- Took a little break from the usual education content to show you guys a glimpse of what a typical day looks like for us. I'm currently working on videos about our litter routine, diet, bunny proofing and broken bonds. What video do you guys want to see next?
❤️ 🐰 FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM 🐰 ❤️ / life.with.lops
Turbo is a young male mini lop and Bunmi (Banh Mi) is a female mystery rescue bun from The Rabbit Sanctuary. They live free roam and occasionally snuggle with us, their human slaves.

HI FRIENDS! Please see this recent video where I address their diet and show that they do regularly get fresh greens, dried herbs and other forage ❤

I love how the bunnies are a part of your everyday life! When I was a kid, I hated that my beloved dog and I couldn't have something like that, I'd have to wake up at 6 AM, get ready for school, be at school all day then after would be extra curriculars, homework and getting ready for the next day which became more of an intense cycle as I got older, pushing my baby out of my life as the pressures of college and a career weighed heavily on me. She's 15 now and thanks to the pandemic, I can spend what may be her last 2 or 3 years of life with her every day as I complete my degree online. Our animal companions are so special, I really hope more and more people can spend all day every day with their fur-babies.
Animals really are such a blessing and I'm glad you can be with her in her golden years ❤️
?? Wth
Thank you. Bunnies are so beautiful.
So cute!! What good bunny parents they have!
Honestly i think bunnies are just like cats but vegetarian
You're great rabbit keeper
Very nice
Some people have very politely asked me about why their hay doesn't look green and it's a completely fair question. It makes me happy to know that bunny parents are being diligent with hay quality and I would have the same concern (Some deleted their comments but I still saw the notification).
The main hay Turbo and Bunmi eat is oaten and barley. These are cereal hays and their colouring is a lighter green than typical grass hays or Lucerne/alfalfa (which is a legume hay). I buy my hay in bales and the outside gets bleached so it turns yellow. I keep it to use as bedding in the litterbox but the bunnies still choose to eat it and unless my bunny vet tells me that's bad, I'm not going to stop them from eating the bleached hay as they still eat the greener pieces as well.
If you would like some reassurance, I just posted some stories on my insta of Turbo and Bunmi eating their hay and you can see it's greener than it looks in this video. It also shows how Turbo chooses the yellow ones over the green ones sometimes lol. Bunnies are weird 🤷🏻♀️🐰❤
I was thinking the same thing, I‘ve never seen hay like that.
hi there , your bunnies are so cute.i am wondering if u give them just hay every day, just that i have recently got a bunny and i have been feeding him fruits and veg aswell as pellets. ohhh no i hope i havent doing all wrong.. thanku for for sharing. Sarah frm U.K. 🐰🤗
Hi Sarah :) At least of their diet should be a variety of grass hays as their little bodies need lots of fibre! They can have a small amount of bunny safe leafy greens and fruit is an occasional treat. Pellets are optional but if you are going to feed them, it would be best to feed the ones from Oxbow or Burgess. Feeding cheaper pellets and museli mixes can do more harm than good. Hope that helps x
@@BunsBestLife yes .Thankyou so much for your reply. all the best sarah 😊🐰
@@sarahsu4863, You have been doing everything right if the bunny is 3 months or older you will start introducing them to veggies and fruit, and herbs. I would recommend a cup of veggies and a 1\4 cup of pellets, but if your bunny is younger than 3 months, they need a lot of Alafaya hay and a bowl filled with pellets. I recommend this channel pls watch @LennonTheBunny
Our 2 bunnies are a little bit more courteous with their bed-jumping and tend to only do it when they've lost their patience (we're not morning people) when waiting for breakfast (and morning pettings). If we close the door to our bedroom for the night, we get a bunch of scratching on the door because "Hey, this is our room too!". So if one of us humans goes to bed before the other one and there a still lights on, we only mostly close the door, leaving a little bunny gap. If the gap is too little, our bunnies will push the door all the way open.
Absolutely love this and they have the best life ever. My bunny sleeps in my bed lol.
The style of this video is so relaxing I feel in peace. Great videos
Very cute Bunnies. When they clean their face thats best. Loaf life is best.
Yass i could watch them all day
Beautiful bunnies and they have such a good life! Good job!
Literally the cutest alarm clocks everrr 😩💕💕
best thing to wake up to!
Have you ever thought of giving them greens? That is usually a bunnies breakfast
th-cam.com/video/y6EGJauqnEs/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the same… and their hay looks like straw.
These two are SO SWEET!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 This was such a great video!! Thanks for sharing ☺️☺️
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video ❤🐰
Adorable!
this was so nice and peaceful to watch! i'm hoping the bunnies i get in a few days can settle into a routine with me as well c: i look forward to more videos from you!
