Hey Lennon I'm going to do a rabbit habit tat as well within a few days will you be able to review that with some others please?❤
Lorelei I really want you too see my rabbits habitat because I’m a (sort of) carpenter and I made her a castle and I want a professional to rate her setup. I always want the best for my bun and it would be nice if you rated her setup lol 😅
Deodorant?? Thank goodness. Eureka ! 🤣
The truth is if you really want your bunny to love you people you got to put up with the hassle of free roam
I remember when the girlfriend brought the first bunny home and said we're going to get a cage for him and I said no we're are not
Hi, I have the first enclosure in the video. Please allow me to react:
1. it's impractical:
I am willing to go outside every day to spend time with my bunnies. They can hop on the grass every now and then. I do not have to worry about hay or an accident inside. So yes they are in the garden, yes I have to walk maybe 20 seconds to them, but i am willing to. What is the problem? You're creating problems here, just to blame me.
2. It's not safe:
Yes it is. We worked days on this enclosure, my pinky finger can fit nowhere through. The tiles are super heavy. I regularly check if there are no signs of broken parts. Nothing can go in or out.
3. It's bleak:
are my rabbits judging the astethics of the enclosure? There are few decoration options for outdoor enclosures that are rabbit proof, so I chose to not decorate for their safety. I am so so sorry that you think that affects the 'score' of the enclosure.
4. The diet:
They get fresh greens every day. This is most of the time a mix of brocolli, carrot, carrot tops, lettuce, cucumber, banana, blueberries, cauliflower leaves, apple, etc. . I give the cauliflower leaves in moderation because they can get windy, and some fruits as a snack. They also get some pellets and unlimited hay. What bothers you?
5 You're treating them as farm animals:
Yes the enclosure looks like it could come from a western movie. That's because triangles are strong, so it's just practical. Once again, I am sorry if that is 'wrong' bunny care. You have no idea how loved my bunnies are. They are prefectly healty and super happy.
6. Why don't you want to bring them inside:
Most of my family members are allergic. Bunny proofing is never 100% effective. I have a loving family to watch movies with, my bunnies can chill outside, where they have fun, where they can do what they want, not what we want them to do.
The rest is for another time, if I keep typing I will get furious. man I am angry.
I'm very sorry for how Lorelei rated your enclosure. She even ignored a person's email about why the person needed plastic on the couch for their special-needs bunny, and roasted them instead for it without mention. She's turning into an extremely classist and elitist channel, and the majority of people here are aware how your enclosure is very amazing! There are a few who share her classist and elitist opinion, though. There are indoor rabbits that get a smaller amount of space, and no food/water seen, but it's fine because it's "aesthetic". yet, these same people get their panties in a twist when they see an incredible, safe enclosure, with a rabbit that gets a bunch of space to run, yummy greens, and the ability to dig! I wouldn't worry about her rating when she simply rates based off aesthetic, vs the rabbit's needs!
i really appreciate this comment and i hope other people can see this. every single thing about your build shows extreme thought and prioritizes your bunnies’ needs instead of anthropomorphizing them. i actually highlighted a lot of your efforts in another comment i left here. if it’s any consolation, i think her response to your bunnies’ habitat helped start a discussion in the comments about some of the issues in the rabbit community; your contribution is still important, and i’m sorry it was overlooked this way. i really appreciate you responding to her in such a calm, reasoned way.
also this is off topic but could you talk about how you rabbit proofed the tunnels? very curious
Dont worry. Your enclosure is very fine. I usually agree with Lorelei, but this Video was Trash. Did you See that horrible tiny closet cage? She praised it so high, but its soooo terrible. I think you can add some toys, but other than that your bunnies should be fine
Thank you for commenting and sharing! You are a great bunny owner and there’s no reason to shit on ppl when they don’t even know what effort goes in
The first is an outdoor predator proof enclosure, which is really common in the UK. It looks like the rabbits had a lot of space to hop, jump and binky. Rabbits who are kept in pairs or groups (as they should be) don’t need humans for company. They also appear to have the space recommended by the RWAF. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it meets the rabbits needs, which is great. The same applies to the shed, which has an open hutch as a hideaway for the rabbit.
The enclosure in the closet, however, does not meet a rabbits needs. Each level didn’t appear to be at least 1m high (to allow them to stand up on their back legs) and also seems dangerous if the rabbit was to fall off the top level if the door was suddenly opened. Rabbits have very delicate spines. A rabbit should also never be locked into an enclosure that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, for any amount of time. This is well below the recommended space a rabbit needs.
Yeah I don't understand how the closet scored better. I think people need to consider that being outside is totally different depending on what country you're in and that sometimes there is no choice to have them inside. I've also found when I give mine free access to outside they'll just happily sit out there in all weather 😂
Yes! The outdoor housing was bashed completely unnecessarily.
I am pretty the vast majority of rabbits would rather live together in a large outdoor space, than locked up in a tiny closet alone and unable to run or hop.
And it is a cultural difference as well. I live in Europe and some rescues would not even adopt their bunnies out to indoor housing and I never saw a rescue that would adopt out single bunnies (unless there is a medical problem or something)
Totally agree. Guess it's different in europe but in my opinion it IS the best choice if its predatorproof. Shouldn't watch her videos anymore, I get angry all the time she is bashing an outside space
Exactly you summed it up perfect.
Oof, they don't NEED humans for company? Why the ef do you want a rabbit then?
Unsure how you can praise a rabbit being stuck inside a small closet all day but hate on a large secure enclosure outside that allows them to perform all of their natural instincts.
Even with access to some free roaming, being stuck in that tiny closet for any period of the day is cruel. But because theyve found a way to keep their bunny inside they get praise?
I have a very similar setup to the first one and my rabbits are thriving. They have 60 square feet of secure space, an 8x2ft hutch that's permanently open and access to the entire garden in the day time when we are home. When it rains my rabbits choose to sit in the rain rather than seek shelter. They loved running around in the snow. In the summer they love digging and lying in the soil. They can eat grass all day. They love sitting on their cat tree inside the run watching the birds in the garden.
Sure domestic rabbits are different to wild ones but still enjoy and display a lot of the same things.
Rabbits can be more destructive than your average cat or dog, so not everyone can have them inside.
This isn't me hating, just providing a counter argument.
I wish you knew the full story to why my rabbit is in my closet. He lived in an avery most of his life but for personal reasons I had to bring him inside. I have endless animals in my house so I have to keep him high enough to keep them out. I fo have doors and such. Obviously not full wooden doors, but he has a massive deck to ho on whne I’m home. It’s not the best cage ever but it’s what keeps him safe. Everyone is bashing on my rabbit enclosure which is understandable since everyone is passionate.
I had one male rabbit for eight years and now have two sisters and the first bunny loved to be able to come and chill inside when ever we had time to take him inside. He learned where to go to get treats, how to tell us when he was thirsty and when he wanted to sit on the sofa with us. He lived outside in a old playhouse me and my sisster used to sleep in during the summers when we were younger. We sometimes even slept thee people inside of there before we rebuilt it to a bunny house. My bunny loved to sit up high so we put up a bunch of levels to allow him to look out through the windows. The sissters are a little over one year old. They got our old bunnies house and they love it just as much as our old bunny did and they also got a HUGE outdoor area with grass, a bush and loads of things to play with. They are always happy when they get to go outside and play, however they are really scared of being inside with us. They start to breathe really heavy, and both of them usually goes to lay down in a corner where they kind of feel safe. They never gi outside that one room and we have tried to bring them out to the sofa to let them get used to it but they just hate it. It is also way to hot for them inside so we don't feel comfortable with forcing them to be inside 24/7. It does not have to do with them not getting exposed to being inside when they were small since we tried to let them inside once a day to get to know new textures, sounds and smells from the age of about four months to now.
We are at the moment trying to grow more grass in their big outdoor area so they get to be in a little bit of a smaller cage about 3x5 meters.
