It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that as of June 14th, Echo (this rabbit in the video) is no longer here. After a vet visit, we discovered multiple health complications and then had an emergency happen when I got home with her. She had to be put down, but was surrounded by love in her final moments.
This is the harsh reality of owner neglect and she could still be here today if the owners did what they were supposed to. I will be making a video on her diagnosis and last days soon ❤ RIP Echo
Rip echo😞❤️
poor baby,she didnt deserve that at all.But I'm so grateful you showed her there is still hope for the thousand of bunnies out there who are victims of ignorance and stuidity.Thank you for loving her and doing the most you could to let her live her final days happily.❤❤🩹
I am not okay
Estupiidaa gente😢
Thank you for saving her even if it was just for a short time
The fact that they couldn't be bothered to clean up at least before the rescue speaks volumes
Or a home showing when strangers/guests would enter to see and smell that
For every person that disgusts me with how little they care for animals, I’m relieved there are people like you guys to make up for some of their mistakes.
People with big hearts to rescue and love animals like this are angels in human form.
You guys literally saved her from hell, thank you for helping so many bunnies and pigs in need!
But where is the toilet box? Rabbits need such a place.
A HUGE shoutout to Eva for finding this rabbit. Without her, she would still be in that awful cage living a very sad life ❤ I will be sure to make plenty of videos on her so you guys can see her progress with us!
Hi I do not know if ur taking name Suggestions but I think her name could be star ❤❤❤❤
She's such a good soul!
Or moon ❤
This is HORRIFIC! People should take a class on every animal they want before they can have it! My heart breaks for animals that are abused by humans! Thank you for caring!!!
This isn't even about ignorance. You don't have to have any previous knowledge on rabbits to know that MOLD in their cage isn't okay. It's neglect, and the owners just straight up not caring.
Yes, Absolutely! We had to take driving lessons, then pass a test before we got a license. It should be the same with Animals, but more in-depth!
My parents made me read 2 books about a pet before i could get one (pre-internet) ❤
I’d be hella aggressive defending my first new mansion too 😂 poor girlie she’s so cute
HAHAHAH this made me laugh 🤣
I was thinking the same thing. First new home, giant sprawling mansion, of course she's going to defend it. Then finally realized they weren't trying to remove her from her new home so warmed up to them.
@@ThePigRoomhhh
Poor rabbit, what a horrible existence! Makes me very angry! Thanks for rescuing this little darling 😢
The biggest problem here is that this is not rare. People think this is how it's ok to treat small animals. It's just a bunny. It's just a hamster. It's just a guinea big. It's just a goldfish. Just, just, just. If this was unique to this specific horrible human, that would be one thing. But this is the life of most small animals. How were here teeth not overgrown? How did she not die from stasis? There are so many loved and well cared for bunnies out there that get sick and die seemingly out of nowhere but these neglected pets seem to live on and on and on in these conditions. Horrible.
Some people really still believe that small animals don't feel pain or emotions like loneliness or boredom like humans do.
I agree. It's almost as if they are holding onto some kind of hope bless them
Do you eat animals? Animals in the animal industry are in cages smaller than this and are killed for human consumption
I am constantly told “it’s just a bunny”. I hate those words so much. My bunny is my baby, as important to me as my cat, dog and partner. People bring an animal into their home that is completely reliant on them for care and they treat them like this. I will never understand it.
Bunnies live as long as cats or dogs too 12+ years and can be litter box trained. They are so smart and precious yet people abuse them
No no no no!...... 7 years alone, neglected in a small cage, no interaction or care??! I'm only one minute in to this video and already sobbing.
It was even more heart breaking to be in their house and see just how unaware they were of how awful they were treating her 😨
@@ThePigRoom I can't even imagine being there in person... This situation is far too common 😥 It just breaks my heart. We're very grateful that you and your friend took action to save this sweet soul. I can't wait to see her real personality start shining through as she gets settled in and finally begins loving life!! She deserves all the things! Love and hugs 💞 Appreciate you
Same and I’m pissed off at these “owners”! TY GUYS FOR SAVING HER
They've had to have known she wasn't being taken care of.
She's so cute and sweet she deserves everything!!!
This is why it is extremely important for pet stores to advertise and teach proper animal care for all animals.
Yes they should actually only sell animals to people who are able to pass a test or willing to spend a few hours in order to learn everything. If tons of people aren’t proper parents, imagine about taking care of another species.
