➭ PLEASE sponsor a bunny and help Adopt a Bunny Rabbit, Inc. raise funds to get the bunnies spayed/neutered and the right medical care so they can be adopted into good homes and be pulled from this sad situation:

Lennon the bunny how do you tell the difference between a male bunny and a female bunny
Lennon The Bunny I save money !!!!!
I want to adopt but I live in the uk
Poor bunnys
and I love you videos
I love you and everything that you do you inspire me soo much
Props to the hoarder for actually owning up to her failures. Too often they deflect blame or refuse to acknowledge the situation. Glad this video exists to spread the word about things like this and maybe encourage someone who IS in this situation to open up their eyes.
Skunkers that’s true I think some people don’t give them much of a chance they just view them as an awful person and the could be discouraged to save them I’m glad that they were helpful for the bunny’s sake you two are hero’s 😊
Not arguing at all but I mean she waited until the situation was pretty dire I wouldn't give her too much credit also she's saying she can't afford vegetables for her 60 rabbits mean while she certainly isn't going hungry.. I have no empathy for people like her, wish we could lock her in her rabbit shed
@@kendram13 People like her > People who continue to do and continue to think it's okay.
Hoarding is a psychological disorder, please be mindful.
Very true but I feel she’s only owning up because she’s caught and if they didn’t catch her in the act she wouldn’t have changed anything. If this was going on for SO LONG and she’s owning up she would’ve known for a looong time, and that poor beaten up bunny was gettin hurt since birth but she kept putting him back... she should’ve stopped trying to re introduce him. Poor babies- so many mites and ear infections.
The worst part was that Oscar still looked happy and curious even though he was really hurt 😢
Thats the good part atleast he has hope
Werewolf Queen how is that bad. It’s good that he’s able to feel safe in their home and he doesn’t focus on his past.
I don’t know it just made me cry
What are you on
@@lizardpoo8524 human emotions. maybe you should try it
Ugh as a rabbit owner of 3 beautiful buns this breaks my heart to see the condition of that rabbit😭😭😭😭 also for a rabbit who has been though so much, he is very chill....
I watch your videos and really enjoy them I also have 2 rabbits and it breaks my heart to see the condition they’re kept in 😢😢
I have a bunny and I will not want to loose him love your channel
The "calmness" is because he is scared. Rabbits look calm when they are scared
He's probably chilling and happy as he knows no different 😭
I didn’t know u have bunnies too!!! I’d love to see a video of all ur pets.
I'm actually proud of the woman for owning up and knowing what she did is wrong.
Mmee too
She did wrong but bunnies are fast in getting a new litter very quick. They are also very late to tell the gender of them, I do not support this hoarding but bunnies can have a new litter before even their sex can been maked sure..they are ready for it by 8weeks but to tell their actally gender is about 10-12 weeks old..It's not easy to tell..and proberly she thought that during the 8 week and then suprise a girl by 8 week was actally a boy and a boy was actally a girl and then it goes on..It's not a easy one to tell their actally gender it's not good what, she did but it tells she didn't know or she thought at male was a male and yet a girl and when she thought girl was a girl but was a male...It's not easy and get's out of control..that's why she reached out..
Is there really an excuse for pure ignorance and stupidity that leads to innocent animals getting hurt and/or killed? Ignorance and stupidity that could have been cured with just a small amount of research by conducting just a couple of simple Google searches. Its not difficult to research how to take care of an animal properly.. And here's a shocking, mind altering, absolutely insane thought... if you don't know how to take care of an animal properly then maybe you should NOT own the animal, let alone dozens of them. 😮 mind blown, right?!
@@toofunny001 true. Agree with you and there is no excuse for such thing, this women did, it's not okay and she shouldn't have bunnies or any animal at all but she did atleast something to get help but it's a bit late too. So, yeah and google can give false informations too as she should have acted much earlier before it came out hand and no animal deserves this..
I Hate her so much like letting the bunnies get hurt i cant rn
When I'm older I'm gonna try to start a bunny/hamster/small animal shelter
Max same
Me too!
Same
Max may I join you?
IM gonna do that with lots of different animal's
Omg That first bunny Oscar broke my heart
Ikr me too
Me too!!! :'(
winged_ cat_45 yes it broke my heart and made me cry🥺
Poor bunnies
winged_ cat_45
I covered my guinea pig’s eyes bc the other one was in the cage.
Like it was sad.
I don't get people saying she's rude to the hoarder? Not even the hoarder seems offended. I watch till the end and she's always talking in calm manner
Let's Read Textbook yeah and it would be hard not to be mean after what she did
Horsey Dreams no, don’t be rude. period
Jessicah McClain You must be rude in order for someone to understand. Especially in this situation you have to be blunt about it or they might not even try.
Official_Kawaii Bunny Girl how am I rude? I am telling her to NOT be rude.
@@waaaaa3402 I'd just like to point out that they've been working with this woman for a while now.
The woman has been seeking help, they helped her with 2 bunnies. And now they're returning.
