A few weeks ago I emailed a craigslist bunny ad explaining how adding hay, a litter box, and a bigger pen would really improve the bunny's mood and overall lifestyle. The person emailed me back about a week later saying that it made all the difference and that they've decided to keep the bunny and care for it better because of my email :) Since then, I've been emailing and texting craigslist ads urging them to charge rehoming fees, improve the bunny's habitat, and just overall tips on rehoming, as well! Love this video!
that's amazing!! i'm so glad u managed to save that bunny just by sending a quick email! i think i'll give it a try, too, there are so many bunny ads where i am and it breaks my heart
Me at the first call: *awww there's such sweet people around! I'm so happy the bunny's safe!* Me at the second call: *i take it all back. People suck. How rude. That poor bunny*
@@garythelifesquirrel3066 No, but people in Ravenclaw have an eagle mascot, but the films and most merch use a raven...so I thought maybe she was reclaiming the eagle by being eagleclaw. I'm rereading the books know and am on Goblet of Fire. I'm an expert!!
I want to breed rabbits but my bunnies would have to go to a very good home. I have to be certain they are going to look after the bunnies properly. If I wasn't certain, I would keep the babies untils theres a good home for the bunny
It's a bad way to express herself, but I don't think she meant the bunnies were crappy, more that the breeding results weren't what they planned. Breeding is way more complicated than people think and ideally, no one should be breeding except those that are experts in genetics and maintaining healthy breeds (of other species as well) which is an extremely costly job. The problem is people think breeding is a way to make an easy buck or two.
@@amsaric it still makes me sad. My bunny was turned down at the rescue for his red eyes so it's a touchy subject. I mean if someone called a child "crappy" everyone would be up in arms. I'm glad my bun is neutered so I don't ever have to deal with that!
@@serene1178 ikr bunny’s are little angels from heaven. They shouldn’t be anywhere near anyone like that. And she should ABSOLUTELY NOT be getting money from selling them without any care for the bunnies and being RUDE to someone trying to help them. I don’t like to use the term Karen (cause I feel bad for anyone actually named Karen that is an amazing person) but she is the definition of a Karen.
I don’t see meat rabbits as bad. If every part of them is used. Just like cows, chickens, pigs among others. It’s a good source and some people it’s easier to afford or find rabbit rather than other meats.
Jane Katzer you are such a wonderful person, you are making a difference in the world. Calling people can change their whole view, I am sure your work has helped many bunnies. I am so grateful for watching this video and I am asking my friends to join me in calling craigslist ads.
Please stop reporting them! We rescued a few bunnies and are trying to get them homes by selling them on craiglist who are people who keep them FREE ROAM cause we are in a situation where we are to poor to do that!!
Don't report ads, some people can't give proper care to rabbits and Craigslist is the only way they can advertise them and find them good, loving homes.
This triggered my anxiety. I’m so glad you’re able to do this because that’s something I could never do. I adopted my rabbit a week and a half ago and thanks to this channel she has an amazing life! She was found in deplorable conditions, and is such a loving and affectionate creature. Thank you for this channel!
Seriously! I have a hard time just calling to make appointments. I had to make a couple calls while I was looking to get a dog and had such bad anxiety, before and after.

Hey Lorelei, I recently lost my little bunny from a vet error during neutering...just wanted to say thanks for making all these videos and spreading awareness on how to take care of bunnies.
This why neutering is not recommended by rabbit showers. Aka ARBA. And other knowledgeable rabbit breeders. Rabbits are prey animals, and often they can't survive a surgery like that
I actually adopted two 8 week old bunnies from craigslist because I saw that they were being advertised as "easter bunnies" and that you should get them for "easter" and I am very against getting bunnies for easter. They were dwarf holland lop mixes and were being marketed for 25 dollars each which in my opinion is still a dangerously low price especially if you are selling on craigs list. I rescued both of them and they are now litter box trained free roam bunnies. I took them to the vet about 2 weeks after I got them. They were a little bit underweight because their previous owner wasn't feeding them enough hay. Now they're fine and we have a spay and neuter scheduled in a few months. Their names are now Jackson and Stella, and they are my best friends!
