New Zealand mini Rex mix! ❤ he is one of the sweetest rabbit I've ever owned and he's 2 years old
@@LennonTheBunny Mini Rex ❤️❤️
Trash buns I own my two rabbits because I found nacho pregnant in my trash can the other one I kept is her son freckles
I have a mini lop. A friend saved him at a shelter and couldn’t care for him. He hasn’t had any ear issues so far. We estimated that he is around 8 years old. He free roams in my bedroom and gets to explore the house when I am watching him. If you ever do another “reacting to subscribers habitats” video I would absolutely love to add pictures of my place!
I have lion head/mini lop/ netherland dwarf mix and i just adopted another lion head/mini lop mix. Love your videos! Super grateful for all the tips on rabbit care. Lots of love!❤
Holland lop owner here and i can confirm everything you said but we still love her to death! We did rescue a looped ear lionhead years ago and he had so many health issues but we did everything we could to give him a happy comfortable life until he passed.
Oh no! ☹️☹️ I’m so sorry for you 😢❤
He was greeted by our bunnies 🐰 ❤️ Bunny, Harley, Cadbury, and Bun Bun V at the Rainbow 🌈 🌉 Bridge! I am sure they are eating and playing together ❤️!
Our dad Clinton is a Holland lop, who is 11 years old. He used to have airplane ears. They are getting a bit more loppy with age.
He flipped into his outdoor playpen the other day.
Clint got the rescue bunny, Nutmeg, a rex, pregnant. They had 2 babies, Snuffles, and Sunshine, who are 3 1/2 years old now.
Clint has the most amazing personality, and loves to be held, and cuddled.
His sister passed at 9 1/2 years old. She had the American fuzzy lop gene and developed some deafness.

I have never chosen a rabbit for their breed so this is all new to me
I would not choose for breed either.
@@qsbarrtubeSame
@@qsbarrtuberight she is not very bright anymore
@@qsbarrtubeI choose a rabbit 🐇 for their breed Looks and their personality traits
I had a Netherland Dwarf bunny that lived 13 years. I loved him and took care of him the best I could.
I believe our bun is this same breed or a mix at least. We don’t know for sure but basing it on photos. He is the sweetest one year old. I’m so happy to hear yours lived a long life ❤
Our office bunny is a dwarf & he’s just fine too lol ❤
I also had a Netherland Dwarf bunny and she lived to be 12 years. She was overall very healthy with no health issues thankfully.
I want to add that she was the absolute best. Super sweet bunny. I miss her
They are the best!!! ❤ I love mine so much.
If I ever decide to get another pet again, my ass would be heading to a shelter to rescue one!! Too many pets are left to a shelter!! ENOUGH with the exotic breeds for people to show off. This has got to stop!!
Our rabbit was four years old when my family rescued her. She’s been so sweet and loving. It’s like she knows we saved her. She’s been the best bun for the past two years! I think she has a little lionhead in her based on pictures, but she’s the sweetest, prettiest white, blue-eyed bunny no matter what combination of breeds she is.
Absolutely. I've done so many times and they are just as fun and loving and happy as any rabbit you would ever find at a pet store or from a breeder. Everyone wins here: You get a loving pet (for free or at least cheaply), the bun gets a loving owner and the shelter has more free room to take in another rescue that needs saving. Also comes with the added benefit that these rabbits are probably already spayed or neutered. And you can also often find pairs that are already bonded, in case you want to get more than just one. (prior bonding is no guarantee that here won't be issues later on in a new environment, of course, but it greatly increases the chance of a smooth transition)
Only downside is, that rabbits at a shelter may have been dumped because of health issues - so there could be a higher percentage of chronically ill rabbits at the shelter, that will require some extra care by the owner. E.g. buns with chronic teeth problems or survivors of E. cuniculi with a remaining head tilt or mobility issues. It doesn't have to be this way, of course. If that scares you, ask the workers at the shelter and make sure to look for healthy buns. No shame in asking for that, especially for first time owners lacking the experience to properly care for these rabbits needing some extra care.
Adopt and shop responsibly!