Thanks for sharing - they are beautiful.
wonderful video! thank you for sharing
So cute thank you for making these videos.
You are so kind, thank you ❤️
Awww they are so cute!
Rabbits are so cute and soft
Your Bunnies are so cute ❤️
thank you 🐰❤
your litter box set up is so cute but i think a bigger box would be better since it looks quite packed with 2 of them inside. loving your vids, tho the buns look so happy
There so cute!!!!!
thank you 🤭
I love your video and your bunnies so much！！！
Thanks Melinda! ❤🐰
You’re house is do cute, the edit work on the video it’s really good too and the bunnies seem so comfortable and relaxed. Congrats, I’m binge watching all the videos now
aww thank you 🥺🥺🥺
Could you make a video about different types of enrichment activities you give your buns? I love the idea of your digging boxes scattered with pellets.
yess! I will try to get that up for you next month ❤
loved this! I'm still waiting to bond my pair - but my boy used to be completely free roam so seeing your day in a life makes me so excited for when I can finally let both of my bunnies out at the same time haha
It'll be so worth it ❤
Me rn
@@sarahhhx3 hang in there! Ours are fully bonded now. They are inseparable:) goodluck!
@@mariaatraan thanks for the hope n I’m happy to hear that for ur fluffs, best wishes n health 💝✨
you're hot
Busy bunnies
They are so cute 😍
so sweet
also „The Office“ is my fav show too 😁... I think I watched it around 3 times in total
haha yay another office fan! I've lost count of how many times I've watched it, I never get sick of it
So cute
Thank you ❤🐰
I have made a cozy space for my boy in a old closet and i have a gate so i can open and close any time. He really enjoys the space so much that he even hasn't come out from the closet🤔
💗
the bunnys are still cute upside down
Good job on the subs
Cute vid
ok you just reminded me of two things. One I want to give my bunny a cuddle, Two; I want to watch the office tv series again
Turbo looks so much like my bunny it’s crazy
Hehe I have a soft spot for the moo cow looking bunnies. So cute
Lovely video. Could we see a video if what they get up to in the night? They're very beautiful obviously seem happy.
omg cute alarm clocks heehee. also what kind of hay do you use for your buns??
The hay looks like straw
they are adorable :) i'm getting a lop next month and have a question about it. at night, should i let the bunny roam around (with some places off limits) or should i put it back in the play pen i'm going to get it?
I have a Holland lop . Got her February 2021 when she was 1 month old. I suggest that if it’s litter box trained and not chewing on wires, cords ,etc. then definitely let them free roam . It’ll make them happy and less frightful. But if you’re gonna be litter training then wait until they understand to pee/poop in the litter box or else you’re gonna wake up to a mess in the morning.
You can tell they have such a happy life...
I hope they do! Seeing them happy makes me happy.
😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🐇🐇🐇🐇
such a cute video!! where did you get the wooden house structure they look so cute in it!
Hello! thanks 🤭
I made it the other week, I'll do a video about it soon ❤
@@BunsBestLife Wow!! It's so amazing
Hey just wondering what hay you feed them as they look like they love it
They get a few different varieties of oaten hay, some teff hay and burgess timothy hay. Oaten is their favourite :)
omg so cute ! where/how did you set up their litter box house ? 💕
Its home made but I will try film a video for it asap. It'll be my next upload ❤
@@BunsBestLife yes please !!! i am looking to switch up my bun’s litter setup! and i love love your setup!
They are so adorable!❤ How old are they?
are the seed heads Bunmi is eating at 4:13 safe for bunnies to eat? They're in the timothy hay i get and ive been taking it out because i wasnt entirely sure but if they can eat them it would save me a lot of time, thank you and i love your videoss :)
Yep those are fine! Bunnies should be eating all parts of the hay (stems, leaves and seed heads). The only seed heads I know of to be problematic are matured oat hay seeds. Usually, good quality oat hay is harvested before the seed head matures so those ones are fine (Oxbow oat hay does this).
You forgot the vacuuming 3 times a day lol.
we're loving Ur channel. where can we get the health booster mix you use in this vid ?
thank you! the health booster mix is from Chubby Bunny Emporium. They have lots of different mixes to choose from
I'm hungry!
Hi there! We’re did you get your black and white bunny?
they only eat hay and pellets? no greens??
What's the health booster mix? Pretty curious!
hi!! i love your videos, but do you have any tips for when my bun wakes up around 4 and gets super hyper and just doesnt want to lay down and i end up always waking up or staying up worrying if he is about to throw his litter box or make a gigantic mess!! and no matter the amount of exercise or running around he does before bed he still wakes up at that time, any tips!!