They do not have a aesthetic living situation but they love it and both of them are healthy.
i agree with you, I would changed some things to make it look nicer, like planted some safe plants like grass, clovers, and maybe a raised bed with some leafy greens. honestly I would use this for my Quail or small chickens. that is not cheap to make, that at least probably costed about $150
I don't mind people getting critizised. But I really hate how so much seems to be about how it looks, as well as projecting human feelings on bunnies. It's not bad for them if it doesn't look good or looks "bleak". It also doesn't hurt them if it's messy/cluttered and there is a lot of hay everywhere. It just seems unnessesairy since it really doesn't matter for the bunny and she kind of sounds disgusted.
And on the flip side if it does look good it seems to get a lot of praise automatically, even if it's small.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! I used to like her but then I saw videos like this and I give rabbits a home but it’s in a hutch and she’s basically saying you shouldn’t have rabbits if they’re in a hutch.
I had a white rabbit (Idk what breed it was) that lived in my family's backyard all the time & it lived for roughly 10 years.
I currently have a Dutch mix that's also living in the backyard & it gets to run around & munch on grass. I'm definitely a lot more careful of her diet in comparison to my last rabbit & with her regular grooming, her fur is soft & shiny & she's healthy. She's also not afraid to approach people & because I pet her a lot, she would demand more pets from me if I were to stop.
The reason why the rabbits were kept outside was because our landlord doesn't like indoor pets.
@@jimbogue2711 I wasn't talking about keeping rabbits outside, though I don't like the quick judgements she makes I do still think it's almost always far better for rabbits to be kept inside. And hutches are almost always way too small.
Hutches are almost always way too small. And I wasn't talking about keeping rabbits outside in my comment, though I don't like the quick judgements she makes I do still think it's almost always far better for rabbits to be kept inside. Rabbits aren't supposed to smell at all, if they do something is really wrong. If it's from their pee it needs to be cleaned more often. Rabbits are almost never agressive towards humans, it usually only happens if they are really terrified or in pain.
I think maybe she was drunk when she made the video…
I really don't understand how you completely roast one habitat more or less only because it is outdoors, even though it's big, but then raise the indoor closet cage to the skies. I'm not a fan of keeping bunnies outdoors, but that reasoning seems completely illogical to me. Not saying the outdoor enclosure was good, just saying that the closet cage should not be praised like that at all. It's nothing more than a three story cage. Also I agree with some of the others that have commented that aesthetics shouldn't really matter because the bunnies don't care. Sure, it's a plus for the owner but bad aesthetics shouldn't be cause for a bad grade.
Perhaps because it’s exposed to predators,heat, cold, winterstorms and maybe because they don’t spend as much time with the rabbits
@@lunar6935 not every location has those conditions. in NZ rabbits are housed outdoors with mild summers, winters, and a predator-proof hutch. lorelei doesn't seem to take this into consideration when critiquing. and also more than 1 bunny usually, so they have socialization. and those hutches are usually bigger than the closet she praised.
@@cinnamorollbabiesxx predators will do anything to get their prey. stop watching her if you disagree with her opinions .
@@lunar6935 do you understand that every location has different predators (some way less than others) and this is a PREDATOR-PROOF hutch? and do you understand that some EU rabbit rescues won't even let you house bunnies indoors? and do you understand that PLENTY of rabbits have lived outdoors for as long as indoor rabbits, right? not everyone lives in America, so you should really stop taking advice from only 1 person and do actual research before commenting with misinformation. Lorelei should also do her own additional research, as most of the comments are explaining this to her. I can enjoy Lorelei's content while also giving my own critique, but you probably don't understand that either. Lol.
@@lunar6935 That's precisely why the predator-proof enclosures exist! And if you don't agree with comments maybe don't look at them then 😊
Isnt that closet just an inside hutch? There's no other difference to a 3 story hutch except its inside
well kind of i think her reasoning is its safer and its inside thats what shes all about and bc outside they are all alone and its depressing ig.
its weird to see her completely disregard how other countries mainly house bunnies in hutches outside...but she thinks its soooo horrible. it doesn't make sense.
@@cinnamorollbabiesxx It depends on the type of hutch - for example, the first one is perfectly fine to house rabbits in but would need some modifications to make it fully suitable. The one shown at 7:30 (specifically the hutch in the far away corner) would not be suitable whatsoever (however this person is using theirs as a large hideout, which is perfectly fine to do). I just don't get why Lorelei scored these two so poorly yet gave the closet one an A when it's virtually the exact same as the hutch shown in the 5th enclosure, with the only real difference being that it's indoors and has an extra level. It doesn't meet a rabbit's space requirements at all (that being 3 metres length * 2 metres width * 1 metre high). It's frustrating that she automatically gives enclosures a bad rating just because they're outdoors rather than giving people advice on how they can make their outdoor enclosures more suitable 😕
@@For-Fox-Sake agreed, i definitely mean hutches that are like the first one, not like the one used as a hideout!!!! i wish she would take that into consideration, and give helpful advice instead of just criticizing it... especially because it's not uncommon outside of the US. I hate how absolutist/black and white she's being by saying outside = F.
@@cinnamorollbabiesxx I definitely agree with her saying that having rabbits indoors is far better than outdoors - but that's just not an option for everyone. Best you can do in that situation is just make the best out of what you've got to work with - I really don't like how she just said "bring them indoors" and nothing else for the first one, when there was *so* much she could've said to make their situation better. The whole "What part of your brain...?" comment was rude and unnecessary, too. I really hope that Lorelei takes this on board and starts giving out more unbiased advice towards people keeping their bunnies outdoors - I just really don't understand how she scored the closet one so much higher than the two outdoor ones
The only thing I'm confused about is why aesthetics matter? I don't think the bunnies care if everything is brown and cheap, or colourful and pretty.
Also the more natural the life you are providing for your rabbits the "uglier" it will look. Yet a life where they can express their natural behaviours (such as digging/tunnels) is part of their 5 welfare needs.
Domesticated bunnies have no need to dig and most don't
@@ashhunt8794 you've obviously never had a rabbit dig a hole in the carpet 😅
@@ashhunt8794 That's not true at all. Sure there are differences between domestic and wild rabbits but that doesn't just get rid of their natural instincts. Rabbits still need to dig just like they still need to chew, eat constantly and eat their cecotropes inspite of that being traits they evolved because their food had so little easily accesible nutrition. That doesn't just go away because we can now provide with a ton of nutrition and their need to dig doesn't just go away because they don't need to do it to survive anymore.
Exactly! It really bugs me. The pretty enclosures also get really high ratings even if they are flawed. For example 8 where I can't see any water or hides
My bunnys love to dig soooo much!
How is living in a closet better than a big outdoor run?!?!?!?!!
Domesticated bunnies should not live outside. There is a risk of predators sometimes the site of predators can give bunnies a heart attack because of the stress they are also in danger of heat stroke or freezing to death.
@@Olie_Rollie_Polliebest thing is to keep them in a shed that’s insulated and safe
I think it’s bc the bun is indoors and outdoors there could be extreme weathers soo...
i am totally in shock to be honest. How can anyone who supposed to know about rabbit enclosure think that closet is ANYWAY acceptable. Rabbits need length to run not height. That rabbit would not be able to do 3 bunny hops in a row, or even stand up to periscope on its back legs. That outdoor set up was perfect. the rabbits can do all the NATURAL ABILITIES like runny digging foraging. Where could the closet bunny do any of that. Plus rabbits need company. We humans are not a perfect companion for any rabbit.
@@iihoneybea629 idk in the UK we are fine plus my rabbits are rescue rabbits and don’t really like people so shed was the best option
i feel like she rates them more about their aesthetic and how pretty it is
Exactly
no she dose not why do people be so negitive
@@ellaligman7971yes she does 😂
Exacly
I think she rates it on how safe it is,is it okay for the bunny to live in,and do they have enough space.
Honestly, it seems like you only praise the ones that are aesthetically pleasing even if they are too small. Just because the first one isn’t bright in colour and is outdoors, that doesn’t mean it isn’t adequate for the rabbit.
I was thinking the same Thing. The First one wasnt 100% optimal but 10 Times better than the closet. And it bothers me, that so many bunnies have no partner.
