Hii
I luv ur channel so much
A month ago when I bought my baby bunnies I don't have a single idea that how to take care of them and what they like to eat
But ur videos really helped me a lot and ur litter training video was the best
Thank u for making this channel ❤❤❤
Luv from India
Lennon the bunny I have a question is it possible to litter box train a adult rabbit???
Lennon The Bunny is it okay for me to use a water bottle since my rabbit has had a water bottle his whole life and he won't use a water bowl?
I went to a pet store once for fish food. They had a rabbit there in awfull conditions so i took the rabbit off them and still have him 6 years on
Hungry Clone awe that’s so nice 👏 I got my rabbit at a bunny rescue shelter
Hungry Clone The thing with getting an animal from a pet store supports them. Haven't you seen the cute little puppies in the pet store? DONT BUY THEM! They come from puppy mills. Puppy mills are horrible places where dogs are in very small cages, unhealthy, and never go outside. The female dogs are usually bred to death. The puppies that are born at puppy mills go to pet stores. When you buy a puppy from a pet store your supporting the puppy mills. if you want to know more about puppy mills you should look them up and one more thing, there was a dog that drank from a RABBIT WATER BOTTLE FOR 7 YEARS! This completely destroyed her jaw! Some nice Samaritan rescued her and she lived another happy 5 years. I hope you don't buy another animal from a pet store again.Please respond
And my rabbit was going to me eaten by SNAKE but my mom saved him and we all love him so much
@@familyobringer8299 well, I bought my bunny in the pet store. I just couldn't help it, she had a really small cage with two bunnies. Now she has enough space and enough love, so she's happy 💕
@@joannakrowicka6228Krowicka I know it's hard but being in a small cage isn't that bad. It's not like it was about to die or anything, I hope you understand. (P.S. do you have a hedgehog)
Her: "Would you eat salt for fun?"
Me: "Yes."
Same!
I do it too 😂
Lol I do too
This comment spoke to my childhood
Lottafandoms my classmates have sniffed salt
“Would you eat tons of raw salt just for fun??”
me: **sweats**
underrated comment
I would haha
69th like nice
Same, I love salt (I eat salt plain, or salt my bacon)
Yeah, the narrator doesn't know me. (I just had to stop my rabbit from eating the bullion cube I was about to nibble on).
"Rabbits much prefer to graze" **My bunnies pulling hay out of the litter box and dragging it all over my room 😂
that’s so adorable 😭😭
Sameee
That is so funny haha lol 😂
im suddenly watching so many rabbit videos
_i want a rabbit_
KiaraMoon same,I've wanted one for about 5 years now and my birthday is in 22 days. I want a Holland Lop bunny
@@lilypup0515 :0! I hope you get one!! I'm still fairly new to rabbits as a whole, So I'll be looking into it more before deciding which one to get :D
You must have 2 rabbits
KiaraMoonii I have 2 come pick one up
KiaraMoonii do it. I got one a month ago and it’s honestly the best quick decision I’ve ever made
I made all kinds of mistakes when I got my rabbit when I was a kid. Unfortunately it was pre-internet so we didn't know all the things we were supposed to do. We had an outside hutch with a metal mesh floor. We fed our bun pellets and used a water bottle. In fact we never got our bun neutered nor ever fed him hay in his life. We didn't even know he was a he... it wasn't until much later that I realized the pink pads on his underside meant he was a he. I so wish I could go back in time and raise him like Lennon. He was such a sweet perfect bun and didn't deserve how he was mistreated because of our poor knowledge. I am glad you made a video like this to help new rabbit owners.
Trader Dave Same. I really wish I could go back and give my bunny more love than what I did for her. There was internet, just that I was a kid and thought itd be simple to take care of a rabbit. I really wish I couldve searched things and learn more about my rabbit. But the moment I dont have a rabbit, I started to search up so many things I never knew. I really wish to go back in time to retake care of her again. ❤♡
Saphire Boop I can certainly relate. Yes I was just a kid... and yes we didn't have internet back then... but I still feel guilty for not taking better care of such a wonderful bunny. As kids do... we have all these other interests and concerns that distract us and don't think about if we are providing a happy life for our pets. The thing that made it so bad was when we moved the bunny's hutch got moved WAY WAY far from the house... and he would get forgotten... he was so far separated from the family. If he had been in the house in the basement I would have seen him every day and noticed him paying attention to him giving him the love and affection he so needed and deserved. I wish desperately that I had him back to do everything over again and do it the right way to make him the happiest bunny ever.