The first person was so nice! I'm so glad that she was open to that idea! You are awesome and what you do is awesome, I'm glad you could at least help someone who wanted to listen.
It's all in how you word it. It is very possible to have rescue rabbits and other rabbits for show. It is something people do nothing wrong with it if you know what your doing.
❌❌VARNING❌❌ Too everybody watching this! Loreli said that wrong! They should not be sold by 6 weeks! You need too wait inuti they are 8 weeks! Some babies still eat the moms milk when they are 6 weeks and can get sick if they leave the mother on 6 weeks or before!🚫🚫 Do not buy a Bunny that is under 8 weeks!!
Actually 6 weeks is not that bad, because some rabbits will stop drinking with thier mother at 6 weeks. But since every rabbit is different you wouldn't know for sure if they stopped drinking. Unless you watch them drink. Btw i am not pointing out on you, i think it is a good thing you put it here. And i would probably buy one at 12 weeks. It was just a fact i wanted to share.
Our friends let us keep the mother for 2 weeks because they weren't old enough (we got them from our friends)they were 9 weeks when the mother left them 😀
Let’s talk about the fact that they can die from eating fresh veggies before twelve weeks. My father defied me on this point, fed a litter of kits under twelve weeks old at the same time he fed a group of kits older than 12 weeks... guess which litter suffered a fatality. You never want to be at the death bed of a kit dying of severe and painful intestinal spasms. It is excruciatingly heartbreaking.
Sam Laughrey I’m getting mad because all you guys think that only bunnies are show quality when their not. She said bad show quality she didn’t say the rabbit was ugly she just said the rabbit was not to be showed
I recently just emailed a craigslist bunny and explained how there are different types of hay and linked her to Lennon the Bunny's video about the different types of hay so that she can be educated that there are hays out there that might not affect her allergies as much and how using an air purifier is truly a life saver for us with those allergies. She has decided to keep the bunny and try the different things that I suggested!
Backyard breeders don't care. They want a quick buck and are always quick to get defensive with "oh, I have EXPERIENCE" even though they can never give you an example of said experience other than selling the same baby animals.
I totally forgot she was using the voice muffler and when she said " that lady was so nice I thought what I thought that sounded like a guy .. *clicked* oWh the voice changer yep ._.
I got my bunny on craigslist a few months after my first one passed away. I looked at ads for months because I was missing her so much but never got one.Then one day I was at school and saw an ad for a little chocolate colored bun named "Sparkles" popped up for $10. I instantly contacted the person but she didnt respond. Then I said I'd pay double and she got back to me right away. So glad I got HIM (definitely changed his name to Mocha). Hes the best bun and now lives the free roam life with his bun wife, Tiramisu!😊 I wish people understood the love a bunny can give. Let's make free roaming the new norm!❤
This video was beautiful. Thank you so much Lorelei I just got a bunny off of craigslist 2 days ago and she’s getting pretty used to my family already, I could never imagine her anywhere else. She’s so playful and adorable, and her breeder took good care of her before I adopted her. I love my cocoa 💜 🥰
you should do more videos like this one! you have such a kind heart and Lennon is definitely blessed to have you as her mother. this video hopefully will inspire more people to do videos like this so that more rabbits will be helped.
7:52 MY FIRST DOG DIED BEING SECRETLY SEPARATED FROM IT’S MOM! I am so mad at that person who sold her to us because we needed to go to vet everyday and she died in about 3 months
My bestfried got her puppy at 2 month? Was told to be a "pure bred" ( she was not searching for that , but the race fit her lifestyle) wich it wasn't and when she got there , it was a puppymil. The dogs where in boxes and the person who sold them just shake the box up and down and told her " she's a tough one ,see?!" She took the puppy and called animal protection after. And the old owner called her like 2 weeks after telling her that they mix the puppy with another one and to return the puppy she had. The puppy almost die maaany time. It's been 3 years and she a happy border collie x labrador mix :) But man does i hate when people breed animal without any knowledge about how to care for them
I see a lot of comments about the “crappy bunnies” lady, but I’m honestly happy she changed. It’s still not right to call bunnies crappy but, I’m glad she learned.
