My name is Amy and I am the Bunny Lady!
I am a lifelong rabbit lover and have been specializing with rabbits at my local animal shelter. I am here to make sure all of you rabbit caretakers have everything you need to have a happy and healthy bunny in your home.
My mission is to help you fellow rabbit lovers get all the resources you need to help your rabbits thrive. A happy bunny is the best companion, and they are worth all the trouble those little fluffballs cause. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Oh boy is the dead bunny flop a scary thing when you're first waking up in the morning and your normally excited bunny isn't responding to your movements. That's one heck of a wake-up call. Good news, it was a literal flop. Bad news, I aged a few years from that scare. LMAO
My rabbits shake their ears and do mini-binkies when treats and breakfast is involved.
I am a new bunny parent and your videos are absolutely invaluable and so reassuring! I didn't intend to get a bunny but Nyx is a rescue and I had to scramble to get him set up. As I type this two weeks in he is napping on his side, leaning against me, eyes closed, occasionally purring and a lot of that is down to your help. So thank you from both Nyx and me!
Interestingly, my rabbit thumped right in-front of my face while I was sleeping . I woke up frightened and I was wondering this whole time why she would do that. She always jump onto my bed around 5-6AM to wake me up with a thump. Now, I know that she just wanted my attention 😆. I thought thumping only meant scared or angry behavior.
Circling is my favorite thing ever, my boy would even grunt make little happy honking noises 😂
My rabbits love licking the carpet! 😂 Dexter has chinned everything in the house to the point where he has a mini Gandalf type beard! 🤣 Sometimes they make a clicking noise with their teeth when they're being groomed, it's the cutest thing! ☺️🐇
When they make a clicking noise with their teeth (when something positive is happening like pets) it’s actually them purring
My girl boxes me when I’m brushing her haha 😂 she actually hop up and kinda digs on me. She’s my sweet angry girl lol
Thanks so much
Besides your translations being more than excellent you have illustrated this dictionary with such great examples!
I am fostering a bunny. And this video was super helpful. Thanks! 🐇
When I first saw my bunny flop, I knew at that time it was a flop and not something bad, but anyway it did look kinda scary to see, even though it's normal.😂❤
My first bunny would flop onto her side just like what Ellie did. I liked to call it the shplaa... So adorable 😍 Thank you for an informative video, very needed.
I can’t remember where, maybe Amy, but I read the chinning actually leaves a sort of glow in the dark “breadcrumbs” so they can find their way in the dark. We hear our buns zooming around , but they never crash into anything.
Thank you. I found your website before knowing you had this channel. Great help. You helped me a ton. Only 3 weeks into raising my 2 mini rex angoras. They are 16 and 14 weeks old.
Oh BL I love you and Elisive &Teddybear! You speak ‘“Rabbit” so well! Many of these chapters gave me joyful chills and thrills of recognition, making me each time even more love these beautiful amazingly special beings that so often grant us the honor of seeing and treating us as their -very strange shorte-eared long-legged- peers. Sharing this on my Boer Konijn Facebook page as the best yet visual dictionary of Rabbit bodylanguage. I alway tell people that even though rabbits rarely are vocal they do talk so much all day long amongst themselves and to us -if they find us worthy- to us (aw well even if they do not find us worthy, but those usually very, very short one-way conversations lol)
I love your videos, I got my baby Rex bunny 3 weeks ago and all your videos helped me so much to learn how to be a bunny mom!♥️♥️
Thank you for this! 🐇
These videos are really useful for my birju (rabbit) 😁
Another great video. Hope you have a great weekend!
The rabbit flop is the cutest thing ever 🤗
🥰 awww 🥰
Great insights loaded with subtleties and behavior characteristics that will certainly be of great help to rabbit owners . I learned a a lot and will be referring back to it from time to time.
Thanks for these videos, they’re so informative. My boy bun will thump right before he takes off to zoom and binky. We thought he was mad at first, but then realized that for him, it seems more like he’s gearing up to take off. 😆
Our bunny licks his best friend basketball 🏀🤣 also our son's soft blanket get obsessively licked, sometimes while you're petting him other times just for nothing lol
Very nice video!
Yeah! , first time I saw them flopping , I was really scared
Really helpful video.
Please make a video on behavioural changes after neutering. It's really needed at this time.😞
I have a Holland lop . So the ear part is hard for me to compare in my situation lol
One of bunnies is very territorial, I put them in my vlog as well. They are adopted pets.
If u would bring out a book, i would insta buy it! When I get my rabbits in 1 or 2 years I need to rewatch every vid and take notes :D ♥
So one of my rabbits is deaf.. Part Holland Lop but his ears aren't completely down.. And we never really see him communicate with his ears, he doesn't move em at all they just kinda block his view 😅
But he has thumped at me when trying to get him in his carrier. I wonder if he knows he's making noise or how that instinct is there even though he can't hear 🤨
We love our little floppy eared Winston ❤
I Love the Bunny flop
Heyy!!!
Thanks for this helpful video.
I really need a video on bunny behaviours after neutering. What are the changes and what things remain same? Do they fight with other rabbits even after getting fixed and is the territorial behaviour still there after neutering???
