      Hungry Clone The thing with getting an animal from a pet store supports them. Haven't you seen the cute little puppies in the pet store? DONT BUY THEM! They come from puppy mills. Puppy mills are horrible places where dogs are in very small cages, unhealthy, and never go outside. The female dogs are usually bred to death. The puppies that are born at puppy mills go to pet stores. When you buy a puppy from a pet store your supporting the puppy mills. if you want to know more about puppy mills you should look them up and one more thing, there was a dog that drank from a RABBIT WATER BOTTLE FOR 7 YEARS! This completely destroyed her jaw! Some nice Samaritan rescued her and she lived another happy 5 years. I hope you don't buy another animal from a pet store again.Please respond

    I made all kinds of mistakes when I got my rabbit when I was a kid. Unfortunately it was pre-internet so we didn't know all the things we were supposed to do. We had an outside hutch with a metal mesh floor. We fed our bun pellets and used a water bottle. In fact we never got our bun neutered nor ever fed him hay in his life. We didn't even know he was a he... it wasn't until much later that I realized the pink pads on his underside meant he was a he. I so wish I could go back in time and raise him like Lennon. He was such a sweet perfect bun and didn't deserve how he was mistreated because of our poor knowledge. I am glad you made a video like this to help new rabbit owners.

    • @saphireboop78
      @saphireboop78 6 лет назад +76

      Trader Dave Same. I really wish I could go back and give my bunny more love than what I did for her. There was internet, just that I was a kid and thought itd be simple to take care of a rabbit. I really wish I couldve searched things and learn more about my rabbit. But the moment I dont have a rabbit, I started to search up so many things I never knew. I really wish to go back in time to retake care of her again. ❤♡

    • @DrDeliciou
      @DrDeliciou 6 лет назад +35

      Saphire Boop I can certainly relate. Yes I was just a kid... and yes we didn't have internet back then... but I still feel guilty for not taking better care of such a wonderful bunny. As kids do... we have all these other interests and concerns that distract us and don't think about if we are providing a happy life for our pets. The thing that made it so bad was when we moved the bunny's hutch got moved WAY WAY far from the house... and he would get forgotten... he was so far separated from the family. If he had been in the house in the basement I would have seen him every day and noticed him paying attention to him giving him the love and affection he so needed and deserved. I wish desperately that I had him back to do everything over again and do it the right way to make him the happiest bunny ever.

      saphire Boop I have tried to make up for it the best I can helping others know how better to make their bunny's lives happier and not make the same mistakes I did. I also have added tributes to my bunny in my books, drawing and writing. I hope to get a bonded pair of buns in the future when I can properly care for them and fulfill that promise to make them the happiest buns possible.

      @saphireboop78 6 лет назад +3

      Trader Dave Wow. Kind of a coincidence, I do that as well, mainly in my drawings and one story I did. And when my friends talk about wanting a rabbit as a pet, I make sure to tell them everything they should do for a rabbit healthy lifestyle. It's really good that you help people incase they might not know how to care for them.

    Heres a tip: If your bunny is not drinking its water try putting a slice of apple or banana in the water for a minute or two, take the treat out of the water and this will make the water taste like a treat and that will make your rabbit more willing to drink water!
    WARNING! Do not do this every time you give your bunny water as that can cause your furbaby to gain un-necessary weight. If your bunny refuses to drink water for even 2 days without the treat trick bring them to the vet as they will know what to do and help you from there. The treat trick is just a temporary thing until you can get your bunny to the vet.

