This video is all about tips for safely bringing your rabbits outside. Our rabbits love the fresh air and open space the backyard provides them but it's very important that you do some prep work first to ensure their outdoor space is safe for them.
Pet waste can also be hazardous to your rabbit's health because it attracts bacteria, flies and various parasites. Even if it's cleaned up regularly, the scent or particles left behind can be enough to draw these harmful things to those areas. If your rabbit comes in to contact with any of them these things can easily be transmitted. You will also want to avoid stagnant areas of water such as bird baths or ponds which are mosquito and fly havens.
If you would like to learn more about the dangers of bringing your rabbits outdoors I suggest you read these articles on my blog:

I would also like to note that I do not think some of the photos of runs I used in this video would be a suitable space for your rabbit to get the proper exercise they need. Instead I thought they would be great as attachments to other run areas or to give ideas of something you could build your own rabbits.
Depending on the type of backyard you have it may be safer to have your rabbit in an enclosed area such as those provided by the link below. I have not been paid by this company and am not actively promoting this website but thought the photos of runs this company creates may give you some creative ideas:

Damn, I miss my bunny so much. But I think I gave her a good life. She trusted me, I gave her my ENTIRE garden to dig, run around in. Everyday At dusk, I would open my door so she could come back inside in our warm house. She'd automatically go in her cage. At morning, I'd let her out (she always peed outside immediately lol, never in her cage) so she could explore my garden again. Never had the need to mow my lawn again haha. Once I went on holidays and let my bunny stay at a friends house (he also had a bunny, male) that male bunny couldnt resist the beauty of my female alpha bunny and somehow escaped from his cage and made love to mine like romeo and julia... So a few weeks later she had baby bunnies, adorable. They'd walk together in our garden, eating grass and exploring with her mother. It was such an amazing sight that I can never forget. She led a relatively short but fulfilled life (3,5 years), and I think she experienced more life and freedom than most domesticated bunnies would ever have. She died to myxomatosis.... I cried so hard lol, so please vaccinate your bunnies against diseases. Her name was Scurfy.
Johnny Zhu that is so sad 😪 i hope you get another bunny soon

Aw I’m so sorry. There’s not very good pet owners like you, I wish that every pet got that good of a life. R.I.P. Scurfy
Her voice kept going super high sometimes, then it would go lower again.
Awww so lovely of you to rescue it! That's how I find Willow - she was being picked on by a crow and her foot was all cut open :(
Thank you! I was unaware off the lawnmower and I didn't even think about chemicals in the grass. This is a really help. If I get a rabbit I want him/her to be super super safe.
:)
Wonderful video as always! I have to laugh a little at the contrast though as for our outdoor bunnies playtime they have to come inside! Its too dry for grass to grow so we don't have that benefit which is a shame. I had to say blimey at 22c mind as the current temperature here is 38-42c both inside and out!
Luckily our bunnies were born here so they have acclimatised to it and apart from being very lazy in the summer they aren't affected. :) x
Oh, one more thing... more videos please! :D x
your bunnies are so stinking cute, hopping around the yard :-)
I love to see your little ones hopping around. I wish I had some grass in my patio.
Such a good video and something new owners wont think about. I love how much room they have when they are out! Lucky bun buns xx
My bunny is outside in a hutch bc my parents say that my room smells or it’s messy so we moved her out side and she found a little crack and sneaking out and then I was looking for her found her she was happily hopping around my back yard and stayed close to me and I have a giant yard a really big one and I was surprised that she didn’t run away now Ik to close the door the right way.
Amazing video! Was very helpful, and super enjoyable! Your bunnies are just so adorable and I love watching your videos!
Thank you! :)
+BudgetBunny you are the most helpful bunny youtuber.
BudgetBunny my bunny released escaped from hutch? And been gone for 2 days do u have any ideas what to do:((
You don't have to bring your rabbit outdoors, it's just an option some owners like to have. I just wanted to make sure that if anyone was planning to bring their rabbit outside, they do it as safely as possible.
