@@imive. I need advice on a rabbit
How do I introduce my two rabbits they have pens right next to each other but one of my bunnys attacks my other I need your help please ❤
All of them
Hey Lorelei! I’m about to go on a trip and I don’t know how to prepare my bunny’s enclosure. Of course there will be someone checking on him but I’m still nervous that something won’t be at his access and the rabbit sitter won’t know it.
I love all of your videos I recently moved my bunny inside the house from the barn to my bedroom and now he free roams around my room and is the happiest bunny ever in your videos has helped me to learn how rabbits don't belong in small cages. Without you, my rabbit would probably still be in a tiny cage in the barn. You have also helped me find a better DIY cheaper ways of taking care of my rabbit instead of spending a million dollars. Thank you so much!
For anyone as confused on the loofah as I was I guess not all loofahs are plastic? I guess some are made of a cucumber goard. So for the loofah hack don't use a plastic loofah!!!
lol. true
Thank you. I was wondering that.
You can grow your own loofah! They grow on a vine, easypeasy!!
@@weegiewarbler what?? I gonna try that
I was so confused lol. I didn't realize loofah is from a plant. Not saying the ones in my shower are all natural but I learnt something new today
I stuff a kleenex box full of hay and place it with each rabbit. Depending on the brand, I sometimes have to cut out a half circle in the front. It holds a lot of hay, can be refilled (before they start chewing the box) and there is much less waste as they don’t pee on it by or spread it about.
Good one!
Hi, Pineapple juice is an excellent choice for rabbits. It helps flush their tummies from fur balls that can cause blockage. I feed my bunny small bits of dried pineapple everyday to prevent GI stasis. Thanks for your tips
Great hacks. I just want to point out to any new owners that even with the nail clipping hack, PLEASE do not cut too short. There is a vein(I think thats what it is?) that is inside of the nail and if you cut too much off your going to make your rabbit bleed and be in pain. Use a flash light to see where the vein ends so you don't end up hurting them.
There are nail cutters with an led light available!
That's the Quick
I think it's one of the cutest things when a bunny is just patiently waiting, draped over someone's forearm like they are a teddy bear. 😍
Agree! I had a guinea pig who loved to be carried around that way. Absolute trust from a prey animal is pet goals
Yessss!!! ❤️
@@WhileMyGuineaPigGentlyWheeks What a cute name! And Wheekly worship, so cute
@@lazyhomebody1356 Aw thank you! ❤️
I’ve been working on desensitizing my rabbits with a fire alarm noise, it’s been super helpful to avoid chaos when there is an actual fire alarm
I love how with first hack Lennon is like 'look people, I demonstrate!' 😂
The sock hack to cut your rabbit’s nails was a slay like I swear I flu from my chair and tried it on my rabbit and OMG I was shock bc he wasn’t moving as much as he used to❤❤
PLEASE 🙏 make an update about lab bunnies that you rescued from. It would means a lot to me knowing that they are well cared and given their loving forever home.
As always - spread the love for buns!!! 💖🐇💖
I just started fostering bunnies and despite all my research, I’m still learning so much! Thanks for all you do, you inspired me to help some buns!
I love how she takes such good care of Lennon that bunny is gonna be the oldest rabbit ever because she takes good care of her ❤
Personally, I am going to try the sock hack for trimming nails. We have two buns and one is easy while the other is not! So being able to see the nails and clip quicker would be amazing for all involved! 👍😜
Yes!! I found this one super helpful too. One of my bunnies has very furry paws so it’s really hard to see what I’m trimming.
Ooh, ooh, I have a tip for you. When Goliath contracted E. cuniculi, I had to make him take meclazine to fight the dysequilibrium. I had previously given him a couple of Cheerios as a treat, which he really liked. So I cut the meclazine tablets into quarters (one quarter was his dose) and jammed that piece of pill into the Cheerio hole. I gave him a plain Cheerio, then I gave him the mickey (he looked at me like, "Hey this one tastes funny" but he ate it) then I gave him another plain one and he was happy! That med really did the trick, too: no more struggling to find which way was up.
I love the idea of the sock for nail trimming. It's always been such a drama trimming my Sebastien's nails. I can't wait to try it. Thanks Lorelai! 😊 🐰
lol San Francisco always has construction so jackhammers, vacuum, drills, ambulance and police sirens since bunny was a kit. But still paperbags freak him out 😅
Lennon looks so chill in this video. Glad you posted the metal charging cable. I have never seen a metal one.