I really really need all these information.
😞
First time I saw my rabbit do a binky I thought he was gonna charge me. LOL.
Hi. I just found your channel, and I love everything about it. It is helping me figure out about my bunny. He is adopted from a shelter. His owner passed away. That is why. Anyways, I really need help in understanding why in the morning he always runs away and hides in his little home. Not even treats bring him out. Is it something I am doing wrong?
Good vid, appreciated :)
You missed one important behavior tho: Digging!
Apart from it simply being a natural behavior and fun for them, they can also "angry dig", my female bunny does this especially when in the box on the way to the vet, she will angryly dig the hay arround, looks really cute but she is pissed :D
❤🐰
You are so knowledgeable ❤ I do have 2 rabbits that don't get along how can I properly introduce or reintroduce...
I took them to my enclosed yard as they were not exposed to it before (neutral indoor pen zones didn't work). I did it 2 times and when I put them back in their indoor pens they became affectionate thru the fencing. Took em outside a 3rd time. After that, I put them together indoor same pen and they bonded!! I had the couple for 11 years😊
I am using this to help design rabbit AI for a game.
Im having to panacur both my rabbits again because of one of them having an e cuniculi tilt and roll atm, and the other rabbit it really annoyed about being medicated. So im getting angry thumps and foot flicks after i syringe her every day.
Her sister is more annoyed that i keep on putting her in a laundry basket when she starts to roll, she doesnt like not being able to get to her litter tray when she wants to, but im not going to let her roll across the room to it when she wants to go, and she hates sitting in it when she's not using it, so laundry basket until she stops rolling and then just changing out the towels in there it is!
Sorry for the ramble. Shes improving slowly but its been a week of sleeping on the sofa for me so far.
Thanks for your awesome videos.
Huh, so my rabbit isn't being gross, he's claiming my house as his own...
I appreciate the content and advice but how to tell for lop ears they do not move the ears in that way
Do you have a litter box video?
Any help on cottontail bunnies? I just rescued a cottontail from outside a month ago and I’m trying to get him to trust me more but is there any advice you can give me that would be amazing it is very hard to find anything at all and I want to make sure he is happy! Thank you!!
My bunny passed away Monday I really miss him so much. I still can’t believe it. All I can do is crying
I’m so sorry. Been there. It’s terrible.
@@Chorkymom it really is,. Also sorry for you, hope your doing ok! Im still not over it yet I miss him him so much
Hey Amy how would you punish a rabbit if it did something bad I mean just to tell him not to do that not like hitting it
Never punish a rabbit, they don't understand the concept and just become scared. Best is to behave offended in Rabbitspeak: go sit right next to them but turn your back, every once in while looking over your shoulder as of to check if it actually does see you do so. Meanwhile act as if your very interested and busy investigating something imaginary in front of you on the ground, some dig moves and sounds scratching the floorr. Very likely it will soon try to get your attention or perhaps even start grooming itself as you watch it. That is a peace-signal and you should answer it soon with likewise movements, very good chance once it sees you answer out will hip up to you for a very shy careful touch of nose to gently offered hand
Rabbits understand being offended very well, they sometimes show you their behinds hopping away from you whilst ki king their back legs up as ik to kick and in your face and ignore you for a while.
👍
Lola gets mad, when I stop petting her cheecks. She chews the living hell out of the wooden cage.. any advice on chewing the cage, Amy? 🥲
What age they can under go to training tricks?
Where did u get the t shirt
I believe it's her own merch
I recently rescued a rabbit and he shakes his ears when I give him treats sometimes. What might he mean? I think it isn't a binky since its only his ears/head
My bunny twitches his butt when i give him tasty treats, maybe that means that he's enjoying the treat?
My bunny circled all the time before he was neutered, he doesn't do it anymore.
People always say about the ears but what about lops how are you meant to tell
As soon as Eloise gives a high-5, I thumb up video.
This happens often with our bun he just flops over on his side head down and all.. yesterday I knew he wasn't dead so I told the kids to let him rest he was only resting,but then I had to go see because he did look dead he's all black so you can't tell when his eyes are closed lol
My neighbor released some bunnies that he had and they moved to my back yard. The bunnies that he released are digging holes in the yard and around the house making a mess of things. Why are they displaying this behavior?
How do you get your bunny to high five?
🐇👍❤💋 толстичек ,надо его на диету!
My rabbit ran up to me yesterday while I was walking, she didn't bite me, she just ran up to me, what does that mean?
can rabbits glare at you? I swear sometimes she's plotting my demise
Yes! Any has a tee with an angry glare on it. Haha
My bunny keeps on biting me I don't know what to do it scares me and I jump and it scares my bunny
My rabbit likes to lick my knees-
Hello...i just brought rabbits that are 2 month old...i wanted to ask if it okay for them to sleep outside in 27 degree Celsius temperature?
Wtf.... no that is not okay
One of my boys thumps for attention. He'll go to another room and be all mad we're not in there with him, so he thumps repeatedly lol drama king
Hahahaha
