Actually water bowls are more natural and they cannot get enough water through a water bottle. Rabbits drink as much as a small dog, and if it is heavy enough, there’s no way for it to spill. A rabbit can go through GI stacis if they get dehydrated. I advise getting bowls
Brynn Wiskochil Hi there! We refill the water bottles whenever it’s nearly empty (usually daily). The problem with water bowls is that sometimes they can spill if the rabbit accidentally knocks it over. But if water bowls work for you then go for it!
I totally agree with you it is not hard just put a really heavy bowl in
Maybe both??
I have a bowl and flies alwaysget in it what should i do
@@alexvasquez1180 I put cardboard in the front you no in the middle part of the cage it really helps and you should do it 3 or more times a day
"Some fruits, such as carrots..." 😂
SilentBalladxxx whoops 😬!
Don't you be so mean
Jamie Robb she isn’t mean XD
😂😭
Get a heavy bowl, bottles aren't natural or that good for buns!
Thank you! all other bunny channels just do indoor rabbits! this helps with me as i have outdoor bun buns!
Same here!
Lydikiti this is all wrong! Watch RosieBunneh she gives correct information
Because rabbits are prey animals and if you have them outside they can very easily die even if they see or smell a predictor because they have heart attacks
@@bekahdyer4224 it's fine as long as your have a large hutch with a hiding place so your rabbits can hide there.
lydia grace are u stupid they only do indoor rabbit care because rabbits belong indoors not out so you need to bring them in they will get cold there litter tray is two small the beddings wrong the cage is two small I feel so bad for your bunnies
1. Use a water bowl, not a water bottle
2. The higher calcium levels in alfalfa hay, though, can actually be dangerous for an adult bun if they're fed too much
Thank you so much!
Agree, and 3 don't keep them in small small hutches, it's so egoistic
RSPCA have so many rabbits that need rehoming, all vaccinated, spayed or neutered, checked over, please consider rescue centre before buying from a pet shop.
these ones are adopted rabbits
Water bowls are more convenient than water bottles for rabbits as they usually struggle and get very thirsty. If you want to avoid water bowl spills, get a secure stand. They work miracles.
Having vegetables isn't a choice, they need them, I wasn't sure if you where saying they just love them, or they need them. Rabbits can't drink out of a water bottle either, as not enough water is able to get out. A water bowl is a way better and healthier option.
Mhm
shut up it’s not that deep. he’s literally feeding them vegetables
I've had more issues with the water bottles than with a water bowl
Victor Garcia use whatever you prefer. The rabbit still gets water either way!
My bowl always gets folled with their shavings and bugs sometimes so i think for outdoor bittles and indoors bowls
@@alexvasquez1180 don't put shavings in the cage put cardboard bedding u can get a really big one that is cheap at a horse shop
@@everythingrabbits2935 mot enough water to keep them thriving. :(
I have outdoor bunnies too and I had the same problem, so I switched to a heavy water dish
Hey! To people watching this using this as advise I thought i would say some things...
1 water bottles are not safe no matter what
2 wood shavings are not safe
3 if you want some really useful tips for keeping a rabbit outdoors a amazing channel is Busy with Brenny 🙂
What can I use instead of wood shaving??
@@eloisepedder237 I like to use fleece, its a lot softer than shavings and straw it also gives padding for their hocks which is good for buns with sore hocks. In the summer Its good to put something like a cotton sheet on top of the fleece so your rabbit stays cooler because polyester can make them hotter :)
So pleased to see the rabbits let out for exercise in a safe run or an enclosed garden. Exercise is vital for all rabbits and can prevent gut stasis a fatal condition. Make sure the rabbits are kept in the shade and are fully vaccinated.
Hi, how long do you let a rabbit out for exercise each day if kept in a hutch? What vaccinations do you require? I called a vet as we are getting some rabbits soon and they said there is nothing regularly required.
@@corinstellwagen954thanks for your message, definitely contact the RSPCA or local rescue centre, they have ready bonded, fully vaccinated (triple),and spayed/ neutered rabbits desperate for a loving home. A double two storey hutch needs a safe attached run for daytime exercise. My rescue rabbits are in a converted wooden playhouse and shed, with an enclosed run so the rabbits are not caged up and can run around. Do your research on TH-cam for some brilliant rabbit set up ideas.
