@@thecandyman7807 Oh. Many rabbits in my house, every single one chasing another are male. Female just run around, or sit, or bite and chase others away. 😅
Wait, would it be the wild rabbit whos ranked in this analogy, since it has more 'experience' in the wilderness, or would it be the domesticated one, since it's cleaner and more desireable (from a human perspective at least)?
0:19 the wild rabbit blends in so well even the pet one lost track of him, can see him looking for him and his head turn when the wild one moves a bit like "oh there you are" xD
One thing you have to always remember is that our domesticated rabbits come from European rabbits, European rabbits live in social groups, warrens. Think of watership down. Eastern cottontails are more solitary creatures, the only time they live in family groups is when they are babies. Your domesticated bunny wants to play and make friends and eastern cottontail is like "why are you not fighting me?"the way they fight for territory is they kind of do high jump kick. Domesticated bunny is a little bit slower and chunkier than a wild rabbit but still cute. You need to be careful because wild rabbits can spread diseases to domesticated rabbits.Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is one of those, causes internal bleeding and death. They spread it through direct contact or through shared food. Wild rabbits and domesticated rabbits can't interbreed so you won't have to worry about that.
@@bun4265 I wouldn’t doubt that they have certain feelings towards each other, but why would 1 be ticked off at the other? It could be any feeling, but why ticked off? That seems like our feeling, not necessarily theirs.
For anyone wondering: The house rabbit is curious about the wild rabbit, its sniffing curiously without a sign of lunging, kicking or any aggressive behavior. The wild one is very catious, quickly jumping, running away when the other one gets too close. This is what you'd call a default behavior of a prey animal, se he isn't exactly scared, just wary. They are both curious about each other, thus no aggression other than the accidental kick from the wild rabbit. Side Note: Giving away a rabbit because your family don't consider it fun anymore and saying it would be happier with someone else is the most cowardly thing to do. I rescued a rabbit from one such a person, they my sweet bunny Cuki for their daughter who was 5 years old. But once they got a dog they just kept the poor thing in a cage. There was plenty of space, they just didn't care about him anymore... His nails were overgrown, his fur matted and his teeth needed tending. Their daughter managed to rip one of his nails off and now he doesn't let anything touch them. I rescued him in spite of having 2 other rabbits. Now they're living happily with me in an APARTMENT! I have less space than a family of 5 yet my bunnies have enough space to binky around. Take care of your damn pet, its not a toy for little children.
their agility is insane; there's a video here on youtube of either a rabbit or hare dodging the talons of a fucking *eagle* over and over again and getting away
@@dropthealbummike8713 Maybe they really don't know. They'll hide when there's threat, and their fur helps them camouflage (without them knowing it) Just like tigers and cheetahs when hiding from a targeted prey before jumping at them. They doesn't know about their fur. White tigers do the same, but doesn't know that they're harder to blend because they're white unlike the others
So cute. Did you notice how awesome that wild rabbit's coat was when he was in the sticks and dirt? He matched the background perfectly. If you were looking into the woods I don't think you'd even see him. The wonders of nature are never-ending.
I've been digging around in underbrush for various reasons only to realize there's a rabbit 3ft in front of me that I completely hadn't noticed, more than once
It's a little bit of playing, a little bit of territorial fighting, and possibly a little bit of hormonal activity. The pet rabbit looks like a male and the wild rabbit looks like a female. (It's not 100%, but bucks usually have bigger, thicker heads than does.)
what an odd pair! you'd think either of them would have gotten aggressive at some point. i think your bunny may have been a little more receptive to the idea of playing than the cottontail, though. 🤣
the circling and chasing actually is aggressive behavior! their tails pointed up is a warning sign. i would guess the domestic bunny is getting territorial in his space and you can tell the wild bunny is pretty nervous, albeit still curious

I think the best part of this was hearing the dad and daughter whispering so excitedly behind the camera. Especially when he had his little daughter go run and get his son so he could see too. Made it really feel like a home video, and it just felt like a tiny glimpse into the simplest and sweetest human experiences that we all have in our lives. Seeing something cute or fascinating and feeling like we have to hold our breath, or just barely whisper excitedly to each other in order to preserve the moment.
Hi, I’m spreading the Gospel may you be blessed in JESUS CHRIST name *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

Wild rabbits can carry bacteria and viruses that they’ve built up a natural resistance to but that your rabbit is not immune to. I learned this the hard way, losing my pet rabbit to a very bad case of snuffles after she’d been playing with her wild rabbit friends for several weeks.
The same thing happened to me. Except being a first time rabbit owner I didn’t realize he was sick. I just thought he didn’t like his new food (I switched his food type at the time). It wasn’t until the sneezing and coughing popped up that I noticed. By that time though, it was too late and he died the next day. I feel negligent about it still. If I’d’ve noticed sooner I could’ve helped him. But what’s done is done. I’m glad I learned from it so I can help others with their fluffsters.
I let some of my rabbits free range with my chickens. I have never had a problem with diseases. Even the rabbits that are caged up are in mobile pins so they can eat fresh grass. They come in contact with the thousands of wild rabbits on my land all the time. If you want a really healthy rabbit grow a garden. Grow things that are healthy for rabbits. I feed mine vegetables out the garden all the time.
Those little cotton tails are fighters, I'd be nervous to let a pet around them. The big jackrabbits are really aggressive too. Very cute little interaction