Trader Dave Well at least we know now incase we do get a bunny in the future. And this time, I'll make sure to not repeat my mistakes and give them a proper home.
saphire Boop I have tried to make up for it the best I can helping others know how better to make their bunny's lives happier and not make the same mistakes I did. I also have added tributes to my bunny in my books, drawing and writing. I hope to get a bonded pair of buns in the future when I can properly care for them and fulfill that promise to make them the happiest buns possible.
Trader Dave Wow. Kind of a coincidence, I do that as well, mainly in my drawings and one story I did. And when my friends talk about wanting a rabbit as a pet, I make sure to tell them everything they should do for a rabbit healthy lifestyle. It's really good that you help people incase they might not know how to care for them.
Thanks to you, I did NOT make those mistakes 😊
We recently adopted an adorable lionhead from the humane society and we had her ex pen, litter box, toys and hide house all set up before we even adopted her. She is a really happy bun and receives free roam time when we get home from work and unlimited hay! Thank you Lennon and Lorelai for the extremely helpful videos!!
I have a lionhead too!!!! I hope your Bunbun has a happy life ❤❤❤
I am THE WORST mom. I just got done crying during and after this video. I got Coco from some friends. He is 14 and I have read SO many articles and I thought I was doing such a great job. Not now!! Wow...ready for my punishment now. Time for some new changes. At least I got the food part right.
No, you're a great mom for getting a pet!
Atleast you realised your mistakes. Some rabbit owners aren't even wiling to do research before or after getting the rabbit!
My rabbits name is Coco. As well.
Just do it right now:)
@@locket5626 I have went nuts fixing everything. We both are so happier now. Thank you all so much!
“would you eat tons of raw salt for fun??”
me: probably
Me:sure
same 👀
I did once
Lol I love salt
🤢🤢😂 eww
“Just because it says for rabbits, doesn’t mean it’s for rabbits”
Amen. Like large running wheels for chinchillas with a picture of Guinea pigs on them. Not only do they not use it, but their spines are very fragile and can’t bend the same way and they can very well break their back.
Basic Bedard it’s so sad when this lady was about too buy a ball for her Guinea pig I put my 2 cents and was like shouldn’t lol
I literally bought the exact large cage featured on this video. I also haven't had a bowl of water for my rabbit..just the bottle. I will be adding a bowl in the morning. Thank you for the insights.
I just started watching your videos tonight and the way I'm interacting with my bunny has already changed completely. I thought he didn't like me, turns out I've just been petting him wrong. The future is bright now.
Would you eat salt for fun!
Me: *Slowly puts down half-eaten bucket of salt* N-no
the random one lmaooo 😂😂😂😂🤪
🤣😂
Oh lord just thinking of all that sodium makes me sick lol
LOL
Lol
I was watching this on my couch and petting my bunny and he just flopped in my arms! Sooooo cute!
Aww, what color is your rabbit and what’s there name 🥺❤️
I have a rabbit and I was petting it too and it flop over to on my lap🥺 mine is a white rabbit and he's name is Sasco
Gacha Star Aww 💕
I wish my rabbit could be free ranged
Moon Lol Rudy and is brown
yesterday I rescued a bunny from the shelter. he was so sweet and the cage was so small, I knew I had to do something. i’m learning so much about these beautiful animals, and I’m so excited to give this baby a better life! as of now, he already seems so much happier 💗💗💗
I knew somebody with a bunny...they didn’t give them hay so I told them they should give them unlimited hay and these are the exact words they replied with “well wild bunnies don’t have unlimited hay do they?” *excuse me what*
Confused Confusing confusion
Big difference between the two!
Heres a tip: If your bunny is not drinking its water try putting a slice of apple or banana in the water for a minute or two, take the treat out of the water and this will make the water taste like a treat and that will make your rabbit more willing to drink water!
