her but try to sneak into the neighbour's garden if she thought we weren't watching.
The black one still preferred sitting in the grass over being in the pen though and would get out if given the choice. She just didn't seem to have a clue what to do once outside.
They were both fun.
Do what I did and find two bunnies in the pet store who ALREADY get along well and get them as a set.
You shouldn't buy any animals from the pet stores. There are many rabbits (also bonded pairs) at the shelters and they are already fixed.
Not always - there are no rabbits in the shelters where I live. Pet store is the only option.
@@jameseverett4976 naaah pet store is never the only option.
I'm getting a pointy-eared friend for my Holland Lop, Christmas, I hope he likes his new buddy! I think he gets bored all by himself when I'm at school, so this will be a good experience for him. Thanks for the info! I need to make sure I do this right.
+SaraTheMouse You should go to your local rabbit resuce (petfinder can show you local rabbits in rescues) and let your rabbit pick out his friend, a lot of the time two random rabbits will fight but if you give your bun the chance to pick his own friend you'll have a better chance of bonding them. Even if your local rabbit rescue is a little ways away, most rescues will meet with you with rabbits. As long as your rabbit is neutered it should be okay. Research rabbit bonding a lot and try to find a good bonding process for you. Btw I love mangle it's my favorite robot.
Octavia Nakamura Thanks! I'll look into that.
I got a new rabbit today and my old rabbit was attacking it, I thought they would be good friends. :.(
Lies
Have you been next to me at that time huh?
ShadowDragon 1093 no I haven't
I didn't know cause when I got the first old bunny and then I got another old bunny, they were perfectly fine 😔
Just give it time it took mine a month to like each other when I got both my bunnies the older one would attack the new one but now she loves her and can't be with out her :)
I had 2 month old bunnies from the same litter and they liked each other they would cuddle and it was very cute but one died a couple days ago and my other rabbit doesn't seem to be sad at all he still runs around and hops around and jumps on me but I want to know if I should get another one and have 2 again or should I stick with one?
lol eHarmony
LOL eBunny
I agree except with your way of bonding a little bit of nibbling and chasing is normal there working out who’s boss, I would do the side by side thing, then start swapping there toys and litter trays, them take them to a neutral area and let them interact for 5 - 10 minutes keep doing each steps for a few days to a few weeks depending on there personalities.
“Eharmony” 😂😂😂
We have two bunnies and can’t afford to get them spayed or neutered. We think their boys. But they get along very well and are still babies.
can i get a companoin for my male rabbit
Mariska Mashlan i know this is SUPER late, but introducing a rabbit to another can be very difficult
Yes if they are both neutered. It might be easier to get him to bond with a fixed female.
hopefully tomorrow I am getting my two rabbits!! I want to get two females at the same so they are getting used to their new home together. I have a lot of little cousins and I'm nervous that they won't listen to me when. I tell them to back off when they are harming them.... I'm so excited!! I'm naming them Poppy and Sage ❤
Please someone i need a answer i have a pet rabbit 2 of them and they fight i got the new rabbit yesterday and don't now what to do i am scard and mad please if someone tells me i will sub u please i need to now and i don't now if this is going to work i have a baby rabbit and a big one
Tayla Um hmmm is the big one being mean to the little one? maybe the big one feels like hes the boss of him because hes bigger but i dont know alot about rabbits i just got one 3 days ago
As you just said, you got the little one a day before you posted this. It will take weeks. Give them a few days apart and then try again by introducing them slowly over a few weeks.
i agree
Tayla Um You need to bond the rabbits before you can house them together. Look up "how to bond my rabbits" and research. It will take time and patience. Also, consider getting both of them fixed
Hi people thank u or helping they are friends now thanks😊😊 it means so much
Let's just say my sister got a rabbit from a person near us. Sadly the rabbit we got.was separated from his brother when we adopted him because we didn't have the room for both of them..but then my Rabbit died and we reliased the people we got my.sister's rabbit from still had our RABBITS brother left so we decided to adopt him :) after that the two brothers were 'reunited! And became friends once again :D
Am I the only one who things she looks like Kristen Chenoweth?