Early I love watching you guys I lost my rabbit 3 months ago it’s makes things easier watching you and Lennon I still cry while watching ur videos thank you 🤧
I wish I had found your channel before we got our family bunny. I had thought that she would be similar to a hamster or rodent, but obviously that is not the case. She is absolutely my world, I wish now I would have known better to give her a better first few years of life. We got her from Craigslist for $15 from a breeder when she was four or five months old, and when we got her we were completely uneducated. The fee is absolutely terrifying to think that she could have ended up as snake food. She's 4 years old now and is living a much better life than initially, and even now I'm still learning so much and working hard to make sure she lives the best life she can. Rabbits are such misunderstood animals, it really is horrible the misinformation that is out there, and I am so glad that you are here to shed light on some of the facts that are often buried ❤️
hey lorelei! I just wanted to say a couple things about breeding/showing rabbits. I think in previous videos you said you don’t know much about the topic… I show a “breeder rabbit” for my local FFA chapter. I personally don’t breed rabbits because I don’t have enough room to properly keep all the babies and enough time to take care of them. But I bought my rabbit from a breeder who I insured took proper care of them. When I went to her to buy my rabbit I asked her what kind of conditions the rabbits were kept in and she was actually very understanding about my wanting to ensure that they were coming from a good home. She immediately opened up her camera roll and started showing me a couple pictures of the room where she kept her rabbits. She kept them all in X pens when they were babies with their mom and when she started weaning them at seven weeks she separated them out into large 4 ft by 2 1/2 fr wire dog cages (i got a mini rex so at this age they are only about 2 lbs aka not very big and didn’t require an immense amount of room) . they received plenty of hay and vegetables every day along with woden toys for stimulation and entertainment. when I bought her I really wanted to make sure that I was only getting here for me safe breeder who treated her animals right. now. I have had my rabbit for two years and I keep her in a large x pen that is attached to an always open dog cage like hers. my 4.5 lb rabbit has about 32 ft² of enclosure to roam around all day long along with a litter box with hay, vegetables, toys, (all the other things you have spoken about). it’s really sad to me that about 90% of people in the rabbit showing industry don’t treat their rabbits right and often use inappropriate and unhealthy breeding methods and what not. I have put together a program for my schoolsFFA chapter that outlines all the requirements of nutrition, housing, and stimulation that rabbits require and have worked with my teacher to get this information out to everyone. We even held a fundraiser to help raise money for those who couldn’t afford the set up for the rabbit. I really just wanted to let you know that there are some good people who want what is best for their rabbit in the show world. Unfortunately as you have said the majority of them do not. I am really grateful for all the videos and work you put into your channel as they have taught me so much and have helped many of my friends. Please continue to do what you do and educate owners/save rabbits!❤️
@@DavidWaller123 no definitely not. it’s done a lot of good for me, but sadly there’s bad people in every organization. i’ve done my best to educate all my friends and make sure that all of our show animals are living the best lives possible.
I have a very beautiful white bunny with red eyes, he has grey ears and a grey tail. I had him for almost 8 years now, he has always been free roamed and I never even thought about keeping him in a cage :) I’m so glad that u do this for the bunnies, it really means a lot of me, so many bunnies suffer because people can’t take care of them properly.
i did this once and the guy was very old so he said “little girl, i know how to raise rabbits. i have done it for 27 years and i think i know more than a first time rabbit owner.” then i politely tried to tell him not to use wire bottom cages and not to house rabbits outdoors just because i was concerned for the bunnies well being. he told me that he was an experienced rabbit “breeder” (it was very obviously a mill) i said “please take those things into consideration” and hung up.
Straight up, if any man calls you a little girl again, please tell them you're a grown woman! I'm not a feminist, but I'm sick of this Good old boys, I'm better than you I can do what I want attitudes old men have. This is why women get r*ped. Sorry. Having a crap day.
