My rabbit is indoor, but sometimes people don't have the space or whatever the reason may be, or some are just happier outside. I just want to comment on how CUTE YOUR BUNNIES ARE!
YES finally someone who understands. I completely agree with you. Me and my sister keep our rabbits outside and with the proper care rabbits can do just fine outside and they love it. I would say yes it is easier and sometimes better to keep rabbits indoors because you don't have to worry about it being to hot or cold, or about wild animals, or bugs. But with the proper care they can thrive and do just as good outside as they do inside.
Yes they can thrive and do perfectly fine outside but it is definitely better because just hear me out 1 like you said you won’t worry about the hot or cold because they can die really easily either way 2 they can die simply from being scared and there more vulnerable to that outside 3 I think they should be free roamed because if you think about it if you have a teacup dog even tho it’s just a teacup would you put a dog in a cage? Would u put it in a “rabbit hutch?” I would it seems like she has lots of room for them to play but still
@PupcrazytalesYT who sold you that idea? Petsmart? Petco? Rabbits/bunnies live, breed, and thrive outdoors as they have naturally for thousands of years. If you want to bring them in, that’s your choice. It’s goes the same for dogs, chickens, cats, hamsters, mice, reptiles, fish, literally anything. If you can replicate and create a safe and interactive enclosure for them, they can live a long happy life outdoors just as they can inside. Education goes a long way
I totally AGREE with you Vera. I keep my bunny outside and he grew a beautiful ,fluffy fur during winter. He really loves being outside and he is protected with a beautiful roof over his head. Great job, beautiful and spacious cage. keep going!
I think it’s great that your bunnies are outside. My rabbits were always outside, but one thing that concerns me is the wire fencing is quite large and predators could get in through that you might want to get a wire a small square inch fencing to go over what you presently have
My rabbit lives outside [waiting to actually build my hutch before adding another] he was so depressed until he started living outside. I also got depressed and angry with him when he was living inside. Our bond is so much stronger now having him outside.
@PupcrazytalesYT They are not. The only differences between wild and domestic rabbits are superficial/appearance-based. Their digestive system and behaviours are incredibly similar. Outdoor rabbits (if housed in appropriately sized, predator-proof enclosures) have the opportunity to act on natural instincts a lot more than inside rabbits. Rabbits need to dig and explore and being outside gives them vastly more opportunities to do that. Being on grass/dirt is better for the alignment of their feet. All the rabbits I've had live outside have been more active and alert and excitable. They love sunbathing. They love feeling the breeze. They love watching the rest of the world go by. A diet comprised of more grass is actually better for their guts and rabbits who eat more grass than hay have less kidney/calcium problems. There's natural foraging in most gardens. I also find there are less hazards outside than inside. We also tend to keep our homes too warm for rabbits. Of course, there are exceptions to this and if your rabbits cant be vaccinated or the climate is just too hot/cold (I live in the UK where it rarely gets above 30C and 20C is considered a pretty hot day) I wouldn't recommend keeping them outside. However, I believe that when it's an option, its a very good option that shouldn't be shamed. rabbitwelfare.co.uk
@HowlingTales #roadto1k indoors animals? Are you CRAZY??!! Every cat is happiest when it can roam outside. The same goes for dogs. Animals get depressed when they are indoors all the time! Lennon the bunny is a spoiled city girl with no idea about what nature even is.
@HowlingTales #roadto1k Lennonthebunny keeps a rabbit on its own. That's real animal cruelty. She has the most stupid excuses but the fact is: rabbits NEED at least another RABBIT as a companion. Keeping rabbits outside in a safe and fenced-in area like this is completely fine and you obviously have no idea about animals or rabbits for that fact. A HARNESS for a rabbit? Most stupid thing I ever heard.
I keep my bunnies outside too and they are very happy 😊. I just have two tips: use a closed secure cardboard box or proper carry box for transporting and a a small fence that you can step over where you walk in through the door to stop them getting out but overall great video.
Hi dear friend I take that you’re right Lennon the bunny it’s not right I don’t have space in my house to put my bunny and I don’t even have my bunnies yet but I’m gonna get them next month maybe but my dad said and I’m gonna make him a big enclosure for them my dad is getting up a boy baby rabbit and I’m getting a girl baby rabbit my sister is getting 10 Fish 🐠 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 I told you 10 fish
I was suprised how many people on youtube say you are a bad owner when u keep the buns outside. Me personally have always kept mij little friends outside. Also most people here in the netherlands keep them outside. When its really really cold we get them indoors en take them outside when the temp is good enough. Thanks for the video!
I recently got bunnies and the guy that have them to us has always kept them outside and has never had a problem, except with foxs a while back but he reenforced their area and it's all good now. We're keeping them outside too! Can't give them as good as a home inside. They've got plenty of shade plus hiding spots. They love it
We've an indoor bun free roam and it's hard in winter as heating he gets to hot so we all are cold. Bunnies dint do the heat well. But he's epileptic so is special needs
The choice of inside or outside is all yours. Rabbits have a very thick coat, one of the thickest clothing coats. They are not 'made' to live indoors, in the wild they also survive well in the open air. Of course you can also keep them indoors, but don't worry that they can't stand the weather. It is important to pay attention to the rabbits that are outside in very hot and very cold weather. I myself keep the rabbits outside all year round with some winter protection and this works fine (for 10+ years). Suppose you buy a rabbit for outside, then it is wise to check beforehand whether the rabbit is used to being outside or not. Rabbit fur isn't just for fun, it actually has a function. And what harm does fresh air do? Again, the choice is yours, just know that both options are very possible and will do no harm.
@@mr.phoenix8691totally agree. Popele who say they can’t i bet they haven’t even tried it and they are listening to creepy people on the internet who knows nothing about rabbits.
I keep my bun inside! But honestly your bunny care is amazing. The pen is super large they have lots of toys and seem to be take man care of very well!
I love lennonthebunny and all of my bunnies are inside but I think it’s fine for rabbits to be outside especially if they’re called for and have a safe place for them to be!! Your bunnies are really happy and you have a lot of space for them!
Lennon is a city bunny. He couldn’t live outside if he wanted to so Lorelei teaches indoor rabbit doctrine because she has probably never had anything to compare it to. Personally, I think the indoor vs outdoor debate is silly. It’s all about what works for the bunny and owner.
@@timothytherealenglishspot9613 it honestly does depend on breeds too Bc some have less fur and some have a lot. You don’t have a bunny with bearly any fur living outside during winter and you don’t want bunny with so much hair living outside in the heat. Also depends on how safe the enclosure is.
I didn't know this was so debated. In my culture animals stay outside too. We used to have 5 rabbits that did great outdoors. It wasn't until I started researching recently that I realized how fragile the internet makes rabbits out to be. If I never had them, I'd assume they'd drop dead over the slightest illness but ours were never sick. I'm from the Caribbean so they only came inside for hurricanes. If I got a rabbit, sure I'd keep in indoors (cause I'm a hermit and barely go out) but your enclosure is waaaay bigger than 90% of the indoor rabbit spaces I've seen. P.S the netting on the ground is genius!!
Caribbean is a pretty warm place. You can't leave a rabbit out in -5 degree weather...so it really depends on where you live and also the purpose of keeping your rabbit. Up in new england winters are harsh and summers are humid. So the get thick coats to try to protect during winter but then can't shed them fast enough before the eighty degree weather comes so they die of heat stroke. We keep ours in an outside enclosure during nice spring, summer, and fall days. But during the hard months of winter we bring them inside. And also on horribly hot humid days we bring them inside. They are litterbox trained, making cleaning inside and outside a breeze, and we don't leave hay all winter for bedding. It also really depends on how you clean up after your animals too if a smell is a problem inside. But we have five. Some cultures also brought ALL their livestock inside for winter and created barns, stalls, and even spots by the homestead fire. I bet if that dad owned a dog...he would be inside ....and trained...also people up here keep them in bulk outside for meat, fur, or breeding purposes and they either don't live long enough anyways, or get sold fast.
Totally agreed with you. The real and honest truth animal are meant to be outside, with natures, not like us living all our entire life in 4 walls. As long as you keep them safe and warm during the winter like this lady on her video. Animal inside a house is not their natural habitat period.
House rabbits are supposed to be free roamed in the house tho. Like cats. If someone is keeping their bunny contained full time (whether in an entire room or xpen), that's a failure of bunny ownership imo.
@Splashstorm04 what if you want to adopt a senior rabbit that isn't litter box trained and likes chewing everything? Theirs a reason why barn cats exist as shelter adopt out cats that can't live as house pets as they will pee on everything. It's a case by case thing.... birds shouldn't be caged ether. I'd have them free run in my whole house but I have dogs so the compromise is my budgies get a whole room to themselves 24/7
I hadn’t realize this was such a topic amongst rabbit owners. My bunny I had in the past did great out doors, we built his hutch in the back yard, he was very happy. In the summer or winter if it was super hot / cold he would come inside, and stay In his little area I had for him when needed. But he was very content in life
I completely agree with you! There is such an overpopulation of rabbits and so many get euthanized every year. If you can give them a great life outdoors so they are safe, comfortable, happy and healthy then that is all that matters!! The alternatives of euthanasia or being stuck in a small space or cage indoors is unhumane. Bunny proofing your entire home and having a bunny living doors is not always possible but you can still provide a great life for them. I love the space you provide to your buns and they are obviously happy with all those binkies & zoomies!
Finally someone who understands! I 100% agree with you it is completely normal to keep bunnies outside as long is it is a safe and healthy habitat and your very careful! But its also fine to keep the inside it depends on the bunny and the country you live in Thanks for understanding! 😊
RAbbits have thick fur and it makes sense to be outdoor as long as you provide proper shelter away from sun, heat, wetness, wind, or extreme cold. They definitely need hidey box to burrow in when it gets cold. Use hay, straws, or even paper bedding to keep them warm and toasty 7:40 is a happy bunny !