YOU MEAN, IT"S NOT HER??? :)
My rabbits age is unknown because he’s a rescue but he never leave his hide house even though we have a good bond... I made his pen smaller & bigger but he’s still unhappy in his 7x10 foot cage with a tunnel, 3 hides and plenty toys. I’m not sure if he’s old, needs a friend or is depressed. When I first got him he was pretty happy until a few months later... please help
THESE VIDS ARE AWESOME=)
we got 2 bunny's from a shelter that had been together for years and when we brought them home they started fighting. They are both the same age from the same litter. it is now fine but that is what happened.
That brown rabbit looks like a koala.
anyone else notice all the bunny fur on her sweater? aww
Can you please show us how to open an unlocked door?
The lady on the right reminds me so much of the actress in "strangers with Candy"
It costs me less than $5 a month to take care of my rabby.
Nicholas Meyers WHAT!?
Yay
They are together again
please don't buy, adopt! There are many rabbits waiting for adoption
wow! this was great! we r 2 very happy bunnies... just like urs!♥♥♥ LOVE THE VIDEO. we did everything u said.. but didnt know this info. at the time. IT WORKED OUT PERFECT! constant compliments & comments on how cool we r! (hee hee hop hop hee) ♥
NEVER GET RABBITS WHEN U HAVE A REALLY BIG DOG! THE DOG COULD EAT THE RABBIT=(
my German Shepherd will lay on his bed and let my bunnies climb all over him. and he will just lay there with his "I am so cool" look
My Rottweiler let my bunny climb all over him
Good thing I have shitzu
Or keep them separate 💁🏼 My dogs aren't anywhere near my rabbit.
Corrie Robertson
yea true!
I wanted to have a male lop rabbit with orange, yellow and white fur. I wanted Skippy to have a mix of lop and original rabbits. I thought of naming him after Edd (Double D). He might be neutered after having kids with Skippy.
..it would be good? it is a must! i don't like the woman on the right.. double trouble, double the cost. blabla. don't be so selfish. if u can't afford two, then don't get any! get a hamster instead, a hamster should only live by itself. Bunnies on the other hand shouldn't be denied a companion. they need it! it's a basic need, like water or food. interaction with a human or another animal can't replace that. don't make it out to be an option to have a single bunny. it isn't!
I agree
You're ignoring a bigger reality. If there's 1 bunny in a shelter or cruel pet store, and someone can afford to take it home and take good care of it but can't afford another one, or can't find one to get along with it, would you rather that bunny have a good home as a single bunny, or end up being euthanized [in the shelter] or go to a cruel careless owner [from the pet store]?
If there were plenty of good willing bunny owners to go around I would agree with you, but aren't you being short sighted and careless - and maybe a bit arrogant - in promoting such an idea?
My rabbit got along the minute they met. I have a female 2 month old lion head and a Dutch lip mix who is a male and 2 years old
So it's bad for rabbits to have litters; so it's bad for rabbit's to exist?
+OzziePop What if I want to breed rabbits to sell them?
+4Corry that probably won't be a good idea leave it to the people who work with the pet store. Rabbits can have a new litter every 30 days and do you really want about 50,000 bunnies over the course of 3 years
Abby Walker I'm selling the babies.
+4Corry The problem is that there are literally hundreds of rabbits in rescues already who need homes, so by breeding you're really just adding to the problem, especially if you haven't done the proper research into the lineage of the rabbits you're breeding to make sure that they have healthy and friendly ancestors. The people who are buying your babies could be adopting rescue rabbits instead, and giving homes to rabbits that really need it.
3DGxExLP Whatever.
I have a four month old rabbit and a four month old kitten and they are like best friends c:
It's super duper cute and they play with each other allll the time
gosh, they r ridiculously cute
The brown rabbit is so cute :3
Ps to everyone saying that rabbits and guinea pigs can live together-- IT'S NOT WISE, despite what you may hear. Rabbits are happier with their own kind. (Typically, opposite gender pairs are better when both are fixed, as males will fight with other males). Guinea pigs and rabbits are not even in the same scientific family. Rabbits are hardly ever vocal, whereas, guinea pigs squeak constantly. They also have very different diets, needs, etc. They can't communicate with eachother, as guinea pigs communicate mostly using vocals, and rabbits mostly with body language. Also, guinea pigs are much smaller than most rabbit breeds, and rabbits have extremely sharp nails. If they got into a scuffle, the rabbit could easily kill the guinea pig. Do your research-- if you want your rabbit to have a friend, i suggest getting him another rabbit to play with.