Vaccines???
No Freaking Way!!!!!!!
Finally! A simple video about outdoor rabbits
Edit: Water bowls are cleaner, wood shavings like that are much too dusty and can cause respiratory problems, alfalfa is for baby rabbits not adults, hay should be TIMOTHY and should be clean and green.
Zander Foster I bought a bag that is a mix between Timothy and meadow hay but it is more yellow. Is this ok ?
Spacegymnast 11 meadow+Timothy is usually okay. Meadow has other edible contents sometimes like different grass or dandelions. If you can get it, the greener the better. Meadow hay can often help rabbits who eat too much pellets and not enough hay because the leaves are more attractive to them.
My bunny loved spring mix, so I do recommend getting spring mix from your local grocery store
Also, my bunnies get a lot of different veggies such as kale, dill, coriander, mint and so much more as they love having a variation and having a variation is much better for them
Mine are obsesseddddd with cilantro
I keep my rabbits in a shed and I think it’s a lot bigger for them! I have 2 rabbits and they have bowls as bottle don’t provide enough water and it’s hard for them to drink from it
I think hutches should be band a shed is so much better and a bowl is good to ther is some people that look after rabbit proper
those rabbits literally have a whole garden to explore
@@shaankulkarni6677 that they can be easily eaten by predators how fun
@@radioactive_p1ssy.boy. shut up, obviously they are being supervised and at least they get to live in their natural environment rather than in a dark shed all year
@@radioactive_p1ssy.boy. also ur rabbits ugly
brynn wiskochile is correct plus there could be backterea in the nozel and the bottel
1. Water bottles aren’t really necessary for rabbits to get enough water, as it can cause them dehydrated, and that there could be bacteria from the metal straw and the plastic material in them, and yes if the material of the bowl is plastic, then it will be more a lighter weight as it can tip over easily, but heavy metal bowls are more likely not to tip over, then a plastic Bowl would.
2. If the woodshavings aren’t hardwood shavings, cause hardwood shavings are considered more likely safe for Rabbits as beddings.
3. I don’t really recommend buying foods from pet shops, as most of them are just junk foods, which can easily upset they’re stomachs, instead you can shop through online in good rabbit care shops, and mostly the best type of hay for you’re Rabbits is timothy hay and timothy pellets, but don’t overfeed you’re rabbits hay, if they’re adults you should consider giving them a 1/4 cup of pellets to they’re diets.
4. Corner litter boxes aren’t the best for you’re Rabbits to use, because corner litter boxes has a very small space for you’re rabbits to turn a 50° turn, and to set up you’re liter box, there should be beddings (it’s best to research on what kind of bedding is good for you’re rabbits) and put a bunch of hay in they’re liter boxes, while they can munch on them while doing they’re business.
These are all the things to remind some of you’re mistakes, and this isn’t mean’t to be anything mean towards you, but just to remind you that next time, but not only for you, but for others aswell to make sure of those mistakes, and yes we all make mistakes (even i did) but we can all try to cover up those mistakes :)
I have that hutch my bunny free roams a 27 foot long garden. Recommend water bowls. Watch out with alfalfa hay people as it isn’t good for older bunnies,
my old bunnies I had before looked exactly like your's and I mean exactly
You should have a heavy bowl, as bottles are not natural and the lack of water that comes out can cause dehyderation. I also recomend getting a litter box that does not have any rounded corners and is just a square or rectangle or big enough to the point where the bun can make a full 360° turn.
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but are you raising them as food or pets?
If you're raising them as pets, I think you really need to improve their living situations.
That litter box is too small
YES
Hate the spread of miss information so hopefully people don't take this guide as the gosble
They need a do more research
@@zyrota4295 shut up it’s literally what they sell at pets at home
Thank you so much. I am going to see a rabbit at the shelter later and this has helped me loads! THANK YOU!