Mini Wolfsbane Please, look up the definition of a feminist. It's possible you would not be so keen to disclaim that you aren't one if you knew what it actually means.
i dont think it was a mill i think that you guys are so sensitive before rabbits were reconsidered as a pet rabbits did JUST FINE LIVING IN THE WILD you people need to wake up!!!
Thanks for doing this, Lorelei. You’ve helped me with more talking points. I actually spent last night emailing people on Craigslist who were giving away rabbits near me. Really stressful, but hopefully some people will make adjustments!
Great video! The phone call and sweet speech you gave starting around 20:00 mins almost made me cry! 😭😭😭 I hope she keeps the bunny! Also, wouldnt it be so great if she decided to look up bunny care videos after and found your videos 🤗🤣
Hearing that lady say the red eyed white rabbits were "crappy" hurt me cuz my first rabbit was a red eyes New Zealand and he is the most adorable bunny ever. Just because his eyes look "different" doesnt make him any less of a rabbit 💔
I actually got my rabbit two weeks ago from a breeder for 10$, this was before I started watching your videos. Had I watched them beforehand I would've most definitely taken your advice, but I dont regret getting my bunny. Shes only about 6 weeks old but she's doing just fine! I love her and she's become really active and full of energy!
I got my rabbit in may and shortly found you after. You gave me so much guidance and helped me give my rabbit the best life, she is now spayed and free roamed and perfect with the litter, she loves all types of veggies and is extremely happy. My rabbit HATED her cage and was very unhappy, as soon as I let her free roam she rewarded me more than I rewarded her it felt, she is more affectionate then my cats☺️
I just adopted my rabbit (7months) today from a Craigslist ad. I’ve been binging your videos and my rabbit is happy as ever. She’s free roam but has my walk in closet turned bunny bedroom( I just moved all my stuff to another closet) she’s adjusting so well. Thank you for all your pointers!
Love this video idea! Craigslist needs some way of monitoring the prices of pets man, shits so sad to see bunnies on sale for $10 because people just wanna get rid of them. And that’s just bunnies, I don’t even wanna know about how they’re selling other animals
I love how passionate you are about bunnies. I would totally do the same if I wasn't socially anxious 😔 I take care of my 5 little ones, one I received from a pet store. Shes currently living her best life rn 🎉
Fennec mouse hi. 🥺 I wrote that message along long time ago. My bunny was attacking me..... and being rlly aggressive so we had to give her away. But now she is free range around this woman’s house with tons of hay and veggies and her own little rabbit area
Pandas rule Yas lmaooooo I posted that so long ago about that.... yeahzzz so she was mean and would attack me so we gave her to this reallyyyy experienced girl and she has free roam of the full house and is living her best live
I was so sad with the first call. I’m SO glad that that person was open to your advice and loved their animals. Thank you for saving these sweet animals!

Stop begging and just ask her instead please
I actually adopted two 8 week old bunnies from craigslist because I saw that they were being advertised as "easter bunnies" and that you should get them for "easter" and I am very against getting bunnies for easter. They were dwarf holland lop mixes and were being marketed for 25 dollars each which in my opinion is still a dangerously low price especially if you are selling on craigs list. I rescued both of them and they are now litter box trained free roam bunnies. I took them to the vet about 2 weeks after I got them. They were a little bit underweight because their previous owner wasn't feeding them enough hay. Now they're fine and we have a spay and neuter scheduled in a few months. Their names are now Jackson and Stella, and they are my best friends!
omg that is so sweet!
Sweet
Yay! 🤗❤️
so cute !!
Where I live, all the pet stores refuse to sell rabbits at easter
That second lady was so mean like I mean Lorelei was being very nice to her and she just hung up 🙄
The first person was so nice! I'm so glad that she was open to that idea! You are awesome and what you do is awesome, I'm glad you could at least help someone who wanted to listen.
The first one made me so damn sad they seemed to care a lot
I knowwww, and the last one tooo
@@Megweave Cool!
11:00 so they are “all rescues” yet she breeds them all for shows... something doesn’t add up.
CrazyBunny Lady no she said some are rescues and she also breeds some
@@jewelbrie1555 thats what she just said
@@mousepat9371 No it's all in how you word it.