Key word, proper. Pet stores will tell you a small box is good for guinea pigs, but that’s far from the truth
@@AstridiaMoon I agree! It is a significant issue across the entire small pet community. I have even debated getting stickers made to stick to pet stores enclosures to advise them of improper enclosure care. I’m going to speak more in regards to hamsters because that is where most of my research is and my expertise is. Like I was just in PetSmart and petco yesterday and what I seen at petco made me livid! PetSmart at least had an upright hamster safe wheel in each enclosure, was a decent size, and wasn’t feeding a rat lab block food to them (which is known to be very dangerous to hamsters). At petco they had smaller enclosures, unsafe saucer wheels or mesh wire (these wheels, cause bumble foot or injuries), and being fed a rat lab block (which is known to be very dangerous to hamsters health). However, neither pet store had any adequate hamster information anywhere or products. Since this is the standard that pet stores are setting people whom know nothing about small pet care buy unsuitable care products for their animals and honestly believe that they are “spoiling” them, but reality is they aren’t providing their needs or basic requirements to be happy, healthy, thriving, etc.
i teared up when yall put her in the pen for the first time☹️ she is adorable!
I feel like they HAD to have known they weren't giving her the proper treatment. There's no way
Literally 0 way they didn't see this as wrong. This is past negligence 😢😢
fr.
Agreed.
100% agreed
100%, any sane person would look at that rabbit an immediately tell that it's not ok. You don't even have to have any knowledge in rabbits whatsoever to know how wrong this is like wtf
I was 8 when my parents got me my dwarf bunny. He lived for 5 years and I had no idea that his nails needed to be trimmed. I kept his cage clean and his water fresh and I took him out often to play for a few hours. I just wish I had known MORE. My sweet Thumper.
Don't be so hard on yourself! An 8 year old can't be expected to know how to look after a being when they're not old enough to look after themselves. Parents mean well but often don't do enough research when getting family pets, you did the best you could
When you take them out often, nails don't need trimming that much, because they grind themselves on the ground
I am an absolute wreck watching this rescue. The ignorance they must have had to watch this innocent rabbit suffer for 7 whole years is beyond disgusting. Thank both of you so much for being the voice this sweet girl needed, and for providing her with a second shot at life❤️
Yeah like how fd up do you have have be. You don't even have a to be a rabbit expert to tell the rabbit is suffering so how tf do you look at that and think "my rabbit looks so happy!!" I'm soooo freaking glad they saved the rabbit.
Thank you both for rescuing and helping out this poor rabbit!! For 7 years is unbelievable. WE APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR ACTION !
My heart hurts watching this. That is nothing but animal cruelty. Thank you Austin and Ava for rescuing her and getting her out of that nightmare living situation. Ava, thankfully you saw this and were the voice for this innocent baby. I hope she has the very best life from now on 💕
Eva seriously saved this girls life!
@@ThePigRoom Sorry, it’s Eva. And she sure did!
She was a cute little girl. She looked like a baby bunny but in reality, she was elderly. Bunnies only have an average lifespan of 7-10 years. Being so stressed out no doubt lowered her lifespan. Anyone who commits to an animal must take good care of it and help it live its best life. RIP Echo. I hope your eternity involves hopping around in fields of clover which would be bunny heaven.
This is so sad and seven years?! Thank you both so so so much! Those owners should be charged I’m not kidding.
7 LONG AND AWFUL YEARS. Poor thing :( She has a bright future ahead of her though!
Yes exactly, why have the previous owners NOT been charged for animal neglect is the question that remains 🤬
I think you having her next to another bunny will help show her that you are a good person. And that she can trust you 🥺
I think so too! Molly will help her to open up more and more with me :D
This is horrific, this poor beautiful animal. This is pure animal neglect. Imagine living in a prison cell in your own exstament, on a concrete floor with no bed for 7 years. Poor baby this breaks my heart how can you say this is proper care or to be totally oblivious to this animals suffered. No wonder she's blind. The emonia from the urine would be enough to make her blind thank God you both found her. Thank God presious angle this totally breaks my heart. I am truly disturbed by the lack of care here. I'm lost for words. Thsnk God you have given her another chance to live the rest of her days clean happy and safe. God bless you guys massive thank you to you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
I don’t think I have EVER seen such cruelty I cannot believe that the parents allowed this! I am bloody angry, upset and peed off, the food was completely dried up and the colour of the pellets had faded! I don’t normally write in the comments but this beautiful girl deserved better, she deserved a warm bed, food, hay, veggies and a bloody cage that gave her enough room to jump around!