❤🥰🐰🐇❤ I LOVE THE SETUP YOUVE MADE FOR THEM IN THE YARD AND THEY ARE SO HAPPY !!!
I am getting a bunny and I was wondering if you could make a video of what to look for the bunny and how to make everything relaxing for the bunny?
hi.
i have a problem.
So, when i was 11 i wanted to have a bunny, so we bought two from a near farmer. Keeping them indoors was not a discussion. We never even thought that we would/could keep them indoors. So, my bunnys lived a happy, healthy life for....7 years now..i think.
So, the problem is. My bunny died. Didn't have lots of symtoms, just that he was staying at one place the whole day and we found him dead the next morning.
My bunnys were never sick. They lived a really good life outdoors. We have neighbours with dogs who bark, but that never seemed to bother them. They lived through the coldest winter and the hottest summer.
So, now i have this one bunny left, he'll be so alone if i keep him outside.
Over the weeked i kept him in my bedroom and he starts to like it i think. xD But my parents freaked out and wanted him outside immediately. Saying that my bedrom was not a "hutch".
Convincing my parents doesn't seem possible, cause how can i convince them that keeping a bunny outdoors is SOOO DANGEROUS when really nothing ever happend in 7 YEARS!
Oh, god. I don't know what i should do.
Maybe try and compromise with them to let you keep it in another room, or explain what you think happened and how un-safe it is to keep a bunny outdoors. That's probably your best option. Just try your best and I'm sure your parents will come around :)
Maybe try to convince your parents to let your bunnies in an enclosed place. Before I started free roaming mars in my home, I bought a puppy play pen and kept him in my office room. You could try to keep your bun in maybe a basement, laundry room, guest room, hallway, etc. Bunnies can be litter trained so their poop/pee won’t be a problem and bunnies themselves don’t smell bad at all and actually smell like really good. I don’t see a problem your parents would have with your fur baby being indoors. You can bond WAY better with your bun and easily spot problems and any illness. I know this is late but I really hoped this helped!
ByeBitch 《 can u stop hating on him? he didn't say anything wrong, I mean most farmers keep their rabbits outside, I have a bunny and I keep her in our balcony most of the time but I let her in my bedroom two hours a day. And if u think his bunnies can't survive outside then how do wild bunnies survive? our way of raising bunnies is wrong. Rabbits should learn to live like any other rabbits. They should live outdoors and smell fresh air, not trapped in a house.
My dad owns a massive park near my house with alot of grass and alot of tall grass my i take my rabbit for a walk in it and she loves it
awww they are so gorgeous. bunny love from the uk
My friend keeps her rabbit out 24/7 and he gets no human unteraction or love and he barley gets fresh hay food or water. 😩😩😰😰😭😭😭
i know i wrote this comment 3 years ago so here’s an update: he literally disappeared n they couldn’t find him
That's so sad
Then I would suggest reporting the horrible bitch.
Why are you still their friend?
Report her
Same here!! Kidnapp the bunny if they still have it...
Thanks Stephenie! I know our rabbits enjoy the fresh air, grass and extra space but I see a lot of videos where bunnies are running behind hedges and to small holes in the fence....bunnies are quick and I just want to make sure that anyone that does bring their bunny outdoors does it as safely as possible :) And we have just an itty bitty backyard but it's perfect for bunnies!! :D
I live in Florida and I can assure you that rabbits used to a southern temperate climate are perfectly comfortable and happy outdoors at 71 degrees Fahrenheit. Rabbits run a risk of overheating and should be monitored and obviously given shelter and water etc but there is no risk at that temperature.
One day I'm sure you'll have a lovely backyard to call your own :) In the meantime enjoy the fact that you don't have the upkeep. I hate gardening lol. And thanks! I had a few people ask to know more about bringing their bunnies outside as they'd seen photos of mine on fb but were nervous about their rabbit's safety :)
Thanks Todd! That sounds so awesome! Have a safe journey!
a few years ago. Can't wait for the next video!
Yeah
I'm so excited I'm picking up my bunny today thanks to you I know all what I need!
