You should buy a play pen instead of a cage

Rose Atkins true
• C H A R L I E • who are you even talking to
YEAH IKR
Most rabbit experts will tell you that cage is a BAD idea. He doesn't have enough room to do much of anything other then eat and lay down. Rabbits need lots of room to stand and move around, or he can develop major join issues, obesity, and other health problems. I know you let him out to play but that's not really enough. He needs to be able to move well at ALL times not just during playtime. Most owners get rabbits thinking they are a low maintenance pet but they are not. They are indeed HIGH maintenance. Also be sure to get a list of things he can and cant eat. There are veggies that can hurt his tummy.
Twisted Wytch a real rabbit educator will tell you that each rabbits enclosure space should be considered based on the rabbit. A great resource is The House Rabbit Society, there minimum standards are "one guideline to go by is at least 8 square feet of enclosure space combined with at least at least 24 square feet of exercise space, for 1-2 rabbits, in which the rabbit(s) can run and play at least 5 hours per day." You should select a cage size based on the size of exercise space & lifestyle. Your rabbit needs a good enclosure & exercise time. You don’t have to free roam to have a happy pet.
Tiffany’s Bunny Gang YES! I love the house rabbit society
This is soooo true!!!
@@TiffanysBunnyGang use but the cage this girl has is way to small to play
@@jaynahub8287 that’s why I gave information & resources on how to select a cage that is a good size for a bunny. Also as I commented before when you first bring a bunny home it’s good to start them in a smaller space so they don’t get stressed and increase their housing after an adjustment & litter training period.
Bunnies are majestic fluff balls
Rose Mansfield do you get sick of bunnies or no
Your icon is majestic
Hey! Your new baby is BEAUTIFUL. I adopted a bunny last year and learned so much through Facebook groups , I definitely recommend joining some so you can learn tips on how to take care of Lumos from other people's experience. A few key things, bunnies should have a plethora of hay 24/7 , they need to constantly eat so if you ever notice him refusing to eat, thats a warning sign. I dont want to scare you but thats crucial to know. So what you have is good, but you might have to refill the hay several times a day. I literally have tubs all around my apartment so my bunny Oreo has plenty. Also cages can be fine but bunnies need lots of room to grow and thrive so if you can you should consider eventually making Lumos cage free once he knows his litter box area and everything. I know thats not always a possibility but he will at least need lots of time out of his cage to run and play. My relationship with my bun is so strong and amazing ever since i got rid of the cage. Bunnies are such fun amazing pets and they each have such strong personalities so I cant wait to see Lumos’ life with you :)
Thank you so much for writing this all out! I actually do plan to have Lumos cage free once he gets a bit older and learns to not get into too much trouble haha :)
Jess Medley yes definitely they can be quite mischievous haha but so precious! Good luck and have fun with him :)
Jess Medley yes, cage free is great but it’s a process. In my opinion it is a good starter pen for when a bunny first comes home, especially a rescue. It seems to be over the 8sq.ft. minimum recommendation from the house bunny society. As with most pet & bunny owners I am sure there will be many improvements & adjustments over time as u get to know ur bunny. He is adorable. Thanks for Sharing the bunny love! BTW, I live in the Tampa Bay Area.
How much is it to adopt or rescue a bunny
One of my rabbits is called Oreo
Very pretty bunny just get a bigger hay rack ❤️
I'm leaving this comment because I haven't seen your other videos, but it doesn't seem like you've made an update, so I have no clue if you've made adjustments or not. He needs a much bigger enclosure! Bunnies need tons of room, and it's not up to me to decide that free roaming is best for you, but if you can I'd highly recommend it. If you can't then make sure to build him a much bigger space and let him out for play time as much as you possibly can. Bunnies need several hours of play time outside of their enclosure every day! He also needs unlimited hay, and lots of veggies! I didn't see a water bottle in your cage which is good! The resources you mentioned are all great, I'm just surprised that you didn't seem to know some of these things, especially since they're so important to your bunnies health and well-being. In the end taking care of an animal takes trial and error, and I hope that this helped. Good Luck!
I'm personaly not a fan of keeping rabbits in cages since they get stressed more easily but as long as he gets to come out and run around and stuff for at least four or five hours a day and spend time with you, it should be all good.
Congrats by the way! rabbits are an underappreciated pet and the third most abandoned pet next to cats and dogs. especially around Easter and Christmas. since so many people buy them on impulse and don't realize how high maintennance they are. they are sensitive to the weather and predators outdoors. which is why I don't like the idea of keeping a rabbit outdoor in a hutch without proper shade or shelter, and proper protection. But its okay and I'm happy to see how good you're doing.
