We need more Morgan!! Ur never going to out run a rabbit!! Classic!!
Great tips!! I have 2 buns, so they have to go to the vet together. I have to coordinate with my husband so we're each picking up a bunny at the same exact time. Otherwise there's no chance at picking up the 2nd bun 🤣
thank you! me and my family are about to adopt a bunny and I've been watching your channel for more then a year and my parents finally said yes to adopting one! We'll be free roaming her accept when were not home she has to be in an x-pen! Thank you!
love that you’re adopting instead of shopping 😊
I also adopted my rabbits and it’s so nice to have the rescue there if you have any questions
@@juliannze
Oooooo good luck!
Have u got ur bunny yet
@@chiara7628 yea! sorry i didn't see this 😭 she free roams all day long and she never has to be put away! she loves cuddles and bites when you stop petting her 😭
thank you! my rabbit will NOT let me pick them up. this helps so much!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for sharing your bun wisdom to help so many others. Yup. Harper is 11 years old (free roamer for the entire time) who loves being petted but not picked up. The best way I found was to leave a duffle bag size pet carrier out at all times which she goes in and out whenever she wants. I always put some select hay in it too. When I see her go in, I quickly close the door flap. This works 70% of the time. She is fairly quick witted, so sometimes doesn't always work. The rest of the time is exactly the way is described in this video.
Harper bunny! Congrats on 11 bunderful yrs! 😊
We use an empty litterbox with a towel in it and only pick up our bun enough to get him in there. We are all more comfortable when we carry him this way.
Enjoy watching your channel. ❤
Thank you for this!!! I only pick my Bun up with I NEED to. I try so hard not to!! But I gotta when he needs his nails clipped. But other than that I never pick him up.
From my experience with 3 rabbits over 12 years or so, you can potentially train them to be okay with being picked up. Both of my boy Polishes (particularly my current one, Basil) hated being picked up at first. Now Basil is super chill about being lifted and will happily sit in my arms purring while I snuggle him and stroke his head. Just make sure while you're training them, ALWAYS give them some manner of treat every time you pick them up so they start to associate being held with getting treats. My Holland girl, on the other hand... sadly as much as she's the perfect size and fluff consistency for cuddling, she will probably just never enjoy being picked up. She's gotten to the point where she tolerates it, but she's never happy about it
Thank you this really helps me
I just get my lil dude to go into a hide, or onto a basket... something I can lift instead of him. He's gotten to the point now where he'll willingly get back into/on whatever I've put him on the table with when it's time to get down again. Progress! 😂
that is so cute and such a good idea
yes! my bunny knows that this specific hide home is strictly for when she needs to go to another place and she HATES it. she always does a thump before hopping in (she gets loads of treats after so shes fine...drama queen 🙄💞)
@@90sbby37 hahaha... yeah, my lil dude stomps at me often enough... most adorable lil tough guy ever. 😂
Picking up my bunny is a nightmare. What I found the most useful is to not pick him unless I have to cut his nails, but say 'if you don't go to the living room on your own, I'll have to pick you up', 9 out of 10 times it works, this 1 time was when I said it to him 5 times, finally I said 'okay, I'm picking you up and putting you on the floor' (he was laying on windowsill), I did that, he was so surprised that I did what I said I would do 😂 But it works because I talk to him a lot, he can answer yes and no in his way, by either blinking twice or shaking his head. I think a lot of it is understanding your bunny's personality and behaviour and I have him for 5.5 years.
I'm a fairly new bun mom, and I'm constantly impressed with just how smart my bunny Maisy is. It didn't take her long to learn what the word "nummies" meant. 😂
@@lyrria1854 They are really smart! However with great bunny brain comes great sassiness, and they will ignore you if they want. Most of the time it goes like 'Hey, sir, don't do this. Stop. Are you listening. I said stop. Don't do this to me. I will stop buying you papaya' and only threats work 😂 Or I'll tell him that he will have to find a job if he doesn't stop chewing walls and we lose deposit, somehow his lazy bum is so scared of responsibility that it also works 😂😂
That's a smart rabbit! 😮
Sometimes when i go up to my bunny, he doesn't run or anything just lowers his head for a pat lol
I love holding my bunnies. Sadly, they’re not fans of my icky furless touch 😆 so when I need to pick them up I will usually place a treat in a corner and pen them in with their carrier. I leave the door open so they can hop in themselves. My boy never fails to honk and thump his displeasure before hopping in and both of them flick their feet at me afterwards to let me know how vile I am for tricking them yet again, but they always get a small treat afterwards so they forgive pretty quick.
She has the cutest little feet/back paws 🐾💕
I know right!!! ❤️
I love videos like this but I got lucky I started picking my bunny up from day one and she loves it only from a few people tho (plus she’s fully bonded to me)
When I got my bunnies as babies. They use to not mind being held. But now they don’t like to be held anymore.
Thank you for sharing your tips. My bun hates being picked up. I keep hoping that this will change eventually. I just want to shower my bun with love and kisses. 🐰🥰
Cinnabun is so cute 😢❤
Thank you so much we have had a rabbit for a year now and just got another one and he hates to be held and this helps so much thanks!!
Thank you for everything I watching your videos when I got my rabbit Elsa you are amazing!!!!!!!!!