The woman already knows. A woman that wouldn't know what she did wrong, would say; 'Yeah but so what?' and 'what are you doing, leave them alone, I want to keep them.'
oscar is such a strong bunny. despite his scars, he is still doing his own thing. this is really sad and concerning to know that bunnies aren’t being treated the way they should. hopefully when i get a little older, im able to spread awareness too and help a bunny out.
right, and they even mentioned he’s been attacked since he was a little baby, most rabbits would develop some type of temperament or aggression because they grew up with very bad living standards.. oscars so strong and sweet and he deserves the best life 🥺
This is such a nice comment. I agree with everything you said.
I hope they all get adopted out to good homes! Poor bunnies
:(
Aww the bunny has bites this is so sad 😭 I’m speechless this makes me feel sick that someone can own rabbits like this
I almost cried 😥 it's so depressing to see harm to a bunny :(
Well I do t think she wanted it to happen
I know she loves them though. She just can’t physically admit the fact/understand that she’s doing something wrong
Honestly as bad as it sounds its not her fault, its the mental illness around hoarding
Its sooooooooo bad im super sad for it
I don't understand the "I don't have money for Timothy Hay" when Timothy Hay is cheaper & more readily available than Alfalfa Hay
Thus depends on the area you are in.
Yeah that depends on the area for sure. Timothy Hayward I am at is very expensive. A small break of Timothy hay cost me more money than an entire bale of alfalfa
@@telsa7812 That is very true, although there are many online sources that can ship through out America. There has got to be one as cheap or cheaper then Alfalfa. Where I live Alfalfa is more expensive, but I go online and find many sources with Timothy hay cheaper.
Kaitlynn Sessler rabbits breed faster than any other mammal.....it happens
Skull Girrl yeah... it’s so sad that bunny owners don’t know that rabbits need Timothy hay. I got my rabbit and the breeder told me very good things. It’s better to buy a rabbit from a breeder or shelter.
I love how Oscar was so calm, like when Vicki was explaining the hoarding situation he was just like *om nom nom*
Yeah😊😊 He was so cute He’s “Like I’m gonna continue eating while you guys talk is that ok with you guys?”
He doesn’t even seem fazed that he’s hurt he’s just happy to be out of there I guess
I actually makes me sad and squeamish to look at poor Oscar's bites
As a bunny mom of 3 this brought tears to my eyes. Hurts to see how these bunnies live in awful conditions.... I'm glad you went to help out. You're such a good person.
Ms. Vercetti *So sad😭😭*
Same poor babys
I 100% agree with you. It is such a horrible living condition for these rabbits. It’s so sad to see they are forced to live like this
My heart hurt watching this! Those poor bunnies:( those bites:(
I owned two bunnies, Scooter and Monty. They're gone now, sadly. It's sad to see so many bunnies in such dire straits.
Oh poor Oscar! I wish I could just give him some TLC. Such a beautiful little boy. All these bunnies deserve so much more then being stuck in a chicken wire pen with nothing but pellets. This is awful! Love you and Lennon! 😭❤️🥰
I can't stop crying because that bunny looks like mine and I'm almost ready to let him free roam and I just need some more cord protectors then bye bye cage
Be sure to litter train them. I recommend getting rid of cage, and moving it into an enclosed exercise pen.
An exercise pen will have more room than a cage, but less than the full room. You litter train them in the bigger area of the exercise pen, then you transition to the full room.
Rapper Merch he is litter trained really well and it's too late now
Free roam buns. Respect.
Abster1234 O'Neil be sure he/she is fixed!!
So my bunny is a free range when I'm home will I need to use the pin transition when he can become a full free range?
I would adopt that little guy in a heartbeat if I weren't in Australia. Bless them I hope they find loving homes
Gday fellow Aussie!
same, I'm in the US but on the east coast. He's so precious. I would love to adopt him 🥺🥺
I would too but my apartment says we can’t have animals :(
Oscar is still beautiful despite his injuries. Bless his soul. ❤️
yea because ripped apart fleshy ears and suffering are so beautiful smh
So true 💓💗💞💕💖💝
generic lemon picture omg what a heartless person you are to say that.
Why don't you one day start a bunny shelter in LA? That would be so amazing and you already have so many people backing you up! Just a thought (:
KatherineKate YEEEAAAHH👍
It take a lot of work and money and I do think you can just buy
A shop and add in the stuff you need lots of permits and stuff so it would be cool
But really does not seem very realistic for her but it is just my opinion
It's not cheap.
Yesss! A bunny shelter would be perfect
KatherineKate it would be amazing and I’m all for it but it’s way to expensive
Yesterday, my teacher showed me a picture of her son (a baby) sitting next to a rabbit in an Easter photo. People need to be educated. Rabbits are not meant for Easter photos.
(Edit) thank you for being concerned. No, I didn’t tell her it was wrong, and yes, I regret it.
(Another edit) yes it is ok to take selfies with rabbits, but this situation is different. The rabbit did not look happy, sort of like the one in this video. It seemed so sad. Like i said, taking pictures of rabbits is ok as long as it is properly cared for.
Correct
My bunny's have been used as Easter bunnies and we took them away and. Called animal police and there banned in my town
Yep
Megan Ferrer you should probably tell your teacher to stop taking pictures with these rabbits
People take evrythng for sake of thr own entertainment..its so selfish
Me and my rabbit take selfies..but that's different
I hate how she keeps going "I can't afford it" "that would be a larger expense" ugh, she should have never had bunnies.