@PupcrazytalesYT they can just not as well as most animals. Speaking from experience, rabbits can do just fine without supplementary cooling in temps up to 80F (this may very depending on breed and condition) and when adding precautions for Tempe turns higher mine have done just fine up to 105F
@@jacobhughes563 Rabbit life expectancy is based on breed. Like a dogs lifespan is. Most outdoor rabbits are meat mutts and have a shorter lifespan, it has to do with genetics, not care. Your data is flawed, or you just cant interpret it. Pedigree breeds typically are reserved for indoors as pets and have the longer life expectancy, hence the pedigree breed. You wont really see someone putting a $300 bunny outdoors full time, that's more than i paid for my cat. My dog will likely only live to be 8-10 years old based on genetics but I've had dogs live to be 14-18, am i neglecting him? See how dumb that sounds.
I whole-heartedly agree with this. As long as dogs or cats won't torment them from outside the cage. I was walking my rabbit and a dog on the other side of the fence ran towards us excitedly, gave my poor rabbit a scare that almost took his life. Rabbits are sensitive creatures so we have to make them feel secure, I'm glad you're able to make your rabbits feel safe and loved outside.
I agree with you that bunnies can live outside happily and healthy. I have two bunnies (one is 5.5 yrs and the other is 3.5, turning 4 this month) that aren't able to live in our house but live in our climate controlled garage (it's basically indoor/outdoor) and they're very happy in the garage. They seem to hate going outside, so most of the time they're kept in the garage. Your bunnies look very happy and healthy living outside.😍 We live in the Midwestern U.S. and it's usually warm here during the Summer and cold during the Winter. We use a space heater during the Winter to keep the garage warm for the bunnies and a large fan during the Summer. We unfortunately don't have any vaccines available for rabbits yet where I live, so I usually just prevent bugs by cleaning out the bunnies' litter boxes frequently and setting up natural fly traps with vinegar and apple cider in a bottle.
I’m so happy they are happy🥰! I’m pretty sure what Lennon is trying to get across is that keeping inside is just much more safer and decreases the chance of death, she gets across that domestic rabbits die much easier than wild rabbits and are very much different. (Just want to say I love how much you care about them!😍)
I was going crazy trying to find a build that I could do, to keep bunnies outside and not in a metal cage. So thank you, finally someone with the same mindset.
We have chickens and rabbits outside! I had a bunny as a kid that lived outside for 14 years! We bring them inside to play and cuddle then they go back outside!
I have 9 bunnies in a 8' x5' cage and they love it, they make a mess when they are in our house by throwing litterboxs and food and one of our rotweilers trys playing and gets to rough. As soon as we built them a pen outside with 3 different coops and a big dig box, 2 litter box's tons of stuffed toys, wooven baskets and balls, pinecones etc with 2 huge hay bags and we give them pumpkins and gourds we grow in the fall. We see them playing together, grooming each other and binkying all the time, it just depends on your location for weather a proper winterized cage that's predator proofed, along with the bunnie and amount of time spent with them. I have them out everyday playing inside or on the lawn so they are happy:)
I would like to do this but dont have any knowledge on whether i can keep all the females together and all the males together in seperate area. Cant afford to spay and neuter 16 bunnies. Can you share your thoughts on this?
Ive had my rabbit since she was small, her enclosure has always been inside of my room. I’ve been debating about putting her outside but after seeing this I am definitely going to take it up about having her outside
I love this message little sister. I just got into keeping rabbits through a friend and quickly found out how strange people behave when you don't keep bunny rabbits like children. keep doing what you doing little sis. I got you back. subdya. Guava!😉
@PupcrazytalesYT #roadto1k Rabbits have originated from being outside and yes they are prey animals but where I live most ppl keep there bunnies outside as ,ong as it is secure its completely fine!and everyone has different opinions pls don't disrespect that :)
@HowlingTales #roadto1k how many hours have you spent in the comment section of this video alone? Get a life. Rabbits are perfectly fine outside. There are 1million ways that being indoors can also kill a rabbit. Get over yourself.
Thank you for this! I always had bunnies and can't keep them inside, because space... (also the chewing and cats and dogs) And they always loved it outside! I had some of them inside when they were ill and what I noticed they are definitely more social torwads me when they are indoors. Outside they are too, but a little more "skittish"(like picking them up). But they still come when u call and stuff. But could never keep them inside forever. They just love it outdoors 💕
Exactly. Free Roaming/Keeping them indoors is an OPTION. Having your bunny outside may not work FOR YOU, but the bunnies are obviously happy and have plenty of space.
For the longest time, I disagree with having your bunny outside! You changed my mind! My bunny (moose) hates outside, so ig the outside thing isn’t for him :/ I think outside and inside set ups is literally based on your rabbit. I will definitely subscribe
I moved and had my two inside for a month. I put them back outside in a run like yours today and immediate zoomies and binkies. Im worried as I live in the middle of a circle of houses, and everyone’s pets seem to visit my yard, but I think it’s pretty secure.
I came across this video as I am in the process of moving my bunnies to an outdoor enclosure. I've learned they really are meant to be more in their natural environment and will still be loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing!
Hilarious at people saying it's wrong to keep animals outside 🤣 These are probably the same goofy people buying sweaters for their dogs and rolling them around in carriages smh
I owe 4 bunnies that live inside and have their own room. But i absolutely love what you've done and their so happy out there. Here in Houston it gets soooooo hot i can't even be outside much less them. Keep up the great work. You're doing amazingly 👏 ❤
personally i feel like keeping bunnies outside depends on the bunnies, some bunnies love the outdoors and some dislike it so as long as the bunny is fine outside i think it’s ok. personally, my bunny absolutely hates the outdoors but i’ve met some that prefer being outside
In the wild bunnies are outdoors my two bunnies stay in a hutch outside and they have all day in the garden with the hutch and my back door open so they have the choice to free roam my house but they don’t come in and when I bring them in they run straight back out.
@@VideoToons51 no its not I used to have my rabbits inside and they just got so much happier when they were out side and I have had them out for 5 years and they have never even seen a fox
I have an indoor bunny because he's epileptic and needs watching and more care but I give him plenty of play put time daily free in enclosed garden and he has dig garden/ herb garden but I find the issue of him inside is I have too keep heating to a bare minimum as rabbits don't do warm too well so that bits hard plus bunny proofing but it's dependent on the bunny I guess and the situation. I couldn't leave mine outside incase he had seizures I need to know right away to treat him
I guess it really depends. In Massachusetts it gets very cold and blistery up here with noreasters and blizzards, with wet and below freezing temps that would kill a rabbit fast.and they grow thick coats in preparation for that, so they don't shed them fast enough before regrowing them, and duering swelteringly humid summer days the temp reaches over 90 and feels like 110. That will give a rabbit heatstroke. You can give hidey holes and help build underground havens for them to get cool relief but it doesn't always work. And a hutch gets hot in the shade. We keep our outside on temperate days but bring them inside at night and also durring heat waves and also below 20 degrees. They are littertrained, making indoor and outdoor cleaning a breeze. And they were trained not to chew on things they were not supposed to by making sure they always had chew toys and things to destroy and knew what they were. They also zoomie and binky through the entire house. We have five. Two girls and three boys...all altered and living cohesively. I guess it's also how much effort you put into teaching your animals. You wouldn't leave a dog in all sorts of weather up here. You would consider the breed and type of dog before attempting to even leave them out all day while at work. People still see rabbits as live stock, right next to your chickens. And as livestock rabbits were meant to be eaten, i mean they didn't use anything else, besides fur. So rabbits were not intended to be alive for long and hence left out of doors, untrained. Even though we took that rabbit and bred it into existence for what we wanted it for. Now we have to pay for that and treat them like the dogs we bread into existence for our own purposes too. There are just lots of considerations before you leave your pets outside away from your companionship...we had rabbits as kids that my parents left outside and we were never allowed to bring them out to play with, and they never lasted over two years...all they were fed were store bought pellets too...our rabbits get grown food and pellets once a day and hay to hearts content. It's really i guess who controls how you keep your pets too
The only problem with keeping certain animals and doing reasearch about them is that everyone has different OPINIONS on pet care. And you kind of have to figure out who's opinion you agree with most. i love lennon the bunny. Lorelei provides MANY amazing FACTS in her videos but a couple OPINIONS that me and other people don't agree with 100%.
This makes me happy. As a kid I had bunnies outside. Now my son wants a bunny or 2 & everything I see online says to keep them inside. Yes inside setups can be super cute (like what Lennon shows) but my house doesn't have room for something like that & free roam sounds dangerous (& kind of yucky). Thank you for showing a great outdoor pen & how simple it is to maintain. 😊
Hello! I was wondering, how cold does it get there, and how can I keep my outside rabbits warm? They are technically outside bunnies because they live on my wrap around enclosed porch. And keeping them cool in the summer? I’ve seen ice packs sold online.
I do watch lennon the bunny but I don't agree they should live inside because bunny need to be outside they are more joyful when they are outside all animals need to be outside.
Yes they can be joyful outside, I take my rabbit out about once a month supervised, but letting them live there 24/7 is a lot they can get scared to death by a predator or get hyperthermia if they get to wet, or disease, fleas, tics and much more. I get her point, she said they are destructive, yes but you can bunny proof if you give them enough attention they won’t feel the need to destroy anything, if you think it’s smells, it’s not the rabbit it the litter box rabbits really dont have a smell. I personally don’t agree with leaving them outside if she wants them to live a long life I would bring them indoors but they are her responsibility not mine I don’t get to tell her what to do.