She ended up staying in a wire cage, getting too much food and little water. I felt terrible when I realized how bad of a job we were doing. She’s now living a much better life with someone that can provide her basic needs. ❤️

Lots of people AND EVEN WORSE, PET STORES give so much of the wrong information. I learned very quickly that I didn’t need to spend over $100 on a grand rabbit hutch and that my bunny drank a multitude more water out of a bowl than she did out of that darned water bottle. Even so, I am still constantly learning more and more about my little girl everyday. Thank you and I thank Lennon also for making such a great, short piece of vital info for prospective and current and even past rabbit parents ❤️

      Jordan Singh don’t be, as long as you disinfectant them every 2 weeks or so with and animal safe method (we use glass bottles and put them in boiling water for about 5 minutes or so, than let them cool down for a few minutes) they’ll stay clean, all you have to do is let you rabbit run around freely (under supervision, of course), clean them and than you won’t have to worry about having your rabbit run out of (or tip over) their water if you’re gone. We can’t even use bowls because of how much our rabbits like to hop over stuff, they always knock down ceramic or metal bowls or chew through plastic ones, so we can only use bottles

    When we are home my bunny’s cage is always open for him to leave and run and around freely but some days he happily sits there fully relaxed near the open door and doesn’t want to leave his cage and when you try and get him to leave he hides so actually I think it depends on what your bunny wants as his cage is his home and so his safe place and I don’t force him to leave if he doesn’t want too.

      April’s Rabbit Care considering you haven’t met my bunny or his vet who can’t get over how relaxed he is around people and also how well he is looked after he is most definitely not shy or depressed. Some days he just likes his cage and sometimes he comes and wants to be picked up. Yes believe it or not he likes to be held, Ik this because he bunny purrs, nustles into me and his ears are completely back and relaxed, just like in his cage whenever I am near. If you know your bunny and their moods, like I do, then that’s the key for them to be happy and content, in or out their cage.

    A word of caution. If you let your rabbit run around free MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN'T GET TO ANY ELECTRICAL CORDS. I came home one day to find that my rabbit had chewed into the TV electrical cord and died. That was so stupid of me not to think of that.

      My bunny does not bond with other bunny’s. I adopted her from my aunt last year and she lived alone in a flat. But now she lives in a big outdoor hutch at night and in the day she lives in a large run with a bendy log stick bridge, a large hay rack, kale and other vegetables and I switch her toys every day. I’ve tried bonding her with other bunny’s but she’s very territorial so will not but I spend a lot of time with her in the day but she doesn’t like being touched often she only likes the presence of me. She only has a few pellets in her hutch over night. Should I try bonding her again (she is spayed so she is not as moody as she used to be) 🧡

      Bonding is a slow and methodic practice through which you can get two (or more) rabbits living together peacefully.
      All animals must be fixed for 6 weeks prior to bonding.
      Some animals will never get along. Rabbits are choosy about who they room with
      Bonding can take days to months, so patience and practice is key
      You can absolutely get two rabbits of the same or opposite sex together. You can absolutely have rabbits that are loners and rabbits that like companions; each one is an individual and has its own needs.

    I agree with all of this except for salt licks. The logic, "If you wouldn't eat pure salt, so why would your rabbit?" is silly. It's like saying "If your rabbit would eat hay, why wouldn't you?". We have completely different diets and taste preferences. My horse loves salt licks, he goes crazy for his. Maybe rabbits don't like them (I've never owned one), but I just disagree with the logic.

They weren't in 2010!) I had a wooden hutch and we kept my rabbit outside all year:( I was only 8, but I always think back to how terrible I looked after her.
    When one of our rabbits past away we never got another one for the one we still had. We gave her a diet of just pellets and barely any vegetables. I wish i could go back and give her a better life. I'm now older and I have a hamster. And I've done all my research and he is living his best life haha! I learned from my mistakes.

