I know right! I'm sick of other RUclipsrs saying you cannot keep rabbits outdoors. As long as you know what you're doing, it's a perfect way of living for rabbits.
@Diversity Dolls not necessarily. For starters, every country has its own pet care standards, and in many European countries rabbits are commonly housed outdoors. I know when I spent time in Germany I didn’t meet a single person who keeps rabbits indoors and it’s uncommon to do so. Secondly, some rabbits prefer it. I know my rabbits hate being indoors and they’re only happy outside in their outdoor enclosure. Every single person owns rabbits differently and there is no right way. I feel like people think outdoor rabbits are forgotten or left outside but that is not the case. You can still interact with them a lot but have them live outdoors. It’s perfectly safe if you have a shed or predator proof enclosure and you make sure weather is not a problem.
I've always loved rabbits and due to the housing situation i am in, i cannot keep them. But i love watching you and a few other youtubers care for theirs so i've learned a lot. I've seen more people house their rabbits indoors especially in the US but i do like the setup you have for yours outdoors for them to run around in or a DIY playpen because like you mention they get more stimulation from outdoors than inside. So great video. :)
Hey Erin I was wondering if u could make a Video like this but for Guinea Pigs, as in not Outdoor tips, but habitat/hutch/cage tips. So for example cheap but good hutch ideas and stuff like that, would really help me. Love ur videos, and ur great!
My daughter and I watch your channel for the guinea pig videos but we tend to watch everything because we learn so much. You are a treasure! Thank you, Erin!
I have four rabbits(2 netherland dwarfs himalayanrabbot and and a lionhead) they live in a shed and are happy in there in the summer they are always outside on a nice day love your videos xx
I personally think that’s better to keep rabbits outdoors but its much more expensive, difficult and time consuming to keep healthy rabbits outside. That’s why I always recommend people keep their rabbits inside because the majority of people won’t be motivated to go outside everyday, or invest in the proper set up and research all the precautions that need to be taken.
Yeah i recommend looking for all sides of the argument and see if your rabbit fits in outdoor indoor or both. It also depends on the rabbit and dont be bullied into anything.
I wish I had the space for outdoors, my rabbits are house rabbits. Hawks, Owls and Foxes and cats frequently visit my back yard and I have freezing cold and snowy winters. Thanks for sharing
Hi, i have two Holland lops that lives in their own shed outside. They have multiple shelves and places to sit on, and they have a double cage they can go in and out of. The floor is full of bedding and they have a red lamp to keep them warm. I was wondering if this may be to cold. I live in Norway, so we have lots of snow outside, and their water freezes completely daily. But i am scared to move them inside. I dont want them to become sick because of the temperature differences, cause i have to keep my room pretty warm as i have my dwarf hamster there. What do you think?
They also have a huge garden by the way, they are just not allowed to get out and run because of the snow. It is som much that they would probably «drown».
Connie Coplestone Bristow It has never been a problem tho, and the majority of people in Norway have them outside. They have enough bedding to burrow in, and lots of straw to isolate. They have always been outside, and are absolutely used to it. They have really big winter coats to. I have to get a few more opinons, cause my mom does not want to keep them inside...🙃
@@ssomeoneyouknoww I live in Norway too but will write in english in case someone else wants to read. If you take them inside now you have to keep them in a cooler room for several days so they dont get a heatstroke. I think they should be fine outside if they have about 5°C in their house, and you put a water bowl under the heat lamp so it doesnt freeze.