When I was very young and inexperienced, my first pet rabbit ran away. We lived on a fairly large acreage, with plenty of cottontails. I figure it died pretty quickly, but I always found it nice to imagine what interactions it could've had with the wild bunnies.
This reminded me how my childhood pet rabbit ran away, she had an enclosure outside for good summer days but she managed to make a slightly bigger hole in the wire fence to escape. I remember crying my eyes out and scared for her, we lived close to a road that had a lot of large trucks going through as there was a factory close by. We were sure she'd never be found, but after 3 days our neighbor, over on the other side of the truck road, called that she had been found! We hadn't even told them she went missing, as we were sure she wouldn't survive that far, but when the mother of that family was driving home that day, a rabbit came out of a bush on their driveway, the mother wasn't driving fast so she stopped in time to not run over it. She watched in confusion as this rabbit wasn't running away, after a little while she remembered that we had a pet rabbit that looked just like that. She wouldn't let the mother grab her, so they took a cat carrier and lured her in with carrots! I think I cried from happiness as she came home. I still wonder, where did she go and what did she see in those 3 days?
It is possible. I found a rabbit in the wild that based on behavior and size was clearly once a domesticated rabbit that had either escaped or been abandoned. I watched it and its buddy outside my house for a few weeks before I finally took it in. My suspicions on its past were confirmed when it proved to be already potty trained. (Unfortunately, I believe its friend did perish in the wild which was a big reason I took the other rabbit in)
Assuming the climate isn't too harsh, it could have lived. Out in the Pacific North West, my sis lives in a city where someone released domestic rabbits. Not only did they survive they multiplied and they're running wild everywhere.
Such adorable playmates, proving once and for all that domesticity is a privilege when it’s done with love. Still, the wild rabbit isn’t running away and obviously likes the game.

Not an expert but I don’t know
Surprisingly enough they decided not to fight!! I will say that you should never allow your rabbit to interact with a wild rabbit with diseases like RHDV2 out there that could potentially kill your rabbit outright. Also rabbit fights are FAST. Within an instant your rabbit could get a nasty wound or even be killed if they decide to be aggressive enough. I raised rabbits for several years and have seen it all. Very glad they decided they seemed to respect eachother enough to not fight
Agreed. This kinda reminds me of when cats size each other up but never make physical violence..kinda just intimidation till they determine each other of little threat and move on (a lot of animals do this).
@@testerwulf3357 animals understand the fundamental truth of winning every fight you avoid. The best territory in the world is little good to a dead rabbit
Sometimes the pause is when the wild rabbit stood still on the brown patch and camouflaged. I think the white one lost track of where it is. You can see the white one's head suddenly turns to the brown rabbit after it starts moving again.
Cute video. Glad it turned out neither animal got hurt. Both rabbits were showing territorial aggression the fast chasing and circling they were doing is how they size the other bunny up. Most animals have a test of strength before the all out brawl. It is fortunate that the domestic was so much heavier and could not keep up with the wild one. The wild one did not want to get to close to the bigger bunny.
THANK you. Why do all the comments about the domestic rabbit wanting to make a "friend" have all the upvotes? As someone who has bonded rabbits, yes, this comment is spot on. If there was less space between them, there would have definitely been a fight. Maybe people should learn actual animal body language rather than anthropomorphasizing animal behavior. Also, to the video taker, hope you don't live anywhere where there are hawks (and you'd be surprised by their geographic range). As you can clearly see by the staunch differences in coloration and mobility + speed of your domestic bun to the wild one, he's literally a sitting target for predators.
@@Youser999 well, humans are animals too. Our brother and sister creatures also have emotions of love and hate, although a little less consciously than us.
Just a heads up: Wild rabbits can carry many diseases etc. When I was a kid (we lived on the countryside), we had outdoor bunnies and once we saw a wild bunny interact with ours through the fence. A couple days later all of our bunnies started showing signs of myxomatosis and a week later they were all dead :( Domestic rabbits, and especially those that live indoors, already have a weaker immunesystem than their wild counterparts, making them even more prone to diseases.
Yeah same, I've had buns die of it too when a wildie got too close to mine (also lived in the country). It's not a nice way for rabbits to die, I remember cuddling one of my boys as he passed and he could barely breathe, it was horrible. This guy is extremely lucky is irresponsibly didn't lead to his pet catching it, or other diseases, and dying a painful death - not all countries have myx vaccines. I can't imagine putting my pet at risk just because the video might be cute.
@@twilit I'm sorry, but if you're going to be a pet owner, you should not be ignorant. "Probably didn't know" isn't an excuse when you're responsible for another life, that's why every single expert on the planet will tell you to do your research before you get a pet. His ignorance could've caused that rabbit a long, painful death. Would you say the same about a parent with a toddler, who didn't cover their power outlets and later caught their baby sticking things in the holes for fun? No, because as a parent, you should know that you shouldn't leave power outlets exposed around toddlers. It's the same deal here.
@@KoiladaScrewYTHandles they aren’t saying ignorance is okay, they are just saying the rabbit is probably not being put at risk on purpose for the sake of making a video like other comments accused.
The speed, The temperament, The camouflage, the stark differences between the domestic and wild animals is great to see. I feel like I've learnt something while confirming many other beliefs.
The way the wild rabbit tackled the domestic one and fell back was really funny and telling. You could tell the domestic is a big boy but they could never catch the wild rabbit. The wild rabbit has such SPEED that youd think it was ultra instinct omen.

My family actually had two of those cottontails when I was younger! Their names were Peanut Butter and Jelly. My mom and I raised them from babies, when we found them lying on a sidewalk, far away from any grass or shaded areas, presumably left to die because they were teeny tiny. It was a lot of work taking care of them, but they were just so adorable so it was definitely worth it
@@joaopedroferronbravin783 She said she found them on a sidewalk. Yes, rabbit mothers typically "bury" their babies in a makeshift hutch, then stay away as much as possible, only coming around to feed and groom them. This is because adult rabbits carry a scent that predators can detect. Baby rabbits do not carry that scent yet.
This was adorable to watch! 🥰 I would definitely recommend people get at least two pet rabbits, they really do get so much out of another rabbits companionship. We rescued a rabbit that was dumped after Easter, he was so happy to be living with us, but once we him got him a rabbit companion , they were inseparable! Always running around (similar to this video) and would cuddle and groom each other. They were both still extremely bonded to us humans, but rabbits still need a fellow rabbit to have a truly enriched life! ❤