Can’t wait to try the nail trim sock! Currently it takes two of us to safely trim the nails of my rabbits! One to hold bun and one to move foot floof and trim! I’m trying this hack tomorrow! THANK YOU
I love ur vids i just recently started fully roaming my bun and hes so much happier his name is peanut thank you so much❤
I didn't even know I was doing this loud noise hack thingy. I'm a gamer, so they are so used to hear gunshots, explosions, shouting, etc etc lol
Now they don't even flinch even people do fireworks around my house.
I have always wanted to be a vet and work with rabbits. So as a start to my bunny career I plan to soon foster bunnies from a shelter. And when I do, I am absolutely try some of these hacks.
Two years ago I moved my bunny Lunar out of my room into a bigger room right next to mine. Your videos have been a lot of help and I’m sure it’s hard to come up with all these bunny hacks, but they really do help so thank you!💕
What I did for my rabbit when he had a little respiratory infection was mix (a little) fruit juice with his antibiotics and he viewed it as a treat. But if you end up doing this, don’t use too much juice, and try to use one with no added sugar.
I will try all your hacks with the exception of the desensitization of loud noises. Joey is not fazed at all with loud noises. Unlike my kitty. She’s afraid of noises AND Joey. I’ve had her for 2 years now. She wants to be friends with Joey but Joey hates her and bites her every chance he gets. Sometimes he won’t allow her in the same room. Thank you for all your information and obvious love for the good life of a bunny. ❤
I just made a toy for my rabbit I shoved a hay cube treat in a cardboard roll my rabbit loves it!❤
you could also use an empty toilet paper/ paper towel roll for the hay feeder, i remember when i first got my bunnies i made the empty toilet paper roll toy that you made and stuffed hay into it back in like 2016
I did that too, even earlier, nyah. I got the idea from horses. Well, you know what I mean,lol
Great hacks! Love the sock over paw for nail trimming, the honey on syringe, favored loofah, and hay in the sock. Gonna try them!! Thanks!
I'm travelling soon and I can see the sock being pretty useful since it's always so messy putting hay into the carrier... thank you Lorelei love your content ❤
I try them all . They work well with my bunnies too. I now make them wheat grass , hay cookies with wheat grass added. They love them.
Give this woman an award
Obsessed by the sock for nail trimming.... genius!
Your bunny is so chill
Areca palm leaf bowls saved our couch from a death by chewing. They're ecological, affordable, and totally safe to chew on and eat. Just make sure to get ones that aren't coated with any chemicals
Thanks for this tip.
The sock hay feeder, the juiced loofah slice (nice!) and the baseboard deterrent. Thank you for all your ideas. Not only do they make life a little easier, but they add change and interest to a bunny’s life. My bunny finds small switch ups in her routine interesting and sometimes quite exciting.
Wow great timing, watched this video today and im traveling with my bunny this evening. Definitely gonna use the sock-hay thing and the syringe for water. Thank you! 🐇
What a bunch of great ideas! I have learned a lot about caring for my bunny from your videos!
Keep up the great work!
The baseboard suggestion is great! We put silicone protector strips on ours, but our bunnies started eating them so we had to remove them all. Will give this a try :)
We have a bunny who took a chunk out of a plastic baseboard protector (she and her teefs are that strong...) soooo we'll be trying this too. It's aptly named😂
Where can I purchase one of those loofah's , 14 guinea pigs that hack would be perfect for a once a month treat/chew toy.
I just researched it and it's safe for guinea pigs too. I know your a rabbit channel but a lot of the items that are safe as chew toys for rabbits are safe for guinea pigs too.
So thank you for all your hard work and content Lorelai.
That nail hack is going to be the most helpful for me
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all these very helpful hacks. 😊
LOVE these hacks, I've been a housebunny owner for over ten years so I'm pretty seasoned and several of these still managed to BLOW MY MIND! thanks so much for the new tips!!! 🥰🐰
I love the idea of the sock while traveling! My bunny Ume will be on a plane for the first time on Monday when we move to California, so I’m super excited to use this in her carrier 💜
As always, another great video and some really good ideas. Maybe we can actually save the baseboards.... just maybe!!!!
Lennon is ADORABLE
Love the idea of the sock to trim the nails. Definitely going to try that one!
I like the loofah. We grew those in our garden last year. I look forward to giving Mystery a treat. Thank you.
Thank you lorelei for making this video because i got my bunnies last month and i really appreciate hacks for my bunnies because they are expensive .
