I've let the rabbit loose all night sometimes. It usually sleeps in the bed next to me. Although it sometimes digs when it wants something, which has not always been easy to figure out what.
just got a 2 months old rabbit, his name is Panda and his so adorable😍 been researching on dealing with rabbits and findings videos like this is very helpful
i usually let my rabbits roam around my living room every 3 days a week, i can’t always let them out because i have a dog, and they’re also 4 months and are still learning, i let them roam outside as well but when i’m out there and watching them, is this good as a rabbit owner? i’m still researching some things heh.
1/4 cup of pellets a day, 2 cups of veg a day, unlimited hay. treats only occasionally. rabbits are active in morning and evening so let them out then. that's it.
A house rabbit is just like a dog and is house broken quickly! Rachel is absolutly correct on their diet.With ours, when it gets around 10pm, she jumps off her pillow on the couch and runs to her cage thats about 50 feet away at the end of the kitchen. There she waits for for her 3 raisins and a big blueberry. When she finishes she tries to close the cage door (we lock her in her cage at night, should there be a fire or something the first thing we grab is the cage),and then jumps into her hay box. In the morning, she pulls on the cage door, hops out and runs into the kitchen where her plate has a couple of breakfast veggies and her bowl of pellets. Like we said, they're just like dogs and crave attention.. :)
My rabbit loves being picked up and cuddled. I sit out in the garden with her for hours and she comes over and sits on my knee. I also bring her into the house now and again and we sit and watch TV and cuddle.
i have a little boy rabbit he licks me all the time when i bring him out from my room he looks around a little and then sits down next to me and cuddles with me licks me every now and then but he is so cute i love him
+BerryJuice In what way does it look like your rabbit calms down? Does she stop moving and look like she's asleep? If that's the case, cease to do this immediately. When a rabbit is placed on their back, they experience something called tonic immobility during which the rabbit becomes paralysed and their levels of fear go through the roof. It causes them to look as though they're sleeping or dead, and they become unable to move. If your rabbit appears to be doing this, stop it. It's not good for the rabbit, and it can actually kill it.
+Rozzy 13 It's not preferable, but if the animal is dirty in a way that they can't clean, or if the rabbit gets diarrhoea, especially as babies, a bath may be necessary. The owner can dry the fur in a variety of ways. It's the initial shock of the bath that should be worried about.
BerryJuice I show rabbits at fair and I been doing it for four years and rabbit do not mind it that I have seen . Also you can bath them with no water like a dry shampoo I do it all the time, but you are right about baths with water . Think you should research more about rabbits.😢
Taylor Roth-Cerce I have 1 Netherland dwarf and 1 Netherland dwarf x jersey wooly and the Netherland dwarf is so territorial and the Netherland dwarf x is super friendly
Jazz Hands same I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit he loves to be cuddled and held he also licks me which I searched up what it means and it said he loves me and that’s also alway of grooming owners
Jazz Hands I found my Netherlands Dwarf is the one that likes being held out of my bunnies also. My Continental giant and mini Rex do not prefer being held. My Lionhead and Netherlands are more tolerant . But my giant loves to be petted and gets jealous when I pet the other bunnies, they all love affection and attention.
Rabbit hutches are fine:)) As long as it's big and you take your rabbit out every day. Any cage big or small you always need to take your rabbits out to run around every day!
My rule of thumbs is : if your rabbi can run in his cage, it is big enough to keep him in if you take him out everyday so he can explore and jump around. My rabbit rearranged stuff in his cage so he could have a "race track" and just run in his cage.
Bunny buzz I only have room for 10 lbs of rabbit!! I think this will help me keep a limit of rabbits LOL!! My mom and I built our hutch! it was so fun!!
About the food, It actually depends on what brand you have, how old your bunny is, and if your bunny is pregnent. Sometimes it will say how much on the back of the food bag. For example, I use Oxbow and my rabbit is 4 months old, I'm supposed to give her an unlimited amount. My other rabbit is 6 years old and I'm supposed to give him 1 cup a day.
After 4 months old your rabbit should only have like a 1/4 cup a day. My rabbits are 4 months and I don't feed them unlimited pellets, I never did. My other rabbit is 4 years old and I only give her a 1/4 cup of pellets a day:) I think you should cut down on the pellets a little
my bunny that had passed a couple weeks ago, loved cuddles and getting picked up, she would also follow me around the house and sleep at the end of my bed, she was so adorable and funny, I really do miss her.
One very important mistake is keeping a rabbit alone, they are social animals. It's important to always have another rabbit or f.e. a guineapig, chicken or any other animal that goes well with your rabbit. If you don't do this, they will eventually start to feel lonely....
well my rabbit bugs BFF is my cat kitty they love each other so much when bugs bored she goes looking for her. and now kitty is an aunt bugs gave birth to 3 babies last month and the babies really Like kitty too and bugs has no problems she really likes kitty's help to baby sit
Rabbits and guinea pigs and rabbits and chickens should not go together. Chickens can give rabbits diseases even if the chicken is healthy, and rabbits more than likely will kill/attack a guinea pig.
Erin The Nerd :3 keeping two rabbits of same gender together is very dangerous even if they are sisters/brothers. They fight a lot. I had two bunnies. Both male. One of them mysteriously died at a young age. I googled about it and got to know that a bunny fight between same gender can lead to death of one of them. Just ask a vet or someone who's expert in bunny stuff and make sure about this information. Don't take a risk.
I love your accent! I sleep with my rabbit, he likes it, and he actually lays next to me first and chatters his teeth and because he is potty trained I let him run around all day, I only lock him up at night, around 2 to 8am, because I need to sleep and have a lot of wires and he's a fatass and will eat ANYTHING he thinks is edible😅 He's 3 and his name is Lenny
Rabbits chew wires instinctively thinking they are roots. It is built in as pet rabbits ancestors live underground in a burrow and rabbits have to constantly keep the tunnels clear of roots.
This video is so good! May I just mention that when I first got Crunchie, I did overfeed pellets and not enough hay :/. He has got so much hay now and great amount of pellets so that is great. Also may I mentions that another mistake is not doing daily health checks. Every morning and night before Crunchie goes to sleep I check he has not got runny nose or gungey eyes. I also lift up his ears (as he is a lop) and check for wax buildup. Next, I check his teeth which is very easy as he lets me do this. And finally, I check his back end and make sure that is nice and clean. I groom at least 2wice in a month as he is NOT a long haired breed. Long haired breeds should be 1nce or 2wice a week. Please note that I have not had him for an extremely long time, only 3 days. I got him his play pen which we are to attatch to his huge double story hutch. We cannot yet tho as he hasnt got his vaccinations yet but will get them on Friday. :P
Some of my rabbits love being held, others don't really care. If the rabbit likes and trusts you I don't see the problem with picking them up. Most of the time I just hold them in my arms while sitting on the couch until they get sleepy, nothing wrong with that.
I keep my rabbit in her cage at night, it’s a medium sized cage she’s small but growing fast, all day she’s allowed to roam around but I’m scared if I leave her out at night then I’ll loose her
I have had more than one of my bunnies break their back when allowed in a large area. They get so excited they get to running around & kick up their hind feet & a vertebrae in their back snaps. I had bunnies have a broken back when I came to check on them, & wondered how it happened! It was my thinking that some animal had gotten in their play yard & broke their back, but not so, one day I actually SAW what happened. It was so sad for me to go through this with beloved bunnies! Judie
The one about being "picked up & cuddled" is ABSOLUTELY false they may not like it but it doesn't loose their trust, they develope a whole new way of trusting you to keep them safe and learn to find spots in your arms to feel safe. So it is honestly good to pick them up and cuddle them and can actually make them calmer and more lovable towards you.