@•Mae•Edits• giving a Bunny a Partner is a requirement. Unless the Bunny really cant Bond with an other Bunny. And i agree that bunnies should be Indoors. My point is: if you keep your bunny like the one in the closet, you should give it away. That was so horrible and way worse than the first example. I have bunnies and it would break my heart if they wouldnt have each other, or if they had to live in that tiny closet
@•Mae•Edits• i am so sorry for your bunnies :(
If one Bunny of Mine dies, i will probably get a new pair right away
Bunnies are social animals. And a human could never give 24/7 Attention unlike an other Bunny Buddy could. Its quite obvious and common sense to give a bunny a partner of its kind. And if you have empathy, you should understand
So first of all… if people didn’t want to be criticized then don’t send in your rabbits habitat! She is not trying to be harsh she is just being honest! Sorry if it offends you but no bunnies should not live outside!…. PERIOD! If you don’t have a proper setup for your pet then don’t buy or adopt your pet!
@@larshoffmeister7106 what if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life owning 2 rabbits ?
I love this channel but tbf I kinda disagree with Lorelai's take on the first habitat, I feel like my indoor free roam bunny would probably be just as happy if not happier given a run like that. He loves being outside but I don't have the funds to build a suitable outdoor enclosure so i can only let him run around supervised on our decking which makes him so so happy, but i wish he had unlimited safe access to the sunshine and breeze he so loves. Frankly I think he'd be happier if he could carry out his normal bunny behaviours like digging proper tunnel systems and things like those bunnies can do. Sure it looks 'bleak' by human standards but bunnies don't care about how aesthetic or pretty or cosy something looks, they'd rather just have the freedom to chew and dig and binky and sunbathe like these bunnies clearly do.
Just a word about bunnies outside where they can dig: dirt can contain parasites like tapeworms. Even a bunny outside with a harness is in danger from hawks, at least in my neighborhood. My daughter lost her ChiWeenie Dog to a hawk. The harness will keep the hawk from carrying your pet off but the damage inflicted on your pet and the absolute terror of the attack may be deadly. We learned the hard way so many times that “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” is never more true than when you are trying to give love and happiness to your anipals. I hope you find a solution that makes you and your bun happy and safe. 🤞
The first habitat doesn’t seem THAT bad (though I do question if it’s warm enough for the rabbits to survive through winter and if they even have a water source or any toys at all) I totally agree that rabbits can be kept outside but I would usually recommend a well insulated shed as their main habitat to keep them away from predators and parasites.
You could put a kiddie pool inside with sand for digging just a thought
Aesthetic my rabbit literally makes messes lol, she don't care for pretty
@@TheBlackdiamond88 sand isn't safe for rabbits
Your telling me a bunny can live in a closet but not in a big pen outside which was even bigger even if there not staying there all the time their still in a closet
The first one was the best set up. It is the only one that allows the rabbits to express their most natural behaviors aka digging. And allows the rabbits to experience life as a actual rabbit. The owner went above and beyond to secure their enclosure and you 💩 all over that effort and care. Also the rabbits are not scared little girls on Halloween they do not view the world the way humans do and don’t need their environment to be pretty.
Right. Exposure to natural climate is even a good thing. Bunnies are not dolls. I wonder why she barely criticise bunnies beeing kept alone instead of kept at least with a partner. A human friend is just a poor substitute.
Exactly, she was sooooo unnecessarily hard on that bunny owner.
You express yourself very well! Well written, but I don't agree. Lorelei's position is that pet rabbits are like dogs and cats and are happiest with alot of companionship with their human. No, she isn't going to be fine with rabbits who have very little human companionship!
@lazy homebody You need to fucking stop defending her on every damn comment on this video, if people don't want to free roam their bunnies 24/7 they don't have to! Aslomg as they get enough space to run around ans interact! That's it end of story
Honestly that first one blew me away I wish I would had been able to do that for by bunny !!!! Heaven
I think something you’re not taking in to consideration is the bunny’s happiness. While yes the majority of rabbits are happier living inside that doesn’t include all of them. My bunny lived inside for the first 6 months of her life and she was miserable even though she’d never been outside before. It didn’t matter how much space I gave her, how many toys I bought her, how much time I spent with her, she was completely shut down and just depressed. I took her outside and supervised her while she was out and I noticed a big difference in her personality. She was so much happier and was enjoying life for the first time. After living outside for a little while I tried bringing her back inside. It was like a took her joy away…. Now she’s outside in a big pen where she can dig holes and be a rabbit. She still has to come in when it’s too hot or too cold or if the weather is bad or just to play on my bed.
Different bunnies have different personalities and you just have to except that. Yes, I do believe most buns would rather live inside but some are just miserable in. Yes, they may live longer but the question is are they happy. Not are you happy
I notice this in my bunnies too. I had to keep them completely outside first but was eventually able to make my inside accessible to them. Thing is, they didn't want to come inside. When I brought them in they just sat there being sad. Outside they run and play and relax.
I'm the owner with the plastic cover on the sofa and I have to say I'm kind of disappointed. I explained very clearly why I have that on there and that I have a blanket on top and she still roasted me for it. My bunnies will NOT stop peeing on the sofa no matter what I do. If I just put a blanket on the sofa, the pee would soak through and ruin my sofa. Also the whole point of my habitat is I have special needed buns, one has very severe epilepsy and I wrote this in my email and she completely glossed over it.
Also hate how every bunny NEEDS to live inside and be free roam, not everyone has that option. My buns are free roam in this room only. I've tried free roaming and they literally find new things to destroy, my carpets, peeing on my bed. I do let them out, my girl likes to have a wander upstairs, but shes supervised the entire time. Also there are some great outdoor habitats out there that are safe and buns are very happy with them.
Also the destroyed super dry bag was my bfs, and it was not in their room, it was in the hallway, when I drove my bf to work, my girl stuck her head through the baby gate enough to grab the bag and destroy it. Sure it was our fault for leaving it so close but rabbits cannot be trusted, they will find new things to destroy and you cannot predict what they will destroy next. Not everyone has the option to hide all our belongings away. I'm not going to go round my 3 bed house and tape every skirting board and piece of furniture so they can free roam. Also cable protectors don't work either, I had a cable protector on a very high voltage cable, my girl CHEWED through the cable protector and started chewing through the cable. I stopped her in time before she killed herself but some buns are just so destructive, giving them a space where they cannot reach any of that is the best option and letting them free roam when you're at home is a great alternative. That's what I used to do before I moved, they had a very large pen and I would let them out when I was at home, so they got at least 5-8 hours of free roam, I shut them away when I went to bed because I CANT trust them. The only reason I give them a whole room now is because my girl is very sassy and doesn't like to be locked away, she would bite at the gate every day, shaking it. Even with the baby gate she still shakes it, so I have learned she doesn't like to be enclosed.
really??? this is so disappointing... she seemed to be kinda rude/off in this video lol... acting as though her watchers don't understand how to "bunny proof". not everyone can free roam their pets 24/7 - even cats and dogs. i hope she responds to this bc that is just horrible.
@@cinnamorollbabiesxx yeah tbh I'm kind of put off watching her anymore, like freeroam is not possible for everyone but there are other ways you can house rabbits in a safe enclosure. I personally don't trust my rabbits to give them the whole house, I need to know where they are all the time in case my girl has a seizure I need to make sure she is safe. But all this info was missed, literally felt like she looked at my habitat and said "cool story bro"
I'm assuming your buns are the ones at 14:20? Have you thought about using some kind or waterproof fabric (i.e. outdoor canvas fabric), or maybe even using fleece liners like people use for guinea pigs? I'd be a little worried about your buns potentially chewing the plastic with it being so thin so these could be something to look into :)
@@cinnamorollbabiesxx She won't care! Lorelei's mission is to make every rabbit free roam. If you "can't" free roam your rabbit, then don't get a rabbit!
@@lazyhomebody1356 These people do free-roam their rabbits, simply under supervision. It's not 24/7, just like many other pets.Think please. Not everyone can dedicate a sole room to a bunny, and many live with others who cannot ensure the rabbit's safety for 24/7 free-roam. I hope you and Lorelei take a step back and read the room to realize how classist and elitist that is, as many other commentors are pointing out. I also disagree with her sympathizing this video for the rabbits because she's rating based off aesthetics in this video by rating cute areas without food or water bowls seen higher than a slightly messy room with all things needed. And being rude on top of that.