WARNING! Do not do this every time you give your bunny water as that can cause your furbaby to gain un-necessary weight. If your bunny refuses to drink water for even 2 days without the treat trick bring them to the vet as they will know what to do and help you from there. The treat trick is just a temporary thing until you can get your bunny to the vet.
Thank you ❤️
@@pinkpastles of course!
Yea my rabbit hasn’t been drinking so thanks for this! 😊
tysm! i started realising my rabbit isnt drinking her water it is starting to worry me tysm for the help!
I'm going to try this because I just got a rabbit a week ago and he doesn't know how to drink from a bowl because he is to used to using a bottle
My parents stupidly bought a rabbit for me when I was 6, even though they knew we wouldn’t be able to provide it with a nice, healthy life. She ended up staying in a wire cage, getting too much food and little water. I felt terrible when I realized how bad of a job we were doing. She’s now living a much better life with someone that can provide her basic needs. ❤️

This is a brilliant vlog thanks so much for sharing!
Salt licks
Me: takes salt out of bunny’s cage *whispers sorry*
Sayward&SpeckPlayz ikr- My rabbit loves her salt rock, and doesn’t like it if I touch it.. she likes licking it when she... does the do...
@@sarosquid steal it away
I literally have one coming in the mail. Ope
WhErE's Da RiCe?!?! Why exactly? I like going to the kitchen myself and eating plain salt- it tastes like fries
right i’m realizing i’m doing so many things wrong 😭
That’s a strange dog you got there
I know right
thats a kangaroo idiot
Its a dog? wow, and all this time I thought I was watching Jurassic park 2
Are you guys mental?? That’s a fucking hamster
You fools! That's a hare for the love of God!
That was super informative! We just got our baby bunnies 4 days ago! I'm so glad you're on you tube putting out this fantastic information! Thank you so much! Our bunnies are going to have such a better life because of you! Thank you! 🙏❤ 🐇🐇❤
thanks for the helpful video! haven’t got the happiest bun over here because of these mistakes we’ve made so i’m excited to improve his living conditions and make him a lot happier 🙂
“Would you eat tons of raw salt for fun?”
*Yeah probably*
Why is that me lol
I had a friend who did that. Needless to say, we're not friends anymore.
I mean same
Sameee
salt rocks taste good
I didn't know people gave their rabbits salt..
I uh.... used too... but it was because Tossan would always try to get to our salt on the tables and lick em. So we bought her a salt lick instead.
Robin Woosherlin I still give my it once and a while like maybe once or twice a year she enjoys playing tug of war with it 😄 I love my bunny and she does have one of those cages but I only put her in at night during the morning I let her out like a dog when you let them go out when U first wake up 🤣 lmfao and she stays out till late night when I got too sleep so maybe 2-7 (I don’t get much sleep) lol
I never have
Derp Chan my mum bought a salt lick even though I said not to and my bunny never touched it
My rabbits have salt but they dont ever use it. Its just cool
I absolutely love your channel! Informative and heartfelt. 💜
This is a really awesome educational video!! Thank you.
I want a rabbit but now I’m scared to get one cause I’m worried I might mess up and idk. I don’t want to hurt it
Ashley A Just do a lot of research and you will be fine
I've had lots of bunnies growing up. They are really easy pets to care for. Follow what this video shows and you will be fine. Main thing to look for are urinary infections. They are common.
Ashley A i actually made 80% of these mistakes with my bunny and it lives already 10 years, dont worry i dont say these mistakes dont matter but your bunny would be okay if you give it attention and love❤
Just do research, give it a large place to live, toys, a litter box, and something on the floor. You'll be good.
Oh, you are so sweet, I did most of these mistakes cuz I was not educated about it, I bought my first rabbit when I was 7 and my second one when I was 10 but my second bunny died and when he died I started taking proper care and educating myself but it was too late, my first bunny died in 27 th october
"would you just eat tons of raw salt for fun?"

Thank you so much ✨ that was the most enjoyable video I’ve ever watched on CZcams
I just had a rabbit dropped off to my house and thank goodness I've been watching Lorelei and lennon, I feel like for now his space(to get settled) is just right for him.