Ice Cream † yah, but also she probably could afford two bunnies, but then two became 60 and it’s very hard to afford 60 rabbits
How do you get to that many?
@@dark_baphomet have you heard the phrase breed like rabbits? They can breed like every month I think the lady didnt do enough research (but idk) and if she had, she probably would've had the first bunnies neutered and spayed or atleast separated.
dido of carthage that also is expensive and Lorelei had stated she couldn’t tell the difference in between males and females so she probably thought or was even TOLD they were the same gender which then she could’ve thought there’s no reason to get them fixed until she was in to deep
Ice Cream † Yeah...
I realize this situation is horrible, and it breaks my heart. But I felt like the lady with Oscar really did well telling you the situation and told you she is a hoarder and she is willing to get help and has let people help her to get them help and adopt them out. but I couldn't help but notice you came off a little judgmental towards her, even though she was owning up to her wrong in this horrible situation. I just feel like she needs some help for the rabbits for and her herself mentally, without being judged and asked why they don't get veggies with a comment like oh ummm? she gave a reasonable explanation it would be too much money. I have two house bunnies that I love dearly, but I couldn't imagine the cost of feeding 60 bunnies a proper diet....YIKES! I just don't see how anyone could do that, or maybe give her useful suggestions, like well you should grow a garden to cut down feed cost or can I put you in contact with some local farmers to possibly trade rabbit poop for veggies or hay. Tons of farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders will pay for rabbit poo. I just feel like you could have been more helpful I guess. I do love you bun and you videos. That is just my look on it. if you are still in contact maybe calling some local grocery stores for veggies they can't sell anymore would be a way to help her.
Yes, exactly! I was just about to comment the same thing. Being condescending toward a hoarder often makes them recoil and refuse help. She's obviously trying her best to handle the situation, so why question her past decisions? There's nothing you can do about them now, so why judge instead of finding more ways to help?
I agree she came off very judgmental with no helpful advice really
I understand what you're saying, but I can't help but realize that when you're witness to the condition of those poor animals, it's difficult to be objectively helpful and detached. She knew how much pain the poor bunnies were in and it was probably hard for her to contain her emotions as is; I'd be angry. As much as I would want to be level headed, I would be so, so angry. I think in future situations she'll be able to handle these situations differently, but it's going to be a journey.
She should have turned up with a rotisserie. Hoarding problem solved.
Mom gone domestic- she doesn't need to be coddled. Perhaps she just responded honestly, and just maybe she later thought to herself she could have worded things differently. Now your being judgemental after watching it. You may have responded the same not realizing it.
I hope all these bunnies will binky and find a proper home.😊❤️
Shelby Jean I like your enthusiasm!
Shelby Jean same
Oscar is an absolute trooper! His ear is in 3 parts and hes badly injured but hes still hanging on to life so he can find a good home!
Omg I’m so sorry for Oscar he’s/she’s such an sweet and cute bunny..
It’s a he :)
I want Oscar. I am on the East Coast though.
This is so unhealthy for them all . The owner should be hold accountable . No rabbit should be in this kind of environment.
at least she owned up and is reaching out for help. I'll give her props for that.
well she cant move all 60 bunnies to another place that can fit them all
especially when some of them r badly injured and doesnt even realize it
I don’t think she had bad intentions she just wasn’t educated enough
Tino stfu thise obviously wasn't her intentions she didn't expect this to be the outcome and she's making an effort because she's getting some of them fixed so that shows she's trying so you can actually stfu because if your not in her situation then u don't know what she's going through with them
@@Rebreakings so what she admited to a crime. What is wrong with you. I bet your a democrat. Democrats excuse criminal behavior dont vote
Wondering how little Oscar ended up? What a sweet, strong little man.
Dachshund Hour your dumb
@Dachshund Hour ث2٢ظششضظ ٠٩٩٧٥٣
Dachshund Hour yes Oscar is a rabbit but that doesn't mean he can't be called a little man
@@محمدالبردينى-ن1ي what?
@Dachshund Hour your not a man
When I first found your account, I thought yes great, a fellow bunny mum who is just as enthusiastic about her fur baby as I am.
But recently, I've found that there is more of a superior "I'm better than you" kind of an attitude I'm sensing when you speak and make videos.
I don't want to seem mean or judgmental, like I'm sort of accusing you of being, but I'm just sensing it more and more.
I appreciate the time and effort you took out of your day, to help in this case, but the way you approach your questions that your asking to the owner, sits as being standoffish and self righteous.
I get that you are disappointed in the way that these poor fluff bums have been living, but making the owner feel bad about not being able to afford the right hay because of money limitations, even though you can see she understands that what she's feeding them right now is not ideal, is a bit much.
I'm sorry if I myself, is coming across as mean and judgmental, I just feel like a different approach to the situation could have happened.
(I'm not replying to comments)
Kristine Nicole thanks for commenting that, I thought I was the only one.
Don't get me wrong, I think her overall intentions are good, but her delivery is a bit abrasive.
I don't hate her though.
You’re absolutely right. I enjoy her content but her attitude comes across self-righteous and judgmental especially when she admitted to not knowing much about rabbits and almost giving hers away on Craigslist. People make mistakes maybe this ladies was overwhelming and had gotten out of control but she’s admitting it and trying to make it right only for a video to be on UA-cam with people calling her mentally ill.