The first one definitely didn’t deserve a D. Those type of enclosures are safe and recommended by rabbit charities and rescues in the uk.

@@Mae_Editsyou type like someone who drinks their rabbits pee. Try to get some phycological help.
@@Whalonewsno, rabbits are happier outside not inside
@@MaximumCutenesss no their not 😂😂😂 do your research
I appreciate this channel, but i feel like Lorelei hasn’t seen enough in rescue to appreciate some of these cages. If they’re off wire and have room to run, aren’t getting eaten and have hay and water and shelter and a few toys, that’s fantastic. Most people can’t have inside rabbits, so that’s just unrealistic to expect.
Many people can't keep a rabbit indoors, personally if you have to have them outdoors I don't recommend getting a rabbit. Even if they arent getting eaten and have plenty of food, ect there are still so many risks.
Obviously some people don’t have siblings or children that make messes.
Then dont get a rabbit 😂 free roaming is better, and the rabbit is much happier when free roamed😂 i think the blessings of a free roaming bunny outweighs the burdens
@@Whalonews People like you, Am I Right. 🤣
@•ℳ𝒶ℯ•ℰ𝒹𝒾𝓉𝓈• Like I am all for free roaming Bunnies, But apparently you don’t have parents that are against it. My dude you obviously don’t understand other’s situations. And I got a Bunny bc I wanted it, you can’t always tell ppl they shouldn’t get a bunny just bc they can’t free roam it. Messed up XD
The first enclosure is perfect! You only don’t like it as it’s not indoors, not everyone can have them indoors, it’s fully enclosed so it IS safe, they aren’t locked into a tiny hutch, so be grateful for that, living outside in a big aviary isn’t the equivalent of living in a haunted house, OUTSIDE RABBITS ARENT NEGLECTED RABBITS
Again, it’s not super safe. There is always a risk with outside and inside is better
If you have a domestic rabbit being outside can rise their anxiety
*Mosquitos have left the chat*
@@seajay632 because I have a dog an no seperate room for the rabbits ❤️
Not everyone needs to get a bunny.. sorry but if you can't keep them inside then you dont need to get one. If you get a bunny just to keep them outside knowing its not good, its honestly just selfish on the humans part. Im not going to make excuses for bad conditions because of a selfish decision.
Aren’t farm animals our family too? I love farm animals.
same
Exactly. Just because it's a farm animal doesn't mean you don't love and care for them. Try telling a horse lover that they don't love their animal because they keep it in a stable instead of in the family home...
Rabbits aren’t farm animals…
you can't love them if you slaughter them. Horses shouldn't be ridden as well@@whatchaseehoppy
@@growingwithshaunnothing is wrong with riding a horse as long as you do it right
I never feel the need to comment on CZcams videos but here we go…
Lorelei you’re starting to seem like you actually haven’t done the research here. A rabbits natural temperature is much lower than a humans, them living outside (in a safe enclosure of course) is often better for them !!! (for as long as it isn’t extreme weather). My rabbits have an indoor space currently with an outdoor run, but my rabbits are so much happier outside, they binky so much more in the garden than they do in the house!
It’s a shame, I used to adore your channel, you taught me about litter training, but you’ve become so judgmental and are starting to sound like you don’t actually understand rabbits properly in some cases.
I can see I’m not the only one correcting you on the fact the outside enclosures with lots of space are actually great so hopefully you’ll read, and learn.
i defintitley agree
Yes I totally agree, I rescued two bunnys with the plan to take them indoors and it was a total mess, there where too long outside to geht the idea what a litter box is and after moths of trying I build them an outside habbitat. Now my house is no loner an complety mess and also my two buns seem too enjoy that way more.
Totally agree
YES I agree so much. I have rabbits and they hate the house they love outside and each of them get to run around the yard a few hours a day. She is being kinda rude to us because she asks what brain cell isn’t working and all that😮 and for the first one rabbits can stink and spray so I don’t think some of us want rabbits on our bed.
It’s true there so much happier outside
I think the outside enclosure isnt bad at all!! Bunnys still love to dig and not everybody or everybunny want to be treating/treared like a human/dog. It doesn't have to be petty to be good! Bunny dont care about aesthetics!
Outdoor enclosures come with many risks such as, raccoons or birds trying to get to them, or they find a way to get out, maybe plants growing are toxic, and what if the weather is harsh. Now, a opinion is a opinion but keeping your rabbits indoors expands their life span, and their health, you can fight with a opinion but you cant fights facts. Rabbits/bunnies have been bred to the point where they are much safer indoors, this happened overtime. Rabbits are generally happier, healthier, and safer indoors. A rabbit could die at the sight of a dog, what if a wild animal is trying to get to them. Another reason to keep them inside is that while being outside they feel the need to fight for their life, meaning you will have an aggressive bunny. Generally I recommend keeping your rabbits indoors.
@@KendalB673 that’s why we make sure predators can’t get in, and rabbits live outside anyways -?
@@sage2189
So? Cats before being domesticated live outside, but it’s better for them to be indoors. Plus even seeing a predator can give them a heart attack.
I’m pretty sure you can keep a bunny indoor without being treated like a dog or human.
Why is nobody bringing up fleas, ticks, mites and the diseases that those carry and the fact that you cannot use flea medicine on a bunny because it’s toxic to the bunny. That’s the biggest issue and I think it’s overlooked too much.
Im sorry but the view of only “indoor free roam rabbit” is a little extremist.
A predator proof outdoor enclosure is amazing for rabbits being that enrichment and healthcare are still provided. No everyone has rabbits to have a lap pet. Not everyone can house a rabbit indoor. And no the solution isn’t “then don’t own a rabbit”.
It’s predator proof, has ample space, the rabbit isn’t alone, it has multiple shelter, freedom to dig(which is a natural rabbit behavior). The only concern I have is lack of enrichment. I’d anyone thinking of doing the same is reading this, please provide more enrichment. Things to chew, different types of grasses and flowers in occasion, different things to climb onto. It can be colorful for the human, but generally speaking a rabbit doesn’t care if it look like a haunted house or a Pinterest sorority board.
How stupid would I look as a dog trainer if the only advice I could offer to clients was “you shouldn’t own a dog”.
The first habitat is actually really cool. Bunnies, even if they’re not wild rabbits, still need to dig, make tunnels, see other rabbits. And they don’t care about aesthetics . I think that is better to have two or more bunnies mainly living outside, doing their thing like they are supposed to, in a safe place obviously, than one lonely rabbit living indoors like a fancy plush toy for humans.
Are you rating these hutches for you or for the bunnies?
For her content what else
Exactly my thought ….. I don’t understand this video
What do you mean? I’ve been watching her other videos but it’s still not making sense to me
Exactly in my opinion the hutch was the best habitat
@Mae_Edits it does rabbit deserve to be outside and getting murdered by dogs and other animals
OMG THE CLOSET IS BETTER THAN the first one?!!!!!! Im sweating. they tried I get it but OMG thats heartbreaking. Is it dark in there all day for poor charlie? Here a dark closet vs a very large pen with scents and sounds and tunnelling......Lorelei: I'll put Lennon in a dark closet thanks-bc its indoors and looks better.
Indoors is no life for a rabbit
I wish you knew the full story behind Charlie’s enclosure. He lived in a massive predator proof avery outside most of his life but for personal reasons I had to bring him inside, he has chicken wire like doors with wooden frames so he doesn’t fall and it’s the only way to kee him safe from my dogs. He is right next to my window to the deck he can go on any time. It was just night time when I took the photo… if you have any further concerns please express them so I can answer what I can if you are concerned for my lil bun
Hey good to know. Thanks. Maybe you should update that because it didn't look good and perhaps she didn't show how nice it looked....but based on what was shown it didn't look good- I can only comment on what I know. @@charlie_the_bunny9704

Facts
IKR JUST THE GOOD AND BIG HOMES
Honestly if it's a safe area where no predators can get to with every precocioun taken so predators can't get to them bunnies typically love being outside, mine does.
