bananas haha if she doesn’t like one of her toys I rub a little bit of banana on it and she loves it! That’s a life hack I came up with and it works on any toy for me💗💗
My rabbit Opal had a crazy sweet tooth. Her favorite food was apple - hands down. She would go bonkers for just a little sliver. It was honestly a struggle to get her to eat enough hay - she always wanted goodies. She lived 9 years though. Shout out to Opal, master of sass.
Hey! My brother owns 2 rabbits that I’m attached to. Watching your videos help me care for them! Appreciate the vids, and wish you and Lennon a good day! 🫶🏽🤍
I'm not a big fan of the 'top ten' format, but it's really nice seeing people like you who actually know/do their research and care for animals make helpful videos like this that educate people who honestly don't know better. I hope this video reaches a wider demographic (It probably will knowing youtube's algorithm)
i just adopted my new baby bunny and because of you my sweet little bun already used her litter box today and she is already flopping over on her side because i watched almost all your videos so my new baby bun is very happy thank you so much lorelei and lennon!! ❤️❤️❤️
This video was a great reminder of things they can't eat, so thank you for making it. I didn't know that they couldn't have yogurt drops! I had given mine some before(this was a while ago) and thankfully they are alright.
Hello Lennon mama. Many years ago I had a little dwarf bunny boy (along with two other buns). My little dwarfie quit eating and of course I was worried sick - because he weighed a mere 2.5 lbs. So - I'm writing to you to share what I discovered. At one time I was lactose intolerant and learned that black Aussie licorice aids digestion. When my bunny quit eating - I was brainstorming big-time. I thought if licorice works for me - then maybe Anise Herb will work for my bunny if his problem is a gut issue. I went to the nearest grocery produce section and picked out the best Anise bulb. I went home and rinsed and clipped off several of the fern-like stalks and placed them in front of him and YES - he started eating. AND my other two bunnies wanted some. So . . . . if any bunny out there has a tummy issue - take note. Even for integrating into their regular greens - it will be much appreciated by your furry friends. 💝 P.S. Thank you for what you do Loralei.
@@JoJo-vz5uyI'm not understanding... where did she state she fed him garbage food? Yes, definitely call your vet before and get the A-OK but the important factor here is that her buns are healthy now!... and to not be a penis. : ) have a beautiful day.
FYI - Because ANISE is fragrant - smells like licorice and is used to make authentic licorice. It is a HERB and can be purchased in the produce department.
Hii! Lorelei note: sorry if I spelt your name wrong. I just wanted to say thank for sharing your education so buns can have a better life! You have changed the way I care for my two rabbits permanently so thank you!
At this point I think Lorelei is the one helping and taking AMAZING care of our rabbit 🤣🤣. And also thank you Lorelei and Lennon for being such good examples. My bunny would just stare at me roll around next to me every time I eat fruits around, but it’s SO CUTE 🥰
Me: Luna come! My bunny: completely ignores me. Me:brings out a BANANA! My bunny:nose perks up. Me: smiles! My bunny: runs at me like she has never eaten anything in her spoiled life !!! 😂😂🤣❤️❤️❤️
Elvira’s favorite treat is a banana slice and Latte’s favorite treat are blueberries. ❤️ but my boyfriend and I keep an assortment of treat options for our buns so they don’t get bored 😊
I love how you say "this should be a no brainer" for the alcohol. In my opinion, same goes for meat, eggs, yogurt, coffee, chocolate, etc... for me it's kinda obvious I don't give those to my bunny xD I didn't know for the icebrrg salad though. So thank you for this very informative video (as always) 👏
My baby Max loves banana 🍌, he goes crazy for it, he’s 4 months old a Dutch/dwarf mix. Up until recently he was eating spinach and spring Mix however there was too much calcium in his bowels. So I took him to the vet and they gave me a whole list for him so he doesn’t get bladder sludge, kidney stones and urinary tract infections. So now he’s on a kale, parsley and cilantro diet and he’s been doing so much better!!! My sweet baby boy 🥰.
Please stop giving your bun kale. There is a debate about if it’s good for them. Parsley is also supposed to be in small quantities. My bunnies eat dandelion greens with a couple of sprigs of Italian parsley for breakfast and romaine lettuce (2 leaves each) for dinner. I also only give them organic veggies and fruit. My little one had a seizure from eating conventional celery so I never gave either of them any fresh stuff that’s not organic. My bunnies LOVE organic dehydrated blueberries and bananas. I only give them 2 berries every other day and a small slice of organic banana before their breakfast.