I feed my bunny kale , cilantro , banana peals , apples and grass ... and alfalfa, pellets all balance
I have just made a video on my channel with the bunny cam of my rabbits playing outside :) I love it so relaxing and a joy to watch. Mine live indoors but they love to play in their enclosures outside.
Same thing that Brynn Wiskochill said a water dish is a lot better then a water bottle because mold can start growing in it and it is not natural. Make sure to change the litter boxes too, they are great but they won't have much space with a corner litter box more like a large cat one would work better. Other than though"s your doing great outdoor rabbit care!
This is bad rabbit care, teaching rabbit owners false facts. Never use a water bottle unless you really have to, it dose NOT give enough water to the bun bun. Also that littler box is way to small, try a large cat litter box. Sorry if this sounded rude, but I think if your making a rabbit care video you should atleast care for the rabbit correctly.
Woodshavings are no good for rabbit 🐰
Bunnies Equestrian may be if u just put it in the tray but all over ther should be hay all over or a fleece blanket but putting it all over is just wrong it is not soft it should be hay all over for definite
Bunnies Equestrian ok i do agree about the hay being hard to clean but the hay i get is very soft but i do think every one should u fleece is so much better for them i have a hay rack in front of the litter tray and i use wood stove pellets it much better
Bunnies Equestrian i just don't think that wood shaving are good dust extracted or not i just think what she is doing is wrong what we do sounds really good x
Hi I love your channel!
Great video, and new subscriber here. I too have rabbit, and I’ve features them in a couple of my videos, I do keep them a bit differently than you. I personally don’t like the bottle waterer because it runs out way to fast , especially in the summer. And I keep a more simple design and housing for them, other than that, I do most things similarly.
This video is great, although I am not a fam of keeping rabbits outside. It does look like your a great owner though and lots of people are disagreeing with your care but this advice Is brilliant! I really think that u deserve more subscribers. Bye!
what about if i live in a continent that is always warm but has a dry and rainy season
This guy loves his pets at home 😂😂
I have the same hutch as you and the same hutch cover. Also adorable rabbits you have 💜
Hello my rabbits are outside I have three and they are a giant breed, what woul you suggest for the poop area ? We had a corner that they used but it's now just a big mush of poo and hard to clean out.
What's the coldest this kind of setup can take? Can a rabbit stay the whole winter out? (In an aread where it only drops under -10°c very rarely)
They can survive in 5-20 c . And colder or hotter then bring them in!!❤
I don't mean to sound like a hater but use heavy glass bowls instead of bottles because believe me or not rabbits drink as much water as a dog does plus water bottles will get bacteria on the part were they drink from them and on the inside walls of a bottle. Also don't put wood shavings or anything like that because it will be confused and not know were its litter pan is. Also NEVER get that small of a litter pan. The rabbit should be able to do a full 360 spin so get the litter pan that's big enough for a cat and give your rabbit lots of hay and exercise. AND when they have there litter pan give them a thing were they can eat hay and use the litter can at the same time so they need to be right next to each other
Rachel Vaughan i totally agree
I dknt agree cuz then stuff gets in the bowls like ig the rabbit is inside then a bowl is great but for outdoor bottles r good
@@alexvasquez1180 I have 3 rabbt cages outside they do get stuff in them so I got some cardboard and put it in front of the middle of cage and then stuff does not get in the bowl and if u change it 2 times a day no problem
water bottles are bad for rbbits especially outside
That bluebell hutch is DEADLY!!! Do not get it!!!
@Someone lonely so many rabbits have ran down the ramp then hit their head of the roof, bent their neck backwards and break their necks and instantly die
@Someone lonely yeah that's why that hutch shouldn't exist. Or they could at least re design it to make it safe
@Someone lonely well the best option for an outdoor bunny is them living in a rabbit shed(like a normal garden shed that you keep your rabbits in) do you have Instagram so I can message you easier?
Such a great video!!
I have the bluebell hideaway as a hidy area for my bunny but it can not be used as a full time enclosure for sure.
No this is all wrong. Do not use wood shavings because the dust damages there lungs. Water Bowls are much easier to drink out of and are easier to tell if the water has frozen. Hutches from pet stores are never big enough and rabbits should have access to run/pen space all the time.