I agree
still, a lotta people (maybe even the majority of all people) are extremely ignorant about rabbit care and she just wants to fix that
Eh, I understand your opinion but mine is different. Here is mine: I don’t think that she does have that attitude, she just is trying to make things better while still being nice. PS no hate
Can we get an update on this? I’d love to see the progress for these beautiful bunnies. I hope many of them have good homes and are happy now
I love how Oscar stays strong . Oscar feel better . You’re adorable
What you said
This is good education for people that want to buy bunny for Easter and have no idea what they are get in to thank you people need to see what can happen.
“They’re really sweet bunnies”
Oscar: 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Something Sumn don’t make a joke out of a abusive situation that’s not cool ok
Horsey Dreams shut up
StarSailorMars, horsey dreams is right I think it’s best if we don’t joke about this situation so please don’t say shut up there just trying to help ❤️
Jasmine Hunt op was trying to make light of the situation. We all handle dark subjects differently
StarSailorMars No. I wasn’t being mean I was just sayin hey not cool. And you said shut up
Omg..this made me cry.. Im a new bunny owner..I couldnt even believe this.
I say the bunny’s that are in the shopping carts have the best life out of all them
KatonPlays yeah
Yep. Even a shopping cart is terrible but it’s still probably the best.
Yes and no. I feel like it would be been best to put each male in a smaller enclosure, despite the fact that I had the thought of a smaller enclosure. I think maybe 2-4 females could be housed in a larger enclosure.
Yes that honestly that really isn't a bad cage it was a little bit bigger it would be spot-on 😂
I haven't seen that part yet and already I know it's bad
Omg wish i could have stopped that from happening to oscar😢
Donate to your local animal society and you can prevent it from happening to other animals.
Me too
This broke my heart:( those poor babies
Will Oscar be available for adoption? Once he is all better.
S M yes!
@@LennonTheBunny so happy about that fingers crossed Oscar finds the best home every🤞🤞🤞
Cool! I hope he will find a great home. I would love to adopt him but I'm on the other side of the US
@S M
I would too. But I live in England😭😭😭❤️
Lennon The Bunny where an I adopt him?
Hi Lorelei and Lennon! I wanted to drop in to this video to give you the news that I have recently started a foster-to-adopt with one of these bunnies!! I have been friends with Vicki since I was a teenager, and my mind was blown when I discovered you were too when first watching your videos!
Lily is a very, VERY shy Himalayan bunny and she only has the one red eye, I think those being reasons it has taken her so long to get adopted. I just wanted my bunny Nimbus to have a friend his age. The bonding process is almost totally complete between the two (just waiting for his humps to settle down a bit more and for her to start grooming him back!). I will be finalizing it with Vicki real soon. Both free roaming bunnies. I just about died when she did her first binky at my home. Nimbus is totally in love. I love Lily too, I haven't had an animal quite as shy as she is but the experience has been so rewarding. She takes treats from my hand but not quite accepting pets yet. Watching your videos for advice!
Anyways, I just wanted to drop in to tell you about her new home and thank you for spreading awareness on this hoarding case and education about bunnies 💖.
Update and Nimbus and Lily are fully bonded now, always side by side, cuddling and kissing. Lily accepts head pets and even cuddles from me, if I'm on the ground next to her... if she is in the mood for it!
OMG... Poor bunnies. Thank you for helping in this situation. ❤️😭
Edit: Thanks for 34 likes, I’ve never gotten that much. If you guys know how to take care of a rabbit, please consider adopting them! The link is in the description of the video it would help them a lot
PennyOhMy I asked my mom and she said that 12 rabbits is enough so I can’t get anymore but I really hope that those bunnies get adopted by someone better than that lady
Miss Rylie Roo oof 12 rabbits. Are they all indoors?
12?!
I can’t believe that those bunnies are living in a shopping carts and small sheds. They are not even being fed right. I believe you did the right thing to go visit these poor bunnies and give advice to these cares. I think the bunnies would of appreciated a visitor. You are a great bunny mum to Lennon and a great supporter of homeless bunnies. You are amazing with how you support homed bunnies and homeless bunnies. You are just amazing in general. Love Lila 💖
You and Vicki are real hero’s❤️❤️
God bless you beautiful people. You are a true inspiration. We need more people in the world like you.
Lorelei: The following footage might be hard to watch (or something like that)
Me: I can take it.
Also me: Watches footage.
Also also me: almost starts crying.
This is saddening, yet the fact that you, Vicki, and probably so many other people are working to help fix it is heartwarming. This is something beautiful to see, thank you so much for this.
No offense, I love your videos, and I understand you're passionate, but you're coming off very condescending which sometimes can escalate a situation like this. It's important to educate with tact, so as to get your point across kindly whilst making your point. If you offend someone, they may choose to stop letting you help, which is never the goal. Just something I noticed ❤️
Melissa Loosli she was very calm coddling a person that is literally abusing animals doesn’t deserve to be comfortable. The woman didn’t even take it serious these rabbits are extremely neglected. I truly don’t feel like this woman did a great thing by asking for help she just made it someone else’s responsibility.
She should have turned up with a rotisserie. Hoarding problem solve.