This video was a life saver! My mom buys these carrot-flavored yogurt treats labeled as rabbit treats at the store, and my bun loves them but we had no idea he wasn't supposed to be eating them. Thanks to you we will no longer be feeding him these yogurt treats! I will try giving him strawberry or banana instead!
Filbert goes crazy for blueberries and Marshal adores sage. Luckily my friend grows them in her backyard so during the summer months I get to collect, then dry them out for the winter supply.
Some of these items seem obvious. But then again I've seen some bunny owners make questionable choices when it comes to caring for their pets. Especially all over the internet. 🤦🏻♀️ Research is free. Thank you Lorelei for the educational content! Your channel and HowCast were so helpful to me years ago ❤️ my bunnies have been in my life 5 years now
Our bunny’s favorite treat was Craisins. She’d be standing up and pulling on the bowl before I could set it down. She also loved fresh dandelions (both the leaves and flowers) and fresh clover. Where we live it is easy to find these plants in the summer. I always washed them well to be sure they had no lawn care chemicals on them. She was a Netherland Dwarf and is no longer with us, but she lived 13 years and made only one trip to the vet and that was to be spayed.
We bought 'Naturals Nibble 'n' Gnaw Stacker for Small Animals 100g' with eggs and peanuts from Pets at Home in the UK who also sell Vitakraft yoghurt drops, I told them eggs are harmful for rabbits and they did not comment except to say the packet says it is for rabbits! I've emailed them about it previously and they have refused to comment! So glad people like you are raising awareness about such things
Must admit, a couple of years ago at Christmas I'd stepped into the kitchen and returned a brief moment later and... to my amazement, caught one of my youngsters up on the arm of my armchair, with his head stuffed happily into my half full cup of white tea... with brandy ! I did wait a couple of amazed seconds, totally astounded, before apprehending him, just to confirm in my mind that he was actually drinking the stuff, and not just sniffing. But yep, he was hacking into it !! Having hauled him away and down onto the floor, within a very short time the alcohol took effect. He was like one of those little rubber bouncy balls, a total nitrus-oxide powered bunny rabbit, totally out of control, backwards and forwards along the entire length of the room, over and over. The other buns scattered, panicking and in a state of bewilderment as the little guy went completely bonkers. Five minutes later he just stopped, laid down on the spot and fell asleep, and slept, and slept, and slept. Bunnies and brandy are not a good mix.
P.s your channel literally improved my bunny’s life tenfold. She used to live in a pet store cage with a water bottle (EW!!!) and now she is almost free roam(we have cats) with a water bowl, big litter box and fresh greens everyday. She had incredible improved in her happiness and health, it was because I watched your vids that showed Up in my recommended. Forever thankful for you guys. 💗
My rabbit almost went in GI-stasis. Thanks to watching your video's prior and other information I found online he was on the right diet and I comb him often. It still happened...luckily I know my rabbit and I was able to recognize the symptoms. He had an upset tummy for max 4 hours as I was hoping it would pass but it didn't...I then called a vet and she was like it's only an emergency when he doesn't eat for 24 hours. I was like no no no I'm coming in haha. It was after opening hours so I did have to pay more and whatever it was worth not worrying. The vet gave him some shot of medicine and when I got home I had to try to give him some pureed veggies with a syringe. He was a good bun bun and licked the veggies of my vinger so I didn't have to force food on him. All ended well but it was sooooo scary.
Wow, time to get a different vet! If your rabbit hasn't eaten for 24 HOURS then probably at least 6 of those hours are because it's dead... Our girl stopped eating (after her veggies, but she didn't want her pellets) in the evening and we called when she still didn't want her pellets after 2 hours. The emergency vet (not our own) said "yeah if you really want to you can come in but you could also just come by tomorrow if she still doesn't eat in the morning". Uuuhm, no thank you, we are already on our way and she will have a full checkup and meds tonight tyvm.
@@josefigueroa3930 She's fine! She got her medicine and was fighting us over it the next day already (which is a good sign because she won't do anything she doesn't want to do haha). She's almost 2!
Whew...So glad I clicked on this video. I recently adopted a abandoned, young rabbit. The first night and day in a hotel room I scored a head of lettuce which he/she ate all of. And a small bunch of broccoli. ( The favorite) I cringed when you said iceberg. Well, now I know. No ill effects. I learned a bunch from this video. Thanks.❤
Did you hear that people? “A **SMALL SLICE** OF FRUIT”… NOT half a banana, or a whole carrot, or a bowl of berries!!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE AND STOP KILLING YOUR RABBITS WITH ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF SUGARED FOODS!! Educate yourselves for goodness sakes!! Thank you, Lennon for an excellent video!