This is not just feeding her the wrong food this is horrendous I sat and cried when I saw her come running to you I know she is safe, warm, fed and loved thank you Austin for being a really great human being! ❤❤❤
the biggest hero for the tiniest critters
Thank you guys so much for rescuing that sweet bunny from her situation now she’s in a much better home now and she’ll be much happier🎉
This is so heartbreaking and terrible. I’m glad you saw this bunny and were able to take care of it. Honestly, I would love to have it, but I don’t really have the space and room or the money to for their care but poor little bunny. I hope they find a nice home one day 😢
I cant believe anyone would think that its okay for her to live like that. Thanks for helping. At least she had a few good days in her life.
As a previous rabbit owner and knowing the care they need, this just broke my heart.
This one made me cry 😿 I had a lop rabbit growing up and all I could see was my best friend Beethoven I was so happy to see her get the love and care she deserved
Crying my eyes out thank u so much for saving her
That owner knows what its doing!!! Sick individual shouldnt be allowed to have animals period!!! I highly doubt the 14 year old took care of it financially i definitely blame the parents more in this situation😭 shes so spicy and didn't wanna get out of her comfy pen hehe im glad shes warmed up and is friendly now!
tbh i fully blame the parents, the 14 year old is still a minor, but saying that im also a minor and i have taken extremely well care for my 2 guinea pigs and 1 hamster. hence why im subbed to Austin!
This absolutely broke my heart. Poor girl❤ I’m happy she lives with you now.
This is absolutely disgusting. Thank you so much for saving this beautiful bunny. You guys are amazing! 🤍🤍🐰
you can really tell how much a rabbit changes when you spend more time with it, taking care of it, and having enough space for your rabbit! Thank you guys for saving this sweetheart. ❤
That poor rabbit you're so kind for caring for this little thing. God bless you
This is what happens when you give your 7 year old a pet that you don't want yourself or are prepared to care for once the novelty wears off...absolutely heartbreaking
Thank you so much for taking her and giving her a better home❤
That is not territorial behavior, it is because she feels cornered. I've dealt with rabbits like that, they need lots of hiding places and space dividers. I'd suggest only approaching her if she has several "exit routes" and never keep going towards her when she backs up. That way you will gain her trust. 😊 She definately suffered a lot physically and mentally in her previous home
Breaks my heart to think of the buns living in these types of situations. It's amazing how big their personalities get when you give them some room, makes you wonder how it could be contained in such tiny spaces in the first place❤
My little heart can't take it, she must have been worried she was gonna go back to the awful place for the first few days. Truly a prisoner for a child’s entertainment. Unbelievably unfair and I am so glad she made it out of there and is now getting to experience proper care, no matter what she has been through it seems she understands that shes now loved and so quickly too. I hope she can make a full recovery from the neglect and find an amazing family that will spoil her every single day. If you havent named her already she seems like a Velvet or Violet to me, kind of a luxurious name but still cute to suit her now enriched posh bunny lifestyle where she can demand attention and treats, binkie around and hopefully find the bun-love of her life. Great video and thank you for rescuing her 🐇❤
Omg! This broke my heart 😢 I can’t believe she’s spent 7 years in those conditions, what an horrendous way to treat something so precious. You and Eva are truly amazing for saving all these poor little buns and making sure they get the happy, healthy lives they deserve with lots of love
Ahhhhh my heart broke.... She is sooooo beautiful ❤
This poor bunny ;n; She really has been through hell but must be such a fighter to keep going without being fed or looked after properly. I'm so glad she's safe and in good hands now
Austin your two are amazing and I would 100% support you guys if you started a rabbit and Guinea pig rescue ❤❤
I can't even imagine doing this to a rabbit they are such lovable intelligent creatures, when I fostered a rabbit she was free to roam the house, she had plenty of litter boxes, food, water and hay and she would even jump onto my bed and sleep with me. They're just sweet animals this is really heart breaking to see and I'm ever so thankful the rabbit I fostered was given a home to someone with several years of rabbit care experience.
Thank you for doing everything you could for Echo in her final moments.
I can never get over the fact that there are still ppl in this world, that treat their animals (or kids for that matter) like this.
How is this even a thing still?!
So happy this girl found her way to you and Eva. I literally cried through most of the video. Watching her touch fleece for the first time had me bawling. She was so shocked she couldn’t really move. Can’t wait to see her come out of her shell even more!❤️❤️
POOR SWEET BUN BUN GIRL!!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! So sad by what she went through!!!! She deserves the best in life! She is so beautiful and adorable! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you both for saving this sweet girl! And amazing detective work Eva! You guys rock!
Dude! You guys are so awesome! My rabbit has a whole 2 story cage with a bedroom on the second floor of the cage, and his house is ALWAYS left open for him to roam freely throughout our entire house! We never leave his habitat left locked! And we clean it 2 times a week!! I couldn’t even imagine him being locked up in that small cage of filth and nowhere to run around and play! Thank goodness for people like you! God bless you both for your heroic efforts! ❤❤WELL DONE! 🙏🙏🙏
Poor baby’s! You’re so nice for rescuing them.
