WOO IM EARLY IM COMMENT #207
Thanks, this really helped me ;)
Thank you ill try some of these out 😊
Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️ lennon is adorable and ur really pretty
I think my bunny has a crush on Lennon!! Everytime I show him her he starts going in circles and nudging the screen!! He doesn't do it for any other bunny. It's adorable!
seems to be quite lonely 🙄
idontcarebears Aww lol
@@gabrielleelisa5736 shut the fuck up dumbass
@@sleepless7024 keep this family friendly lmao
or it could be Lorelei 🤫😂
My buns don't smell and neither does my apartment as long as the litter boxes are clean. The only way people know we have bunnies (besides my 9lb girl coming up to say hello to anyone who walks in the door) is because as I've been told my place smells like hay 😂. Even my clean freak mom finds the smell of hay to be nice.
I love the smell of hay ☺
I love the smell of hay, I’m just kinda allergic lol.
I have a question my parents dont want to get me a bun cuz of the smell of the pee......... does it really not smell when u clean several times a day I also go to school and my parents work.....so wat can i do to still have do u think I should have one
@@wonholover1507 Hello! I would suggest to get no rabbit. Your, and your parents time schedule is full. But you can make some bunnies happy, by helping out at shelters
Perla Ramos maybe if you get a pet cam you can see your rabbit and make sure she/he is safe idk
Thank you so much Lorelie, i was about to buy a hutch for my rabbit months ago, thank God i stumbled upon your channel. My baby Honey has now been free roam in my room for 2 months now, litter box trained. You have changed our lives. We both appriciate you so much!!!!
When I first got my bunny (she was 8 weeks) she stayed in a cage for maybe a week then after watching your videos I decided to let her free, she never had an accident she just went to her cage then would hop right out, which I’m completely grateful for
I don’t even have a rabbit but I still love this channel
Same but i really really really want a bunny but i have dogs and cats
Same but I'm getting one soon maybe this month! 🤗
Lol... me2
Me too😂🤣
Me too 😂😂
As to bunny odor... I think my bunny actually smells sweet 🤔😄
Yes!! Mine smells like honey? 😂
I've had my bunny for years & have NEVER noticed an odor on him or from him. He is free range & his potty area is cleaned daily which I'd think would be normal.
Mine smells like fresh laundry 😂
@Ally Reynold same & as long as somebody doesn't have pee sitting around for many many days, Idk why they'd have an odor issue. So weird
They smell fresh and clean, like a baby ^_^
I can’t believe the words “ happy new year”were said. Lol none of us thought this would happen thought.
I really want to get a bunny but I worry, worry, worry about cleaning and keeping a clean place to stay for me and my future bun. This vid basically...helped A LOT.😆Thanks so much Lorelei..😁😘
OMG, same!😁😅 Btw, me and JJJ are not the same person!😬
i was gifted a robot vacuum for christmas.... best gift for a bunny owner EVER
Does it get the hay as well? My normal vacuum can't even get the straws off the carpet 😅
@@TheOtherAnne if they are big long pieces it doesn't grab them well, but it picks up shorter pieces like a charm. The first thing we did when we unboxed it was test if it picked up hay and bunny poop. (It does)
Isn’t the bun terrified of a remote vacuum? I’m afraid that would give mine a heart attack
@@lienecarter6411 they're no more terrified of the robot vacuum than they were of the standard vacuum. when its running they both leave it alone, one of my rabbits hides from it (she hides from all loud noises, including the standard vacuum) and the other watches it clean from the safety of his pen (though he is deaf and therefore was never scared of the vacuum to begin with). I keep my rabbits in an x pen so the vacuum never enters their pen and i dont run it while their out of the pen. i have the charger bunny proofed though so when the bunnies free roam they dont bother it.
YES!!! My dad got a shark and it does not make any noices, its perfect
Man I swear sometimes I come home and see my space absolutely ravaged by my two bunnies...and Im like pack your shit lol but soon as they come up to me and love on me its all worth it
HAHA! Same!
❤️❤️❤️
At 2:30 I thought i was hearing Lennon eating the hay but it was just my bunny eating her hay😆
lol
I absolutely love your vídeos! have 3 free roam bunnies at home and follow your advices. Your videos helped me potty train them as well. They´re the best pets ever! Thanks a lot for all the time and effort put in your channel.
I just free roamed my rabbit. He was only in his pen at night but i love having him free roam your tips helped sooo much!!! I love waking up to cedric hopping all over me and my bed lol!!! 💜💜🇨🇦🇨🇦
How does it get into your bed??
