I've had my rabbits for 4 years, and I still see them flopped, worry, and have to check they are alright. If when doing so I wake them up (if it isn't super obvious they are breathing when it's a cooler weather vs the summer time), they get pretty annoyed. I'll never learn -_-
I found a almost dead bunny in my backyard, and I took it in and raised it back to health, but when I first found it in my backyard and picked it up, it started SCREAMING at me. It was heartbreaking.
when i took my rabbit to the vet he was soo excited to meet everyone and everything 😂 but then after he got fixed he wouldnt even look at me for a whole 3 days
If you breed females they won’t get cancer; however, if they are not being bred they are at risk for it. With guys it is unnecessary, but it isn’t bad for them if you don’t plan on breeding. It’s just a choice. If you care for them well after there is nothing wrong with making that decision. Personally, I haven’t because I like him the way he is; however, if they do that’s they’re choice and they aren’t a terrible person for that.
@Ryoko Asakura I can understand having a strong opposition towards fixing pets and being passionate about animals, but suggesting someone deserves to be shot for it is very extreme and raises questions about your moral compass/state of mind. You can justify it by your love for animals and your beliefs about caring for animals, but believing someone should be murdered over fixing their pet(s) is cold and extreme. It seems pretty misanthropic. It really doesn't make you better than the "monsters" you're wishing death upon. Your love for animals doesn't make your dark thoughts and indifference towards human life okay. Love and passion don't negate malice and cruelty. If it's that easy for you to hand out a death sentence, are you really any better than those that fix rabbits due to ignorance and or selfish reasons? Or simply put, who's worse, a murderer or someone who fixed their rabbit? It's really not that hard to find the right answer. Hopefully you were being hyperbolic because your sense of righteousness is way off base.

I am so happy that my bunny is happy..like even like i am crying right now because i am just so happy..he has never done any sight of anger, he even enjoy clipping his nails...gosh, i am so happy that he is happy.
Boakiba Rules That’s smart, but I wouldn’t do that because their nails can over grow... if they do, the nails go into their skin and hurt them.... I swear I’m not trying to tell you what to do, I’m just giving you advice
Yeah they do that. As much as it sucks now treasure both the good moments and the bad cause one day it’ll be a memory. Just give them love even though they’re a little stinker 💙
My bunny is nudging me when I’m asleep in the living room. I think he’s checking if I’m alright. If he nudges me 3-4 times and I don’t move, it will bite my finger just a little bit to get a reaction.
The first time my bunny stood up and stuffed her ear in her mouth I nearly died from the cuteness. Threw out the cage before we got her in it. She is happy to run the house and she potties in the bathroom like a big girl. Not trained, she just gets it. Blows my mind.
Lucky! I’m still struggling to train my baby bunny (he’s 10 weeks and keeps pooping in this one spot in my house 😂 He still goes in his litter, but also in the spot in the house when we let him out of the cage)
@@lunarialoonatic u might want to put an additional litterbox right where he poops outside the cage. At least it will be easier to clean up than him pooping on the floor...
They are SOOO much more intelligent than I expected, my bun has figured out litter training and certain words equal certain actions so much faster than I thought he would, especially since he's about 2 years old and I rescued him from a family member who didn't do anything with him at all. And I'm so happy seeing this video, he's a happy bun 🥰 so we are doing something right! I'm happy that he's happy 😊
I've also heard that a bunny circling you is like a cat rubbing its face on you, a way of saying "my human." The funniest thing about the 'bunny butt' behavior is that little look over the shoulder part. It's like they have to make sure you know they're irritated with you. Also, that little lop looks so much like my rabbit that died a few years ago. T.T
when i went on vacation for two weeks to visit family (i couldn’t take him with me so i had a friend take care of him), i came back and as soon as i came in the door he ran circles around my feet 💕💕💕
My bunny flopped so loudly sometimes it starteld me. Silly bunny. He went to the rainbow bridge december 28th last year at the age of 10,5. Miss you little guy.
I just got my first bunny, And this video taught me alot about my bunny and answered alot of my questions. Thank you for the amazing content! Lord bless you.
@@fiveweenies4533 Do you have a bunny yet? Or did you adopt or like buy from a breeder? I hope my parents let me have a bunny and if they let then we are going to adopt
Aww! Hehe yeah Mocha (my past bunny) flopped all the time and sometimes I had to poke him to make sure he was still alive. But then he’d get made I woke him up and give me the bunny butt. 😂
KateInTheCity same! But now my bunny flops all the time. Every time I let her out she'll flop at least 2 times and every time I just have to pet her because it's too cute. She loves being pet, too, which might be why she flops because she knows I pet her haha
Sorry for your loss I know it’s not easy people think we’re crazy that our buns mean that much to us I lost my last one about a year ago and I just got another one
My rabbit just had a seizure and passed a few weeks ago and I was watching this because I just found a bonded pair that I fell in love with. This has assuaged a lot of my self-inflicted guilt about doing everything wrong with Rowan because he displayed all of the happy behaviors that I didn't know were specific to being happy, such as begging, flipping, etc. Thank you for that.
@@nateo190 it's still rabbit domestic or not. One generation of domestication does not make it less edible. At least this way you recuperate some of the cost input into the care of the rabbit. If your rabbit loves you then your rabbit should have no problem feeding you. Is their any better way to get that final bit of emotional proximity and closure then to eat your rabbit near the end of its lifespan? Be one with your rabbit, consume it's essence entirely, and if you exercise and develop skeletal or cardiac muscle with the nutrition from your rabbit, you could carry your rabbit around with you until the day you die. Do not let the ground decompose your beloved rabbit into nothingness. Show it that last bit of honour. Do it for your rabbit.
