- The basics to get started with a pet rabbit! What to feed your rabbit, how to house your rabbit and how to care for it.
I’m pretty sure you guys are going to be very excited about this video because you have been asking for it for a while. My camera died at the end of the video so I recorded the rest inside later. Hope you enjoyed getting to see Peter!

Please do more rabbit videos!
Yes more rabbit vids!!!!
YES PLEASE!
i was going to say that but i didn't want people to think that i was copying you
+Maia Kolbuck LOL
Please do more rabbits and genie pigs
my bunny is litter box trained did it in 3 days i was so proud of him. because of it he gets to free roam
How? ^_^ Could you explain, please?
+Anamaria Dan (Dana) So this is how I did it with my rabbit and it turned pretty successful first lock them in there cage for a day (which means no outside time) then the next find out where he pooped and peed the most then put a litter tray there you'll find out quickly that they'll certainly appreciate having there own place to do there business because there are such clean animals. Keep in mind that usually they won't be COMPLETELY litter trained but usually they'll poo a tiny bit out of the litter tray but there pretty easy to pop into the tray.
Paulina Camacho with my bunny I did it in a couple of hours I just put a litter box in her cage and she just went in it I was so proud because people said it could take weeks but she just naturally went in I guess😀
hailey eve :O
@@paulinacamacho2945 there’s a WAY safer way. just put hay in their litter box and they’ll poop there
Can you do more about rabbits?
he died
Brittany Swanson oh well, r.i.p
Brittany Swanson the rabbit died that she was holding?
I just added several photos of my peacocks to Instagram! Go check them out! @meghan_happytails
Four years isn't too short of a life span. Some rabbits do have short lifespans. I'm sure you can improve the care, but it might not have completely been your fault.
+Happy Tails could U show us all the cages of your animals and can you do a care for exotique fish?!
I have 2 floppy eared rabbits would it be ok to put a different kind of rabbit in the cage with them or would I have to get another cage?
+Domo Williams
you can have all different breeds of rabbits in one cage, as long as they are neutered or spayed so they don't fight (boys) or get uterus cancer (girls)
I'm a kid that learned how to use an iPad in fact I'm on it right now lol
at 0:56 you hear her horse neigh in the back round i think listen closely
Dan Dooher well where still not sure...
It was probably some loud wind. It sounds a bit too high pitched for a horse neigh
Al P that’s a horse lmao I don’t know how you think that’s wind
Omg how did that rabbit stay so still during this entire video xD I can hold my rabbit for about 3 minutes before he gets too wiggly. But that's also understandable because they are prey animals and most don't really prefer to be picked up, but I guess your rabbit is just super comfortable with you which is nice to see :)
finally an adult who understands that 12 year olds can care for a rabbit :) im doing it just fine if ur wondering! got him 6 months ago, got him nuetured and now hes a friendly, and clean little guy
I love how you did not rant about wire floors (which are not recommended for rabbits with a thin coat) but you can. Use wire floors with a sick coated rabbit I have 5 and love my cages with the fall though wider on the bottom
Syrian Hamster care please !
Yes!!!
Anyone who owns small animals or is planning on getting one, PLEASE READ (this regards exercise balls, or hamster balls.)
those things are death traps. Small animals explore the world by touching, by smelling, by being present to their surroundings. Exercise balls restrict all of those. small animals have delicate respritory systems, and need lots of air flow, and exercise balls have EXTREMELY poor ventilation. I once knew someone's hamster who died of suffication in one of those things. and because of that poor air flow, it gets dangerously hot. for animals like chinchillas who cannot tolerate heat, they not only will be in uncomfortable levels of heat, even health threatening, they can die just from the heat. for animals like guinea pigs, their backs can literally snap from the unnatural curve. do you want to snap your beloved pets back? so, with all this, the stress you're putting your pet through by putting them in those "exercise wheels" is barbaric. I may be one sided, but what good comes out of those things? watching your pet freak out wondering what the heck is happening while you stand by and laugh? we love our pets so we have to treat them safely and respectfully. thank you for reading this whole thing (read: rant :-P ) and lets make our fur babies lives a better one. 🐭🐹🐰🐀🐇🐁
Thank you, I had my hamster in hamster balls (for a small amount of time) and this helped me realize that I shouldn’t be doing this
AlphaWolfForever I bought my hamster a ball. She seemed to like it. Ive never forced nor put her in the ball. She simply walks in herself and waits for me to close it. I dont use it that much anymore but i am extremely sure she likes it.