I used to watch Lennon and get so stressed because I cannot do what she does for my rabbit. Then I tried one time in my basement with a large area. And he was so depressed. He hates being inside. I tried my backyard deck and loves it! In the winter I keep him in the garage and again he has so much space to hide and I provide him with hay since he can’t eat the dandelions and grass outside, again rabbits love being outdoors they’re exotic animals…
My house bunny gets free roam in my house where he lives and eats breakfast on my couch with my husband and I each morning. He also sleeps safely on our m bed at night. Bunnies are basically cats. Cats don't belong outdoors either, and neither belong in cages.
They appear happy, and I am not commenting about if they are inside or outside. However, dropping a bunny like that could easily have been a like threatening injury. They can break their backs very easily. If your sister doesn't know how to carry them, maybe she shouldn't help with that part. I don't know if you mentioned if they are fixed, but male bunnies who are not fixed can be aggressive with each other and it can cause painful injuries and death.
Keeping outside is better for bunnys feet. And they can do holes and do all bunny things better. I have my bunnys inside for now but when i move better house i will set them out. Them will be so much happier outside. No fear of electic stuff. And here in Finland in winter can be -30 outside and bunnys survive cause they will get winter coats. And ofcourse has warm vinter houses. In Finland its really common that bunnys lives in horse stables or other barns outside. Everyone has their own opinions and ways take care of animals. Who wouldnt have the best for their pets? All good for you and chikens&bunnies❣️
I've always kept rabbits outside, they stink, not a nice smell to have inside your home. And like you said they can cause a lot of damage to your house, the pen you have seems to be a great big cage, I don't see anything wrong with it. As far as I can see you've got the cage really secure, you're doing a great job, there's more than one way to properly house rabbits, and you're doing an amazing job. I look forward to seeing future videos.
If you feel like your rabbit stinks they are most likely not having their litter box cleaned frequently or they may not even have a litter box. If you have 5 or more rabbits that's a lot for anyone to have to deal with and yes, it will be stinky. If you have a lot of ANY animal it will be stinky. I have 2 indoor rabbits that are fixed and litter trained and I have never had a problem with smell. I am also an an exotic veterinarian in training and don't personally agree with housing rabbits outdoors. I also own a rabbit rescue and have seen terrible accidents with rabbits outdoors. This woman obviously has a secure set up where she feels her rabbits are safe but most people won't go the length she has to build an outdoor secure area for them. An indoor playpen with a large litter box is the cheaper and safer option as hutches are smaller and get dirty more frequently (which makes the bunny appear smelly.) It is always the environment that is smelly, not the animal. I've seen rabbits get pulled out of cages by stray cats, large birds including owls and road runners. They have gotten GI stasis and their owner wasn't aware, etc. There are many risks and they are prey animals. If you would like an outdoor animal it would be better to find a predatory animal that would feel more comfortable living outdoors. Bunnies aren't for everyone and that's completely okay, that's what makes them exotic pets.
Rabbits do not have a scent, it’s the litter box that gets smelly not the rabbits if the house is getting smelly is because of the litter box. If you wanna own a rabbit it is your responsibility to change they’re litter box at least three times a week if not then more times a week. And leaving a rabbit out side it not good for them at all. Even if the cage/ enclosure you are putting the rabbits in is really sturdy thy can still die. Rabbits are so gentle and fragile that they can die just by seeing a predator outside their cage if you keep your rabbits outside I encourage you to move them indoors and if you cannot free roam them you can get a Xpen or just bunny proof it’s the same thing as dog proofing or cat proofing bunnies are just as destructive as cats and dogs. They chew, they poop on the floor and much more but that is just because they mark they’re territory you can get your bunnies spayed or neutered.
@@atlantisfaye2722 I never had a litter box for my rabbits, just a cage and some floor time, and I realize the rabbits don't have the odor it's the urine and feces, we don't have space enough for 5 buns to live in the house, their cage is a 3x8 ft, with 2 floors, we've always kept our buns outside and never had a problem. But because we do get fox, coyote, and raccoons we make sure the cages and enclosures are predator proof, We don't mess around with our buns safety, I know to some this will never be the right choice, but to me keeping them in my house isn't the right choice, we have pet dogs that would attack the buns, so it just wouldn't work,
Yep totally agree, Rabbits are perfectly happy living outside, as long as they have space to run and company......far more natural and stimulating for them. you have a good set up and clearly care for them well....Good job❤
Wild Rabbits thrive in the area I'm from in England. Pet rabbits do too. Lennon the bunny only has her perspective living in a hot area of the US and she has no other experience.
So far I have seen none of them. I groom them with a flea comb about every day and wipe them off with some wet wipes. I haven't seen anything. But there are plenty of flea and tick sprays for bunnies online
It just depends on where you live I have 9 bunnies outdoors and never had a problem but I keep there are a super clean also I spray all around and in there pen with a bunnie safe bug repellent just for extra assurance
They seem soooo happy and happy! I love the chicken wire at the bottom to keep out ground animals. These are happy babies! I do recommend using bleach or vinegar to clean any green spots inside their house. Of course you need to rinse after and let it dry before returning the hutch to the area. I love the walk-in headroom allowing you to easily enter to clean. If ever you feel you need more protection, place pallets along the outside walls. You're taking very good care of them❤
Hello! I love that your bunnies do binkies, and love the outside! I honestly keep rabbits inside because it gets super cold most of the year where i live. But I do have one question, Do you have a bond with your rabbits? Or are they just animals?
Every time we come out to feed, groom or give treats. It's the sweetest. They both have their own unique personality 😂 Barney also will jump on your shoulder if he is on a higher level and will just chill there🥺 I appreciate your comment, thank you🥰
I actually love this idea even though mine is inside I love the amount of space they have and it’s great that there is more than one so they won’t be lonely and wild rabbits live outside anyway so this is the same only better because they have an enclosure with plenty of food
Wow this was a great video I’m from bougie Southern California and we’ve been keeping our two bunnies inside my daughters room in an x-pen that’s 4 x 6 for a long time but I was thinking of building a massive X pen maybe double the size in my garage. I think that they would thrive also my daughter would still bring them inside to free roam the house like they like to do supervised of course.
I totally agree. They are animals. Being outside is perfectly fine. If you take the time to make sure they are secure. And in a cage where they are protected from the elements and predators. Then you are good. I have raised rabbits for many years and never had a problem with either. My rabbits preferred being outside. If you are the kind of owner who doesn't make sure it's safe and spend time with them every day. Making sure their area is clean, they have the proper food and all their needs are met. Then you have no business have an animal of any kind. Indoors or out.
I think it is both good, but you could bunny-proof the baseboards and then it would not be a problem... But i am so happy that i finally found a youtuber that thinks the same about housing rabbits outdoors! I have wire IN the ground, so they can dig about 50 centimeters, and they really enjoy digging! There is a more stable temperature, so that is better in both summer and winter. I also let them play outside and they love it!
So I like Lennon’s channel and all, but I also don’t agree with some of her opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and has their own experiences though, which means ours is valid as well. I’ve raised rabbits about 16 years now, and even though I’ve only had a few as indoor pets they’ve all been loved and cared for. I do breed for show, and enjoy assisting in the creation and ARBA recognition of the teddywidder breed. That does not mean my rabbits live in nasty, dirty cages and aren’t taken care of. They all get out to play, have good sized cages, and I don’t overbreed my does. They get toys, fresh veggies and hay, as well as groomed and held/petted everyday. Your hunnies are well taken care of, they have amazing homes. And my indoor bunny I have LOVES being outside, she loves being with the other bunnies as well. I’m sick of keyboard warriors coming down on videos and people like you. I’m 34, and I don’t care anymore what other people say and think. Keep your head up, stick to your own thoughts. There will always be someone like that in your life
Yeah it isn’t just her saying that. I agree with the other side. Rabbits should be indoor pets or going in and out the house. And you have a homestead. For all I know your rabbits are livestock. I’m pretty sure people are referring to pet rabbits being indoor. I think one of the reasons for indoor rabbits is to separate them from livestock rabbits. Pets can be indoors, but livestock can’t. Rabbits (with spayed/neutered, litter train and bunny proofing) can stay indoors. Bunnies will still poop outside the litter, but fixing them reduces that. Plus rabbit poop is not as gross and smelly as dog or cat poop.
Her "reasons" were basically "they belong outside cuz they're aaaanimaaals". That is how you speak of livestock, not pets. Domesticated animals (pets) and wild animals are about as much alike as you and cave dwelling Cro-Magnon. I keep seeing "they stink" as an argument to keep them outside. If you think a certain pet stinks too much for your house, don't get that pet or maybe a pet at all?
These people that get easily offended. Don't live in the real word. Lennon the Bunny is really sensitive about rabbits. She thinks people shouldn't eat them. Rabbits natural habitat is outside. Rabbits are not a dog or a cat. I find it so strange that people keep them as house pets.
I think it's a North American thing because North American rabbits carry diseases pet rabbits have no defenses against, because they're European. Everyone keeps them outside in the UK
We have a fenced in backyard and we let our Flemish giant rabbits free roam the yard, they do great even in the winter! They have 3 different hutches that are always stacked up with hay and either have a roof or covered with a tarp. We also have a deck that they like to crawl under. They absolutely love it. When we get a lot of snow sometimes I worry about them and I’ll try to get them inside but they hate it inside and will continue to play in the snow instead 😂
All I give my rabbits is a 2m hutch and I’m not 100% sure if I’m doing something wrong so any suggestions would be great, given that I don’t have a very big backyard and I keep my rabbits in the shade. I haven’t adopted the rabbits yet so I want some advice before I get them so I’m ready when they do come, and I’m not allowed to bring my rabbits inside until they are fully litter trained. Any advice on my current housing plan would be great 😊
I completely agree with keeping your rabbits or rabbit outside. And obviously with the right care. Like she has a huge space for them to roam around in and she has PLENTY of hayfor them! I love everything avout it. I love how she cares for them. The rabbits must be very very lucky to have her as a mom!💜
IF they are cared for well, have weather protection, and consistent deworming and vaccinations. In the US, vaccines aren't something we can get for rabbits, so its not worth risking them dying of preventable disease tbh.
