Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
Here’s little about me!
My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My TH-cam channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

Hi happy tails
Happy Tails thanks 🙏 for the info and 👋🏻
Some of us kids that own rabbits take better care of them then adults do. Of course it depends on the person but still
I appreciate this video there is not only ONE way to care for an animal. Don’t listen to the bullies below, she didn’t say do or don’t she’s just saying you have options people🤷🏼♀️
I would like to add to the guinea pigs x rabbits myth. Guinea pigs and rabbits both carry bacteria that can be harmful to the other! Keeping them together can be dangerous because of fighting and illnesses. Its always better to keep a pair of pigs on their own!
I took my rabbit to the groomer but walked right out with him after I learned he planned on shaving him and bathing him!!!
Thank you so so much for not letting them bath him that really dose suck they wanted to
Is your bunny a lionhead
Ok, this information has really brought light to my life! lots of people we're telling me, he couldn't be potty trained being unneutered... Let alone have a companion.
I would love some more information!
I love your measured, level headed approach to to rabbit care. So many bunny channels and pages make these blanket statements and basically call you a monster for doing anything different. I’m an experienced rabbit owner who’s had rabbits for 16 years and I’ve broken many of the common bunny “rules”, but not without careful thought and consideration for our circumstances at the time.
Thank you for the appreciation!
I have a Netherlands’s dwarf he is grumpy but cute!
i have a netherland dwarf too!
is it just me or their ears don’t stay up.?
My rabbits ears are halfway down all the time
awesome vid! Love you channel, it’s been a huge inspiration for my own pet channel featuring my rabbit often as well as my other pets! Love your vids! Keep up the great work! ::)
My nephew is two and he absolutely loves my bunnies, it’s like the only time he’s calm is when he’s around my bunnies.
Don't let him hold it he can hurt it by mistake
@@geeta4175 shhh
I also have two unspayed bonded female rabbits. It really bothers me when people say you CANT bond a rabbit pair unless they are spayed or neutered. I do believe there are some reason to get your bunnies fixed but this is not one of them. Some pairs do better than others but it is not a steadfast rule. 🐰❤️👍🏻
I love this!! People have been telling me that I can't bond my rabbit because she isn't spayed. I'm glad to know that it could work :)
Meghan Dietz they could have babies
Its work two male rabbit live together....every rabbit have individual personality
I was told by my vet(s) that female bunnies are at a really high risk for uterine cancer if they aren't spayed. I've also heard this from people in my FB bunny group who had theirs spayed later on and found existing tumors. Can you speak on this? I've had both my girl and my boy spayed and neutered (my boy bun was getting aggressively amorous with her and spraying her constantly, which was affecting their bonding a lot), but apart from that I do think it's what you feel is best for you and your bun.
I'm sure my 15min video would be more elaborate than a comment from me, why not check that out?
I love rabbit I am 9
Yeah, definitely horrible advice to tell people not to fix them. You have 2 options. Fix them or breed them. That's it, anything else is harmful for your buddy.
Finally some one who understands my opinion
I love how you talked about spay and neutering being a personal choice not a care requirement. This is also what I teach on my channel. I made a video about it, giving different facts and opinions about desexing surgery and encouraging people to make their own choice based on what works best for their situation. 🐰❤️ I will be getting my boys that are not fixed fixed in December as to pre ent pregnancy, because that’s what’s best for my situation. 😁👍🏻
Thankyou for sharing this. We just recently got a friend for our bun. Both girls and both too young to be spayed. But I really cannot get myself to putting them through something so unnatural and painful. This gives me hope. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for the shout out!! I really appreciate it! The quiz was really fun to and you did a great job on it! You have great rabbit care advice and I have really enjoyed watching your videos! Merida is so cute!
Smokey Rabbits congratulations on high score 😁🐰❤️
This really helped me. Thanks a lot!❤ it is true that kids can be taught to be quiet and disciplined. I have 3 younger sisters (btw I'm 17 yrs old that's why I appriciate this video so much), a 12yr old, a 8yr old, and a 2yr old. Before I got my rabbit they were loud and they are hyper. But when I got Bonnie, he was a 1month old. So tiny and sensitive. I got him from an illegal breeder(I'm not proud of it but I did that to save him). So when I took Bonnie home they immediately fell inlove with him and adores him so much. So I told them that they need to be quiet and move accordingly so they won't scare Bonnie. They are willing to change so that Bonnie can be comfortable and they did. Now Bonnie is 3months old and they are still gentle around him. It is true that kids can be taught to be gentle and quiet. And it is true that when they want something they are willing to change and be responsible. So don't go out stereotyping kids. Because personally I grew out to be quiet and be sensitive around my surroundings.