I have two Holland Lops, Louis and Bella. Their favorite is banana of course, but only a couple times a week. They seem to love cilantro, parsley and basil. They also eat arugula and lettuces besides iceberg. Occasionally have given them kale and Bok Choy as well, but they don’t seem to like it much. Certain times of year, I pick all the dandelion leaves from my Dad’s acreage and they like those leaves too. I also use OXO salad spinner to wash everything before I give it to them. It adds hydration and I like to think they like it cool, crisp, wet and clean.
All three of our bunnies have the same favorite food - TREATS!!!! But we do only give them in very limited quantities and take their weight into consideration. Love Lennon, you and your videos!!!!
I have two little bunnies! Pennys favorite food is blueberries! And boogie loves his spring mix lettuce! 💕 We love you! Thank you for all that you do! I love to see others advocating for bunnies and their rights! 🌈
Please consider switching to plain romaine lettuce Or butter leaf lettuce. Spring mix is loaded with spinach and kale and both are high in oxalic acid. It’s not good for them
My rabbit's favorite food is brussel sprouts. She adores them and will eat them first whenever I give her them. Though I moderate how much she can have because I know giving them too often can hurt her.
@@chickpeaandsweetpea9064 That's awesome! Just remember to give them in moderation though, seeing as Brussel sprouts can cause issues to your rabbit. While some rabbits can digest brussels sprouts without difficulty, a smaller portion will experience bloating and gas. Because rabbits have difficulty passing gas, these disturbances can lead to harmful or fatal consequences if left unchecked. So unless you're certain that Brussel sprouts don't cause your rabbits any issues, then please only give them sparingly. But you probably already knew that ^_^'
Nice! Mr. Bunny loves grapes, blue berry and dandelion flowers. Make sure weeds the bunny eats are not from gardens that have pesticides, weed killers or strong fertilizers used on them. He also likes rose flowers, but again know the source as many roses are grown with lots of pesticides. I get roses from my neighbor who grows roses organically. Love your RUclips movies! Thank You!
My rabbit goes absolutely insane for tomatoes and cantaloupe when he gets them for treats! But he gets plenty of excitement from fresh hay too which is so nice
I don’t personally have a bun but i go to a farm with buns (dont worry, they are NOT for meat or anything) and their favourite foods that ive tried are banana & dandelion leaves. I have not tried anything else but most of them (there’s almost ten) love these. I might try apple soon.
Buddy Bunny loves KALE. We add it to a lettuce mix along with radicchio. Sometimes he’ll dig through his salad and surgically eat all of the Kale. And sometimes I’ll just feed him a pile as a treat. He also likes the pellet Rabbit food we get from the pet store where we bought him. He turns his nose up at other pellet foods, though. And he always has fresh hay, of course. Sadly, he shows no interest in bananas. We’ve had him since 12/2019, and this channel helps him live his best Bunny Life.
There a company called Sherwood that makes the BEST pellets! My buns love it! Be careful giving your bun kale. There’s a debate if it’s good for the Also lettuce mix has a lot of spinach and spinach isn’t good for rabbits. It’s high I. Oxalic acid.
He loves banana, strawberries and blueberries. He doesn’t like raspberries anymore. Charlie’s vet, the one who sterilized him gave us the lowdown on pet food store yogurt drops and bunny cookies. Absolute Nono. OTOH my little Westie mix Bubbie loves to raid his Oxbow bunny kibbles!
Thank you for the video!! I love the saying if you question it, don't do it! My bunny loves dried Pineapple and spinach 😋! I've had him for more than a year....and at first it was tricky to get the right amounts of greens, but after testings and trying we finally managed to get his perfect balance! Thank you!