I already own a guinea pig, and sometimes she gets a bit grumpy, so if I don't know the rabbits gender, should I be concerned if it humps the guinea pig? (I heard female guinea pigs can't breed after 6 months, and I had her longer than that.) I think the rabbit is female, she hasn't been very agressive at all, but very nervous.
Rabbits and guinea pigs cant breed- their reproductive systems aren't compatible. So scientifically, they can't breed. But considering how much bigger rabbits are than guinea pigs, a rabbits' humping a guinea pig could result in serious injury or death, so be careful if youre considering putting them together :)
My male rabbit is about three years old. He lives peacefully with dogs and cats. Does he still need a bunny friend? Is it too late to bond him?
You do the work of a saint.
ELF!! Amy was in Elf I knew I recognized her!!
these videos are helpful and very much informational.. I got 2 bunny babbies last week.
One thing that I did before I let mine meet each other is i swapped their pens. That way they can smell each other and be comfortable
I have 2 rabbits. Both females. I got one more today and is just 5 weeks old. When I got home my 2 rabbits started biting and hurting the little rabbit. My 5 week little rabbit has a big cut on her side.
Take it to the vet then, dont just let the cut get infected and tell everyone on youtube! Also, dont put the rabbit with older rabbits until it is big enough to defend its self if it has too. Also, why didnt you break up the fight? Common sense people!
I have two netherland dwarf bunnies, and when I got them, they were so skinny in a small box. The box said "gender unknown". I want to take them to a veterinarian but there isn't one near me. They don't show any strange behavior and get along fine. One is bigger than the other
I got lucky with my buddies. they feel in love right away haha now they follow eachother every where
My bunny lived in my boyfriend's house ever since we bought her but I had to move it.She went to my grandma's house (cause my parents dont want it in the house)and live in an unused bathroom. My grandma goes up there everyday to feed her and clean her up.But she only stays there for 10 mins every day.When I had my bunny in my bfs house we used to play all the time.But now she has lost most of the human contact because I work and I can't visit her every day. Should I buy a friend for my bunny or she is fine alone?thank you
My 6 month old rabbit (female) chases and tries to bite my 7-week old (female too) rabbit. I just got the little one, and I’m trying to get them to bond better.
My other rabbit died yesterday 😭 so I was wondering if mine would get lonely
I have a Netherland dwarf lionhead x and a lop that I'm working on bonding so far so good I have them in the same cage just with a divider in it
so we got two bunnies and was told one was a girl. turns out pepper is a boy. both are boys. they are still very one, one is 4 months the other is 2 and a half. what are the chances of them bonding?
I have a pair of rabbits and they are the exact same breeds as these. They are a bonded pair and have been together since birth, for 3 years together. Yesterday my lionhead passed away 😭 and my netherland has been very sad 😢 even though were getting another.
I have girl two rabbits and they aren't a problem together, they aren't sisters but they came from the same breeder and probably have the same dad
What if you have a very jealous rabbit? My bunny and I have a very intimate bond but due to this she tends to be territorial. She even tries to push humans out of our room when I’m having guests! I think she thinks I’m a bunny because she pushes her body very close to me even when it’s summer as well
I will buy two bunnies, and both comes from the same litter (and from the same cage) and they seem to get along. Should I put them in different cages first or just put it in the same cages? Thanks ;)
new rabbit owner have had a 3 month silk for 4 days , already so obsessed getting a 2nd tmrw
I just got one like the black and white one last week. I named him Oreo. :)
This is helpful. I have a very small Polish buck and a Mini-Satin doe. He’s 3 and she’s 2...they’ve both been fixed so I’m now (slowly) letting them see each other and sniff a bit but only in their individual crates and apart where they can’t bite each other. I guess my problem with this process is when do I know they’re fighting? I don’t want to wait until blood has been drawn...I’m trying to get a sense of when it’s regular bonding and when it’s aggression. More help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
when we priced fixing our rabbit, we were quoted over $400. what's the propper cost of fixing a rabbit?