@@nateo190 a rabbit is a prey animal not your blood relative or your own species. It's not cannibalism and futhermore rabbit meat is eat worldwide across all cultures and not taboo like dog (which are not prey animals). A rabbit has quite a lot of lean protein so if you cook abd then refrigerate you can pread the meat over a longer period. Combine this with a decent muscle building program and you will have made the most it. To be fair you are the one that is coming across hostile and obnoxious. A psychopath / sociopath isn't necessarily evil or violent. Psychos or born with little or no ability to feel guilt and empathy. This does not mean judging is impaired or anti social. A sociopatch is made not born so it's very difficult to find a socio who is not evil. But neither are relevant. This isn't about being empathic or feeling guilt after all the rabbit is dead and the rabbits feelings are no longer in play.
I heard my rabbit scream before, and I knew it was bad, and when I check on her, her head was stuck in the gaps of her x-pen, I removed the zip-ties to get the gap bigger and she removed her head eventually, that was a threat 😢
Definitely. My friend had a pet rabbit and her beagle got out and chased the bun all over the yard until we could contain the dog. The bunny was okay, but when i caught it to put it away, it screamed so loud. It was heartbreaking.
@@heyitscarrena1112 you told this story on every comment it was sad the first time now it's annoying we get it already the world doesn't revolve around you all mighty one
Thank you for all the info on bunny behavior. Someone dumped a black bunny where I work. I caught it bought a cage, food, treats, bedding, but know very little about care. This has explained many personality traits. Thanks again🐰
I had a rabbit that passed away 7 years ago, it was a very important part of my life and I miss him a LOT. Thanks to your video, I'm happy to know that my rabbit was feeling very well and happy with me, it did all the content and happy behaviors you listed and I wasn't aware that some of them were rare. I'm glad it had a happy life, even though I would do anything to see him again :'-(
do NOT trust everything is this video, half of "alert" behavior isnt caused by fear but by need to explore....bunny having ear forward looking like satelites is curious and happy bunny never ever ever would scared bunny have ears pointing forward!!!
After watching this...im 100% certain my bunny doesnt know if its mad at me or content. I rescued her from a bad breeder today. She has bald spots, very bad matting, and bites all over her. But she is still the sweetest bunny. She is a Holland Lop.
We got a bunny this last weekend and within a day he was doing these dramatic flops. I freaked out thinking we did something wrong but then realized he was just really happy. He does it all the time now😂
Definitely. My friend had a pet rabbit and her beagle got out and chased the bun all over the yard until we could contain the dog. The bunny was okay, but when i caught it to put it away, it screamed so loud. It was heartbreaking.
It is. My bunny died just half an hour ago, but we didn't get help on time. She wanted to live and tried so hard to stand up and eat so I just comforted her and cried from 6AM to 10AM. (My dad had work and couldn't arrive on time + money)
LittleDarkBunny 19 I am so so so sorry for your loss. A pet is NEVER “just a pet.” Pets are our family, our friends, they own our hearts. Wishing you peace in this hard time.
Both of my rabbits tend to sit in a position where their feet are completely under them so they’re basically a ball with a head! 😂 Never seen the Superman pose.
As a new owner of a rescued bunny, I thank you because I know next to nothing about my little man! Things make a lot more sense now after watching your video! He's not fixed, I don't know his age just yet and he's been flipping urine all over me at least once daily! I pray that he will stop soon as I can afford to get him fixed! I'm so in love with him already! It's been unexpected. Thank you again!
Yes, that's true. My bunny have one eye blue and one eye brown. And on the beginning (when we bought her) she was scared and her blue, wide eye look terrifying. But now she's more calm
I have heard a bunny scream several times, and because of that I thought that it wasn’t a big deal, it was just a sign to show that the bunny is scared, but when you say it like it thinks it’s about to die, I am now scared. My bunny doesn’t scream so often anymore, she has done it maybe four times when I’m about to give her some greens or when she’s in contact with one of the other bunnies. But when you got to the screaming my heart nearly stopped, I have to check on her now. Update: We’ve been looking a lot more closely at her, and we’ve been seeing a lot of scars and small wounds, so the other two bunnies have definitely bitten her, so we separated them a little bit and saw how it’s go, and I think it became like this when we got the new bunny who is a guy. But anyways she’s a lot more calm now, and happier Uwu
I don't even know your rabbit but I was scared when you said that he has scars I am happy that he is more calm and happy now❤ I hope that he will get better and he wont scream anymore (srry if there is bad english)
Make sure you got a BIG, spacious cage. Also let them out into the garden. Don't keep bunnies exclusively indoors. In fact, I think they shouldn't be indoors at all most of the time.
You posted it! Yay! 🙂 What a LOT of work this video must have been to put together! I know that informational videos like these take ages to find all of the clips, put the text, voiceovers, etc. You did a wonderful job and this will surely help a ton of people, especially new rabbit owners, to understand their rabbit's behavior and body language. 👏🏼 I don't even have a rabbit, but I found it interesting enough to sit and watch all 18 minutes of it! Good job!
I have found that my 1yrbold male rabbit can be quite funny, he often sits on blankets and smooths them out and then rucks them up and starts again My female rabbit also makes quiet honking noises when she does not want something, like going to the vets
Wow I learned so much. Sometimes I would chase my bunny and when he would hide in a corner of laundry he would thump. I thought this was his way of playfully telling me his location. I had no idea this was possibly a sign of fear or annoyance. Please provide clarification.
Your bunny is not happy when you chase him that is why he hides and then thumps. The thumping is sending a sign that danger is around (in this case the danger is when he is chased). I usually just lay on the floor until my bunnies come to me.
My bunny only thumps right before jumps. He used to thump then try to jump on the couch. Now he can get up here but he still always thumps first. I’m pretty sure he’s not ever scared or anything like that when he does it. He has the best personality. We got him for my girls, but he chose me. Lol
Mine too! It's a lighter thump and more grumbly growl than the sharp, angry ones she uses when she's scared or mad. It's easy to tell the difference because she's usually circling and begging the whole time.
I started watching this video thinking that it wasn't going to have much info about rabbits, but after watching it I am extremely surprised at how informative the video actually was! I've had rabbits for many many years now and this info is VERY accurate!! It was a great video, so I wanted to say THANKS for making it and informing people of rabbit behavior! You got a like and a full subscriber now!