My bunny’s favorite food is dried banana! Also, I recently bought a growing grass set for our rabbit (it’s specifically intended for bunnies, but so are yogurt drops, so I guess we can’t be sure). I haven’t grown it yet but I was wondering if it qualified as something a rabbit could safely consume, especially considering that they can’t eat houseplants. Thanks for all your videos, keep up the good work! 🐰 ❤️
Here at one view I love your channel so much and my grandpa is giving me an ex pen right now my bunny is in a dog kennel and she free roams for at least 8 hours a day when I got my bunny I got her at orschelens sadly but she was on a wire bottom cage for a few days then I got her a cage and I feel horrible but she’s now in a dog kennel about it get upgraded to an ex pen and she free roams when I’m home and awake 💗 and I sadly used to give my bunny iceberg lettuce but now she gets mainly romaine🐰remember it’s absolutely unacceptable to not give your bunny proper care when you can and know the correct can but don’t. But it is ok to learn form your mistakes and give them the best care you possibly can💕
One correction as a food chemist. mycotoxins are toxic compunds produced by mold fungi. Not by mushrooms like Champignons. They like to grow on cereals which is why farmers have to use fungicides. However mushrooms still contain many many compounds that bunnys don't need to ingest and that could harm them.
its good to have a channel on youtube that teaches you things that you are doing wrong that the pet store says is ok. I personly am not feeding my rabbit any of these, but for example, those yogurt drops that pet store sells. i appreciate your help so much, you have helped me become a great bunny owner. Also, my bunny's favrite food is apple, he absolutly loves apple. he also loves strawberry very much
I seen a girl on tik tok feed her bunny french fries and when people tried to tell her in a nice respectful way that bunnies cannot eat potatoes and suggesting bunny safe foods she got mad. That irritated me to the core honestly. Some people sadly just don't care how much they're harming their pets.
Burgess Excel Nuggets as his main food (other than timothy hay), Baby Leaf Salad (rocket, spinach, red chard, baby red) with a few raisins in the bowl, he loves those as his treat, tried with strawberries/banana/blueberrys but he had no interest after a sniff lol.
My Buddy's favorite treat is banana (But just a little bit, and maybe once a month, since I worry about the sugar.) Foodwise, he LOVES herbs! We have a nice little herb garden in our backyard, so we make sure he gets a good variety of greens ♥ I'm curious, tho: Are dried fruits ok? I've seen those in treats at the pet shop, but I'm a bit apprehensive about those until I know it's ok...
I remember one time my bunny jumped on the table and had a half size Mars bar it was over night when I was sleeping the next morning when I saw the chocolate bar I went into panic mood called off from work and took him straight yo the vet. Thankfully he was okay and from that day I never had one piece of chocolate in my house. My bunny is helping dieting 😄😁😆😆
Another important caution: Spinach and other greens high in oxalates are also dangerous for bunnies except in very small amounts -- I was sure you were going to mention that.
My daughter is a big fan. She watches your videos almost every day so when she gets a bunny, she’s prepared she subscribe and likes. she is making a list so she can remember.
My rabbit has been sitting by me attentively listening to this video with me! 😆 My rabbit is a voracious hay eater. Timothy hay is her mainstay and she drinks lots of water. She does not get pellets and only a small portion of greens. My vet thought she was a few points over ideal weight so her greens were halved.
Also, could you make a vid either about supplements/care for aging bunnies (including foraging mixes maybe) or a vid about how to fulfill a bunny’s life if it is the only bunny in the house(this could include toys to give them, I’ve been wondering about baby toys because my bunny does not take interest in pet store toys)? These would apply to my rabbit.
One sound my rabbit made was buzzing. Literally it sounded like "buzz, buzz, buzz". When doing my ironing, especially shirts - if a sleeve hung down shw would dance about on her hind legs batting at the sleeve with her forepaws and going "Buzz, buzz, buzz". My husband witnessed this too on a number of occasions. Our vet said she was an extremely friendly rabbit. If she met a new person she would immrediately run up to them and lick their fingers. She was generally quite chatty. We all loved her to bits.
5:15 Tell that to the tiktoker aliceandfern! she filmed her rabbit eating a moldy avocado and blames hate comments on the rabbit no longer being present in videos!!!
I always fed my bunnies on grain, hay, and fresh-cut grass. The grain never bothered them, most rabbits I have had know not to overeat grain. In fact, they seem to know what they should/shouldn't eat, they wouldn't even touch potatoes.
A lot is common sense (or should be) but I still google from a reputable source before feeding my rabbits anything, like herbs fruits and veggies outside of basic leafy greens. It takes 5 seconds and is better to be safe than sorry. Thurberi has a massive sweet tooth, so his favorites are bananas and strawberries. Elowen not so much, she loves savory herbs like thyme and cilantro.