I have been watching your videos since I wanted a rabbit and since I got my rabbit 😊
Cinnabun is an adorable 🐰 bunny! You can tell she doesn't want to be picked up! Her attitude is I want this to be over! Our rescue bunny 🐰, The Professor doesn't like to be picked up! After about a month, he now enjoys being petted! He also likes the 🐰 bunny song 🎵 I sing to him! Have a great Sunday, Cinnabun! Bunnies 🐰 RULE!
HAHAHAHA!! I do that too! "Dinner time, dinner time... it's little bunny dinner time!" Thank you, Morgan... I'm an idiot now. 😂
Thanks for your rabbit videos I have a rabbit it’s funny it gets exited when it sees me and runs around I do feed him his favorite snacks
I already have a bunny, but I’m getting another baby bunny and he doesn’t like being held that much so this was very helpful. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your channel and am so glad I found it. My bun only tolerates being picked up, lol. 😂 Thanks for the tips.
the tips absolutly works even my shyer rabbit is like moms hand=treats. the other one of my 2rabbits has even started to let me pet het here now and then and ive had them 2 and 1/2 year in april they were both 6months when i got them so its been taking awile too build the trust. OH and giving them a treat when you put them down is golden they dont run away now they wait for the treat lol. thank you cinnabun for shopping us human how to hold you bunnies properly, iknow it must have been awful for you, hope you got some extra treats for it. /stay hoppy.
Great video! When and how to pick up companion rabbits is really important. Sometimes you just have to do it if they need to go to the vet or leave the house with you for any other reason. Great tips.
I remember your first video about picking up a rabbit. These indeed are good tips, but none of this works with mine hahha 2.5 years later, she likes pets, she likes eating out of my hand, she jumps on my lap and me, but picking up? No way, no-go. No matter how securely I pick her up, she squirms almost immediately.
We don't tend to pick her up often, it's when we cut her nails, and need to take her to the vet, and on occassion like now during spring fever where she tries to bite down and dig away her wooden digging box, which of course won't happen, but makes a lot of noise hahah. We have to get her out and level the contents, otherwise she bites and flips the shovel we are using hahaha
Great tips, I got off to a rough start with my Hazelbun, sometimes I have to pick her up for vet appointments, and to groom her , as I need to brush her because her husbun likes to groom her a lot and he is prone to stasis.
Hi thank you so much...my rabbit exactly is like that
Hi i love youre videos
I M GETTING A BUNNY AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING U TO LEARN🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am already halfway there with hand feeding. You are a champion for everyone 💕
You can do it!
CINNABUN SUNDAY! so helpful for my brand new bunny! I do have a lion head who sheds everywhere right after we get her groomed, and grooms herself a lot, so I have to pick her up multiple times a day! sucks, but it’s for her health. She is so fluffy and has fur all over her body.
At 1:53, how many outtakes is there of Cinnabun bolting off the table before you got the perfect bunny pic-up! Our 4 year boy bunny is no problem to pick up. Our 20 week old girl is a young diva and definitely hates it, but after, she's ok being held. Great advice and information Morgan, very entertaining too.
Great tips I’m getting to bunnies and I definitely need to know all of these❤❤ love your vids
Here are some tips if you are getting a new rabbit.
Do not use Kaytee brand.
I would use Oxbow or science selective, Or other small businesses
Try not to keep them in a small cage and interact with them every day. Last, but at least have them live in a playpen with a cage inside if you can or free Rome them cause that’s the best option. I would free mine, but cannot, so I just use a big fence/playpen with a cage inside during the night.
Can you get that from uk
I have a same problem😢 ı try this thank you🎉
Thank you so much! I just recently got a new rabbit named willow and I’m trying to bond it with my other one. They like to bite at each other or like scratch at each other. Any main tips on bonding that can help those problems or just in general?
I love your videos so much! I want a bunny so so bad but sadly my dad won’t let me! Do you have any tips to help convince him? He’s mainly worried about the responsibility and that I won’t take care of it! Thanks
❤CINNABUN❤
No rabbits were harmed in the making of this video
But one got annoyed, however was given treats so it's probably forgiven 😂
Hi can I have some advise please... I've got a bunny he's a few months old and unfixed, I'm scared to get him done because I know a few people who's rabbits haven't made it through the op. I've joined a socialmedia group about bunnys and asked if anyone has a unfixed male and how they get on, I've had a lot of comments saying he needs to be neutered for bonding but i wasn't planning on getting another bunny. He's free roam indoors and we are with him all the time 💛
One of my bunnies HATES being picked up he just like runs in the air when I pick him up. But his brother (my other bunny) doesn’t really mind being picked up.
My bun isn't food orientated at all so I don't know how to bribe him into friendship. He also hates being touched at all, the moment he feels the hand touching anywhere but his head he freaks out.
How do I pick my rabbit up from the floor?
Does anyone know what it means for my 1-year-old male rabbit to try to nibble and chase my feet whenever I'm standing and wearing socks? When I'm not wearing socks, he tries to nibble my pants. He's not aggressive and quite cute, but he's been doing this recently.
I’ve tried it all and nothing works so I just taught my bunny how to go into its carrier on command and I just do that anytime it’s an emergency and I need to pick her up
Off topic: you always have very pretty nails, gel?
I do SNS manicures! Thank you!
Trying to pick up my bunny is literally horrible, he freaks out even if I support his back legs he like bolts them back, and then once I finally give up and put him down, he bolts away and hates me for atleast 2 days
My adopted male loves cuddles, because he was adopted as adult and because he is a male
Don’t have permit or something like this
I barely hold my rabbit
Go live please.