Just saw this vid in recommendations and thought of some stuff you could add maybe a part 2? 1. Do not bathe a rabbit ... The shock of it can kill 2. Do not keep them alone, they are social and need a friend 3. Please don't keep them with Guinea pigs, it's just not going to work. 2 different species will not get along! (Bullying can occur) Keep two of the same species together not two different! 4. Don't buy brown or rotted hay. Buy the green (fresh stuff) rabbits won't eat the dry (brown stuff). Just a adding as I see it all the time in pet shop I've said to staff... They don't listen :/ 5. Learn yr rabbit body language and there normal actions. As this will make it easier for you to tell when somethings wronge! 6. Learn the symptoms of G.I. Status .. This is deadly and is a silent killer if not treated as emergency (can kill in under 4 hrs). Once you learn how to recognise it you'll be a pro! Trust me! 7. Vaccinate yr buns! 8. Use xeno 450 as spot on (it's the best) especially if you have multiple pets in house eg like a dog. My dog (although I used spot on him) once brought in walking dandruff (rabbit cheyliettella mite) it was so sore! It was like fleas!!! 9. Visually check rabbits every mourning and night! There very quiet animals so if there I'll they'll hide it! Hope these help ! If I think of anymore I'll add them!
That Burgess Excel pellet food you used as an example is for Guinea Pigs! Do you use this to feed your rabbit all the time? It's not recommended that you do, although both Burgess Excel Guinea Pig and Rabbit food contain similar ingredients they are formulated to fit the specific species
My rabbit is a mummys boy, he can't get enough cuddles. He gets in a stomp when I put him down! I am extremely lucky, he is so affectionate and loves fusses and his gives you kisses too! Lovely video, great tips! Thank you x
How do I stop my bunnies from selective feeding? As my bunnies came with the feed and I can't get them of off it. I want them to have mainly pellets but with a few odd treats in the mix. Every time i stop giving them the mix they don't appear to eat the pellets and I fear they're not getting the food they need for their diets as a result.
Buy the right feed and then add a little to the feed they are getting now e.g. 10% new feed and 90% current feed. Gradually up the new feed each day and reduce the current feed til they are used to the new one. Take your time and it'll be fine.
My rabbit has lived (so far) for 5 years (going to his six) and he has never eaten hay before but i still love how much info u have shared with us thx for that :)
CoolBlue NightCore I know this is a year late and I hope your rabbit is still healthy, but you should feed them hay 24/7 it’s 80% of their diet, it gives them the fiber they need to digest their food, if their digestive system shuts down due to a lack of fiber they can go into something that is known as GI stasis which is very deadly and won’t show many symptoms until it’s too late, so just please go the extra mile to give him some Timothy hay, maybe orchard grass or meadow hay, he will thank you
Majority of Rabbits love being cuddled and picked up just not all of them and another thing that no one mentioned is when other people come round to see your rabbit I have a big huge family mainly full of children under the age of 16+ so i'm thinking don't they get uncomfortable if everyone pick them up hmm
tbh the reason why your bunny doesn’t like being picked up is probably because you don’t have a good bond with her and she doesn’t trust you. my 3 year old netherland dwarf is free and likes my bedroom the most. he comes up to me and gives me kisses and sits on my knee, he loves cuddles and being picked up
when i pick up one of my rabbits she rubs her face and chin on me and another one of my rabbits constantly climbs up my back or arms and will lie across my shoulders behind my neck
abbie mckelvie omg same if I picked them up because maybe I'm cleaning their hucth and they won't leave I pick them up and they go on my back and try to jump which is terryfying for me
yeah they can scare you sometimes one time my rabbit managed to get her head stuck in my jumper and was chocking but i managed to get her in time i was terrified
My rabbit won't eat healthy 😣 he only eats pellets. He won't eat any hay or veg I give him, I really don't know what to do. Any advice? Btw he doesn't have very good teeth x
If I were you I would chop up veggies really small and mix them with your bunny's pellets and for his/her teeth maybe purchase wood toys for him/her to chew on
I'm soon getting my very first pet rabbit & I know very little about them, so I'm trying to get advice wherever I can. I'm physically disabled & spend much of my time confined to my room, so my mum is hoping to get me a small indoor rabbit that won't mind too much about being handled; sort of like a therapy pet. The hutch will probably be in my bedroom & the temperature of my room is always changing (although we have oil heating through radiators, I like to use an electric/remote-control fan to keep the room from getting too warm), though I've heard this is probably a good thing. I also just recently got a mini-fridge as an early 30th birthday gift, so I could easily keep fruit/veg inside it for my new rabbit. I'll be doing whatever I can to ensure my new pet is healthy & happy (& he/she will be very much loved), but I'll still need all the help I can get. I'd be very grateful if anyone here can possibly offer me some advice for looking after my new rabbit. Much appreciated... 💕✨🐰✨💕
My bunny loves being cuddled. ^♡^ He loves being carried around like a baby (surprised myself and my grandmother) and he just relaxes in my arms and he just loves it. He's absolutely adorable. ♡
One of my bunnies always loooves to be held, carried around and picked up. He cuddles in my arms for hours.i never realized how lucky I was to have a bunny like that until I got Ollie, my second bunny. He likes to be pet, but he isn’t too social. He hates being held and cuddled. Anyways, awesome video! Great information. There are so many people that get bunnies without any research and that bunny has to go through it’s life in torture! Hopefully every rabbit owner watches this video :D
My bunny loves being picked up but she hates being picked up and being beside your neck you can tell because if your put her near your neck she’ll bite you. How she likes being held is like a baby like her back lays in your hands and her feet and hands touch your body and she just closes her eyes sometimes 😍
you NEED to hold your rabbit!!!!! sooooooooooo many reasons why!!! 1; to check for fleas, or get shots, or to even clip their nails! 2. they get bored an lonely very quickly! if you leave them cooped up all day and never touch them; then they become aggressive!!!!!! 3; if your rabbit doesnt like to be picked up or growls at you, well then you need to pick them up more often! theyre scared and dont want anything to do with you if you dont care for them!!! 4; if they freak out when you hold them, then that might be because youre holding them wrong. i have had many bunnies, my first bunny i never held because of what others said. but i got more and started to hold them more and their attitude changed!!! they all loved me! and not a single rabbit growled at me when i picked them up! they actually gave me kisses and wanted me to hold them longer! i set them down and they hop right back up to me! dont always listen to people, they may have wrong info, look up REAL info from someone who actually IS a rabbit expert!!!
You're not a rabbit expert, and your advice is terrible. If I were to listen to you, I would think my rabbit hates me. She doesn't. She hates children, unfamiliar women, and probably you if she met you. She also hates being picked up almost as much as she hates towels. I hug my rabbit (on the floor obviously). I cover my rabbits eyes and stoke her (it makes her feel safe). I stroke her to music (weird but she is really into it). I throw chew toys her way to play with (she only likes toys she can eat/chew). I let her follow me upstairs almost every time I go to get something (sometimes it's like hide and seek). She loves all of that. She loves me because she is bonded to me. Fuck you for suggesting she hates me.
You are right that you need to be able to pick up your rabbit to check for health problems, especially during summer with the risk of fly strike their rear end needs to be checked twice a day.
My rabbit would prefer not to be held but she doesn’t hate it and I hold her often I pet her which she loves, but I thought that it’s becuse I have handled her since she was just in the nest her mother made, my rabbit does have an additude due to the fact I adopted her from my school. My rabbit loves to chew on anything which is why we cannot leave her out by herself anymore. My rabbit also loves other animals especially cats, for what ever reason when ever ours is in the room my rabbit will fallow her while still in the cage trying to get to her.