Thank you! This was helpful!!
My rabbit was very litter trained. She would not pee or poop anywhere but her bin. It made my life very easy lol.
+Delaney Reyes nice
i have two rabbits Rosie and Bella they are soooo lovely and friendly and so far they are twelve years old
Skyla Powis please don’t listen to her she’s giving bullshit advice you need to get rabbits spayed and neutered
Ik this vid is from a while ago but your bunny looks so funny how he’s just laying there😂😂
could you please feature rabbits/bunnies in more of your videos? Thanks! I really enjoy watching your channel ❤
Plz do Horses
My bunnies going to be kept in a big hutch and then when it’s stormy outside I’m going to keep them in the CNC cage I made😊 thanks for the advice
I'm getting my rabbit today I'm so excited!! I'm adopting him from the humane society 💕 he is 1 years old, he is a lion head Netherland dwarf cross 😍
This is really helpful because I'm getting two rabbits for my birthday soon ❤️
Good vid also rabbits can live to 15 or so years if kept in proper care also there should only be 1/4 cup of pellets also being spayed or neuetered if VERY IMPORTENT waterbottles are not good too much
Ali Walay Neutering isn’t very important.
I love rabbits, I am trying to convince my parents to get me one, this video taught me so much about them!
Ur rabbit is the cutest 💞💓
First of all great video. I think i would be a good idea to make a video about what to do when our pets pass away. I had a hotot rabbit and when it died i was crying for a month. I am ok now but i believe i would be something unique to do. I mean nobody can know better from you how to deal with a situation like this.
Oh and i love your videos
Thank you. That is a really good suggestion. Its really hard to go through that when a pet dies. I will have to work on something for this.
+Happy Tails i am happy that you appreciated my idea
could you do a daily pet routine plz?
I'm 12 years old and want to get a bunny I'm getting a holland lop. This video helped a lot plz make a daily rabbit routine
my bunny will only eat carrot tops. can you do more rabbit videos please
I have a question how do u train a rabbit to use the litter box and when you do train them can you u just let them live openly in ur home?
Great 👍 info! I’m getting a bunny 🐰 soon
+Happy Tails do you live on a farm or do you have a modern day house. Also, are rabbits okay to be outside where there ARE fences, but fences they could easily get through? or would you need to train them in an enclosed area outside on grass and bring one of those cage enclosures with no roof. Just wondering!
Do a ferret video about diet plz! I have a ferret and I get all my information from your channel so I only trust your advise
"if a kid can learn to efficiently use an I pad they can be taught to be gentle"
I bet they are both adorable😝
Hi Megan is a lion head rabbit a good pet
I have 2 rabbits George and mitsie George is a dwarf lop mitsie is a lion head
Lifestyle Lifer i have 3 lion head rabbits
I might be getting a bunny I’m soooooooooo excited!
Daney Doughnut Bryleigh Parkinson Choi Dohyun If u do PLEASE do not listen to anything she is saying besides the information about the vaccines. Rabbits should be fed timothy based pellets and very little. If they are past 6 months old they should be fed timothy, oat, and orchard hay. Keeping them outside free range can be dangerous and prevent a strong bond with your rabbit. Neutering and spaying is the HEALTHIEST option. Feed them LEAFY greens. Limit sugary foods like apples and carrots.
+happytails are you saying that 2 unspayed females can share a pen? Also can you do a video on what fruits and veggies are safe for rabbits?
Ximena Agnone females need to be spayed 80% of unspayed females get utrian cancer
a female and a male is the best pair but u can also do 2 males
2 females is not the best they may fight or take longer to bond😀
I just found your channel and subscribed, I love all of your pets,
Can you do a vid on horses I love them but I don’t have any.
and maybe a video on fish.
Btw your bunny is so adorable what’s his or her name?