Hey erin loved this video and I have a rabbit who has lived outside for 10 years now (basically his whole life) and he’s never had any problems but this video was great for some more tips on it
I just rescued a rabbit dumped into my work's parking lot! I've bred and showed bunnies for years, and just lost my last bunny at 10 years old, 2 months ago, so I almost feel like she was sent to me lol. My rabbits were all fully indoors in 8 panel dog pens. We don't have proper vaccines for rabbits in the US so I don't feel safe even having them outdoors to play a lot of the time. Plus its HOTT here. Gets over 100⁰F :-(. Too spicy for a bunny.
My 4 rabbits live inside its definitely better you don't have to go out in the cold weather and I personally think rabbit should be kept inside I do think that sheds are ok tho Don't go on at me and say it's better outside and they are OK outside my rabbits are 11 and 10 year old ok so I think I no what is best for a rabbit and how to take care of them
rabbit care it’s a little more natural for them to live outside and if you have a garden it’s amazing when they can run around but I kept mine indoors for a while and i think you bond a lot better and you experience them in a different way
@@missyvalentine9931 yes you definitely experience them different and. My rabbits go outside in the summer but they can also can back inside if they what
hiiii i totally agree with all the things that you said because i have 4 rabbits and 3 of them are girls in a big avery with there hutch outside,the mesh is secure and the roof is brilliant and foxes have come into my garden and tried to get in my my rabbits have on part of concrete and one part stoles with concreate underneath so the fox can dig in,they do like to snuggle together in there hutch in this water (snowing) they also use there stones as like a litter part so i clean that every day. i also have a boy rabbit on his own which i adopted on his own,i put him in a shed in a hutch for 2 days and he went CRAZY and he started biting and being really angry so me and my older brother decided to put him outside and he was living life !! when he was outside so as u said i totally agree with putting them outside. i also have guinea pig in a shed in a hutch where its warm and they are loving the warmth and love it in there! thank you for some edvice erin i really appreciate it! LY!
My guinea pig died 3 days ago. She is only 2 years old. How can I feel better from it. I am really sad and I feel like my other guinea pigs are gonna die,too. So I check them like 10 minutes frequently. I can’t focus on anything now but just worrying about everything and miss my old guinea pig, what can I do to deal with it.
I’m beyond happy you’ve made this video, there’s so much negativity towards keeping rabbits outdoors in this community and I believe that we really needed a more positive outlook towards it. I’ve been looking into getting rabbits for months now (however I’m still trying to persuade my mum but I’m getting there) and I’m only aloud to keep them outside, so I really needed this. And just to say, eventhough yes I do still live with my parents, I’m 14, I do my research constantly. I’ve been obsessed with animals my whole life however my mum isn’t a fan, she let me get gerbils, which I love so much, but they’re just not the same :(
personally, I don’t think it’s safe but it’s a very controversy of a topic. I believe rabbits should be housed in side but of course it’s my opinion. Please don’t say that it’s a very happy life for them and if you can do it , because almost all the rabbit RUclipsrs say it’s not. Just maybe say it’s your opinion and not exactly the wrong or right answer. Of course your entitled for your own opinion;)
My phone is messing up so i don't know if i replied to the right comment- Ik my rabbit is happy. Just saying. He loves it outside. But i don't think people who have inside rabbits are horrible because i have had inside rabbits before, i do think all rabbits should have outisde time to eat grass and run in the sun. But if you think about it...... Everyone is just trying to do whats best for rabbits.
Happy hipster Hammy Erin talked about how to keep them safe. It IS a happy life. Regardless of being inside or outside, as long as your rabbits have an appropriately sized enclosure and proper enrichment, they will be happy.
Luna Lizzy Really? I've read that it's very unusual for a cat to hunt anything much bigger than a mouse. They must have been babies, or your cat is huge lol😹 My cats have always been a bit scared of my rabbits, but they love the guinea pigs! They treat them like kittens, and the guinea pigs also love the cats. One of my cats even used to gently play with my pet rats and mice. She's a very sweet and loving cat.😺
HEY ERIN!!! Great video as usual, very informative. YOU HAVE ALMOST MADE IT TO 100K!!! My poor little 2 and a half year old russian dwarf hamster (Kiwi) sadly passed away recently. Ive had 3 hamsters so far and believe i am quite experienced with them and want to go further. Were Pea and Pod good robo hamsters? I dont know whether to get 2 robo hamsters because ive heard that they are not so "cuddly". Are they cuddly? I still want to get them! Thanks Erin if you reply. Or anyone else who has/ have had robo hamsters. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
U don't think u did this video correctly u should have siad they shouldn't live in a hutch and only a shed I think that it's better outside but not in a small hutch
Finally a great video, that has true fact about outdoors rabbits! This was definitely needed in the community and very well done
Thanks so much Evie💙

Don't your cat and dog ever go after the rabbits? My cat was a real hunter so I never let my rabbit run free when I wasn't around.

ITs not safe watch lennon the bunny
It is not safe. Outdoor predators will have a field day, as these are simply prey. They don’t even fight back in all the live skinning videos.