Phijkchu Shuckle rabbits are all different whatever you have been doing with them since day one carry on xxx it’s your rabbit and if she hates u, she will learn to like you again give it time you will see,I have the same problem with my rabbit but when I sit and stroke her and talk to her about how I feel about her she sorta sits in my lap, if you rabbit sits in your lap just stroke her don’t move her cos she will be comfortable the way she was originally xxx hope this helps OH and I almost forgot, give her a treat each day if u want to and try to train her cos rabbits like that xxx let me know if this helps xxxxxx😘😘
Wow I had no idea about the food. Mine graze on grass all day and have access to hay, leaves, twigs. I feed them Adult Rabbit Food once a day which is pellets that have little orange carrot looking things along with a variety of seeds. I don't think it's as bad as what you described but I will definitely look at it closer.
I rescued my rabbit he was being abused by my neighbours and I took him home with me and he wouldn't let anyone pick him up he would kick and bite but for some reason when I Len him loose or wonder around my bed room he cuddles with me and he let's me pick him up, also my rabbit is very cheap as we feed him pellets which for me is 30$ every 8 months for feed. We give him our left over veggies and fruits or fresh from the garden. He loves the green leaves from corn on the cob and for about every 3 months my litter cost 5$. And for the rabbit run it was free for me to build as I used trees and logs from the bush in my back yard so every year he cost about 85$ which is very cheap
You're not taking care of your rabbit right, at all. Hence the reason you think it's so cheap. I rescued 2 rabbits and I go through a 2 string bales of hay every 4 to 5 weeks and a pay 50$ for my bale (which is on the cheaper side) rabbits are supposed to have unlimited supplies of hay at ALL TIMES! Also they're supposed to have at least a half a cup of leafy greens everyday unless the poop gets mooshy then you'd slow down or feed them every other day instead of every day, then comes pellets, which should be Timothy hay based, not cheap. I pay 20$ a month on pellets, on top of chew toys because their teeth never stop growing, they need to be drinking out of dishes not bottles... As they drink as much as a 60 pound dog. Rabbits are very special animals, as are all animals but they're different, they require a lot more than 85$ a yeAr. I spend that and some a month on my rabbits. You should do some more research otherwise your rabbits are going to die.
Never made any of these mistakes other then.. My rabbits freaking love to be cuddled and held, they come over and jump on my knee for cuddles. Sorry but the fact they don't like cuddles or being held is BS
It isn't BS, rabbits are just like people in that some are affectionate and others are not. For example, my first rabbit would tug on your clothes until you picked him up, as well as sit on any paperwork you were doing until you paid attention to him. However, my current rabbit is nowhere near as happy with being picked up, he just prefers to run around by himself and will throw a fit if held for very long.
Try picking up my rabbit. Although I'd advice against it if you value your arms. I'd advise against trying to use a towel to do that if you value your life. She's perfectly fine otherwise, I've learned to cuddle her while she's on the ground. It makes her feel safe because she feels like she is hiding.
Learned the hard way that wean down your pellets quick as possible. Once they get used to the OxBow pellets its hard to find a hay your bunndy will eat. Through trial and error though I finally found a meadow grass my bunny will eat. Had a hard time because fed her to many pellets as she was young. Now a year later finally got her diet on what is advised.
My rabbit loves too be picked up and cuddled. She was 4 months old when I got her and since day one cuddles and snuggles all day everyday. She loves kids My nephew is 4 and she tolerates him really really well has never bit him. I baby her when she was small she loved too sleep on my chest wraped a fleece blanket. she would lay with me and I had too cuddle her every night or she wouldn't sleep. My bunny is amazing❤❤.
I have 5 bunny pets and theyre adorable...pretty much they all like to be cuddled and kissed . Id say 3 of my bunnies are extremely affectionate omg, its unbelievable i adore them. They are expensive though , phew. Im a stay home wife so i have plenty of time to take care of them and thankfully we can provide them with what they need..i recommend a rabbit as a furry companion but only if youre willing to care for them as if theyre literally your children.
Oh honey, I don't know how old you are and I am pretty new to this lovely channel but you spell meusli like this 'muesli'. But apart from that, you have earned a new subscriber! I will definitely tell my friends about this channel as it is just so lovely ❤️️❤️❤️️❤️ Like if you are a subscriber!!!!!😄
Charlie's Corner. I think you owe this kid an apology, she has spelt MUESLI correctly, no offence mate but you should wind your neck in a bit rather being such a patronising pedant and picking on little kids.
My rabbit tells me when he want to be picked up and cuddle, all my rabbits have. He nudge me with his head and than stand up on his back leg, making it easier for me to pick him up. In the beginning he didn’t like being held, cuddle or picked up but with treats and showing him, he had nothing to fear. He only relax fully when he sleeps on my chest and plays close to me.
They are cheap to buy - they are So Not cheap to look after IF you know and actually DO all they need. Yes they are super cute and cuddly, but most bunnies particularly the older they get don't like being held. Snuggled up next to you or on your lap-Yes, walked around with - not so much. Your little Bunny looks super cute though :D
Weeds from outside and all the fresh grass they can eat is what mine get in Summer. Winter is hay plus pellets and organic veggies from the supermarket.
Some bunnies eye lashes curl under instead of up (as normal). The lashes can be trained to curl up by massaging vaseline using an upward motion twice a day, thus training the lashes to curl up.....it does work, I know, because I have done it!
My bunny Crunchie stopped eating his hay probably only yesterday so I put in a like a huge wall of hay in the corner of his bedroom. He is quite lazy so this means he doesn't need to go far when he wakes up to get to his hay. Also, I hide small carrot blocks and kale pieces inside his hay along with a couple pellets/nuggets. I found out the main reason he stopped eating his hay was just because he had too many pellets which stop him eating his hay. So that is why I put his nuggets in his hay wall so he is kinda being forced to forage for his pellets and also eat some hay as well. But you should seriouly see his breakfast xD I am so proud to be a bunny owner so I put a few pellets in the middle with kale round the edges and hay sticking out and a few carrot sticks too. It's called the Big Kings Brekkie cx
I don’t think you should be giving advice when you’re making so many mistakes in this video. 1. Bunnies don’t belong outdoors, they’re prey animals, outdoors leaves bunny’s so vulnerable and scared and isolated. 2. That tiny hayrack you’re giving her hay is far too small, she won’t be able to graze and pick her hay out of those tiny holes. 3. Rabbits don’t belong in cages 🥺
It's rare that people in the uk have rabbits living indoors, I've been keeping rabbits since I was a child and I'm now 25 never had a single issue with them being outdoors.. if it snows we bring them inside, their hutches have a warm and waterproof cover. They get let out for play and exercise time and are safely tucked up in their hutches at night. If it's worked fine all these years and my rabbits are happy and healthy what's the problem? I also have an older rabbit that has free roam in the house as hes old and needs extra care.
My bunny has full run of the first floor. No hutch or cage. She has a hiding house but is only in there when the fan is on (hates drafts). She is such a happy and spoiled girl!
Cute very good video thank you for sharing. Thank you for saying about $$$$ of having an animal. People turn out animals once they realize they cost money. You’re a very good bunny parent
Their diet should actually mainly be their pellets, grass and hay😌 vegetables should be rarely fed and fruit VERY rarely ☺️ good video though, and cute rabbit!
mdfouru I don't know what that is lol I'm 14 and I've had three rabbits and the vets we took all of them to always said there diet should mainly consist of hay and pellets, but I guess different vets tell you different things, which is honestly pretty bad.
mdfouru it's like with the bunny I currently have, she is 5 months old and she is let out everyday and eats grass and she always has unlimited hay in her hutch, and she also has pellets which we fill halfway and it's a regular rabbit food bowl, but thankyou for the information! I'll keep that in mind :)
One small note often rabbits love to be petted and cuddled but they don’t like being picked up. It’s like a catch 22. Sometimes it’s how you pick them up as well.