We were free and clear until you said potatoes. Our bun Stitches loves Chilean blue potatoes, especially the skins. Our rabbit vet said they're okay in limited amounts as a treat, as long as the potatoes are ripe, because the skins are high in fiber and a good source of potassium. 🤷♂️
Literally the zoo closest to me fed the bunnies iceberg lettuce. 😠 Can't believe they'd do that! Very nice vid, Lorelei! Love you and your baby Lennon❤️✨
Thanks Lorelei and Lennon ❤️💛🧡💖for reminding all of us of the dangers of foods not fit for Bunnies! It always upsets me so much when I see bunnies still being fed the horrible store bought mixes with sugary, starch filled mulex I think it’s called? I am wondering your take on black shiny sunflower seeds when bunnies are molting? I’ve seen this before and have been told this was good in moderation. Thx so much 😊
Great video. Our ZuZu loves broccoli rabe and strawberries... And bananas. She eats the rabe before and other mixed greens we give her. And she basically inhales those fruits like her life depends on it. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video Lorelei! I'm enjoying this while I'm on lunch break at work haha. My little guy's favorite food is bananas, he will run around my legs, hop and do binkies when he knows it's snack time ^_^
What is your bunny's favorite food? Comment below!
My brothers bunnies love spring mix lettuce. Goes straight for it everytime. Love ya! 🫶🏽🤍

Did you eat it? It would it taste good

I bought some for my mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs (at different times that I had them!) and not ONE would eat them! Smart little guys
no animal products because they can't digest it
Why do these pet food companies make yogurt drogs for herbivores? People will think it's fine.
Most companies don’t care. It’s like dog treats so many out there not good, but they still make them.
Oh my gosh I’ve NEVER given Alice ANY of these! I can’t believe people think some of these is ok. Thank you is making this video
never ever
it is not ok
Potatoes, mushrooms and ice burg lettuce is a bit understandable but after this video we know

Do your homework.
ANISE is a HERB - it is Not junk food
Bunnies are herbaphores. READ UP.
FYI - Because ANISE is fragrant - smells like licorice and is used to make authentic licorice. It is a HERB and can be purchased in the produce department.
1.1kg (2.5lbs) is normal for a dwarf? I've only owned dwarves ranging from 1kg-1.3kg (2.2lbs-2.9lbs)

hey lorelei quick question do you think you could make a video about all the fruits your bunny can eat?
all fruit 😋 no need for a video

Must admit, a couple of years ago at Christmas I'd stepped into the kitchen and returned a brief moment later and... to my amazement, caught one of my youngsters up on the arm of my armchair, with his head stuffed happily into my half full cup of white tea... with brandy !
I did wait a couple of amazed seconds, totally astounded, before apprehending him, just to confirm in my mind that he was actually drinking the stuff, and not just sniffing. But yep, he was hacking into it !!
Having hauled him away and down onto the floor, within a very short time the alcohol took effect.
He was like one of those little rubber bouncy balls, a total nitrus-oxide powered bunny rabbit, totally out of control, backwards and forwards along the entire length of the room, over and over. The other buns scattered, panicking and in a state of bewilderment as the little guy went completely bonkers.
Five minutes later he just stopped, laid down on the spot and fell asleep, and slept, and slept, and slept.
Bunnies and brandy are not a good mix.

He had an upset tummy for max 4 hours as I was hoping it would pass but it didn't...I then called a vet and she was like it's only an emergency when he doesn't eat for 24 hours. I was like no no no I'm coming in haha. It was after opening hours so I did have to pay more and whatever it was worth not worrying. The vet gave him some shot of medicine and when I got home I had to try to give him some pureed veggies with a syringe. He was a good bun bun and licked the veggies of my vinger so I didn't have to force food on him. All ended well but it was sooooo scary.
Hello what made your bunny to go into g i stasis??☹️
@@josefigueroa3930 the vet said that a bunny is a walking digestive system and even the smallest changes in diet can mess up their digestive system
Wow, time to get a different vet! If your rabbit hasn't eaten for 24 HOURS then probably at least 6 of those hours are because it's dead... Our girl stopped eating (after her veggies, but she didn't want her pellets) in the evening and we called when she still didn't want her pellets after 2 hours. The emergency vet (not our own) said "yeah if you really want to you can come in but you could also just come by tomorrow if she still doesn't eat in the morning". Uuuhm, no thank you, we are already on our way and she will have a full checkup and meds tonight tyvm.
@@anneloeswarmelink16 how old is your rabbit? How is she now?
@@josefigueroa3930 She's fine! She got her medicine and was fighting us over it the next day already (which is a good sign because she won't do anything she doesn't want to do haha). She's almost 2!