I can't even imagine how many rabbits are suffering from peoples ignorance and not doing their proper research before they decide to "buy a cute little bunny". Poor babies!
I have a bunny and she is the best I did my research
@@NonAnonymousWeirdo same i feel bad because we got 2 rabbits. They had to live outside because I was like 6 or 7. I didnt have a phone yet so i didnt do any reaserch. Bow that im a bit older every animal i get, I do so much reasearch before and after. (Im like 5 years older now)
I did three years of research before i got a bunny
I bought my 3 baby bunnies today and just cleaned an old cage and put them there with food and water but I'm doing my research rn and I'm gonna get them a lot of stuff from the video.
King Kiagon Nice I Gotta Mine About a month ago
Extra mistake: If you won’t have enough time throughout the day to spend with your rabbit, GET MORE THAN 1.
Not alot people have the mk money and time for 2
We had two but one of them died when he was 4 months old :( also our other one used to chase him and was quite territorial (so we just give him loads of cuddles to keep him company)
@@Angel-tostitch If you lack the resources and time to take care of any living thing you probably shouldn't have it.
@@mightymacaw3157 I said people may not have the time and money to get 2 but can have time and money for 1
I have 3 and they are all the same age
This was extremely informative; thank you so much for helping us become better bunny owners
Thank you for all the wonderful information.
I made so many mistakes lol but I was 12.
I bought a rabbit from a pet store, it was on its own in a small cage, I didnt give it enough hay, gave it the salt chew lick thing, the waterbottle and the triangle litterbox.. etc
But later he had a friend in a huge hutch with a water bowl and without all the weird other mistakes.
Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen I don’t bring rabbits my parents surprise me with some pets
I AM 12, got the rabbits when i whas 10 if we hadnt bought them, the other one bidding for them whas a snake owner who whas offering them a slow death
Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen same
Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen I have bunnies but they have to use a water bottle
I remember when I first got my rabbit I got her at a flee market she was put in a small cage and the guy selling her sold them for 20 dollars and only told us that she needed water and pellets and when she got older I knew we had to get her a bigger cage but my parents never wanted to so she was stuck in the small cage she had since she was little (I was 11 when I got her) and I always took her out tho so I guess that’s good but she only lived to be 2 years old and I’m pretty sure cause she lived in such a small cage and my parents never let me do anything about it
I just got a bunny for my daughter thinking it would be “so cute” and now I have the equivalency of an infant that requires long stretches of daily exercise living in my home! 😭 I am glad I did lots of research and asked a lot of my rabbit mom friends their suggestions and I’m eternally grateful you made this video! Lots of people AND EVEN WORSE, PET STORES give so much of the wrong information. I learned very quickly that I didn’t need to spend over $100 on a grand rabbit hutch and that my bunny drank a multitude more water out of a bowl than she did out of that darned water bottle. Even so, I am still constantly learning more and more about my little girl everyday. Thank you and I thank Lennon also for making such a great, short piece of vital info for prospective and current and even past rabbit parents ❤️
Never buy pets just because "it's cute" common mistake
@Gacha CC 1. read the entire comment 2. the comment is literally 2 years old i think they know that by now
@@GachaCCthere’s nothing wrong with buying rabbits because they’re cute?? as long as you take care of it correctly and don’t do the things said in the video it’s fine to get rabbits for whatever reason.
Wow thanks! My mom owned a bunny when she was a teen and it was girl and a few months ago we got our two bunnies roger and teddy! But boys are way more difficult to take care of but your Chanel has helped us ALOT thanks!
The litter box tip has been so helpful. Thank you so much!
“Would you eat a block of salt?!...NO!”
I beg to differ....
AnyPenny And here I was googling It “Is it safe to lick a salt lamp” cause I wanted to be mentally prepared for death. It’s safe...... I think......
SkiAngel 3 plain salt can hurt your body. I don’t remember but I think they said it gives you cancer or some other health problem
GalaxyFennecFox Cookie lol I love salt WHOOPS
When giving rabbits apple, *never* feed them the seed as they a cyanide in them.(which can kill rabbits). And I would recommend taking the skin off as it's sharp and could hurt their throats.