@@YJKhattari they jump really high
Cedric? That is the cutest name EVER!! 😭😭😍😍
Omg!! That's adorable! My bunny can't get in my bed :( I have a loft bed
🎶Sofia the first🎶
My rabbit Buster passed away at the age of 8 last Thursday. He had heart failure. I miss him so much. He was a free roam bunny all the time and I actually even miss cleaning up after him. I am hoping to adopt another rabbit in a couple of months after I heal a bit. ❤️🐰
Sorry for your loss ;( what's it like having a rabbit? I really, really want one but my parents say no every time I ask. :(
The Cloud That Drifted Away they are wonderful companions. But they require lots of work. Since they are prey animals, they take time to trust anyone. But it’s so worth it when they finally do. If you want a rabbit do lots of research and make sure you are ready, they require a good amount of time and money to take care of.
@@andria2369 thanks for responding. I've definitely been doing my research, even if I don't be able to get a rabbit until later in life.
The Cloud That Drifted Away that’s wonderful. We need more people that love bunnies and want to help them in this world. 🐰❤️
So sad ;-;
Your videos are incredibly helpful. Its easy to tell you're passionate about owning rabbits and helping others experience the joy of it properly! I've never had a bunny before, but I'd love to! There's so much information on them its a bit overwhelming when researching and seeing the many options on things like their habitat and different flooring, but your page really summarizes it all and makes the whole thing a lot less daunting!
Tried the hay in a box method and omg it works so well. Me and my bunnies love watching your videos.
I invested in a roomba, and it was the best money I have ever spent. I have two buns that are cage free, so having a roomba to help me with the daily sweep has been amazing for dust and hair control. They were totally spooked at first, but now it will literally run into them and they just sit there like, "can we help you?" and it has to scoot around them lol 10/10 would recommend!!
Does the roomba cope with poops and bigger pieces of hay? I've been thinking of getting one, but was worried it would get clogged or not pick stuff up
@@susannatuttapanna2010 Sometimes it struggles with larger pieces of hay, but it does great with poops and smaller pieces. If all I have to pick up is a couple big pieces of hay a day that's fine by me lol
@@amythingbeauty9586 thanks, that's useful to know 🙂
.. SharkIQ .. !! Auto dumps and auto recharges !! YW !!
I have a cheaper version of a roomba and I love it. Roombas are nice but I wanted to save money it works just fine. My rabbit always goes in his hide house when the vacume starts going lol he needs to get used to it.
How could someone dislike in the first 30 seconds this video was up? You have t even watched it yet
I'm learning everything I can in this amazing channel. In here I realized the rabbits are the perfect pets for me (is unbelievable how much I relate with their personality). Anyway, this channel is so so helpful, when I adopt my bunny I'll have all the knowledge needed😊.
Thank you so much. My bunny and I have grown so much closer since I’ve started watching your channel. Thank you so much.
When I am older I want to be just like u!!!!
me to!!!!
Seawater Peanut me too I wanna free roam my bunnies
Yup same
Lol same to me
Thank you for introducing me to Small Pet Select. I've had a rabbit for 15 years and never been on this site. It's amazing!
I'm impressed you are able to manage sweeping every day. At our house, it turns into what I call the Broom Game with rabbits chasing the broom, sitting in the dustpan, kicking piles every which way, chewing on bristles, and being as unhelpful as rabbitly possible. It's more an exercise in pet entertainment than housecleaning. We all collapse in an exhausted heap afterwards.
I’m cleaning right now!! I really need this!! HAY EVERYWHERE!!
Mood xD
So. Much. Hay. Everywhere!
Thank you! Just love how you listed all the products!
Love this video, a bunny doesn't have to smell and you can keep a clean house! On my swiffer I only use moist floor wipes, it gives a little mop and other spots get cleaned while picking up the hair and dust. Works perfectly!
Omg this is literally what I need love ur channel also lenon is so cute
My bunny is super clean as well and I believe that she is because I made it a point to make her associate her litter box with something fun and with it being a safe space to relax and feel comfortable. In the beginning of potty training her I would sometimes hide treats in her box so she was very eager to use it :)
I literally love you. You give me positive vibes every time I see u in my recommended I don’t even bother to read the title I just click it.
Lorelie, your channel is the most informative I've seen for living with a bunny. Th information you provide's *so* valuable and helps me to be an informed rabbit owner in the future; (can't adopt right now due to living situation, but have done all of my research on owning a bunny, due in no small part to you). Just wanted to thank you so much for what you do.