That pet rabbit wouldn't last a day in the wild. It stands out so much it's like a walking advertisement for a fast food restaurant. It's amazing how well the wild rabbit blends into not just the brown grass but the green grass. Sometimes they are in my yard and I don't even see them until they run when I get close.
My childhood rabbit got this (or possibly something similar) - it was like watching him die of the plague with all sorts of gruesome symptoms. He eventually had to be euthanized
You’ve got yourself a little guard rabbit. That’s his yard, his territory and he wanted the interloper gone. His kick-out’s were great and I thought I saw him try to bite once. Fascinating.
This reminds me of our neighbour a few doors down from us, I would walk my children to school and see there domestic bunny out and about in the front yard and on the nature strip. I would often worry about bunny due to a cat or dog killing it, the neighbour didn't care they wanted their bunny to be free. Then at night driving or walking the dog a wild hare would hang around the bunny. I have never seen a wild hare around our neighborhood wild rabbits but not hares. One day bunny wasn't at home and no one knew what happened. Lucky bunny was de-sexed as someone saw hare and bunny down the road. Looks like they ran off together. Then the neighbour got a cat.
We have someone like that near us, but the rabbit just gets a bit of neighborhood time. It's Canada so it's cold most of the year. During the summer they let it roam around the neighborhood during the day but it's funny, any sign of trouble and it runs back to its front door lolol
Crazy to see how athletic the wild rabbit is compared to the house rabbit. Having to duck and dodge birds and dogs and coyotes to survive while the house rabbit wanders a few feet to food and sleep.
I had a wild bunny as a pet once. She was a "present" from my cat. She was so little, with almost no claws and no teeth when I got her. She lived for 7 years and was super tame. She came if you called her name when she ran around free in the house when the cat's where outdoors.
@@nahime4204 just don’t be a clingy or overly nurturing parent and try to allow time for them to learn wild behaviors like searching for their own food and you’ll have given em more a chance than starving or freezing as a baby would’ve
We had a wild rabbit as a pet too It was all great until one day in scratched my hands and made 6 year old me cry then my dad cooked it for lunch I miss him tho
I had this happen to me at a park once. It did not go like this. They actually groomed each other and were more relaxed. I think it helped they were both females.
No, it didn’t have anything to do with gender… doe’s are equally aggressive if not more than males and incredibly territorial. Me and my mom bred rabbits for around seven years and two of the breeding doe’s we had fought once through the bars of their cage. My younger doe was much tinier at the time and got her nose cut open by my older female. It was so deep that she forever lost a chunk of her nose from it.
watch out for any signs of head tilt caused by e cuniculi, it's a pathgeon found in the soil and with wild rabbit population. head tilt can be fatal if not treated quickly.
One of my mothers friends had a rabbit that got this. He lived for about another year and then had to be put down. It was really sad. She had had him for 12 years.
I recall a scene from Watership down when they're trying to find female rabbits for their colony, and they stumble upon a pen of caged rabbits. They remarked on how different the domesticated rabbits acted at first, but I never really understood what they were referring to. This video gave me a lot more clarity on that scene.
Wow. So much difference. The pet is evolved to be cute, chubby, confident, with clean colours and bold markings. The wild one seems a little scruffy and nervous. His coat is pretty good for camouflage and he's wary, but not unfriendly. Pretty wholesome to see the two being playful.
Fun fact: Pet rabbits can't interbreed with wild rabbits. They have different chromosomes where they can't be bred with wild rabbits. Not like dogs, wolves and coyotes where they can interbreed.
Not really. “Wild” is not the correct term to use. It’s “jack rabbit” or “hare” that cant breed with other types of rabbits. There are wild rabbits called Cottontails and they are common to have as pets, besides lop, Flemish giant, lionhead, etc.
For ppl who think they're playing or "being curious" it's not. The tame one is chasing the wild rabbit because it doesn't want the rabbit in its territory. Rabbits are territorial, so the tame one is trying to push the wild one out but the wild one is too fast for it.
If they were "curious" like at the beginning, they'd still be sniffing each other. The wild one let the tame rabbit near it when it was sniffing, when rabbits chase in circles it means one is trying to nip the other, they attack their hinds when they are irritated to try and get them away. The jack doesn't want a fight obvs otherwise the tame rabbit would be done for.
You can see them nipping, doesn't look horrible right now but it can get horrible. After a few minutes the tame one would've made the mistake of trying to bite under the stomach and would've wound up with giant gashes from the jack kicking it. I own a lionhead/lop cross, although I love her, she's VERY aggressive. Other rabbits do not stand a chance around her, and she has beaten the shit out of another rabbit I was looking to adopt (I obvs said no because I didn't want to harm that bunny just because I thought it was cute). That being said, I used to have a male who was extremely docile and tame (males are submissive to females) and when it came around time when he wanted to mate, she made it known she didn't want him by kicking tf outta him. They grew up together so I never thought she would hurt the dude but yeah, I ended up rehoming him. She also is mean to my cat (territorial) when she sees my cat in her space she will try to nip her tail and back legs, (ofc she's a cat so she just simply swats her head and my rabbit freaks out) I know if she were to meet a jack, she would not go down without a nASTY fight. Rabbits are a lot more aggressive than these owners are assuming right now. They do often fight till the death for territory, mating and just getting pissed off at one another.
@@thaloblue actually, the tame one is agitating the wild one by continuously attempting to nip it, as the wild rabbit was just trying to sniff him at the start. Tame one is extra cocky today lolol, little does he know though…

I’d be cautious about letting pets interact with wild animals, regardless if they get along. Wild rabbits can carry diseases and parasites that can hurt pets. Cute interaction, though.
@@halloweenwitch6580 you are probably correct on that. It was a long time ago, and I've learned a lot since then ( I was in college at the time). As it is, luckily,my bunny didn't get hurt or sick from it. She live to be over 8 years old.
Unless that Dwarf Hotot came up to the wild rabbit, I don’t recommend putting your rabbit in situations like this. Even then I recommend keeping your rabbit away from wild rabbits, because rabbits can be extremely territorial, and they may start to fight eachother. In this case, though, luckily, they were not aggressive. So if you know for a fact that neither rabbits will get hurt, it may be fine to do this, but please make sure you know your stuff. Cute video, though!
Im actually way more impressed that your pet rabbit is that loyal to the property because it all looks wide and open. Even for a domestic pet thats almost unheard of
Well with most animals it’s like that cats dogs chickens geese ducks pigs goats turkey peacocks, they know your property is safe and stay there Most animals will rarely run away unless something removes them or distracts/forces them (i.e. a predator chasing a duck of a dog seeing a squirrel)
@@yannickjanssen4307 are you serious? Haven't you ever seen the years and years worth of trail cam footage?