Well it doesn't actually matter because you would have to feed so much of it which is really not gonna happen.
Wow so helpful! I was already doing some of these mistakes! Quickly correcting myself!
This is a wonderful video! Thank you!🐇🐰❤🥰
I made all the mistakes. I'm so sorry for my rabbits i had in the past now ...
ikr
True that. I'm more into rats and aquariums today, growling at petstores for their wrong advices that only leads us to buy more while harming the animals.
Wrong informations are being spread all over the place. Today i learned how much they also fucked up rabbits.
What makes me sad is that i wont plan to get another pet rabbit in the future, it's just not my type of pet, and thinking about the only rabbits i owned had a "bad" life is... meh T-T
Thank you ^^
Oh do not worry about it ;) !
Sheiokee atleast you know for the future
Sheiokee saaammmmeeeee
I rescued my rabbit from a farm where he was severely neglected.. he was suffering from fly strike and horrible malnourishment so I took him to a vet and got their advice. He is now thriving and I named him after Lennon 🥺❤️
what was the advice?
You know rabbit need more care in winter
Thanks for all the good info!
Found out that i didn't do all of those mistakes!!! So happy ☺️
Thanks for a really useful video!
the worst mistake of all that I made was licking the saltlick myself when I was a child.
Annemarie Eijlders 😂
Annemarie Eijlders got it for my pigs when I was younger. I also licked it.
Annemarie Eijlders if you ever have bought a salt lick u have to lick it
TheSwimmingPotato was it good?
meh lifesucks noooo its horrible i licked one that i had for my genie pigs. Honestly i would rather lick soap then a salt lick
If I want to cuddle my bunny I just lay down on the floor and pretend to be dead, and they would come and start happily jumping on my back or tummy and chewing my hair❣️❣️❣️🐇💖🐇

I’m here watching this when I lost my rabbit 2 weeks ago. He was 10 years old, old age caught up with him.
Sorry for your loss :( do you have any advice for new rabbit owners?
holly all I can say is don’t listen to people who think rabbits are easy to take care for. In sense they are similar to small dogs and take as much care.
Sorry for ur loss I'm a rabbit breeder and I know exactly how u feel ,the first litter of my rabbits we're very young when they died ,they died at 6 days old ,I had to go through all of the pain of watching them take their last breath ,I hope that u recover from ur beloved rabbit's death and I'd like to say a nice poem for ur rabbit ,
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
If the devil don't take u then
The angels must.
And just to let u know I'm not religious ,I just like to send my animals off to heaven in a special way.☺👍👍
I'm sorry to hear that, Lucas. Loss is always hard, especially if it's our little loved ones 🐰 Mine's name is Archie. Hang in there.
Sorry for your loss... I have two rabbs that are 3 yrs old, they're twins but look different and I'd be devastated if anything happened to em... Can't imagine the pain you must feel
I live in the uk and my local pet store aka pets at home has an entire wall of shelves dedacated to rabbits
cats and febi star stable I bought about 6 guniea pig nests from there
yeah same I thought that was what every pet store had lmao
Same I live in the UK and I agree with everything you say
I have dwarf rabbits and every morning we let them out from their two story cage, and they can go anyway in the house. They also can go outside and enjoy fresh grass with tones of miles of land.
What a good and informative video thanks for your advice
My cousin had a rabbit and he pooped everywhere and I was like “why is he pooping Cocoa Puffs-“
That's a cute name ^ω^
Mm yes breakfast

It's actually a better idea to watch this before you get a rabbit lol. Now you're knowledgeable!
I want a rabbit but I have 2 dogs so that would be an immediate death sentence to a bunny and I would let that happen, especially since one of my dogs is a coonhound.

I want one after watching this video
Your the best, all my questions were answered and it informed be ALOTE. I didn't know 6/10 facts! Thank you so much!
thank you for this ! i just got 2 rabbits yesterday,I've been wondering how to take care of them
I purposely bought a outside double story cage for both my rabbits to live in, however they can go in and out of the cage whenever they want. They are free range but have a hutch to go in!