The only reason my family got a bunny at a pet store was because none were available to adopt. She was a pure black “dwarf” rabbit. She was 7 pounds, so dwarf is in quotes there. And no, she wasn’t overweight.
A bit off topic here, but every time I hear her start off with “hey Lennies”, it feels more and more cringe
My Holland lop (8 years old, rescue) has never had any health issues at all! His ears and teeth have always been fine. It's been my more prognathic bunnies that have needed molar trims.
Lionhead owner here - they may have crazy shedding of their coats, but they are such wonderful pets!
When I had a lionhead, she had like a little skirt that shed a lot lol 😅
i use to have a lionhead , he lived until he was age 12. i miss him
@@iiv_dannybo1I’m so sorry for your loss 😢
Is your lionhead skiddish? I have one that just had his 4th birthday🥳 and he’s still a bit shy at times. I’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old.
@@MahoganyBelle mine is a bit skiddish sometimes
When I started volunteering, I specifically asked the shelter owner which rabbits she thought were least adoptable. She recommended a brother and sister, one all white and one all black. I absolutely love them and they've lived with me for almost a year now
That's wonderful!. I also have a pair of siblings. They're mixes with black and brown broken pattern spots. Despite being sisters, they have totally different personalities. The good thing about having contrasting bunnies is they are easy to tell apart :-)
@@tcookie haha, I bet. I actually have the mom, too. I can tell her and the daughter apart, but one time, when it was dark, I did mistake one for the other
So nice of you to ask for for the least adoptable. Also, black buns are so lovely. I had one before and it loved climbing onto my shoulder. Usually, rabbits hate getting picked up, but she was almost the only bun that voluntarily got me to carry her around. I'd hold her to my chest giving a good back rub and she'd look over my shoulder and enjoy the view. 😅
I have to REW sisters that I adopted from the local House Rabbit Society. I took my lone boy bunny dating after I lost his sister to stasis. He fell in love with these 2 sisters that no one else wanted because of their color, they were 6 years old and had to be adopted together. I absolutely adore them. And my boy Nutella is thrilled with his 2 wives. The bonding went incredibly fast.
@@emilywilhite5807too cute
I have a dwarf bunny...and I haven't been experienced any medical problems with her, especially her teeth. She isn't super affectionate...but, she's still gentle and a good fur daughter.
when you said mixed rabbits especially all black or all white ones get over looked it broke my heart. My baby is fully black and I love her dearly. Originally we were getting one rabbit (Oli) but we saw Celia scared and no one wanted her so we took her too. We didn't realize she was pregnant when we got her. She had 6 babies. Unfortunately 2 passed away. We are fortunate enough to be able to have a dedicated bunny room. Each bunny has an exercise pen etc. I take them individually to my room so that they can free roam. We are working on getting all of them fixed. So far mom and dad are fixed and will soon be bonded/together. We plan on keeping the entire family together because my vegan heart can't give them away. Everything that I have learned I have learned from you. Thank you so much!
@@hi-rp7tc I also have one and after seeing that I was wondering why when mine is so sweet and loves everyone
Blacks and REWs aren't guaranteed to be mixed, they're just very unpopular colors
In general it is sad but all black animals seem to be over looked which is very sad.
I have a mix grey and white bun whom I love!
I love the all buns
I have a Holland Lop. He’s 7 and just a little cuddle bug. No ear issues or teeth issues. Occasionally will get stopped up when stressed, but overall, a healthy little guy. Love him to death. ❤
I have a lionhead who is 8 yrs old. I love him so much and he’s been healthy except for developing glaucoma and he lost his eye. Since it’s been removed he’s been happier and even healthier. I wish he could live forever!
I have a lionhead mix. He’s incredibly sweet and was easy to litter train right from the get go. The reason I wanted to adopt him was because his profile said that he was supposed to be used as food, ugh! I don’t know for what, but his little heart called out to me and I knew I HAD to have him! Ludwig just celebrated his first birthday with me and is super happy and healthy, so far. He is so treat motivated that I’m sure I could teach him tricks, but I just want to love on him instead of making him perform me. He’s just so smart that it blows my mind. And yes, he is cage free..has the whole upstairs to run around (my bedroom and his room/my tv room)..he’s my first bun, and I didn’t know I could fall so helplessly in love with something as perfect as he is ♥️
My Hunny Bunny is a rescue. She came from an overpopulated family and she is very happy being an only child now because she has all the food she wants and she gets all of my attention. I don't know what breed she is but she's beautiful.