Animals are so good for kids ❤
my rabbit was unexpected. it was a gift from my mom’s friend and i was scared for a bit. I started researching about rabbits since i fell in love in with him. Many people said that neutering a rabbit will prevent them from urine marking, will improve littering training, and make them less hormonal. When he was growing he did start to try to hump me, but now i can walk across from him and he’ll still chill. He also used to circle around me a lot but i haven’t seen him do that in a long time. (He’s about 1.5+ years old). He never urine marked (i have carpet flooring so if he did it would been easy to see and you wouldve smell it once you walked in my room) and he’s been a pro at using his liter box since day 1. After doing tons of research and hearing other people’s situation with their rabbits i’m not sure if i want to neuter him now. Rabbits are social but i feel like when i’m bonding my rabbit with another rabbit(male)he’ll start to fight. still gonna do more research tho. great video :)
thank you for being one of the only pet youtubers that doesn’t shit on everyone and tell everyone everything they’re doing “wrong”
I found this very informative even though I don't have rabbits (veggie mum to guinea pigs) but I enjoy learning about all animal welfare. So many thanks.
Same I wuv my cute piggy babies
Thanks for making this video because I have a rabbit and I really want to get her a friend but she can’t get spayed so thank you soo much
Great information! My bun is a New Zealand rescue we got as a 2 year old a year ago and my 5 year old daughter is: has always been amazing with him! So much so that I’m about to add a young doe to the mix!
*Lol you are just great!!! I got really confused about getting my new buns operated! Just saw your vid and channel, got the point why others say different things! They don’t simply own this much pets like you do!* 🌹❤️😍
I would love to see your other rabbits.
I have three rabbits (2 females and one male) so I got the male neutered so there wouldn’t be babies (the one female already had babies) so we had to get him neutered. Other wise the rest are not spayed. You had great answers for the myths. Thank you for saying that about kids, I’m a kid (won’t say my age) and I have three rabbits who I make videos about and I love them so much! They are indoor rabbits and are all bonded.
People on TH-cam are always saying that I cannot bond my bunny because she is not spayed. And I am a kid & I have a bunny I agree that they are great pets as long as the kids are gonna take care of them Properly.
Im so happy i found this i got hated on for not getting my rabbits spayed as people were saying how my rabbits will die early so im a murderer and i got really upset
Thanks a lot for this video... I've learned a lots of things...💗💗
Please don't trust what she says about fixing rabbits
Don't listen to all the haters
I love your videos xxxxx your the best xxxxxx and my favourite you tuber xxxx
Had a female jersey wholly spayed and she was six months old. Around year old she was a little snapping alligator, meanest little snot you’d ever meet. So no spaying doesn’t make them tamer.
Great vid!!! ♥
Thank you so so much for this video! I’m getting my bunno a friend (the friend will be desexed if I can help it) and so far there is this holland lop buck that I’m looking to adopt. His owners want him to go to a good home. The Holland lop is neutered and close to my area. My bunno is very sweet and surprisingly very well behaved, he has also was with one tan when he was very little before I got him.
All the other videos I see scare me about bonding my bunnies but I want them to have each other whenever I go to work so I’m dead set on this! ❤
I’m seeing a ton of comments on cancers in female rabbits but my big issue is I want to see the studies . Do these studies talk about the kinds of foods these rabbits eat ? I feed my rabbit only organic GMO free food and I’m luckily an herbalist so I have lots of calendula , plantain , and dandelion growing … How much of the hay is sprayed ? People feeding toxic foods to their animals which are also causing tumors/ cancers . But we don’t hear about that . I’d love to see you do a video on toxic animals foods . Love your Chanel ! Ty for being so brave to speak out .
Thank you. This is a very good point that not many people take into consideration.
Great video
My only main point to add (in terms of whether rabbits are cost effective) would be that another potential big cost is emergency vet bills. It’s always good if you can to have some money saved up for this purpose. You may not need to ever use it, and a lot of vets offer payment plans if you can’t afford their bill immediately, but if you can it saves a lot of trouble.