What about cold weather though? They can't survive in cold weather and find it very uncomfortable when in weather under 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This is what I worry about when I leave my own rabbits out in their outdoor enclosure 😟
They actually do alot better in cold weather them hot. As they do grow thick coats. And as long as they have a shelter stuffed with hay where they can keep out from any drafts
I 100-percent agree with you rabbits and guinea pigs belong outside my grandfather believe that and so do I they do thrive outside my guinea pigs love the outdoors if I brought them indoors they would stink the house out and my dogs would continuously chase them and they get scared with everything
Please keep in mind the area you live in, some countries or states have extreme weatgervconditions which are too difficult to manage and it's best buns are inside. There is nothing wrong with keeping rabbits indoors. They're safer, have plenty of room if kept correctly and you get to interact with them more. Saying that, nothing wrong with keeping buns outside EXCEPT in extreme temperatures which unfortunately is happening more and more. Of course a hutch us not enough. Saying that I would not leave hayball winter long on the ground, so much damptge fencing also looks like mice, rats and other critters can get through. Using the God created them isn't a valid reason just because u are religious doesn't mean everyone is. lol. Having the option of outside enclosures does mean more room. 1/4 aviary wire is much safer to use and has a stronger gauge. While it's a lovely setting but definitely some improvements needed. Also use a cat carrier to transport them from A to B. My opinion u can agree or disagree. They are deffo happy buns.
When I was asked by a friend if I wanted to adopt a bunny because the owners where rarely home because of work and he was in a small dog kennel most of the time, I said yes without hesitation. I live on a small 3 acre farm and I have chickens and cats at the time a few dogs and a horse. I started Moon inside and that was fine..he played with my cats and the dogs let him do his thing... but when i saw there were two bunnies dumped in the park I took them on too... and the same day my friend also found a dumped bunny... three weeks later there were 4 bunnies living in my basement. Moon my male bunny was neutered but a few weeks later one of my bunnies (who I call Lennon) after Lennon the Bunny had 4 babies. Needless to say 8 was getting a little crazy and once one of the boy buns grew up he decided he was going to jump a fence land on his face, rip up his lip and impregnate the bunny my friend found.... twice. Even though I watched lennon the bunny and all the other shows you talked about too... and thought I really shouldn't put them outside.... I had no choice. At the same time my friend who rescued two bunnies from a fishtank... a small one. she decided to raise her bunnies with her chickens... which actually worked out great and they all got along and snuggled together... yes.. snuggled. Now that all my bunnies are outside and in barns they hang with my chickens an my cats... because neutering is over $700 canadian now... i do have to keep my females separate from them and sometimes separate my male bunnies if they start to fight. So far my set up is working out but this year I am taking ideas from other outdoor bunny owners and making some upgrades. I love this pen you have and I will definitely be doing something similar in the near future because as the boys have been getting older their are more fights than normal. I agree that if you can do the indoor bunny and in works... kudos! But if you can't and you give them the proper care and the proper housing like yours here. I agree that they can thrive! obviously you buns are supper happy! those were some pretty adorable binkies and zoomies! Thank you for sharing!
I have a hutch the size of your chickens hutch for my 2 bunnies most people probably don’t like it but I’m planning to expand if I can cuz it’s my parents house well sorry Lennon the bunny but not everyone has the chance to keep them inside the thing that matters is food and love ❤❤
It's wrong to bathe them. They we're lightly wet from the rain and grass. But it's only on the outside layer of their thick fur:) it was almost the same thing as wiping them with pet wet wipes. But thank you! I'll do my best to keep them off wet grass🙌
How did you build your big rabbit pen? And how did you your rabbits not get parasites or any other bugs on them? I have to get rabbits soon for my school ffa thingy and I want my rabbits to be able to run around and exercise instead of being in the hutch all day long.
I want to build a rabbit home outside but want to put the wire or something deep under the dirt so the can make tunnel and stuff to live in when ready to breed isn’t that possible vs buying homes for them ?
I keep my bunnies outside also, I live in England it never gets too cold or too hot so that's not something we generally have to worry about. There is nothing they love more than running free and digging in our back garden
I agree on this 100%!! Besides, though I love Lennon the bunny & the channel she's always home to constantly clean. When you have Indoor rabbits even with bunny proofing everything, etc. They potty constantly & sometimes causes not only the rabbits, but ppl breathing Issues over time. Animals just like ppl need a healthy amount of sunshine & outdoors.
Keep doing what your doing girl. God intended nature to be outside with nature 🙌 Rabbits actually adapt really well if they have trust in you which yoir babies clearly do or they wouldn't be zooming around doing binkys. 😉
How often do you do this deep cleaning? Is it like an every day job or once a week? Or can you go longer between cleanings? Also, how do you keep it from getting gross and wet when it rains…wouldn’t rain water come in from the walls?
The idea that rabbits *can't* be outside is a little funny, considering that that's how 95% of people keep rabbits! Most people with outdoor rabbits keep them in unheated, un-air-conditioned barns, but this setup is very very nice! Not all breeds are suited for outdoor life - just like not all dog breeds can stay outside. There are rabbits and rabbit breeds that can't stay outside, like how Angoras, who have such heavy coats that they overheat *very* easily and therefore much prefer an air conditioned setting if you live in warm climates, should usually be kept indoors, but other rabbits are perfectly fine outside. Just like how a Chihuahua wouldn't be happy as an outdoor-only dog, but a Great Pyrenees sheep guardian is meant to live outside full-time, with its sheep! I keep English Angoras as house pets, but your outdoor bunnies look very happy and well-cared for!
The funnies part to me is when people say “rabbits were bred to be indie animals” but they say that to the people that breed them OUTSIDE (like my self)
Your bunny enclosure is one of the best, very well done! Rabbits are totally capable to live outdoors, that's what they've been doing for millions of years, don't worry about it.
Loved watching the whole process of how you went through cleaning. Gives a great picture of what this all involves especially good discipline on your part!
Lets get something constructive comment :) the only 2 thinks i may owerthink is the size of the holes in the mesh. Maybe use something smaler. I dont know were you live and what kind of hunter there are but a rat or a wiesel maybe can come through and hurt or kill the bunnies. I could see it right but a plate under the hole cage would prevent lager animals to dig there way in. And thats the only major thinks i see. Good job! :)

@Bryce Jaxon happy to help =)
My rabbit is indoor, but sometimes people don't have the space or whatever the reason may be, or some are just happier outside. I just want to comment on how CUTE YOUR BUNNIES ARE!
Thank you sm!!
YES finally someone who understands. I completely agree with you. Me and my sister keep our rabbits outside and with the proper care rabbits can do just fine outside and they love it. I would say yes it is easier and sometimes better to keep rabbits indoors because you don't have to worry about it being to hot or cold, or about wild animals, or bugs. But with the proper care they can thrive and do just as good outside as they do inside.
Yes they can thrive and do perfectly fine outside but it is definitely better because just hear me out 1 like you said you won’t worry about the hot or cold because they can die really easily either way 2 they can die simply from being scared and there more vulnerable to that outside 3 I think they should be free roamed because if you think about it if you have a teacup dog even tho it’s just a teacup would you put a dog in a cage? Would u put it in a “rabbit hutch?” I would it seems like she has lots of room for them to play but still
@@Me_Caity you make very valid points and I completely see where your coming from. 👍
@@user-jb3oj5kw6w 👍
Thank you people who agree 🙏
@PupcrazytalesYT who sold you that idea? Petsmart? Petco? Rabbits/bunnies live, breed, and thrive outdoors as they have naturally for thousands of years. If you want to bring them in, that’s your choice. It’s goes the same for dogs, chickens, cats, hamsters, mice, reptiles, fish, literally anything. If you can replicate and create a safe and interactive enclosure for them, they can live a long happy life outdoors just as they can inside. Education goes a long way
You can tell that they’re happy by their zooms and binkies. So cute 🤩
That’s because she cleaned the area. lol
I totally AGREE with you Vera. I keep my bunny outside and he grew a beautiful ,fluffy fur during winter. He really loves being outside and he is protected with a beautiful roof over his head. Great job, beautiful and spacious cage. keep going!
I think it’s great that your bunnies are outside. My rabbits were always outside, but one thing that concerns me is the wire fencing is quite large and predators could get in through that you might want to get a wire a small square inch fencing to go over what you presently have
My rabbit lives outside [waiting to actually build my hutch before adding another] he was so depressed until he started living outside. I also got depressed and angry with him when he was living inside. Our bond is so much stronger now having him outside.
Same with me it just stresses me out with my bun inside and I live on a ranch so it’s not that bad cleaning his compared to horses cages😂😂
My last rabbit, she was way more active and happy living outside than when she was inside.
