People don't realize how smart and affectionate rabbits really are. They come to form incredibly strong bonds with their owners and with other rabbits in the house (if they get along).
People throw them in runs outside and leave them. Then they're surprised when they aren't affectionate or at the fact that they're and not used to people, and are scared.
@@bookmouse2719 I agree is definetly SHOULD be done that way but unfortunately not all pets are given a choice of which other animal(s) they want to coexist with.
It's not about whether you agree it should be done this way or not. It's simply what you are _supposed_ to do when getting a new bunny friend for your bunny. If you just take a random rabbit home there's a high chance that they will fight. I made the mistake of picking out a friend for my first bunny, thinking they'd get along, and she hated the new bunny. She attacked the new bunny every chance she got until the day she died and it was NINE years of emotional distress for me and NINE years of misery for the second bunny who just wanted to be friends with my first one. Maybe with cats and dogs they will likely get along or coexist eventually, but with rabbits you never know. You can bring home a second rabbit but actually they are _still_ the ones who choose to coexist. So why take the risk and do that to yourself. *EDIT:* Read the rest of the thread before you judge. I considered editing this to change my wording, but figured that might confuse people more.
We took a large rabbit on a speed dating event, he bit everyone. Then as a last resort they brought out one they hadn't intended because she was a smaller breed. They fell in love instantly.
@@P4293 It's hard to find matches! If you've never gone through it you'd be surprised how viciously rabbits will fight (worse then any cat fight and worse than most dog fights) and how hard it can be to create a love match. So it really helps to do a lot of introductions to start with a good likely match.
Yep. If you suspect you'll be away for long periods of time it's always good to have two of an animal so they have a friend. Unless they can't or are an animal that can't. Then toys or other things to keep them occupied until you're home to love them, is a good option too
@Carpe Diem You'd be surprised, actually... Animals can have depression, believe it or not, as well as trauma. Don't belittle them like that. It's clear you are very ignorant.
@Carpe Diem I understand why you could easily think that, but it's not the case here. Most pets need atleast a friend and some space to move around. Animals can also have multiple mental disorders. They're not humans, that's true, but they are still surprisingly similar in many aspects.
@Carpe Diem HamHam Have you done your research? There have been many scientific studies proving many animals have a vast array of emotions similar to us and even suffer from things like depression (behavioral changes and brain chemistry changes have been studied). The studied on sea mammals are particularly facinating...some even committing suicide.
@Mary Hartman im not talking about that. im saying they might get along "too well", and you can infer what im saying. think before you type and press send.
Our home is well bun-proofed. Some rabbits are more destructive than others, some are more explorers than others. Luna doesn't like to leave the floor, so anything on a table is safe. The cables are either out of reach or covered in braided stainless steel. And yes it is very important to let a rabbit choose their own mate. Otherwise, you can *easily* wind up with two territorial rabbits who hate each other. They can get *very* violent. I volunteered with a rabbit rescue for a few years, and one rabbit Giselle was so violent that she would leap over a 3 foot tall fence to attack other rabbits. She ripped one rabbit's eyeball out … I had one foster rabbit that would climb on anything. She loved being up high and she could jump 4 feet straight up. It was almost impossible to keep her off of anything. So yeah, rabbits vary. What is "rabbit proof" for one is a mild inconvenience for another.
I adopted a wife for my male bunny too. The bunny rescue said it was a trial to make sure they bonded. I had to give them a month. It took 2 weeks and they were so in love it was crazy. It’s been over a year now and they are just the happiest silliest snuggliest little furbabies ever.

Yes, they are a lot of work, people do not realise They are also not pets for young children, they are too fragile The saddest thing is seeing people get rabbits and stick them in cages 😞 also, they have specific diet requirements. 90%-95%% of their feed should be good quality hay (not straw!) and remaining 5%-10% green leafy vegetables. Carrots / Banana's should only be given as a rare treat otherwise you will induce teeth rot in them
@@stultuses do you own these types of rabbits? I have some questions as we are possibly adopting 2 Flemish bunnies. Please let me know if you can answer a few questions for us, we’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Or if there is a way to contact you. You’d probably be the best person to get answers from.
What is so nice is that their owners recognized their need for companionship AND made sure they were fixed so no babies came from the partnership. If only every rabbit owner was so compassionate and smart! Thanks for this! I miss my bunnies. I had my last one til he died of old age.
"They even go to the toilet together" If that's not a sign of true marriage, I don't know what could be 🤣 These bunnies make such a cute couple! May they live many years healthy and happy together with their human pawrents! 💕
@@mteokay1246 you mean the case when one might be using the toilet while the other is brushing teeth/ taking a bath/just passing by the room and gets to ask for a random thing, like what sauce to choose for today's pasta, isn't something happening in your house?
Arranged marriages - unlike forced marriages - technically tend to let the couple choose if they actually get together. The matches are more like proposed matches picked out by the parents but based around people you know and people who they generally think will be a good match for you. Sure, forced marriages are a thing that exists and they are horrible, but arranged marriages aren't quite that, even if they are old-fashioned and a bit outdated. And here, that's technically an arranged marriaged because they proposed the picks from those, their bunny chose one rabbit.
My late husband would have loved this video. Many years ago, he had a giant bunny for a pet, and since then, he has loved bunnies. Your story made me think of him immediately. Thank you.