Whew...So glad I clicked on this video. I recently adopted a abandoned, young rabbit. The first night and day in a hotel room I scored a head of lettuce which he/she ate all of. And a small bunch of broccoli. ( The favorite)
I cringed when you said iceberg. Well, now I know. No ill effects. I learned a bunch from this video. Thanks.❤
This is so useful because I just got two more bunny
Brussel sprouts and radishes are my bunnies favorites
Did you hear that people? “A **SMALL SLICE** OF FRUIT”… NOT half a banana, or a whole carrot, or a bowl of berries!!!!
WAKE UP, PEOPLE AND STOP KILLING YOUR RABBITS WITH ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF SUGARED FOODS!! Educate yourselves for goodness sakes!!
Thank you, Lennon for an excellent video!
I have two Holland Lops, Louis and Bella. Their favorite is banana of course, but only a couple times a week. They seem to love cilantro, parsley and basil. They also eat arugula and lettuces besides iceberg. Occasionally have given them kale and Bok Choy as well, but they don’t seem to like it much. Certain times of year, I pick all the dandelion leaves from my Dad’s acreage and they like those leaves too. I also use OXO salad spinner to wash everything before I give it to them. It adds hydration and I like to think they like it cool, crisp, wet and clean.
27th!
Wow good info for new bunny lovers. Adopt you're next bun guys!!!!
Early!! :) love ur vids
Heyyy
All three of our bunnies have the same favorite food - TREATS!!!! But we do only give them in very limited quantities and take their weight into consideration. Love Lennon, you and your videos!!!!
Thanks a million for upload this video
I have two little bunnies! Pennys favorite food is blueberries! And boogie loves his spring mix lettuce! 💕 We love you! Thank you for all that you do! I love to see others advocating for bunnies and their rights! 🌈
Please consider switching to plain romaine lettuce Or butter leaf lettuce. Spring mix is loaded with spinach and kale and both are high in oxalic acid. It’s not good for them
My rabbit's favorite food is brussel sprouts. She adores them and will eat them first whenever I give her them. Though I moderate how much she can have because I know giving them too often can hurt her.
Omg my rabbits go crazy for Brussel sprouts
@@chickpeaandsweetpea9064 That's awesome! Just remember to give them in moderation though, seeing as Brussel sprouts can cause issues to your rabbit.
While some rabbits can digest brussels sprouts without difficulty, a smaller portion will experience bloating and gas. Because rabbits have difficulty passing gas, these disturbances can lead to harmful or fatal consequences if left unchecked.
So unless you're certain that Brussel sprouts don't cause your rabbits any issues, then please only give them sparingly. But you probably already knew that ^_^'
Thanks soooo much for sharing this - it's soooo important!
Nice! Mr. Bunny loves grapes, blue berry and dandelion flowers.
Make sure weeds the bunny eats are not from gardens that have pesticides, weed killers or strong fertilizers used on them. He also likes rose flowers, but again know the source as many roses are grown with lots of pesticides. I get roses from my neighbor who grows roses organically.
Love your RUclips movies! Thank You!
My bunny's favorite food is dried up fruits! like apples and strawberries!
My rabbit goes absolutely insane for tomatoes and cantaloupe when he gets them for treats! But he gets plenty of excitement from fresh hay too which is so nice
I don’t personally have a bun but i go to a farm with buns (dont worry, they are NOT for meat or anything) and their favourite foods that ive tried are banana & dandelion leaves. I have not tried anything else but most of them (there’s almost ten) love these. I might try apple soon.
Buddy Bunny loves KALE. We add it to a lettuce mix along with radicchio. Sometimes he’ll dig through his salad and surgically eat all of the Kale. And sometimes I’ll just feed him a pile as a treat.
He also likes the pellet Rabbit food we get from the pet store where we bought him. He turns his nose up at other pellet foods, though.
And he always has fresh hay, of course. Sadly, he shows no interest in bananas.
We’ve had him since 12/2019, and this channel helps him live his best Bunny Life.
There a company called Sherwood that makes the BEST pellets! My buns love it! Be careful giving your bun kale. There’s a debate if it’s good for the Also lettuce mix has a lot of spinach and spinach isn’t good for rabbits. It’s high I. Oxalic acid.
He loves banana, strawberries and blueberries. He doesn’t like raspberries anymore. Charlie’s vet, the one who sterilized him gave us the lowdown on pet food store yogurt drops and bunny cookies. Absolute Nono. OTOH my little Westie mix Bubbie loves to raid his Oxbow bunny kibbles!