There are endless videos of that too. For anyone reading this, don't trust this persons answer. You're supposed to be cautious when you live in the wild. Friendly doesn't survive in the wild.
I had a pet bunny and would let it out into the yard a couple times a week, it never once left our property line for its whole life. You were a good one Ricky
Don’t be mistaken, these two are fighting. The circling and chasing along with body language are clear signs of a dominance / turf fight. Your rabbit could have been bitten pretty bad.
also looks like the wild one bit the pet 2-3 times, wild rabbit bites can often be quite serious to a domesticated rabbit if not treated and trust me when I say rabbits can kick really hard, that was quite a nasty kick that wild one gave it. Plus it's so hard to check for injury under all the fur. What may have looked all cute and fun for those people was definitely something unknown and stressful for the pet rabbit... They really should've tried to scare the wild one away, the pet was clearly breathing pretty hard near the end. (although I do have a pet rabbit who can totally hold her own and has even killed rats before we got rat proofing, not all pets are as strong) (backing you up here, not saying you don't know, just adding more perspective for others haha)
Thanks for the tip. That particular rabbit's den is the back of my little yard, and I had been watching it every morning hop around eating clover and dandelions. It looked very healthy before I decided to let my pet rabbit play with it. My vet wasn't too concerned when I showed him this video, but he did say, there is a chance to transmit a disease. If they had started fighting I would have broken it up quickly, but yes, you're right; rabbits can occasionally and suddenly get incredibly vicious towards eachother. I've seen it happen with other breeds of domesticated rabbits. My female rabbit is super chill though, and slow.
The worse thing is the opposite. Pets can also transfer house hold disease that it has been exposed to for generations or having treated by medicarion that it wasn’t impacted by it, however wild animals may not have the same resistance or have the luxury of someone curing them, causing the disease to spread among wild population that can easily destroy them all. This is serious problem in my country where cattles are let loose in the forest edge and transfer disease to wild bovines like banteng and gaurs, sometimes causing nasty outbreak in their population.
@@fewerlaws I wouldn't of risked a fight..Could of ended up with a dead bunny or a horribly injured one with possible infections (or diseases) later. Rabbits fight FAST, trust me, you wouldn't of been able to prevent injuries. This was pretty reckless..Even people closer to the rabbits than you were have a hard time preventing fights or bad injuries.. Plus your rabbit can transfer diseases only found in pet ones and bacteria and stuff the wild one isn't used to which could get it VERY sick. So pretty reckless on it's health too.. This didn't really look like friendly behavior in the video, you're actually SUPER lucky your bunny didn't come out with gashes or blind in an eye or something..I wouldn't recommend you let them keep this up, they aren't being friendly and it WILL end in a fight at some point. You can't just throw your bunny in a WILD bunny's territory and not expect a fight. The wild ones aren't normally friendly to others..
Damn! I love how fast wild rabbits are!! Our babies are so much chonkier XD And yall, rabbits don't play or shit around, when you see them circling around eachother they are trying to fight for dominance! I believe the wild rabbit stayed because there was an intruder in its territory? I'm glad all went well, this is still very interesting nontheless!
Domestic rabbit is me pre-quarantine, just wanting to make friends. Wild rabbit is me post-quarantine, fearful and unsure how to react to someone trying to interact with me.
Technically they’re fighting. But the fight is only lasting like 1s, mostly with them chasing each other around. When you see a rabbit go on its hind legs, jumping at another rabbit on its hind legs, that’s how they really fight.
its not fighting but domination. Yes rabbits dominating others is adorable. But when it comes to humans doing it to each other....is it still adorable? Why the double standard? isn't grape still grape no matter who it happens to? our opinion shouldn't change....
I think the wild rabbit thinks they’re fighting and the domestic rabbit has no concept of fighting because domestic rabbits are descended from European rabbits who live in massive colonies but American rabbits are solitary

One thing you have to always remember is that our domesticated rabbits come from European rabbits, European rabbits live in social groups, warrens. Think of watership down. Eastern cottontails are more solitary creatures, the only time they live in family groups is when they are babies. Your domesticated bunny wants to play and make friends and eastern cottontail is like "why are you not fighting me?"the way they fight for territory is they kind of do high jump kick. Domesticated bunny is a little bit slower and chunkier than a wild rabbit but still cute. You need to be careful because wild rabbits can spread diseases to domesticated rabbits.Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is one of those, causes internal bleeding and death. They spread it through direct contact or through shared food. Wild rabbits and domesticated rabbits can't interbreed so you won't have to worry about that.

@@aaronnekrin5150 which 1 do we eat?
For anyone wondering:
The house rabbit is curious about the wild rabbit, its sniffing curiously without a sign of lunging, kicking or any aggressive behavior.
The wild one is very catious, quickly jumping, running away when the other one gets too close. This is what you'd call a default behavior of a prey animal, se he isn't exactly scared, just wary.
They are both curious about each other, thus no aggression other than the accidental kick from the wild rabbit.
Side Note:
Giving away a rabbit because your family don't consider it fun anymore and saying it would be happier with someone else is the most cowardly thing to do.
I rescued a rabbit from one such a person, they my sweet bunny Cuki for their daughter who was 5 years old. But once they got a dog they just kept the poor thing in a cage.
There was plenty of space, they just didn't care about him anymore...
His nails were overgrown, his fur matted and his teeth needed tending. Their daughter managed to rip one of his nails off and now he doesn't let anything touch them.
I rescued him in spite of having 2 other rabbits. Now they're living happily with me in an APARTMENT! I have less space than a family of 5 yet my bunnies have enough space to binky around.