I have a bunny and she does all of this sometimes when I'm petting her she will go to sleep for a while and as soon as I stop she will wake up and push her head down on my hand it's kinda funny to be honest
my rabbit does the same thing but when i ignore her she nudges, bites, and just thumps her feet to get my attention and i think it’s so funny cause she grunts too but in the end she gets kisses and cuddles so it’s okay
Having owned three rabbits, one for nearly 10 years, this is one of the best bunny advice videos I have seen. Very informative for new bunny owners. Thank you for your love of bunnies and efforts to inform potential owners! 😊
@Dee Vee I don't think so. Rabbits are prey animals. They check out the perimeter to figure out where to go if a fox happens to come visit. Those hops in the air aren't a sign of happiness. They are practicing a thousand generations of pre-programming of how to get away from predators. They twist in the air so that they land and head in a different direction than the animal chasing them.
@@sfish714 yes but just like with rats popcorning they use in play as well. When wrestling with my hand or playing with the other rats. As well as when they're exploring or hear a treat bag open. Just like dogs play fight, it's an instinct but they also use it in play. That's how they practice.
It really depends on a rabbit but "chewing" can be a signal to you, the owner, that they want something. On busy days it's a blessing for me. Once I hear the "chewing" I know they want my attention. Meaning: the water, hay or water has gone out. As a dog person, it made me realize bunnies are much smarter than I've previously thought.
Right, my daughters rabbit is free roam in her room but i change the box for him so when he needs it changed he comes to my room scratches on the door to let me know then runs back in his room. It really is about communication and learnig and listening to the signs🐰
I got 2 dwarf rabbits just yesterday, and this video has helped tremendously on getting to know the behavior of my animals! Thank you for very specific and detailed notes to distinguish the differences between them all!
Please consider doing your research before getting a rabbit. They are a 10 year commitment. if you can't commit time, effort, love and vet visits please do not get one. If you think you are ready to care for another sentient being, please get rabbits from your local rabbit shelter. A lot of them are abandoned especially during Easter.
@@DrPanda aww sorry to hear that. I have Asthma as a kid (still do now that I am older but manageable) and I find that I am more allergic to their hay than their fur :) Take care and stay healthy!
When a rabbit thumps it doesn't always means he's scared. My rabbit thumps when I'm too slow at giving him a treat or when I'm not paying attention to him. It shows that they really have their own individual personalitys and that makes me happy.
Thank you for this thorough video on bunny behaviors. I’m thinking about getting a bunny but am first researching as much as I can about them to make sure its something I really want and can handle.
Lol our rabbits are outdoor rabbits and the youngest is always knocking down the ramp in the hutch. I always get annoyed because the others have to use the ramp to get to the heated room, but I’m glad that she is doing it because she’s happy
I have had 2 new young bunnies for about 4 days and I am stressed out trying to understand them and make sure they are OK. Rabbit's are unlike any animal I've had, but thank goodness for TH-cam! Thanks for this video
6:18 my god Every time I'm close to my rabbit he does this and I was always sad, because I thought he is afraid of me and he's playing dead or something. Soooooooo I'm really happy right now
Thank you so much for your time and energy devoted towards rabbit care. I was thinking about getting a rabbit but decided against it because the care involved is way more than I could commit to. If I ever did decide to bring a bunny into my life, it would be a rescue for sure. I don't get my dogs and cats from stores like petco or PetSmart! Not saying those stores abuse animals, but some places where they buy their doggies, kitties, and bunnies DO ABUSE animals! It's just sickening. I suppose buying dog/cat food is okay, but please stop buying living pets from them. The puppy mills they come from is just horrible!!!!
I believe after this tutorial and feedback, I feel confident in being able to not just love our new bunny ( which will come home this week) but be better able to watch for signs of happiness and, fear and pain and better care for the well-being of our new addition
The thumping is probably done in fear / alert because wild rabbits will thump to alert family of danger. Honestly I think its a bit sweet when they thump because its like they are warning you as if you are family
wow, this video is comprehensive! as a person who always worries about not understanding the body language of animals i don't have experience with, i'm super glad i found this video
I wish I had known this when I had my rabbit!! (I had to give her back to her breeder [nice fam!]bc we moved into an apartment☹️) If I had known this I would have probably liked her and treated her way better bc a lot of this stuff, such as the head lowering for pets, I thought was her communication that she didn’t want pet, or when she would run super speed circles around my room or her cage- I thought she was scared😕😋 VERY informational video!!
This video was really interesting and informative for me as a bunny mom of two. I have seen my bunnies do not all but most of these things but I never necessarily knew what all of these mannerisms meant. Thank you for this. 😂🐰🐰
Thanks that helped me a lot with my two little bunno, two sisters full of character. They have almost all the happy behavior, and I'm doing my best to make sure they don't get too angry, but they do try to always check who will be the dominant.
Coming from a bunny owner and bunny lover that's been around the lagomorphs for close to 5 years now, I should tell you that you're wrong about some of the stuff you said in this video. Hopefully this will be educational to others as well - - Rabbits eat cecotropes not because they're happy but it's because nature designed them this way. As a matter of fact they usually try to be discreet about it - stomping isn't always anger driven. Sometimes they stomp cause they're happy or use the stomp as a boost before running - periscoping isn't always a sign of fear but more often curiosity - them lowering their heads before you pet them isn't sign of happiness but a sign of "yes you're the top bun" attitude - kicking feet back is actually a sign of happiness not anger. My Pikuś kicks his feet when he's happy and content. Absolutely zero fear Had to clarify some of these things for you and for others out there. Hope that's educational and it helps you guys. Rabbits are absolutely amazing but takes a good while to learn about them amd a ton of patience. If anyone has any questions about bunnies I'd love to be of assistance if I can
Pikuś Czuczi ty! My bunny periscopes all the time especially when she’s in a room she doesn’t always have access to, so this makes a lot more sense and also makes me less concerned about her being scared.