I rescued my 2 Mini lops. I LOVE THEM very much.
I rescued my bonded bunnies and they are both mixed breed!!! One is a cute lionhead mix!
I love lionheads!!
We have a Hollander lop. We weren’t looking for any specific breed, but someone we know adopted a pregnant bunny unknowingly. We ended up adopting one of the babies. He’s 3 years old now and has teeth issues. Goes to the vet every 3 weeks to get his teeth trimmed. I will go to the end of the earth to make sure he’s happy and healthy. He’s my boy.
Wow your baby has to get their teeth trimmed that much??? Has your vet recommended any in home treats to help? I have just regular bunns... they are rescued bunns and I give them bamboo sticks and they love them.
@@angela6394 unfortunately his teeth are misaligned so not much he can do on his own to keep his teeth From growing. He is also not a chewer. He eats hay, but doesn’t chew on anything else. We made him a cardboard hidey hut 2 years ago and it’s still fully intact, we thought he would destroy it.
@@Meowgismommy Californian, Duchess is the opposite. She chews on everything and anything she can get her teeth on. Cords, cardboard, hay, even the walls, she eats basically everything. I hope your baby has a long and healthy life!
My lionhead, Ozzy, was bonded to me like Lennon is to you. He was a one of a kind, very special bunny, and I still miss him so much. My holland lop, Sophie, was a very sweet bunny, but one and done because of the tooth/ear issues like you said. Her husbun, Lulu, is an all black Havana who is my cheeky boy. When Sophie passed, I was on the lookout for either a REW, a lionhead, or a giant. One of the rescues messaged me that they had a REW lionhead and that’s how Drew Bunnymore came into my life. 🥰 I still want a giant just once in my life.
I still just have my rescued Rex. She's bathing herself as I type this. It always makes me laugh because she makes funny grunting noises while she cleans herself. I call it "singing in the shower." 😂
Aww that’s so cute! I have a rexie too but I think he’s mixed and omg I love the little guy so much! He’s made me love the breed ❤ rexies are just too adorable
Singing in the shower!!! Haha omgosh I love this so much ❤ too cute

I have pure bred solid black New Zealand rabbit and his name is Ruffles, I had no idea New Zealand rabbits came in colors other than white until I got him but they do. All rabbits are so beautiful and loving
My bunny was a dwarf lop, we have never abandoned a bunny even when they get sick. She was so cute, I used to snuggle up to her in my bed. Her fur was so soft and her whiskers used to tickle my face when she licked me. I also love guinea pig's
I had a dwarf bunny she was the best temperament and heath. Which is rare for dwarfs

I own a lionhead rabbit. I can confirm that the shedding sucks and he does get hot in the summer but just as long as he has an ice pack he's ok!:)
Lennon is adorable♡♡
Next time I get a bunny I will be adopting. I know so much more about bunnies than i did two years ago when I got my bunny. I hope all yhe little bunnies in the shelters find good loving homes like they deserve.

Polish, Lionhead, and Netherland dwarf
My boy Binky (almost 8) is a mixed breed. Adopted him when he was 1,5 years old. I have no idea what kind of "mix" is in him, but he's beautiful and don't understand why nobody wanted to adopt him before me. He's Light brown, white and has black spots all over his little snoot, the biggest Bambi eyes you've ever seen & the softest cutie nose.
Despite the fact that he's an amputee (back leg), he's doing very well. Mixed rabbits have always had my preference for this very reason. They're more "sturdy" and resilient, and their personalities tend to be more mellow. 💜💜
I have 3 Netherland dwarves , 1 mini lop who is not so mini lol but he has dental issues and has to have his teeth burred every year. His lady friend is a mixed domestic bunny whom I rescued.