Ok hun you are supposed to pick your rabbits up it keeps your rabbit from getting mean you are supposed to give your rabbit a lot of love learn your facts before you try to share them if your rabbit doesn't like you to pick them up they are most likely not a friendly rabbit
All Rabbits are basically prey animals, most of them don't tolerate being picked up. If they do it's because they grew accustomed to getting picked up, but for the most part, you should try not to because they don't particularly like it. Coming from a vet major.
I keep trying to convince my parents to bring my bunny to the vet but they say things like "it's too expensive!" And "Outdoor rabbits don't need to go to the vet!" Which really infuriates me.
Meme Salsa it’s honestly not super expensive for rabbits, I know it’s different everywhere but it’s only $40 to get male rabbits fixed and $65 for females, and that’s nothing compared to the hundreds of dollars that you need for dogs and cats, so keep on going and try to convince them, fixing rabbits prolongs their life span and if your rabbit is a female it will basically eliminates the risk of reproductive cancer
Bodie Kolosque well most rabbits don't...yes there are times when they wanna be held by someone but most of the times they don't want it..but hey if your rabbit loves it then cool cool
Bodie Kolosque not all do I have 15 rabbits some do like to be picked up but don't like to be cuddled while others don't like being picked up but once there on your lap they love to be pet... so no not all rabbits like set interactions each rabbit is so different...
In 5 years, our rabbit got used to our family and sometimes approaches to us expecting cuddles. But he hates to be picked up like a human child, despite my sister picking him up and hugging since he was a baby. Until now I can see him widening his eyes in fear. So I guess it isn't the same for all rabbits.
Bodie Kolosque Well of course they love social interaction and attention, but I've had over ten rabbits and none have ever liked being picked up. They're not cats. They're fine sitting on you or being pet, but once the ground is out from under them without their consent, look out!
My buns LOVE to be cuddled! They love being carried around like big ole babies. In fact if I’m ever not loving on them or cuddling them they get mad and pout haha
I have 2 rabbits that I have had for about 7 years and I have had rabbits since I was 4 but we recently adopted another rabbit that had to be rehomed as she was fighting with the other rabbit (it got so bad she only has half an ear on one side) We adopted her and she's seems happy in herself she is eating well, is curious and comes up to greet us, plays, binkys etc, however we can not touch her and I don't know what to do, she has bit my husband a few times (he's braver than me and is more confident) but as soon as we tough her she gets so angry and will go for us, she's fine if I stroke her paws through the hutch/run but as soon as it involves more touching she goes crazy. I just don't know what to do as we can't check her or anything like that. I can't even clean the hutch out with her in there because she just attacks. We have to attach her hutch (an inside hutch) to the side door of the run outside as it's the only way to give her exercise, which isn't easy when your on your own! Does anyone have any tips on what we can do? P.S she had been spayed
Some tips from someone who has a bun from a rescue: my buns name is cas, he was a rescue from a rabbit sanctuary. Please get good quality food, oxbow is the best, and any kind of hay except alfalfa is good for adults. Bowls of water are also good instead of those weird hanging drip water bottles
I built a giant rabbit hutch for my two rabbits. I made a small tunnel going from that to a cage into the grass into another hutch. Think they love it XD
When we first got my bunnies, they lived in a hutch for about a week. It was two floors, one for sleeping, and one for litter box, food, and water. We then spent an entire weekend building them a pen. They now get the run of the entire backyard xD My two bunnies are about three years old now. We only keep them in the hutch during the night, just to be sure, because lots of animals come into our yard at night (i.g. rats, raccoons, and coyotes come out into the streets) Other than that, they live outside alllll the time. :D
my biggest mistake was letting my rabbits share my bedroom. it is now there bedroom and i sleep in a cage...
I've let the rabbit loose all night sometimes. It usually sleeps in the bed next to me. Although it sometimes digs when it wants something, which has not always been easy to figure out what.
You are a good owner, most of the rabbit onwers treat them like sh*ts
@@niklasmolen4753 It really feels good to know that there are more rabbit owners like you
Safia Khan...cute!
😍🔥🐇🐰😁
just got a 2 months old rabbit, his name is Panda and his so adorable😍 been researching on dealing with rabbits and findings videos like this is very helpful
thanks for share your video.... cute bunny...
Thank you for your helpful information 😊
i usually let my rabbits roam around my living room every 3 days a week, i can’t always let them out because i have a dog, and they’re also 4 months and are still learning, i let them roam outside as well but when i’m out there and watching them, is this good as a rabbit owner? i’m still researching some things heh.
I love the way u talk 💕
Nice video
Lay on the floor near your rabbit. Mine gives kisses and crawls on me. I cant really cuddle him but we love each other on his terms
Anna Nicholson same
thats cute
awwww
Anna Nicholson same
Same here. If I lie on my back and slide my feet back, he runs under the tunnel my legs create.
1/4 cup of pellets a day, 2 cups of veg a day, unlimited hay. treats only occasionally. rabbits are active in morning and evening so let them out then. that's it.
Rachel Silverstein What about water?
Willem Rombauts unlimited! Initial post was about food
A house rabbit is just like a dog and is house broken quickly! Rachel is absolutly correct on their diet.With ours, when it gets around 10pm, she jumps off her pillow on the couch and runs to her cage thats about 50 feet away at the end of the kitchen. There she waits for for her 3 raisins and a big blueberry. When she finishes she tries to close the cage door (we lock her in her cage at night, should there be a fire or something the first thing we grab is the cage),and then jumps into her hay box. In the morning, she pulls on the cage door, hops out and runs into the kitchen where her plate has a couple of breakfast veggies and her bowl of pellets. Like we said, they're just like dogs and crave attention.. :)
Thats not _it,_ but the basics for feeding...
Rachel Silverstein my rabbits food is only pellets and veggies
Who here is a rabbit owner and whenever they are away from your rabbit you watch videos like this.
Omq_GalaxyQueen 21
MEEEEE XD
Omq_GalaxyQueen 21 I'm with my rabbit
Omq_GalaxyQueen 21 my I do it in school and where I go
True m away frm my bunnies since 1 week so missing thm badly
Omq_GalaxyQueen 21 me lol
My rabbit loves being picked up and cuddled. I sit out in the garden with her for hours and she comes over and sits on my knee. I also bring her into the house now and again and we sit and watch TV and cuddle.
thats so sweet
i have a little boy rabbit he licks me all the time when i bring him out from my room he looks around a little and then sits down next to me and cuddles with me licks me every now and then but he is so cute i love him
Trick is to get them as babies, and handle them a lot. My grandson's rabbit loves to cuddle, he was a lot easier to handle to after he was neutered.
OMG My bunny loves that too!!
funky sloth Well the owner knows it better than you
You are a very knowledgeable young lady. You presented a very informative and entertaining video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!
I was thinking the same thing! Very bright young lady!
your so kind
Two more things: don’t bathe them unless you have no other choice, and don’t turn them on their backs.
+BerryJuice In what way does it look like your rabbit calms down? Does she stop moving and look like she's asleep? If that's the case, cease to do this immediately. When a rabbit is placed on their back, they experience something called tonic immobility during which the rabbit becomes paralysed and their levels of fear go through the roof. It causes them to look as though they're sleeping or dead, and they become unable to move. If your rabbit appears to be doing this, stop it. It's not good for the rabbit, and it can actually kill it.
Sarah Johnston you should never bathe them at all!!!! There fur would take days to dry
+Rozzy 13 It's not preferable, but if the animal is dirty in a way that they can't clean, or if the rabbit gets diarrhoea, especially as babies, a bath may be necessary. The owner can dry the fur in a variety of ways. It's the initial shock of the bath that should be worried about.
Days?