Melissa Loosli life is not about sugar coating everthing love. Keep it simple; black and white.
Very well stated.
As a rescuer who sees this crap day in day out, some ppl are just lazy and don't want to do what's right. She was a saint to this woman who didn't want to get her useless ass up and fix this situation before 60 innocent creatures get the brunt of her irresponsibility
This is just so sad and heartbreaking.. I’m really glad this channel exists to spread awareness about this. 😔
I’m glad the woman took it well, she didn’t get mad, she understood, and she appreciated the help.
Even after all of that, Oscar is still such a sweet boy :( Such sweethearts
Your such a good person i dont know what i would do without you teaching me about bunnies and i now have a happy healthy bunny
Becca Dickerman you’re* but you’re sooooo right! It is to sad😭
@@mariehuybrechts2275 i know. No bunny should live like this its sad 😭and sorry i forgot to spell im only 9
You handled this with such patience, I'm sure it was hard to not Express emotions. You are Absolutely right, you have to approach situations like this delicately because the person can become offended and reject the help. Praying for all these precious bunnies. 💖
Agreed. Rubbing salt in the wound wouldn't help matters.
As a mother of 14 bunnies, this completely breaks my heart I hope all is well
I dont know if this will help but I also live in California and there is a place called Pro Pet fix that I took all 5 of my bunnies to and they charge 50 for males and 60 for females. Hopefully that could get more bunnies treated at a time and they have 2 locations. I found out about them from another rabbit youtube channel. This is heartbreaking and I hope they all get saved.
Also Im not sure where exactly this lady lives but the place I go to for hay is in Lakewood. Its called Blacksmiths Corner. Their prices for hay are extremely cheap. I can get an extra large back of timothy for $13 and the pellets are $20 for a 50 pound bag I believe. I wish I could do more to help but hopefully this info can help.
@@BullyGirlUzi I believe it said she lives in Calabasas.
@@reneerobinson6929 i think that was the first lady's house lol because that street they pulled up to definitely doesnt look like Calabasas (no offense)
TheGoldenUzi I go there for hay too!
@@BullyGirlUzi thanks and I live so close to lake wood
I don't think she's a bad person, but very sad to see. Hope everything ends well.
Nah shes a bad person. No normal person could go to sleep at night knowing theres 60 bunnies starving to death outside
@@taproductions4377 Nobody told her when she need to get the. male rabbits neutered. There is a lot of confusion about the age of male kits to neutered them today
TAProductions
Not like other people will take 60 rabbits overnight. She is trying to get them adopted, but it will take a while.
Nobody told me anything when I first got my rabbits, you do research and try extremely hard, this woman just abused them, I dont get triggered or whatever but this lady made me want to hit things,
@@taproductions4377 you dont know the phycology behind that
This is so hard to watch. But I thank you for bringing attention to this matter. All bunnies deserve comfort, fresh veggies, hay, water, and love.
You’re very strong for having the courage to help this situation, even though it has to be devastating to see. Thank you for helping them, you’re making a difference ❤️
I’m not trying to take away from your point, because she clearly has an issue. But she recognized that and is trying to get help, and it seemed like your tone was a little rude at times. I know that it is hard to stay calm and cool when presented with this sort of scene, but as someone who has been in a similar situation, she likely feels horrible and is trying her best. Again, I’m not taking away because these conditions are awful, but try to put yourself in her place. Perhaps she didn’t get access to the correct info until she was already in a bad situation.
Bland Queen but i think before getting any pet you should do some serious research
Annie Zahid well of course you should. Not all people everywhere have access to it, or realize how important it is until afterwards. We should make an effort to help but also an effort to understand how the situation got to this
@@anniezahid5445 that would be ideal but the fact of the matter is it doesn't always happen that way. She's got the animals already harping on the lack of research she had before getting the bunnies doesn't help them now. It is what it is. Lorelei herself even said her own set up with Lennon was inappropriate and that she didn't know better at first. Now here she is trying to be an advocate for rabbits. I thinks she has a lot of communication skills that need to be further developed and I don't entirely like the way this situation was handled but never the less Lorelei is an educator when it comes to rabbits and she like many others started out with a lot of incorrect info on how to care for rabbits. So idealy yeah everyone should do research before getting pets but just because it doesn't always happen that way doesn't mean people can't become great caretakers. Even this lady if she can get her situation back under control and is stable mentally and financially.
Excuse you bland queen.”her tone is a little rude?” Haha hush. Lorelei handled this situation more than okay and was overly kind and generous. I cant even fathom how I would handle this situation. Ur comment is unnecessary and unproductive. There is no justifying the hoarding lady’s behavior. Yes glad the lady is finally reaching out but only because she probably would go to jail soon and get caught.
Doesn't matter bad cair is bad cair.
This is disgusting how can someone neglect animals like this..
Right
I know it's so sad😭😭😭😭
yikes, don’t be so judgmental.
Steph L hoarding is a serious mental illness many people suffer from. Yes it’s horrible to see these animals being treated this way but understand that the person isn’t as horrible is you make them out to be. Depression and anxiety or not the only mental illness out there
If someone want only eat them it's normal. There is a difference between domestic animal and wild animals just to eat.