I live near quite a few of them they are hard to see, but the more you see them the easier they are to spot if you notice them around.
It’s why most animals have binocular vision. The depth perception is vital for meat eaters to spot the walking calories.
I don’t know what’s more precious; the little rabbits playing together or the Dad and his little girl enjoying it so much in the background.
It's a little bit of playing, a little bit of territorial fighting, and possibly a little bit of hormonal activity. The pet rabbit looks like a male and the wild rabbit looks like a female. (It's not 100%, but bucks usually have bigger, thicker heads than does.)

The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

Wild rabbits can carry bacteria and viruses that they’ve built up a natural resistance to but that your rabbit is not immune to. I learned this the hard way, losing my pet rabbit to a very bad case of snuffles after she’d been playing with her wild rabbit friends for several weeks.
The same thing happened to me. Except being a first time rabbit owner I didn’t realize he was sick. I just thought he didn’t like his new food (I switched his food type at the time). It wasn’t until the sneezing and coughing popped up that I noticed. By that time though, it was too late and he died the next day. I feel negligent about it still. If I’d’ve noticed sooner I could’ve helped him. But what’s done is done. I’m glad I learned from it so I can help others with their fluffsters.
Exactly, this is very cute, but its also on the list of things to never do with a pet rabbit.
I let some of my rabbits free range with my chickens. I have never had a problem with diseases. Even the rabbits that are caged up are in mobile pins so they can eat fresh grass. They come in contact with the thousands of wild rabbits on my land all the time. If you want a really healthy rabbit grow a garden. Grow things that are healthy for rabbits.

This reminded me how my childhood pet rabbit ran away, she had an enclosure outside for good summer days but she managed to make a slightly bigger hole in the wire fence to escape. I remember crying my eyes out and scared for her, we lived close to a road that had a lot of large trucks going through as there was a factory close by.
We were sure she'd never be found, but after 3 days our neighbor, over on the other side of the truck road, called that she had been found!
We hadn't even told them she went missing, as we were sure she wouldn't survive that far, but when the mother of that family was driving home that day, a rabbit came out of a bush on their driveway, the mother wasn't driving fast so she stopped in time to not run over it. She watched in confusion as this rabbit wasn't running away, after a little while she remembered that we had a pet rabbit that looked just like that. She wouldn't let the mother grab her, so they took a cat carrier and lured her in with carrots! I think I cried from happiness as she came home.

It is possible. I found a rabbit in the wild that based on behavior and size was clearly once a domesticated rabbit that had either escaped or been abandoned. I watched it and its buddy outside my house for a few weeks before I finally took it in. My suspicions on its past were confirmed when it proved to be already potty trained. (Unfortunately, I believe its friend did perish in the wild which was a big reason I took the other rabbit in)
Assuming the climate isn't too harsh, it could have lived. Out in the Pacific North West, my sis lives in a city where someone released domestic rabbits. Not only did they survive they multiplied and they're running wild everywhere.

I will say that you should never allow your rabbit to interact with a wild rabbit with diseases like RHDV2 out there that could potentially kill your rabbit outright. Also rabbit fights are FAST. Within an instant your rabbit could get a nasty wound or even be killed if they decide to be aggressive enough. I raised rabbits for several years and have seen it all.

I love it when two animals are playing or fighting and every 15 seconds they come to the mutual pause. Why do they do that
Testing each other. Determining friend, neutral, foe, or lover. They will also freeze if they hear a possible predator
Sometimes the pause is when the wild rabbit stood still on the brown patch and camouflaged. I think the white one lost track of where it is. You can see the white one's head suddenly turns to the brown rabbit after it starts moving again.
It’s their idle animation. It plays while waiting for the rest of their code to load in.
Cute video. Glad it turned out neither animal got hurt. Both rabbits were showing territorial aggression the fast chasing and circling they were doing is how they size the other bunny up. Most animals have a test of strength before the all out brawl. It is fortunate that the domestic was so much heavier and could not keep up with the wild one. The wild one did not want to get to close to the bigger bunny.
circling is also a mating ritual, my rabbit used to circle a cat she loved, pissed the cat off after a short while.
th-cam.com/video/XKhXosaZGB8/w-d-xo.html here's Coco and her white cat friend.
Another comment said the opposite. It said the wild one is solitary and wanted to be left alone while the domestic one wanted to be social
THANK you. Why do all the comments about the domestic rabbit wanting to make a "friend" have all the upvotes? As someone who has bonded rabbits, yes, this comment is spot on. If there was less space between them, there would have definitely been a fight. Maybe people should learn actual animal body language rather than anthropomorphasizing animal behavior. Also, to the video taker, hope you don't live anywhere where there are hawks (and you'd be surprised by their geographic range). As you can clearly see by the staunch differences in coloration and mobility + speed of your domestic bun to the wild one, he's literally a sitting target for predators.
@@Youser999 well, humans are animals too. Our brother and sister creatures also have emotions of love and hate, although a little less consciously than us.
Just a heads up: Wild rabbits can carry many diseases etc. When I was a kid (we lived on the countryside), we had outdoor bunnies and once we saw a wild bunny interact with ours through the fence. A couple days later all of our bunnies started showing signs of myxomatosis and a week later they were all dead :( Domestic rabbits, and especially those that live indoors, already have a weaker immunesystem than their wild counterparts, making them even more prone to diseases.

Would you say the same about a parent with a toddler, who didn't cover their power outlets and later caught their baby sticking things in the holes for fun? No, because as a parent, you should know that you shouldn't leave power outlets exposed around toddlers. It's the same deal here.
Weren't they vaccinated?
@@KoiladaScrewYTHandles they aren’t saying ignorance is okay, they are just saying the rabbit is probably not being put at risk on purpose for the sake of making a video like other comments accused.
The whispering behind the camera makes this 😂
The speed,
The temperament,
The camouflage,
the stark differences between the domestic and wild animals is great to see. I feel like I've learnt something while confirming many other beliefs.
Domestic rabbits come from europe, it isnt all human interfere
The way the wild rabbit tackled the domestic one and fell back was really funny and telling.
You could tell the domestic is a big boy but they could never catch the wild rabbit. The wild rabbit has such SPEED that youd think it was ultra instinct omen.