@PupcrazytalesYT They are not. The only differences between wild and domestic rabbits are superficial/appearance-based. Their digestive system and behaviours are incredibly similar. Outdoor rabbits (if housed in appropriately sized, predator-proof enclosures) have the opportunity to act on natural instincts a lot more than inside rabbits. Rabbits need to dig and explore and being outside gives them vastly more opportunities to do that. Being on grass/dirt is better for the alignment of their feet. All the rabbits I've had live outside have been more active and alert and excitable. They love sunbathing. They love feeling the breeze. They love watching the rest of the world go by. A diet comprised of more grass is actually better for their guts and rabbits who eat more grass than hay have less kidney/calcium problems. There's natural foraging in most gardens. I also find there are less hazards outside than inside. We also tend to keep our homes too warm for rabbits.
Of course, there are exceptions to this and if your rabbits cant be vaccinated or the climate is just too hot/cold (I live in the UK where it rarely gets above 30C and 20C is considered a pretty hot day) I wouldn't recommend keeping them outside. However, I believe that when it's an option, its a very good option that shouldn't be shamed.

@HowlingTales #roadto1k indoors animals? Are you CRAZY??!! Every cat is happiest when it can roam outside. The same goes for dogs. Animals get depressed when they are indoors all the time! Lennon the bunny is a spoiled city girl with no idea about what nature even is.
@HowlingTales #roadto1k Lennonthebunny keeps a rabbit on its own. That's real animal cruelty. She has the most stupid excuses but the fact is: rabbits NEED at least another RABBIT as a companion.
Keeping rabbits outside in a safe and fenced-in area like this is completely fine and you obviously have no idea about animals or rabbits for that fact.
A HARNESS for a rabbit? Most stupid thing I ever heard.
I keep my bunnies outside too and they are very happy 😊. I just have two tips: use a closed secure cardboard box or proper carry box for transporting and a a small fence that you can step over where you walk in through the door to stop them getting out but overall great video.
Hi dear friend I take that you’re right Lennon the bunny it’s not right I don’t have space in my house to put my bunny and I don’t even have my bunnies yet but I’m gonna get them next month maybe but my dad said and I’m gonna make him a big enclosure for them my dad is getting up a boy baby rabbit and I’m getting a girl baby rabbit my sister is getting 10 Fish 🐠 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 I told you 10 fish
I was suprised how many people on youtube say you are a bad owner when u keep the buns outside. Me personally have always kept mij little friends outside. Also most people here in the netherlands keep them outside. When its really really cold we get them indoors en take them outside when the temp is good enough.
Thanks for the video!
I recently got bunnies and the guy that have them to us has always kept them outside and has never had a problem, except with foxs a while back but he reenforced their area and it's all good now. We're keeping them outside too! Can't give them as good as a home inside. They've got plenty of shade plus hiding spots. They love it
We've an indoor bun free roam and it's hard in winter as heating he gets to hot so we all are cold. Bunnies dint do the heat well. But he's epileptic so is special needs
How do you guys prevent them from digging out?
@@ignatriuslongola9045You can put non chewable wiring/rocks/such underneath some layers of the flooring of the hutch
The choice of inside or outside is all yours. Rabbits have a very thick coat, one of the thickest clothing coats. They are not 'made' to live indoors, in the wild they also survive well in the open air. Of course you can also keep them indoors, but don't worry that they can't stand the weather. It is important to pay attention to the rabbits that are outside in very hot and very cold weather.
I myself keep the rabbits outside all year round with some winter protection and this works fine (for 10+ years). Suppose you buy a rabbit for outside, then it is wise to check beforehand whether the rabbit is used to being outside or not.
Rabbit fur isn't just for fun, it actually has a function. And what harm does fresh air do? Again, the choice is yours, just know that both options are very possible and will do no harm.
EXACTLY!!!
I totally agree!
@@mr.phoenix8691totally agree. Popele who say they can’t i bet they haven’t even tried it and they are listening to creepy people on the internet who knows nothing about rabbits.
I keep my bun inside! But honestly your bunny care is amazing. The pen is super large they have lots of toys and seem to be take man care of very well!
I love lennonthebunny and all of my bunnies are inside but I think it’s fine for rabbits to be outside especially if they’re called for and have a safe place for them to be!! Your bunnies are really happy and you have a lot of space for them!
Cared*
@@giadamico4347 I respect you for respecting both opionions
Lennon is a city bunny. He couldn’t live outside if he wanted to so Lorelei teaches indoor rabbit doctrine because she has probably never had anything to compare it to. Personally, I think the indoor vs outdoor debate is silly. It’s all about what works for the bunny and owner.
@@timothytherealenglishspot9613 it honestly does depend on breeds too Bc some have less fur and some have a lot. You don’t have a bunny with bearly any fur living outside during winter and you don’t want bunny with so much hair living outside in the heat. Also depends on how safe the enclosure is.
i think having your rabbit inside is better then outside.And i love lennon the bunny to
I didn't know this was so debated. In my culture animals stay outside too. We used to have 5 rabbits that did great outdoors. It wasn't until I started researching recently that I realized how fragile the internet makes rabbits out to be. If I never had them, I'd assume they'd drop dead over the slightest illness but ours were never sick. I'm from the Caribbean so they only came inside for hurricanes.
If I got a rabbit, sure I'd keep in indoors (cause I'm a hermit and barely go out) but your enclosure is waaaay bigger than 90% of the indoor rabbit spaces I've seen.
P.S the netting on the ground is genius!!
I appreciate your comment 🥰🙌
Caribbean is a pretty warm place. You can't leave a rabbit out in -5 degree weather...so it really depends on where you live and also the purpose of keeping your rabbit. Up in new england winters are harsh and summers are humid. So the get thick coats to try to protect during winter but then can't shed them fast enough before the eighty degree weather comes so they die of heat stroke. We keep ours in an outside enclosure during nice spring, summer, and fall days. But during the hard months of winter we bring them inside. And also on horribly hot humid days we bring them inside. They are litterbox trained, making cleaning inside and outside a breeze, and we don't leave hay all winter for bedding. It also really depends on how you clean up after your animals too if a smell is a problem inside. But we have five. Some cultures also brought ALL their livestock inside for winter and created barns, stalls, and even spots by the homestead fire. I bet if that dad owned a dog...he would be inside ....and trained...also people up here keep them in bulk outside for meat, fur, or breeding purposes and they either don't live long enough anyways, or get sold fast.
Totally agreed with you. The real and honest truth animal are meant to be outside, with natures, not like us living all our entire life in 4 walls. As long as you keep them safe and warm during the winter like this lady on her video. Animal inside a house is not their natural habitat period.
House rabbits are supposed to be free roamed in the house tho. Like cats. If someone is keeping their bunny contained full time (whether in an entire room or xpen), that's a failure of bunny ownership imo.
@Splashstorm04 what if you want to adopt a senior rabbit that isn't litter box trained and likes chewing everything?
Theirs a reason why barn cats exist as shelter adopt out cats that can't live as house pets as they will pee on everything. It's a case by case thing.... birds shouldn't be caged ether. I'd have them free run in my whole house but I have dogs so the compromise is my budgies get a whole room to themselves 24/7
I hadn’t realize this was such a topic amongst rabbit owners. My bunny I had in the past did great out doors, we built his hutch in the back yard, he was very happy. In the summer or winter if it was super hot / cold he would come inside, and stay In his little area I had for him when needed. But he was very content in life
oh yes this is such a topic 😅
What did you do for a floor? I need it baresoil, so how to prevent them from digging out?
I completely agree with you! There is such an overpopulation of rabbits and so many get euthanized every year. If you can give them a great life outdoors so they are safe, comfortable, happy and healthy then that is all that matters!! The alternatives of euthanasia or being stuck in a small space or cage indoors is unhumane. Bunny proofing your entire home and having a bunny living doors is not always possible but you can still provide a great life for them. I love the space you provide to your buns and they are obviously happy with all those binkies & zoomies!
you can free roam them in the house though🙄
@@vfam5860stop listening to weird crap from Lennon the bunny she’s just making up stuff
@@vfam5860if you want chewed power cords everywhere
Finally someone who understands! I 100% agree with you it is completely normal to keep bunnies outside as long is it is a safe and healthy habitat and your very careful! But its also fine to keep the inside it depends on the bunny and the country you live in Thanks for understanding! 😊
RAbbits have thick fur and it makes sense to be outdoor as long as you provide proper shelter away from sun, heat, wetness, wind, or extreme cold. They definitely need hidey box to burrow in when it gets cold. Use hay, straws, or even paper bedding to keep them warm and toasty 7:40 is a happy bunny !
@PupcrazytalesYT they can just not as well as most animals. Speaking from experience, rabbits can do just fine without supplementary cooling in temps up to 80F (this may very depending on breed and condition) and when adding precautions for Tempe turns higher mine have done just fine up to 105F
Indoor rabbits last 8 to 14 years. Outside rabbits last 3 to 6 years...... so you tell me which is better......
@@jacobhughes563 Rabbit life expectancy is based on breed. Like a dogs lifespan is. Most outdoor rabbits are meat mutts and have a shorter lifespan, it has to do with genetics, not care. Your data is flawed, or you just cant interpret it. Pedigree breeds typically are reserved for indoors as pets and have the longer life expectancy, hence the pedigree breed. You wont really see someone putting a $300 bunny outdoors full time, that's more than i paid for my cat. My dog will likely only live to be 8-10 years old based on genetics but I've had dogs live to be 14-18, am i neglecting him? See how dumb that sounds.
@howlingtalesroadto1k551oh no so i should be inside too for the rest of my life and stay in my house because of bugs
@howlingtalesroadto1k551and hot weather
I whole-heartedly agree with this. As long as dogs or cats won't torment them from outside the cage. I was walking my rabbit and a dog on the other side of the fence ran towards us excitedly, gave my poor rabbit a scare that almost took his life. Rabbits are sensitive creatures so we have to make them feel secure, I'm glad you're able to make your rabbits feel safe and loved outside.