Proud bunny mom and seeing this just breaks my heart
I will pray for them
but will you donate?
"Thoughts and prayers"
Two years later, just found the channel, I was wondering how this turned out in the end? I hope all of them found a new home and got the care they needed.
Deawltb = Drop everything and watch Lennon the bunny.
Yes
Do haters just click on videos to dislike and then click off?
I changed my name You just don’t know it yet I know like who dislikes a bunny video
I think they disliked it because they dont like the way those rabbits are kept
Areeba Khan Maybe
Honestly, I dislike how she handled herself and talked to the owner. She was being fairly aggressive to someone who is trying to get help, who knows she was in the wrong. It was as if she was trying to make the owner lady to feel even worse about herself.
Oh Lorelei. I cried the whole time. You are such a wonderful person. I'm glad you got on her. I love my bunnies and I fixed them immediately. I have watched your videos to educate myself. They deserve love and care!
When I was about 11 years old, I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian because I myself have had a lot of pets, including dogs, a rabbit, water turtle, and cats. And when one of my dogs got sick I immediately searched how to care for her. I just knew that I would be a great veterinarian and when I found this channel, it just made me want to be one even more.
now that is what a call a responsible kid! i wish you good luck with becoming a vet!
Hey, Lorelei? Is it possible to adopt any of these rabbits? I've contacted a bunch of people and they told me they're willing to adopt these guys and give them proper treatment. Atm I'm trying to gather some money to donate to the gofundme raiser.
• lø - ƒ i • Thank you for wanting to help! Maybe to get in better contact email her😇💞
@@morgan1423 Yep, I have ^w^
Go to the discrimination
Can you please update if she replies? I would really like to know how it goes! Tysm for trying to help ❤️ you’re awesome
@@gwakodile of course!
this saddens me so much, the ignorance of some people and the lack of research is astounding
i'd take one but i'm in denmark so transport is probly not going to happen, hope they find good homes.
I know people who sell corgi puppies all around the world. They are from Lithuania. There is possibility to find a person who would do it (by sheer luck a person who travels from usa to dk) or order a courier if you have money and there are certain veterinary requirements but it's not as hard as it looks like.
@@TheCristalWolf good to know, but i'm a student so i dont think i can afford to pay for transport. But i'm gonna check a local shelter and hope it the "global rabbit adoption rate" (/karma) evens out :)
@@denzildk Glad to help and i hope you will find great companion.
That lady IS THE WORST bunny keeper ever I I can’t explain how happy I am that Lorelei and Vicky to decided to help💖
While I admire the efforts and the animals NEED help, asking a person with a problem inflammatoty questions like "So why didn't you do anything x time?" Or "Don't you know x thing is bad?" Is liable to make the problem even worse.
If the woman is reaching out, she has already come to the realization she f***ed up. She is doing things very late, and slow, and of course what she is doing is wrong. We already know that.
If you go into a hoarder situation and probe pointlessly like that, the hoarder could recoil into themselves and shut themselves out from other people and other help. Sometimes they may even become dangerous.
You had thr wherewithall to mention being cautious with hoarders who are finally seeking help, but you still pushed that thin line pretty hard. I just want you to be careful, for both your sake (because I don't eant you getting attacked), and for the sake of the bunnies (since, as I said, sick people who reach out and sense aggression may withdraw).
Once those rabbits are all out of her reach, go in full steam ahead by all means (in the safest way possible), if you want to ask such questions. But while there are literal lives on the line, questions are best saved for later.
Kat Mann it’s called reversed psychology by making the hoarder realise the consequences of their actions.
@@GothicaBeauty Some are not at that point and can feel attacked.
Alisha agreed but i understand what she’s doing here.
I think she was confused as to how someone can just watch those bunnies suffer like that and be okay with it and not want to do anything to fix the issue. God knows I'm wondering the same thing. I think Lorelei herself was just trying to understand her thought process, because normal people don't let a situation like this go.
She's not a hoarder. She wasn't actively buying and buying more rabbits or accumulating them on purpose. She didn't want them to breed and tried separating them but she wasn't knowledgeable enough to know what she was doing.
Not a hoarder, this is just consequences of bad care.
God Bless Vicki for keeping these bunnies alive.
I do definitely agree that Lorelei was very abrasive to the women with her questions and the way she was wording things, and she did sound quite condescending. But, that being said, that women needed to be told the harsh truth in order for change to take place. I think Lorelei had good intentions and obviously since she had the decency to even go there and give the women tips, I know her heart was in the right place. seeing innocent animals in that situation is enough to make anyone angry even if they know the person owning those animals didn’t have the intention to neglect them, so the fact that she stayed as calm as she did while asking those questions is something we all need to keep in mind. Most people would react far more angrily.
Lorelei did just fine Sara. She is not an expert in mental health communication with a minor in hoarding. Wasting your time critiquing Lorelei. Much worse things to criticize and people to criticize. I can’t fathom how I would handle this.
@@behindblueeyes1511 I just think it's ridiculous how this woman has 60 rabbits housed in chicken wire and shopping carts and Lorelei goes "so... why don't they get vegetables?" like god. that's pretty irrelevant now. she also did nothing but film and interrogate her
Sara Drescher no she want! And the hoarder kinda needed to be educated
She did fine technically but the microexpressions of distain were apparent.