Hehehe, I can't get enough of Rocky marking everything with his chin. :) Your backyard is so beautiful! Such luscious green grass! We're having trouble with our grass, some places it's so nice and others it just won't grow or dies off after awhile. Very informational video! Definitely gave me a couple of new ideas and tips. :) I never thought about the dog waste thing. Luckily Max is trained to do his business in this dirt patch on the side of the yard since my mom got sick of our grass dying
this 1 of the cutest videos you have ever made and great info about having them outside and I love your channel!!!!!!
how do they groom themselves in the wild without dying
These are domestic rabbits, wild rabbits are built to live in the wild. Domestic rabbits are built to live in home or be adopted. (Sometimes they can be released into the wild and may die.) To answer your question.
They groom in their burrows
Hahaha nice! That's usually how it is in the Spring and Fall here but for the most part our summers are just too hot for the rabbits and guinea pigs to be out much.
Awwww thank you HH :) My little backyard is my sanctuary! The bunnies love it and I love that it seems to be the perfect size for them to feel they've got a lot of space but not too much that I feel they're out of reach if something were to happen. It takes me so long to plan my videos as I don't want to miss anything in my information! The filming is the easy part ;)
such a great informative video! I'm meeting my rabbit group in Central Park when i move to NYC. The info on this video gave great tips for when I bring them out to the park.
many people in my area have their rabbits live outdoors we even have hundreds of wild rabbits in the hills of our city, not much predators as we live in san francisco bay area, and weathers never to hot, or cold.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm going to get a baby bunny this Saturday!
Thank you so much! When we bought the house the backyard was pretty much a giant mud pit so it's come a long way! Heehee!
My rabbit is outside now and it's cold but he loves it outside he sit in the shed
Hi There! They get a very small amount of Martin Mills pellets daily, unlimited hay, fresh grass and bunny safe weeds and plants along with daily veggies! :)
How do you get them back in the house ?
I think your in love with bunnies!
I know. :) I just wish that he'd have a safe and large space to play outdoors in. Thanks for the video, it's really informative.
MY MOM DOESN'T LET MY BUNNY INSIDE AND She now just lives out side. But whe do give her food but if it's night she's in her cage otherwise freee
thats horrible for the rabbit, you need to show your mother resources like rabbit.org
and teach her your rabbit can be litter trained, and live indoors. Leaving them outside is abuse, they are prey animals
Lucky your weather is great!! It's been raining or too hot a ton this month here!! Lol. Great vid!!
Hahaha I'm picturing your rabbits hanging out by the pool with sunglasses on sipping sangria in their bikinis!!! ;) Our summers easily get in the high 40s - we were around 48C for a lot of July but my bunnies do not do well in the high temps. Luckily we have a/c so when we're going to have a day hotter than 25C I've got it on. I'm sure your rabbits would find our weather freezing cold over here! And I'm working on more videos for you I promise!!!! :D
I'm getting 2 rabbits and their going outside in a big hutch and I'm building a run if it is cold or hot I might be able to take them inside to have play time in a nonwet tub. when it's cold outside I'll cover it with cover and all so they won't get cold and when it is hot I will add ice in their water and all. does that sound good to you?
pet palace NOOOOOOO!!! Do NOT put them in a hutch! please don’t put them outside either! Rabbits do not belong outside! Do your research
Loved the video sooo helpful I have two dogs two rabbits and a chinchilla and usually we all go outside at the same time.... very helpful... your bunnies are adorable!!! Rocky looks exactly like my domino!!!
i let my bunny out and check up on him (theirs kids and all ways people around the yard near where my bunny plays) and to day one of my sibs put the bunny back in his hutch cause their was a cat! you really do gotta look after and out for you'r bunny
When the bunnies were scratching on the cardboard, I was looking around thinking it was my bunny 😂😂.
I let my rabbit outside today, I have a harness and a pen so it depends on the day on what I use. My rabbit just loves to take naps under the tree. I will liedown beside him and he will come up and groom me:)
great video. I know its been 7 years since this video, but do you still have any of these particular bunnies as they would be quit old now?
Thank you 🥰 Willow was actually the last of the original Bb buns and passed in August at 11.5 years old. She aged gracefully up until the end. ❤️ Sure do miss this original crew but they all lived great and happy lives!