Yeah, we have two. One likes the indoor life the other is always desperate to be outside...
I completely agree. That outside enclosure is completely safe and rabbit friendly.
I think u where too harsh on the frist one, The owner seemed to put very much time and effort into making that bunny cage so safe and natural as possible,, u said that bunnies don't need to build tunnels in the ground to be happy but neither does it need to be esthetic.. I feel like u judges the "cages" more by their looks than what the bunny would feel about it.. Digging is a way that domestic rabbits play, and it's also a way for them to blow off steam when they are bored and frustrated. It's not a behavior that can be trained out of a rabbit. Instead it's important to give pet rabbits ways that they can use this natural behavior without destroying areas of your house. And i can't believe u where acting so positive with the closet cage, but the second u see a cage that is not aesthetic or indoors u give them worse, I'd also like to mention that u never specified WHY the first cage was unsafe..?
#7. You automatically go for an A+ because the bunny has its “own room” but where was the hay? The litter box? The food? You said nothing else on that. Do some studying before posting your videos, ESPECIALLY ON THE SALT ROCKS!! NOOOO!!! Some of these grades can be a bit more reasonable but I get it, it’s her opinion!! 😂 Her opinions are NOT the ONLY way rabbits should be raised. As long as they’re happy and healthy and your loving your bun, it’s OK!! 🥰
Hi! I’m the owner of #7. There are a few things I disagree with what she did, but in the email I mentioned the hay litter box and food. I do wish she read it also so everyone also knew. The litter box in the corner and has hay. The one thing I am annoyed about, is that in the email I mentioned that this is actually the room of my rabbit who had passed away. I said I am planning on getting two more rabbits in about 6 months, but I felt as though she didint even take a glance at the email.
@@sweetlittlelottie8970 This is why I won’t send her an email of my enclosure, she does this for her own content.

@@sweetlittlelottie8970 wow why did She not read it or if She did why not menshon it
I did notice that the college student with the two rabbits free roaming her dorm room has a salt block. I wish Lorelei saw that and was able to mention in the video for them to take it down as rabbit’s absolutely should not have salt blocks
I noticed that too! Same with number 18 🫠
I'm just curious, but why can rabbits not have salt blocks?
@@kierstyntillotson9764 You don't want to add excess sodium to their diet. They should be getting all they need from primarily hay, with leafy greens and pellets in appropriate quantities. Salt licks are like you eating a bag of chips. They're just gimmicks from pet stores to make people buy "healthy supplements" that are actually harmful.
@Kierstyn Tillotson I think cause it is salt and not healthy for rabbits like its not for many other animals I guess.
I have to say I've turned away from lennon the bunny all together. Not everyone can afford sofas for there rabbit or fairy lights to go around it or aesthetic rugs that's match. Some of those habitats you marked down were perfect just not "aesthetically pleasing" let me tell you this, bunnies don't care about that. Once bunnies are clean, have space, love, food their happy
Hey Lorelei. I was the person with the 3 story wardrobe. The reason I have a second bed and litter box Is because I had a second rabbit in there. She recently passed away and I didn’t want to get rid of her things
I’m sorry for your lose
Poor you, I know how it feels :( last spring one of my bunnies passed away. I still have her harness, favorite toy and som fur left :/
So sorry for your loss, I absolutely love your habitat it is amazing
I am so sorry for your loss, amazing job finding a way to make it work by the way, also, your bunny is so cute!!!
My bunny uses my whole studio apartment. His litter box is actually an a-frame cage with an open door at all times. He is 9 years old and has no interest in toys unless they are the kind he can chew on like the willow balls. I made hiding places and tunnels by making an ally between the furniture and the wall. He has about 9 places to sleep undisturbed. He is very sociable and comes out to see who is here when I have company. He is never locked in the cage but is attached to it so I put his hay in there and he uses it for his bathroom. He likes to lay in there also. I clean it daily so never is dirty or smelly. We are together all the time as I am retired and disabled. I cannot have two bunnies here so that is why he does not have a companion. Quite frankly, I doubt I could care for two. I got him by accident. Your videos have helped me learn about how to care for him over the years. Thank you for that!
The fist one is actually really nice! It’s safe and large and is probably very fun for the rabbits to play in. I would give it an A
Same! They did excellent with the concrete slabs and the opportunity for digging tunnels. Only thing I would add is more shade, maybe a couple of large bushes on the south side of it.
@@whatchaseehoppy yes more shade is always good for bunnies
Same
7:55 A lot of people will use their old hutches as large hideouts for their rabbits - for example, the rabbits and guinea pigs at my college used to all live in these sorts of hutches and when they *finally* got a massive upgrade (they're all in very large pens now), we decided to leave the hutches in their enclosures as extra large hideouts. It's worked out really well for all of them. Although I personally would never go out and buy a hutch purely so that it can be used as a hideout since there's better options out there, it's a great way to recycle a hutch that you've already bought so that it doesn't go to waste
Yup, it is my rabbitat and that is what it is! That were his permanent home for a long time and he have all his smells in there❤
So true. Our bunnies's original hutch survives to this day as part of their habitat. It's open 24/7 and they love taking their naps in it.
i couldn’t watch all of this. i used to be subscribed to this channel but then i realised, if someone has a rabbit than isn’t indoors & freeroamed, you’re really awful about it and totally brings them down😢
not everyone is able to have rabbits indoors, my rabbits actually hate it inside and love being outside, on the grass, in the sun & sun bathing 🌞
my french lop has a huge custom built outdoor shed with carpet floors, blankets, loads of levels and she loves it so much. we’re in a part of the UK where we don’t have foxes around or birds of prey, never seen one here in my 22 years of living🙈
i love rabbit channels but this one just upsets me & makes me feel like a crap rabbit mum. outdoor rabbits can be extremely happy and healthy if you do it right💔❤️🩹
@LennonTheBunny You stated a rabbit does not need to dig to be happy. But when getting a pet it’s important to consider the nature of that individual species. It would be cruel to get a dog and never allow it to go on walks or go outside to run and play because that’s what dogs do. It would be cruel to get a cat and never allow it to climb or scratch or chase small things that move, because that’s what cats do. So why is it OK to deny a rabbit the opportunity to dig when that’s what rabbits do?
THIS!!!
I completely agree with your comment, but you have your bunnies on wire mesh
@@afairyist9981 yes I do, it is the most sanitary, eco friendly, and secure way for me to keep my rabbits. They do have a play yard though, where they can run around eat grass, dig, what ever they want, when supervised. Mine are also not exactly pets but I do take their care and happiness seriously.
My rabbit loves digging in the garden, imagine saying the opposite...
I an a person who has two rabbits, who are completely free roamed indoors, and I’ve raised one of them since a baby I cannot truly agree with the first take you had for the first enclosure that was shown in the video & in the thumbnail it just doesn’t feel right on how you like rated them not every person owns a rabbit for pets and things like that but even if they do, we don’t know their house situation. We don’t know if you know maybe they live in something that is way too small. We don’t know if you know their parents don’t allow them in the household or something we just don’t know the 100% specifics but I feel like them making an underground tunnel so the bunnies do not get hurt & to try to keep them safe as best as possible and the bunnies in the pictures at least don’t look malnourished Or anything it just feels like a little bit of a biased take because I know you frequently sure talk about how you cuddle with Lennon on the couch and things like that or your bed and not everybody likes to do that or the bunnies would even like that circumstance of being cuddled on the couch or something like that every rabbit is different and I’m pretty sure you know that. this isnt supposed to be a attack anything. I would never do that to you. You’ve been one of the biggest rabbit lovers, I’ve watched in which made me want to get bunnies myself but I just feel like that was in my heart but people can give me their other opinions that’s fine I won’t fight nobody on it because it’s an opinion not affect, so yeah, feel free for everyone to give me their opinions. I’m going to be civil, so long as you’re going to be civil.