BerryJuice I show rabbits at fair and I been doing it for four years and rabbit do not mind it that I have seen . Also you can bath them with no water like a dry shampoo I do it all the time, but you are right about baths with water . Think you should research more about rabbits.😢
I have a netherland dwarf rabbit, actually 2. and they are super friendly and love to be held
Taylor Roth-Cerce I have 1 Netherland dwarf and 1 Netherland dwarf x jersey wooly and the Netherland dwarf is so territorial and the Netherland dwarf x is super friendly
I also have one but he's not friendly, he hides and nibbles your stomach and leaves bruises if you place him in your lap
My holland lop dosnt mine being held as long as i carry her right shes a sweety!
Jazz Hands same I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit he loves to be cuddled and held he also licks me which I searched up what it means and it said he loves me and that’s also alway of grooming owners
Jazz Hands I found my Netherlands Dwarf is the one that likes being held out of my bunnies also. My Continental giant and mini Rex do not prefer being held. My Lionhead and Netherlands are more tolerant . But my giant loves to be petted and gets jealous when I pet the other bunnies, they all love affection and attention.
Rabbit hutches are fine:)) As long as it's big and you take your rabbit out every day. Any cage big or small you always need to take your rabbits out to run around every day!
My rule of thumbs is : if your rabbi can run in his cage, it is big enough to keep him in if you take him out everyday so he can explore and jump around. My rabbit rearranged stuff in his cage so he could have a "race track" and just run in his cage.
Yeah that's a really good way to put it:) I do that a lot to. Hahaa bunnies are so funny!
My pet rabbit hates to go outside but when we open the living room.. she will jump out of her cage and run to the door :,,DD
hahahhaah:))
Bunny buzz I only have room for 10 lbs of rabbit!! I think this will help me keep a limit of rabbits LOL!! My mom and I built our hutch! it was so fun!!
About the food, It actually depends on what brand you have, how old your bunny is, and if your bunny is pregnent. Sometimes it will say how much on the back of the food bag. For example, I use Oxbow and my rabbit is 4 months old, I'm supposed to give her an unlimited amount. My other rabbit is 6 years old and I'm supposed to give him 1 cup a day.
After 4 months old your rabbit should only have like a 1/4 cup a day. My rabbits are 4 months and I don't feed them unlimited pellets, I never did. My other rabbit is 4 years old and I only give her a 1/4 cup of pellets a day:) I think you should cut down on the pellets a little
Niya Burks I totally agree with you! I only give my rabbits like a 1/4 of a cup of pellets
my bunny that had passed a couple weeks ago, loved cuddles and getting picked up, she would also follow me around the house and sleep at the end of my bed, she was so adorable and funny, I really do miss her.
Kaylee Loeb your rabbit sounded lovely! She will always be in your heart tho! I just got mine recently and I love her 😍
One very important mistake is keeping a rabbit alone, they are social animals. It's important to always have another rabbit or f.e. a guineapig, chicken or any other animal that goes well with your rabbit. If you don't do this, they will eventually start to feel lonely....
I know you do, but other people often forget this. You're great for your animals!
well my rabbit bugs BFF is my cat kitty they love each other so much when bugs bored she goes looking for her. and now kitty is an aunt bugs gave birth to 3 babies last month and the babies really Like kitty too and bugs has no problems she really likes kitty's help to baby sit
Rabbits and guinea pigs and rabbits and chickens should not go together. Chickens can give rabbits diseases even if the chicken is healthy, and rabbits more than likely will kill/attack a guinea pig.
My two bunnies are sisters so I'm fine :)
Erin The Nerd :3 keeping two rabbits of same gender together is very dangerous even if they are sisters/brothers. They fight a lot. I had two bunnies. Both male. One of them mysteriously died at a young age. I googled about it and got to know that a bunny fight between same gender can lead to death of one of them. Just ask a vet or someone who's expert in bunny stuff and make sure about this information. Don't take a risk.
I subscribed as soon as I saw your rabbits. Love your channel❤️
I love your accent! I sleep with my rabbit, he likes it, and he actually lays next to me first and chatters his teeth and because he is potty trained I let him run around all day, I only lock him up at night, around 2 to 8am, because I need to sleep and have a lot of wires and he's a fatass and will eat ANYTHING he thinks is edible😅 He's 3 and his name is Lenny
LMAOO
Rabbits chew wires instinctively thinking they are roots. It is built in as pet rabbits ancestors live underground in a burrow and rabbits have to constantly keep the tunnels clear of roots.
My rabbits name is MoonCotton ( not the slime shop tho)
Great video! :) xx I loved the editing on this, as well as the message!
Thanks so much :D
This video is so good! May I just mention that when I first got Crunchie, I did overfeed pellets and not enough hay :/. He has got so much hay now and great amount of pellets so that is great. Also may I mentions that another mistake is not doing daily health checks. Every morning and night before Crunchie goes to sleep I check he has not got runny nose or gungey eyes. I also lift up his ears (as he is a lop) and check for wax buildup. Next, I check his teeth which is very easy as he lets me do this. And finally, I check his back end and make sure that is nice and clean. I groom at least 2wice in a month as he is NOT a long haired breed. Long haired breeds should be 1nce or 2wice a week. Please note that I have not had him for an extremely long time, only 3 days. I got him his play pen which we are to attatch to his huge double story hutch. We cannot yet tho as he hasnt got his vaccinations yet but will get them on Friday. :P
Some of my rabbits love being held, others don't really care. If the rabbit likes and trusts you I don't see the problem with picking them up. Most of the time I just hold them in my arms while sitting on the couch until they get sleepy, nothing wrong with that.
I keep my rabbit in her cage at night, it’s a medium sized cage she’s small but growing fast, all day she’s allowed to roam around but I’m scared if I leave her out at night then I’ll loose her
I have had more than one of my bunnies break their back when allowed in a large area. They get so excited they get to running around & kick up their hind feet & a vertebrae in their back snaps. I had bunnies have a broken back when I came to check on them, & wondered how it happened! It was my thinking that some animal had gotten in their play yard & broke their back, but not so, one day I actually SAW what happened. It was so sad for me to go through this with beloved bunnies! Judie
The one about being "picked up & cuddled" is ABSOLUTELY false they may not like it but it doesn't loose their trust, they develope a whole new way of trusting you to keep them safe and learn to find spots in your arms to feel safe. So it is honestly good to pick them up and cuddle them and can actually make them calmer and more lovable towards you.
Just saw this vid in recommendations and thought of some stuff you could add maybe a part 2?
1. Do not bathe a rabbit ... The shock of it can kill
2. Do not keep them alone, they are social and need a friend
3. Please don't keep them with Guinea pigs, it's just not going to work. 2 different species will not get along! (Bullying can occur) Keep two of the same species together not two different!
4. Don't buy brown or rotted hay. Buy the green (fresh stuff) rabbits won't eat the dry (brown stuff). Just a adding as I see it all the time in pet shop I've said to staff... They don't listen :/
5. Learn yr rabbit body language and there normal actions. As this will make it easier for you to tell when somethings wronge!
6. Learn the symptoms of G.I. Status .. This is deadly and is a silent killer if not treated as emergency (can kill in under 4 hrs). Once you learn how to recognise it you'll be a pro! Trust me!
7. Vaccinate yr buns!
8. Use xeno 450 as spot on (it's the best) especially if you have multiple pets in house eg like a dog. My dog (although I used spot on him) once brought in walking dandruff (rabbit cheyliettella mite) it was so sore! It was like fleas!!!
9. Visually check rabbits every mourning and night! There very quiet animals so if there I'll they'll hide it!
Hope these help ! If I think of anymore I'll add them!
Pink Sylveon you don’t have to get two buns
That Burgess Excel pellet food you used as an example is for Guinea Pigs! Do you use this to feed your rabbit all the time? It's not recommended that you do, although both Burgess Excel Guinea Pig and Rabbit food contain similar ingredients they are formulated to fit the specific species
Such a great video! Thanks! I feel so much better that my bunnies don't like my picking them up. I thought they hated me!!
