Most important things are probably always, always, always make sure he has clean water and hay. Rabbits have to eat constantly pretty much or they bind up and die. The other thing is don't leave them out over 70 fahrenheit , they get heatstroke super quick and tolerate cold a lot better than hot.

    Attention to anyone that is now thinking about owning one of those breeds! Lots of the breeds shown in this video suffer due to their genetics, please just get your rabbits from a shelter. Rex rabbits often have curly whiskers and skin problems. Lops have short snouts and deformed ear canals, most of them develop painful and VERY hard to detect otitis. I've done CT scans on "healthy" seeming lops whose bones in the ear were completely dissolved by the inflammation. Woolys and netherland dwarves have breed specific health issues.
    These poor animals suffer because we decide to think certain attributes are cute. Please just adopt a pair from the shelter.
    On top of that, there are numerous sequences that show improper and dangerous handling as well as frightened and stressed rabbits. Be aware of that!

      Thank you for saying just what I was thinking! My first bunny was a Jersey Wooly (obtained from the shelter), and it was a total heartbreak story as she died from dental complications due to her breed. I am now on my second bunny from the shelter, and this time I went with the vet's recommendation that I get a mix breed. So far, so good - I have a mix of Dutch, Silver Marten and New Zealand and he's so much healthier!
      The biggest problem with this video is the idea that any one breed has certain personality commonalities. Every single bun is unique, and having respect for the individual will lead to a happier relationship.

      Lops and swarfs having brachycephalic skulls and issues from them has been dispelled by actual breeders that have handled and raised hundreds or even thousands of them. The 2 studies done on lop ear issues were from rescue rabbits with unknown ancestry and unknown previous medical history. Also both studies only compared about a dozen animals and had no real control group.
      Yes lops can have more issues but it's more due to an owner not providing proper husbandry than the anatomy of the animal.

    • @dollipop12
      @dollipop12 9 місяців тому

      Well bred rex rabbits do not have any more skin issues than those with standard or rollback fur. Sure poorly bred rex are prone to bare spots, improper coat types, and skin irritation due to improper fur coverage but that's why we support ethical responsible breeders.

    • @mw-cy1zf
      @mw-cy1zf 9 місяців тому

      @@dollipop12 I challenge you to work at a rabbit savvy vet clinic for a few weeks. The amount of lops with issues that are way less common in normal eared rabbits is no joke. We've also just yesterday had a male lop who supposedly was "very well bred", suffering facial nerve paralysis due to having severe otitis. Just a recent example of what we see all the time. You're right that improper husbandry is at fault as well since very few owners do yearly imaging or monthly ear cleaning which worsens the issues.
      It's also not only otits and teeth issues, they also can't see as well due to the ears blocking their view which frankly is not really an advantage for a prey animal.

    Hollands lops are lovely rabbits! But I think it’s also important to mention that they are more prone to developing middle/inner ear infections due to the shape of their ears. If you decide to get one just be aware that this may be a possibility for them and it may require a quite invasive (and expensive) surgery! Other vet bills that can come up with any rabbit breed include your regular check ups, spay/neuter, RHDV2 vaccine, and dental procedures if needed in the future!

    No bunnies should be left unsupervised outdoors whether they’re in an enclosure or not. No domesticated rabbits should be left outside periods regardless of the breed and don’t belong in hutches or cages either. If your rabbits are kept as pet ( not bred for meat ) then let them roam free .

      You can't generalise it that much. Obviously there are rabbits that are safer living indoors, for example rabbits that live in areas with extreme weather or live near bears/large destructive animals, but there are lots of rabbits that are alright or better living outdoors. Personally, I know my rabbit living outside is the best thing for him, he has a safe enclosure, he can dig, he has grass and he can get fresh air outside, which he couldn't get as much of indoors.

No animals can get into my enclosure. The most dangerous animals that live near me, are cats, and tiny birds (which are harmless cause their also prey animals).

    I would love to see a balanced well researched updated version of this. Yes some nice points were made, but overall too many inaccuracies, wrong images shown at times of the breed and so many generalisations on the breed, when they all have such distinct personalities, though one thing that does seem to be common amongst bunnies is their stubborn streak.
    Also all bunnies can be litter trained and the fact is it is unnatural for a bunny to ever have all 4 paws off the floor (other than when binkying/jumping) so as a prey species they actually find being handled and cuddled stressful and scary. It is far better to lie with them on the floor for snuggles and some buns will choose to come and lie on you or become lap bunnies, but there is no guarantee it happens or in a certain breed.
    Also, many breeds do have traits that are more likely, sadly not to do with being cuddly or good with children, but due to health problems and all bunnies need to be able to have access to a bunny savvy vet if you hope for them to have a good lifespan.
    It is a total myth that bunnies are cheap easy starter pets that are good with children.
    Bunnies are AMAZING especially when kept in pairs and can live in your home freely (just like a dog or cat would) but ultimately they are an adult’s companion animal that has complex needs.

    My daughter has been begging me for a pet bunny for YEARS. Ive been hesitant as I wanted to make sure she was old enough and responsible enough, that we were in a financial and living situation that would be big enough for a new pet and we could afford to bring him to vet and get them everything we need. I think we're about ready now so Im doing a lot of research. We dont have any other pets and I don't want the bunny to be lonely. Should I get 2 rabbits so they can have a companion when we're not around? I feel like animals of some species need to be in a social situation and that humans who treat them good are wonderful but can't always fill yhe same place as anothet companion of their same species. Does anyone have any recommendations? Any experience or advice abyone can share would be greatly appreciated ❤ thank you!

    Too much effort and im certain my dog would lose his mind!! Even a cat. Ive tried introducing a kitten my dad put a kitten in the house from outside my dog was gonna kill it. Your dog is not just gonna accept a new animal!!

      Hello there. There is a possibility your rabbit will eat it's own young if she is feeling anxious, lacking dietary protein, or being excessively territorial. Make sure your rabbit eats Alfalfa hay during the days prior to the birth of her young. Stay tuned for more like this!