I've learnt a lot thanks to you ;-; here in Chile is common to have bunnies in cages and thanks to you and Lennon I'm starting to teach the others that rabbits are so smart, clean, intelligent and they don't have to live in cages 🐰 Gazapito is a big fan of Lennon🐇 greetings from Chile!
BlackLotus 30 My sweet bunny Lara died this past Saturday, made me look back on everything I’ve done wrong and right and this channel could’ve been our savior, why didn’t I see it sooner.😭🤧💔💔💔💔💔
You’ve helped me so much with my rabbit, I remember when I first got her from a flea market and they sold me a ginuea pig cage to keep her in. I found you a week later and started free roaming her. She loves roaming around and I find it to be less messy because there’s no bulky cage, I have cats so it’s really just one more litter box, a plate, and hay basket, and a water bowl. If it weren’t for your videos I don’t think my rabbit would have such a happy life, she even chases my cats around to play with them and sleeps on the couch with me and comes to the door when I get home. A cage wouldn’t allow her any of that freedom. Thanks so much for your videos! ❤️❤️
Miele vacuums are great. I've found bagless vacuums get clogged a lot more with bunny fur than bagged vacuums. Also a big shop vac is great for picking up hay. Love your videos! Lennon is so cute!
I just had to leave a comment here saying I absolutely LOVE your videos and Lennon is so sweet! I've learnt so so much from you on how to properly care for bunnies and I want to thank you so very much for everything you do for the rabbit community. I also wanted to mention that I named my bunny after you 💕💕 You are such an inspiration and such an amazing person, your channel and videos mean so much to me. Keep doing what you're doing and helping create change, you make such a big difference in bunnies lives 💕💕
I don't understand the odor part. The only times my little guy smells is after he has been on the toilet, which is normal. I love his scent otherwise, so sweet and soft. I could fall asleep with my face in his fur if he'd let me, haha... Also, the vinegar is LOVE! It's the main product I use for cleaning his toilets and removing pee stains when needed. Wonderful video as usual Lorelei & Lennon
I got my Holland Lop bunny, Hamilton, shortly after watching your videos. I've researched all about rabbits for almost 2 years and I'm so grateful for you! This video helps me especially lol!! Thank you for aiding me in my adventures with my little bunny baby. I'm thinking about creating a blog about my baby--cause oh the adventures that occur when becoming a bunny mom is crazy.
Lilee Bennett Your rabbit’s name is amazing
@@gatorontheroad Haha thank you!
@Lilee Bennett that would be so cool. I have videos about my rabbit white foot recovering from sever muscle loss and ear infection / ear mites. She is only 7 weeks into recovery but doing so much better already!!
@@JohannaParrishParrish_Place Wow! I'm glad she's doing better!
How is your bun doing? >w
I'm adopting two bunnies soon as I feel ready after watching your videos for a year now I think. A messy house is what I'm worried about so this video came up just at the right time!
I adopted my first bunny about 2 months ago and your videos have been so helpful! I'm trying to transition to free roam :)
I got a $20 shop vac from Wal-Mart best money spent! I kept clogging my nice vacuum with hay it was awful. My bunnies are on carpet so I just got a brush attachment and the shop vac does wonders.
Im getting that today! I saw it online the other day
I LOVE YOU LORELEI AND LENNON! You are my inspiration... I have a 9 month old Dutch bunny named peanut! Love you girl!!!!! I want to be just like you when I’m older!
I I have 2 male Dutch 10 month old
rabbit care & play Cool!!!!!! What are there names?
@@noelleonischuk17 Toby and Ethan
rabbit care & play so cute!
@@noelleonischuk17 thanks your rabbit name is to
I’ve watched this video so many times and there’s no flaws this video is flawless!
“you are now married to the hay”
me: *looks over to the mess of hay on my floor that will forever be there after the million times i clean it*
Thanks for the tips! I'm really into that trunk idea cause it's a feeder, toilet, and hide all in one mess containing package
I needed more Lennon after a bad day. Glad this videos here! ❤️
I would describe Lorelei as a hard working person that takes perfect care of her bunny❤ I really love this channel❤❤
I love the long videos! So much information to choose from!
This video was really helpful!! I love Lennon and Lorelei!! Lots of love from Arizona😊my bunny actually liked this video because he flopped on his side twice😊😊
I hope to get a bunch of bunnies from a shelter in the future, and your videos really help information-wise 😊 Thank you!