Take notes evwryone! When i first got my bunny, I kept a note of edible and dangerous foods to check whenever feeding something new until I memorized
You should do a what food brands can my bunny eat? That would be a great video! Love ya!
Thank you for the video!! I love the saying if you question it, don't do it!
My bunny loves dried Pineapple and spinach 😋! I've had him for more than a year....and at first it was tricky to get the right amounts of greens, but after testings and trying we finally managed to get his perfect balance!
Thank you!
Cilantro is her fave food.
My bunny’s favorite food is dried banana! Also, I recently bought a growing grass set for our rabbit (it’s specifically intended for bunnies, but so are yogurt drops, so I guess we can’t be sure). I haven’t grown it yet but I was wondering if it qualified as something a rabbit could safely consume, especially considering that they can’t eat houseplants. Thanks for all your videos, keep up the good work! 🐰 ❤️
Grass is good. In the UK the rspca want you to have grass although it's not needed.
Here at one view I love your channel so much and my grandpa is giving me an ex pen right now my bunny is in a dog kennel and she free roams for at least 8 hours a day when I got my bunny I got her at orschelens sadly but she was on a wire bottom cage for a few days then I got her a cage and I feel horrible but she’s now in a dog kennel about it get upgraded to an ex pen and she free roams when I’m home and awake 💗 and I sadly used to give my bunny iceberg lettuce but now she gets mainly romaine🐰remember it’s absolutely unacceptable to not give your bunny proper care when you can and know the correct can but don’t. But it is ok to learn form your mistakes and give them the best care you possibly can💕
My bun loves romaine lettuce! Plus freeze dried mango and blueberries.
One correction as a food chemist. mycotoxins are toxic compunds produced by mold fungi. Not by mushrooms like Champignons. They like to grow on cereals which is why farmers have to use fungicides.
However mushrooms still contain many many compounds that bunnys don't need to ingest and that could harm them.
Hi, I just want to ask that ,is mint, spinach , coriander are good for rabbits?
its good to have a channel on youtube that teaches you things that you are doing wrong that the pet store says is ok. I personly am not feeding my rabbit any of these, but for example, those yogurt drops that pet store sells. i appreciate your help so much, you have helped me become a great bunny owner.
Also, my bunny's favrite food is apple, he absolutly loves apple. he also loves strawberry very much
Thankyou for this video Lorelei.:)
My bunnies favorite food is banana 🍌
My 4 bunnies and an adult Holland lop (5 altogether) love their pellets the most as well as their hay and dry food
1. Yogurt drops,
2. Grains: bread, pasta, cereal, crackers
3. Iceberg lettuce
4. Chocolate
5. Meat, fish, eggs,dairy
6. Mushrooms
7. Other pet food ( birds, hamsters, cats, etc)
8. Avocado
9. House plants
10. Beans
11. Coffee
12. Onions, garlic, etc
13. Alcohol
14. Potatoes
I seen a girl on tik tok feed her bunny french fries and when people tried to tell her in a nice respectful way that bunnies cannot eat potatoes and suggesting bunny safe foods she got mad. That irritated me to the core honestly. Some people sadly just don't care how much they're harming their pets.
good to know! I’m getting my own bunny soon and I’m so excited
My rabbits name is Poseidon but I call him po and his favorite food is romaine lettuce
The cottontails around here love apples and strawberries.. that’s what I give them..
Burgess Excel Nuggets as his main food (other than timothy hay), Baby Leaf Salad (rocket, spinach, red chard, baby red) with a few raisins in the bowl, he loves those as his treat, tried with strawberries/banana/blueberrys but he had no interest after a sniff lol.
My Buddy's favorite treat is banana (But just a little bit, and maybe once a month, since I worry about the sugar.)
Foodwise, he LOVES herbs! We have a nice little herb garden in our backyard, so we make sure he gets a good variety of greens ♥
I'm curious, tho: Are dried fruits ok? I've seen those in treats at the pet shop, but I'm a bit apprehensive about those until I know it's ok...
I’m 12 and getting my bunny late august. You and sincerely Cinnabon are we’re i get my information your my idol!
I remember one time my bunny jumped on the table and had a half size Mars bar it was over night when I was sleeping the next morning when I saw the chocolate bar I went into panic mood called off from work and took him straight yo the vet. Thankfully he was okay and from that day I never had one piece of chocolate in my house. My bunny is helping dieting 😄😁😆😆
Many people need to watch this
Thankyou for your advice! I didn't know about iceberg letuce and about avocado.