Secondly, on the veterinary subject, although it is less of a requirement in the USA, in other countries such as Australia you should also factor in the cost of vaccinating your rabbit(s), which needs to be done regularly. We have vaccines for most Calici strains here and even if your rabbit lives indoors which I believe they always should, the virus is mosquito borne and anyone that lives in Australia will tell you that mozzies will find their way inside the house no matter what you do so regular vaccinations are essential for rabbit safety.
Otherwise, this is a great, well balanced and non judgemental video ☺️
Thanks for 6! I was planning on getting a Flemish from a friend for my grandbabies. I did research and have since been having panic attacks from the info on the internet
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I want two female rabbits, but everyone said I needed to spay them. But I don't want two so that was really helpful! Thank you
No rabbits need to be spayed!! It is very necessary for them to have a happy healthy life! It's not a waste of money and it's riskier not to fix rabbits than it is to just fix them. I would reccomend watching Victoria Raechel's video on spaying and neutering rabbits
I have a bunny🐰 and nice video, your like one of the Only people on TH-cam that I can trust with animal facts and stuff
Definitely agree with this. I have 12 Unneutered/spayed bunnies... 7 girls and 5 boys. They all get along sometimes my boys fight but what siblings don't fight with each other. . i don't take my bunnies to the vet either. I am the vet. . My bunnies are healthy ❤
Do you think you could do a rabbit video with your other two rabbits?
I love your Channel 😍😁😁😁 And animals
new subscriber here! 😍 I'm scared cause I always watched advice that rabbit must be fixed. he's 1year old and he never stopped being cute.
I feel like the most common thing is over feeding nuggets. Hay should be around 80% of their diet with the last 20 being a mix of fresh vegetables, nuggets and foraging. Feeding rabbits too many nuggets and not enough hay is going to cause bloat, this is when the rabbit doesn’t have enough fibre, from hay, to move food along their digestive track which causes a blockage. This traps gas and causes them to bloat which can kill them if untreated. Another thing I see a lot is people not vaccinating their rabbits against RHD 1 and 2, and myxomatosis. Both of which are lethal if contracted. These vaccinations need to be done once a year, especially for outdoor rabbits.
So cute
i take good care of my rabbit,i am quiet and i do everything good but my dads voice is so loud and this scares my rabbit!what should i do?
l loved this video but can we litter train our rabbit without getting them spayed/neutered?
Love this video! I’m a bunny tuber
I watch other great TH-camrs such as Lennon the bunny and they say that neutering and spaying decrease the risk of certain illnesses and are great for when you are at a time when litter training is an issue. They also say rabbits shouldn't be kept outside and usually get less attention that an indoor rabbit would. I'm stuck on who to listen to, any more input from the viewers?
Just figure out what works best for you and what you feel is right for your pet. 🙂
@@HappyTailsAnimals thanks you for reading my comment! That's really helpful, I'll try my best to do what is right for her. I'm glad you replied so quickly!
I just got my rabbit spayed (she is about 9 months old), and they found out she was already developing uterus cancer and had ovarian cysts. So I’m really glad I chose to have her spayed. She also completely stopped biting us and stopped pooping and peeing everywhere. But I agree to consider this in a case to case basis. In the past I didn’t spay my females rabbits - and they were just fine!
This is a hard topic that defiantly depends on the owner and the pet. I have done tons of research and there are findings that have shown female rabbits have a significantly increased risk of developing uterine cancer if they are not spayed. I think everyone should do their own research and talk to their local rabbit vet to make the best decision!
@@ns-fi1vv Just because she has one bunny, doesn't mean she doesn't know what she is talking about. Not saying everything she says is true but she does know a lot about rabbits.
Interesting. I hadn't heard about what illnesses and diseases that are caused by spaying/neutering. Can you share your sources? I would like to read it(not being a smart alec or hateful, really am interested). Great video. Thank you. :)
Look at the description
It's not true
I have two female rabbits, born in July of this year. Should I get them spayed now or wait ?
Also you recommend getting them spayed together or weeks apart from each other?
If they are both spayed at the same time, is it best to keep them separated for a few days?
How long it takes them to heal?
I would recommend getting them spayed. And definitely keep them apart for at least two weeks. It takes a week or two for female rabbits to heal. I would do weeks apart to see how the first bunny recovers.
Hi happy trails
I love bunny’s 🐰and I love you!!!