Really enjoyed watching this ❤
I don't know what breed my daughter has. We got it at a shelter in Seattle. It was found hiding in Shoreline, WA. He's definitely a domestic breed or mixed breed, being mostly white, with some light brown patches. He's a fantastic rabbit, and gets a lot of attention.
Edit: I learned so many things about rabbits it's crazy. The main thing is the fact that they use a litter box, and our rabbit immediately used his when we brought him home. I was shocked to see that.
The most popular rabbit in my region is the Dutch rabbit. I have a Dutch named Jackie and they’re absolutely the sweetest rabbit you’ll ever find. I got Jackie from a now closed shelter that would rescue rabbits from the 4H county fair breeders. The slogan here is “Got Dutch?”
I have 9 year old Dutchie. She's never had a health problem and she's the sweetest thing imaginable. 😊
My two favorites are what you listed. 😢I am so gaga over lops and the dwarf bunnies.
I have a mini Rex and holy cow is her fur the softest stuff I’ve ever felt. Every time someone meets her they are immediately shocked by how soft she is. She’s also adorable and so squishy but a big trouble maker lol
Not to be a hater in all right now, but with their first choice of rabbit breeds not to own I own two of them and they are the sweetest rabbits and they don’t have any problems at all. They are Hollyn lops. They give me kisses all day.
The question is not of whether they are sweet. Of course they are sweet. The problem is that seeking those breeds out supports the continued suffering of rabbits.
I have a Flemish Giant! He’s a freaking angel. I adore him, he acts like a puppy! I’m also in the process of adopting a dwarf rabbit. I didn’t search them out for their breeds, but their ADORABLE personalities. However. I would not recommend a giant rabbit to someone. He’s so huge it definitely causes issues. Thank you for bringing this to attention!
My Son Kirby 🐰 and I say Hi to your Beautiful Bunny 🐇 and Loving Family. Kirby 🐰 is a Flemish Giant, Free Roamer, and Eating Chewing Machine , 15 lbs of Pure Fun. He's the Boss of the House 🏡. We will be Celebrating 🎉 our Birthday 🎂 together and 3 years, when I first Adopted My Son Kirby 🐰. Kirby 🐰 will be 4, I his Crazy Bunny Father will be 75. He's My Life, Bodyguard and One and Only Son.✨🤗💞🥰💘💕🐰
I've watched Flemish rabbit videos and they all have that dog like personality..I always wanted one..the draw back is they have short lives.
@@janc8199 I know, it makes me so sad. The only health problem he’s has so far is dry skin, he’s 2 years old. Praying my little rabbit I’m adopting doesn’t have many health issues either! I visited a shelter and just fell so in love with her, so honestly I don’t even mind caring for health problems in either of my rabbits. They’re kinda like my babies!
My Flemish, Pepper is just like you said, she just thinks anytime I sit down is cuddle-time! Granted, I'm in a wheelchair, so it's awkward but lovely. It is unfortunate that they live short lives, but I think their personality and love makes up for it.
@@WhtCrstlJudgmntDrgn so sweet!!!
I rescued a 5 year old lion head! Named her Chai and she is absolutely my world! Watching your videos has helped me, and her, a whole lot. I would love to pick your brain some time for some advice on how to make her thrive further 💕 thank you so much for your content 😊
I have one mini lop and a Holland lop I have had them for 2 years. they have their own room indoors and a door that goes outside when I'm watching. No health issues yet, hoping they can stay healthy.
I love the loppys there ears are adorable but my mini Rex bunny I love so much her constant high pitch sqeaking in the morning and during the day she just loves to cuddle she loves to flop on me or beside me she constantly licking me I just love everything about her❤
I have a netherland dwarf bun and he is amazing. Literally a total sweet heart and when we first got him he was never timid. After 2 months he was cuddling with me
I fostered a black rabbit who was 8 yrs old. Flower was the best girl very lovey and sweet. She would bull rush the cats. Very territorial to me. Our shepherd adopt3d her as a puppy and protected her from the other pets. She actuality attacked my big boy cat because he was loving on me. She passed from cancer. I moss her every day. Love you Flower!!