It was a HARE
@@monicacarolina6480 I don't see color or race, yo

Your rabbit could get myxomatosis form the wild rabbit. Make sure its protected against this disease.
Here in Australia Myxomatosis is rampant in the wild rabbit population.

Not quite rampant enough though.
@@NathanChisholm041 In the USA, the native Cottontail rabbits are carriers of cottontail rabbit papilloma virus as in they are often asymptomatic when they are infected with it. You don't want them anywhere near domestic rabbits
@@clarehidalgo I don't have rabbits but I work on the land and have seen first-hand how the end up almost gonners. Rabbits are not native and do so much damage over here in Australia...
make sure you always take any pet, regardless of species, to the vet after interacting with a wild counterpart... they can catch all sorts of diseases and parasites. this video is absolutely amazing, fyi, and im not trying to denigrate it
In the beginning the wild one was aggressive, but the white one is bigger and so they made up. They are really playing. So cute! 🌞Also the voices in the background are very cute. 🌷🌻🌸
I was about to say pretty much the same thing! 🙂
Yeah, there's a tiny bit of sparring there - very fleeting, I found it fascinating, I know next to nothing about rabbits! :D
As someone who owns rabbits - they were definitely fighting the whole time, they are excited but not in a happy way! Rabbits are super territorial.
@@BunnyQueen97 Very interesting. It just seemed to me, that the white one became calmer in the process. They would not kill each other, would they? I used to have rabbits as a small child, but sadly enough they had not much opportunity to interact. They were in their boxes most of the time wich is vorbidden now. Nevertheless I bonded with these magnificent animals beeing able to play with their young. Later on my uncle lost the parcel and I do not know what became of the rabbits.
@@claranimmer7349 Oh no, rabbits will 100% murder each other. If you get two unbonded bunnies and have them locked up or in a situation where they can't get away from each other, you will come home to at least one dead bunny.
They are honestly harder to bond to each other than cats are.
My family actually had two of those cottontails when I was younger! Their names were Peanut Butter and Jelly. My mom and I raised them from babies, when we found them lying on a sidewalk, far away from any grass or shaded areas, presumably left to die because they were teeny tiny. It was a lot of work taking care of them, but they were just so adorable so it was definitely worth it
If they were in a hole so they were safe, because the mom comes 1-2 times a day to feed and clean then(sorry for my bad english)
oh my gosh we had 2 guinea pigs named that
@@joaopedroferronbravin783
She said she found them on a sidewalk.
Yes, rabbit mothers typically "bury" their babies in a makeshift hutch, then stay away as much as possible, only coming around to feed and groom them. This is because adult rabbits carry a scent that predators can detect. Baby rabbits do not carry that scent yet.
@@Just1American1966 understood, have a great day
Did they let you stroke them and stuff or where they like the rabbit version of raising wolves?
This was adorable to watch! 🥰 I would definitely recommend people get at least two pet rabbits, they really do get so much out of another rabbits companionship. We rescued a rabbit that was dumped after Easter, he was so happy to be living with us, but once we him got him a rabbit companion , they were inseparable! Always running around (similar to this video) and would cuddle and groom each other. They were both still extremely bonded to us humans, but rabbits still need a fellow rabbit to have a truly enriched life! ❤
@Sanakudou, I totally agree with you! I really think the same can be said for all pets 💝
Were they both male?
Mhm. Rodents like Guinea Pigs and rabbits are social animals. They get lonely if there’s only one, no matter how much attention you give them. Why are they such Cuddlies?!?! 🥹🤗😭😍
White bunny wanted to penetrate the other one. So adorable.
How do you do their toilet things?
My pet rabit left their 💩 everyvere, even in my bed! 🙄
Very lovely animal, but her 💩 in my bed and even urine on floor 5 times a day and urine even in my bed- it is crazzzyyy!
I hope your pet didn’t get fleas. The rabbits carry them to the domestic pets, I found out…the hard way! 😬
Still, this is too adorable! ❤
he does not care he is disowning the rabbit after 5 years because his little girl is no longer "charmed" by it and he ""does not want it in the living room" so they stuff it in a basement now miserably
@NotWatchingTV Damn, you're right. What a nasty person, the rabbit deserves so much better than this 'family' 😢
@@NotWatchingTVnot saying this isn't cruel; their getting rid of it somewhat because their kid doesn't like rabbits anymore, which is cruel, but it also says his wife is allergic to rabbits so it kind of makes sense
none of it makes sense they have had it for years quit trying to vouch for something that s*cks... is what it is.. sadly. They bought it as an ornament and are treating its life worth as a piece of trash@@ulfthe_destroyer5109
What !!!! Give it away to someone who will love it
That pet rabbit wouldn't last a day in the wild. It stands out so much it's like a walking advertisement for a fast food restaurant. It's amazing how well the wild rabbit blends into not just the brown grass but the green grass. Sometimes they are in my yard and I don't even see them until they run when I get close.
Omg it's like this rabbit is a totally different breed
It's got snow camo.
It was a HARE
It’s just a matter of environment

Agreed. Rabbit fights are no joke. Especially one of them is wild.