@@mezathome8162 my pleasure. Some of these videos are extremely misleading and these idiots talk with authority like they know what they're talking about thinking they're correct when in reality they couldn't be more wrong. So in other words not everything you see on TH-cam is correct information. Periscoping is almost ALWAYS a sign of curiosity and being playful and content. You'll know when bunny is scared or in fear because- his body will be lower to the ground, he'll look like he's ready to run, eyes wide open, ears all the way back. Hope that helps
Love the video. i miss my bunny so much and it's been 4 years, my wife wont let me get another, i am so ready for another one. your place looks like bunny heaven. the brown one with the white bottom that's showed a few times looks just like him.
I just bought my first bunny a few days ago and this helped me understand a lot! Luckily my bunny is doing a lot of happy things with a couple of anger things, but mostly happy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

The head toss and scratching is rly informative I was worried my bunny has something wrong with his ears cause of randomly tossing his head and scratching them. Good to know it’s natural happy behaviour. He does all the other happy behaviours too!
When your bunny runs around you fast in a circle both clockwise and anti clockwise it means they love you. It's called the "dance of love"
I thought she was just excited I’m glad she loves me! She’s also petting me a lot recently, similar to how they groom themselves haha.
thats so cute! im glad mines loves me
Mine does it all the time
Yay!!
My rabbit done that but she passed away. I miss her ;-;
Every time my bunny flops , our dog starts crying because she thinks she’s dead 😂😂😂
Lol
Apparently, they don't just scare us to death when they flop 😆
my bunny always scares me when she flops cause she likes to do it on loud surfaces so it sounds like she fell lol
I've had my rabbits for 4 years, and I still see them flopped, worry, and have to check they are alright. If when doing so I wake them up (if it isn't super obvious they are breathing when it's a cooler weather vs the summer time), they get pretty annoyed. I'll never learn -_-

My bunny is nudging me when I’m asleep in the living room. I think he’s checking if I’m alright. If he nudges me 3-4 times and I don’t move, it will bite my finger just a little bit to get a reaction.
that is so cute :)
Or he’s trying to eat you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ivy eat them while they’re down!
He's doing a wellness check! :)
Awwwwwww that’s so cute your rabbit loves you
The first time my bunny stood up and stuffed her ear in her mouth I nearly died from the cuteness. Threw out the cage before we got her in it. She is happy to run the house and she potties in the bathroom like a big girl. Not trained, she just gets it. Blows my mind.
Same thing happend with one bunny from my bonded pair, just set the litter bix in there, sprinkled in some poo and he got the idea
Lucky! I’m still struggling to train my baby bunny (he’s 10 weeks and keeps pooping in this one spot in my house 😂 He still goes in his litter, but also in the spot in the house when we let him out of the cage)
@@lunarialoonatic u might want to put an additional litterbox right where he poops outside the cage. At least it will be easier to clean up than him pooping on the floor...

We got my rabbit a litter box and he wasn’t trained-
Omgggg the bunny in the bed melted my heart 💓 😭🥺🥺
I've also heard that a bunny circling you is like a cat rubbing its face on you, a way of saying "my human."
The funniest thing about the 'bunny butt' behavior is that little look over the shoulder part. It's like they have to make sure you know they're irritated with you.
Also, that little lop looks so much like my rabbit that died a few years ago. T.T
im sorry for your loss
when i went on vacation for two weeks to visit family (i couldn’t take him with me so i had a friend take care of him), i came back and as soon as i came in the door he ran circles around my feet 💕💕💕
I got my first bunny yesterday i went to give them some grass the female bunny likes licking and circling me around
My cats do that to say “my pet” in public when we’re with other cats they don’t do it at home.
@@jiejie6549 how has the first two weeks with your bunny been?
My bunny flopped so loudly sometimes it starteld me. Silly bunny. He went to the rainbow bridge december 28th last year at the age of 10,5. Miss you little guy.
I LIKE rabbits
May he rest in peace. I know exactly how you feel, my little rabbit crossed rainbow bridge just last month. I miss her dearly.
xirisx1988 oof that’s my birthday now I’m sad 😢
Half of this bullshit made up stuff. Your grasping at straws trying to humanize a Sunday roast.
ding dong um I’m sorry but you know NOTHING about that. What makes u think it’s made up? That’s just very rude. Think before u speak.
I've always thought my bunnys were sad but they do all the happy stuff you just said
Bunnies are pretty calm so they do often look sad XD
My rabbit is crying, does this mean he is sad?
Nicholas Berry what do u mean?
Nicholas Berry If he is crying, it’s most likely discharge from the eyes. I recommend you take him to the vet just to make sure it’s nothing bad.
@BriteSlash YT same
I just got my first bunny, And this video taught me alot about my bunny and answered alot of my questions. Thank you for the amazing content! Lord bless you.
Where did u get them and I’m gonna try to get one soon so what should I know
@@fiveweenies4533 Do you have a bunny yet? Or did you adopt or like buy from a breeder? I hope my parents let me have a bunny and if they let then we are going to adopt
My bunny is showing mostly every sign of dominance to me
Gilbert Gonzalez excatly the same here! i’m the only person our rabbit has met so far that she does not show any sign of dominance. very weird
My bunny shows a lot of dominance but when she does I show her that I’m unaffected and she gives up😂
Alexis Mumford hahah :D
Bradley james 😂😂😂
My male rabbit always circles my feet and honks, and then precedes to try to rape my leg or foot.
Every. Single. Day.
Hahaha. Yes, soon after I first got my house bunny he flopped and I thought he was dying! But no, he's just fat and happy. lol
Aww! Hehe yeah Mocha (my past bunny) flopped all the time and sometimes I had to poke him to make sure he was still alive. But then he’d get made I woke him up and give me the bunny butt. 😂
Same!!!