Sara Drescher You could tell she was angry. She was trying to be kind but you could definitely tell she was mad.
I just cried and cried the worst part was that Oscar still looked happy and curious even though he was really hurt :( i still cried i just got emotionless...
If you were emotionless you wouldn’t feel emotions-
Vicki is so helpful and non-judgmental
Omg fixing up the situation should be a series! Her backyard transformation and all that😁
Please do not get a rabbit for Easter. Rabbits are high maintenance animals and they need lots of time to play. Rabbits should not be caged either. Getting a rabbit would be okay if you do research before you get a rabbit but PLEASE DO NOT GET A RABBIT FOR EASTER.
Umm I got one for Easter and he's free roam, he likes to cuddle, we take him to the park daily, and only put hm in his pen only at night. So I dunno what u have a problem with getting a rabbit on Easter? My mom knows alot about rabbits as well, so we know what we're doing. Easter is literally just a date, not anything crazy. I also disagree with the idea of not picking up your rabbit, because when I pick up mine, he's fine with it. He likes to give me kisses and cuddle me when I pick him up. I think it's because I have Holland lop rabbit, and their nicer and better with kids then other rabbits. So please check your facts the next time you tell someone what to do.
Courtney Barber Well most rabbits do not like to be picked up and you bring your rabbit to the park? Aren’t you scared it will get eaten by a dog? Obviously it would be okay getting a rabbit if you do your research but without research rabbits are usually not treated properly because to kids they are a toy. Once kids get sick of it, it will become the parents pet and the parents wouldn’t want to look after it so it ends up being chucked in the wild.
@@bunnodraws8297 we have a large pen for him when we're at the park and a bunny stroller, and we go to a small one where no one is usually there. We did a lot of research before buying him. And he's not going to be chucked in the wild, so don't say that. Do u even have a bunny? Or do u just act like u know everything?
Courtney Barber Well in fact I have two bunnies and I did a years worth of rabbit research before getting my rabbit. I didn’t mean that you are going to chuck your rabbit in the wild but other little kids may end up chucking theirs. I am sorry if I in anyway made you feel a bad emotion.
*unless you do the best caring of all*
I think you handled this amazingly! I would’ve gone off on her because those bunnies are being treated horribly. 🥺
Omg this is horrible! At least you’re stepping in and saving them ♥️
The lady was amazing. The way she gets her words across was so caring and kind yet really helped the bunnies
My rabbits sleeps with me no way I'll leave him outside and oh my God I broke down seeing the poor baby wow
I feel so bad for poor Oscar... please please update us on him in the future. I hope he recovers and finds a loving home.
These bunnies are in terrible condition. This is really sad, but all the bunnies are so cute! Thanks, for trying to show people how to take care of bunnies.
Thank you to Vicki and you for sharing this situation and trying to work things out with the owner. I wish I lived closer to adopt Oscar, so in turn, I have donated toward this cause. Please do what you can to find good safe environments for those buns.
Thank you very much!
As sad as this video is, can we give a little bit of props to this lady for owning up to her mistakes? Like that's not easy to do.
She was
Down talking her I wonder if she’d stand up for children or any other human being like this. This bunny owner is trying with the resources she has
He's so sweet even after all he's been through! 😍💝🐰
I have two girls and they act nicely together and they’re bonded. Every once in a while I’ll see them cuddling and cleaning each other. Then I look at this situation and I thank god that I did get two girls that get along together nicely.
I have two boys, brothers and they're close as well,cuddle,lay on top of each other,clean each other but sadly also try to mate each other here and there x'D I dunno why this situation is so bad but I am guessing they might be stressed with so many competitors around in the same territory.
15:00 "They're so fragile, they could be gone overnight." My heart just went oit for her :( The slight pause, and you know she was thinking of all the bunnies she's seen in awful conditions, goon through the worst 💔 Sending love from me and my adopted bunnies 💕
At 2:37 when she was showing the rabbits ear I was close to crying
Pineapple Productions same
I WAS crying
Also, person who commented before me, my name is Layla :)
Thank you for sharing this. I’m trying to do my research before I decide on adopting a bunny. Going to work at the bunny rescue ranch next week! You did a really good job of confronting her. She need that. Girl, you have passion and I love it!
My emotions are all over the place with this one. I applaud you and Vicky for all of the help you are giving this woman!! I applaud this woman for reaching out to get help, allowing you to film her and the bunnies and the environment, and especially for being willing to give the bunnies up to good homes as opposed to still wanting to keep them all because she loves them. It is so so sad to see all these bunnies and their living conditions!! I am glad that the situation is due to reproducing as opposed to someone who just kept buying more rabbits. Not to say by any means that I condone it or anything else, just that I really feel for this situation because this woman truly doesn't have the finances, is feeling really overwhelmed, and wasn't ever knowledgeable about how to take care of bunnies properly. Had she even known enough to get her bunnies fixed, even just the male one, this would never have escalated to this point! I feel that the money she is spending on just the bales of alfalfa hay to feed 60 bunnies... She would probably have been able to afford Timothy Hay and vegetables for two bunnies. Knowledge is power. 😢😢😢
That comment is so sweet. I feel like most people don't understand that this is a lose-lose situation, so her reaching out and just being called a hoarder and having people dismiss her issues as a mental disorder is simplifying/dismissing the issue we cannot even really begin to understand.