My rabbit absolutely loves to be held! He comes over and curls up for a nap on the couch with me and always comes and sits on my lap.
also make sure they have soft ground to walk/run on! Otherwise they’ll get sores on their feet :/
I show my rabbit at fairs and I spend around $400 on my bunny each year.
Thank you, so helpful! We just got our little bugs, and we are so excited. Promise I'll take good care of our little bunny.
My rabbit is a mummys boy, he can't get enough cuddles. He gets in a stomp when I put him down! I am extremely lucky, he is so affectionate and loves fusses and his gives you kisses too! Lovely video, great tips! Thank you x
How do I stop my bunnies from selective feeding? As my bunnies came with the feed and I can't get them of off it. I want them to have mainly pellets but with a few odd treats in the mix. Every time i stop giving them the mix they don't appear to eat the pellets and I fear they're not getting the food they need for their diets as a result.
You can get them off of it. Look it up..
Buy the right feed and then add a little to the feed they are getting now e.g. 10% new feed and 90% current feed. Gradually up the new feed each day and reduce the current feed til they are used to the new one. Take your time and it'll be fine.
Really recommend watching Lennon the bunny as you some mistakes😕
What mistakes you talking about just wondering
Thank you! I have a rabbit and always trying to find ways to keep her happy.
My rabbit has lived (so far) for 5 years (going to his six) and he has never eaten hay before but i still love how much info u have shared with us thx for that :)
CoolBlue NightCore I know this is a year late and I hope your rabbit is still healthy, but you should feed them hay 24/7 it’s 80% of their diet, it gives them the fiber they need to digest their food, if their digestive system shuts down due to a lack of fiber they can go into something that is known as GI stasis which is very deadly and won’t show many symptoms until it’s too late, so just please go the extra mile to give him some Timothy hay, maybe orchard grass or meadow hay, he will thank you
I’ve been holding him and found out this is considered threatening 😥
Majority of Rabbits love being cuddled and picked up just not all of them and another thing that no one mentioned is when other people come round to see your rabbit I have a big huge family mainly full of children under the age of 16+ so i'm thinking don't they get uncomfortable if everyone pick them up hmm
Zainab ali
My buns love when family come, toffie follows all the toddlers around it's super cute! Blu loves the attention of everyone petting him :)
tbh the reason why your bunny doesn’t like being picked up is probably because you don’t have a good bond with her and she doesn’t trust you. my 3 year old netherland dwarf is free and likes my bedroom the most. he comes up to me and gives me kisses and sits on my knee, he loves cuddles and being picked up
You are so smart! Thanks a lot for a great video and learning experience!
when i pick up one of my rabbits she rubs her face and chin on me and another one of my rabbits constantly climbs up my back or arms and will lie across my shoulders behind my neck
abbie mckelvie omg same if I picked them up because maybe I'm cleaning their hucth and they won't leave I pick them up and they go on my back and try to jump which is terryfying for me
yeah they can scare you sometimes one time my rabbit managed to get her head stuck in my jumper and was chocking but i managed to get her in time i was terrified
abbie mckelvie wow glad its okay ,you are a very good owner!
thank's a lot you seem like you would be a pretty good owner yourself
abbie mckelvie lucky
My rabbit won't eat healthy 😣 he only eats pellets.
He won't eat any hay or veg I
give him, I really don't know what to do. Any advice? Btw he doesn't have very good teeth x
Estèlla maybe you can give him less pellets
ill try
If you feed less pellets he will be hungry enough to eat the hay
Try giving him braces🤔
If I were you I would chop up veggies really small and mix them with your bunny's pellets and for his/her teeth maybe purchase wood toys for him/her to chew on
I'm soon getting my very first pet rabbit & I know very little about them, so I'm trying to get advice wherever I can. I'm physically disabled & spend much of my time confined to my room, so my mum is hoping to get me a small indoor rabbit that won't mind too much about being handled; sort of like a therapy pet. The hutch will probably be in my bedroom & the temperature of my room is always changing (although we have oil heating through radiators, I like to use an electric/remote-control fan to keep the room from getting too warm), though I've heard this is probably a good thing. I also just recently got a mini-fridge as an early 30th birthday gift, so I could easily keep fruit/veg inside it for my new rabbit. I'll be doing whatever I can to ensure my new pet is healthy & happy (& he/she will be very much loved), but I'll still need all the help I can get. I'd be very grateful if anyone here can possibly offer me some advice for looking after my new rabbit. Much appreciated... 💕✨🐰✨💕
I have a hutch, it’s very warm and I have put lots of blankets in there, shadow loves it tbh planning on getting her an exercise pen soon
My bunny loves being cuddled. ^♡^ He loves being carried around like a baby (surprised myself and my grandmother) and he just relaxes in my arms and he just loves it. He's absolutely adorable. ♡
Toby and Trans I
Toby and Trans Being carried like a baby on their backs is extremely dangerous. It can kill them very quickly depending on the bunny.
This is a great video. You did a very good job! Thank you.
Thank you :D
One of my bunnies always loooves to be held, carried around and picked up. He cuddles in my arms for hours.i never realized how lucky I was to have a bunny like that until I got Ollie, my second bunny. He likes to be pet, but he isn’t too social. He hates being held and cuddled. Anyways, awesome video! Great information. There are so many people that get bunnies without any research and that bunny has to go through it’s life in torture! Hopefully every rabbit owner watches this video :D
Very well done. I've had rabbits for a few months now, and have indeed learned from making all these mistakes.
My cats hunt cottontail rabbits all the time
They are scared of domestic ones 😂😂lmao
I actually have to feed my rabbit lots of pellets. She is actually kinda lightweight for her breed. The vet told me
She is such a cute rabbit! Thank you for the wonderful information - you did a great job!
My bunny loves being picked up but she hates being picked up and being beside your neck you can tell because if your put her near your neck she’ll bite you. How she likes being held is like a baby like her back lays in your hands and her feet and hands touch your body and she just closes her eyes sometimes 😍
you NEED to hold your rabbit!!!!! sooooooooooo many reasons why!!!
1; to check for fleas, or get shots, or to even clip their nails!
2. they get bored an lonely very quickly! if you leave them cooped up all day and never touch them; then they become aggressive!!!!!!
3; if your rabbit doesnt like to be picked up or growls at you, well then you need to pick them up more often! theyre scared and dont want anything to do with you if you dont care for them!!!
4; if they freak out when you hold them, then that might be because youre holding them wrong.
i have had many bunnies, my first bunny i never held because of what others said. but i got more and started to hold them more and their attitude changed!!! they all loved me! and not a single rabbit growled at me when i picked them up! they actually gave me kisses and wanted me to hold them longer! i set them down and they hop right back up to me!
dont always listen to people, they may have wrong info, look up REAL info from someone who actually IS a rabbit expert!!!
You're not a rabbit expert, and your advice is terrible. If I were to listen to you, I would think my rabbit hates me. She doesn't. She hates children, unfamiliar women, and probably you if she met you. She also hates being picked up almost as much as she hates towels.
I hug my rabbit (on the floor obviously). I cover my rabbits eyes and stoke her (it makes her feel safe). I stroke her to music (weird but she is really into it). I throw chew toys her way to play with (she only likes toys she can eat/chew). I let her follow me upstairs almost every time I go to get something (sometimes it's like hide and seek). She loves all of that. She loves me because she is bonded to me.
Fuck you for suggesting she hates me.
You are right that you need to be able to pick up your rabbit to check for health problems, especially during summer with the risk of fly strike their rear end needs to be checked twice a day.
My rabbit would prefer not to be held but she doesn’t hate it and I hold her often I pet her which she loves, but I thought that it’s becuse I have handled her since she was just in the nest her mother made, my rabbit does have an additude due to the fact I adopted her from my school. My rabbit loves to chew on anything which is why we cannot leave her out by herself anymore. My rabbit also loves other animals especially cats, for what ever reason when ever ours is in the room my rabbit will fallow her while still in the cage trying to get to her.