KateInTheCity same! But now my bunny flops all the time. Every time I let her out she'll flop at least 2 times and every time I just have to pet her because it's too cute. She loves being pet, too, which might be why she flops because she knows I pet her haha
KateInTheCity-Same! She still does it now lol
Ikrr
Rabbit screams sound like a high pitched baby scream or a puppy cry. It is heart wrenching, and I hope no bunny parents ever have to hear it. 😭
Albino Devil 😢
Kiku91 I'm dreading the day when I hear, I hope I never do
I've heard it I was scared but the bunny is A ok
I heard it when my rabbit broke her leg. She got better and lived for almost 8 years...pretty good for a dwarf.
I hope you never have to hear it. :(
My rabbit just died, but at least I know she was a happy bunny
Awww...I am sorry to hear that! At least she was happy!
How
Same:/
Sorry for your loss I know it’s not easy people think we’re crazy that our buns mean that much to us I lost my last one about a year ago and I just got another one
Oh im so sorry
The bunny butt looks so shady 😂
Rue Roxanne i always tried to peek to see if mine took something 😭
My rabbit just had a seizure and passed a few weeks ago and I was watching this because I just found a bonded pair that I fell in love with. This has assuaged a lot of my self-inflicted guilt about doing everything wrong with Rowan because he displayed all of the happy behaviors that I didn't know were specific to being happy, such as begging, flipping, etc. Thank you for that.
You should have cooked it whilst you had the chance.

@@nateo190 it's still rabbit domestic or not. One generation of domestication does not make it less edible. At least this way you recuperate some of the cost input into the care of the rabbit. If your rabbit loves you then your rabbit should have no problem feeding you. Is their any better way to get that final bit of emotional proximity and closure then to eat your rabbit near the end of its lifespan? Be one with your rabbit, consume it's essence entirely, and if you exercise and develop skeletal or cardiac muscle with the nutrition from your rabbit, you could carry your rabbit around with you until the day you die. Do not let the ground decompose your beloved rabbit into nothingness. Show it that last bit of honour. Do it for your rabbit.
@@nateo190 a rabbit is a prey animal not your blood relative or your own species. It's not cannibalism and futhermore rabbit meat is eat worldwide across all cultures and not taboo like dog (which are not prey animals).
A rabbit has quite a lot of lean protein so if you cook abd then refrigerate you can pread the meat over a longer period. Combine this with a decent muscle building program and you will have made the most it.
To be fair you are the one that is coming across hostile and obnoxious. A psychopath / sociopath isn't necessarily evil or violent. Psychos or born with little or no ability to feel guilt and empathy. This does not mean judging is impaired or anti social. A sociopatch is made not born so it's very difficult to find a socio who is not evil. But neither are relevant. This isn't about being empathic or feeling guilt after all the rabbit is dead and the rabbits feelings are no longer in play.
@@Abby-uk7rv i edited the beginning of my last comment. no deletion.
I heard my rabbit scream before, and I knew it was bad, and when I check on her, her head was stuck in the gaps of her x-pen, I removed the zip-ties to get the gap bigger and she removed her head eventually, that was a threat 😢
Definitely. My friend had a pet rabbit and her beagle got out and chased the bun all over the yard until we could contain the dog. The bunny was okay, but when i caught it to put it away, it screamed so loud. It was heartbreaking.
Omg that’s so scary
@@heyitscarrena1112 you told this story on every comment it was sad the first time now it's annoying we get it already the world doesn't revolve around you all mighty one
Your Mother Well, it’s nice to spread stories, you can just skip the comment
no hate
Your Mother I agree.
Thank you for all the info on bunny behavior. Someone dumped a black bunny where I work. I caught it bought a cage, food, treats, bedding, but know very little about care. This has explained many personality traits. Thanks again🐰
I had a rabbit that passed away 7 years ago, it was a very important part of my life and I miss him a LOT. Thanks to your video, I'm happy to know that my rabbit was feeling very well and happy with me, it did all the content and happy behaviors you listed and I wasn't aware that some of them were rare. I'm glad it had a happy life, even though I would do anything to see him again :'-(
leplubodeslapin I know how you feel l lost 3 old rabbits 🐇 to a horrible disease but l am glad that they were very happy
This is very informational, thank you!
The “bunny butt” is exactly what my new Lop bunny did to me when I wouldn’t let her eat my nachos!! Hilarious!
do NOT trust everything is this video, half of "alert" behavior isnt caused by fear but by need to explore....bunny having ear forward looking like satelites is curious and happy bunny never ever ever would scared bunny have ears pointing forward!!!
After watching this...im 100% certain my bunny doesnt know if its mad at me or content. I rescued her from a bad breeder today. She has bald spots, very bad matting, and bites all over her. But she is still the sweetest bunny. She is a Holland Lop.
How's it going now that you've had her for several months?
How's she doing after having her this long?
We got a bunny this last weekend and within a day he was doing these dramatic flops. I freaked out thinking we did something wrong but then realized he was just really happy. He does it all the time now😂
My heart is MELTING FOR THESE PRECIOUS LITTLE CINNAMON ROLLS.
A bunny scream is heart wrecking. No one should hear it
Maria Fernández yes it is very painful 😣
And bunnies should never have to do it :(
Definitely. My friend had a pet rabbit and her beagle got out and chased the bun all over the yard until we could contain the dog. The bunny was okay, but when i caught it to put it away, it screamed so loud. It was heartbreaking.
It is. My bunny died just half an hour ago, but we didn't get help on time.
She wanted to live and tried so hard to stand up and eat so I just comforted her and cried from 6AM to 10AM. (My dad had work and couldn't arrive on time + money)
LittleDarkBunny 19 I am so so so sorry for your loss. A pet is NEVER “just a pet.” Pets are our family, our friends, they own our hearts. Wishing you peace in this hard time.
I love how when ur bonding them you use a clean thing to separate them
A dust pan? 😂
That is not nice to say
I think
The bunny yawn was so cute! My favorite part! 🥱
Both of my rabbits tend to sit in a position where their feet are completely under them so they’re basically a ball with a head! 😂
Never seen the Superman pose.