And one other thing I’d like to add is that not every single person wants to make the rabbit rooms look aesthetic or have fairy lights and things like that my rabbits live very good they’re very healthy. They do Binkies constantly, and I’ll spoil them as much as I can, but they don’t really have an aesthetic because by the end of the day, I see more of well fit life and stuff like that, and having happiness, etc. like because not every person does that with their bunny some people love to ultra decorate, which I don’t , I’m very simple as much as I can as long as it can fit into my budget.
( sorry if any grammar mistakes I wrote this in text-to speech)
This video was honestly my last straw w this Chanel, how is it better to live in a closet than an inclosed outside area, if the bunny is scared they’ll literally just run into their burrows, and you don’t even know if they were rescued from the wild while injured or something
In Norway it is very common to house free roam rabbits outside in predator safe inclosures with a heated house at winter. And a bunny friend too naturally.
Yes, i think it is pretty normal in all of Europe.
I have seen multiple rescues here in Austria that even refuse to adopt out their bunnies to in door housing.
I'm a volunteer at the biggest rescue in Norway and we have some rabbits that will be refused indoor housing too. One pair have a lot of allergies and the vet could never quite figure it out but they do a lot better outside. And some of the other pairs or groups have "behavior issues" like refusing to use litter boxes or beeing very destructive (eating the walls, furniture, floors and so on). 😊
Listen just because she says this and that is wrong doesn't mean she is right okay, if your rabbit is happy that is what counts
@@xReaghan Has it occurred to you that maybe your rabbit seems happy outside because he is happy to see YOU? Maybe he's bored and lonely when you can't see him!
@lazy homebody Oh he is perfectly fine and besides he's not alone I have a cat which he loves to be with so, keep your opinion to yourself
Our bunny free roams every evening and has free roam of our sons room with an x-pen “home-base”. It’s not that we don’t trust him with chewing and such, but our dear sweet little bun bullies our cats and we worry they will accidentally injure him. One did scratch his eye in the past and he had to go to the get drops for a few weeks. You’d think he’d learn his lesson, but he hasn’t.
17:20 don't wanna be rude but you were way too harsh on that, you don't know if there babies or not, maybe give advice as well, instead of just saying f then not saying anything helpful, ngl thought that was the whole point of the video. and also to help beginners learn not to make mistakes like this it would help if you actually educate.

The toilet is a litterbox and for the hutch, he have been living in it for almost his whole life and I don't see why I should throw it away, he loves hiding under it. And it is his home and he likes to move things around, therefore the mess. I feel like u were a bit harsh because I have made so much to make him have a better life. I can handle critique but in this case I didn't understand what was wrong. Nothing against you but I felt like I had to explain myself❤
He also likes to sit on the storage bins❤
Your set up looks fine- It is large, it has a double layer enclosed space he can go in if he wants a quite space, there is space to move around, food, water, hay etc. Is it a shed in the yard or a room in the house? Does he have access to the yard?
@@kn397 My dad built the shed just for my rabbit❤️ I have a pen for him when he is outside, me and my dad have been planning on expanding the shed with a safe outside place he can be in during the days. He really loves digging and flopping on the cold dirt in the sun haha❤️
Your setup looks completely fine, I feel like she didn't like it that much because it's not aesthetically pleasing to her 😑
@@phinegames7498 Sounds like he has a great life! Your set up is impressive. I think this channel just promotes indoor living for rabbits but it is not always possible. I had a similar set up to you for mine, a large outdoor enclosure with the 'hutch in a hutch' system and she loved it.
i love your videos, lorelei, but was VERY disappointed with this one. a lot of your comments seem lowkey classist?? a bunny will make a mess of their room, and you give way too much praise to the ones that are clearly staged lol... as another commentor mentioned, those areas had no food or water, but was praised a lot. ok?? and i also don't like how you're starting to look down on people who can't free roam 24/7.... yes, it's the BEST situation, but there are people who cant even free roam their cats and dogs 24/7. it's not just about "bunny proofing", and you came off kind of rude. your watchers aren't stupid. and what about you criticizing the couch with plastic when apparently they explained their situation in your email?
4:04 thank you so much Lorelei for your advice ! I was feeling like my bunny set up wasn’t good enough for Pebbles but now I know it’s good ! I’ll remove the door of the litter box !
Let's face it you're probably the first in the world to bring their bunny on a airplane ride with the window seat and Lennon loved it .
I have a beautiful outside enclosure for some of my rabbits. I clean it each day and put music on while I visit with them. They live better than many people. Lots of nutritious greens, hay and some pellets and treats. The enclosure is heated in winter and has air conditioning in summer. They are all neutered and spayed. I trim their nails and brush them every week or two. They are my sweet bunnies that I wish could live in the home but can't. I see them from my windows in the house as they have 5 large windows as well as sliding door. The place is decorated with beautiful trees and birds. It would be livable for a person it is so nice. All sheetrocked, painted a lonely blue color on walls and ceiling has clouds on white. It has a glow in the dark moon with stars also. Yes, we all can't have our wonderful bunnies inside. They are 6 lucky sweethearts❤😊
It's important to add a rug/carpet to provide soft surface so the rabbit doesn't develop Sore Hawks. Look for a material that is save for ingesting. The traction will help the rabbit not pull a muscle or something while running around :D hope that helpsss
This first one isn’t my enclosure, but it just made me soo mad how she was like “why wouldn’t you want to cuddle your bunny inside?!” She is like forcing people to have their bunnies live inside and a lot of the stuff she does for her bunnies is wrong also, so many other tiktokers, CZcamsrs, etc has called her out on her improper care and she is recommending the bad stuff to new subscribers, there is NOTHING wrong with bunnies living outside as long as where they are is safe! “It’s bleak” it’s not all about the aesthetics! Is the rabbit going to be judging the aesthetics? And the rabbits are able to dig and you’re acting as if it’s bad for rabbits to dig, it’s apart of their nature! They’re rabbits, they would want to dig, My rabbits live outside and have a good house and dig all the time! It’s just like how a beta fish wants to be in water, wild fish do too! And I don’t understand WHY the aesthetic is apart of the grade!? As long as the rabbits are safe and healthy it should be rated good because the aesthetics don’t matter, it’s the rabbit.
I mean I'd want to keep my bunnies inside and around my family. 🤷♀️
you complain about the first participant “looking for validation” when their enclosure is AMAZING and you’re just looking for something to nitpick. they’ve very obviously put much thought into it. an enclosure being bleak doesn’t have anything to do with the care they give their pets. aesthetics are not conducive with proper pet care. the diet looks fine, there are parts of vegetable that we don’t prefer to eat but are perfectly fine for our pets! saying you would be scared to live in there doesn’t mean it’s an improper enclosure. stop personifying rabbits, they’re still animals. while domestic and wild rabbits are completely different sub species, they still have similar instincts. participating in natural behaviors like digging is wonderful for them. you’re doing too much, really.
about the first one: having bunnys in a predateur proof zone outside with space for them is way better (in my opinion) then having them inside. and when you said they are not wild so they "dont need tunnels to make them happy" its not to make them happy it makes them feel safe and provides comfort. and wild or not, an animals an animal they still do what they would naturally do in the wild. even if they have never been wild.
@•ℳ𝒶ℯ•ℰ𝒹𝒾𝓉𝓈• Are you dumb?
Rabbits are prey animals, did you forget that?
Their natural instinct is to dig and go into tunnels for safety, and being domestic hasn't changed that
Yes your totally right
@•ℳ𝒶ℯ•ℰ𝒹𝒾𝓉𝓈• Why shouldn't they dig tunnels? My bunnies love to dig when they have outside playtime. Not all rabbits have a strong desire for it, but it's great for them to have the option.
MY WEEKLY DOPAMINE HIT ❤❤
I find it funny in a way as in this vid there is both a Misty and a Milo, my deceased buns are/were called Misty and Milo so I find it a crazy coincidink
some of these setups are the kind of setups I'd do for rabbits if I won the lottery, just an all out bunny room, dedicated to giving bunnies the best life possible, alongside freeroaming in the house.