I love the hack on socks to help trimming the nails. For white bunnies, it looks great!
Oh my gosh the hay sock trick! I’m flying with my bunny soon and the hay part drove me nuts so this is great!
Thanks for all your tips & recommendations 😊
I love the hack with the sock when cutting their claws! Definitely gonna try that!
Definitely going to try the nail chewing deterrent on the baseboards. And the drop of honey on the syringe (brilliant). And I didn't even know they make metal phone charging chords!! I have 2 free roam buns, and this was super helpful... Thanks so much 💕😊
This was a great video! I like the honey on the syringe for giving meds. It's always a struggle when I have to give my bunnies meds, I'm going to try this the next time I have to give them meds. The sock hay feeder is a great idea as well as using a sock for trimming nails. Luckily, my bunnies don't chew the baseboards or furniture.
your both magic!!!! - creative and thoughtful cant believe you constantly think of things thankyou ! i will always share your videos and advice
I love all the hacks ! The sock one is my fav ☺️
I'm going to try the sock for nail cutting, the metal phone charging cable and the bitter anti-chewing goo. Thank you for the tips!
I needed that nail trimming hack omg thank you
I thought I knew it all but no, the sock over the paw while clipping her nails is a very good idea! I m definitely gonna try!
Oh wow! Wish I knew this when I had Summer bun! Thanks for the share!
Thank you - these are great ideas. I will try the product to stop the chewing (Strong Will), the hay in the sock in the travel carrier and the sock over the paw for nail trims.
I will definitely try out all of these for my bunnies! I think I’ll probably try out the stuff for nail biting on my baseboards because my bunnies chew a lot 😅 also this is kinda off topic but I love your hair! It’s very pretty
That Metal phone charger is a fucking life saver. We have ONE rabbit, I’m not naming names, who will sniff out any cords and absolutely destroy it. Even if you put a cover in it, or something bad tasting, he will still chew it to bits. Can’t wait to see his face when he discovers all our new phone chargers are Metal 😂
Thank you so much for all your information it is very helpful and it's the reason my parents said yes to letting me get a bunny and free roam it😊
Such a cool video! Thanks Lorlei and Lennon! ❤❤😊 🐰
I love your channel!! Ive been watching your videos for years and I now have two mini-rex bunnies! I will definitely test out these hacks! 😁🐰
Oh my gosh! What a clever hack for trimming nails! That’s always been so hard for me since my bunny is like Lennon. Black nails on black fur! Also, he hates nail trimming. Hopefully this will make it easier on the both of us!
I love these hacks! The loofah one is one we're going to try for our buns.
Thank you for these bunny hacks. Because of your videos my 2 month old bunnies (snowball and coco ) are the happiest bunnies on earth💗💕🐇
Hi hi! My bunny's nails just got trimmed and by using the sock life hack that you said it worked very well! It was her first time getting her nails trimmed and it was done easily without any fur in the way! Tsym Lorelei!!
Hi Lorelei Omg I am so so happy you posted this video you are so so helpful much love💖💖
Hi Lorelai! Thank you for sharing these helpful tips and tricks. I recently adopted a Netherland Dwarf/Holland Lop mix (now 3 months old) and he's becoming very curious and loves to chew on the corners of my walls. I met your brother last month in VA (well, he claimed to be your brother). After seeing Levi (the bun) he asked if I watched your videos. I told him you were the reason I finally felt comfortable and confident enough to adopt a bunny. So, thanks! 😊
Hi! Congrats on your new family member. I just wanted to let you know that you should probably keep an extra eye on his teeth. He's the mix of two brachycephalic breeds, meaning his face is more squished than in other rabbits. This can result in malocclusion, abscesses etc! The rescue/shelter probably told you about this but I just wanted to make sure :)
Hi there, this was my first time watching and I loved the video. I have 2 bunnies inside the house. They don't allow me to pick them up and I'm worried that their nails are too long. The one keeps tapping his front paw but it doesn't seem to hurt. How do I go about clipping their nails? 8:03
I finally got my rabbit 2weeks ago and he already groomed me aka kissed me and binkys and all because of you😍
Ok, I like the hay sock 👍
I love your videos!!!!!! I have 7 rabbits and i have grown so much with your videos!
Wait, so it's actually OK for the rabbit to EAT the loofa?!?