@@BudgetBunny wow, that is a very long run. My bunny's 3'rd bday is coming up and she is a Rex rabbit, I love her so much. I'm trying to do everything right for her.
I really Love her bunnies especially willow
But what about getting them back in? If they are having too much fun and wont come when you call, or if they get spooked and go hide and wont come out, how do you get them back inside without having to chase them all over the garden?
What do you think of having your rabbit outside on a rabbit leash
My parents don’t allow me to have my 6 year old rabbit inside . She always sleeps outside and since I love on a farm she has always lived in a hutch. Is that a bad thing ?
But how do u bring them outside if u don't have any fences or gates
Where did you buy all the awesome cardboard tunnels in this video? Thank you.
You can purchase the Tunnel Haven at our online shop: facebook.com/budgetbunnyshop/photos/pb.1541697252741437.-2207520000.1421004820./1541727472738415/?type=3&theater :)
Where did you get that huge box with holes in it?
I left one of my rabbits outside all day without a fence out of curiosity and he stays in one part of my yard. Been over a month and hasn't gone anywhere.
Greetings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canadaa
It does not even get to 72F at night where I live. Do you have any tips for people living in apt complexes where they spray the grass?
That's great information. Thanks ♥️
These are great tips, but unfortunetly I can't take Rosie in our yard, because we treat it. :( I sometimes take her on our patio to get some fresh air, but I can't put her in the yard. Also our neighbors have at least 15 cats living outside.(They're barn cats, we live in the middle of nowhere.) The cats aren't rabbit friendly by any means. In fact one time a cat was trying to get Rosie when I brought her out and I kept shooing it away, and eventually my dog Jenny came in and chased it off. :)
Hi. Where did you get those fun boxes? My brother has a bunny and is too afraid to let the bunny out in his back yard. It is a very small backyard and is fenced! He lives near Dallas Tx. and thinks an owl or some bird may grab it. He has wild rabbits that come in and out of his back yard also. I wish he would let his bunny get more exercise instead of being in his medium size cage. I would love to buy those boxes and give them to my brother so his bunny can get out of his cage and play indoors. Thanks for the video.
Ur buns are soooo adorable.
Lol I love Rocky outside! He takes giant leaps to get everywhere he goes and does these crazy Leprechaun binkies that always have me laughing!!!
Oh thanks heehee :) Bugs are definitely a concern - did you read the blogs I linked in the down bar? They have some good info especially if where you live there are lots of bugs! And if you aren't supposed to have pets it may be best to leave bunny inside! You can still give him fresh air on nice days by opening the window :)
:( My poor bunny has never been outdoors. We have a backyard, but my sister keeps her dog out there and she's a very feisty greyhound-shepherd mix.
What is the cardboard tunnel? Can you get it online?
What are good home made toys?
I wish I could bring my future bunny outside, but my cat is an outdoor cat and she does her "business" everywhere :(
😭😭😭
What about the front yard?
Woah, just noticed that wierd ruff thing on Honey's rear end, above her tail. Is that normal? My rabbits don't have that.
Honey looks like our old rabbit and she was also named Honey
Where can you buy storage grids?
Where did u get the. Maze
Could you do a how to bring your rabbit inside safely? I have 4 outside bunnys so a inside video would be good! Thanks x
What Breed Is Ollie?
Why do you need to give rabbits hay when there's already hay in pellets?
what can baby rabbits eat i have rabbits
Where do you buy the panels? They would be super useful to me because I'm going to free roam my rabbit soon.
Random Stuff walmart or amazon- search storage cubes ❤️
Hi. Is it safe to use a leash? Like on the rabbit?
Yes it is safe to use a leash. You can buy one at almost any pet store. Since my bunny can go threw my fence I use a leash.
thanks so much!
Megan Debakker No problem, glad I could help
Bunnies Rule but obviously you couldnt pull on the leash like a dog to bring them somewhere.... right?