IDEA: can you make a video on chicken 🐓 care because I’m going to get chickens
I subscribed like a year ago and I don’t regret it at all
You are so lucky 🍀 because you have so may animals 🐇 and I can’t have so many because I live with my mom and dad and sister and I’m 9 when I grow up I want to have a little zoo I would like:🐶🐱🐹🐭🐰🐣🐢🐍🐟🕷🐌🦋🦔🐎🐕🐑🐏🦎🐷
And that is a lot
So when I get a rabbit 🐇 I will remember this video!!
I found this info very interesting and I will use it!!
Anyway have a lovely evening and bye 👋🏻
I argree with all the information in this video. Rabbits have been part of my family for years and I have 3 younger siblings and they also take great care of them!
That's great! I think it can depend on the bunny and the kid(s), but isn't a blanket yes or no either way
Hi Megan do you have any netherland dwarf rabbits for sale ?
Can you help me please?? I got a mini Rex rabbit and he has a few spots where he has chewed the hair off. He is also scratching so I looked closely and he has fleas!!!! I can see them! How can I get rid of the fleas on my rabbit :(
I just adopted 2 Baby Buck Brothers. I keep getting told they need fixed at 4 months, & have to be separated before and 2 weeks after. Any info on have 2 boys together intact?
Meagan I Just got a rabbit about 6 months ago and he is still very shy. Do you have any tips? And if I Got a second Rabbit could that help bring him out of his shell?
Rabbits can take some time in order to be comfortable around new people. Some things you can do to help would be to let your rabbit come to you when he is ready. Just sitting near him and talking softly to him can get him more comfortable with you. Don't try to pet him or pick him up until he feels more safe. You can try to entice him to come up to you with some treats- I recommend dried carrots or freeze dried fruit in small quantities.
Great video!!! I have three rabbits. My two males are neutered. My female rabbit is not spayed and I am not going to do this until she is healthy. She is really friendly and I don't want to change her personality!!!
Please spay your female rabbit when you get the chance, it helps with bonding, litter-training, hormones, territorial issues and reduces the risk of cancer which is high in females. Also it shouldn't really alter your rabbit's personality if she's friendly :)
I go with rabbits to a very good vet. I did an ultrasound scan for my 2-year-old rabbit. She is healthy and so far there is no need to spay her. Narcosis is always a risk, and I'm not going to put her at risk unless it's necessary!!!
I have got 4 rabbits they are all girls and sisters and they live outside in a big shed and a big cage connected to the shed and they live great they love it and in the summer I put fans in the shed to keep them cool but in the winter I put heaters in the shed and they live perfect so I don't know why people are saying that rabbits must be inside and PS my rabbits are litter trained and not neutered and I am 13 years old
I think sheds are OK but not hutches outside a shed is protected from the elements so I think sheds are good and hutches are bad
I have a netharland daworf rabbit to
Omg so true I have 4 kids 3 girls and 1 boy and my kids are all very good with my hamsters and Guinea pigs they are very mature for their age so any pet can be good for any age as long as they are responsible for that living loving pet 💕💕💕💕💕
Also so true with rabbits and Guinea pigs thank you so much for this video it will help lots of people you are awsome girl 💕💕
A quick question, could you house a bunny in a play pen? I've seen a few animals have a play pen instead of a cage,so I'm wondering if it could work for rabbits too. If anyone knows please let me know.
isabella ciganek Yes they can. I house my bunnies in a x-pen
Alexandra Boos thanks for letting me know
My bunny Harmony just found out how high she can jump! Lol, how tall is the play pen?
I 110% agree with EVERYTHING you said! I am a rabbit breeder my self, and agree 110%
Jordanna Walter
Fellow breeder right here and agree just as much.
2020 has given me an opportunity to get and properly care for 2 rabbits and It was the best decision for me
All kids i knew are loudy. And u cant stop kids from cuddle and hugh it. Imagine when the rabbit struggle while kids try hugh it.
You are a kid.
Happy Tails no need to be rude. I understand this is based on breeder point of view. How ever i show ur vids to my vet and there many health advantages by spayed. About spayed the male only, are u sure? I work for rabbit rescue for 5 years and the female are leader of the colony, female will attack new bunny as soon as they see it. How ever the male are more compromise but they will battle with pee and pup to mark their space. You also generalize rabbit, others breed like holland loop and anggora need a lot of work and maintenance.
Why do you think that was rude? If you are a kid it's just a fact, you dont have to be ashamed of being a kid.