I no it is all wrong
I cave the same hutch haha but we insulated ours to make it super cosy
How did you insulate please?
what about foxes?
Today I pick up a bunny who lives outside all the time, she is 2 years old. I want to have her at home, but the owner says that I cannot, because it may die, because it is not adapted to the conditions at home (warm?)
My rabbits name is carrots and he doesn't like carrots at all, he actually prefers sunflower seeds and the green parts of watermelon...
You have to be a speed reader or pause it a couple dozen times. When you’re going to write vs talk it would be nice it you slowed it down just a bit.
Rabbits can drink as much as a small dog so make sure they have a bowl and not bottle because a bottle doesn’t alllow as much water to get on there tounge and they get angry and shake it
2:58 wrong water bowls are better, it's hard for rabbits to drink water from water bowls
Hey! A couple questions, I just got two lionhead bunnies last week. First, how do you keep them from digging out? We have a skirt around their run but they still dig holes. Second, how do you keep their house from getting muddy? Third, our bunnies always get dirty and get stuff stuck on them, how do you prevent that? That’s it!
Hello! I know im not the creator of this video but I hope I can help :) You cannot prevent a rabbit from digging holes as they’re natural instinct is to build burrows. However you can add a fleece carpet underneath your cage for them to get to the dirt , it won’t get muddy as long as you put the thermal cover on while raining as it can protect the whole cage , third it’s really just a matter of cleanliness , you can brush them if it bothers you but they do groom each other . Hope this helped :D
My rabbit lives outside as it can be really hot in my room and the rest of my house. I usually go outside to play with him everyday, but he really isn’t tamed and it’s so hard to get his attention when I take him out of his hutch to run and play a bit since there is a lot of grass he can eat so most of the time he just ignores me. I wanna do what makes him happy: eating grass, but I also want him to be tamed so I can play with him. What should I do?
Re-home him. Seriously, it's too hot for him inside? Are you living your day to day life in 85°F temperatures inside your house?
You're never going to have any kind of bond with him if he lives outdoors. Sorry. That's why I don't understand people keeping rabbits outside - that's not a pet, it's livestock and it's an obligation. You can't expect an animal that spends 95% of its life in a hutch outside, completely separate from you, to care about you. Sorry.
I did bro, he died 3 days later 💀
@@BohoBunMom
@@sweetberry7100That ain't funny . Poor bun
Hi , your bunny is sooooo cute what do I need to do to insure my bunny is safe and sound
does anyone now where i can buy this stuff in the US??
When did you clean those litter boxes last they are really dirty but cool vid
What do I do in case of rain?
How much was it?
🤔
Thank you this helps because I have a rabbit:D
I’m not trying to be rude but I think you should know that hutches and water bottles should not be used for rabbits if you use a hutch your rabbit will not be as happy as it would be with more room
I have that hutch for my 2 guinea pigs is it not small for a rabbit
What if there's ants? And ant spray is bad for the rabbits environment what should I do?
Alfalfa hay should only be fed to rabbits 16 weeks or under
Thank You For Making This Video.👍
How are you doing everything wrong?
Dude please stop this, it’s all wrong! Rabbits should have a bowl as they need LOADS of water! They should NOT be fed nuggets and need loads more litter, also they need hay in their litter tray! Please go and watch Lennon The Bunny because she will explain it all!
That litter box is way way way to small and has no where near enough hay
And they are kept in a hutch
Excuse me but your grammar is wrong! Don't hate him when you can't spell you silly!
I really want two rabbits, I watched the video and I just want like a list of what I need and vet stuff so my bunnies doesn’t die oop
KateforLife I have watched for 1 year now xd
@@kaitlynann9 lmao lennon the bunny hasnt got 'really good care'
I was just wondering, do bugs and mosquitoes often get into their hutch? Im planning on buying this and purchasing an extra screen to prevent any bugs from getting in as well.
The rabbit’s fur protects it from bug bites 👍
I was also wondering, because I’ve read about flystrike, and I’m scared of leaving them outdoors
Angie froyo I realize that they do just fine outdoors! I live in the cities so it doesnt get as bad as the country side, however I did buy a mosquito net and a tarp to cover the hutch anyways just in case. Helped a lot!