Since I have so many questions maybe you should do a q and a 😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you PLLLLZZZ do a cage tour??!! I have 4 rabbits and I feel like their living space isn't appropriate. Also can you give some tips about how to maintain them in the summer. I want to move them outside but I think they will be too hot. Thx
Mckenna Stabler PLEASE do not listen to anything she is saying besides the information about the vaccines. Rabbits should be fed timothy based pellets and very little. If they are past 6 months old they should be fed timothy, oat, and orchard hay. Keeping them outside free range can be dangerous and prevent a strong bond with your rabbit. Neutering and spaying is the HEALTHIEST option. Feed them LEAFY greens. Limit sugary foods like apples and carrots. A temp over 85 can give them heatstroke. The cage must not have a wire bottom. Look up “sore hocks” and u will see why. They should be able to stand up completely, hope 4 hops from the front to the back of the cage and 6-8 from one side to the other.
i love the rabbit dog and horse im i horse rider
since they need a liter box what if you have a cat that also uses a liter box
rabbits DO NOT prefer to be in pairs...just FYI!! Unless previously or currently bonded they prefer to be alone!! Also you dont touch on bonding before just putting them together, they could end badly.. Rabbits HAVE TO BE bonded very several weeks before cohabitating the 2
I really really really want a pet bunny and I would pay the money I have more than enough and I have been taking care of bunnies my hole life since I was 3. I am 9 now. That’s six years I have dogs and cats of my own and I can handle them besides, I have anxiety and S.A.D. It’s a mental health problem. I need a emotional support pet and a new pet bunny is the best way to do it. And I have plenty of carrots and cabbage in my garden in my back yard! And I have plenty of room in my bedroom. So imma tell all of this to my mom and listen to your playlist about rabbits and bunnies. Thanks for educating kids about animals and I am super responsible with 2 dogs and 3 cats that I help take care of every day! I think I’m ready for a bunny.
I LOVE you're videos! Can I feed my rabbits fesque hay? Can you make more hedgehog and chinchila videos?
All rabbits are different some rabbits may not be able to live outside so remember that, and pellets are optional for adults but recommended for babies
I had a pair of bonded rabbits and both lived to at least 12, 1 is still alive. They were a male/female bonded pair, so they were spayed and neutered. The male still marked, but he sprayed before neutering and stopped once he was snipped. I don't feed them anything other than hay and pellets because fruits and veggies always seemed to upset their stomachs and made their poop smell really bad. I noticed that the biggest thing with them is to keep their diet consistent. Maybe not when they were younger, but since both of mine have been geriatric for 4 years, they do best on manna pro pellets and some timothy hay. They have never had GI stasis or any other problems like that, and I think it is because I have been extremely consistent with their diet.
I honestly think it's very necessary to spay/neuter rabbits! Could you elaborate on why you don't think it's necessary? Btw this is not a hate comment, I'm just speaking my opinion
I love your videos mostly because I love animals and would like to be a zoologist when I grow up but I am considering getting a rabbit and i would really appreciate if you would make more rabbit care videos I mean of course I've done other research but I'm just not sure on what is the right breed and care for it 😮
do i need to be worried about the smell in the cage?
I'm getting a Netherland dwarf (2) any tips?
I need help my mum let me get rabbit but my dad doesn't want rabbit and what cage is best for rabbits
I'm getting a rabbit soon, My other rabbit (a jersey wooly Netherland mix) recently passed away and life hasn't been the same without her. I miss her so much, she was a great companion and I gave her so so much.
I'm finally ready to move on, I'm looking to get a holland or mini lop. What breed is yours? And how much do mini lops weigh?
(Your rabbit is beautiful by the way)
I really wanna get bunny’s can you give me advice to get my parents to get me one for Christmas I’m trying to do all my research
I have a question
What happens if you don’t get two will it just not be vary friendly or something
If a kid can learn to use an iPad they can learn to care for a rabbit. YAY
Do guinea pigs give sicknesses to dogs
I've always heard alfalfa hay is very harmful and can even cause G.I. Stasis. Is this true? I'd like to know your perspective on this topic as you seem to know so much.
Spencer O'Connor alfalfa hay does not cause GI staises it is good for rabbits it is also used as a treat hay😀
Spencer O'Connor
No, alfalfa hay is NOT good for rabbits over 6 months!! :)
Spencer O'Connor she clearly didnt state this properly. Only rabbits 6 months and under can have alfalfa hay.