So adorable! Seems like such a peaceful spot to observe nature 😃
Well it would be! This gigantic mutant bunny keeps chasing everyone
A very dangerous thing to do though as wild rabbits can carry mixamotosis fleas which is a very unpleasant death for any rabbit.
Thank you and RHDV and variants of it in some places
My childhood rabbit got this (or possibly something similar) - it was like watching him die of the plague with all sorts of gruesome symptoms. He eventually had to be euthanized
Not to mention cottontail rabbit papilloma virus, cancer causing virus that cotton tails carry with little to no symptoms
And humans can carry guns, which can cause horrible deaths, but you won't stop meeting other humans just because that, will you, human?
@@abnegazher shut up
You’ve got yourself a little guard rabbit. That’s his yard, his territory and he wanted the interloper gone. His kick-out’s were great and I thought I saw him try to bite once. Fascinating.
This reminds me of our neighbour a few doors down from us, I would walk my children to school and see there domestic bunny out and about in the front yard and on the nature strip. I would often worry about bunny due to a cat or dog killing it, the neighbour didn't care they wanted their bunny to be free. Then at night driving or walking the dog a wild hare would hang around the bunny. I have never seen a wild hare around our neighborhood wild rabbits but not hares.
One day bunny wasn't at home and no one knew what happened. Lucky bunny was de-sexed as someone saw hare and bunny down the road. Looks like they ran off together. Then the neighbour got a cat.
What an interesting story. Thanks for sharing!
The neighbor wanted to destroy the traitor and their friends?
Sad people get pets being irresponsible and knowing nothing about them.
We have someone like that near us, but the rabbit just gets a bit of neighborhood time.
It's Canada so it's cold most of the year.
During the summer they let it roam around the neighborhood during the day but it's funny, any sign of trouble and it runs back to its front door lolol
@@wonwon3251 Yeah that's not okay. It's sad. Some people shouldn't have animals.
Should have muted yourselves
Then watch the video on mute weirdo
Crazy to see how athletic the wild rabbit is compared to the house rabbit. Having to duck and dodge birds and dogs and coyotes to survive while the house rabbit wanders a few feet to food and sleep.
Unless something nabs it in the yard. 😳
They are different breeds. Like comparing a poodle to a wolf
Or an American to a Kenyan
I had a wild bunny as a pet once. She was a "present" from my cat. She was so little, with almost no claws and no teeth when I got her. She lived for 7 years and was super tame. She came if you called her name when she ran around free in the house when the cat's where outdoors.
@@nahime4204 just don’t be a clingy or overly nurturing parent and try to allow time for them to learn wild behaviors like searching for their own food and you’ll have given em more a chance than starving or freezing as a baby would’ve

It was all great until one day in scratched my hands and made 6 year old me cry then my dad cooked it for lunch
I miss him tho
@@dv9239 what is wrong with your dad oh my gosh, that’s horrible.
I had this happen to me at a park once. It did not go like this. They actually groomed each other and were more relaxed. I think it helped they were both females.
Most of time female rabbits are a lot more territorial than male bunnys. I've had female and male bunnys and the female always dominated them all :D
Rabbits don't have a lot of differences in behavior between gender tbfh.
it had nothing to do with the gender but rather the temperament
No, it didn’t have anything to do with gender… doe’s are equally aggressive if not more than males and incredibly territorial. Me and my mom bred rabbits for around seven years and two of the breeding doe’s we had fought once through the bars of their cage. My younger doe was much tinier at the time and got her nose cut open by my older female. It was so deep that she forever lost a chunk of her nose from it.
Don't think this is a great idea. Wild rabbits often carry parasites that could transfer to your domestic one.
watch out for any signs of head tilt caused by e cuniculi, it's a pathgeon found in the soil and with wild rabbit population. head tilt can be fatal if not treated quickly.
Did you see a head tilt in the video?
@@ACDBunnie no, but once head tilt starts it would be irreversible, and can reduce quality of life for rabbits, hence the need to prevent it.
One of my mothers friends had a rabbit that got this. He lived for about another year and then had to be put down. It was really sad. She had had him for 12 years.
@@MONNSTROSITY what breed was he can I ask, 12 years is a long time for a rabbit. Your mom's friend looked after him well.
I recall a scene from Watership down when they're trying to find female rabbits for their colony, and they stumble upon a pen of caged rabbits.
They remarked on how different the domesticated rabbits acted at first, but I never really understood what they were referring to. This video gave me a lot more clarity on that scene.
They get those hutch rabbits in the book but not the animated movie... I think Bigwig and Silver fighting over Clover leads them to Efrafa.
Me too!! I was thinking of that exact scene while watching this!
Yep same
I was looking for this comment.
Pet bunny: bro chill out
Wild rabbit: EVERYTHING WANTS TO EAT ME
Wow. So much difference. The pet is evolved to be cute, chubby, confident, with clean colours and bold markings. The wild one seems a little scruffy and nervous. His coat is pretty good for camouflage and he's wary, but not unfriendly. Pretty wholesome to see the two being playful.
Fun fact: Pet rabbits can't interbreed with wild rabbits. They have different chromosomes where they can't be bred with wild rabbits. Not like dogs, wolves and coyotes where they can interbreed.
ehhhh depends. only really true for America. in Europe, not really, since we got european rabbits, who domestic ones are descended from.
Not really. “Wild” is not the correct term to use. It’s “jack rabbit” or “hare” that cant breed with other types of rabbits. There are wild rabbits called Cottontails and they are common to have as pets, besides lop, Flemish giant, lionhead, etc.
Explain why my bunny got knocked up by a wild rabbit
They breed together where I live.
It's a hare that is different, rabbits can cross breed.
For ppl who think they're playing or "being curious" it's not. The tame one is chasing the wild rabbit because it doesn't want the rabbit in its territory. Rabbits are territorial, so the tame one is trying to push the wild one out but the wild one is too fast for it.
If they were "curious" like at the beginning, they'd still be sniffing each other. The wild one let the tame rabbit near it when it was sniffing, when rabbits chase in circles it means one is trying to nip the other, they attack their hinds when they are irritated to try and get them away. The jack doesn't want a fight obvs otherwise the tame rabbit would be done for.
You can see them nipping, doesn't look horrible right now but it can get horrible. After a few minutes the tame one would've made the mistake of trying to bite under the stomach and would've wound up with giant gashes from the jack kicking it.
I own a lionhead/lop cross, although I love her, she's VERY aggressive. Other rabbits do not stand a chance around her, and she has beaten the shit out of another rabbit I was looking to adopt (I obvs said no because I didn't want to harm that bunny just because I thought it was cute). That being said, I used to have a male who was extremely docile and tame (males are submissive to females) and when it came around time when he wanted to mate, she made it known she didn't want him by kicking tf outta him. They grew up together so I never thought she would hurt the dude but yeah, I ended up rehoming him. She also is mean to my cat (territorial) when she sees my cat in her space she will try to nip her tail and back legs, (ofc she's a cat so she just simply swats her head and my rabbit freaks out) I know if she were to meet a jack, she would not go down without a nASTY fight. Rabbits are a lot more aggressive than these owners are assuming right now. They do often fight till the death for territory, mating and just getting pissed off at one another.
The domestic rabbit is like “dude stop! please i said stop! This is my house you cant hang”
The wild rabbit is like “ok do something about it lol”
@@thaloblue actually, the tame one is agitating the wild one by continuously attempting to nip it, as the wild rabbit was just trying to sniff him at the start. Tame one is extra cocky today lolol, little does he know though…