I agree with you that bunnies can live outside happily and healthy. I have two bunnies (one is 5.5 yrs and the other is 3.5, turning 4 this month) that aren't able to live in our house but live in our climate controlled garage (it's basically indoor/outdoor) and they're very happy in the garage. They seem to hate going outside, so most of the time they're kept in the garage. Your bunnies look very happy and healthy living outside.😍
We live in the Midwestern U.S. and it's usually warm here during the Summer and cold during the Winter. We use a space heater during the Winter to keep the garage warm for the bunnies and a large fan during the Summer. We unfortunately don't have any vaccines available for rabbits yet where I live, so I usually just prevent bugs by cleaning out the bunnies' litter boxes frequently and setting up natural fly traps with vinegar and apple cider in a bottle.
I’m so happy they are happy🥰! I’m pretty sure what Lennon is trying to get across is that keeping inside is just much more safer and decreases the chance of death, she gets across that domestic rabbits die much easier than wild rabbits and are very much different. (Just want to say I love how much you care about them!😍)
I was going crazy trying to find a build that I could do, to keep bunnies outside and not in a metal cage. So thank you, finally someone with the same mindset.
We have chickens and rabbits outside! I had a bunny as a kid that lived outside for 14 years! We bring them inside to play and cuddle then they go back outside!
You are a great bunny mom! So impressed with your work ethic at your age. Great job, your bunnies are lucky to have you. 😊
I have 9 bunnies in a 8' x5' cage and they love it, they make a mess when they are in our house by throwing litterboxs and food and one of our rotweilers trys playing and gets to rough. As soon as we built them a pen outside with 3 different coops and a big dig box, 2 litter box's tons of stuffed toys, wooven baskets and balls, pinecones etc with 2 huge hay bags and we give them pumpkins and gourds we grow in the fall. We see them playing together, grooming each other and binkying all the time, it just depends on your location for weather a proper winterized cage that's predator proofed, along with the bunnie and amount of time spent with them. I have them out everyday playing inside or on the lawn so they are happy:)
I would like to do this but dont have any knowledge on whether i can keep all the females together and all the males together in seperate area.
Cant afford to spay and neuter 16 bunnies.
Can you share your thoughts on this?
Ive had my rabbit since she was small, her enclosure has always been inside of my room. I’ve been debating about putting her outside but after seeing this I am definitely going to take it up about having her outside
I love this message little sister. I just got into keeping rabbits through a friend and quickly found out how strange people behave when you don't keep bunny rabbits like children. keep doing what you doing little sis. I got you back. subdya. Guava!😉

Thank you for this! I always had bunnies and can't keep them inside, because space... (also the chewing and cats and dogs)
And they always loved it outside!
I had some of them inside when they were ill and what I noticed they are definitely more social torwads me when they are indoors. Outside they are too, but a little more "skittish"(like picking them up). But they still come when u call and stuff.
But could never keep them inside forever. They just love it outdoors 💕
I keep my 3 rabbits outside in a 10x10 pen and they love it. Never had any escapes and they do well in their burrow for winter and summer!
Exactly. Free Roaming/Keeping them indoors is an OPTION. Having your bunny outside may not work FOR YOU, but the bunnies are obviously happy and have plenty of space.
For the longest time, I disagree with having your bunny outside! You changed my mind! My bunny (moose) hates outside, so ig the outside thing isn’t for him :/ I think outside and inside set ups is literally based on your rabbit. I will definitely subscribe
Thank you so much!!
just because your bunny does not like outside dont mean you cant keep him out side all my animals live outside even my dog
@Heavenly cloud I agree!
You hate the outside not the rabbit
I moved and had my two inside for a month. I put them back outside in a run like yours today and immediate zoomies and binkies.
Im worried as I live in the middle of a circle of houses, and everyone’s pets seem to visit my yard, but I think it’s pretty secure.

either can work. Just because they aren't in their "natural habitat" doesn't mean they aren't happy
Happy healthy bunnies. From what I can see, you take really good care of them and the chickens. Subscribed. 😊
Hilarious at people saying it's wrong to keep animals outside 🤣
These are probably the same goofy people buying sweaters for their dogs and rolling them around in carriages smh
I owe 4 bunnies that live inside and have their own room. But i absolutely love what you've done and their so happy out there. Here in Houston it gets soooooo hot i can't even be outside much less them. Keep up the great work. You're doing amazingly 👏 ❤
personally i feel like keeping bunnies outside depends on the bunnies, some bunnies love the outdoors and some dislike it so as long as the bunny is fine outside i think it’s ok. personally, my bunny absolutely hates the outdoors but i’ve met some that prefer being outside
Uhh it’s better to keep inside ok
In the wild bunnies are outdoors my two bunnies stay in a hutch outside and they have all day in the garden with the hutch and my back door open so they have the choice to free roam my house but they don’t come in and when I bring them in they run straight back out.
@@VideoToons51 in the wild they stay outside so no there nit inside animals but it’s fine if u keep urs indoors.
@@VideoToons51 no its not I used to have my rabbits inside and they just got so much happier when they were out side and I have had them out for 5 years and they have never even seen a fox
I have an indoor bunny because he's epileptic and needs watching and more care but I give him plenty of play put time daily free in enclosed garden and he has dig garden/ herb garden but I find the issue of him inside is I have too keep heating to a bare minimum as rabbits don't do warm too well so that bits hard plus bunny proofing but it's dependent on the bunny I guess and the situation. I couldn't leave mine outside incase he had seizures I need to know right away to treat him
I guess it really depends. In Massachusetts it gets very cold and blistery up here with noreasters and blizzards, with wet and below freezing temps that would kill a rabbit fast.and they grow thick coats in preparation for that, so they don't shed them fast enough before regrowing them, and duering swelteringly humid summer days the temp reaches over 90 and feels like 110. That will give a rabbit heatstroke. You can give hidey holes and help build underground havens for them to get cool relief but it doesn't always work. And a hutch gets hot in the shade. We keep our outside on temperate days but bring them inside at night and also durring heat waves and also below 20 degrees. They are littertrained, making indoor and outdoor cleaning a breeze. And they were trained not to chew on things they were not supposed to by making sure they always had chew toys and things to destroy and knew what they were. They also zoomie and binky through the entire house. We have five. Two girls and three boys...all altered and living cohesively. I guess it's also how much effort you put into teaching your animals. You wouldn't leave a dog in all sorts of weather up here. You would consider the breed and type of dog before attempting to even leave them out all day while at work. People still see rabbits as live stock, right next to your chickens. And as livestock rabbits were meant to be eaten, i mean they didn't use anything else, besides fur. So rabbits were not intended to be alive for long and hence left out of doors, untrained. Even though we took that rabbit and bred it into existence for what we wanted it for. Now we have to pay for that and treat them like the dogs we bread into existence for our own purposes too. There are just lots of considerations before you leave your pets outside away from your companionship...we had rabbits as kids that my parents left outside and we were never allowed to bring them out to play with, and they never lasted over two years...all they were fed were store bought pellets too...our rabbits get grown food and pellets once a day and hay to hearts content. It's really i guess who controls how you keep your pets too
The only problem with keeping certain animals and doing reasearch about them is that everyone has different OPINIONS on pet care. And you kind of have to figure out who's opinion you agree with most. i love lennon the bunny. Lorelei provides MANY amazing FACTS in her videos but a couple OPINIONS that me and other people don't agree with 100%.
This makes me happy. As a kid I had bunnies outside. Now my son wants a bunny or 2 & everything I see online says to keep them inside. Yes inside setups can be super cute (like what Lennon shows) but my house doesn't have room for something like that & free roam sounds dangerous (& kind of yucky). Thank you for showing a great outdoor pen & how simple it is to maintain. 😊
Great work with your happy, healthy, buns!
Hello! I was wondering, how cold does it get there, and how can I keep my outside rabbits warm? They are technically outside bunnies because they live on my wrap around enclosed porch. And keeping them cool in the summer? I’ve seen ice packs sold online.
I do watch lennon the bunny but I don't agree they should live inside because bunny need to be outside they are more joyful when they are outside all animals need to be outside.
Yes they can be joyful outside, I take my rabbit out about once a month supervised, but letting them live there 24/7 is a lot they can get scared to death by a predator or get hyperthermia if they get to wet, or disease, fleas, tics and much more. I get her point, she said they are destructive, yes but you can bunny proof if you give them enough attention they won’t feel the need to destroy anything, if you think it’s smells, it’s not the rabbit it the litter box rabbits really dont have a smell. I personally don’t agree with leaving them outside if she wants them to live a long life I would bring them indoors but they are her responsibility not mine I don’t get to tell her what to do.
i dont agree with the “all animals” are outside animals.
There are some animals like Guinea pigs hamsters mice and rats that have to live indoors
I used to watch Lennon and get so stressed because I cannot do what she does for my rabbit. Then I tried one time in my basement with a large area. And he was so depressed. He hates being inside. I tried my backyard deck and loves it! In the winter I keep him in the garage and again he has so much space to hide and I provide him with hay since he can’t eat the dandelions and grass outside, again rabbits love being outdoors they’re exotic animals…
Those rabbits are happier in that outside cage than they would ever be in a tiny cage inside a house
you’re not supposed to keep them in a cage anyway
This is common sense, isn’t it?
lol that's why you don't keep them in a cage. end of story.
Mine leaves in my whole houses doesn’t have a cage… but pop off
My house bunny gets free roam in my house where he lives and eats breakfast on my couch with my husband and I each morning. He also sleeps safely on our m bed at night. Bunnies are basically cats. Cats don't belong outdoors either, and neither belong in cages.
Happiest Buns! Great set up, great job taking care of them! 2 blessed buns!