We have three mini rexes, one buck and two does and two Silver Fox Does. We enjoy them all and yes, they are a lot of work and cost but bunyy love is bunny love.
We’ve had a mini lop that had severe dental issues due to a tumor behind his jaw. We had a rescued holland lop that had constant dental and gi issues. We had a rescued up right eared black bunny that lost the fight against bloat. And we currently have a rescue bunny that we helped catch, that is some kind of lop mix. Her ears are all over the place like satellite dishes.
I have a 4 year old Holland Lop I addopted at 8 weeks old. No heath issues ever. I love my bunny and cannot imagine life without him.
I rescued a Flemish Giant/New Zealand mix bun. Then a year later I rescued a Mini Rex. They bonded in just 4 days! ❤
I have a Netherland dwarf. He just turned 16 months. Everything is perfect, I love him so much. Did my research before getting him and take him to the vet! Teeth are fine, loves to eat and play. Super sweet temperament. Very independent and sassy
I have two mini lops not out of intent they turned up in my garden as babies and we gave them a home. They have a huge enclosure in the garden so have plenty of space to exercise and do zoomies. Unfortunately they can’t be house bunnies due to my cat but they seem very content outside.
Tysm! I can’t get a bunny but Im getting a realistic plush rabbit so it can give me a idea on how to take care of a real one and help me cope with not having a rabbit!
I have a 2 month old holland lop her names maple she is the sweetest but I have done tons of research about their ears so I can care for her❤
I LOVE my EA and we have a weekly grooming routine that we both enjoy. I collect, spin, and knit her fiber. She free roams in air conditioning all summer. She is quite the Diva but we love her!
I have a Himalayan
He is so cuddly and cute but some people don’t like the breed because of their red eyes which I think is adorable
I am the proud bunny parent of an all white, red eyed big boy and a mostly white with a bit of grey nose, feet and ear red eyed little girl. These rabbits get over looked all the time but they really are some of the sweetest bunnies! Don’t let their ruby eyes deter you from adopting one of them. Thank you for sharing all the good bunny videos!
I have adopted two bunnies-one from each next door neighbour- they both are some lop mix- one girl and one boy. Since we live in a house, they have their own sheltered and very well protected outside space. They are spoiled rotten, and live very well balanced life- regular morning outings in the big garden- they follow me like little dogs- most endearing.Yes, we had a health issue with Basil(she, her) but luckily everything is fine,after monts of insane looking after her. I love them like kids. Adopt, don’t shop.
I have a Angora/holland lop mix, a fuzzy lop, I rescued her from a shelter last year, she is my world and I shave her every week, she's a lot of work but so worth it
I have a Holland Rex lop and his fluffy coat sheds like crazy and the hair on his feet get matted even when I groom him he needs a lot of patience that I don’t have but I do try and take care of him the best I can ❤
I adopted a dwarf rabbit that has malocclusion I have to trim his teeth often'' he was 6 years old when i adopted him he is ten years old now. I also adopted a lion head rabbit she needs allot of care brushing she was treated for fleas a while ago I also found apple cider vinegar and water helps keep long haired rabbits' fur healthy and keeps fleas and mite away it does do what it says it does. I don't think I'll adopt a lion head rabbit again unless I run across one that really needs a good home.
I chose my 2 rabbits by asking the shelter to see whoever was there the longest. One is a big goofy Californian. This breed often gets overlooked because they have red eyes. The other was a Havana, also overlooked for something beyond her control, her black fur. Many people are superstitious about animals with black fur and other don't think these animals are photogenic. Those people are missing out! Couldn't ask for more wonderful rabbits. Larger breeds may not live as long, but they are often more friendly and better suited for a family with children as they are *slightly* less delicate.
I have a rescue Californian rabbit too!! She had been rescued from a meat farm and spent over a year in the shelter before I got her. She's absolutely the smartest rabbit I've ever had!
I have a Havana with black fur. She’s gorgeous, I rescued her because she had been dumped in someone’s lawn. I can’t imagine someone passing on a black bunny ;w;
Our rabbit was adopted by my boyfriend because it said "No Small Children."She is an all black rex mix. Shes very sweet and a little sassy but she is such a good bun bun. We love her.
i used to watch you everyday in 2019!! your the reason i own 2 happy bunnies thank you for everything
I have a lionhead mix, that i rescued from a classroom. So glad he’s only a single mane because that boy HATES being brushed.