I’d be cautious about letting pets interact with wild animals, regardless if they get along. Wild rabbits can carry diseases and parasites that can hurt pets.
Cute interaction, though.
Your forgetting that domesticated animals can also bring disease to wild animals.
So neither is good.
Also anytime some predator can come and swoop the unlucky one not paying attention

@@halloweenwitch6580 you are probably correct on that. It was a long time ago, and I've learned a lot since then ( I was in college at the time). As it is, luckily,my bunny didn't get hurt or sick from it. She live to be over 8 years old.
Pet rabbit: hey you look preeeetty
Wild rabbit: gonaway
Unless that Dwarf Hotot came up to the wild rabbit, I don’t recommend putting your rabbit in situations like this. Even then I recommend keeping your rabbit away from wild rabbits, because rabbits can be extremely territorial, and they may start to fight eachother. In this case, though, luckily, they were not aggressive. So if you know for a fact that neither rabbits will get hurt, it may be fine to do this, but please make sure you know your stuff. Cute video, though!

pet rabbits rarely run away. it may escape its' living quarters but will usually return unless it's being mistreated
Well with most animals it’s like that cats dogs chickens geese ducks pigs goats turkey peacocks, they know your property is safe and stay there
Most animals will rarely run away unless something removes them or distracts/forces them (i.e. a predator chasing a duck of a dog seeing a squirrel)
@@yannickjanssen4307 are you serious? Haven't you ever seen the years and years worth of trail cam footage?
What you're talking about doesn't even really apply to domestic animals anyway and that's what we're talking about. Domestic animals are almost as likely to run away. There are endless videos of that too.
For anyone reading this, don't trust this persons answer. You're supposed to be cautious when you live in the wild. Friendly doesn't survive in the wild.

Wild bun: trying it's hardest to throw hands
Pet bun: yay are we playing tag!? (≧▽≦)
Don’t be mistaken, these two are fighting. The circling and chasing along with body language are clear signs of a dominance / turf fight. Your rabbit could have been bitten pretty bad.
also looks like the wild one bit the pet 2-3 times, wild rabbit bites can often be quite serious to a domesticated rabbit if not treated and trust me when I say rabbits can kick really hard, that was quite a nasty kick that wild one gave it. Plus it's so hard to check for injury under all the fur. What may have looked all cute and fun for those people was definitely something unknown and stressful for the pet rabbit... They really should've tried to scare the wild one away, the pet was clearly breathing pretty hard near the end. (although I do have a pet rabbit who can totally hold her own and has even killed rats before we got rat proofing, not all pets are as strong)
(backing you up here, not saying you don't know, just adding more perspective for others haha)
Yeah this vid seems like a really stupid irresponsible thing to do
I'd also be pretty wary of the risk of myxomatosis.

Please keep your pet Away From WILD animals, they may transfer zoonotic illnesses and this encounter may result in a fatal fight.
Thanks for the tip. That particular rabbit's den is the back of my little yard, and I had been watching it every morning hop around eating clover and dandelions. It looked very healthy before I decided to let my pet rabbit play with it. My vet wasn't too concerned when I showed him this video, but he did say, there is a chance to transmit a disease. If they had started fighting I would have broken it up quickly, but yes, you're right; rabbits can occasionally and suddenly get incredibly vicious towards eachother. I've seen it happen with other breeds of domesticated rabbits. My female rabbit is super chill though, and slow.
@@fewerlaws yeah, it's good that you care so much
The worse thing is the opposite. Pets can also transfer house hold disease that it has been exposed to for generations or having treated by medicarion that it wasn’t impacted by it, however wild animals may not have the same resistance or have the luxury of someone curing them, causing the disease to spread among wild population that can easily destroy them all.
This is serious problem in my country where cattles are let loose in the forest edge and transfer disease to wild bovines like banteng and gaurs, sometimes causing nasty outbreak in their population.
@@waranontwiwaha9385 yeah that also is true
@@fewerlaws I wouldn't of risked a fight..Could of ended up with a dead bunny or a horribly injured one with possible infections (or diseases) later. Rabbits fight FAST, trust me, you wouldn't of been able to prevent injuries. This was pretty reckless..Even people closer to the rabbits than you were have a hard time preventing fights or bad injuries..
Plus your rabbit can transfer diseases only found in pet ones and bacteria and stuff the wild one isn't used to which could get it VERY sick. So pretty reckless on it's health too..
This didn't really look like friendly behavior in the video, you're actually SUPER lucky your bunny didn't come out with gashes or blind in an eye or something..I wouldn't recommend you let them keep this up, they aren't being friendly and it WILL end in a fight at some point. You can't just throw your bunny in a WILD bunny's territory and not expect a fight. The wild ones aren't normally friendly to others..
Damn! I love how fast wild rabbits are!! Our babies are so much chonkier XD
And yall, rabbits don't play or shit around, when you see them circling around eachother they are trying to fight for dominance! I believe the wild rabbit stayed because there was an intruder in its territory?
I'm glad all went well, this is still very interesting nontheless!
your bun: I see a new friend to play with!

Domestic rabbit is me pre-quarantine, just wanting to make friends. Wild rabbit is me post-quarantine, fearful and unsure how to react to someone trying to interact with me.
I can't tell if they're fighting or playing but its adorable.
Technically they’re fighting. But the fight is only lasting like 1s, mostly with them chasing each other around. When you see a rabbit go on its hind legs, jumping at another rabbit on its hind legs, that’s how they really fight.
Fighting :-(
its not fighting but domination. Yes rabbits dominating others is adorable. But when it comes to humans doing it to each other....is it still adorable? Why the double standard? isn't grape still grape no matter who it happens to? our opinion shouldn't change....
@@ravinraven6913 you need a break from the internet, or at least social media