I keep my bunnies outside in a hutch. My family forces me to, even though we have a hole room that was a garage used for pets. I love them too much to rehouse them so it tears me apart every day cause they don't get the life they deserve. I just wish once my family would listen to me.
Just cute videos Of my pets, no strings sorry, that’s always a hard situation.
I feel like a large dog ex pen would be good or those c&c diy things would be good has long if they can be outside of it for at least 2-5 hours a day
i dont need ur opinion
i agree with u but stop lying, they don’t get stressed easily it depends on the type of rabbit,
Am I the only one who’s heart melts when rabbits clean themselves
he is SO CUTE but you should get a much bigger cage soon like a dog play pen and LOTS more hay in his litter box
that cage is big enough.
Awe u got him from a rescue ❤️ I’m so glad I always see people buying rabbits from stores and not having (proper) things for them. It’s good to see u having all the things they need ! He is extremely adorable!
I just got one from a rescue today!
Just wanted to give my take based on facts and research regarding some of the comments here.
1. When you first bring a bunny home you should start them in a smaller enclosure so they don’t get stressed.
2. After an adjustment period of about a week. according to the House Rabbit Society, "one guideline to go by is at least 8 square feet of enclosure space combined with at least at least 24 square feet of exercise space, for 1-2 rabbits, in which the rabbit(s) can run and play at least 5 hours per day." You should select a cage size based on the size of exercise space & lifestyle.
3. Spinach is high in oxalic acid but an ok leafy green & nutritious. It should be be fed in smaller quantities than other greens but it is NOT unsafe to feed spinach to you rabbit.
It is obvious that she has done research & will make improvements as she grows with the bunny & learns his personality. 🐰❤️
Bunnies are amazing and a big commitment after you get them you need to give them your all
OMG when i heard the spongebob musical I squealed😂 Ive been so obsessed with it lately!
It is sooo good!!
Note: the hay should be filled up to the top but that much is also really good!
my god that has to be one of the cutest buns i've ever seen. he is precious!
I’m getting a bunny soon and also happening to be naming him lumos! He is a orange and white holland lop and I am very excited. He will be free roaming in my room with everything he wants and needs so I can make sure he is a super happy bun. I also happen to adore Harry Potter so I love the name. Thanks for the video!! ❤️
Lumos MAXIMA😍😍😍😍😍
Ohmygoodness he is so cuteee i'm melting and my heart can't manage the adorableness😍😍❤❤
That's so good that you adopted!
I am getting a bunny in 2-4 months and im so exited i have been re searching for like 6 months now and im gonna spend the rest of these months getting anything i have missed ! :)
I watch lennon the bunny, too. I want to get 2 bunnies in a few months and want to let them live free in my flat. Animals in generell don't belong in cages and i like it when people take really good care for their pets. Parrot post (she first used to have 3 cockatiels) and now she also has 3 bunnies, so it's a full house 😄, is really worth watching it. Or Alex the honking bird, or pipkin the rabbit, so many people now really show on youtube how to take good care of animals, and that they are not fun toys like lots of other youtube videos show. Hope the message of those youtubers will spread around the world and make a change for so many pets that are sadly more like toys for them, than that they are livings.
I am so glad she Rescued
So adorable!
Cute rabbits ♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️
So cute!!! Glad you adopted a bunny . 😊🐰🐇🐾🌼🌷🌞🌝
That's such a cute rabbit :) And you seem like a great owner !
Get a big play pen. I really recommend it and always let them have play time and let them out so they can explore! Also, I recommend watching Lennon the bunny! My sister has a bunny named Peanut and she has a huge pen with a water bowl and a food bowl. Always give them veggies daily and sometimes for a reward give them a treat! Make sure to not over feed the bunny and give it a good balanced diet. It should have access to food and water at all times. The bunny should also have some toys and a litter box that isn’t too small. Never use a crate it is not good
That bunny is so graceful!🥰
Just for a chart they should have 80% hay 15% greens and 5% treats or pellets
He is so cute, and I cared for my rabbit the same way when i got my bunny, but i have some tips that you should be doing: get him a MUCH bigger hay rack, move the litter box, GET HIM WATER, give him a cup of leafy greens per 2 pounds, and a bigger hiding hole. Thanks!