I remember when I visited my friend's farm and I didn't realize he had 12 Flemish Giant rabits. I spent most of my time with them and eventually even had one giant pile of fuzz buns around/on me. Some of the best antidepressants I ever had. PS: Also, to give you a better idea of how it went. Eventually I would show up and one would "attack" my shoe laces as a way of saying "This way" and lead me to a massive bean bag. I would then settle into the probably 5' bag and the bun would jump into my lap. About 2 minutes later the rest would arrive, spend 5 minutes getting in their places, and cover me/the bag in fuzz. My friends even set up to tables with drinks and long straws so that I could drink without moving so I wouldn't disturb the fuzz buns now covering me (one was water the other was alcohol). This is where I would stay for an hour or 2 before eventually having to answer nature's call and I would make low rumblings to kinda let the buns know I was moving soon. I would give them 3, ever increasing rumbles before starting to slowly shake and kind of vibrate my way through the pile. Then I'd go take care of business and return to find them semi waiting and semi enjoying the warm spot I left them. Then I'd make my way back in and usually just go to bed covered in fluff.
I loved having a rabbit. My uncle got me one as an easter present (much to my mom's dismay; she didn't like keeping animals). I was always trying to sneak him into the house, when he was supposed to stay (for the most part) in the indoor porch. But, he was so huggable, and loved getting hugs. It was a win-win situation if you ask me!
As others have said, they arent all they are cracked up to be... Our female rabbit we had years ago was a cantankerous creature who'd nip at you to get you to move (rabbit teeth hurt) or if you tried putting her on your lap, would turn anything on the ground into small pieces, cables are slashed to hell and back if she got near them (we had to block off alot of places behind things to stop her getting around dangerous stuff) and she turned a cane basket into splinters over a couple of years... unfortunately unbeknown to us it was that cane basket that eventually killed her, as she'd been digesting small parts of it (it never looked like any of it had been eaten, just clipped up) and it started to clog her digestive system. If you do get them you have to be aware of all the problems and be ready to rabbit proof your house.
For those who live in the UK, Marmite is a very good bunny deterrent. (Other yeast extracts are available!) I smeared it on all my table legs and doorframes, and my bunbuns never went near them. You can put sellotape on first, and smear that with Marmite, to protect the wood. Eventually, the buns get so used to not going near the wood that you can take it off and they still won't try to nibble. Thanks to the posters of this video for mentioning the need for hay 24/7. So many people think it's OK just to give them fruit and veg, but if they don't get hay they are likely to get gut stasis, a horrible condition that many buns die from. Always look out for any signs of it - lethargy, sitting in the same position without moving - and get them to the vet immediately.
I'm so glad that this owner showed not only the good, but the bad of having a bunny, such as the chewing. Solid well rounded information and a super cute video.
I love that they showed the "gold standard" of bunny ownership, too - showing the best way to overcome loneliness and boredom, and normalising a varied-yet-balanced daily diet. It's done in such a gentle way that it's likely to give bunny owners ideas on how to improve, rather than making them feel lectured to. And not an awful tiny hutch in sight! 😎 Love it! 👍
So glad that you got him a girlfriend!! People just don't realize how long they leave their pets alone and now he doesn't have to be alone that's so sweet!!! And I love your definition of speed dating for bunnies that is hilarious just hilarious!! So sweet you love your bunnies so much and they're just not an afterthought!!🥰
They remind me of my bunnies, Lubby and Lissy. Lubby was lonely and constantly trying to mate me. I took him to a bunny rescue to pick out a wife. Lissy started giving him kisses immediately, even before I got him out of the baby snuggly. It was love at first sight. They spent their entire lives loving each other. They would hop around together, mate, groom each other, eat cheek to cheek, and snuggle whenever they slept.
Thank you for fixing them and loving them and understanding them so well. Most people think bunnies are toys so videos like this are SO important. They will absolutely wreck your house and fill your heart ❤️
I’m so sorry for the loss of your bunnies. Just always know there are bonded pairs just waiting for good homes at the Humane Society, animal rescue operations and there are some pet food stores that really care about animals and adopt them out working with Foster Parents who bring in the animals when the pets are ready. I’m older so I’ve lost many pets and many times I thought “no one could replace ______”. But when I’m ready I adopt and fall in love all over again. They all have their own personalities but I haven’t met one I didn’t love. Or if there’s a small animal rehab or foster centre around you could volunteer until your ready to make the commitment again. Such a small amount of work for the love and laughs and comfort they give us 🐰🥕💝
@@kennethkeith3335 wtf is wrong with you? It costs exactly nothing to be kind and understanding. And sad that you can only focus on big tragedies apparently. Most other people have the capacity to deal with both personal and global tragedies. If you downplay personal feelings like that, what's the point in living? 🤷♀️ Since we're apparently not allowed to feel love or grief for pets and family.
Bux reminds me of my rabbit. He passed away last week. He was with us for 7 years. He was as huge as bux and yes he had the same personality as Bux like a dog. People who came by were always shocked how big he was. Miss him alot.
Great to see such big, spoiled bunnies .... Also, that you're responsible owners who make sure that your bunnies are Fixed !!! It's important to not add to the unwanted animal population... as you stated many "so called owners" decide to release their pets into the woods where their chances of survival are slim. I'm glad you were able to find Bux a compatible female bunny friend, Ginny. Best wishes to the happy couple !!!