Mine too! Single mane and will absolutely not allow me to brush him. Its so frustrating and I k ow hes itchy. But he will come over and ask me to cut out any matting so I suppose that's something
My two buns are both shelter rescues and both albino (I suspect they’re mostly New Zealand White, but can’t be sure), and they’re incredibly affectionate and virtually fearless around people despite their rescue backgrounds. I get so choked up too whenever I think about how overlooked they are because people don’t like their red eyes. I wish I had the resources to rescue more of them, because they have such wonderful dispositions and personalities in my experience. ❤🐇
I have two mini lops, that are living in a huge cage!, they get lots of pets and kisses. Sadly they are from separate homes and hate each other, I have one black one and love him so much!, & one tan with black & brown spots so adorable!!
We never considered the breed when we got our rabbits. Haku was my first bunny and he prefers to be a solo pet who gets the attention lol. Sammy is a funny story. He is a mini lopped eared bunny, with sandy colors. My mom got him from a pet store while she was waiting for her girl, who is a broken black n white mini rex, aka much bigger then both Sammy and Haku(who is a mini rex with the otter coat). We were told by the store that Sammy was a girl, never bothered to check or showed us how to check. Sammy was our second bunny so we were still new. Since we thought he was a girl, he was named Sandy for her colors, and roomed her with our Bella. Welp we found out later down the line when my mom was cleaning Sammy's bottom booty and saw it sticking out. And out came two adorable boys of mixed breeds between mini lopped ears and mini rex brothers, Izzy and Oreo. We are planning on getting them fixed for sure, we have a vacation planned up soon, so my money will be focused on their vet bills, which in of itself isn't cheap nor was it easy to find the right type of vet that takes in bunnies. Main point in being, like you have said before in past videos, always do your research if your getting a rabbit or something like it.
I have a neverwen dwarf who is all gray I fell in love with her and she has a amazing personality
my rabbit was a lionhead lop. he was very social and a sweet guy, but he got GI issues very often due to blockages because he consumed too much of his own hair when cleaning himself. he passed away in march, and we think that was the exact reason of his passing. 😢❤ they still make amazing pets, but you have to be careful and make sure to brush them often!
Breed has never been that important to me when it comes to choosing my pets. I was just happy I was there to adopt mine when I did ^_^ I don't think I''ll ever end up with one of the giant rabbits just due to lack of space, but who knows what'll happen in the future
I had house rabbits as a kid and I'm 61 years old, so I remember them as "plain ol' rabbits") lol. I had never heard of the majority of the breeds that you hear about today. I haven't had any for the last several years, because I have a dog, and I don't want the chance of a rabbit getting hurt. But, when my dog passes, I will get another rabbit because they are SO special to me. Thank you for this video, it has helped me decide that I will definitely get one from the humane society. :)
Proud owner of three mixed breed rescue rabbits!
Hi! Binx is my Holland Lop. I love him dearly. I take him to the vet yearly for his check-up and booster shot. Binx also visits every 3 months for his pedicure and manicure! He is in perfect health! I always check his ears, teeth, and nails.
i have an all black holland lop! she has to get molar trims every 6 months and has developed an ear infection before, so i definitely understand your concerns with lops. but she is happy and healthy and i am so lucky to have her 😊
I have a gray lion head! At the time when we got him, I didn't know of any rabbit shelters nearby, so we bought him at an exotic breaker place that had all types of animals. Going forward, if I ever want to get another one I know to adopt BUT I wont take back not adopting at first because it allowed me to find my baby boy Dusty! He is so sassy but I love him, I can tell as we have changed up his living space to be more open and kinda free roam, he is way more happy!
I have two mini rex rabbits and they're both very calm with one being 6 years old now and the other being 2+ years old.
Milkyway (my black and white 6 year old) is my first rabbit and he's the main reason why i fell in love with the mini rex breed! Their pelts are super soft and don't really shed all that much and boy do they have sassy personalities lol.