They appear happy, and I am not commenting about if they are inside or outside. However, dropping a bunny like that could easily have been a like threatening injury. They can break their backs very easily. If your sister doesn't know how to carry them, maybe she shouldn't help with that part. I don't know if you mentioned if they are fixed, but male bunnies who are not fixed can be aggressive with each other and it can cause painful injuries and death.
they don't even want to be near you if you had them indoors they would rather be with you
Well, who cares, they have each other and you don't really need to bond with them, they're happy and thats what matters
Wrong they would rather be outside
Rabbits belong outside
period outdoor housing can be supper beneficial id done properly!
Keeping outside is better for bunnys feet. And they can do holes and do all bunny things better. I have my bunnys inside for now but when i move better house i will set them out. Them will be so much happier outside. No fear of electic stuff. And here in Finland in winter can be -30 outside and bunnys survive cause they will get winter coats. And ofcourse has warm vinter houses. In Finland its really common that bunnys lives in horse stables or other barns outside. Everyone has their own opinions and ways take care of animals. Who wouldnt have the best for their pets? All good for you and chikens&bunnies❣️
I've always kept rabbits outside, they stink, not a nice smell to have inside your home. And like you said they can cause a lot of damage to your house, the pen you have seems to be a great big cage, I don't see anything wrong with it. As far as I can see you've got the cage really secure, you're doing a great job, there's more than one way to properly house rabbits, and you're doing an amazing job. I look forward to seeing future videos.
Thank you very very much! You are awesome;)
If you feel like your rabbit stinks they are most likely not having their litter box cleaned frequently or they may not even have a litter box. If you have 5 or more rabbits that's a lot for anyone to have to deal with and yes, it will be stinky. If you have a lot of ANY animal it will be stinky. I have 2 indoor rabbits that are fixed and litter trained and I have never had a problem with smell. I am also an an exotic veterinarian in training and don't personally agree with housing rabbits outdoors. I also own a rabbit rescue and have seen terrible accidents with rabbits outdoors. This woman obviously has a secure set up where she feels her rabbits are safe but most people won't go the length she has to build an outdoor secure area for them. An indoor playpen with a large litter box is the cheaper and safer option as hutches are smaller and get dirty more frequently (which makes the bunny appear smelly.) It is always the environment that is smelly, not the animal. I've seen rabbits get pulled out of cages by stray cats, large birds including owls and road runners. They have gotten GI stasis and their owner wasn't aware, etc. There are many risks and they are prey animals. If you would like an outdoor animal it would be better to find a predatory animal that would feel more comfortable living outdoors. Bunnies aren't for everyone and that's completely okay, that's what makes them exotic pets.
@@atlantisfaye2722 thank you for this!🙌 This was alot of great information 💛
Rabbits do not have a scent, it’s the litter box that gets smelly not the rabbits if the house is getting smelly is because of the litter box. If you wanna own a rabbit it is your responsibility to change they’re litter box at least three times a week if not then more times a week. And leaving a rabbit out side it not good for them at all. Even if the cage/ enclosure you are putting the rabbits in is really sturdy thy can still die. Rabbits are so gentle and fragile that they can die just by seeing a predator outside their cage if you keep your rabbits outside I encourage you to move them indoors and if you cannot free roam them you can get a Xpen or just bunny proof it’s the same thing as dog proofing or cat proofing bunnies are just as destructive as cats and dogs. They chew, they poop on the floor and much more but that is just because they mark they’re territory you can get your bunnies spayed or neutered.
@@atlantisfaye2722 I never had a litter box for my rabbits, just a cage and some floor time, and I realize the rabbits don't have the odor it's the urine and feces, we don't have space enough for 5 buns to live in the house, their cage is a 3x8 ft, with 2 floors, we've always kept our buns outside and never had a problem. But because we do get fox, coyote, and raccoons we make sure the cages and enclosures are predator proof, We don't mess around with our buns safety, I know to some this will never be the right choice, but to me keeping them in my house isn't the right choice, we have pet dogs that would attack the buns, so it just wouldn't work,
Yep totally agree, Rabbits are perfectly happy living outside, as long as they have space to run and company......far more natural and stimulating for them. you have a good set up and clearly care for them well....Good job❤
Wild Rabbits thrive in the area I'm from in England. Pet rabbits do too. Lennon the bunny only has her perspective living in a hot area of the US and she has no other experience.
yeah im from Ireland and my rabbits love being outside they are so much happier
I’m in the us and
i keep rabbits outside so i disagree with you, but, if you keep an ice bottle out there they are fine.
@@ruth-sb1jhi love Ireland
@@ruth-sb1jhand yes my rabbit is outside too and he’s the happiest rabbit ever
So how often do you clean their hutch? And how often do you change the main flooring hay? New to bunnies
What do you do about fleas and ticks? I’m wanting to have my bunnies outside as well, but I’m worried about fleas. Hope you see this comment!!
So far I have seen none of them. I groom them with a flea comb about every day and wipe them off with some wet wipes. I haven't seen anything. But there are plenty of flea and tick sprays for bunnies online
Yeah I was questioning if there were any specific shots or anything you had to give them to be outside
It just depends on where you live I have 9 bunnies outdoors and never had a problem but I keep there are a super clean also I spray all around and in there pen with a bunnie safe bug repellent just for extra assurance
They seem soooo happy and happy! I love the chicken wire at the bottom to keep out ground animals. These are happy babies! I do recommend using bleach or vinegar to clean any green spots inside their house. Of course you need to rinse after and let it dry before returning the hutch to the area. I love the walk-in headroom allowing you to easily enter to clean. If ever you feel you need more protection, place pallets along the outside walls. You're taking very good care of them❤
Hello! I love that your bunnies do binkies, and love the outside! I honestly keep rabbits inside because it gets super cold most of the year where i live. But I do have one question, Do you have a bond with your rabbits? Or are they just animals?
Every time we come out to feed, groom or give treats. It's the sweetest. They both have their own unique personality 😂 Barney also will jump on your shoulder if he is on a higher level and will just chill there🥺 I appreciate your comment, thank you🥰
I keep my rabbits outside too and i have a huge bond with them!
@@nisr1677i hate it when people say that indoor rabbits are “happier” actually, rabbits who are forced to be house rabbits are very sad and depressed
Those binkies and zoomies are adorable! 😍 I think their kennel looks amazing!
I actually love this idea even though mine is inside I love the amount of space they have and it’s great that there is more than one so they won’t be lonely and wild rabbits live outside anyway so this is the same only better because they have an enclosure with plenty of food
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP LISTENING TO CREEPY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET
Wow this was a great video I’m from bougie Southern California and we’ve been keeping our two bunnies inside my daughters room in an x-pen that’s 4 x 6 for a long time but I was thinking of building a massive X pen maybe double the size in my garage. I think that they would thrive also my daughter would still bring them inside to free roam the house like they like to do supervised of course.
That sounds like an awesome idea!! You’re cool for doing that for your daughters 💪🏼
I respect both ways of keeping Rabbits because both of them have their pros and cons.
Its bad to keep your bunny outside
@@VideoToons51 leaving them alone in a room isnt? Rabbit are outdoor animal, they love outdoor.
I totally agree with this
@@VideoToons51 wrong
@Salma Mansour wrong
I totally agree. They are animals. Being outside is perfectly fine. If you take the time to make sure they are secure. And in a cage where they are protected from the elements and predators. Then you are good. I have raised rabbits for many years and never had a problem with either. My rabbits preferred being outside.
If you are the kind of owner who doesn't make sure it's safe and spend time with them every day. Making sure their area is clean, they have the proper food and all their needs are met. Then you have no business have an animal of any kind. Indoors or out.
I think it is both good, but you could bunny-proof the baseboards and then it would not be a problem... But i am so happy that i finally found a youtuber that thinks the same about housing rabbits outdoors! I have wire IN the ground, so they can dig about 50 centimeters, and they really enjoy digging! There is a more stable temperature, so that is better in both summer and winter. I also let them play outside and they love it!
Those bunnies are extremely happy and healthy lol. This is beautiful
So I like Lennon’s channel and all, but I also don’t agree with some of her opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and has their own experiences though, which means ours is valid as well. I’ve raised rabbits about 16 years now, and even though I’ve only had a few as indoor pets they’ve all been loved and cared for. I do breed for show, and enjoy assisting in the creation and ARBA recognition of the teddywidder breed. That does not mean my rabbits live in nasty, dirty cages and aren’t taken care of. They all get out to play, have good sized cages, and I don’t overbreed my does. They get toys, fresh veggies and hay, as well as groomed and held/petted everyday. Your hunnies are well taken care of, they have amazing homes. And my indoor bunny I have LOVES being outside, she loves being with the other bunnies as well. I’m sick of keyboard warriors coming down on videos and people like you. I’m 34, and I don’t care anymore what other people say and think. Keep your head up, stick to your own thoughts. There will always be someone like that in your life
Yeah it isn’t just her saying that. I agree with the other side. Rabbits should be indoor pets or going in and out the house.
And you have a homestead. For all I know your rabbits are livestock. I’m pretty sure people are referring to pet rabbits being indoor. I think one of the reasons for indoor rabbits is to separate them from livestock rabbits. Pets can be indoors, but livestock can’t. Rabbits (with spayed/neutered, litter train and bunny proofing) can stay indoors. Bunnies will still poop outside the litter, but fixing them reduces that. Plus rabbit poop is not as gross and smelly as dog or cat poop.