Thank you so much for your channel and this was a terrific little vid. I did not know what I was doing with my first rabbit several years ago. It would have helped to have something like this then! With your helpful guidance, I've learned a lot about bonding with my new bun.
Alice is a little Holland Lop that showed up on my porch one day. The neighborhood had become a dumping ground for abandoned bunnies. One of the neighbors brought her over and asked what to do. Well, I couldn't say, "Bring her to a shelter," now could I? That face. She melted me. I found your channel that day and have been hooked ever since. I wish I had fewer books in the house so she's limited to a smaller space off the back porch (inside and with a heater) but she quickly showed that she does not need to be in a pen. What manners! Watching you and Lennon has inspired me to be a good bunny mom. Thank you!
You are doing a great job educating bunny parents. I learnt everything when I got my 2 buns but still see people treating their buns wrong, I love how your videos are teaching others 🥳🐰🐰🐰❤️
Happy new year lorelei and Lennon ❤️
Ty for this video. So helpful xx ❤️❤️
So helpful!! I love this video!! All these tips I will be using.
Thank you for all of your tips. They have made our Rupert much happier. She free roams twice a day during her active periods. Sometimes she even puts herself away.
My bunny Emo is celebrating his first-year anniversary in our home today. We just transitioned him from a large ex-pen to free roam, and he is doing really well. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks to make it easier. I would say that being in tune with your bunny and taking the time to really observe him or her is key. Once you know what interests them, what frightens them, what kinds of messes they make, you can deal with each one.
I love organization and staying organized. My rabbit loves to make messes and reorganizing what he messes with its hard to stay organized when he knocks everything around so this video should give me some ideas (I AGREE WITH THE HAY ISSUE IT GETS EVERYWHERE)
Hay is the worst 👍😁
14:24 never thought of doing this, thanks for the tip I’ll definitely try this
I watch your youtube everyday! Even when im not allowed to like when im doing homework but i love your channel and Lennon
Been watching your videos and they have inspired me to let my rabbit free roam and I have to say thank you so much because he has been so much less aggressive and loves spending playtime with my shitzu and my cat
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS LOVE U GUYS
Awesome video Lorelei!! This was done so professionally! Lennon was so cute and I loved the video examples you used in between talking!! I am thinking of getting a bunny soon and I want to give them the best life possible, and your videos really helped!! So inspirational!! Thankyou!💕
1 of my rabbits got rescued from an animal shelter and I'm very thankful we have him 😊☺️
i have 7 bunnys at the moment 4 of my own and 3 are fosters.I love you lennon and you guys channel so much keep up the good work!!!
Yay! Happy new year!! Lennon is the LUCKIEST rabbit EVER to have you as her caretaker!!!
I love that you had Popples on here!!!
So thanks so much for educating me on how to properly take care of bunnies. I do have a baby bunny and I do free roam it (you taught me that it’s better to do so) but at night time bc I can’t monitor it, I put it into a play pen/exercise pen
Watching this at 2am with my bunny sleeping on my arm..... Best thing ever!
Thanks so much for the inspiration. You've been a great help in getting a free roaming rabbit as my new companion. It's been 2 months and counting
I fed a my bunny to my cats as hunting exercise. I also take them to the park to get the pigeons, hummingbirds and robins my Bengal cats are vicious attacks my neighbours pit bull and chases it also killed a pitbull and husky the bite it's neck like how lions kill zebras.
Was literally just thinking about how to do this! Thanks!!
I use a really cute wicker laundry basket with a top to store my hay in my bedroom, it blends in with all of my decor and I have easy access to it! 😊
Ohhh I love the hack of cutting a slot in the small pet select box!!
Thanks to you, I am very proud of my baby's and I am so glad you post videos of how to PROPERLY care for a bunny. I have partly potty trained my bunnies so far. They use the litter box when they need to pee or poop and they also eat there. sometimes they have accidents but not pee accidents. They are 2 months old and are very smart. I actually rescued them from a person who was selling them on Craigslist. The original owner had four baby girls and one boy, along with two bunny parents that were all stuffed in one cage. They had one big dog and a brand new litter of kittens. Honey and Hopper are happy being here at our new home and appreciate being free roam bunnies. I took your advice about getting a litter box (With hay, litter, and puppy pads) Heavy ceramic bowls (To help the bowls not tip) and I even learned how to make toys for them. I don't know what I would have done with them or what to do to help them if it weren't for you. Thank you Lorelei, and thank you Lennon :)
Sincerely,
A huge fan
I am so glad you finally made this video.
