This is the first good Tips of owning a rabbit video, I've seen.... ever. If you look up on TH-cam "Tips for owning a rabbit" or "Top ten mistakes rabbit owners make" or something like that, a lot of them expect you to be this perfect rabbit owner that let's your rabbit out 24/7, that cleans their litter box twice a day, that makes sure they are not dieing every five minutes, and a lot of them say "If you don't do these things, you are a disgrace". Which is not true. I've had rabbits for 11 years now, and I couldn't agree more with what you said about, "Some day you're going to mess up but it is OK, they're not gonna die!" I love that! There needs to be more loose yet responsible people who owns their rabbits like you! Great job!😊
I saw one yesterday and all i dud was annoyed my mom till she said yes but she also wanted her a while ago but my mom has a rabbit so i got her im still deciding between Storm and Queen😂
This video was very helpful! I'm going to be getting a bunny in about a month or so, and I think I've learned basically everything I need to know for basic proper care, but I keep getting nervous that I don't know everything I need to know so I love watching these kinds of videos.
I love your videos! I got my bunny almost two weeks ago, he's a Mini Lop. He was 8 weeks when I got him and was super friendly... He was hopping onto my lap and hand feeding by the second day, and was litter trained within a week (he's free range inside when I'm home, so gets about six hours in the morning & another three in the evening when I get home from work). Have I just got a super social & confident bunny?!
I love your videos I think that your the only youtuber that I makes me want to watch your videos......and I can see that you take very good care of your bunny.......❤❤❤❤
my tip would be that if you have a long hair rabbit- definitely DEFINITELY brush them every day and don't get lazy with it- and brush everywhere including chest and near the tail, etc. 6 months ago i took my rabbit to the vet to get shaved cause she had so many clumps of hair since i didn't brush her very much. they had to put her under anesthesia and it took 2 sessions to get everything done and it was EXPENSIVE. doing it again next weekend cause i left for 5 months and the person caring for my rabbit didn't brush her and she once again has huge clumps... brush your rabbit!!! btw, her name is rosie too :)
I don’t agree with the first one my rabbit was surrounded to me at 9 weeks old and she is already litter boxed trained for pee and she loves people so much she looks for me to pick her up and take her to cuddle because she hops into my hand. She is a special girl.
Today is the second day i have had my rabbit and i wanted to give him time out of the cage but his bunny proofed room is not the room his cage is in, so i had to pick him up. he was okay on the way there but on the way back he really didnt enjoy being picked up. is he going to be afraid of me now? and in the future, how do you suggest taking him to the room?
Hi I have a question so the second day I took my rabbit out to play and I took him around my room and let him explore and even the first day I held him and let him hop around I feel bad because I got to excited and now I need help on the taming thing I was wondering if u can tell me what to do and this is my first time keeping a rabbit so please help me I'm scared
The people I got my rabbit from didn't give him vegetables. He is 4 months old, should I try to give him vegetables or not? They told me it isn't really healthy for them.
I may be getting a mini lop today that is 1 1/2 years old and how can I let it out in my house? I dont have a puppy pen or anything like that except the hutch that is coming with him :( I don't have an extra room either
The new bunny will be getting used to the environment and to you. That should give you time to get a playpen for when it is more used to you and ready to have out of cage time. Good luck with your new rabbit.
+Capri Lynn Your comment was a little late, but my mini rex loves me and is very social and playful. He has a hutch and plays quite a lot free range wise.
I've been using Feline pine as my rabbits litter (which is safe) for this whole time and she is 100% litter trained. So should I start using different ones? And I also feed her Oxbow western timothy hay. Any other hay brand suggestions. Thanks, loved the video.
I have a question, I have two Angora bunnies, both male and they're brothers from the same litter.. What age do I give them vegetables and fruits? They're 11-12 weeks old right now..