Phijkchu Shuckle rabbits are all different whatever you have been doing with them since day one carry on xxx it’s your rabbit and if she hates u, she will learn to like you again give it time you will see,I have the same problem with my rabbit but when I sit and stroke her and talk to her about how I feel about her she sorta sits in my lap, if you rabbit sits in your lap just stroke her don’t move her cos she will be comfortable the way she was originally xxx hope this helps
OH and I almost forgot, give her a treat each day if u want to and try to train her cos rabbits like that xxx let me know if this helps xxxxxx😘😘
Luna Night awww what a brave rabbit you must be doing something right keep it up cx
Is your rabbit fat, or is that how their breed looks like?
Mike Hamada I was thinking the same thing, lmao
Mike Hamada That's just how the breed is and also the very fluffy fir.
Wow I had no idea about the food. Mine graze on grass all day and have access to hay, leaves, twigs. I feed them Adult Rabbit Food once a day which is pellets that have little orange carrot looking things along with a variety of seeds. I don't think it's as bad as what you described but I will definitely look at it closer.
I rescued my rabbit he was being abused by my neighbours and I took him home with me and he wouldn't let anyone pick him up he would kick and bite but for some reason when I Len him loose or wonder around my bed room he cuddles with me and he let's me pick him up, also my rabbit is very cheap as we feed him pellets which for me is 30$ every 8 months for feed. We give him our left over veggies and fruits or fresh from the garden. He loves the green leaves from corn on the cob and for about every 3 months my litter cost 5$. And for the rabbit run it was free for me to build as I used trees and logs from the bush in my back yard so every year he cost about 85$ which is very cheap
You're not taking care of your rabbit right, at all. Hence the reason you think it's so cheap. I rescued 2 rabbits and I go through a 2 string bales of hay every 4 to 5 weeks and a pay 50$ for my bale (which is on the cheaper side) rabbits are supposed to have unlimited supplies of hay at ALL TIMES! Also they're supposed to have at least a half a cup of leafy greens everyday unless the poop gets mooshy then you'd slow down or feed them every other day instead of every day, then comes pellets, which should be Timothy hay based, not cheap. I pay 20$ a month on pellets, on top of chew toys because their teeth never stop growing, they need to be drinking out of dishes not bottles... As they drink as much as a 60 pound dog. Rabbits are very special animals, as are all animals but they're different, they require a lot more than 85$ a yeAr. I spend that and some a month on my rabbits. You should do some more research otherwise your rabbits are going to die.
Are you even feeding your rabbits hay?
Never made any of these mistakes other then..
My rabbits freaking love to be cuddled and held, they come over and jump on my knee for cuddles. Sorry but the fact they don't like cuddles or being held is BS
holly.n.betsy it's not BS! My bunny hates being petted and cuddled. Maybe it's just your bunny that likes being petted, good for you 😪
holly.n.betsy same my rabbits loves that to
It isn't BS, rabbits are just like people in that some are affectionate and others are not. For example, my first rabbit would tug on your clothes until you picked him up, as well as sit on any paperwork you were doing until you paid attention to him. However, my current rabbit is nowhere near as happy with being picked up, he just prefers to run around by himself and will throw a fit if held for very long.
holly.n.betsy same I walk in the house and he’s all over me rubs his chin and rolls on me
Try picking up my rabbit. Although I'd advice against it if you value your arms. I'd advise against trying to use a towel to do that if you value your life. She's perfectly fine otherwise, I've learned to cuddle her while she's on the ground. It makes her feel safe because she feels like she is hiding.
Learned the hard way that wean down your pellets quick as possible. Once they get used to the OxBow pellets its hard to find a hay your bunndy will eat. Through trial and error though I finally found a meadow grass my bunny will eat. Had a hard time because fed her to many pellets as she was young. Now a year later finally got her diet on what is advised.
My rabbit loves too be picked up and cuddled. She was 4 months old when I got her and since day one cuddles and snuggles all day everyday. She loves kids My nephew is 4 and she tolerates him really really well has never bit him. I baby her when she was small she loved too sleep on my chest wraped a fleece blanket. she would lay with me and I had too cuddle her every night or she wouldn't sleep. My bunny is amazing❤❤.
this was such a good video!!😄
Yvonne Okeson thank you :)
rabbits are actually really affectionate
Not all bunnies are. My two bunnies are though!
I love your voice, it sounds like something from a children's show 😊 it makes me feel all warm and nostalgic
Mads H that’s because she’s a child
Thank you, I was taking notes the whole time because I am getting a rabbit for 4H.
I have six rabbits... And they ALL love to be picked up and snuggled. Some of them like to be "parrot bunnies" and ride around on my shoulders
One common mistake, leaving your bunny outside! Causes heat stroke!!!!#
Rabbits can like outside happily
@@mufcfan9705 well we wont argue, but nice to know#
Yep!!
Katie Swan no they can’t
What about predotors?
Also, dosn't that depend on the season, and where you live?
I have 5 bunny pets and theyre adorable...pretty much they all like to be cuddled and kissed . Id say 3 of my bunnies are extremely affectionate omg, its unbelievable i adore them. They are expensive though , phew. Im a stay home wife so i have plenty of time to take care of them and thankfully we can provide them with what they need..i recommend a rabbit as a furry companion but only if youre willing to care for them as if theyre literally your children.
Cool video! Thanks for the tips. I didn't know rabbits hated being picked up and I don't usually cuddle mine but it's nice to know!
Melissa H :)
I love your accent!😊
Oh honey, I don't know how old you are and I am pretty new to this lovely channel but you spell meusli like this 'muesli'.
But apart from that, you have earned a new subscriber! I will definitely tell my friends about this channel as it is just so lovely ❤️️❤️❤️️❤️
Like if you are a subscriber!!!!!😄
One of the best videos i have seen, thank you!
Charlie's Corner. I think you owe this kid an apology, she has spelt MUESLI correctly, no offence mate but you should wind your neck in a bit rather being such a patronising pedant and picking on little kids.
you are the wrong one, it’s muesli.
first!!! btw you have such a great and beautiful bunny😊😊😊🐰🐰🐰
Thank you so much :)
Thank you too for reply! 😃😃😃
My rabbit tells me when he want to be picked up and cuddle, all my rabbits have. He nudge me with his head and than stand up on his back leg, making it easier for me to pick him up.
In the beginning he didn’t like being held, cuddle or picked up but with treats and showing him, he had nothing to fear. He only relax fully when he sleeps on my chest and plays close to me.
How can you say that: Rabbits 🐇 are cheap. They are so cute and cuddly
They are cheap to buy - they are So Not cheap to look after IF you know and actually DO all they need. Yes they are super cute and cuddly, but most bunnies particularly the older they get don't like being held. Snuggled up next to you or on your lap-Yes, walked around with - not so much. Your little Bunny looks super cute though :D
Mighty Squirrel mine bunny
She said they're NOT cheap.
What is the bunny eating? That can't possibly be for rabbits. Also, is that just weeds from outside? 😂
Lexiliscious101 My rabbits love to -smoke- eat weed
Lexiliscious101
whenever I go biking in a forest, I often see glances of rabbits eating grass. It is a pretty normal thing for them to do
Weeds from outside and all the fresh grass they can eat is what mine get in Summer. Winter is hay plus pellets and organic veggies from the supermarket.
adamnealis
Grass. And vegetables and veggies? I hope so
Alexis Aurora They love weeds ! Especially dandelions
Some bunnies eye lashes curl under instead of up (as normal). The lashes can be trained to curl up by massaging vaseline using an upward motion twice a day, thus training the lashes to curl up.....it does work, I know, because I have done it!
