    Rabbits are way smarter than people realize, I heard of one whose dad had a heat attack while napping, his wife thought he was just sleeping and the rabbit kept giving alarm calls and thumping until she realized something was wrong, the rabbit saved his life.

      I had a huge rabbit cage in the house. It had plastic floors, it even had a level my bunny could jump up on. When I was home and could watch him, he was free to run around in the playroom. Sadly he died after having him about 10 years. I got another bunny, one day I left her alone in the playroom while I went out, I forgot I left her out. I came home saw the cage door opened and looked all around for Honey, my bunny, I ran upstairs to see her laying on the carpet on the living room floor, she was breathing very fast and hard, I looked around and saw that brat had broken a beautiful , dark purple colored glass pitcher, an antique from France...see she knew she did bad haha, but never again was she allowed to roam, hop, run free in the house when I was not right there to watch her

    I had a free roam turtle growing up. The little guy was extremely social and loved wandering up to people. He learned how to ask for food (camp in front of the fridge door), he learned how to request a bath (he loved swimming in the tub), he was potty trained (water dish in the bathroom), and he even learned how to come when you call his name.

      I’m so sorry. I remember visiting a friend of my Mother’s who was a Greyhound trainer and I was wandering around the property and walked into a large shed that had cages and cages of rabbits. Being an animal loving child I was also traumatised because I wanted to love and pet them but could feel their fear. It made me feel very sad. It really can be a very cruel world to be born into if you are a sensitive soul. I also had a pet rabbit as an adult named Scamp who I absolutely adored. He was with me for 8 years and was my closest companion. Folks don’t understand how incredibly sensitive, sweet, delightful and innocent they are. And how much joy they can bring to a person’s life.

      @@debrajorgensen2730 Thanks for sharing your own experiences! My father slaughtered rabbits out in the open, in plain view of all five of us kids and the other (some 200 rabbits). We didn’t have a barn. I thought my father was very cold blooded at the time. Within a couple of years, my father sold all the rabbits. Decades later, he revealed to me it was the hardest thing he ever did until he finally couldn’t take it anymore. He said if people had to slaughter their own meat, most would be vegetarians (and he ate very little meat the last twenty years of his life). I’m not a vegetarian because I’m diabetic and that’s an impossibility, but I would be if I could. Rabbits DO have delightful personalities! And often demonstrate remarkable intelligence. Mine are mischievous and playful, both affectionate in their own way. I also have five parrots and I could probably write a few books on just the birds alone (three I’ve owned now for 21 years). Animals are just a different kind of people-uniquely beautiful in their own way. ❤️

      @Gretchen K. that's just not true they're cleaner than cats and naturally go to their litterbox. Sounds like someone didn't take care of making their environment comfortable for a bunny. Mine has been free roamed all her life and she just go to her litterbox and chew on empty cardboard boxes we gave her occasionally. If your bunny is destructive it's because the environment is stressing it and you don't give enough hay (it should be available all the time, and accessible from the litterbox, as they use it while eating). If they eat enough hay their teeth get worn out naturally and they don't feel the need to destroy random things. Never had a bite to my remotes. Consider spaying and neutering your rabbit if you didn't do it, especially female ones, they have 80% chance of death from uterus cancer after reaching 3 years of age, it will greatly calm their hormones and help if you're experiencing territorial peeing in other places than the litterbox. Also if you have a very soft couch or very fluffy carpet I'd recommend forbidding the access to it if they're victim of such pees, and if you ever need to get them replaced consider flat carpet and firmer couch.
      Also I'll take a pebble of what is essentially dirt over a cat misplaced poop anytime, and they don't throw up either. If cats with their claws are allowed to free roam then so should bunnies, because a good environment and good care won't lead to your pet destroying things.

      My first rabbit, Peter, lived for 12 years, but my last rabbit lived only for 5. His name was Kookyshek and he gave himself that name in a hyperdimensional dream I had where he spoke to me in a childlike voice and told me that was his name. He was a magickal friend and I miss the little guy a lot. It's been 12 years since he died and every now and then I think of him. One time I was thinking about him and found a brand new leather jacket someone had thrown out. When I got it home I discovered that it fit me perfectly. In one pocket was a 50 Euro note, and in the other a train ticket to Nurnberg via Schwandorf (abbreviated as SAD) for one adult and one child dated 22.10.2010, the same exact day that Kookyshek died. It was his way of consoling me.