HAHAHA awww I wish I had some tips for you. The only things I can think of are desexing (if not desexed yet) and getting him a bunny friend. Turbo started getting really naughty at around 5 months old. I'd wake up to chew lamps, shredded tissue boxes and all sorts of other mess but since getting Bunmi, he's calmed down a lot. I've slept in the living room many nights and all they do is snuggle, groom each other and chew cardboard
What hay do you feed them? I'm sure bunmi and turbo are very healthy but I've heard that dried out/yellow hay or straw is not nutritious for bunnies... Is that just a myth?
Hi, yes you are correct that the yellow stuff lacks nutrition. I feed them Oaten/Barley which already isn't as green as other grass hays (the natural colour is a lighter green). I also buy my hay in bales and the outside of the bale gets bleached but I still keep it to use as bedding. They still eat it though in addition to the greener pieces and my thinking is that even if it's not nutritious, it still gets then chewing and their gut moving? That's just my thinking though, I haven't checked that with a vet, so I'll be sure to ask at my next appointment!
Also, I think my phone camera struggles to capture the green properly so it looks more yellow than in real life.
I'll be doing a diet video soon and hopefully I can show the hay better there. They're still getting fresh, green stuff each feeding time ❤
Hello! I was just wondering how u get to bond well, I have 2 bunny’s one male ones female and my female is rlly scared and skiddish but my male is hyper and is agreesive to other males, there one year apart and we’re looking to get my male bunny fixed so u have any tips ?
My bunnies looks exactly like that! But my parents are negative against free roaming. I live in Sweden and it is normal to have your bunnies outside but also inside. My parents has not done research. The bunnies to live in a large cage but I’ve never seen them binky, do zoomies or flop. That’s just a sign they’re not as happy as they could be. Can anyone help me with arguments about free roaming?
your food looks so yummy
You fed them hay for breakfast, but it should be unlimited. What about green veggies?
May I ask where you got the little house with their litter box from?
Hi Sunnie, I made it (with lots of help haha) 😆
@@BunsBestLife oh wowwww! I wish I had that for my new bunny lol 😂 you did a great job with it!!!
💋🥰😇🍀❤️🙏💯
No salad, veggies or a treat during the day?
Do u feed them veggies
Hi, not regularly as Bunmi has a sensitive tummy. If I'm cooking something that has bunny safe veggies, I'll toss them a tiny bit as a treat. Usually things like dark lettuce leaves, a spinach leaf or 2, parsley, coriander or a bit of carrot
My bunny looked just like the black and white one she died a few months ago she was only two
Do your bunnies ever poop and pee on your couch? My bunny is 2 months and he has this bad habit of pooping and peeing on our bed and couch, which is why we always supervise him which ever room we’re in and when we can’t supervise I.e go out to the store we keep him in his enclosure which is fairly big it takes up half our bedroom. But still I want to be able to let him roam around the house without the fear of him peeing everywhere 🥺🥺
Fixed him yet?
Beautiful and healthy bunnies!!! 😍 Many rabbit owners argue about the correct diet. I gave up on finding what People think rabbits diet should be. Animals are quite wise about their lifestyle and food. If they love to eat something, most likely it's good for them. Of course owners must control the amount and not give too much sweet fruits like apples and peaches bunnies adore. Some vets say greens are good, some say greens are Bad. If your bunny adores parsley and dill, that means it's great for him! In a nature they eat all sorts of veggies they find, fresh veggies have tons of vitamins and minerals for them. 😁 so, trust your bunny!
Do you feed them veggies???
yep they get leafy greens
Give your bunnies a salad everyday!
I noticed you didn't give them any leafy greens and they only eat hay? Kinda worried how that will effect the bunnies because they need leafy greens
I know there's lots of conflicting information about this, whether bunnies really need veggies or not. A lot of the information is also outdated and even rabbit vets have conflicting views about this. I've consulted 3 rabbit vets myself about it because Bunmi has always been really sensitive to greens, even a small amount resulted in tummy upset so their staple diet is a variety of hays and a small amount of pellets. They also get big piles of fresh grass and rabbit safe weeds when I can get that for them.
Bunmi's gut has stabilised over the past 3 months (I wanted to give her gut flora proper time to rebalance and rule out any other issues). I've started giving her treat quantities of various greens to see what she can tolerate which I guess I should have shown in the video.
I follow a few Facebook groups for Australian rabbit owners and have seen many stories from owners claiming their bunnies do better without veggies (better poops and no more gut issues).
Not all bunnies are the same, some might be sensitive to certain foods that others are not. Turbo and Bunmi are an example of this.