Spencer O'Connor yes its true
Spencer O'Connor its only harmful after they are 6 months old
I have a water bottle for my rabbit, all of the TH-cam channels I watch say bottle can get clogged and are bad for rabbits.
Is that true?
Yes
Something about mini lops plz
I have a question I have 2 outdoor bunnies today 1 got away and was running around it took around half an hour to get him how would you suggest catching a loose bunny
Tzvi Mintz throw a towel or a blanket on him/her and if that doesn't work u could try treats to get them to come to u and if that doesn't work u can get a net and catch it with that😀
can you show the hamster care and setup pls
Please do some more bunny videos and, I like Berry (the bird) thanks for the awesome video!!!!
Please do more rabbit videos your rabbit is sooooo cute 🐰
can you give me some tips because I want a bunny and I done 6 months of reasearch
I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it!! Thank you!
Thanks!!
You should do a DRAW MY LIFE please
Thank you for your helpful and practical advice🐰
I have allergies. We have a split level home. We've set up a large pen in a carpeted basement. I don't like taking her out too often just because of my allergies. Am I keeping her hostage by doing this?
In this case you should have two rabbits, one would be very lonely
Happy Tails because of my allergies, this isn't possible. My husband and I do climb into her pen and play with her.
We allow her into the living room, but only for a couple of hours a day. And because she wasn't in a pen with other bunnies when I adopted her, it's almost like she doesn't even know what she is missing. We keep the radio on for her during the day, stuffed toy that she actually cleans, and electric candles to keep her comfortable at night. If you have any other suggestions that would prevent loneliness, that would be helpful
I have questions
1) I have had a pet rabbit for 6 yrs and just realized that I should have too ( I dont have a lot of time to play) should I get another one or no?
2) I give my rabbit Alfa Alfa hay is that okay??
Brooklyn Heller No. PLEASE do not listen to anything she is saying besides the information about the vaccines. Rabbits should be fed timothy based pellets and very little. If they are past 6 months old they should be fed timothy, oat, and orchard hay. Keeping them outside free range can be dangerous and prevent a strong bond with your rabbit. Neutering and spaying is the HEALTHIEST option. Feed them LEAFY greens. Limit sugary foods like apples and carrots. It is important to have at least 2
Do you have a preference in gender and what do you think is the best material to put In a litter box??
Personally I've preferred males.
So I just got a rabbit with a store bought cage it is 4feet long and 2feet wide and I have a mini lop. And do you think I need to make a larger cage
+maryn wiens no that's fine. But the rabbit should be out of the cage everyday
If they can't have plastic in the cage, what should the litter box be? Aren't they plastic?
My litter box is plastic, hard plastic is fine.
I love rabbits ❤️
They are not good "first" pets for children
+wolfgirl many families would disagree, lots of my subs have rabbits 😁
Happy Tails rabbits are NOT some training objects for children to practice there responsibility! I have seen a lot and I mean A LOT of helpless rabbits being abused and neglected. Thank GOD that the laws were I live says: Must have an enclosure 3*3,5 m, Children are not allowed to buy any animals, Shops are not allowed to sell rabbits, breeders ( that must follow "breeding laws" ) can refuse to sell a rabbit to a bad home.
Who said they are training objects?
Yes I have seem tons of abused animals since I rescue, foster, adopt and rehome. Adults can be terrible huh?!(since you didn't actually say this had to do with children...lol)
I think you should thank your representatives not god since it was elected people that put the laws in place. Yes the same thing is here in America, kids can't drive themselves to pet stores to buy pets.
None of this actually supports your opinion that kids should not own rabbits. Maybe you should realize that some kids are very mature and can handle it. You are very biased.
Happy Tails yesssss
That depends a great deal on the child, doesn't it? Rough and boisterous treatment will probably be fatal to the rabbit but not all kids are like that.
I know this is an old video but, what size hutch would you recommend for one large lion head and once mini lop? the hutch currently have is 2 story's and I got it from fleet farm it's pretty big for one bunny but I'm not sure about 2 ( My buns might even able to be free range) also do you have a bunny bonding video?