That's what called
*Perfection*
I have a cage for my rabbit but I never lock him in he’s free to run around in his room that he has it’s just where he uses the bathroom and eats and drinks water 😁
It's really stupid to not get one... They need to have a private space to retreat to, cage or hutch is fine if the door is open
I made a literal three story house for my bunny and she basically owns our house now :D
Same but they can only come out when I’m there cause there is a lot of places to escape
yesterday my mom bought my brother a bunny just bc he wanted one. no research was done before hand and i’ve been the only one trying to make sure it’s happy and healthy
UPDATE: the bunny died. my parents told me not to take care of it and he died:(
I bought a pair too a week ago with zero research just to make my kid happy. But so far things are going alright.
SAME they got a water bottle and are feeding him too much carrots like nooo
A rabbit is a 10 yr commitment.
I am so sorry. I hope it is doing better.

Ty very much these videos are helping me,I'm getting a bunny soon
FYI everyone: Single bunnies are very lonely. It is illegal in Swizerland to keep a solitary rabbit.
I got a 4 month old rabbit just a couple days ago and I adopted a lone rabbit because I only want and can take on one. She is already my best friend and is out at least 5 hours a day. Hopefully that time will expand once her and my dog are used to eachother. If I ever feel she is lonely then I would of course get her a friend but shes doing very well right now
I had gotten two bunnies but my sister had let one go :( and I cried for days
@@kieg6138 no human can be like a rabbit to another rabbit, they really need at least one bunny friend!!

KIE G you don’t know that. and you shouldn’t just get one because you only wanted one. rabbits can’t speak so you don’t know if she is lonely
You kind of sound like Ruby from Max and Ruby and they were rabbits, so therefore I trust you entirely
Glad im not the only who thought that lol😂
Max and Ruby
Ruby and Max
Ruby and her little brother Max....
Max and Ruby.
You're not kidding. Also the irony of the fact Max and Ruby are rabbits was not missed LOL.
Yes 😍
Omg yes
Lorelia, thank you for all this info and research towards my own bunny little bean!
This is a good video. The only thing I have to add is that some people or their family work from home so they have time to check on the amount of hay in a smaller hay feeder like I used to.
When we are home my bunny’s cage is always open for him to leave and run and around freely but some days he happily sits there fully relaxed near the open door and doesn’t want to leave his cage and when you try and get him to leave he hides so actually I think it depends on what your bunny wants as his cage is his home and so his safe place and I don’t force him to leave if he doesn’t want too.
Lauren McKinlay not true. a bunny will be shy if forced to be in a cage because they can become depressed. it’s not up to you because it is horrible for a rabbit to be in cage
April’s Rabbit Care considering you haven’t met my bunny or his vet who can’t get over how relaxed he is around people and also how well he is looked after he is most definitely not shy or depressed. Some days he just likes his cage and sometimes he comes and wants to be picked up. Yes believe it or not he likes to be held, Ik this because he bunny purrs, nustles into me and his ears are completely back and relaxed, just like in his cage whenever I am near. If you know your bunny and their moods, like I do, then that’s the key for them to be happy and content, in or out their cage.
Lauren McKinlay i may not have met your bunny but all bunnies enjoy more space. a rabbit can live in a cage yes but they thrive with out one
Lauren McKinlay 💚 you sound like you’re doing a great job if your bunny is free to leave his cage when it pleases him
April’s Pet Care she clearly said her bunny lives free in the house but has a cage with an open door for whatever he wants to do there. How is she forcing him or depriving him of space? Duh.
My rabbit never had a cage. I let her run around the apartment. She was very friendly and liked to jump up with me on the couch. She had a litter box, which she peed in, but she never pooped in it. I was constantly cleaning up pellets.
A word of caution. If you let your rabbit run around free MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN'T GET TO ANY ELECTRICAL CORDS. I came home one day to find that my rabbit had chewed into the TV electrical cord and died. That was so stupid of me not to think of that.
So, mistake #11.
I'm so sorry your rabbit died ;-;
wulf doggu this is so sad;-;
wulf doggu what pets you have
@@gayfazesway9713 I have right now a dog his name is Luke and we might be getting 2 bunnies mIgHt I'm not sure yet.