Oh ma gad. Your eyes and nails look gorgeous in this video! I cannot find a litter that doesn't stick to my lionheads fur... Even newspaper or pine pellets do stick a bit. They usually fall off as she hops around her pen but it causes her pen to become dirty much quicker then my mini Rex's pen.
Oh, I understand about that since my bunny is a lionhead too. It just means I need to pay daily attention to the extra fur that is prone to collecting cage debris and work it out with my hands or cut out what can't be.
My bunny empties her little box like it her Job and is scaring me because she will just lay in her little box than I leave the room then she'll get up and do stuff
I would recommend making a little place you can store the money you have each month and ask friends or family if they can help with it... If that doesn't work get one off of an adoption site which already spay and neuter their animals. Like blue cross in the UK
Look for rabbits that are already spayed or neutered, what state do you live in? There a bunny rescue in my state, all the rabbits are already sprayed or neutered. Mindy
Hi there! Thanks for the tips! I have a quick (kinda stupid) question. What do you do to keep your bunny warm during the winter? Mind you, I live in South Florida so it rarely gets cold but tonight we're in the mid 40s. Just wondering if I am keeping my bunny warm enough. Thanks! Love your videos!
is that your natural hair? it looks beautiful! these tips were super helpful too, I've got two bunnies and I'm still learning a lot so these were really handy! thanks x
whenever I let my rabbit out on the floor he just sits in his hutch and stears (I think thats how you spell it ) at the floor what does that mean please answer x
your bunny might be shy or nervous. if they think a predator is nearby or there is a lot of noise, they may be too afraid. try making sure everything is calm and if you have to, place food and treats and toys outside the cage. if this doesn't help, I'd recommend closely watching your rabbit and see if he is acting nervous or shy or scared
I want to know, how do you know what breed your rabbit is if you are new to bunnies. Also what should me and my sustenance name our bunnies? Two female names only please
Got a rabbit yesterday and she was grand not shy or nervous at all! She's two months old and has all ready tried to eat my elbow, Seriously she made me bleed!
My rabbit bugs, won't let me pick her up and if I do she starts kicking, she's only let me once when I brought her indoors for the first time... But how can she get used to me taking her in and picking her up? Without stressing her out
Honestly, I'd say just don't unless you really have to (like vet visits). Most bunnies hate being picked up because they're prey animals and not only are they being ''caught'' but they have no escape. I don't pick mine up unless I need to take them somewhere they can't hop to. :) My advice is pick them up, hold them until they calm, then put them somewhere they like. (Like pick them up and put them down to free range for a bit, but bribe them to get them to go back in their cage.) Positive association is key.
They really don't like the up/down motion and the sight of the ground falling away on them, or, at least I think that's what's going on. But with Felicity, I just put a hand over her head and cover her eyes before picking her up from underneath, and that has worked for us. Putting down is still tricky, she still wants to scramble, but if you keep a girm and not tight hold - basically feel confident with them, the freak-outs should get less and less with time. I had a Dutch rabbit who didn't kick or scramble when being picked up or put down by the time he was probably about 2 years old. I know during the first year, things were a bit ticklish. And my Felicity has only been here for a few months, so she's got a way to go to grow out of this.
My Netherland dwarf babies don't mind being picked up but they do kick a tiny bit sometimes, I think every rabbit will, but it depends on the rabbit, how you pick it up and if they are picked up a lot when they are young but as someone said already, they generally don't like being picked up because they are prey animals and prefer being on the ground
Yep - I think they are hardwired to do some kicking at first. But some may grow out of it, some may not. A rabbit that loves you just won't act like a prey animal around you, even if they kick a little with being picked up or put down. They're not afraid of you. Only certain motions beyond their control for a few moments.