Thanks Lennon the bunny for liking my comment!!!❤️
Finally early anyone else just get so excited for these videos💗💗
Edit: omg Lennon the bunny just liked my comment I’m literally crying as a few days after I wrote this comment my rabbit passed away in her sleep and her videos have just really helped me get through this😭💗thank you✨ xxx
Meeee
OMG I JUST SAW LORELEI'S INSAGRAM STORY AND I AM SO EXCITED! Lennon and Bini are Literally the ONLY rabbit youtubers I watch!!! I CANT EVEN WAIT FOR THIS COLLAB!!!! I love you so much!
IM LITERALLY ALWAYS CLEANING UP AFTER MY BOYS. THEY LOVE IT MESSY!
I love your videos. I’ve learnt so much since I started watching your chanel
I don't even have a rabbit and I can't stop watching your videos
I just found you, and you're wonderful! You just saved my home! More more more! Make many similar videos, you are amazing❤️🙌🏻❤️
I have learnt so much I can’t wait to get my little bun 🐇❤️
did u got her?
Omg! A Popples clip! My nickname for my Holland Lol, Sophie, is my little Popple. ❤️ Maybe carrying hay is a Havana thing because mine, Lulu, does the same as Lennon. Sometimes he shoves his whole body into a ball of it and hops around with it all stuck on him. Been trying to get a pic of that. Lol. Great, informative video as always!
Mine carry hay too! They are holland lops
"Mess free" haha good one one pet select! I don't think that's possible at least with rabbit
My bunny thumper is 6 months, he’s a rather clean bunny and I have 5 other animals. Thumper gets his own space and is loved by my kitty and doggo. They play with toys together and thumper is just a sweetheart
I have watched all you videos 3 times going on 4 I am getting a bunny in 1 week I'm so excited!!! I love lennon and you and your channel!!!!
THANK U for this information really useful ❤👌❤❤
I love your bunny videos! Have you thought about adopting a little bunny buddy for Lennon? I always felt bad about having a single bun because everyone told me that they need a bonded bunny friend. My local bunny shelter does bunny bonding and I was able to find a nice fit for my baby. Now that my bun has somebunny to love, I get to see them binky and play together happily! Just a thought, keep doing you! :)
That is really common advice, but it's often not individualized enough. Bunnies can be just fine as single housepets so long as their humans have time to give them enough attention. Most bunnies are indeed happiest with bunny friends, but there are bunnies who just don't like other bunnies, or prefer the company of humans, or even cats.
I have 3 rabbits and one of them has to be kept separate because she will not bond AT ALL. The other two have bonded perfectly (I did the bonded on my own) and I am experienced in this so it isn’t that I’m not aware. She doesn’t like sharing her space and goes crazy. She loves my company but not my other rabbits so they are upstairs and I have her in the living room so I can see and spend time with her constantly.
This was super helpful I'm getting a bunny in a few days and i'm just learning the basic care
I have all these vacuums and also a shop vac. I used your link to get the covered litter box and pads, good video.
Yay im so exited for a new video! lol
Your house is sooo cute! Ps I love you and Lennon!
Thank you for the ❤️ Lorelei
I know I'm late but I've watched this video loads and it's so helpful!
Loved that u used a popples clip 😁 that was my favorite as a child. I had 3 VHS with them.
I LOVE YOU AND LENNON
My bunny literally jumps into my garbage can and runs around with any wrappers he can find in there. I hate and love him sometimes.
I'm a new bunny parent and this video helped me out A LOT. I had them in a cage but now they're free roaming. The potty training worked amazingly.
Your videos are inspiring! Thanks for your work.
I was given a bunny named Peter from a family that couldn't take care of him because they were scared of him after he had been gifted to them by some friends. I know nothing about his background like what breed he is or if he's neutered or not or even what age he is. All I know is that the only reason the previous family had been scared of him because he has really long and sharp nails. He lives in a bunny cage, it's fairly big but recently he's been trying to escape from if by trying to lift this opening from above the cage. He's a good boy since when I let him out, when and he no longer wants to be out, he returns to his cage. Recently though he's begun to nibble at me a lot. Even lick me but mainly nibbling. Is there like a certain meaning behind that or maybe a way to let him know when he nibbles too hard? Along with some other tips as to what I could do as a newbie to caring for him? I really just want him to be happy and definitely get him to be a free-roam bunny as soon as I can.