My bunny Crunchie stopped eating his hay probably only yesterday so I put in a like a huge wall of hay in the corner of his bedroom. He is quite lazy so this means he doesn't need to go far when he wakes up to get to his hay. Also, I hide small carrot blocks and kale pieces inside his hay along with a couple pellets/nuggets. I found out the main reason he stopped eating his hay was just because he had too many pellets which stop him eating his hay. So that is why I put his nuggets in his hay wall so he is kinda being forced to forage for his pellets and also eat some hay as well. But you should seriouly see his breakfast xD I am so proud to be a bunny owner so I put a few pellets in the middle with kale round the edges and hay sticking out and a few carrot sticks too. It's called the Big Kings Brekkie cx
I don’t think you should be giving advice when you’re making so many mistakes in this video.
1. Bunnies don’t belong outdoors, they’re prey animals, outdoors leaves bunny’s so vulnerable and scared and isolated.
2. That tiny hayrack you’re giving her hay is far too small, she won’t be able to graze and pick her hay out of those tiny holes.
3. Rabbits don’t belong in cages 🥺
Yeah she shouldn’t be able to have rabbits.
It's rare that people in the uk have rabbits living indoors, I've been keeping rabbits since I was a child and I'm now 25 never had a single issue with them being outdoors.. if it snows we bring them inside, their hutches have a warm and waterproof cover. They get let out for play and exercise time and are safely tucked up in their hutches at night. If it's worked fine all these years and my rabbits are happy and healthy what's the problem? I also have an older rabbit that has free roam in the house as hes old and needs extra care.
Did u know that U talk like a rabbit
My bunny has full run of the first floor. No hutch or cage. She has a hiding house but is only in there when the fan is on (hates drafts). She is such a happy and spoiled girl!
Cute very good video thank you for sharing. Thank you for saying about $$$$ of having an animal. People turn out animals once they realize they cost money. You’re a very good bunny parent
What if I want a fat rabbit ,?
Their diet should actually mainly be their pellets, grass and hay😌 vegetables should be rarely fed and fruit VERY rarely ☺️ good video though, and cute rabbit!
mdfouru I don't know what that is lol I'm 14 and I've had three rabbits and the vets we took all of them to always said there diet should mainly consist of hay and pellets, but I guess different vets tell you different things, which is honestly pretty bad.
mdfouru it's like with the bunny I currently have, she is 5 months old and she is let out everyday and eats grass and she always has unlimited hay in her hutch, and she also has pellets which we fill halfway and it's a regular rabbit food bowl, but thankyou for the information! I'll keep that in mind :)
mdfouru omg now I feel so bad, I've been feeding my 3 rabbits mainly hay and pellets all this time. Do you think it affected them in anyway?
Freya Clarke sorry but you can go without feeding pellets with your rabbits they need vedge daily :) but you are correct about hay 😊
Paws To Claws ok thankyou for the help! 😀
One small note often rabbits love to be petted and cuddled but they don’t like being picked up. It’s like a catch 22. Sometimes it’s how you pick them up as well.
My bunny will practically kill me if I pick him up. But he snuggles and cuddles as long as I don’t pick him up
I feel like u don’t even know anything about rabbits and just have them and look up facts
Ok hun you are supposed to pick your rabbits up it keeps your rabbit from getting mean you are supposed to give your rabbit a lot of love learn your facts before you try to share them if your rabbit doesn't like you to pick them up they are most likely not a friendly rabbit
Julia Thesing no. They are prey animals and hate being picked up. Sometimes they learn to tolerate it.
All Rabbits are basically prey animals, most of them don't tolerate being picked up. If they do it's because they grew accustomed to getting picked up, but for the most part, you should try not to because they don't particularly like it. Coming from a vet major.
Kaylaa victoriaa vet major?
Kaylaa victoriaa in your profile picture you like 12 I don't believe you for a second
Siân Gray all of my rabbits love being picked up so I'm pretty sure neither of you are are right
Snowdrop js gorgeous and you made a great video. Thank you 😊
I keep trying to convince my parents to bring my bunny to the vet but they say things like "it's too expensive!" And "Outdoor rabbits don't need to go to the vet!" Which really infuriates me.
Meme Salsa it’s honestly not super expensive for rabbits, I know it’s different everywhere but it’s only $40 to get male rabbits fixed and $65 for females, and that’s nothing compared to the hundreds of dollars that you need for dogs and cats, so keep on going and try to convince them, fixing rabbits prolongs their life span and if your rabbit is a female it will basically eliminates the risk of reproductive cancer
Rabbits need an annual exam and bloodwork at 5 years of age and every year after. John Keating, Licensed Rabbit Educator.
bullshit rabbits love social interaction ESPECIALLY being picked up and cuddled. I don't know where you got that from but im sorry, its just not true
Bodie Kolosque well most rabbits don't...yes there are times when they wanna be held by someone but most of the times they don't want it..but hey if your rabbit loves it then cool cool
😾
Bodie Kolosque not all do I have 15 rabbits some do like to be picked up but don't like to be cuddled while others don't like being picked up but once there on your lap they love to be pet... so no not all rabbits like set interactions each rabbit is so different...
In 5 years, our rabbit got used to our family and sometimes approaches to us expecting cuddles. But he hates to be picked up like a human child, despite my sister picking him up and hugging since he was a baby. Until now I can see him widening his eyes in fear. So I guess it isn't the same for all rabbits.
Bodie Kolosque Well of course they love social interaction and attention, but I've had over ten rabbits and none have ever liked being picked up. They're not cats. They're fine sitting on you or being pet, but once the ground is out from under them without their consent, look out!
My buns LOVE to be cuddled! They love being carried around like big ole babies. In fact if I’m ever not loving on them or cuddling them they get mad and pout haha
I have 2 rabbits that I have had for about 7 years and I have had rabbits since I was 4 but we recently adopted another rabbit that had to be rehomed as she was fighting with the other rabbit (it got so bad she only has half an ear on one side) We adopted her and she's seems happy in herself she is eating well, is curious and comes up to greet us, plays, binkys etc, however we can not touch her and I don't know what to do, she has bit my husband a few times (he's braver than me and is more confident) but as soon as we tough her she gets so angry and will go for us, she's fine if I stroke her paws through the hutch/run but as soon as it involves more touching she goes crazy. I just don't know what to do as we can't check her or anything like that. I can't even clean the hutch out with her in there because she just attacks. We have to attach her hutch (an inside hutch) to the side door of the run outside as it's the only way to give her exercise, which isn't easy when your on your own! Does anyone have any tips on what we can do? P.S she had been spayed
Some tips from someone who has a bun from a rescue: my buns name is cas, he was a rescue from a rabbit sanctuary. Please get good quality food, oxbow is the best, and any kind of hay except alfalfa is good for adults. Bowls of water are also good instead of those weird hanging drip water bottles
Beautiful and thank you!
Great video! Our two rabbits are the same, they hate being picked up. By the way, our Champagne looks exactly like your bunny!
Je vais m'acheter un autre lapin. C'est trop mignon.
I built a giant rabbit hutch for my two rabbits. I made a small tunnel going from that to a cage into the grass into another hutch. Think they love it XD
When we first got my bunnies, they lived in a hutch for about a week. It was two floors, one for sleeping, and one for litter box, food, and water. We then spent an entire weekend building them a pen. They now get the run of the entire backyard xD My two bunnies are about three years old now. We only keep them in the hutch during the night, just to be sure, because lots of animals come into our yard at night (i.g. rats, raccoons, and coyotes come out into the streets) Other than that, they live outside alllll the time. :D
Where did you buy the enclosure for Snowdrop? Or was it built manually?
Where is your hutch from?? Great video👌🏻
great video! I wish my friend would watch this haha ;) (she's a first time owner who makes these mistakes) xz