@@vidyasonavane9602 fixed is the same as saying neutering/spaying. Spaying involves removing the uterus and ovaries of a female animal, and neutering removes the testicles of a male animal. Basically they can't reproduce.
i'm always so happy to see responsible and caring rabbit owners. rabbits are so often misunderstood in terms of their behavior and needs. have seen way too many awful rabbit owners :-(
I just got my bunny a husbun this weekend the same way- bonding with one at the rescue! So excited to bring them home tomorrow after their week-long bunnymoon!
When I took in my late grandfather's budgie, I always felt sad, that he was alone and only talking to a mirror. My parents never wanted me to have a 2nd pet but I convinced them, that he was alone and that it wasn't good fo him. So he got himself a friend. He was so happy and taught the young budgie everything he knew (he was around 16 then). He lived 18 years in total. A long life.
Just purchased two rabbits from the same person, but who were separated by cages bc "they didn't want more bunnies". Love at first sight (or touch rather) instantly! They're so adorable together.
Did you get them spayed and neutered so they can be together? We rescue bunnies and after they are spayed/neutered we put them together and give them the run of the house.
@@balthasargerard7246 Didn't you understand what she said: The rabbits were in separate cages because they didn't want babies. So you fix them so they can be together and not have babies.. What is your problem??
@@buddyglynn6173 Sounds like the previous owners kept them in separate cages, not the person who left the comment. Whether they are fixed or not is a legit question as rabbit are very prolific baby-makers.
I'm just now seeing everyone's replies so allow me to explain: I did not fix them. The older lady who had them was more into breeding, raising and selling her fowl than anything. The rabbits were just pets her grandkids had and played with until the "new wore off" (yes I know how disdainful that is, but it worked out in the end for myself, as well as the pair of bunnies). So she didn't want babies no, however I do. Myself and my family eat meat, and the plan is to raise our own meat for the freezer. The original pair will be pets. Once designated as such and named they won't ever be butchered. Once they're past production age, they'll be fixed and retired. I also plan to give the young chances to be sold, prior to freezer bound age (not on or around holidays such as Easter though where they're often purchased as a temporary fad for kids who outgrow them same as the lady's grandkids did). The female should currently be pregnant, and we eagerly await our first litter.
I love watching their ears flop when they run! So cute ❤ I also love seeing free roaming rabbits - They seem so much happier than ones kept in cages When I had mine, we couldn't do free roam, but I did take him out a lot and sit with him. He lived a life full of love 💕
♡3♡ they're absolutely adorable together! The way she squeezed her way between Bux and the wall made my heart melt. Reminds me of my mom's bun when I was a kid. She wouldn't request snuggles, she'd demand snuggles.
So adorable! When I was around 8 or 10 I got a Palomino rabbit named Thumper. Oldest brother worked near a Petshop around Easter time, and will never forget when he brought Thumper home. Dad made a hutch with an old HUGE dog house that the collie dogs never liked to use. Put small holed wire mesh (chicken wire I guess its called) on the bottom so the poops and pees went thru and nothing could get in. Then made a front porch out of the mesh, so Thumper could lay in the sun and enjoy his day. But most of the time us kids (3 girls) had him in the house. He was so tame like these rabbits, but in those days, farm animals weren't allowed in the house to live, and he quite enjoyed his digs outside. He always had tons of hay to keep him warm in the winter, plenty of carrots, lettuce and rabbit kibble, water kept unfrozen by my father inventing a heating system to keep it from getting frozen. Thumper won a blue ribbon in the county fair one year, probably because he had a rather large cheering section! It was then that I was told he was a Palomino rabbit, looked exactly like the female rabbit featured here. Friend at school asked if she could mate her rabbit with Thumper, I said "Sure!" Well, poor Thumper was so confused by this female rabbit hitting on him, he could only jump on my arm to mate! lol! So much for her baby rabbits! Rotten neighborhood kid kept opening the porch door on Thumpers pen outside, and Thumper would go exploring. He was quite use to outdoor conditions though, as I took him walking regularly with a halter on him and a leash. One time that brat did it and we couldnt find him anywhere. I finally collapsed on the chaise chair on our back porch, and cried b/c I though we lost him for sure. Just then Thumper turned the corner and jumped right on my lap! He was like "Save me!" lol! That rotten kid still let him loose now and then, but Thumper jumped on the shelf running along the dog house portion of his house. When he was about 6 years old, one stormy night something or "SOMEONE" dug out the mesh at the bottom of his dog house. He was gone for good this time. Never found out what happened to him, but learned that some things were better not knowing... I loved him so...
@@sherryallen3137 Yes, he was a brat and a half, but I don't think he did that this time. He was a boy, and couldn't have climbed under and pulled that wire mesh from under the rabbit hutch by himself. Plus it was a summer Hurricane storm. So it had to be from a large dog in the neighborhood. Yes, I was very sad for a long time, but got a Guinee pig about a year later, and made sure her large pen was in the family room in our playroom. By then, mom was a little more accepting of farm type animals indoors. Plus I think she felt a little guilty of Thumpers fate being outdoors. Piglet (the GP) had 4 babies Christmas night after dinner, which the whole family and friends were down there watching. We had a nice childhood.. I'm much older now. Thank you for your comment, but I think something 'got' poor Thumper, otherwise he indeed would have come back. 😞
I had a rabbit when I was young and he dug his way out of our fenced-in yard. I searched the neighborhood for him. Finally found him stretched out under a bush a block away and he looked like he was on a tropical beach, relaxing under a palm tree. I was so relieved to find him okay... especially because he was friends with our dogs and I didn't know if he'd be friendly to other neighborhood dogs. I'm sorry you didn't find your rabbit, Blue Razz.