About 12 to 16 square feet. :)
what kind of cage do ur rabbits have
Also I have wooden toys for my rabbit but she won't chew on them and last is
i heard that rabbits can't have too much carrots and raisin because it is too sweet for them is that true
Roblox & More Yes, it's true. The same goes with other fruits and artificial sugars (though you should never give your rabbit any unnatural sugars).
Beautiful love rabbits
Hamster care please!!!?
I recused a white rabbit with brown left eye with a brown ring around eye and a brown streak running up his left ear. His right eye is blue and no markings on him. He is white all over. He is medium size and ears usually stay erect except when listening for noises. Do you know what breed of rabbit he is? I've search the internet but found nothing.People keep telling me I should get him neutered. He is the only rabbit I have and see no need but they say he will get sick and die early if I don't. Should I get him neuter? He is my first pet rabbit. I would appreciate your advice. He is a very gentle and loving rabbit. He lives in a 2 story hutch under a breezeway outside my door and I have a play yard for him where we spend a lot of time playing. I've only had him since last October. A friend of mine was going to turn him over to a shelter and since I'm against killing perfectly healthy animals adopted him. I would appreciate any advice you have to give me. I've been learning about his care and needs through the internet. Thank you for your time. You can pm me through facebook. Patricia Wogomon. My rabbits name is Clyde.
patricia wogomon maybe a Rex rabbit or it could be a mix of Rex and something else also I would get him neutered just to be safe there are health benifits that come with neutering a rabbit also he will not spray and the smell of pee will be gone😀
I love your rabbit
I have 3 Netherlands dwarf 1 holland and lop and 2 mini lops and 2 lionhead and one lionhead Havana mix I love my bunnies we are trying to breed
Shannon Cole PLEASE do not breed. There are 1000s of good, adoptable rabbits that need homes. Rabbits are put down as often as cats and dogs.
you are right i am a kid and have a great time my 2 mix breeds
Please make more videos on rabbits I need more help
leah Wigton hey Hun I make rabbit care videos if you need any advice xx
Check out stormy rabbits,lennon the bunny and rabbits 101
And should I vaccination my rabbit
I can't keep them outside cuz there's lots of foxes round here
your rabbit is soo cute
My bunnies live in wire cages above the ground in the shade because one of them kept escaping in the play pen, so I don't get them out everyday. Is this bad for them?
Sian Loveless If the cant stand up straight, if the cage prevents them from taking 6 hops in one direction, yes.
And a wire bottom cage is really bad for their feet.
Please put soft sheets over the wire cage. Wire floor is sooo bad for their feet
Great video! Thanks i’m getting a bunny pair soon
amazing video 💙💜
TALK ABOUT PEACOCK EGG CARE PLS I REALLY NEED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have a lot of time for bunny should I get 2 even though I have had for 6 yrs?? Would she fight with other??
You need to properly bond them or they will fight, will be hard with females as well as they fight over dominance when not desexed.
Teagan thank you!
Great video!!! Very helpful and we subscribed! ;)
+Pets Fur Life thanks!
+Pets Fur Life thanks!
rabbits where I live ( England ) need two vet trips atleast per year as they have to have two needles to stop them getting major illnesses the needles are for ;
. myxomatosis
. rabbit haemorrhagic disease
Sadly when I was younger I had a rabbit called rose and she died from myxamotosis 😵
Can u plz do another Guinea pig vid??? Plz??
Yes, I will be doing more!
+Happy Tails please please please do more ferret videos btw I'm getting a ferrets soon
Would a critternation be a good cage for my tiny rabbit? (1.5 lbs)
No, rabbits should not be in a tall cage
What if I turned it sideways?
Great video!! Can you do more Guinea pig videos like a daily routine??
Do you have to wash your rabbit
A lot of misinformation. You should do more research. Also, you treat them almost like a wild animal, not the domestic species they are. I feel bad for any rabbit whos owner followed this advice.
+Kameo Hosley what is a wold animal?
hehe she probably has many more years of experience then you do, could I ask what you don't agree with? so I can put the facts straight.
Happy Tails An animal that has not been domesticated.
Kameo Hosley | you don’t get the sarcasm?
Could you do a daily pet routine?
Do you think rabbits and cats would ever get along?
Erin Nelson
My cat don't care about my rabbits at all. ;)