Great job to you both for rescuing this sweet and poor bun. Thank you for stepping up to do something about her situation. Just an FYI. True Holland Lops are only between 3-4 lbs. They are very small. Even though previous owner neglected the poor bun, they did keep the pellet bowl full 24/7, unfortunately with no hay or veggies, but at least she wasn’t starving. Bunnies chew on stuff, not because they are hungry, but basically she was very bored as well as frustrated by living in these conditions 24/7.
She's so precious! Sweetest little face. I just do not understand how people can be so cruel. There's no way they could have thought that was the right way to house a rabbit - or ANY pet. I'm so happy that you two were able to save her!
Thank you for saving her and im sorry for your loss. love you Echo!
also i rlly like ur into
Aww what a sweet little lady🥺 she warmed up to you just in two days even though she's neglected for a long time in the past. I'm sure she'll have a good bunny life living with you from now on💕
You guys are awesome for saving her
I don't see her as being aggressive I see her as a bun that doesn't ever want to go back to living in that cage ever again
Her situation broke my heart 💔 so glad you guys rescued her
This is so heartbreaking. Thank you both for saving her. She's so adorable ❤️
A lot of people think bunnies belong in cages like this and honestly think they’re not doing anything wrong :(
3:40 This is inexcusable my best friend had two rabbits before re homing them because the were moving and couldn’t take the bunnies with them. But she was 15 taking care of the rabbits, cleaning the cages(they had separate cages because they didn’t like each other) and feed them a healthy diet of Timothy hay and treats and pellets. If you are old enough to have a pet you are old enough to take care of it.
Poor sweet girl, this just broke my heart. Thank you Austin
Eva is incredible for advocating for this poor bunny! Thank you both for rescuing the poor baby 😢🎉 X x
I swear you guys are angels! I did cry to see what she had been living through...😢 Am so happy you guys found her and are nursing her back to health!
Awwww 😭💔 poor cute little bunny 💔😭 thank you both for your rescue, may God bless you so much ❤🥲💯🙏👍🥲❤
Heartbreaking to see those conditions that she was living in! I'm sorry, if your lives are too busy to pay attention to what your daughter is doing to their pet, as someone who is only 14 yrs old, they have no business having a pet or allowing their daughter responsibility for a pet. Those parents were as responsible for the welfare of that poor bunny as the daughter. Thank goodness for Eva and her way of talking to them so the rabbit could be rescued and thank you Austin for your part and taking her in.
It breaks my heart seeing how defeated that poor rabbit looked in that old cage and then seeing the signs of her exploring her new cage. Poor thing was all but forgotten for so long.
This is absolutely awful, seeing her have to suffer through these conditions and knowing it went on for so long is heartbreaking, I’m so sorry her time with you was cut short because of this, watching your video I’m glad that atleast she was able to experience some good and love before she went. Rest in peace sweet girl😞 You guys do amazing work🙏❤️
I was so sad thank you so much for the both of you and what you do is so amazing . I am moving soon and I hope where my new home is will be bigger to where I can help rabbits as I feel so passionate about them
I'm crying this is so kind of you I mean she probably feels so so so so so good😢😢😢😊😊😊😊❤❤
Thank you for all of the work you do❤
The owners know their bunny deserves better🤕
This is so incredibly sad. Please update on all your current rescues, what happened to the piggies you rescued?
Ava&Austin thank you for saving her😢❤she is Beautiful
I’ve only been alive for twelve years and I can’t even imagine being in that cage for an hour but seven years makes me miserable, I’m glad she finally got the attention she deserves❤
The way you care for these animals, you are like an angel. It’s so inspiring. I am rescuing my second reptile this year…. You have greatly inspired me to make beautiful comfortable homes for animals who need some extra TLC
oh my goodness. thank you for saving this gorgeous girl!❤
"She became more sociable (she's more social) and asks for pets." When you said that and looking back when she was agressive before, I froze when I realized. I read the pinned tweet before starting this video and I was heartbroken because what if (towards the end of the video) she knew it was her time... so she asks for more love even for a little bit 💔
Thank you so much for providing love, care and comfort for her in her last moments. She was extremely happy that you and your friend saved her ❤ Rest in peace, Echo. You are loved by so many people 🫂
i’ve rescued many bunnies, but all of them mostly about a year old. oldest one being 3. 7 years of that is so sad i’m so happy she found you!