@@jaysky2000 Thank you Jackie, I'm almost certain he wouldn't have voluntarily got out that rainy thunderstorm night, with high winds etc. Dad was almost certain an animal, probably a large dog must have pulled the bottom of dog house out and got him. Though there was no fur the next morning, there were high winds so, never did know what happened to poor Thumper. He was a lovey rabbit like these two for sure... just not as big.
Few things as sad as a rabbit left alone. Highly social. Also nothing like getting a groom from a rabbit. Always a sad time of year as we approach Easter, when people give bunnies to their children; then put them in a small cage in the back yard to be forgotten. The most shocking thing to see is a room in a Humane Society FULL OF UNWANTED RABBITS. So quiet you can hear a pin drop and you can feel the fear. Most of my rabbits lived 10 years. So this Easter, be kind- get your child a stuffed animal. Pet rabbits are a serious long term commitment.
People just don't understand that a bunny can change your life forever when I got my bunnies I felt like that my life was completed my bunnies give some much joy and I can't imagine life without them
As a mental health advocate and writer, thank you so very much for doing this. Nobody deserves to feel alone and depressed. And that includes beautiful animals.❤️.

@@hyacinth8844 mine are littertrained. The trick is to make sure their hay is hanging in their litterbox. They poop while eating. And to avoid that they chew in your furniture: Spray chili-water on your furniture (it doesnt stain and you can wash it off later on with a wet cloth).
So cute! I just love bunnies! Had 5 over the years. My last one Buster is now 10 years old, still young at heart, loves to chase and roll his toy balls around the house and yard, throwing his toys and sticks and playing fetch..Laying on his frozen water bottles, and bunny flops! Always wanting to play and run fast everywhere. Love you Buster! 🐰🐇
I love bunnies, I had one and she passed. My husband is against getting another, but you never know...you can diffently see their characters in them. Love your bunnies.
Please, if you do get two! They are really not supposed to live alone. No matter how much human love there is that can never substitute great love from one of their own. All the best.
AWWWW!!! Watching this video made me SOOOO HAPPY!!. So fantastic that you got your bun boy a wife!! They look so loving and peaceful and just beautiful ❤️ together!!!!
Oh, I am so very smitten with Bux and Ginnie. Yes, they certainly have the perfect union. You know, the one where the wife runs roughshod over her mate. Love how Ginnie takes the hay out of Bux's mouth while he's eating, and how she pushes him out of their abode to get inside. You pawrents have given true love to the bunnies. Bravo!! 🐰🐰
Domestic abuse?.. 🤦. Isnt that a tad dramatic? Animals arent like us so their behaviour isnt always going to mean the same as it would if humans behaved that way towards one another.
They are adorable! Glad you got another one so the other wouldn't be lonely! I love to watch them eat a salad! They make it look so good and it makes me hungry! What a pair you have!
So sweet! I rescued a female that had been given to my two-year-old granddaughter. Her parents knew that they couldn’t take care of her so I took her, had her spayed, then took her to a rescue organization to bond her with a male. She found a nice guy bunny to spend her time with and they are best friends. 🥰
This was quite the beautiful and peaceful video to watch. You can tell they really love their home and family! 4:24 - "Hurry the humans are looking. Smile for the camera!"
My family had two Mongolian desert rats -- and even though they were physically tiny creatures, they had distinct personalities. The more time that humans spend with companion animals, the more we are likely to learn from them & about them....
They have different personalities? Everything has a different personality. Insects, even--I've kept a number of preying mantids, and each was its own recognizable self. I was rather surprised, and I asked a friend, "So, how far down the scale of existence does personality go, do you think?" She replied, deadpan, "All the way to the rocks."
You are sooo nice to think about other beings most deem as lesser than our own. Many animals seem better than people to me. It is very heart warming to see your empathy few have.
People don't realize how smart and affectionate rabbits really are. They come to form incredibly strong bonds with their owners and with other rabbits in the house (if they get along).
☝️this! Absolutely correct. I have 10 bunnies, and they all have distinct personalities, and all show love in different ways. They're the best!
Rodents are awesome pets 💯💯💯
People throw them in runs outside and leave them. Then they're surprised when they aren't affectionate or at the fact that they're and not used to people, and are scared.
@@RootVegetabIe exactly! You have to interact with them in a positive way. And give love to get love back! 🥰🐰
Can they be litter box- trained? Like cats?
I like how the human couple let Bux pick out a mate instead of just getting one they liked. Also, cute bunnies!!!
you have to do it this way.
@@bookmouse2719 I agree is definetly SHOULD be done that way but unfortunately not all pets are given a choice of which other animal(s) they want to coexist with.
Rabbits will kill each other if they don't get along.
It's not about whether you agree it should be done this way or not. It's simply what you are _supposed_ to do when getting a new bunny friend for your bunny. If you just take a random rabbit home there's a high chance that they will fight. I made the mistake of picking out a friend for my first bunny, thinking they'd get along, and she hated the new bunny. She attacked the new bunny every chance she got until the day she died and it was NINE years of emotional distress for me and NINE years of misery for the second bunny who just wanted to be friends with my first one. Maybe with cats and dogs they will likely get along or coexist eventually, but with rabbits you never know. You can bring home a second rabbit but actually they are _still_ the ones who choose to coexist. So why take the risk and do that to yourself.