How often should I feed my rabbit? like give her dry food in the morning then veggies in the afternoon ect? how often should I give her veggies and fruit how could I space it out p.s your so lovely and make interesting videos
+wee_innaa xo I do pellets in the morning, about 1/4 cup, and 1 1/2 vegetables every night. Also hay should be fed in unlimited quantities, so I fill it up a bunch of times every day. Also, thank you! :D
After 2 days my rabbit seems comfortable with me he even comes up to me and my parents and licks me for like 15mins he seems fine. The only problem is I’m afraid he is bored I bought him some toys but he doesn’t seem interested do u know why???😩🤔
This was a great video! Awesome tips! Lol the vacuum! SO TRUE! :P

I've been trying to do research so I can convince my mom to let me get this rabbit I fell in love with!
I'm getting one and can u use hay that you use for horses because I have a lot of it because I have 2 horses
Kristina Roy
Is it Timothy ?
hey! I love your videos and this helped me so much, but I just had a quick question what do you mean by changing the litter? Thanks!!
LpsCupcake™ shes most likely talking about if you litter train them. its changing the litter in the litter. and there's alot of types of litter
TheGamingDragon oh okay I was a bit confused. thankss
I may be getting a mini lop today that is 1 1/2 years old and how can I let it out in my house? I dont have a puppy pen or anything like that except the hutch that is coming with him :( I don't have an extra room either

for hay I would definitely try small pet select while oxbow is good this is even fresher (IDK if that's a word) I buy it on Amazon. I love it!
+Lori Reisdorf thanks!
It sounds like you're doing just fine by your rabbit.
This helped a lot and wow no dislikes!
Amazing video! So helpful and well edited :) xx

"**looks dead into camera** to an extent.." AHA SARAH NOOO
I have a question, I have two Angora bunnies, both male and they're brothers from the same litter.. What age do I give them vegetables and fruits? They're 11-12 weeks old right now..
my bunny is eating veggies at 8 weeks it fine just give them a variety. of fruits and veggies to choose from
Okay, thank you. I read online to not give them fruits or veggies until 6 months or older
Rip Rosie😭 #keephoping❤️

hmfoden I use hay thats cut up into small bits
I've had bunnies for 5 years why am I watching this!!
Is fleece better than bedding
If they're litter trained fleece can be better
+Minions or Sara tnanks
My bunny empties her little box like it her Job and is scaring me because she will just lay in her little box than I leave the room then she'll get up and do stuff
I heard you can use pine if it is kiln dried is that true?
Yes I think so because it gets rid of strong smells
Oh okay thanks! :D
Yes.
Oh good thanks!
Yes that’s fine
Loved the video❤️
Loved this video!
+Piggie Palace Thank you!
I want to get a friend for my 7month old Netherland Dwarf Buck but I can't afford spaying or neutering costs what do you suggest?
I would recommend making a little place you can store the money you have each month and ask friends or family if they can help with it... If that doesn't work get one off of an adoption site which already spay and neuter their animals. Like blue cross in the UK
get the same gender
Look for rabbits that are already spayed or neutered, what state do you live in? There a bunny rescue in my state, all the rabbits are already sprayed or neutered. Mindy
Angel The dog England
Your rabbit should be spayed/neutered anyways
So the first week you shouldn’t work on litter box training??
Nice video!! This really helped thanks 👌
Hi there! Thanks for the tips! I have a quick (kinda stupid) question. What do you do to keep your bunny warm during the winter? Mind you, I live in South Florida so it rarely gets cold but tonight we're in the mid 40s. Just wondering if I am keeping my bunny warm enough. Thanks! Love your videos!
If you have a petsmart near you you can buy a small pet heater! If you don't want to spend money use extra fleece as extra blankets:)
what about small pieces of hay? like hay scraps on the floor with poooh
is that your natural hair? it looks beautiful! these tips were super helpful too, I've got two bunnies and I'm still learning a lot so these were really handy! thanks x
+Aimee Vaughan Yep, I've never dyed it, and thank you! I'm glad you found this video helpful! :D
I have a rash guinea pig I always have a cloggd up vacuum
Lovely video!!!! Your bunny is to cute!!!! :D
+Rabbit Care Thank you!
just what im looking for. I pick my bunny up on sunday and im trying to figure out all the things i need for her.