It's all in how you word it. It is very possible to have rescue rabbits and other rabbits for show. It is something people do nothing wrong with it if you know what your doing.
She said they have their own breeding stock but also rescue from auction houses and rehome the rescues. (Questionably...)

Too everybody watching this! Loreli said that wrong! They should not be sold by 6 weeks! You need too wait inuti they are 8 weeks! Some babies still eat the moms milk when they are 6 weeks and can get sick if they leave the mother on 6 weeks or before!🚫🚫 Do not buy a Bunny that is under 8 weeks!!
Actually 6 weeks is not that bad, because some rabbits will stop drinking with thier mother at 6 weeks. But since every rabbit is different you wouldn't know for sure if they stopped drinking. Unless you watch them drink. Btw i am not pointing out on you, i think it is a good thing you put it here. And i would probably buy one at 12 weeks. It was just a fact i wanted to share.
Warning*
No she said that babies stop feeding on their mothers milk at 6 weeks and then she said it is illigal to sell bunnies that are under 8 weeks old
Our friends let us keep the mother for 2 weeks because they weren't old enough (we got them from our friends)they were 9 weeks when the mother left them 😀
Let’s talk about the fact that they can die from eating fresh veggies before twelve weeks. My father defied me on this point, fed a litter of kits under twelve weeks old at the same time he fed a group of kits older than 12 weeks... guess which litter suffered a fatality. You never want to be at the death bed of a kit dying of severe and painful intestinal spasms. It is excruciatingly heartbreaking.
I like how you want to educate and change their mind and save the bunnies, love you and Lennon soo much
"he uses the litter box too" that was hilarious!!
This is good to give them pointers because Bunny's deserve good homes!! My bunny died but have a good time with Lennon wile you can!
When she said crappy bunnies I was like every bunny is beautiful 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
she men't BAD SHOW QUALITY
Sam Laughrey I’m getting mad because all you guys think that only bunnies are show quality when their not. She said bad show quality she didn’t say the rabbit was ugly she just said the rabbit was not to be showed
Sam Laughrey I don’t have a problem if they would stop saying she was wrong for calling the rabbit not showable.
Every rabbit is beautiful
I recently just emailed a craigslist bunny and explained how there are different types of hay and linked her to Lennon the Bunny's video about the different types of hay so that she can be educated that there are hays out there that might not affect her allergies as much and how using an air purifier is truly a life saver for us with those allergies. She has decided to keep the bunny and try the different things that I suggested!
That’s so weird that lady released them at 4 weeks!!
I had bunnies and they still wanted their mother after 7 or 8 weeks
i got my bunnies at 7 weeks old it’s definitely not ok for them to be released at 4 weeks !
Backyard breeders don't care. They want a quick buck and are always quick to get defensive with "oh, I have EXPERIENCE" even though they can never give you an example of said experience other than selling the same baby animals.
I got my bunny at 4 months he is now 2 years he is super sweet and was saved from the paradise fire
The bunnies can die if they are separated from they’re mother to early
Sunset’s Savannah exactly
Its really sad how people dont think animals have feelings like us.
I do hope that means you are vegan, cause chickens and cows have feelings too.
@@wheenmist you got a point! I like it.

Not all do, snakes don't have the capacity to love. They're brains are too tiny. Survival outweighed the need for compassion.
The people who listened to lorreli 's pointers will make the bunnies lives so much better , I hope they all end up in good and loving homes 😊🐇
I totally forgot she was using the voice muffler and when she said " that lady was so nice I thought what I thought that sounded like a guy .. *clicked* oWh the voice changer yep ._.
Oh that makes a whole lot more sense!
Brittany Main LITERALLY, and I was like “wow he has such a chill voice LMAO”
Idk i heard the ladies voice.