*EDIT:* Read the rest of the thread before you judge. I considered editing this to change my wording, but figured that might confuse people more.
@@IllusionQueen4Eva you let the other rabbit be attacked and suffer and be lonely for NINE YEARS???
We took a large rabbit on a speed dating event, he bit everyone. Then as a last resort they brought out one they hadn't intended because she was a smaller breed. They fell in love instantly.
You went on a speed dating event for rabbits?
@@P4293 Gotta find them a companion somehow
@@P4293 It's hard to find matches! If you've never gone through it you'd be surprised how viciously rabbits will fight (worse then any cat fight and worse than most dog fights) and how hard it can be to create a love match. So it really helps to do a lot of introductions to start with a good likely match.
I suppose the speed dating event was at a vegetarian restaurant ? 😄 Glad your alpha male found love 🐇💖
From what I know of rabbits, they don't only go in for speed dating but speed marriage and consummation as well.
I’ve taken two bunnies to shelters for speed dates to find their forever friend, it’s super cute and they really do act like they found “the one”
Nice! End arranged bunny marriage! 😂
I love when humans think of an animal's mental health like that, its so compassionate and makes more sense then pretending they're senseless toys 💚
Yep. If you suspect you'll be away for long periods of time it's always good to have two of an animal so they have a friend. Unless they can't or are an animal that can't. Then toys or other things to keep them occupied until you're home to love them, is a good option too
Ours were outside bunnies and we converted a Wendy house into a wendyhutch. All our bunnies lived to over 9 years old
@Carpe Diem You'd be surprised, actually... Animals can have depression, believe it or not, as well as trauma. Don't belittle them like that. It's clear you are very ignorant.
@Carpe Diem I understand why you could easily think that, but it's not the case here. Most pets need atleast a friend and some space to move around. Animals can also have multiple mental disorders. They're not humans, that's true, but they are still surprisingly similar in many aspects.
@Carpe Diem HamHam Have you done your research? There have been many scientific studies proving many animals have a vast array of emotions similar to us and even suffer from things like depression (behavioral changes and brain chemistry changes have been studied). The studied on sea mammals are particularly facinating...some even committing suicide.
24/7 free roaming AND you let him choose a mate for himself? You guys are superstars! Wish every owner was like you!!
@Mary Hartman sooner or later they will regret letting them roam free
@Mary Hartman im not talking about that. im saying they might get along "too well", and you can infer what im saying. think before you type and press send.
@@RagingInsomniac If you actually watched the video they are fixed. Maybe you should think before you type lol.
@Mary Hartman they don't bother nothing? Did you even watch the video? 😂
Our home is well bun-proofed. Some rabbits are more destructive than others, some are more explorers than others. Luna doesn't like to leave the floor, so anything on a table is safe. The cables are either out of reach or covered in braided stainless steel.
And yes it is very important to let a rabbit choose their own mate. Otherwise, you can *easily* wind up with two territorial rabbits who hate each other. They can get *very* violent. I volunteered with a rabbit rescue for a few years, and one rabbit Giselle was so violent that she would leap over a 3 foot tall fence to attack other rabbits. She ripped one rabbit's eyeball out …
I had one foster rabbit that would climb on anything. She loved being up high and she could jump 4 feet straight up. It was almost impossible to keep her off of anything.
So yeah, rabbits vary. What is "rabbit proof" for one is a mild inconvenience for another.
I adopted a wife for my male bunny too. The bunny rescue said it was a trial to make sure they bonded. I had to give them a month. It took 2 weeks and they were so in love it was crazy. It’s been over a year now and they are just the happiest silliest snuggliest little furbabies ever.

*Agreed!*
It technically is still an “arranged marriage” because he was introduced to her. They were responsible for picking different candidates for him.
Arranged marriages - unlike forced marriages - technically tend to let the couple choose if they actually get together. The matches are more like proposed matches picked out by the parents but based around people you know and people who they generally think will be a good match for you.
Sure, forced marriages are a thing that exists and they are horrible, but arranged marriages aren't quite that, even if they are old-fashioned and a bit outdated.
And here, that's technically an arranged marriaged because they proposed the picks from those, their bunny chose one rabbit.

I remember when I visited my friend's farm and I didn't realize he had 12 Flemish Giant rabits. I spent most of my time with them and eventually even had one giant pile of fuzz buns around/on me. Some of the best antidepressants I ever had.
PS: Also, to give you a better idea of how it went. Eventually I would show up and one would "attack" my shoe laces as a way of saying "This way" and lead me to a massive bean bag. I would then settle into the probably 5' bag and the bun would jump into my lap. About 2 minutes later the rest would arrive, spend 5 minutes getting in their places, and cover me/the bag in fuzz. My friends even set up to tables with drinks and long straws so that I could drink without moving so I wouldn't disturb the fuzz buns now covering me (one was water the other was alcohol). This is where I would stay for an hour or 2 before eventually having to answer nature's call and I would make low rumblings to kinda let the buns know I was moving soon. I would give them 3, ever increasing rumbles before starting to slowly shake and kind of vibrate my way through the pile. Then I'd go take care of business and return to find them semi waiting and semi enjoying the warm spot I left them. Then I'd make my way back in and usually just go to bed covered in fluff.