I am so sorry for her sudden and tragic death, it must have been such a shock to you to come home to that x
My 2 young bunny's we got in May 2022 I think I'm doing well so far I've been doing everything you said and I love your Channel
I am getting a new bunny and I'm really excited
Umm I noticed when she was talking about no water bottles the one she showed was the exact one I have I looked at my rabbit and said I’m so sorry
Jordan Singh don’t be, as long as you disinfectant them every 2 weeks or so with and animal safe method (we use glass bottles and put them in boiling water for about 5 minutes or so, than let them cool down for a few minutes) they’ll stay clean, all you have to do is let you rabbit run around freely (under supervision, of course), clean them and than you won’t have to worry about having your rabbit run out of (or tip over) their water if you’re gone. We can’t even use bowls because of how much our rabbits like to hop over stuff, they always knock down ceramic or metal bowls or chew through plastic ones, so we can only use bottles
I know I try to tell my parents but all I get is who are the parents here?
@@jordansingh7780 I have the exact same problem as Still Homestuck. My bun likes to jump on things, he knocks poo into the water and ruins it, tips over any bowl he can, it's like he refuses to eat or drink without attempting to ruin the bowl first ha. I HAD to get a bottle, and he's had several vet checks since then and no problems. I got a big glass one so it's heavy, doesn't move easily, and cleans easily.
Yeah somethings I get her food bowl and put water in there
I use a water bottle but I took out the metal spout, keep it the rubber stopper mounted it inside (the cage they stay in while I’m at work) and put the bowl directly underneath so it fills to the rubber stopper and won’t overflow but keeps constant fresh water coming into the bowl
Why would I buy salt rocks for my rabbit?!?!?
I buy them for myself of course
Thats true
Yes
They look cool
Cuz I have low blood pressure and nearly black out when standing LOL 😅 Dont judge me
@andrielisilien why would we Jude you?
Thank you so much for making this video because I have two bunnies and both of them shared a water bottle and now they both have a big water bowl. 😊
Your my favorite CZcams ever and your right rabbits deserve the right items
5:28 Lennon is like "what is this, get me out of here mom!" lmao. I love Lennon so much!
*casually removes the salt lick*
Mish Mosh some rabbits are low in salt naturally and require an extra supplement, e.g a salt lick. they will try to seek out salt by licking the owners skin or via a salt lick, therefore one should always be available
This is not at all true. Rabbits live long happy lives without salt licks, like they would if they were living wild. Rabbits licking their humans is often a sign of affection rather than a salt deficiency.
that’s why i states some rabbits are deficient, not all of them. many aren’t but it’s a good idea to have one just for a choice as a precaution. wild rabbits typically arent deficient as they have access to many different forages which are sufficient to their mineral needs, salt being one of them.
Well my rabbit has never licked it, so I’d say she doesn’t need it. I used to have a bun who LOVED salt though. She’d slurp at that thing all day.
one of my buns loves it and the other never touched his. so the same as yours☺️
You helped so much 😁😁😊thanks so much!!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜😁
Since my bun is half Flemish Giant, I am currently using a baby bathtub as her litter box, made a world of difference for my Lucy. Also, she has a gravity feed water bowl like the ones used for small dogs, she loves it. 🐰
mistake 11: rabbits are social group animals and should not be kept alone.
Absolutely agree!
Agreed, with guinea pigs too
My bunny does not bond with other bunny’s. I adopted her from my aunt last year and she lived alone in a flat. But now she lives in a big outdoor hutch at night and in the day she lives in a large run with a bendy log stick bridge, a large hay rack, kale and other vegetables and I switch her toys every day. I’ve tried bonding her with other bunny’s but she’s very territorial so will not but I spend a lot of time with her in the day but she doesn’t like being touched often she only likes the presence of me. She only has a few pellets in her hutch over night. Should I try bonding her again (she is spayed so she is not as moody as she used to be) 🧡
No they're not,same gender would fight..
Bonding is a slow and methodic practice through which you can get two (or more) rabbits living together peacefully.
All animals must be fixed for 6 weeks prior to bonding.