Actually the hutch from the first clip is completely fine smh
You accidentally missed the water bottle in the last submission!People please don’t use water bottles for rabbits!! Water bowls only 🙏🏼
Outdoor bunnies are perfectly fine! Just make sure to feed them the right food!
Not everyone can afford specialty food all the time for their rabbits
I get less expensive food and my rabbits are fine, I’m not going to get a tiny bag of rabbit food for 14$ when i can get a giant 25lb bag for 14$
Not to poo poo on the channel etc but I feel like you have so much bias to aesthetically pleasing bunny homes instead of what the rabbits actually, like, those rabbits outside with so much space for running and digging and playing where things can't get in and they cat get out, that is absolutely awesome and the ONLY reason you don't like it is because it's outside (some places are not dangerous for rabbits to live outside like like where in live in new Zealand, no predators except cats which you can easily edit there space to talor towards that issue and we have very mild winters and summers.) and your so rude towards these peoples amazingly hard efforts. Then you think the rabbit in the cupboard is so so cool when really it doesn't have space to run around or jump much at all... I recon you should re consider what your ethics compared to aesthetically pleasing rabbit homes are, and the way that you project human feelings and emotions towards these rabbits homes like they care about colours or views... And how you sound so grossed out and discussed when there is hay or storage for the bunny's within there living area like rabbits don't make a mess with hay... Again not trying to ruin the vibe of your channel but I recon you should try be more polite and look at the set ups with less of a human eye and more of a bunny point of view
Completely agree with you. I normally like her reactions but this one was very harsh and unjustified kind of. I believed that many were deserving of better comments than what she gave here. Also I hope she sounds a little less judgemental. Bunnies are animals after all and will make a mess.
Totally agree
Literally like why should I vacuum all the time, he is the one who spreads the hay cuz it is his home
I totty agree with you. I was surprised that she didn't put F on all outside. If bunnies are protected then it's okay. If I was owner I would like to have something for it outside and inside
Not everyone can afford a maid, Karen
My rabbit passed yesterday evening and Loreli I just wanted to thank you for all you do. My rabbit was under relatively uneducated living conditions before I started gaining knowledge while watching you. She saw 10 years old almost hitting 11 after being diagnosed with cancer last year. Although I don't have a rabbit to look after for anymore, I'll continue to be a proud supporter of you and Lennon. Keep doing great works❤
Aww 😢 I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for spending your time and resources doing this benevolent deed, and fixing peoples rabbitats, for these amazing rabbits and giving them a better life it makes me so sad to see them confined in these tiny and inadequate living environments but it warms my heart to see there are people who genuinely love their rabbits, and people like you who give your energy to providing these beautiful bunnies with better livelihoods. Rabbits are such incredible creatures and so full of love and loyalty and often don’t receive the love they deserve
The first one is amazing, rabbit's don't need a human with them, just other rabbits
The first one is actually very nice and safe!
Hiiiii 👋 I literally love your vids! I used to not take care of my bunny the right way and now that I watch you I found out sooooo many things that I have done wrong but I changed that and I take great care of my bunny. 😊 Thank you so much! ☺️
To the person of the first habitat: That is an awesome habitat. It’s looking very safe, predators don’t got a chance. And they got so much space 24/7 that is awesome, better than a small indoor habitat with just not All day freeroom. And rabbits don’t need humans as a social contact. If they got a or more friends they are happy. Happier than alone with Humans. So don’t care what she said!!
That closet was an F
Multiple Levels dont actually increase the space. The bunny cant run around and let alone doing binkies
That First Habitat wasnt perfect but 10 times better than the closet
And often the shown habitats are too small, and lots of bunnies have no partner. If you can dedicate your time 24/7 to them, its okay, but most people cant.
Honestly this is your worst video in this series
bunnies don't care about aesthetics lol just because the design isn't pink and frilly doesn't mean its bad
I had to watch it again and yeah.....Lorelai would prob choose fake grass over real grass and thats not my kind of person. "They dont need to build a tunnel underground to b happy" um.....couch or outdoor tunnel? Bye Lennon!
The first one is amazing! 🤩
So much effort to make the perfect, safe outdoor space!
The one in the closet is so sad! No space, no daylight and no dirt or grass under their feet - poor rabbits 🥺
Listen, I don’t mind you having your opinions, you educating people, infact I support you advocating for these small creatures. But the first one looks absolutely fine, though I do question why it doesn’t have more mental stimulation, more hides and so on (though idk if they do since the photos didn’t show anything with their full needs). The first hutch looks like it’s based in the UK, like a predator protected one to keep foxes, badgers, birds and other predatory animals out. Whilst keeping the bunnies in and unable to escape. I feel like you determine on aesthetics and whether or not the rabbits are free roaming inside the home, that habitat functional and safe for the rabbits, the diet looks to be freshly stored in the fridge, the “apple” looks more so part of a lettuce, it could just be me. But you saying that a habitat in a CLOSET with 3 stories is better than a wide, protected outdoor home? I don’t get it. The rabbits look safe, happy and their needs seem to be met, you base these homes on aesthetics and if they’re inside or not, and not actually based on needs.
i have a question: so if i have 3 bunnies but each are very territorial, how do i let bunny safe areas accessible to all of them at the same time? note that i used to have 2 bunnies that were really close with eachother but one day decided to have a huge fight, and since they were really close my family didn’t expect the fight at all. so how can i prevent unexpected fights and make them all peaceful so they can live in the same areas?
Are they spayed or neutered? If they aren't, if you get them (which would be healthier) it done, they might be more friendly with each other, if you already have, maybe put them in 3 different rooms that you are in alot.
Watch the videos about bonding on 101 rabbits channel!!
@Staci that will not help I have 3 buns myself
my suggestion would be to have them in three separate pens if they don't get along and let one out at a time for free roam
This has happened to my bunnies before, and it’s mainly bc they aren’t spayed or neutered. Once u spay or neuter them, in 2 weeks they most probably would stop fighting and u could keep them together
Hi Lorelei, the first cage looks suitable. Its safe and your right, the bunnies dont HAVE to build tunnels but its a smart way to keep cool. I love watching your videos however it really bothers me how you reacted to this cage bc ik that if the tunnels and decore were a bit more stylish and they had fairy lights the cage would be ok. I think that every animal should have proper care but that is the thing for me , in this cage i see proper care, correct me if im wrong please. Im interested/gen, like how is the closet better then the shed??? ,,its messy, mabye you should vacume'' like im sure that they want you rating the set up not how clean it is. the conditions in the shed are ok and yes i think that they could use some toys and tunnels but to judge how clean it is? can someone please informe me?/gen, also yeah the bunny room is cute but is it enriching?
I've been waiting for this it's really good inspiration for people like me who are getting a rabbit to see the different enclosures people have!❤😊
My bunny lives outside and free roams outside every day for 5-6 hours. We put her in her cage at night to make sure she I safe. There’s nothing wrong with keeping your bunny outdoors. You always talk about trust in ur bunny and we have amazing trust in her. She is very well trained and living outside it her home. She has many little areas to sleep safely. She also has a very big big hay bale for her. It’s nicely decorated and has everything she needs. She has nice shade a cover and is very used to outdoors. When we are taking her inside she always wants to go down. My bunny doesn’t like the indoors she loves the outdoors! We had shade and toys. There’s a second floor in her cage a hammock, she also has lights so she is able to see. Ur rating on how aesthetic they are. She is healthy and we even have a fresh veggie garden for her to eat anytime! We are also going to get another bunny so my rabbit feels lots more safe outdoors :) she is 7 months and has spent most of her life outdoors. The only time she was inside was when she was very young! It’s fine to have bunny’s ouside
I see so many Ikea beds and there's no way my bunny would ever use it. I wonder how many really use theirs.
Mine uses it as a step, I don't think he'd ever lie on it though. I just think it's cute and I like sewing and have been planning to sew proper "bedding" for it. I am not sure if that's what it's called, english isn't my first language 😊
I saw one bunny who gets into the bed and pulls the covers over her!