Did they bite or nibble at you?
"Fuzz buns" 😂

A group of bunnies is called a Fluffle.
I loved having a rabbit. My uncle got me one as an easter present (much to my mom's dismay; she didn't like keeping animals). I was always trying to sneak him into the house, when he was supposed to stay (for the most part) in the indoor porch. But, he was so huggable, and loved getting hugs. It was a win-win situation if you ask me!
The ultimate cute and cuddly pets!
No they are work.
Lol. My rabbit is not cuddly, at all. He bites anyone that underestimates him and want to hold him.
@@JuicedUpLemon They look cute and cuddly... That's where it ends. lol
I prefer cats
As others have said, they arent all they are cracked up to be... Our female rabbit we had years ago was a cantankerous creature who'd nip at you to get you to move (rabbit teeth hurt) or if you tried putting her on your lap, would turn anything on the ground into small pieces, cables are slashed to hell and back if she got near them (we had to block off alot of places behind things to stop her getting around dangerous stuff) and she turned a cane basket into splinters over a couple of years... unfortunately unbeknown to us it was that cane basket that eventually killed her, as she'd been digesting small parts of it (it never looked like any of it had been eaten, just clipped up) and it started to clog her digestive system.
If you do get them you have to be aware of all the problems and be ready to rabbit proof your house.
This is the life all bunnies deserve. Each bunny has their own personality.
What an adorable Bunny Couple. You should write a children's book on this story. It is very cute.
For those who live in the UK, Marmite is a very good bunny deterrent. (Other yeast extracts are available!) I smeared it on all my table legs and doorframes, and my bunbuns never went near them. You can put sellotape on first, and smear that with Marmite, to protect the wood. Eventually, the buns get so used to not going near the wood that you can take it off and they still won't try to nibble. Thanks to the posters of this video for mentioning the need for hay 24/7. So many people think it's OK just to give them fruit and veg, but if they don't get hay they are likely to get gut stasis, a horrible condition that many buns die from. Always look out for any signs of it - lethargy, sitting in the same position without moving - and get them to the vet immediately.
It is also an effective deterrent for many humans...

I’m so sorry for the loss of your bunnies. Just always know there are bonded pairs just waiting for good homes at the Humane Society, animal rescue operations and there are some pet food stores that really care about animals and adopt them out working with Foster Parents who bring in the animals when the pets are ready. I’m older so I’ve lost many pets and many times I thought “no one could replace ______”. But when I’m ready I adopt and fall in love all over again. They all have their own personalities but I haven’t met one I didn’t love. Or if there’s a small animal rehab or foster centre around you could volunteer until your ready to make the commitment again. Such a small amount of work for the love and laughs and comfort they give us 🐰🥕💝

@@buddyglynn6173 Sounds like the previous owners kept them in separate cages, not the person who left the comment. Whether they are fixed or not is a legit question as rabbit are very prolific baby-makers.
I'm just now seeing everyone's replies so allow me to explain: I did not fix them. The older lady who had them was more into breeding, raising and selling her fowl than anything. The rabbits were just pets her grandkids had and played with until the "new wore off" (yes I know how disdainful that is, but it worked out in the end for myself, as well as the pair of bunnies). So she didn't want babies no, however I do.
Myself and my family eat meat, and the plan is to raise our own meat for the freezer. The original pair will be pets. Once designated as such and named they won't ever be butchered. Once they're past production age, they'll be fixed and retired. I also plan to give the young chances to be sold, prior to freezer bound age (not on or around holidays such as Easter though where they're often purchased as a temporary fad for kids who outgrow them same as the lady's grandkids did). The female should currently be pregnant, and we eagerly await our first litter.
I love watching their ears flop when they run! So cute ❤
I also love seeing free roaming rabbits - They seem so much happier than ones kept in cages

So adorable! When I was around 8 or 10 I got a Palomino rabbit named Thumper. Oldest brother worked near a Petshop around Easter time, and will never forget when he brought Thumper home. Dad made a hutch with an old HUGE dog house that the collie dogs never liked to use. Put small holed wire mesh (chicken wire I guess its called) on the bottom so the poops and pees went thru and nothing could get in. Then made a front porch out of the mesh, so Thumper could lay in the sun and enjoy his day. But most of the time us kids (3 girls) had him in the house. He was so tame like these rabbits, but in those days, farm animals weren't allowed in the house to live, and he quite enjoyed his digs outside. He always had tons of hay to keep him warm in the winter, plenty of carrots, lettuce and rabbit kibble, water kept unfrozen by my father inventing a heating system to keep it from getting frozen. Thumper won a blue ribbon in the county fair one year, probably because he had a rather large cheering section! It was then that I was told he was a Palomino rabbit, looked exactly like the female rabbit featured here. Friend at school asked if she could mate her rabbit with Thumper, I said "Sure!" Well, poor Thumper was so confused by this female rabbit hitting on him, he could only jump on my arm to mate! lol! So much for her baby rabbits! Rotten neighborhood kid kept opening the porch door on Thumpers pen outside, and Thumper would go exploring. He was quite use to outdoor conditions though, as I took him walking regularly with a halter on him and a leash. One time that brat did it and we couldnt find him anywhere. I finally collapsed on the chaise chair on our back porch, and cried b/c I though we lost him for sure. Just then Thumper turned the corner and jumped right on my lap! He was like "Save me!" lol! That rotten kid still let him loose now and then, but Thumper jumped on the shelf running along the dog house portion of his house. When he was about 6 years old, one stormy night something or "SOMEONE" dug out the mesh at the bottom of his dog house. He was gone for good this time. Never found out what happened to him, but learned that some things were better not knowing... I loved him so...