      My bunny used to be outside in a cage then a stray dog came and bit of his toes under the cage 😔 after that we made sure their was a woodboard he could be on to protect his remaining toes. Then he got a friend they hated one another lol because my bunny wanted to be a little more than just friends. His friend escaped and I’m not sure what happened to him our neighbor thinks he got into his truck bed than jumped out when driving. As for my bunny my uncle let him out to Rome the yard I never let him Rome alone myself without a leash I was to afraid he might run away into the forest but any way we had just gotten a new puppy and when she saw my bunny frolicking about he met his untimely end. I was just told he ran away as to not make me resent the new pup.

We had a cage for Bela (where his bed/litter box was) but the door was left open so he could choose whether or not to go in there ... and he WOULD go in there for his quiet time.

I took him to the field behind my house and put him on the grass. He wouldn't leave my side. I nudged him and he hopped off, I was in tears. He came back every year. Yes, it was him.

      I have 16 rabbits that free range my six acres. They never leave. They interact with the family and the farm animals. They are friendly and super smart. They have places they can sleep, yet they choose to dig burrows and just be rabbits. Best choice I ever made was throwing away the cages. This is the first person I’ve seen that free ranges their rabbit as well. It’s awesome!!

      @Wollff85 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      @@GhostSal bunnies usually establish a toilet corner all by themselves. So the usual way I heard people do it, would be to start them off in a cage, or in a caged off area lined with newspaper, sawdust, and straw, so that you can easily clean it up when they establish their toilet somewhere in there. And in that spot you then put the litterbox.
      Chances are that the rabbits themselves will also appreciate to have a small cozy safe space to make themselves at home in the beginning. The big human home owner can spend the time the bunnies spend acclimating, making the zones where they want their bunnies to roam "bunny safe". Bunnies like chewing things, and that can be dangerous to some things, as well as the bunnies. So when you then open their cage up to give them the option to roam more freely a little later, chances are good that the bunnies have already established a toilet and a sleeping space in their "original home area", so that there is no need for any further training.

I grew up with dogs and cats, and the complex and fun-loving personalities of rabbits are incredibly misunderstood and underappreciated. With proper space and attention, they can be the most rewarding little creatures. Just like dogs and cats, rabbits are happiest when roaming free and when made to be a true part of the family, which clearly this owner has done. 💝

I had a parent once that I was terrified of and one that was passing by his cage big cage he touched me and I screamed and he started saying no no no it's okay it's okay and I asked a woman in the kitchen who also owns parrots and she told me he was trying to tell you not to be scared of him. That parrot was abused by my roommates and I adopted him and uncaged him & he was so loving to me.
      So what the dad should do is allow the rabbit to sit on him and not run away because he'll keep chasing him, but he's never going to bite him. When they bite it's because that got between the animal and what they wanted. The rabbit wanted the APPLE he was trying to bite the apple not the mum

He enjoyed the smell of the grass and outside dirt ( earth ) 🌎 my hubby came up with a brilliant idea, to built him a 2 story cage outside. This is where He thrived. !!! His personality came out. Hes fav thing to eat was kale. And he'd love it when i would call him " BUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEYYYYYYYY" with a high pitxhed voice. He was a sucker for sweets! 😂💓He would kiss us chase us. ♡ and i would let him roam free when the days I was off , he was the happiest! And the funniest! he would also do some kick flips!

For me, I have a rabbit and we keep the litter box inside the cage now, the bunny used to be in a cage, which was probably why it couldn’t go to the bathroom anywhere else so it went in the cage, then it just got trained not to go out. It used to go in this one room, so we put a gate around it and you could open it if you had to go in that room, but the bunny couldn’t. I don’t really know how else because that’s just how we did it but I’m sure there’s someone else or a tutorial or something or tips

      @@sooshu5079 maybe instead of throwing their “accidents” away throw it into the litter box. Also if you catch it mid act pick it up cause that’ll teach them it’s a mistake! If it’s going to a specific spot put the litter box there. That’s what I did with my rabbit, but all bunnies are different!

      All of my bunnies have been toilet trained. Fill a litter tray with sawdust and put a little of their pee and poo in it. They get the idea almost immediately because they’re such clean wee animals.

    You are obviously a great mother to all of your fur babies. It's very easy to see the love you and your babies have for each other. ☺️👍👍

      Babies? Mother? Which planet are you from? She is a nutcase, and you are too. Normal people have real babies, human babies.