Thank you SO much for saying this@@jaxcampbell4487 !!! I don't even know if she is really a hoarder. How can we tell? Besides, hoarders usually have a hard time giving up things. Maybe she just kept them because she felt like they were her responsibility since they came from her original rabbits. And in that way, they really are her responsibility /"fault". Seems she meant well, doesn't have enough finances, and got extremely overwhelmed. Who wouldn't with 60 bunnies?!!!?
After I wrote my comment and read many of the other comments, I was disappointed by all the negative comments only viewing this situation from one angle.
"I 'can't afford' the veggies." Oh my god, there's bags of baby carrots buy five for maybe $15. Lettuce same thing, of course the Poor bunnies wouldn't get a lot individually but it's better then nothing.
let’s not say the Lords name in vain :) but i agree w you
Carrots aren't good for rabbits.. they have too much sugar in them. And veggies are expensive. Especially if you have 60. But like she said, she really should have done something after the first litter and prevented the whole thing..
carrots aren't good for rabbits hi bye
@@lauracourt5927 In moderation, they're alright. One baby carrot a week is perfectly fine. She can work around it, some veggies are cheaper then others. Bananas for example are quite cheap coming in packs if six. I'd say her main worry should be hay and lettuce.
I have two bunnies, a buck and a doe and currently expecting. Feed cost and things do add up when you're poor, so I understand about veggies, sometimes I don't have money for a week or two to buy veggies but they do get plenty of feed and hay and grass. I even made a small garden this year to cut down costs so they have fresh veggies. Now I can see someone having a few for pets/breeding but 60 for that small of space is too much. I used to keep mine outside in the spring and summer and let them come in if it got too hot and in the winter. But now mine live in their own hutches in my house. When I'm not overly busy I do take them for walks. And I clean cages 1-2 a week. ( They don't poop all over, only in a specific spot) but they're healthy and loved and I'm planning on fixing my buck later on. But it shouldn't have gotten this out of control. At the most 5 bunnies and if they aren't fixed then she'd have to separate them to avoid more bunnies. And again I can see her not having the money to get the males fixed but if that is the case find them a home or at least separate them.
I got a ad. Their was a skip option, but I watched the entire thing just for you ❤️ 🐰
I didn't skip a single add on this video. I hope all the bunnies will get a new home they deserve
I feel like this needs to be said.
In a situation like this, coming at somebody in a clearly judgmental way can shut them down in seeking help. I understand being angry at seeing animals treated this way and living in these conditions. I understand wanting to hold this woman accountable for her actions and neglect.
But the way Lorelei came at her made me very worried that she is just going to shut down and dump all these bunnies at a shelter to get euthanized rather than face further judgment, when she has already admitted her fault and is trying to get help. For instance, the question about these bunnies getting greens bothered me, because right away the answer was obvious to me; if they don't have money for mite treatments or vet visits (and that is an absolute priority) there is no way this woman has the funds to feed 60 bunnies 1/4 cup of assorted greens per day. That would be hundreds of dollars a month that could go towards wound treatments at this point. It's all about prioritizing for now. And the fact of the matter is that even at the shelter I volunteer at in my city, they only give the rabbits pellets. They get no hay and no greens, and they are destroyed after 60 days max usually.
So yes, this woman made the initial mistake of allowing these bunnies to breed multiple times by not keeping them apart adequately and not sexing them properly. But since then she has done everything she could in my opinion. She asked for outside help, she's dumping hundreds of dollars into feeding these rabbits every month, getting as many fixed and treated for mites as she can afford, and most importantly she's not just calling the Humane Society and asking them to come pick up the rabbits and take them away. That is absolutely an option for her, and worst case scenario she might get a misdemeanor that comes with some community service if she was charged with neglect. Most likely because it was a voluntary surrender she wouldn't get any charges though, because she can prove that she's been trying to get them medical help.
So my point is in situations like this, where the owner is willing to do the work to correct the situation, it is much better to have a positive attitude and support their good decision rather than judge their mistake. I've seen far too many cases where judgment can cause a massive backslide in good behavior. I think the first animal activist had a much better attitude. Clearly she's been doing this for a long time and is realistic about the best way to take care of this situation.
TL;DR: This woman knows she messed up. Now just work on fixing it moving forward.
God, seeing Oscar so injured actually made my girlfriend and I cry. It was so horrible.

hold up. did she really keep them in a cart, outside, with no top. not only is that way to small for any bunny (especially on almost the size of the cart) but it is also so easy for a fox or a hawk to grab the rabbit:( so glad you helped them
The way you approach this was so wrong how would you feel if you did all you could and someone keeps telling you you're wrong for doing all you can try to help don't keep trying to understand what you don't understand let it go and help her

@@taproductions4377 she isnt a fucking idiot, not everyone knows what to do especially with this amount of bunnies. they reproduce so quickly and easily and this woman is trying her best when she clearly has a life outside of these rabbits. it seems a few got in her backyard and started reproducing and it costs anywhere from 100$ to 350$ and not many people can just get random bunny in their yard fixed. they also arent too easy to catch, they're extremely fast