Awww! That's so sad that he escaped and never came back! I know you miss him dearly! I'm so sorry! You think that boy did that? I sure hope not!
@@sherryallen3137 Yes, he was a brat and a half, but I don't think he did that this time. He was a boy, and couldn't have climbed under and pulled that wire mesh from under the rabbit hutch by himself. Plus it was a summer Hurricane storm. So it had to be from a large dog in the neighborhood. Yes, I was very sad for a long time, but got a Guinee pig about a year later, and made sure her large pen was in the family room in our playroom. By then, mom was a little more accepting of farm type animals indoors. Plus I think she felt a little guilty of Thumpers fate being outdoors. Piglet (the GP) had 4 babies Christmas night after dinner, which the whole family and friends were down there watching. We had a nice childhood.. I'm much older now. Thank you for your comment, but I think something 'got' poor Thumper, otherwise he indeed would have come back. 😞
I had a rabbit when I was young and he dug his way out of our fenced-in yard. I searched the neighborhood for him. Finally found him stretched out under a bush a block away and he looked like he was on a tropical beach, relaxing under a palm tree. I was so relieved to find him okay... especially because he was friends with our dogs and I didn't know if he'd be friendly to other neighborhood dogs. I'm sorry you didn't find your rabbit, Blue Razz.
@@jaysky2000 Thank you Jackie, I'm almost certain he wouldn't have voluntarily got out that rainy thunderstorm night, with high winds etc. Dad was almost certain an animal, probably a large dog must have pulled the bottom of dog house out and got him. Though there was no fur the next morning, there were high winds so, never did know what happened to poor Thumper. He was a lovey rabbit like these two for sure... just not as big.
Housing them indoors always safer. Too many able predators outside.
Beautiful bunnies & amazing parents!
Few things as sad as a rabbit left alone. Highly social. Also nothing like getting a groom from a rabbit. Always a sad time of year as we approach Easter, when people give bunnies to their children; then put them in a small cage in the back yard to be forgotten. The most shocking thing to see is a room in a Humane Society FULL OF UNWANTED RABBITS. So quiet you can hear a pin drop and you can feel the fear.
Most of my rabbits lived 10 years. So this Easter, be kind- get your child a stuffed animal. Pet rabbits are a serious long term commitment.
People just don't understand that a bunny can change your life forever when I got my bunnies I felt like that my life was completed my bunnies give some much joy and I can't imagine life without them
❤❤❤
They are great companions!
@ 2:10 "They even go to the toilet together"... wow! Now that's a whole different level of something 😂😂🥰🥰🐇🐇
As a mental health advocate and writer, thank you so very much for doing this. Nobody deserves to feel alone and depressed. And that includes beautiful animals.❤️.
Some people are just meant to be alone though
@@Daymare24 Well I hope they know that somewhere out there, they are loved.❤️
As a lawyer who studied animals for 38 years, space for 24 years and currently running for president I can say you’re right
@@moamoaoz im voting for you
Whenever people start putting "titles" in their comments, you know they are fucking at home 24-7 not doing jack shit. A mental health advocate.... I just can't stop laughing. You my mate, are a fool.
Bless them both they are so lucky and blessed to have such a loving home.
They are so so adorable- they do love each other!!
I got 2 free-roaming bunnies too. 24/7 they can run free and they are absolutly thr best pets i could ever wish for ❤
But do they poop all over the house? Or are they litter trained?
@@hyacinth8844 mine are littertrained. The trick is to make sure their hay is hanging in their litterbox. They poop while eating. And to avoid that they chew in your furniture: Spray chili-water on your furniture (it doesnt stain and you can wash it off later on with a wet cloth).
Oh cool
I so love it that you brought Bux to the shelter and let him try out with different bunnies. That is the way to do it for sure.
So cute! I just love bunnies! Had 5 over the years. My last one Buster is now 10 years old, still young at heart, loves to chase and roll his toy balls around the house and yard, throwing his toys and sticks and playing fetch..Laying on his frozen water bottles, and bunny flops! Always wanting to play and run fast everywhere. Love you Buster! 🐰🐇

That’s adorable, I hope he has a wonderful life with you and that you continue to treat him like the amazing companion he is
Oh, that's lovely! keep taking good care of your little guy Buster, God bless him with more years of life! 💟
@@mabyyyyy thanks guys! That's really nice of both of you 😀. He's just turned 11 recently and still playing and active👍. He loves life, always happy.
What can I say? They’re beautiful. I’m glad there’s so much love in this house, I know the bunnies feel it and it vibrates around all of you.
This is so adorable 💞 My husband had a free roaming rabbit when we first dated. It was cute seeing this 6’6 man snuggling w/ a bunny 🐰
lol

They're adorable and so are both of you for opening up your home to share with them.
This is one of the sweetest video I have seen. You guys were very fortunate that they get along so well. Blessings to you and your bunnies.