My two buns are doing this a lot. Imagine, how ridiculously funny this was, when their balls suddenly appeared.
Mine loved the Superman pose, it looks hilarious. To me it looks like a bodybuilder with an overdeveloped torso and a teeny waist and toothpick legs 😂
I always think about how chickens sit when I see them sitting like this
I call that "bunny loaf" or "hovercraft" position
When my bunny yawns I️ scream cuz it’s the cutest thing omg
OMG ME TOO!!! love love love my babies!!!
Amy Parker
My favorite is a sneeze 😂 I’ve had a baby bunny for 2 months and I’ve only seen her sneeze once.. but it was ADORABLE
I put rabbit music my rabbit yawns
Haven Valentine same my bunny, when he sneezes... he sneezes A LOT
Lemex27 Gaming
Aw, does he have some sort of a respiratory infection ?
I feel so special today! We’ve had our bunny for three years and today she finally jumped up on the couch beside me to cuddle.
As a new owner of a rescued bunny, I thank you because I know next to nothing about my little man! Things make a lot more sense now after watching your video!
He's not fixed, I don't know his age just yet and he's been flipping urine all over me at least once daily! I pray that he will stop soon as I can afford to get him fixed!
I'm so in love with him already! It's been unexpected. Thank you again!
THIS WAS SO AMAZING!! I’m so glad you could do this and I hope it helps so many people!!
Victoria Raechel i luv your vids
Victoria Raechel I love your vids
it helps really i love rabbits becouse of chinnese calendar and just they are cute ...
Only once have I heard my rabbit scream, it's the most heartbreaking thing to ever hear from your bunny
can I just add, bunnies with blue eyes are absolutely _terrifying_ when their eyes are wide
Yes, that's true. My bunny have one eye blue and one eye brown. And on the beginning (when we bought her) she was scared and her blue, wide eye look terrifying. But now she's more calm
Wut my bunny with blue eyes is so cute
@@creepypeep6837 I also think Zuzia(my bunny) is cute (very cute) but when she has wide eyes she look creepy
Mine has red eyes
I agree?
This is the best bunny video I have ever watched. Explains alot of what my bunnies do and why. Very informative. Thank you so much 💖
When my bunny did his first flop I thought he was dead he was just happy
CUPCAKE LAND same
Life with Nevaeh Me too lol. It happened today and I got really scared! XD
Same I cried
I thought it was just me, haha.
My roomate was about to call me to tell me about my bunny death because he flopped. Then he made a noise that woke him up and he was like : ouf...
I have heard a bunny scream several times, and because of that I thought that it wasn’t a big deal, it was just a sign to show that the bunny is scared, but when you say it like it thinks it’s about to die, I am now scared.
My bunny doesn’t scream so often anymore, she has done it maybe four times when I’m about to give her some greens or when she’s in contact with one of the other bunnies.
But when you got to the screaming my heart nearly stopped, I have to check on her now.
Update:
We’ve been looking a lot more closely at her, and we’ve been seeing a lot of scars and small wounds, so the other two bunnies have definitely bitten her, so we separated them a little bit and saw how it’s go, and I think it became like this when we got the new bunny who is a guy.
But anyways she’s a lot more calm now, and happier Uwu
Go to the Vet and update us. Hope everything is ok, good luck! :3
I don't even know your rabbit but I was scared when you said that he has scars I am happy that he is more calm and happy now❤ I hope that he will get better and he wont scream anymore (srry if there is bad english)
Make sure you got a BIG, spacious cage. Also let them out into the garden. Don't keep bunnies exclusively indoors. In fact, I think they shouldn't be indoors at all most of the time.
@@iWillWakeYouUp Bunnies should always live inside. . .
if a bunny is scared he thinks he is gonna die too, i dont think it always have to do with pain, you just have an sensitive bunny ;)
Yay! My new bunny (I've had her for 4 days) nudges, flops, runs, digs, and binkies. I'm glad this is all good.
As someone who will probably never have a pet rabbit I can say that this was very helpful
So my rabbit eats his own poop ?!?!?!
I just thought he was scratching himself down there
guinea pigs do the same thing :)
Guinea pigs are little furry potatoes with legs
@@Shrek_Now_go_away little loafs :)❤️
Reina Arana yeah they’re called cecotropes I think. It’s for nutrients and you shouldn’t stop them from doing it 😊
I gave my bunny some of my banana........
You posted it! Yay! 🙂 What a LOT of work this video must have been to put together! I know that informational videos like these take ages to find all of the clips, put the text, voiceovers, etc. You did a wonderful job and this will surely help a ton of people, especially new rabbit owners, to understand their rabbit's behavior and body language. 👏🏼 I don't even have a rabbit, but I found it interesting enough to sit and watch all 18 minutes of it! Good job!
Thank you!!! It was a LOT of work! I love how it turned out but of course I am still thinking of more behaviors I could have added! 😅
HoppingHammy I love your vids u are do gresty
HoppingHammy ****great
HoppingHammy l
HoppingHammy ikr
This video was extremely helpful, im getting a rabbit soon and I just sent this to my whole family. Thank you!
I've been worried my bunny was unhappy or something, but I'm so glad to find out she's nothing but happy!
When bunny's eat there poop I say "are u eating poopsicles?"
I have found that my 1yrbold male rabbit can be quite funny, he often sits on blankets and smooths them out and then rucks them up and starts again
My female rabbit also makes quiet honking noises when she does not want something, like going to the vets
15:34 I feel really sorry for the black bunny having to watch that
I’m so glad you mentioned the binky and mini binky. I came looking for that exact behavior. I was worried that the binky was a bad sign. ❤️❤️
Wow I learned so much. Sometimes I would chase my bunny and when he would hide in a corner of laundry he would thump. I thought this was his way of playfully telling me his location. I had no idea this was possibly a sign of fear or annoyance. Please provide clarification.
Yes it is a sign of fear. He's not necessarily afraid of you, maybe just of the chasing?