If he’s young and still need to be litter trained then it’s good you have a smaller cage so that he doesn’t pee everywhere because he doesn’t have the choice to pee in a big place. That what my family is doing rn for our 2 month old. We had a huge cage for it first (fits a German Shepard) but it wasn’t working out as she was peeing everywhere and pooping and spilling water. Now with the smaller cage she actually goes in litter box. Of course when she’s a lot bigger (probably a year old) we will transfer her back to the big cage.
Wow Lumos is such a beautiful bun!!! His coat is gorgeous and he’s so adorable!!! I really hope my parents will let me get a bun! 💖
Sonia C did you end up getting a bunny? I am trying to get one too! :)
Tessa Wessa Yes I’ve had a bunny for a year and a half now! His name is Jasper and his coat is broken cream :))) I hope you get a bunny soon! :))
@@SoniaChaudery thats so cute
*OMG HE IS SO ADORABLE I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE HIM* 😍
Omg he is too precious
He looks like my bun bun Peter but with much darker brown spots! So cute, rabbits make amazing pets especially when you gain their trust! My bun loves to cuddle and spend time with me.✨🐰✨
I love rabbits. I have a rescued female rabbit called Angel. Her family were attacked by a nasty cat and poor Angel became an orphan and most of her siblings died too. My friend who is a breeder was called up and rescued the surviving bunnies. I visited her just after she was rescued. I gave her and her siblings hugs and prayers. I met Angel when she was only three weeks old. I visited her nearly every day for a week, I think I just missed one day. I adopted her when she was four weeks old. Angel and I have bonded. She loves me. She is nearly a year and a half . Her birthday is January the 14th. I love her so very much. Cute rabbit. He is handsome. I am buying her a male companion in a couple weeks time. I am calling him Jefrin
I'M IN LOVE OH MY GOODNESS
Omg his head is like cookies and cream lol 😂
Some bunny community advice... the hay rack you should probably switch out with a hay rack off of small pets select.. and as well as making pace larger even if you are planning on free roam..also what the “Lennon the bunny “ it’s a lovely rabbit care channel with so much advice!
I don’t mean to sound bossy but his litter box need more hay, other than that Lumos is so cute! I love him!
He’s so precious🖤🖤🖤
HES SO CUTE OMG
So adorable
So happy to see someone with good knowledge about rabbits before they get them. The cage could be a little bigger but I'm sure he will get plenty of time out the cage
Best of luck with your new buns!!!!! ❤️🐇🐰
Aw you’re taking such good care of him
Spinach is okay from time to time, but since it's high in oxalic acid, it should be rotated with greens that are low in oxalic acid (like kale, leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, cilantro, oak lettuce) there's tons of lists online that talk about which greens are high in oxalic acid and which are low in it. RabbitHouseSociety is a great source.
I named my owl doll from universal studios lumos because it's the light of my life
I'd love to see an update on things you've learned after owning a bun over the years!! 💖
It doesn’t appear she has the rabbit anymore.
I’ve had a total of three bunnies, and the one I have right now is named Spot. I got him when I was very little so he’s pretty old, but he’s still a cute fluff ball :3
Aww He's sooo cute!!! 🐇❤🐇❤🐇
I have 2 bunnies and one name is luminous and lilac these names are quite different but i love them
Okay so some tips
Firstly I recommend that you get a bigger hay rack since a bunny’s diet has 80% hay, and you want your bun to be able to get hay whenever he wants and to not struggle while doing so
Even though that is not a cage, you should really consider free-roaming your bun, it will not cost much since you probably already have most of the bunny-proofing supplies. Free roaming your bunny is a very good idea, you will not believe how much better your relationship with Lumos will become including his personality. Also since he is kept by himself, you have to become like roommates with him, you have to become the other bunny and you can’t do that with just playtime.
adorable
I have 2 rabbits and when you get them you should put them in a pen! They also can’t have any type of vegetable until 8 months old because it can hurt there tummy! Bunnies should have free room after a week or 2 in the play pen. Hope this helps
oh and that's not enough hay i thought u watched lemon the bunny and she gives ALOOTTT of hayyyy!!!
OMG THAT BUNNY IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!
I got a bunny last year and I love him so MUCH! *He's in a lot of my videos!*
The fact she gave her address away 😂😂
Ye i watched all of lennons channel and 101 some videos. Its great info
He’s so adorable
Try maybe a dog exercise pen you can find them on amazon for around 35 pound and theyre a great size and can be turned into any size and give a rabbit more room
Super cute bunny and love the name idea!! 💕.
Hello, Lumos!🐇
I LOVE BUNNIES!
so cute
Your bunny is so freaking cute and I’m so happy for u!!