Omg this is way past neglect. How did this poor baby last 7 years. There wasn't any hay in sight during the first part of this video in the cage. I'm so glad she got the love she needed before she sadly passed away. It takes alot for me to cry but this video made me cry. The sadness in her eyes of being left alone with completely nothing😢 The amount of pellets may have given her gut stasis as they are only suppose to have small amounts a day especially if she wasn't use to eating them to suddenly having loads. RIP little girl. Free from pain now 💔😥
Makes me love both my house rabbits 10x more if that's even possible.
the pure apathy of the previous owners is astounding, if I saw either of my buns in even a half-worse situation my heart would break. glad you found her and took her in
it’s truly disgusting what some people think is okay for these animals. thank you both for saving this sweet soul❤
I am a rabbit owner and I while I appreciate the earnest desire to care for this rabbit, I hope that everyone realizes that they took the animal out a stressful unnatural place and placed it in another unnatural place.
I used to keep my bunnies indoors in the same pen arrangements and allowed them to roam the house from time to time. After many rugs and damaged based boards, I then decided to let them explore the backyard during the morning periods and soon observed the difference in their behavior. It was astounding. They reminded me that they were now IN their natural habitat by digging and burrowing in and between the hedges, exploring the setting up territories, and then by eating select shrubs and herbs that seem to sought out. The truth is that we are not letting these animals live in their best environments. It is just impossible to recreate this setup indoors no matter how much we try. They were designed to graze and burrow and dig and explore. As such, I created little "safe spaces" for them to access fresh water and pellets and shelter form rain and would let them roam as much as 8 hours in a day. They are the happiest bunch I know and even made friends with the neighbors cat who comes by the "play". Its so odd to watch them lay down on the grass together and chill.
Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with these animals and hopefully increase awareness and sensitivity to their needs. Also, please neuter or spay as recommended.
Well said pal. These monkeys took the rabbit and put to sleep. If not well cared it wouldn't have lived for 7 years. These Muppets took the bunny and killed it and now trying to make money out of it.
I don’t know where you live, but that would be cruel in my area to leave rabbits or guinea pigs outdoors. We have hawks everywhere and several foxes in my neighborhood. Also there are loud barking dogs next to the fence. Most people have chemically treated lawns. We also have harsh winters. To say they need to be outside isn’t safe or realistic for most people, since they are prey animals.
@@JA-oz8qy Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about Echo and her journey. Heartbreaking 😔 Animals so often suffer harsh treatment and abuse at the hands of humans.
I realize that my prior comment above would be considered extreme and somewhat anti progressive. All I know is that my bunnies very much enjoy their freedom and opportunities to graze in a space that is fully natural which is what I am fortunate to offer. They seem to be happy...content. The predators where I live are typically snakes and other domesticated neighborhood cats and dogs. However, it is more tropical in climate so no extreme weather conditions or temps. My backyard is also fully natural and studded which shrubs, lawn, fruit trees, a small koi pond and a concrete patio.
The rabbits have burrowed in areas around the yard and would usually go there during the day to stretch out and sleep. As mentioned, they also have their own isolated, lockable x pen's that I use when I need to keep them separated and there I keep their litter trays, pellet and water bowls and other tubes and misc play things. My buck spend most of his time in this space while the females prefer to lounge under tables and plants stands. At night they lounge on the lawn under our mango tree.
I came across a youtube channel recently that reminded me of my setup except that it was way more beautiful and rustic. All of the animals on this farm live harmoniously.... th-cam.com/video/M3g_ebjUuaY/w-d-xo.html
aww man 😕 i’m so glad there’s people like you guys out here 😕❤️
What an absolute cutie. Glad she’s in good hands.
Thank you guys 😢😢❤❤ so glad you saved her
Austin, I love what u do for all of your animals and I am 1000% sure that this rabbit is going live a wonderful life now. I litterally cried when I saw that cage. I am so happy Eva could help this poor rabbit.
Omg poor thing I can’t believe that it was in there for 7 years 😢
Also Austin if you end up seeing my comment, could you make a video all about how to take care of a bunny? I was planning on getting one as a pet. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much I enjoy watching your content.❤❤❤
Thank you to people like you two for actively helping with the rescue and aftercare and love for fur babies. You deserve the world. Thank you.
Thankyou guys for saving this little soul 🐰🐰

Tears from start to end 😭 we need an update and name! 💗🫶🏻 love this so much 😭
I'm so sorry for the loss of Echo she looked like my 1st bun Momo who was a mini lop. She was such a fun wee girl and it was thanks to other youtubers that I was able to educate my family on rabbits. I'm glad Echo got proper love towards the end, thank you for saving her and giving her the much needed love she deserved. Shame on the family for not knowing any better.