Sarawesome Awezamm Maybe if you like train them to follow you. I just put my rabbit on its leash and let it run around the yard I put on the leash to make sure if he escapes I can grab the leash. Hopefully I could help! :)
Thanks!
*Sigh* my rabbit lives in my bedroom and cant go outdoors he is caged like 10 hours a day and runs about in my room rest of the day when am up he gets caged when am sleeping
Do u worry about backyard fleas? I was told to treat for fleas with organic repellent but I’m not sure if it’s necessary
Great video
I Need Advice!
So my bunny is very special. I have tired everything to make her drink more water because its been really hot outside (i live in california) & she wont drink her water. Lately shes been tossing her water dish & if i wet her veggies even with a tiny bit of water she stil wont eat it.
How can i get her to drink more water???.......
PLZZ REPLY.
My bunny lives outside, somethimes he digs a hole out of his house but he never runs away
I live in a cold area too!
How do you transport the rabbits to and from the house? Mine get terrified when I put them in any sort of carrier. I'd also like to know how you collect them to bring them back in. I end up having to chase them in some way another and I know that's not going to be a positive experience for them.
Is it okay to take a rabbit to a local park(with just grass) in my city, or would that be unsafe since its public and a lot of animals go there?
I wouldn't recommend it as there is the chance of your rabbit escaping and parks are maintained by the city which means they are treated with chemicals, lawn fertilizers etc.
Awww thank you!
Is it okay if my grass outside has weeds and is yellow? Will that be safe for my bunnies?
Unfortunately I live in England :(. At the moment it is 12* ...
Same
I am getting a rabbit soon and won't be able to let it in the backyard so I am hoping I can leash train it but some people say it's a bad idea anyone know what to do?
Flower Happy Rabbits are very happy to live in the house with you, you don't have to bring them outside. ☺️ That being said if you're planning on taking them out on a leash I recommend the harnesses that are more like a mesh vest (I believe superpet makes them). They are more comfortable and spread the support more evenly over the rabbits body. Please do exercise caution if you use them, I had a rabbit panic and while I tried to get him, managed to wiggle out of the harness. 😳
Ok thanks!☺
I f they get worms from being on the ground it looks like a dark patch of rubber the size of the end of your finger....you pull it out immediately or take it to the vet or both!!!!
First of all how do you get a rabbit/bunny found in a backyard (without fences) just asking tho.
Because I live in florida, we really don't have prey birds where we live. there is a lake about 2 minutes away from my house and i did see a falcon there only 3 times. But they come when its warmer. If we use a lawn mower to cut our grass (using gassoline) is it still safe for them?
AlienSnighty I think there s a chance it might leak :/
I really like your videos and I have outside angora rabbits. Could you do a video about what you should do if your rabbits start digging a warren? My rabbits have a very long tunnel but they haven't tried to dig up at all and I don't want to move their pen so they can't access the hole because I think they won't feel safe. The pen doesn't have a top so if they feel threatened they run down and hide.
thank you so much for this video
Hi?!? I have one lop bunny and he is free range permanently. His hutch door is always open so he can go in and out to eat his oats and sleep. I live in Australia so the temperatures get really high. I have 2 water storage tanks with an underneath area. When it gets quite hot he goes down there and is nice and cool. I shove an ice pack down there and some food. It gets to about 42 degrees where I live and he just goes in the shades of the area or the water tank base.the garden is also enclosed. Is he safe outside?
What about snakes?
Hi. If you have a link or more links for those wonderful fun boxes, please let me know I want some of those great boxes. Great advice.
Quick question, do bunnies get fleas ?
Vintage ASMR yes, they can.
Hiya, I have a question. In our garden we don't have any grass, and when I do get a rabbit, I'd really like to take it outdoors sometimes, there is a park near where I live with lots of grass. Could I take him there?
Lily Smith just monitor how much grass they eat and if possible find out if their is chemicals on the grass.
Tons of people have their rabbits free range. I have a friend who's rabbit has her entire apartment to live in. Rabbits are easily litter trained once spayed/neutered and can easily be trained to do lots of things like tricks! For us with the amount of space we have and so many pets it's just not feasible to have them free in the house all the time.
