Well done you are doing great with Dolly! 🐰 I also just wanted to tell you rabbits aren’t nocturnal they are crepuscular meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk! Just a little fact for you💕 Your setup and car is amazing (I’ve seen your other vids)!
Oops meant to say care not car! Haha!
Thank you so much for letting me know that haha!! I really appreciate that 💕
Lol I have a Netherland Dwarf too. He’s 7mos and I have curbed his 3am runs by keeping him up a bit during the day. He’s the sweetest but I do tend to bug him and give him treats around 1-2pm so then he’s up and not sleeping and he tends to lay in until 7am. I hope that helps you. Sorry about your litter training situation. I worked with Pancake by putting him back in his litter box and closing the bathroom door when he was little. Being separated made him SO mad that he stopped peeing to mark his territory. Gosh I hope that helps. When she pees take her immediately to her litter box and block access for a couple hours from hanging out with you. That curbed pancake immediately ❤️
I loveee seeing dolly!! Let’s hope she can get litter trained soon🤣 she is the sweetest though you’re doing a fab job girl!!💓
Aww haha I’m glad! She is so sweet🐰💕 thank you gorgeous xxx
I did breed and show Netherland Dwarfs for about three years and they were honestly very sweet and super affectionate. Yes, Netherland Dwarfs are generally highly energetic especially as babies and teenagers. They call Netherland dwarfs mean rabbits because the early ones actually were closer to the Polish rabbit attitude. Please don’t get a Polish rabbit as a first time pet as they are recommended for experienced rabbit handlers due to some of the breeds natural aggression.
Omg I love this! She is lovely💗
Thank you! She’s so cute💕
I loved hearing about this 🥰 Thank you for sharing with us xx
That’s okay! Thank you for watching 💕
@@aliciaashley6521 My pleasure 🥰✨
Dolly is adorable!!!!! So cute that she has training!!
Thank you!! Haha I’m trying😂😂💕
Omg, I had no idea you could train your rabbit ! That’s amazing, they’re so smart ! She is super cute 🥰 I remember I used to have a rabbit when I was little but it ran away when it was in my yard 😭
It’s a lot of work but yeah you can they’re very clever! Thank you so much for watching🤍 that’s so sad about your rabbit😭
aw I love your little disclaimer at the start, I completely agree with what you're saying!! she is soo adorableeee 🥺
thank you so much!! &ahh she really is so cute!!xx
Loved your video! Xx
Thanks lovely xx
Thank you!! I was justtttt wondering about an update!
Aww I hope it helps you!💕
She's sooooo cute!!!!🥺
She is!! Thank you🥺💕
Adorable 🥰
Thank you!
@@aliciaashley6521 your welcome
She's such a cutie!! I'm sure she's been spayed since this video went up but that's key for good litter habits. My guy is great except for my bed, he loves to pee on it. He's not allowed on it anymore 😂 I dont think theres any way to get a rabbit to be 100% litter trained, as in every poop makes it in. There will always be a small few they drop around the litter box.
Getting her fixed by a rabbit savy vet could help enormously with the litter training. Also it will make sure she will not develop cancer in the reproductive organs. And sometimes they just stay a bit untidy wth their littering 😆
Yeah I know I’ve been looking into it thank you so much ☺️
I love your accent🥰
Don’t worry about what other’s say. Most times they don’t do no research on rabbits or they don’t even have a bunny. You get or do what u like for your baby.
Thank you! I wouldn’t mind if I was mistreating her but she is looked after so well and has a great life. It’s sad when people write horrible things
Yea it is I just got my bunny two weeks ago today. Mines a black Havana she so cute. I also have a CZcams channel if you would like to check it out. Thank you I’d appreciate it
A tip for litter training is to use a cat litter box. Also make sure to try out different litter to suit her (making sure it’s safe for rabbits). I would also keep doing what your doing, putting the poops she does out side of the litter box into it! I would also put a hay rack above it as they like to eat and poop at the same time. I hope I have helped! You are doing great with Dolly and I’m glad she’s doing good and is happy and healthy💕
Ahh okay I better get on and order another litter box😂this will be her 3rd! Do you have any other recommendations for different litter types? I do put her hay in her box on one side then the litter on the other half should I maybe try a hat rack instead? Thanks so much I really appreciate it!💕
@@aliciaashley6521 cat paper litter is good I’m pretty sure.. just not any softwood (pine….Cedar..) because they are dangerous for rabbits and I’m sure paper bedding is fine already! I used that kind of paper bedding for my hamster and it was very absorbent most of the time I didn’t even know it was soiled 😂
@@callmekawaii7840 ah that’s a good idea cat paper litter! Yes it’s true the bedding I have is so absorbent too!