I love bunnies, I had one and she passed. My husband is against getting another, but you never know...you can diffently see their characters in them. Love your bunnies.
I hope you are alright now
Please, if you do get two! They are really not supposed to live alone. No matter how much human love there is that can never substitute great love from one of their own. All the best.
This is quite possibly the sweetest video ever! So glad these wonderful bunnies found such a loving home (and each other)!!! ❤ 🐇 🥰
@1:58. "The Lady & the Tramp"
They´re so adorable! And yes, the behavior is more like dog and cat. Wishing you a great time with those cuties.🐰
I’ve seen children who aren’t anywhere near as spoiled and doted on as these bunnies. This is the kind of pet owner we should all aspire to be.
Hmmm no child goes to the shop and pick out a wife
@@micholitzia5726 what a keen observation.
Sad that children aren't getting treated properly. You're right
I guess no real children in this couple's future. Just rabbits, maybe the rabbits will visit when these two people are old?
@@joelee4495 or maybe they will have friends. You don't have to be related to people to enjoy each other's company.
They are absolutely beautiful! And you seem like wonderful people who really love animals. ❤
AWWWW!!! Watching this video made me SOOOO HAPPY!!. So fantastic that you got your bun boy a wife!! They look so loving and peaceful and just beautiful ❤️ together!!!!
Too cute! I love bunnies!!! I've had 3 rabbits as pets in the past. They are so sweet and soft.
Oh my gosh- I’m gonna be a rabbit lady when I’m older- I can just see it! They are both so adorable. Love it
czcams.com/video/sNB7dNXl7AE/video.html
I promise you won’t regret it! I have a bunny couple roaming free in my apartment, and they are so lovely and funny
@@mathildewesendonck7225 don't they poop all over house?
Now this made my day! I'm so happy they got Bux a wife!!
I would love two bunnies like this. So affectionately adorable together.
Those are very healthy-looking, well cared for bunnies...so sweet 🥰
Oh, I am so very smitten with Bux and Ginnie. Yes, they certainly have the perfect union. You know, the one where the wife runs roughshod over her mate. Love how Ginnie takes the hay out of Bux's mouth while he's eating, and how she pushes him out of their abode to get inside. You pawrents have given true love to the bunnies. Bravo!! 🐰🐰
Your comment is either funny or scary, maybe both.
@@boataxe4605 I vote for scary. Apparently domestic abuse by the female is just so adorable!
Domestic abuse?.. 🤦. Isnt that a tad dramatic? Animals arent like us so their behaviour isnt always going to mean the same as it would if humans behaved that way towards one another.
Awe they're so precious and lucky to have such loving humans 💖
1:04 "where is my fatass" hehe gotta love Dutch people for calling things fat because you love them
They are adorable! Glad you got another one so the other wouldn't be lonely! I love to watch them eat a salad! They make it look so good and it makes me hungry! What a pair you have!
Ginny is gorgeous and you're both amazing, exemplary rabbit owners. So lucky for them to get the prettiest salad bowls :)
So sweet! I rescued a female that had been given to my two-year-old granddaughter. Her parents knew that they couldn’t take care of her so I took her, had her spayed, then took her to a rescue organization to bond her with a male. She found a nice guy bunny to spend her time with and they are best friends. 🥰
Thats a love story I can believe in.
It’s hard to believe how smart these rabbits are. They’re like dogs!
Exactly! I've got a Californian rabbit and he's like a Golden Retriever in a bunny costume
Ehhhh
Really? They look kinda dumb n clueless.

OMGosh best story ever!!! What amazing bunny parents you are and such lucky bunny babies. Lightened my heart!
Ain't no love like a bunny's love 😊❤
How perfectly precious! You're a sweetheart for playing Cupid with the adorable bunny couple!!🥰
2:22 Beautiful food for beautiful bunnies!
They’re gorgeous. My 2 bunnies have those same treat balls. They love playing with them.
Bux and Ginny are a sweet bunny couple. Thank you for taking them in,and making a friendly,loving home for them.
Sweet big bunnies. They are full of surprises. So loving together. Love them!
What an adorable couple, Bux and Ginny 💞💞💞💞
This was quite the beautiful and peaceful video to watch. You can tell they really love their home and family!
4:24 - "Hurry the humans are looking. Smile for the camera!"
2:51 She's not saying "oh yay", she's saying "o jee" which is Dutch for "oh boy" or "oh no".
They are both adorable 😍🤗💕
Very sweet couple. Fun to watch and be around. 🐇❤️
These two are soulmates! And their pet parents are so awesome.
My family had two Mongolian desert rats -- and even though they were physically tiny creatures, they had distinct personalities. The more time that humans spend with companion animals, the more we are likely to learn from them & about them....
They have different personalities? Everything has a different personality. Insects, even--I've kept a number of preying mantids, and each was its own recognizable self. I was rather surprised, and I asked a friend, "So, how far down the scale of existence does personality go, do you think?" She replied, deadpan, "All the way to the rocks."
Gorgeous bunnies & what great bunny parents you are. Giving your bunnies everything they need. They look so healthy & happy.

I really can’t handle how precious and cute and sweet this all is!!! ♥️💕♥️ fluffy sweet babies!!!
You are sooo nice to think about other beings most deem as lesser than our own. Many animals seem better than people to me. It is very heart warming to see your empathy few have.