Happy Tails this is what happen when dealing with a breeder. Nope mam i' m an adult who valounter in rabbit rescue and take 5 of them to my home. I knew u make living as breeder, this is why u so defensive.
Your comment makes it very obvious that you are a child. No need to lie about it. I'm not a breeder. I make no money on my own animals. My full time job is TH-cam.
I have a boy un spayed rabbit and I saw vids when they have to be spayed so I got scared I had to waste over 1000 dollars because I wanted to pair two boys and I'm only 12 years old and working my hardest to get a second thank you for this information :)
Knowing rabbits the way you do, I gotta ask do you think female rabbits live longer if their spayed? Also what type hay is best for them?
Female rabbits have an 80% chance of developing uterine cancer by 2 years old, so i personally think spaying them is a good way to have them live a long and healthy life. If you are going to do the procedure just go for it, nothing to be afraid of :) As for the hay, i recommend 2nd cut Timothy hay for rabbits over 6 months. You can also mix it in with some Orchard grass hay to keep them up and active (Ofcourse only for rabbits over 6 months of age)
Ik this comment is really old but i have a question, if u have a male and a female rabbit that is bonded from a young age but dont want her to get pregnant what gender do i get spay or neutered?
Hi I have a male trio two are brothers that came together their two months old and the five month old we had two months before we got the other two they have all been in the same room and love each other and I’ve had no problem with bonding them at all! Do u think I need to neuter them? I’ve seen a lot of rabbits. Get fixed and there personally changed and they became mean! So I’m scared to do it! Please let me no what u think!!
Just speaking from personal experience, my four-year-old is an absolute dream with our rabbits. She’s quiet and gentle with them and loves to help and do my chores like making the salads and cleaning out the hutch that I choose to get for them. She loves to sit with them in the grass while they’re free roaming. Basically the only things I don’t let her do are cleaning the hutch and clipping nails. Besides that, she’s an amazing helper so it drives me crazy whenever people say that rabbits are good not animals for young children. She was always good with animals but our rabbits have taught her to be even more loving, gentle and caring than ever before.
My two year old is a different story but he’s getting better daily. 😉
can u plz do more vids on rabbits
You're so sweet . I freaked out when I read that unspayed rabbits get uterine cancer .
Thank you for your advice. People do Bully you into getting your single rabbit fixed. If your rabbit is a single rabbit there really isn't a reason to get them fixed
I had six bunnies one was a spayed neutered bonded pair they came to me like that rescues the female just passed away had a seizure and I just buried her I still got her neutered husband I got four other bunnies two intact males and two intact females so I can take one of my intact females and bonded with my neutered mail thank you
My bunnies are fight horrible. They are sister siblings and they are 16 weeks and alll of sudden fighting. Should i rehome the dominant one or separate pen them I’m so sad
Separate or spay.
6:24, I have a rabbit of my own.
I have two bunnies
I love this!!! Super great information and a wonderful, logical argument as to why desexing a rabbit isn’t necessary
As a rabbit breeder and shower I absolutely love this video. There are a lot of videos about rabbits out there that spread misinformation and diss responsible breeders like me. I do feed a diet of primarily pellets but my rabbits always have access to hay and get veggies every few days. We also give supplements to help with coat condition and growth in kits. Thank you for this true and informative video!
Im early 13th comment oh well nice vid
So true! I have 2 rabbits both unneuterd and they are the best of brothers and friends! And I have a pet cam so I can check on them and no fighting or nothing even some what concerning has happened. I chose not to nueter them and it's good for both me and my bunnies.
I currently have 2 unneutered male rabbits and when i put them together they wont stop humping
:(
I agree with your spaying and neutering point. Even just 5 years ago all vets were telling responsible dog and cat owners to spay and neuter their animals, and now we're finding out that it's harmful to spay them so early. I had rabbits growing up and they weren't fixed. They lived perfectly long lives.
Yes I agree!
I think there needs to be more research done into this subject. I have been trying to do my own, but the scientific research is not very concrete, and has not been done over a long period of time. No actual for real studies have been done on this. One study I found was done in a colony of rabbits, where the scientists monitored them. 79% of all female rabbits who died between the ages of 5 and 6 years old had uterine or ovarian cysts, but the scientists were not sure if the cysts even caused their deaths, or what even caused the cancer. There are certain breeds more prone to cancer than others, like Havanese, Dutch, and French Silver. These breeds have the highest chance of developing cancer according to scientists. I feel that more studies and research need done to say that people should spay their rabbits to avoid cancer. It took vets years to figure out that early spay and neuter causes cancer in dogs.