Natural loofah
@@LennonTheBunny I'm a guy, I always thought a Loofa was like a Scrub Daddy pot scrubber for the shower... I didn't realize there were natural versions of these.... thank you for the video, and thank you for the reply! 💙
@@BasicFolders lol, as if girls are born knowing about loofahs
@@lazyhomebody1356 🤣👍
definetly gonna try out the sock hack for cutting nails.
Honestly I think I would like to try all of them 😊❤
i love your videos they help me with me and my rabbit if i made mistakes
Luffa idea is brilliant 👌
So practical dear QUEEN of bunnies ❤
The desensitizing sounds is an amazing idea I always worried about fire works if I’m not home with them!
I find that cutting nails can be a bit tricky especially when the nails are pigmented or black in colour. What I learned from my rabbit Monty was that she’d let me apply the clippers to the nail tip but if I was too close to the quick (the veiny bit in the centre of the nail), then she would flex her toes. I found by applying the clippers and squeezing gently and watching for the reaction helped. If I was too close the toes would flex and she would wriggle. “Stop Mommy!” There are some non scissor type of clippers that have nail guards on them….you can use them by putting the nail to be clipped into the clippers and moving the clippers so the nail touches the guard, then snip.
If you cut too short and your bunny bleeds, you can use either cornflour, potassium permanganate (be careful this stains skin and clothes)…..you just dip the bleeding nail into the powder and the bleeding will stop. There is also silver nitrate pens that you use to push onto the area bleeding, this is something that cauterises the bleeding. If you get it on your skin, it burns and will leave brown marks. As a retired Vet Nurse, it was commonplace to get these.…almost like a badge of honour 😂!
the nail sock trimer is a lifesaver love ur videos
Hi Lorelai!! I have to definitely try the nail biting pen because my bunnies are biting the baseboards as well.
The honey tip and baseboard pen could not have come at a better time! One of our buns is built different and WILL chew through plastic baseboard protection. Our other one fights so hard to not take his medicine I can't wait to try this!!!!!!
Thanks for these great tips.
My bunny just ate our charger cable, will definitely check the cable you showed. Also the nail biting ointment on wood/furniture I'll try. As he keeps eating the wallpaper.
You could try areca palm leaf bowls too. The ones with no chemical coating are fully safe to eat. They are also dirt cheap to buy in bulk, ecologically made by heat pressing naturally fallen leaves, roughly as hard as wood, and apparently delicious to a rabbit. After we got our rabbit these bowls she has left the furniture alone :)
I'm loving the loofah hack idea. I didn't know it's OK for bunnies to chew on a loofah so yea thanks you're amazing :)
I probably Won’t get a bunny in a few years buy watching this praperes me so much !❤🐰
thank you for the luffa tip!!
I love you're videos so much i have 3 bunnies Elsa milo and Cleo and when i got them i taught it would be really hard and i didn't know what to do so then i searched on CZcams and i found you're channal and you changed my life i wanna thank you so so much❤😊 i wish i could meet you❤❤❤
I’ve tried the nail clipping hack in a similar way, my vet showed me to do it with gauze!
hi i hope you have gotten though your depression and if you havent it will be ok we are all here for you
Will try all of them
Love the sock idea for trimming nails. Also wonder if that same idea would work for other animals as well like cats, Guinea pigs, or even dogs. Just a wild thought. If and when decide on getting a rabbit will try all the hacks shown.
I think my dogs claws are too thick for that, plus she'd freak over me putting a sock on her,lol
Oh how I wish I knew these when I was doing bunny rescue! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I never tried that nail quail before but I'll give a shot for it
Always BEYOND Helpful!!!
= Thank you Lorelei & Lennon!!!!
I’ll admit.... I’ve been “binge watching” your videos for the last several weeks....
I landscape & design for a living.... while at a job site on June 5th I discovered a blind wild baby bunny....... I told myself & homeowners, if the bunny was still in the same place upon my departure, I would take him home = he is with me now & Absolutely Thriving!!!!!
The information you provide is EXCEPTIONAL..... I am happy to report..... he is free roaming, his diet.... Quite Frankly... Much Healthier than mine... (although that too is changing)
He is So Trusting & Lovable..... I am Madly in love with my bunny!!!!
I Honestly Couldn’t Be More Grateful For You & Lennon!!!
(I’ll continue to watch & learn!!)
Big hug’s to you Both!!!
🙏🐾🌈🦋🌱😇🎈🌻🐰❤️💡🐇💖🌎💌
Aw thanks ❤
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS
Love the hacks!!