Hi. Thank you for being so honest about the issues with the wallpaper and the oopsies on your bed. Have you pinpointed when exactly she started ripping the wallpaper? e. g. were you at work or out the first time she did it? If so, perhaps she is lonely or angry when left alone. I had a gorgeous Boxer dog who ripped my lounge suite cushions up the first time she was alone. Another time she chewed up a cellphone. 🙄🙄Stuff gets real with furries. May be a good idea to restrict the area she can access when you're out for damage control. I saw your first video about Dolly and I'm so happy to hear what you feel you wasted money on. I'm getting a ND (maybe two) in 3 weeks time and you are helping me save money on setting up. I intend to put some hay beside/above the litter tray rather than in it. Your setup for her habitat is amazing by the way. Does she still do zoomies and binkies? She is absolutely adorable.
Hello! She ripped it whenever she fancied whether I was home or not haha but she’s stopped it now she hasn’t done it for ages!
Good luck if you get your netherland dwarfs! I hope my videos will help you😄 yes she does lots of zoomies and binkies!
You are cute. You shared nice video😊
Thank you!
Great video! How much do they weigh? I’ve researched they should be 1.5-2lbs but I am seeing some a lot bigger than that
Hey, so dolly weighs about 1KG I think that’s the average for netherland dwarfs x
My bunny actually does sit down and want me to pet him everytime i go to pet him he lays down 😂💞
That’s sooo cute!❤️
Having "my" rabbit free roam in my room would be my dream but he isn't litter trained either so he has a large pen he's in in my room. I do let him out of the pen to up to 4 hrs a day.
While you’re at work, do you let Dolly roam around? I’m interested in getting a rabbit but I work the traditional 9-5
Hey I work 9-5 too haha! yeah I let her roam around all day - rabbits mostly sleep during the day so they are pretty chilled whilst we are at work X
@@aliciaashley6521 ok perfect! That was my only concern, that’s why I’m opting for a cute bunny than a dog or cat!
@@Kiikooks good luck!!💕💕
@@aliciaashley6521 thanks love!
I’m sorry, but I don’t see the link to the litter box in the description?
Ooh so sorry I must have forgot that! Just linked it for you now have a look🙌🏼❤️
@@aliciaashley6521 thank you! 💕
Will you be getting Dolly spayed once she is old enough? I think a lot of her poor litter habits could be due to her instinctual need to mark her territory. In many cases getting bunnies spayed or neutered helps with litter training a ton.. I know that some people choose not to get their rabbit fixed, especially Netherland Dwarf's due to being such small sized rabbits, but if you are able to find a rabbit savvy veterinarian near you that has a good reputation I would personally get her fixed. I'm sure you have read about the pros and cons of spaying female buns, if left intact they have an 80% chance of developing reproductive cancers by 4 years old. 😥 For health reasons I think it would be in her best interest, as well as if you ever plan to adopt a companion for her. Again, its totally your decision whether you want to get her fixed or not, and if not I respect your choice. No two rabbits are alike and it truly is a case by case basis. I hope you don't take this comment the wrong way, because I support your decision no matter what. Dolly is so darling and I'm happy to see she's settled in to your home so nicely. Thanks for giving us an update on her!
Yes I really do want to!! Sorry I forgot to speak about this! I need to find a good vets to do it though like you said because she’s so small. I’ve heard it really does help with the litter training and their general behaviour. If it helps with reducing cancer then I defo will be doing this! I really appreciate your help thank you💕🐰xx
@@aliciaashley6521 I cant lie I have 2 rabbits one New Zealand white x continental giant and and one mini lop x Netherland dwarf, both are females and my mini lop litter trained by herself but my new Zealand white still pees and poos wherever but when they go into their hutch at night they both only pee and poo in the litter box, both are un-spayed as they are still quite young but my white one is becoming better at only peeing and pooing in the garden or their litter box, whenever they start peeing if they are near their litter box I would say pick them up while and place in them in their litter box or if they go to pee and poo in the litter box once they are done give them a treat and forehead pets/kisses, Hope this helps
@@Josh-wd5ex that’s really good tips thank you so much! So sweet that you have two!!
Have to get rabbit neutral if not aggressive. I'm just saying
Hi I love your video’s and dolly is super super cute I really don’t want to give you any hate but I just want the best for dolly I used to have training pads but if they do bite them there is chemicals in them so they can get ill I hope you don’t take this as a hate comment I just want the best for dolly
Hey! Thank you so much. No that’s okay! Thank god she doesn’t bite them anymore it was just a small phase but I will keep an eye to make sure it doesn’t happen again! 💘
@@aliciaashley6521 that’s okay
Oh and do you know when your gonna post more about dolly she’s so cute but I’m not forcing you
@@eleanorlinger3224 I am aiming to get back to CZcams within the next few weeks and definitely want to post more of dolly x
@@aliciaashley6521 yay I’m excited and in the Easter holidays I’m going to be getting a ginger and white mini lop