Don't chase your bunny. Bunnies are prey animals, they can be scared of you thinking you're a predator.
Bunnies are prey animals so yes it’s prob fear they could think that something is trying to catch them to eat them
Your bunny is not happy when you chase him that is why he hides and then thumps. The thumping is sending a sign that danger is around (in this case the danger is when he is chased). I usually just lay on the floor until my bunnies come to me.
My bunny only thumps right before jumps. He used to thump then try to jump on the couch. Now he can get up here but he still always thumps first. I’m pretty sure he’s not ever scared or anything like that when he does it. He has the best personality. We got him for my girls, but he chose me. Lol
My bunny will make little noises and sometimes thump her foot when she thinks I'm taking too long to feed her
Mine too! It's a lighter thump and more grumbly growl than the sharp, angry ones she uses when she's scared or mad. It's easy to tell the difference because she's usually circling and begging the whole time.
Genevieve McClure mine bight the bars near their bowl if they think I’ve forgotten to give them breakfast 😂
HAHA same my bunny is always thumping and “buzzing”
Genevieve McClure My Bunny like show me her butt whenever I talk to her 😅😅
My rabbit does that , circles me and nibbles on my legs to get my attention 😂
I started watching this video thinking that it wasn't going to have much info about rabbits, but after watching it I am extremely surprised at how informative the video actually was! I've had rabbits for many many years now and this info is VERY accurate!! It was a great video, so I wanted to say THANKS for making it and informing people of rabbit behavior! You got a like and a full subscriber now!
I loved this thank you I just recently adopted a bunny and I’m trying to learn everything I can to make her happy ☺️
Whenever I leave my rabbits for a few days and come home they flick their feet at me and ignore me because they are angry it’s kind of funny
Audrey Rose that’s why I love bunnies😂 so many different personalities!
My bun does the same, but even after a few hours 😂
Lilith Nox I go to horse shows but my family is still there to take care of them if I could I would take them with😂
Lilith Nox Is she not allowed to have a life of her own jeez
mine does that too.
I have a bunny and she does all of this sometimes when I'm petting her she will go to sleep for a while and as soon as I stop she will wake up and push her head down on my hand it's kinda funny to be honest
Sunflower Timez awwww my bun does the same thing 🥰 so cute
my rabbit does the same thing but when i ignore her she nudges, bites, and just thumps her feet to get my attention and i think it’s so funny cause she grunts too but in the end she gets kisses and cuddles so it’s okay
When the bunny yawned omg I was literaly like "omg that was the cutest thing ever"🥺
Having owned three rabbits, one for nearly 10 years, this is one of the best bunny advice videos I have seen. Very informative for new bunny owners. Thank you for your love of bunnies and efforts to inform potential owners! 😊
I just brought my rabbit home and withing 2 hours he was doing a bunny 500 for like 10 minutes.
@Dee Vee I don't think so. Rabbits are prey animals. They check out the perimeter to figure out where to go if a fox happens to come visit. Those hops in the air aren't a sign of happiness. They are practicing a thousand generations of pre-programming of how to get away from predators. They twist in the air so that they land and head in a different direction than the animal chasing them.
sfish714 Nope. A binky is a major sign of happiness. Even dogs will do a similar behavior when they’re excited and happy.
So I've had him since the end of June and from the beginning he was very comfortable with me. Hes so rotten and hyper.
@@sfish714 yes but just like with rats popcorning they use in play as well. When wrestling with my hand or playing with the other rats. As well as when they're exploring or hear a treat bag open. Just like dogs play fight, it's an instinct but they also use it in play. That's how they practice.
@@PinkMetalHead ive seen lamas do it lol
It really depends on a rabbit but "chewing" can be a signal to you, the owner, that they want something. On busy days it's a blessing for me. Once I hear the "chewing" I know they want my attention. Meaning: the water, hay or water has gone out. As a dog person, it made me realize bunnies are much smarter than I've previously thought.
Right, my daughters rabbit is free roam in her room but i change the box for him so when he needs it changed he comes to my room scratches on the door to let me know then runs back in his room. It really is about communication and learnig and listening to the signs🐰
my bunny does the same so she can wake me up at 6 am for pellets lol at least i'll be a morning person now
My rabbit binkys when he hears a vacume 😂😂
Lily Parkinson HAHAAAAA AWWW
I got my first rabbit yesterday. She is very sweet and has already taking a liking to me she likes laying on my tummy
Their yawn is sooo cute
I got 2 dwarf rabbits just yesterday, and this video has helped tremendously on getting to know the behavior of my animals! Thank you for very specific and detailed notes to distinguish the differences between them all!
To Mom and Dad,
Give 👏 Me 👏 A 👏 Rabbit 👏
If you get one make sure to take care of it, and make sure to adopt too a lot of rabbits are being abandoned
Please consider doing your research before getting a rabbit. They are a 10 year commitment. if you can't commit time, effort, love and vet visits please do not get one. If you think you are ready to care for another sentient being, please get rabbits from your local rabbit shelter. A lot of them are abandoned especially during Easter.
Audraelynne Grimmelhaussen I can’t get a rabbit I’m allergic lol. I was just kidding. I really appreciate your concern towards rabbits though!
@@DrPanda aww sorry to hear that. I have Asthma as a kid (still do now that I am older but manageable) and I find that I am more allergic to their hay than their fur :) Take care and stay healthy!
Thanks!
This was the firsr and best video i watched as a first time bunny owner, it helped alot!
The first time my bunny flopped I thought she was dead
Yeah i remeber the first time my rabbit did that aswell, i panicked a little.
Samee
Nicholas Berry what why😂
Haha haha but seriously don’t say that
Lol same
When a rabbit thumps it doesn't always means he's scared. My rabbit thumps when I'm too slow at giving him a treat or when I'm not paying attention to him. It shows that they really have their own individual personalitys and that makes me happy.
Thank you for this thorough video on bunny behaviors. I’m thinking about getting a bunny but am first researching as much as I can about them to make sure its something I really want and can handle.