The little nibbles along with the licks is he is loving on you. He's trying to groom you like he would another rabbit. Rabbits will also give you a little nibble to tell you a move. To teach him bite inhibition (how to not bite you too hard) everytime he nibbles too hard make a loud squeak/scream as a rabbit would. It lets him know he's hurting you, he doesn't want to hurt you so he'll learn to be more gentle. Also you need to get his nails clipped he can hurt his little paws if they're too long. I did all of this with my bunny girl and she's all well and trained in those areas now ^_^. Read the House Rabbit Handbook and watch Lennons videos! They'll give you all the info you need on rabbits. There is also the house rabbit association website that has rabbit info too!
Congrats on rescuing your bunny. I'd suggest taking him for a wellness check at the vet's office. If his claws are too long, they'll be able to trim them. The vet will also be able to tell you if he's been neutered or not ( although, truth to tell, intact male bunnies are easy to tell... like all rodents, the males have rather large testicles). If he does need to be neutered, they'll be able to tell you how much that will cost.
Honestly his previous owners sound really neglectful. It's lucky he was able to get a better home with you. Rabbits need regular nail trimmings, which can be done at a vet, or at home if you know how and are confident. Living in a cage can make rabbits aggressive and antisocial, and they feel like you are invading their territory whenever you reach in, because they have so little space that is their own (imagine how mad a cat would be if it was kept in a cage, and then realize rabbits are just as intelligent and independent!). In addition, neutering is often essential for a rabbit to be well behaved and have a good life as a housepet.
So, the two best things I think you can do right now are (1) replace the cage with an x-pen and (2) take him for a vet appointment to find out if he is neutered and if he needs any health care.
The x-pen can serve as a transitional space until you are ready to have him free roam. It also makes a good confined space to start litterbox training and to prevent him from running around too much when recovering from neuter surgery. You can put a spillproof tablecloth or pee-proof doggie blanket beneath it to protect your flooring until he is trained.
When you are ready to transition to free roaming, begin by letting him out of the x-pen for supervised playtime a few hours a day. This will let you see what kinds of trouble he is likely to get into, and then you can gradually start rabbit proofing your house. It will also give you an opportunity to intervene and put him in his litterbox if he tries to pee or poop. Increase his playtime as reward for good litterbox habits.
Here is a reddit thread with advice for new rabbit owners. It includes links to example setups and where you can buy an x-pen www.reddit.com/r/Rabbits/comments/a0ub64/any_advice_for_a_new_rabbit_owner/eal5e3s
I agree it sounds as if Peter's previous family was not properly caring for him, so a vet checkup is definitely a good idea, to make sure everything is okay. Lots of good advice on here already, so one thing that helped me is weighing your pet weekly or daily. This is not required as the vet weighs your rabbit during checkups, but it's a good way to catch illnesses early. (You can use a pet scale or use a regular scale by weighing yourself, then you holding Peter and subtracting the difference.) The weight should be consistent especially if done at the same time of day. Any change that is more than a pound is not normal. Other oddities that indicate illness is "gasping" (rabbits are incapable of breathing through their mouth because of the build of their tracheae, but will make "gasping" movements if there is a blockage, inflammation or just not getting enough air) Putrid odors from ears (infections) glossy eyes (should be bright and alert) and dry, flakey skin (dehydration, and rabbit skin is very elastic). Also rabbits have two kinds of fecal matter. One is goopey and soft (rabbits eat these cecotropes) and the other look like whole cloves are are usually 1/2-1 cm in diameter. I hope this is not overwhelming and a lot of these checks can be done while playing with your rabbits, feeding them and cleaning their environment. I've had a lot of experience with rabbits being sick, unfortunately, (and part of this is in my earlier rabbit experience was with misguided information) so these are things I became attuned to. The important thing is rabbits are prey animals and naturally try to hide their illness. By learning about your rabbits wonderful quirks and patterns of behavior, you'll learn what is normal for them. I wish you both the best of luck and happiness.
Rabbits are not rodents. They are Lagomorphs and need to eat a diet different from rodents Mostly hay, not grains life rodents with corn, nuts, etc. ) but there are similarities.
Thanks for this because I live with my mum and have 4 rabbits so it's definitely hard work keeping it clean I mean I have 2 massive boxes with hay and another with litter and toys it's alot but I love them
Hi I’m getting a rabbit TODAY I’m so excited I have been watching you for like basically a year now and I’m sure my rabbit will enjoy watching you as well
I’ve never given my rabbit hay until I saw your videos. I also started potty training her so she could be free roam when I starting watching your videos