By the winter, I often offer my rabbit many kinds of letuces.
I love your channel so much
favorite everyday food: orange leaves.
favorite treat: locust.
(obviously, I consulted with my local vet if those are healthy for my bunnies)
9:03
could you make a video on this topic " I buy everything lennon touches " this video was eye opening
Another important caution: Spinach and other greens high in oxalates are also dangerous for bunnies except in very small amounts -- I was sure you were going to mention that.
Loralie: "If you have to question it, just don't do it"
Me: Cries in anxiety because I look up everything I feed my bun
This is real helpful thanks for the tips! 👍
My daughter is a big fan. She watches your videos almost every day so when she gets a bunny, she’s prepared she subscribe and likes. she is making a list so she can remember.
Super informative video! Hard to imagine giving rabbits any of the oddball foods/drinks in here, but clearly someone did :(
My rabbit has been sitting by me attentively listening to this video with me! 😆
My rabbit is a voracious hay eater. Timothy hay is her mainstay and she drinks lots of water. She does not get pellets and only a small portion of greens. My vet thought she was a few points over ideal weight so her greens were halved.
Also, could you make a vid either about supplements/care for aging bunnies (including foraging mixes maybe) or a vid about how to fulfill a bunny’s life if it is the only bunny in the house(this could include toys to give them, I’ve been wondering about baby toys because my bunny does not take interest in pet store toys)? These would apply to my rabbit.
My 4 bunnies favourite treat is celery! And thanks to you I’ve learned to cut it into little pieces so that they don’t choke on the strings from it!
One sound my rabbit made was buzzing. Literally it sounded like "buzz, buzz, buzz". When doing my ironing, especially shirts - if a sleeve hung down shw would dance about on her hind legs batting at the sleeve with her forepaws and going "Buzz, buzz, buzz". My husband witnessed this too on a number of occasions. Our vet said she was an extremely friendly rabbit. If she met a new person she would immrediately run up to them and lick their fingers. She was generally quite chatty. We all loved her to bits.
My 2 Bunnies Favorite Food Would Probably Have To Be Either Watermelon Or Apples And Also Thx For The Video
My rabbits favorite food is definitely cilantro! She absolutely loves cilantro and will always it it first out of all the greens I give her 😊
5:15 Tell that to the tiktoker aliceandfern! she filmed her rabbit eating a moldy avocado and blames hate comments on the rabbit no longer being present in videos!!!
Thank you for all your knowledge and sharing it with everyone. You have helped me a great deal I look forward to seeing more from you.
I always fed my bunnies on grain, hay, and fresh-cut grass. The grain never bothered them, most rabbits I have had know not to overeat grain. In fact, they seem to know what they should/shouldn't eat, they wouldn't even touch potatoes.
A lot is common sense (or should be) but I still google from a reputable source before feeding my rabbits anything, like herbs fruits and veggies outside of basic leafy greens. It takes 5 seconds and is better to be safe than sorry.
Thurberi has a massive sweet tooth, so his favorites are bananas and strawberries. Elowen not so much, she loves savory herbs like thyme and cilantro.
We were free and clear until you said potatoes. Our bun Stitches loves Chilean blue potatoes, especially the skins. Our rabbit vet said they're okay in limited amounts as a treat, as long as the potatoes are ripe, because the skins are high in fiber and a good source of potassium. 🤷♂️
Literally the zoo closest to me fed the bunnies iceberg lettuce. 😠 Can't believe they'd do that! Very nice vid, Lorelei! Love you and your baby Lennon❤️✨
Thanks Lorelei and Lennon ❤️💛🧡💖for reminding all of us of the dangers of foods not fit for Bunnies! It always upsets me so much when I see bunnies still being fed the horrible store bought mixes with sugary, starch filled mulex I think it’s called? I am wondering your take on black shiny sunflower seeds when bunnies are molting? I’ve seen this before and have been told this was good in moderation. Thx so much 😊
Great video. Our ZuZu loves broccoli rabe and strawberries... And bananas. She eats the rabe before and other mixed greens we give her. And she basically inhales those fruits like her life depends on it. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video Lorelei! I'm enjoying this while I'm on lunch break at work haha. My little guy's favorite food is bananas, he will run around my legs, hop and do binkies when he knows it's snack time ^_^
lennon the bunny you are so helpful thankyou for everything have a good day every day
My bunny’s favorite food is apple 🍎