I'm not saying that I'll never feed leafy greens to my rabbits, I'm open to giving them what they can tolerate. Just still figuring it out
@@BunsBestLife thanks for replying, I've been studying about rabbits for the past 2 months trying to learn everything I can before getting one and this was really helpful :)
that's great you're doing your research! You're going to make a great bunny parent ❤
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be
destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
- (AMPLIFIED version)
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. Xx
My rabbit is cinnamon colour like your wee one.
Would it be weird to have store bunnies
They fixed? Ours keep peeing on carpets.??
They are so Cute 😘😘😘
Wait you don't give your bunny's veggies!?
they do get greens, just not in this video
@@BunsBestLife yeah I just saw the video that you post on why
Your bunnys look just like mine except mine are jinx and darling its like copy and paste ......
Haha I've seen a few other people with similar looking pairs too and I always have to do a double take because I think it's my pair
don’t you give your bunnies any vegetables?
they do get greens
How does your bunnies not pee or poop on the floor ??
bunnies that have been desexed can be trained much better to use litter boxes
Where are the fresh veggies and green hey?
I've addressed the hay in the pinned comment and these bunnies currently only get veggies as an occasional treat because Bunmis tummy is really sensitive to veggies. They can survive fine without veggies but it's great to have a bit in their diet if they can tolerate it. Bunmi can't.
With veggies I mean fresh organic green 🥗 salad 😌
@@hannakurt yes I'm including leafy salad greens in veggies. I've been giving Bunmi small bits to see what she can tolerate but it's not a core part of their diet at the moment.
When I first got Bunmi, she was having some gut issues so she was put on a hay only diet for a while to help her gut flora rebalance itself.
Things may change in the future but for now, their diet is mostly hay, fresh washed grass (when I can get it) and a very tiny amount of quality pellets.
It may be worth checking out this article from this amazing rescue group where I got Bunmi from www.rabbitsanctuary.com.au/blogs/post/grass-or-greens
Thanks for your reply and feedback. Hopefully your little friend is getting better. We have a another option about this topic here in Germany, but thanks for the link. Take care
Beautiful
Ehm..I´m sorry but...that hay doesn´t look very nutritious! :( It looks like straw! WHat kind of hay is it? :)
Oaten hay, they have greener stuff now but the quality also depends on seasonal availability
@@BunsBestLife good, it should be GREEN! :)
Am sure they keep you busy all day cleaning their pops..🤦♂️
Yes! omg after I uploaded this I realised I didn't show me sweeping up after them but it was just some fluke that day, they weren't being messy. Usually I sweeping every morning and night! 😅
I don't see anything about toilet training in the videos. Where are these animals toileting?
If the bunny is 3 months or older, you will start introducing them to veggies, fruit, and herbs. I would recommend a cup of veggies and a 1\4 cup of pellets, but if your bunny is younger than 3 months, they need a lot of Alafaya hay and a bowl filled with pellets. I recommend this channel pls watch @LennonTheBunny.

Love your channel!!!!!!
Thank you! Yes as a general guide, that's a fine diet but there's isn't a single correct diet that will work for every bunny as there's more factors to consider such as quality and nutrition content 😊
That particular amount you just recommended would be way too rich for my bunnies who get max 1 tablespoon of pellets and leafy greens in treat quantities
And...plz ppl Never lock animals in cages! Bunnies should live freely. People aren't gods to decide who's free and who's not. Especially when bunnies haven't commited any crimes! 😎😂
Your bunnies are awesome however they are house roam not free roam. I'm here to change the narrative ❤
just show us you too cuddling-everyone who wants a bunny just dreams of it's soft fur...
If you going to cage a pet, don't bother getting one. My bunny has the run of the house and he's zero problem at all. Doesn't chew things, always goes to his room and litter box when he needs to go. It really infuriates me when people keep animals in cages.
Your bunnies need fresh herbs and bitter salads only hay is not a healthy diet
th-cam.com/video/cT_V_8SRMv8/w-d-xo.html please see this video which addresses their diet
Where are the veggies 🍃🥒🌶🍌
Bunmi is really sensitive to veggies so they only get veggies in treat amounts
While hay is 80% of their diet, it’s not all they eat and shouldn’t be served as breakfast but at all times. Bunnies need greens and fruits as treats…do better please!
th-cam.com/video/583-ItkF3JI/w-d-xo.html
They get hay at all times. They get it for breakfast as a top up and then they get their greens/forage herbs a few hours later. They also get fruit as occasional treats.

here is their food diary from the other week
Please Don’t Cook in bunny Videos. I thought you gonna Cook the bunnys...😔
All u feed them is hay that’s so bad I have to feed them leafy greens pellets and stuff but all u feed is hay start watching Lennon the bunny on TH-cam
She made a video explaining, I suggest you check it out