So cute I just recomend filling up the hay to the rim in the litter box and make the cage bigger he needs to have place to run around and binkie and also make the hiding house bigger cause he is a big breed of bunny and he needs more space in it
Parents: bunny your adopted
Bunny: impossible I'm not adopted you liar
Omg beautiful bunny. Bunny's are so special. Mine has seizures but he is larger than life despite his illness new bunny friend love Binky bunny
I would recommend getting another rabbit.They should always be in pairs bar the exception of illness,aggression or old age.They are group animals and should always have a companion
Hey I have been looking at a rabbit from Gainesville rabbit rescue!!!
What a cute little bun
That is a VERY small enclosure! I recommend free range and if you are unable to do that just extend his enclosure and let him out whenever you can ;)))))))
Cutie 🥰.
Cute bunny btw.
Instead of a cage you should get a play pen or let him free range in a room I have a bunny and I learned all of the stuff from Lennon the bunny is a channel all about bunny’s and it helped me alot
Like the hay in the bin, the hay rack holder is okay as long as he has enough hay in his box ❤️
Spring mix is great for rabbits
“I’ve always wanted a pet- that’s not a fish- for so long” when I tell you I felt this. After 15 years of living still no hope 😔 I’m trying to get a summer job just so I can get one
Spinach isn’t the greatest for them, don’t feed him too much! I suggest buying a box of spring mix, usually lasts about 1 week for my rabbit. :) they need a large pile of fresh greens daily! Romaine is also a fantastic source of veggies
Hope that cage is kept open so he feels free to hop about :) he's a gorgeous little man
so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!
I luv your bunny so much x I recently got a bunny and I know have 2 but before I got it I had done ALOT of research as a few people have already said you should probably watch Lennonthebunny it is a rabbit channel and she talks all about what is right and what’s not for your bunny ! I would recommend to get a MUCH bigger hay rack. A MUCH bigger place to stay you can also free range them
"HE IS SOOOOOO PRECIOUS"
DUDE WEE GET IT
If you were to keep this cage which I don’t recommend you could take out those cinder blocks and add a second floor kinda like a condo.
Hes so cute! I believe he is a Lop mix. he has the helicopter-ish ears when he walks and the somewhat compact body shape, as well as the much rounder head shape (Edit) I see that you have a hay rack , hay racks can be very frustrating to rabbits as it is hard for them to get the hay out, especially with his head shape. They are very much more comfortable with their hay being in their litter box because rabbits (obviously) tend to eat while pooping.He also needs much more hay in his litter box as well. Rabbits should eat at least their body size in hay every day, I recommend smallpetselect.com for large quantities of good priced, quality hay. (as well as natural toys and chews to keep him entertained and stimulate his brain) I wish you the best of luck with your new, adorable bunny!
Yea make sure your bunny is free and happy
Awwww:) So cute!
Thank you was hard to get over it but I know he’s in a better place😔💕🙏🏼
Veggies I recommend: kale, romaine lettuce, carrots. Also a lil banana and apple isn’t bad but not too much! Only a slice of apple and a quarter of banana! And not often! High in sugars.
Only a little bit of carrot because of the high sugar content.
I’m glad u put hay in his box but I suggest u use wood pellets for litter. Fireplace wood pellets,
i suggest that you get a bigger cage, a different hay rack (large hay bag) if you can't get a bigger cage i think you should start free roaming. spinich is not the best for rabbits, i suggest romaine lettouce and kale. thats the best opions! :)
You're a great rabbit caretaker!
LUMOS 😍😍😍😍😍😍
So I think your set up is good. And I am not trying to turn this into a hate comment. But here is a tip. I think your set up is great, and I know you have him hop around your room. But I would have a bigger hay rack (I used to have that hay rack) because its hard for the rabbits to pick the hay out.
"i have been wanting a pet like not-a-fish" hahahaha
Ok I have a few fips 1.Rabbits have v3y sencitive feet so I recommend putting a softer more cushioned surface onto of the wood.2.Give him more space to hop and run around.hope u use this and thx
You should get a play pen instead of a cage because bunnies need more space but once he’s litter box trained u should probably free roam him around the house so that he could run around but make sure to bunny proof ur house first
I think i posted on the previous video, but I suggest yesterday's news for litter. Kale is a good source of fiber for them. My bunny had hairball issues and that helped clean him out. They can have berries but their mouths look like they murdered someone after a strawberry or raspberry. You can try a salt lick, but not all bunnies like it. I also found a lot of fun treats at Wal-Mart. I had my bun for 8yrs so I learned a lot.
That same fleece blanket is in my rabbits cage. She’s 6 months also