I got my bunny on craigslist a few months after my first one passed away. I looked at ads for months because I was missing her so much but never got one.Then one day I was at school and saw an ad for a little chocolate colored bun named "Sparkles" popped up for $10. I instantly contacted the person but she didnt respond. Then I said I'd pay double and she got back to me right away. So glad I got HIM (definitely changed his name to Mocha). Hes the best bun and now lives the free roam life with his bun wife, Tiramisu!😊 I wish people understood the love a bunny can give. Let's make free roaming the new norm!❤
This video was beautiful. Thank you so much Lorelei I just got a bunny off of craigslist 2 days ago and she’s getting pretty used to my family already, I could never imagine her anywhere else. She’s so playful and adorable, and her breeder took good care of her before I adopted her. I love my cocoa 💜 🥰
This had a pretty high success rate. 👍 I'm so impressed with you. I thought more would get angry.
I thought they would tell her to get lost if she wasn't interested in taking or buying the bunny.
you should do more videos like this one! you have such a kind heart and Lennon is definitely blessed to have you as her mother. this video hopefully will inspire more people to do videos like this so that more rabbits will be helped.
This was brave! it makes me nervous just emailing people posting ads on craigslist to give advice.
You encouraged me to keep doing it!
When she said anyone could pull out ten dollar lmfao..
I was like not me😂😂😂
But even a homeless person can give you $10!!! A homeless person better make sure its fat rabbit since that is most certainly gonna be dinner lmfao
I don't have a penny. I'm broke af.

I’m not questioning your judgement

Yes, I am
It's actually rude she didn't give them the opportunity to say if it ok if I call you before calling you up?!

40 minutes before my college psychology final... but Lorelei posted so studying can wait
Miss Nicole Arie how did you do!?
Yow lol, I was studying too.
Good luck! ✌❤
I know you mean well but you should have studied instead and watched the video another day, school is very important.
U made my day miss nicole arie 😊
“I could keep them”
“But I need to get rid of them”

I love these videos it truly shows that you can change a rabbits life by just picking up your phone.
7:52 MY FIRST DOG DIED BEING SECRETLY SEPARATED FROM IT’S MOM!
I am so mad at that person who sold her to us because we needed to go to vet everyday and she died in about 3 months
I am so sorry for your loss 😔
Same my 1yr old pup was hit by a car
My bestfried got her puppy at 2 month? Was told to be a "pure bred" ( she was not searching for that , but the race fit her lifestyle) wich it wasn't and when she got there , it was a puppymil. The dogs where in boxes and the person who sold them just shake the box up and down and told her " she's a tough one ,see?!"
She took the puppy and called animal protection after. And the old owner called her like 2 weeks after telling her that they mix the puppy with another one and to return the puppy she had.
The puppy almost die maaany time.
It's been 3 years and she a happy border collie x labrador mix :)
But man does i hate when people breed animal without any knowledge about how to care for them
She said the first one was a girl I THOUGHT IT WAS A DUDE lol
Her at the start of a conversation: Yes hi-
Me: Ima give you some advice, and you're going to *use* this advice. *BY FORCE* .

SAMEEE
Also same.

I see a lot of comments about the “crappy bunnies” lady, but I’m honestly happy she changed. It’s still not right to call bunnies crappy but, I’m glad she learned.