I love love love how you treat your bunnies. They have so much space
Lol our rabbits are outdoor rabbits and the youngest is always knocking down the ramp in the hutch. I always get annoyed because the others have to use the ramp to get to the heated room, but I’m glad that she is doing it because she’s happy
Her: running means the rabbit is content
Me: no I'm pretty sure it's running away from me😬
Rabbits are big teases too, mine will come to me, then take off again, like "Hey Ocean, just try to catch me! Hah!"
My bun thumped when I was giving it a baby talk😂😬😂
Lol
If it could speak, it would probably say this,” will you STOP talking to me like that!”
I have had 2 new young bunnies for about 4 days and I am stressed out trying to understand them and make sure they are OK. Rabbit's are unlike any animal I've had, but thank goodness for TH-cam! Thanks for this video
6:18 my god
Every time I'm close to my rabbit he does this and I was always sad, because I thought he is afraid of me and he's playing dead or something.
Soooooooo I'm really happy right now
Thank you so much for your time and energy devoted towards rabbit care. I was thinking about getting a rabbit but decided against it because the care involved is way more than I could commit to. If I ever did decide to bring a bunny into my life, it would be a rescue for sure. I don't get my dogs and cats from stores like
petco or PetSmart! Not saying those stores abuse animals, but some places where they buy their doggies, kitties, and bunnies DO ABUSE animals!
It's just sickening.
I suppose buying dog/cat food is okay, but please stop buying living pets from them. The puppy mills they come from is just horrible!!!!
i find it creepy how bunnies can sleep with their eyes open
ikr
humans can too haha
Oh my bunny always sleeps with his eyes open
Ikr
Im actually scrualling down the comments while watching the vid so i didnt know that
My bunny naps with his eyes closed but sleeps with his eyes halfway open
I believe after this tutorial and feedback, I feel confident in being able to not just love our new bunny ( which will come home this week) but be better able to watch for signs of happiness and, fear and pain and better care for the well-being of our new addition
The thumping is probably done in fear / alert because wild rabbits will thump to alert family of danger. Honestly I think its a bit sweet when they thump because its like they are warning you as if you are family
My familly calls ''bunnies laying down" splooting :3
The Emerald Bunny SPLOOTING THATS ADORABLE
Haha haha buuut I don’t get it
@@fajardoblog6535 lol same :D
Yeah that’s what dogs do! When dogs to it it’s called splooting! So my family started using it on our rabbit aswell since we used it in our dogs lol
Who is watching this in quarantine??
me lol
y e s
Me :P
Me
Me, lol 😆
wow, this video is comprehensive!
as a person who always worries about not understanding the body language of animals i don't have experience with, i'm super glad i found this video
I wish I had known this when I had my rabbit!! (I had to give her back to her breeder [nice fam!]bc we moved into an apartment☹️) If I had known this I would have probably liked her and treated her way better bc a lot of this stuff, such as the head lowering for pets, I thought was her communication that she didn’t want pet, or when she would run super speed circles around my room or her cage- I thought she was scared😕😋 VERY informational video!!
This video was really interesting and informative for me as a bunny mom of two. I have seen my bunnies do not all but most of these things but I never necessarily knew what all of these mannerisms meant.
Thank you for this. 😂🐰🐰
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a video like this for my rabbits!
Thanks that helped me a lot with my two little bunno, two sisters full of character.
They have almost all the happy behavior, and I'm doing my best to make sure they don't get too angry, but they do try to always check who will be the dominant.
Coming from a bunny owner and bunny lover that's been around the lagomorphs for close to 5 years now, I should tell you that you're wrong about some of the stuff you said in this video. Hopefully this will be educational to others as well -
- Rabbits eat cecotropes not because they're happy but it's because nature designed them this way. As a matter of fact they usually try to be discreet about it
- stomping isn't always anger driven. Sometimes they stomp cause they're happy or use the stomp as a boost before running
- periscoping isn't always a sign of fear but more often curiosity
- them lowering their heads before you pet them isn't sign of happiness but a sign of "yes you're the top bun" attitude
- kicking feet back is actually a sign of happiness not anger. My Pikuś kicks his feet when he's happy and content. Absolutely zero fear
Had to clarify some of these things for you and for others out there. Hope that's educational and it helps you guys. Rabbits are absolutely amazing but takes a good while to learn about them amd a ton of patience. If anyone has any questions about bunnies I'd love to be of assistance if I can
Pikuś Czuczi ty! My bunny periscopes all the time especially when she’s in a room she doesn’t always have access to, so this makes a lot more sense and also makes me less concerned about her being scared.
@@mezathome8162 my pleasure. Some of these videos are extremely misleading and these idiots talk with authority like they know what they're talking about thinking they're correct when in reality they couldn't be more wrong. So in other words not everything you see on TH-cam is correct information.
Periscoping is almost ALWAYS a sign of curiosity and being playful and content. You'll know when bunny is scared or in fear because- his body will be lower to the ground, he'll look like he's ready to run, eyes wide open, ears all the way back. Hope that helps
I guess it really just depend on the bunny lol
@@pikusczuczi6898 She even said periscopeing isnt always a sign of fear calm down shes trying to help
@@mackenzie8773 so am I explaining that some of her information is misleading
15:59 This rabbit deserves some royalties for the amount of replays his thump is getting!
Love the video. i miss my bunny so much and it's been 4 years, my wife wont let me get another, i am so ready for another one. your place looks like bunny heaven. the brown one with the white bottom that's showed a few times looks just like him.

Rani Rani Bunny Crying For A Walk Aired On August 22, 2018.
My bunny flopped while I was petting her. MY HEART
Lovely video! The FLOP is my favorite xD
WOLFSTAR my rabbit is a frequent flopper. I can’t help but laugh every time. I always tell the wife “ great, the died again”
The head toss and scratching is rly informative I was worried my bunny has something wrong with his ears cause of randomly tossing his head and scratching them. Good to know it’s natural happy behaviour. He does all the other happy behaviours too!