Is it ok if you clean the cage every day?
You can but that takes up a heck of a lot of time
That should be fine.
I know this has nothing to do with the video but you're lovely ^w^
how often do u need to buy hay
Janayah Drawss most likely weekly depending on how much you buy
Thanks for sharing!
whenever I let my rabbit out on the floor he just sits in his hutch and stears (I think thats how you spell it ) at the floor what does that mean please answer x
your bunny might be shy or nervous. if they think a predator is nearby or there is a lot of noise, they may be too afraid. try making sure everything is calm and if you have to, place food and treats and toys outside the cage. if this doesn't help, I'd recommend closely watching your rabbit and see if he is acting nervous or shy or scared
Okay thank you it really helped
You are SO beautiful! I love your videos so much!! ❤️❤️
+Hard-boiled Egg Thank you so much! xx
Great tips! 😄😄👍🏻👍🏻
I want to know, how do you know what breed your rabbit is if you are new to bunnies. Also what should me and my sustenance name our bunnies? Two female names only please
if ears are floppy its a lop, you can tell by looking at them, also name them nova and stella
I'm getting a rabbit soon but.. my mum won't let me have it inside and my area is packed with flea infested cats need advice please
my bunny likes Timothy hay but sometimes I will give her grass. and meadow hay in with the timothy
Ariella Holbert
Make sure the grass has no pesticides on it
I know
I have the same pillow from target;)
I LOVE RABBITS !!!!!!!!!
This helped me! Thank you!☺😊😄😉👍👌✌👏🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇
Hi, i want to have my bunny free range my room. I dont have my bunny yet but i have hayfever. So is having my rabbit in my room a bad idea?
Oh my word! I used my vacuum to vacuum hay! And don’t worry i hope it’s not common sense cause I do it all the time!
Got a rabbit yesterday and she was grand not shy or nervous at all! She's two months old and has all ready tried to eat my elbow, Seriously she made me bleed!
I got my rabbit 2 days ago and hes almost 5 months, he won't eat his hay please help!
is he eating now? Does he eat anything else like pellets or nothing at all?
yes he is eating his pellets, i just got him a littertray and put the hayrack by the litter tray and hes munching on the hay like crazy
Dualk have you
been trying alfalfa or Timothy hay?
Thanks u so much, I honestly was going to vacuum the hay that spilled on my carpet today, thx you saved my vacumn
+Elizabethxx 1236 No problem! I'm glad I did! :D

how long duse it take for new rabbits to settle in and get use to new things around them
Victoria Esposito i took my guinea pigs about 4 months. I guess rabbits may take longer or shorter. When you first get it atleast leave it a week.
it took my sweetie pie about 1 day but that's just my baby he is very friendly. other rabbits are diffrent
It could take two days or two weeks it just depends on the bunny
2 weeks
I love all ur videos
How often should I feed my rabbit? like give her dry food in the morning then veggies in the afternoon ect? how often should I give her veggies and fruit how could I space it out p.s your so lovely and make interesting videos
+wee_innaa xo I do pellets in the morning, about 1/4 cup, and 1 1/2 vegetables every night. Also hay should be fed in unlimited quantities, so I fill it up a bunch of times every day. Also, thank you! :D
if your aloud to tell yare do you live do you live in wyoming green river or rosprings
This was so helpfull😊
After 2 days my rabbit seems comfortable with me he even comes up to me and my parents and licks me for like 15mins he seems fine. The only problem is I’m afraid he is bored I bought him some toys but he doesn’t seem interested do u know why???😩🤔
love this video
Thanks for the amazing tips this really helped....
:)
What if they die in the first week bc you can't give them excirse bc "we can't pick them up"
Ciara Mikel They won't die. And your cage should have enough room for a bunny to run around