Early I love watching you guys I lost my rabbit 3 months ago it’s makes things easier watching you and Lennon I still cry while watching ur videos thank you 🤧
Waiting to see how they will initially react is so intense LOL
You are so brave for doing this and the first call proves that it's worth it
I wish I had found your channel before we got our family bunny. I had thought that she would be similar to a hamster or rodent, but obviously that is not the case. She is absolutely my world, I wish now I would have known better to give her a better first few years of life. We got her from Craigslist for $15 from a breeder when she was four or five months old, and when we got her we were completely uneducated. The fee is absolutely terrifying to think that she could have ended up as snake food. She's 4 years old now and is living a much better life than initially, and even now I'm still learning so much and working hard to make sure she lives the best life she can. Rabbits are such misunderstood animals, it really is horrible the misinformation that is out there, and I am so glad that you are here to shed light on some of the facts that are often buried ❤️
Damn the way she called them out thoooo serves them right
hey lorelei! I just wanted to say a couple things about breeding/showing rabbits. I think in previous videos you said you don’t know much about the topic… I show a “breeder rabbit” for my local FFA chapter. I personally don’t breed rabbits because I don’t have enough room to properly keep all the babies and enough time to take care of them. But I bought my rabbit from a breeder who I insured took proper care of them. When I went to her to buy my rabbit I asked her what kind of conditions the rabbits were kept in and she was actually very understanding about my wanting to ensure that they were coming from a good home. She immediately opened up her camera roll and started showing me a couple pictures of the room where she kept her rabbits. She kept them all in X pens when they were babies with their mom and when she started weaning them at seven weeks she separated them out into large 4 ft by 2 1/2 fr wire dog cages (i got a mini rex so at this age they are only about 2 lbs aka not very big and didn’t require an immense amount of room) . they received plenty of hay and vegetables every day along with woden toys for stimulation and entertainment. when I bought her I really wanted to make sure that I was only getting here for me safe breeder who treated her animals right. now. I have had my rabbit for two years and I keep her in a large x pen that is attached to an always open dog cage like hers. my 4.5 lb rabbit has about 32 ft² of enclosure to roam around all day long along with a litter box with hay, vegetables, toys, (all the other things you have spoken about). it’s really sad to me that about 90% of people in the rabbit showing industry don’t treat their rabbits right and often use inappropriate and unhealthy breeding methods and what not. I have put together a program for my schoolsFFA chapter that outlines all the requirements of nutrition, housing, and stimulation that rabbits require and have worked with my teacher to get this information out to everyone. We even held a fundraiser to help raise money for those who couldn’t afford the set up for the rabbit. I really just wanted to let you know that there are some good people who want what is best for their rabbit in the show world. Unfortunately as you have said the majority of them do not. I am really grateful for all the videos and work you put into your channel as they have taught me so much and have helped many of my friends. Please continue to do what you do and educate owners/save rabbits!❤️
Good for u🙂
Finally someone who speaks the truth
Wow it’s amazing that you took the time to write your comment! I found that very interesting thanks!
Is ffa bad
@@DavidWaller123 no definitely not. it’s done a lot of good for me, but sadly there’s bad people in every organization. i’ve done my best to educate all my friends and make sure that all of our show animals are living the best lives possible.
I have a very beautiful white bunny with red eyes, he has grey ears and a grey tail. I had him for almost 8 years now, he has always been free roamed and I never even thought about keeping him in a cage :) I’m so glad that u do this for the bunnies, it really means a lot of me, so many bunnies suffer because people can’t take care of them properly.
Make this a series! It’s so sad to know that this is happening all around the world and this inspired me to start texting people in my area
i did this once and the guy was very old so he said “little girl, i know how to raise rabbits. i have done it for 27 years and i think i know more than a first time rabbit owner.” then i politely tried to tell him not to use wire bottom cages and not to house rabbits outdoors just because i was concerned for the bunnies well being. he told me that he was an experienced rabbit “breeder” (it was very obviously a mill) i said “please take those things into consideration” and hung up.
Straight up, if any man calls you a little girl again, please tell them you're a grown woman! I'm not a feminist, but I'm sick of this Good old boys, I'm better than you I can do what I want attitudes old men have. This is why women get r*ped. Sorry. Having a crap day.
I wish we could just punch people through phones.
Mini Wolfsbane Please, look up the definition of a feminist. It's possible you would not be so keen to disclaim that you aren't one if you knew what it actually means.
I mean he's not wrong🤔
i dont think it was a mill i think that you guys are so sensitive before rabbits were reconsidered as a pet rabbits did JUST FINE LIVING IN THE WILD you people need to wake up!!!
I love the white bunny’s with red eyes, the fact that somebody called them crappy bunnies really made me mad that there are people like that
I agree! There so cute!
My sister is terrified of bunnies with red eyes
Thanks for doing this, Lorelei. You’ve helped me with more talking points. I actually spent last night emailing people on Craigslist who were giving away rabbits near me.
Really stressful, but hopefully some people will make adjustments!
Great video! The phone call and sweet speech you gave starting around 20:00 mins almost made me cry! 😭😭😭 I hope she keeps the bunny!