      Or if the parrot lives in a multipet household, or for nighttime, or if someone’s petsitting or the outside doors are constantly opening, or for a space to destimulate (like if there’s tons of new guests)
      However...a rabbit hutch is too small for anything other than a conure or similarly sized bird, and the bars are waaaayyyy too gappy. So, no. It wouldn’t be useful for bird owners (although the horizontal shape is much nicer than the vertical ones they try selling.) A larger parrot would be hitting its head, could only stetch its wings in one direction, have NO space for perches (perching birds need those to avoid feet injuries, and ones shaped to their feet), and absolutely NO space for their food or toys (even loose toys like wooden dumbbells)
      So...those are just a complete waste for anything other than a guinea pig.
      (Some companies DO sell larger rabbit-specific pens, which is what I plan on investigating. Can’t remember their name, though. But while I’d let a rabbit free range as much as possible, there are still going to be times where I’d have better peace of mind if they were in a comfortable cage-specifically if I’m not there to supervise (like while out of my home or sleeping. I also have a cat. And while cats and rabbits can be friends, it’d still be an adjustment period for both of them)

Plus an actual parrot cage is designed to let you change its food and water without getting bit, and is designed to make it impossible for the bird to flip the bowls over?

While my latest bunny, spot she...well, she is independent to put it lightly and doesn't enjoy being held lol. It is different for sure but I don't force her to be held, she doesn't like it so be it. Every bunny is different which makes everything never rhe same experience when raising one ya know?

    Hi Lorelei and Lennon... I noticed Lennon having problems with slipping at her food bowl at the end. You might want to put a mat in Lennon's eating area so she can sit on it and not slip while she is eating. I think she would really appreciate that.

      @DrDeliciou 6 лет назад +6

      I think in the case of Lennon, she is okay as Lorelei is her bonded mate and spends so much time and gives her so much love and attention. Rabbits that are left alone definitely need another bonded bunny mate, but in the case of rabbits like Lennon, Pipkin (OneMorePlease) or Bini the Bunny they are vital parts of the humans lives and gets tons of love and affection.

      @@DrDeliciou Rabbits don't 'bond' strongly to humans like dogs, say. To be brutally honest, they're not intelligent enough lol They definitely require a partner/friend though, I'm surprised this hasn't been covered on this otherwise amazing channel.

    • @DrDeliciou
      @DrDeliciou 6 лет назад +10

      CEWIIH I definitely disagree with this statement. Rabbits are quite a lot more intelligent than most give them credit for. They can figure out puzzles and challenges that many dogs can't. They can be trained to do all kinds of tricks. In order to survive in the wild they have to memorize complex tunnel systems so they can move around in the dark. I have seen bunnies that are treated like a member of the family and given freedom be VERY closely bonded with their humans. Take a look at Pipkin from OneMorePlease. I have never seen such love and trust of humans by a bunny. He even guards them at night on the bed and comes when called. He is always asking for love and affection... and giving it as well. One reason for this I suspect is that Pipkin like Lennon is not caged but free roam. I would imagine a dog caged all the time would also not have a good bond with humans... the same would be true for rabbits.
      I believe if you treat them with love and respect and treat them as part of the family... making them an integral part of your life... that the bunny will respond in kind and create that bond of love with their humans. Unfortunately too many see bunnies as something you lock up in a cage and only let out every once in awhile.

    thank you so much for making these video's. My parents got me a rabbit at 5 and me or my parents knew nothing about rabbits and kept it in a small cage and my mom got rid of it while I was at school and i didn't know she was going to do it. i feel very bad for the life that the rabbit had but i have been asking for one for a month now and I'm 13. Best of all my parents and I have done LOTS of research and have watched your videos and they have agreed on letting me free roam my rabbit in my room. I am so happy to give my new rabbit the life it deserves

    Oh gosh Lennon was so small!! The salt lick comes from horses I guess, it's used to give them more minerals but try to guess, rabbits are not horses and they get the minerals they need from fresh veggies. Your videos are the best as always, all your info are correct and I could listen your adorable voice forever. :)

      Lory Wolfsong on my farm we use salt licks with rabbits (just tiny chunks that broke off during the shipment to the farm) rabbits can have horse licks because they know or feel when they need minerals, but we also give out bunnies fresh veggies, the lick is just there for when they need it

      They are fine solo as long you give them at least 4 hours of attention per day. A lot like dogs really. If you leave them isolated in a pen all day, another bun is a good idea.