Thanks
You shouldn’t use a water bottle as a rabbit can drink the same amount of water as a small dog and you can’t get much water out of water bottles
I have that hutchhh
Oops I ment water bottles are really bad
A hutch is not enough, and sawdust has been linked to respiratory and liver disease in rabbits and small mammals.
Dont use the water bottles unless you want your rabbit to be dehydrated. Those dont allow the bun enough water- use a water bowl for your rabbits. Also your bunny shouldnt be outside in temperatures lower than 15°C (they are quite susceptible to hypothermia).
Also I highly recommend free roaming your rabbits if you can- no animal likes cages (causes depression and anxiety in a lot of animals... and humans too! Lol) and it's really rewarding to watch your bunnies jump around and play. Dont feed alfalfa to bunnies older than 8 months (it's not good for them) and DO NOT use pine or cedar chips with your bunny (its toxic for them).
Not one single mention of dangers of predators
First Thing is get a shed rabbits rather would have space then have levels and would rather not seeing their predators!
Hutchs are usually not good for rabbits u can u a dog pen play bc they need way more place to run
and i know, i know i am late but lettuce is not good for your rabbit it has no nutrients
just telling you.
Lettuce is. Really healthy for rabbits some are not but romaine and red leaf green leaf and more romaine is a must u can give it every day it is full of nutrition and fiber go to Stormy rabbit channel she is a rabbit expert basically she give. Lettuce every day and her rabbits are healthy
well my uncle owns a hay place and its hay has no flies
Thanks this was really helpful
Olivia Draws glad you liked it!
Watching the video it’s more like reading it
bruh the whater bottle is not save and you should not get a corner litter box
It's better if u have the bunny inside the hutch is to small for it to run around in
You shouldn’t feed them nuggets unless the are all natural and should feed them straw and fruit and veg
Not the hutch;
Don’t lisern to her water bowls are really bad.
Please do not consider this any sort of guide to keeping rabbits.
that's true I don't see any good in this cage
Amelia Hall ikr
honestly, in my opinion, its not good to keep bunnies outdoors at all, because even if u have a secure cage or area for them, they can still end up getting out some how, and get eaten by something to injure themselves really badly, and if that doesn't happen, something can end up getting IN the cage. Also hutches and cages are not the best either because it gives no space for them to run.
I agree with you. They also need to binky and it’s something looks a height of 3 foot they need for that. My rabbits only have a hutch for letting themselves in and out of as it is inside and they free roam.
to crampt for them inside of there
In my opinion I think you should not put bunny’s in hutches because they love to eat the wood and they can probably get out
i was looking at that exact same hutch on the pets at home website
lettuce is not a good choice
Water bottles BAD carrots in a daily diet BAD wood shavings BAD rabbit nuggets in the daily diet BAD...very disapppointed in this video...PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THIS
dang slow down, this video is too fast 😅
literally everything is wrong and the hutch is too small
Yep
No
I cant even find any hay from where im from and im freaking out
Buy hay online like small pet select or oxbow
Ok clearly your not a xpert cause water bottles are bad for rabbits carrots are veary high in surger so should only be given in small amounts
Okay okay okay.....this video is so wrong 😂
1. Bunnies shouldn't have woodshaving for flooring
2. Bunnies drink A LOT of water and water bottles just don't give enough water to them (bottles can leave bunnies dehydrated)
3. Litter boxes should be bigger than that and have a LOT LOT LOT of Timothy hay in them
4. Hutches tend to be too small for rabbits to do zoomies or run around
Sorry but this is all just the hard truth. I don't mean to be rude but if anyone sees this please look up more on bunnies before getting one because they are very fragile and high maintenance
they need more roif than that
yea have it out doors if ya want it to DIE of being too could, heart attack and preditors..they are prey and they dont belong in cage or outsaid! to know more better go to obsesed bunny rabbit girl that I love to learn from Lennon The Bunny she gose deeper on WHY....
Why does this have so many like?