Also, wouldnt it be so great if she decided to look up bunny care videos after and found your videos 🤗🤣
I really admire this girl for doing this. Honestly I'd have to much of a heart attack calling people to give advice lol
This is amazing ❤ That first guy was so sweet.
Hearing that lady say the red eyed white rabbits were "crappy" hurt me cuz my first rabbit was a red eyes New Zealand and he is the most adorable bunny ever. Just because his eyes look "different" doesnt make him any less of a rabbit 💔
Totally agree! My first bunnies were red eyes. And my two rats have red eyes, the best pets I’ve ever had!
Yes I agree I have a red eyed white bunny and love him so much!
I like albino/red eyed bunnies. They are so underrated and disliked cause of their eye color. Seriously, talk about heartless.
Mariika Daly they look cool in my opinion 🥺💘
I actually got my rabbit two weeks ago from a breeder for 10$, this was before I started watching your videos. Had I watched them beforehand I would've most definitely taken your advice, but I dont regret getting my bunny. Shes only about 6 weeks old but she's doing just fine! I love her and she's become really active and full of energy!
Me: **Reads Title**
Tea is about to be SPILLED ☕️
Estie your emoji is coffee
I got my rabbit in may and shortly found you after. You gave me so much guidance and helped me give my rabbit the best life, she is now spayed and free roamed and perfect with the litter, she loves all types of veggies and is extremely happy. My rabbit HATED her cage and was very unhappy, as soon as I let her free roam she rewarded me more than I rewarded her it felt, she is more affectionate then my cats☺️
I just adopted my rabbit (7months) today from a Craigslist ad. I’ve been binging your videos and my rabbit is happy as ever. She’s free roam but has my walk in closet turned bunny bedroom( I just moved all my stuff to another closet) she’s adjusting so well. Thank you for all your pointers!
Love this video idea!
Craigslist needs some way of monitoring the prices of pets man, shits so sad to see bunnies on sale for $10 because people just wanna get rid of them. And that’s just bunnies, I don’t even wanna know about how they’re selling other animals
My hubby and I have a bunny and we wouldn't trade her for the world.
aww❤️
that first call really put a smile on my face :’)
:’)
I have my bunny for like 1 month and he is my best friend😂 Hes freeroaming and he sleeps by my pillow. So yeah bunnys are great pets😊
Draw with Lorena awwww
@꧁༒ ๓iคh ༒꧂ awww thats awesome🥺
This made my day lorena thank u 😊
I loves this so much, you probably gave the lady at the end a sign that she needed to keep that bunny!!🥺💖💖💖
The first person was so kind,they are informative for a bit they know that buns are preys we need more ppl like that personality
I love how passionate you are about bunnies. I would totally do the same if I wasn't socially anxious 😔 I take care of my 5 little ones, one I received from a pet store. Shes currently living her best life rn 🎉
I tried selling my bunny and then I started loving her we have a great bond now
I'm so thankful the first phone call was absolutely the best possible scenario I could've imagined.
I love how you are so determined to spread the right care! That's a true animal lover! ♥️😻
I am getting a bunny soon and I promise I’ve seen every single one of your videos and been researching for 5 years!
I think your ready😁👍
Fennec mouse hi. 🥺 I wrote that message along long time ago. My bunny was attacking me..... and being rlly aggressive so we had to give her away. But now she is free range around this woman’s house with tons of hay and veggies and her own little rabbit area
Yea ok I think you ready 5 years my gal that’s alot
Pandas rule Yas lmaooooo I posted that so long ago about that.... yeahzzz so she was mean and would attack me so we gave her to this reallyyyy experienced girl and she has free roam of the full house and is living her best live
@@morganz.7441 So did you get another bunny or did you feel as if it wasn't your type
I was so sad with the first call. I’m SO glad that that person was open to your advice and loved their animals. Thank you for saving these sweet animals!
"crappy bunnies"
I'm crying
When the woman said "crappy bunnies" she was referring to the showing quality of them. Not the fact that they were ruby-eyed whites.
ya the lady men't bad show quality