Some animals will never get along. Rabbits are choosy about who they room with
Bonding can take days to months, so patience and practice is key
You can absolutely get two rabbits of the same or opposite sex together. You can absolutely have rabbits that are loners and rabbits that like companions; each one is an individual and has its own needs.
i feel so bad,,,, i’ve had three rabbits- i currently have my third one,,, i’ve done most of this and the first two have died,,,,, i feel terrible :(
It's ok it might not have been your fault it could have been the Pet Stores
I share your pain. My parents thought a bunny would be a good pet for a 2-year old. She went to a better home, thankfully. Still, trauma.
Sophie S i haven’t gotten any pets from pet stores
Don't get a salt lick unless a vet tells you your bunny is low on sodium.if you must get one don't go to Petco.
You didn't know, you didn't have ill intentions, so don't beat yourself over it! What's important is now you know! ☺️☺️
0:17: A rabbit loving channel too. Love, honor, adore, and bow to their cuteness.
I love your videos I got a mini Rex, and I love him, so far I’m doing things right with diet and space to run around but a bigger litter box makes all the difference!!! Thank you
I got a dwarf rabbit 15 years ago at a farmers market in Pennsylvania and he is still kicking!
Julia that means u took great care of him!
is he neutered?
Lowkey Carrena yep. A lady rescued the four of them and neutered them before.
That makes me smile mine is 12 now
what farmers market was it?
The intro just gives me so much life
From seeing footage, I used to have a black bunny as a baby and in the video they always went over to me so I think they liked me but they always used to back up again when I moved suddenly XD it was an adorable video
Thanks so much I just got a rabbit about 10 days ago so this helps so much!
When I was younger my grandpa got me and my sister 2 rabbits. He didn't tell us he was getting them for us and he didn't even tell my parents! i live in the UK and at the store pets at home their usually really well educated on animals ( well they are better now,. They weren't in 2010!) I had a wooden hutch and we kept my rabbit outside all year:( I was only 8, but I always think back to how terrible I looked after her.
When one of our rabbits past away we never got another one for the one we still had. We gave her a diet of just pellets and barely any vegetables. I wish i could go back and give her a better life. I'm now older and I have a hamster. And I've done all my research and he is living his best life haha! I learned from my mistakes. But I will always have that guilt left.
Rip snowy and thumper :(
I have treated animals badly out of ignorance before too. It's made me obsessed with researching animal care and trying to pass it on to other people. I still feel awful though... but all we can realistically do is be better.
littlekitsune1 me too that’s how i was when i first got my buns. i got them for therapy animals (not registered, just for me to have at home and stuff). i did next to NO research! it was last minute, and awful. the past couple months have been full of research, and i just got home from shopping for better supplies and stuff, and waiting on c &c grids for a big big big enclosure. i’m so upset with myself for how they have been treated so far, but i’m learning and doing so much better now.
@@emcrawford6401 I'm glad you're trying to do the best for your buns now. :) They'll be much happier for it and in turn be able to make you much happier as therapy animals.
Same!! My parents got me and my little brother two hamsters when we were really young and we didn’t know how to take care of them.. now that I’m older I feel so guilty that I was caring for them all wrong! But now I’m researching rabbits because I’m more responsible and educated now so I’m hoping to take care of a pet independently 😌
@@carys7998 Good luck!
Can we just appreciate how Lorelei buys things like a hamster cage or a really bad quality litter box just to show us when she'll probably never use it that much?
Hopefully she gives it to a shelter or a friend who needs it for another animal like a hamster.
walkingparadox10 its also too small for a hamster. This cage is terrible
@@Michi.oo4 honestly that cage would be better for hamsters than the ones normally bought for them. obviously bigger is better though (i have a syrian in a detolf [900+ square inches of floorspace])
Caroline yeah.. the one in the video is kinda small if you consider that hamsters burry a lot. But you are right! There are kids out there with worse cages because of the horrible petstores selling those 😩
She might use it as a large litter box for Lennon, Its WAYYYYY to small to be donated even if it ends up in gerbil or hamster care.
Omg thank you so much for this. I’ll totally make some changes to my rabbits life :)
This is a great video! 😊 also, you should do another Q&A! :)