Skyelina is the more curious and troublesome of the two as she likes to get into my trash if kept unattended, but she LOVES attention as she full on sploots the moment you touch her.
They both hate their bums being touched, and love their heads being rubbed.
I used to have a lionhead rabbit named Leona, but didn't have her for that long, but surprisingly she didn't shed that much. She actually had very kept fur, so I think she may have been a mixed breed. Loved her so much, it's been a year and a half without her and I still miss her very much
The min-rex I had was like owning a border collie. Extreme energy got into everything figured out how to get on the table by moving the chairs. Opened doors had to move the sofa because he figured out he could jump over the dutch door off the back of it
I have a mini rex too! It’s my first time having one. He’s white with black spots and he’s just a little over 1 years old. Omg. He is the most rambunctious bunny ever. He LOVES climbing things and testing how far/high he can jump. He’s really got a cat personality. If I don’t have my dining table chairs pushed all the way in, he’ll be on the dining table every moment he can get. He’ll just sleep on my tv stand too. 😂😂😂 He’s such a cuddle bug but sadly he’s a daddy’s boy.
I have a rescue mini lop - we are regulars at the vet for ear infections and eye problems. She also has a hip displasia and is completely deaf (to the best of our knowledge).
I had a lop eared rabbit who has never had hearing problems, he lived 13 years with me. Now i have another lop eared rabbit
I have a Holland lop and they are great beginner bunnies, they usually are more calm and don't have any coat problems , plus they're very cute 😘😘😍
I love large rabbits. I have Flemish mixes that are on the small side: 7lb and 11lb. So they should be living longer than normal flemishes. :) Both are rescues!
I got my holland lop bunny 8 days ago and he is so sweet he loves to be pet and held and is so curious He is a free roam bunny and he loves all the toys I give him
I have a lionhead dwarf rabbit named Cheddar. Also i love your channel im subscribed and watch every video. This channel has helped me learn how to take care of my bunny which is almost 4 months old
I had Netherlands dwarf rabbits for more than twenty years, although my last one died a few years ago. I loved that boy, and thoughts of him still bring tears to my eyes. We never experience any of the "predictable" health issues except one. As you mentioned, dwarves are brachycephalic (their head is compact). In his twelfth and final year of life, my Goliath developed dry-eye and blocked tear ducts. I had to wash his eyes and face daily. Eventually the tears running down his face stripped the fur off his skin, which, to my shock, was red and black like a checkerboard. I still miss the little character.
I wouldn't say i chose my buns more like they came to me at a time i needed them .. idk what breed they are, they were given to me by a friend who found them in her neighborhood they have the best life. .. i have learned so much from my girls. Love your channel ❤
When I started volunteering at a shelter, I just wanted a pair of chill lops I could put hats on and I was disappointed when I was asked to foster a sister pair of rex/english spot mixes found as strays instead. Now I'm so glad to have my BBs. They're healthy and lively (only 1 year old) with lots of personality--though little hats are out of the question! I look forward to keeping them and letting them take over my house.
True.my Dutch dwarf son died from genetics health problem and died at early age while my elder son who is a mixed, he was very healthy and long lived( he died at 12). No matter what, once they are my children, I just love them and take good care of them
I have to holland lops and I
LOVE!!!!!! them.
I own a Harlequin rabbit that is also mixed with something else!❤🐰
I have two holland lops one dwarf and 4 mixed one I got from a sale barn. We named her Parschilla if we didn't get her she would become food..
I have a lionhead all black bunny. Her name is Thumper which fits her perfectly. She is such a joy to me and my daughter. She is free roam and loves bedtime stories. Thank you for all your content
I had a sweet dutch rabbit boy for 10.5 years and he never had a single health issue 😊 Such a cute personality he had too!