Her "reasons" were basically "they belong outside cuz they're aaaanimaaals". That is how you speak of livestock, not pets. Domesticated animals (pets) and wild animals are about as much alike as you and cave dwelling Cro-Magnon. I keep seeing "they stink" as an argument to keep them outside. If you think a certain pet stinks too much for your house, don't get that pet or maybe a pet at all?
dont bunnies like live outside normally, like why are ppl so offended
These people that get easily offended. Don't live in the real word. Lennon the Bunny is really sensitive about rabbits. She thinks people shouldn't eat them. Rabbits natural habitat is outside. Rabbits are not a dog or a cat. I find it so strange that people keep them as house pets.
@@LittleImpaler i can understand both sides of the stories, but if you bunnies are happy outside i see no problem lol
I think it's a North American thing because North American rabbits carry diseases pet rabbits have no defenses against, because they're European. Everyone keeps them outside in the UK
We have a fenced in backyard and we let our Flemish giant rabbits free roam the yard, they do great even in the winter! They have 3 different hutches that are always stacked up with hay and either have a roof or covered with a tarp. We also have a deck that they like to crawl under. They absolutely love it. When we get a lot of snow sometimes I worry about them and I’ll try to get them inside but they hate it inside and will continue to play in the snow instead 😂
I totally agree people try to humanize pets to much! This is beautiful and natural for bunnies 😍
All I give my rabbits is a 2m hutch and I’m not 100% sure if I’m doing something wrong so any suggestions would be great, given that I don’t have a very big backyard and I keep my rabbits in the shade. I haven’t adopted the rabbits yet so I want some advice before I get them so I’m ready when they do come, and I’m not allowed to bring my rabbits inside until they are fully litter trained. Any advice on my current housing plan would be great 😊
I completely agree with keeping your rabbits or rabbit outside. And obviously with the right care. Like she has a huge space for them to roam around in and she has PLENTY of hayfor them! I love everything avout it. I love how she cares for them. The rabbits must be very very lucky to have her as a mom!💜
Thank you🥺♡
I just moved my rabbits outside. They were inside for the winter until the outside got nice enough to build their hutch they are already pretty happy
I COMPLETELY AGREE with keeping rabbits outside. It benifits them and us lol
IF they are cared for well, have weather protection, and consistent deworming and vaccinations. In the US, vaccines aren't something we can get for rabbits, so its not worth risking them dying of preventable disease tbh.
How does it benefit you?
@@azyhewilliams7198 so they won’t get the house dirty
What about cold weather though? They can't survive in cold weather and find it very uncomfortable when in weather under 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This is what I worry about when I leave my own rabbits out in their outdoor enclosure 😟
They actually do alot better in cold weather them hot. As they do grow thick coats. And as long as they have a shelter stuffed with hay where they can keep out from any drafts
Hey i was wondering where you get the big hay bales like that and also love your shirt
Thanks! From tractor supply a wrapped bale of Timothy is around 20$ and lasts a very long time
I 100-percent agree with you rabbits and guinea pigs belong outside my grandfather believe that and so do I they do thrive outside my guinea pigs love the outdoors if I brought them indoors they would stink the house out and my dogs would continuously chase them and they get scared with everything
Well only if you live somewhere it’s really cold all the time but otherwise keep them indoors
Guinea pigs don’t do well in any hot temperatures
I like this a lot!
What do you do with them in the winter time ?
How often do you clean ?
Please keep in mind the area you live in, some countries or states have extreme weatgervconditions which are too difficult to manage and it's best buns are inside. There is nothing wrong with keeping rabbits indoors. They're safer, have plenty of room if kept correctly and you get to interact with them more. Saying that, nothing wrong with keeping buns outside EXCEPT in extreme temperatures which unfortunately is happening more and more. Of course a hutch us not enough. Saying that I would not leave hayball winter long on the ground, so much damptge fencing also looks like mice, rats and other critters can get through. Using the God created them isn't a valid reason just because u are religious doesn't mean everyone is. lol. Having the option of outside enclosures does mean more room. 1/4 aviary wire is much safer to use and has a stronger gauge. While it's a lovely setting but definitely some improvements needed. Also use a cat carrier to transport them from A to B. My opinion u can agree or disagree. They are deffo happy buns.
When I was asked by a friend if I wanted to adopt a bunny because the owners where rarely home because of work and he was in a small dog kennel most of the time, I said yes without hesitation. I live on a small 3 acre farm and I have chickens and cats at the time a few dogs and a horse. I started Moon inside and that was fine..he played with my cats and the dogs let him do his thing... but when i saw there were two bunnies dumped in the park I took them on too... and the same day my friend also found a dumped bunny... three weeks later there were 4 bunnies living in my basement. Moon my male bunny was neutered but a few weeks later one of my bunnies (who I call Lennon) after Lennon the Bunny had 4 babies. Needless to say 8 was getting a little crazy and once one of the boy buns grew up he decided he was going to jump a fence land on his face, rip up his lip and impregnate the bunny my friend found.... twice. Even though I watched lennon the bunny and all the other shows you talked about too... and thought I really shouldn't put them outside.... I had no choice. At the same time my friend who rescued two bunnies from a fishtank... a small one. she decided to raise her bunnies with her chickens... which actually worked out great and they all got along and snuggled together... yes.. snuggled. Now that all my bunnies are outside and in barns they hang with my chickens an my cats... because neutering is over $700 canadian now... i do have to keep my females separate from them and sometimes separate my male bunnies if they start to fight. So far my set up is working out but this year I am taking ideas from other outdoor bunny owners and making some upgrades. I love this pen you have and I will definitely be doing something similar in the near future because as the boys have been getting older their are more fights than normal. I agree that if you can do the indoor bunny and in works... kudos! But if you can't and you give them the proper care and the proper housing like yours here. I agree that they can thrive! obviously you buns are supper happy! those were some pretty adorable binkies and zoomies! Thank you for sharing!
It’s a much better set up than I had when I was a girl raising bunnies. That’s an awesome set up. I’m very impressed you’re doing good.❤
I have a hutch the size of your chickens hutch for my 2 bunnies most people probably don’t like it but I’m planning to expand if I can cuz it’s my parents house well sorry Lennon the bunny but not everyone has the chance to keep them inside the thing that matters is food and love ❤❤
Do your bunny’s get ANY veggies?
Twice every day:)
Never will I complain about how much cleaning out I have to do with Billy. You do a job and a half every morning!!
Just be careful it’s not good for bunny’s to get wet
It's wrong to bathe them. They we're lightly wet from the rain and grass. But it's only on the outside layer of their thick fur:) it was almost the same thing as wiping them with pet wet wipes. But thank you! I'll do my best to keep them off wet grass🙌
The bunnies outside my house, play in the rain!!
Trust me if the bunnies would hate the rain they will hide in their house. If they stay under the rain then it’s because they enjoyed it
They can be out in the rain, but they CANNOT be bathed or thrown in to a pool.
How did you build your big rabbit pen? And how did you your rabbits not get parasites or any other bugs on them? I have to get rabbits soon for my school ffa thingy and I want my rabbits to be able to run around and exercise instead of being in the hutch all day long.
Thank you so much! We want to do this and you are helping us to learn. We will for sure do outside bunnies too. They will love it!
I want to build a rabbit home outside but want to put the wire or something deep under the dirt so the can make tunnel and stuff to live in when ready to breed isn’t that possible vs buying homes for them ?
I keep my bunnies outside also, I live in England it never gets too cold or too hot so that's not something we generally have to worry about. There is nothing they love more than running free and digging in our back garden
I agree on this 100%!! Besides, though I love Lennon the bunny & the channel she's always home to constantly clean. When you have Indoor rabbits even with bunny proofing everything, etc. They potty constantly & sometimes causes not only the rabbits, but ppl breathing Issues over time. Animals just like ppl need a healthy amount of sunshine & outdoors.
Keep doing what your doing girl. God intended nature to be outside with nature 🙌 Rabbits actually adapt really well if they have trust in you which yoir babies clearly do or they wouldn't be zooming around doing binkys. 😉
How often do you do this deep cleaning? Is it like an every day job or once a week? Or can you go longer between cleanings? Also, how do you keep it from getting gross and wet when it rains…wouldn’t rain water come in from the walls?
MAN finally someone who doesn't support lennon too! I never liked how Lorelei thinks the outdoors will immediately kill your rabbits 😂 how soft!
The idea that rabbits *can't* be outside is a little funny, considering that that's how 95% of people keep rabbits! Most people with outdoor rabbits keep them in unheated, un-air-conditioned barns, but this setup is very very nice! Not all breeds are suited for outdoor life - just like not all dog breeds can stay outside. There are rabbits and rabbit breeds that can't stay outside, like how Angoras, who have such heavy coats that they overheat *very* easily and therefore much prefer an air conditioned setting if you live in warm climates, should usually be kept indoors, but other rabbits are perfectly fine outside. Just like how a Chihuahua wouldn't be happy as an outdoor-only dog, but a Great Pyrenees sheep guardian is meant to live outside full-time, with its sheep!
I keep English Angoras as house pets, but your outdoor bunnies look very happy and well-cared for!
The funnies part to me is when people say “rabbits were bred to be indie animals” but they say that to the people that breed them OUTSIDE (like my self)
Your bunny enclosure is one of the best, very well done! Rabbits are totally capable to live outdoors, that's what they've been doing for millions of years, don't worry about it.
Loved watching the whole process of how you went through cleaning. Gives a great picture of what this all involves especially good discipline on your part!
Lets get something constructive comment :) the only 2 thinks i may owerthink is the size of the holes in the mesh. Maybe use something smaler. I dont know were you live and what kind of hunter there are but a rat or a wiesel maybe can come through and hurt or kill the bunnies. I could see it right but a plate under the hole cage would prevent lager animals to dig there way in. And thats the only major thinks i see.
Good job! :)