How about them being held? Is that something that is unlikely or is it similar to cats where if done carefully from a young age they’ll get used to it
Hi
What gender bunny is the best to get ?
They need to be kept in pairs so probably 2 females they will both need to be spayed tho
They don’t have to be in pairs...
Do you have any lionheads
I got my rabbit from a farm they had Guinea pigs living with them
My six girls would never be spayed. My male is neutered. All 7 of my rabbits live together
Autumn Willow that’s so awesome that they are all bonded. All my boys go for neutering in December & I hope to bond as many as possible 🐰❤️
Next myth: kids can’t have rabbits
Happy tails: that is not true
Me: that is a LIE! I’ve had two pet rabbits (none were spayed or neutered) their names were Buttercup and Bella, and if I say so myself, I think i took great care of my rabbits. And I was a kid
Love you’re channel!
Other myth: rabbits can’t be kept outside
Me: I kept my rabbits outside unless it’s the winter!
It’s Sarah Domestic rabbits shouldn’t be kept outside though..
*Bold Name* mine was from a breeder who kept theirs outside, and it was a hutch, so it’s fine
It’s Sarah no it is not fine. just because your “breeder” kept their rabbit in a hutch doesn’t mean it’s fine. did you know that breeders aren’t always correct about everything? keeping a rabbit outside in blistering heat and cold winters is straight up abuse. while you’re inside with the a/c or heating on, your rabbit is uncomfortable and lonely outside
akima hill thank you
akima hill well, how do you think wild rabbits survive? Where I live, it doesn’t get extremely hot, or cold, so I think that it just matters on where you live. And I took mine inside everyday and played with it, so it wasn’t lonely. (I’m talking about my rabbit, I do realize that other people can be selfish, and not treat them the kind way I do.) and just for your information, it would not be abuse, because wild rabbits live in worse conditions, so don’t you think that these rabbits are fine? Some (I’m not saying all) rabbits enjoy being outside, especially mine. Hope you have a nice rest of your day!🙂
haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Very Odd.. Cuz i Just Got my New Bunny Named Peter.. Soo i clicked this
Rabbits are so CUTE
don’t bunnies have a 70-80% chance of getting ovarian cancer?
yes for female rabbits. it is definitely recommend to spay your rabbit however, it is up to the owner.
I 100% agree with all of this myths. I just want to ad that the bigger the rabbit is, the bigger is the chance it wouldn’t survive a castration or spay. I know a veterinarian that doesn’t do castration or spay because most of them die.
I have one castrated male because I wanted to have a buddy to my female. He is a small Rex and he hade some negative side effects. Rabbits are sensitive to operate because their heart can stop. But also after the operation their tract don’t want to start. That happened to him. I hade to help him start eating again by feeding him a sort of pap every four hour. He started eating after a couple of days but it’s common that they will die.
I just want people to know what risk it is. 😊
I heard that you shouldn't have guinea pigs and rabbits near each other because rabbits can spread an air born illness that effects guinea pigs, is this true?
Yea that's true, you are talking about E.C.
When is it too late to neuter a Male rabbit?
My rabbit LOVES water she tries to jump in the bathtub with me.
Any one have two unneutered male rabbit.
I know that spaying and neutering isn’t suitable for many rabbits and they’re situation, but don’t females have a percentage of about 60% of developing ovarian cancer after 5 years of age
Also I don't understand why people say rabbits can't live outdoors. What about the wild rabbits?? I do not believe the crap that people claim natural instincts are lost.
Most outdoor rabbits, especially in the United States, are kept in very small hutches or wire cages. This exposes the animal to all weather elements- wild rabbits would be able to find shelter in order to deal with the weather. The cages are also inadequate for rabbit exercise requirements, and the rabbits receive less interaction and are often forgot about. For these reason most people suggest that rabbits live indoors because their needs would be more likely to be met. That's not to say that they couldn't be met in a suitable outdoor enclosure. Erin's Ark on youtube has really good care for her outdoor rabbits if you are interested!
Meghan Dietz Rabbits can be kept outdoors we have kept some of ours outdoors but now they are all in a barn.
@@mlive12398 I thought Erin had two indoor rabbits that passed away and said she wouldn't get any more? I used to watch her channel a few years ago :)