I have an English Angora and he is the absolute sweetest! They definitely are a LOT of work but I’m a professional groomer so I enjoy it and he loves the bonding time 🥰
I have a lionhead lop (adopted) and honestly the first health problem she got was cataract last year when she was 7 years old and then only a few months ago she got her first ear infection and she is 8 years old, the vets was honestly impressed that this was the first time she ever got ear problems and we got it under control straight away, she does have slight arthritis but nothing too much as she still acts like a young healthy rabbit. And we also have a Thrianta bunny (also adopted) who is nearly 6 years old and besides nearly going into gi status once, he is also a very healthy bun too 💗💗
I have a rescue lion head mix and grooming him is a full time job!! I got the hoover thing you showed. He’s letting me use it after proper introduction
I rescued my new Zealand white from an animal charity I work for she came from a lab 😢 I love her great pet
I want a New Zealand White one day! I’d love to give a former lab rabbit their best life!
I love my New Zealand white, I rescued him as well. They’re such sweet buns.
I rescued 2. Kellie is a half dwarf but I think where I adopted her from just made that up lol. She is regular size. I was told that herb is a polish by our vet... which is just a basic badass bunn
I'm quite lucky, I have a dwarf and a Netherlands dwarf and they never had any problem, for now! ♥
I just got my first rabbit a month ago. His name is Marshall B Rabbit and he is a teddy lionhead dwarf. We are bonding well and he has such a fun personality!!! I absolutely love him!
I own one all white rabbit and one will black reddit and they are my best friends. I love them💕💕
I own a lop eared bunny and a netherland dwarf and they will both be 1 years old in September and so far there has been no issues.
I've got a lionhead mix from the shelter last month and she's actually got her own hairstyle because there is more long hairs on one side than the other like a little hairdo! I call her Honey Muffin and I couldn't be happier to have her! I double checked with the vet that I was doing everything right and she confirmed, plus we had a laugh because the vet knew my bunny before I adopted her and couldn't believe she was meeting the same bunny again!
I just want to say, I came across your video in 2018 or 2019 when I wanted to have a rabbit, but the time wasn't right. There were lot of things to be considered. I finally adopted one last month. He is the best.
i completely agree with your holland lop take. my bf and i rescued our holland lop from craiglist and we’d never owned a rabbit before so we went in blind. he’s so friendly and sweet but he gets sick at least once a year. he is deaf bc of his lop ears, and he gets frequent double inner ear infections bc of his ears. when he was just a year old he got a double ear infection AND e cuniculi and almost died bc of it. i love him with my whole heart but i would never seek out this breed ever again.
I have new rescue rabbit and i was not sure but i realized he is a French Angora since he grown for 3 months now 7 month old I trim his hair weekly with comb every 2 days ❤😂
We've had our buns for almost 4 years now and adopted from a local rescue. My daughter (now almost 21) needed an emotional support animal for mental health reasons and for various reasons we settled on a bunny. After much research, and talking to the rescue owner, we ended up adopting a pair. My daughter's bunny is peanut-butter brown and we don't really know his breed. My bun is a lionhead mix - we are guessing lionhead-chinchilla due to her coat. My bun's story broke my heart - a "breeder" had mangled her ears badly & then surrendered her to the rescue so the aftermath wouldn't reflect poorly on their "business." (Cattle tags have no business in bunny ears, after all.) Good grief their fluff gets everywhere - but we don't mind. Love them to the moon and back, and we have promised them a happy home until the end of their days.
The Belgian Hare is the Pitbull of rabbits. I can’t stand “Mr. Worldwide”. 😂😂😂
I own two dwarf rabbits, one of them is a holland lop. I adopted them because of their personalities from a shelter. The amount of times I went to the vet, I stopped counting. But I feel like that has nothing to do with the breed. The bunnies I used to have years ago also were dwarfs and/or lops and were perfectly fine. You can get lucky or unlucky.
My bun was a Lion/lop mix, a gorgeous set of black spots on white. He lived just short of ten years, and he was the best companion I could’ve asked for. He definitely had some regular ear cleaning, as we noticed that he was uncomfortable without it. Even in his old age, we were lucky enough to be able to treat his arthritis and when the day came, we made the decision to make it quick and kind for him. I would definitely adopt another rabbit, a pair most likely, and gosh darn it if that means a “boring” looking rabbit picks me then so be it! I’ll love that rabbit like it’s never been loved before.