Mine loaf/flop on it together ❤
@@ChildrennSurrenderr Awww that's adorable ❤
So it's on me that my bunnies, if they free roam if I'm away, chew my WALL even if they have wood, carton en paper to chew?!. I'm not going to put plexiglass all over my livingroom so they CAN'T chew the walls and freeroam while I'm away........
She's a little out of touch with reality lol.
I don't have a bunny but I love watching your channel. I also love seeing Lennon. She is a treasure.
Hi, I am the one that submitted the rabbit habitat for number 17. Yes, that is my best friends, rabbits, habitat and she did not submit it because she doesn’t have anything to send it to you on but I do so I just did it for her because she wanted me too. I’m gonna have her watch the video and hopefully she can update her rabbits habitat. And yes they are babies. I also love your videos. 17:20
It’s not actually that bad to keep bunnies outdoors as long as you put them inside at night and they have a safe enclosed space
Actually my rabbit stays outside even at night and I’ve never have a problem
@@MaximumCutenesss cool! Mine stays in a hutch at night, so as long as they are in a safe space it’s just as good as indoors
@@lunacornunicornPlesse don’t let it stay in a hutch those are bad😢
@@ethanchasejackson I literally just explained why it’s fine. Of course it’s not good to use a hutch if you live in cold weather, but I have great weather where I live so it’s fine
Where do I submit photos of my rabitat?
Email, dm ect
Instagram
guys remember she’s not a bunny expert! don’t always take her advice, she didn’t study about rabbits therefore all of these are just her opinions. Nether less to say as long as bunnies are cared for, feed daily and has affection. I don’t see any issues with the bunnies being outdoors. First cage was absolutely perfect!
at least they have a home. periodt
She's been researching rabbit care since she got Lennon...?
I love this so much!!!❤️ These always make me learn so much new things about bunnies 🐰! Love you and Lennon💕💕💕
My 2 babies lived in 2 large ish dog crates diy'd together and my dad wouldn't let me upgrade. I recently got some money and bought an X-pen without saying anything. It should arrive soon 😅 without you my bunnies would be so sad. Thank you lennon and Lorelei❤❤❤
Edit: just so no one gets confused: I'm going to connect the cages and X-pen together. Also I'm 15 if that has anything to do with the other info
13:20 Omg, thank you so much Lorelei! 💞 I was always worried that something was missing, so this is a huge relief 🙃 I'll try to make it less cluttered
Get rid of the salt rock!! Rabbits do t need those and I’m shocked she didn’t catch that.
@@tiffanyritter9468 Bruh chill. Maybe say it like “rabbits don’t need salt rocks, maybe discard that.” No need to boss people.
How did you send it in?
I love the closet bunnies because I too do the same, he has half under my bed and in my closet. utilizing the space with what you have is how I've adapted, at least until I can get my own place and just free-roam him properly instead of the hallway and my room.
Closet bunnies are great partially because I get to tell my friends my Charlie had a closet to himself. They are all uneducated so they think it’s the world best rabbit enclosure ever 😊
This is a great series! I use Native every day I love their unique scents!
OMG I AM YALLS BIGGEST FAN ME AND MY BUNNY NATALIAS LIFE HAS CHANGED BECAUSE OF U AND LENNON ❤️❤️❤️
To save you the pain from watching this whole video: Lorelei is too picky and very judgmental. Not everyone has the ability to keep their rabbits indoors, it greatly bothers me that anytime you see an outdoor cage with the proper care and enrichment for the rabbits to lead a happy life, you immediately shoot it down simply because it’s outdoors. Yet any indoor cage is like a godsend from Heaven even if that cage doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for the rabbits. I’ve always wanted rabbits since I was a child, any point in my life if I did get one, they would’ve had to live outdoors due to other pets and people with allergies. That doesn’t mean I’m neglecting them, if I give them all the proper care and attention while they’re living outside, I’d be able to sleep at night because I know my rabbits would be well taken care of and loved without worrying about inconveniencing others in my home. If I sent in my setup, you’d immediately fail it due to it simply being outdoors. Now, I’m not saying there aren’t bad outdoor setups, there’s plenty of those, however, you only harshly criticize the good ones. That’s the problem I have. You rely too much on aesthetics (which mind you, rabbits don’t care about) and location when scoring, rather than using the actual things included by the owner to meet the rabbit’s needs to critique the cage setup. The other problem I have, you asking viewers who send in their outdoor setups, “why can’t you just bring the rabbits inside?” Girl, you don’t know what your viewers are going through, you don’t know their financial situations, their living situations, it’s inappropriate of you to ask people that question when you have no idea. They sent in their cages for you to critique them, not for you to judge the opportunities in life they may or may not have had access to with their pets that you have had with yours. Do better.
Honestly, I agree. I used to agree with Lorelei and just shut down every outdoor rabbit cage I saw, but I did some deeper digging and thinking and realized that if you take the proper precautions and still give them the best care, they can live amazing lives outside! ☺️👍
When I was a kid my dad told me he had a pet rabbit as a kid. He grew up on a farm in Minnesota so his dad built the rabbit an outdoor hutch. Needless to say the rabbit was super territorial of its hutch and due to the severely brutal winters in Minnesota, it froze over one winter. This was in the 1950’s and 1960’s. That was bunny care at the time.
Ever since then, I really wanted to somehow spiritually give his poor pet bunny some justice by properly caring for a bunny of my own. Maybe I’d somehow give back karma where karma is due.
My bunnies have the whole living room for themselves, occasionally even the balcony if the weather is nice. Outside and inside are big dirtboxes with grass growing in them
Your comments about the outdoor enclosure aren’t nice, I thought your page was about giving tips, not tearing owners feelings apart and making them feel bad. My rabbits live outside because I live with my parents and have no room inside, if I did, I 1000% would. Mine have a big outdoor enclosure like the first one. Lots of space, lots to binky and lots of enrichment. Some people don’t have a full on bedroom for their rabbit babies, it’s simple.
Love watching these reaction videos and seeing how much you care about bunnies, ensuring others know how they should be cared for. On that note, I think it's important to acknowledge the risks that exist in spaying/neutering, especially if you insist that desexing is a good idea, with your platform and influence. Whilst it may fix litter training problems (depends on the rabbit), people should be aware of the possibility that their bunny may not survive the surgery. Love your work, though.
Rabbits don’t care how “nice” their enclose is. It may look pleasing to our eye but the rabbits don’t care
I just got a another rabbit a couple of weeks ago but when I got my first one (his sister) I was addicted to your channel
P.S he is sitting on me purring right now he is still at that cute baby Faze when they will just sit with you forever and are so tiny they fit in your hand🐰🐰 and happy spring break all people still in school
Sorry I meant phase not faze
make sure to get the male castrated if you haven't already
Lorelei, you are unnecessarily so hard on this first bunny owner, while they did the absolute best to create an actual natural habitat. It's like you think that bunnies don't like to be outside and do actual rabbit things like playing with sand, lol. They're not human and they are probably living their best (unaesthetic) life. Also, you can still have a bond with rabbits that live outside if you make enough time for it. You don't even gave a compliment on the safety of the habitat..
Nah I agree with Lorelei here 100%
I agree. I honestly think that first one is a gorgeous setup and those bunnies have a great life. Rabbits CAN live outside and they CAN thrive that way.
@@charliellewellynshepperson5032 How is this a bad habitat?
She is just overreacting like she always does nothing new, it looks fine not everyone has the money and space to give a whole fucking appartement or room to a bunny, aslong as they are giving the space to run around and have their own space or whatever it's fine
You sound like one of those crazy Peta people who think all animals should be wild. Lorelei's mission is to bring rabbits indoors, and to have them respected and treated as well as cats and dogs.
Belive it or not but bunnys Like beeing outside. They need it. They Love fresh gras under their paws, sleep in the sun and feel the Wind when it's a cold day. Actually many Bunnys even love to play in snow. Mine love to sit in the rain they refuse to come inside until Summertime when it geht's to hot. And yeah they need to dig a hol in the ground to be Happy and some bushed to chew >.> ITS a BUNNY
I absolutely love these videos and learning even more thank you so much Lorelei and once again your hair is on point girl❤
I love your videos!Thank you for all of the help with my bunnies!!
