How old is your rabbit? Comment below?
7! April 2017 😭

My rabbit is a holland lop 2 years old (Ku ro mi).
@@LennonTheBunny
my first and only bunny sasha would be 13 years old this year, but she passed away at 7 because of stomach cancer 💔
earlier in that year, i noticed she wasn’t as active but everything else was healthy! the vet didn’t check her properly and said she’s just getting old.
then in september she suddenly stopped eating and when we took her to the vet, they found she had the cancer. we had to put her down 💔
she was a beautiful bunny 💜💖
Two months old
Wow, 18 years old😳, and he still looks really young, and gorgeous! Very cute☺️
This is amazing. I had a Netherland Dwarf that lived 13 years. I spoiled him intensely and never left town without him, he always stayed with me in hotels. He did not even die of natural causes, it was because of a hairball. Even though I did measures to prevent hairballs. He died after the surgery to remove it. I was devastated. But I am so happy for this bunny and his owner.
Holly, you are an outstanding bunny mama. When bunnies know that they are loved, they stay with us for as long as they can.
Even after they physically go, their spirit stays close because love never dies.
@@H-nx8wr How kind. Thank you so much.
@@H-nx8wr I wish that was true.
@@jipacek What if we are all energy and if the connection is strong enough, our energy returns to those we love even after a lifetime :)
mine was also 13yo! i’m glad to think we were good owners for them ❤️
My last rabbit China lived to 15, I’m trying to ensure that my babies Chico and Luna live as long as possible too! ❤
I knew cats can live to be 20 something, but 18 years old bunny? Incredible, I hope to have that many years with my grumpy man. He's almost 7, I adopted him when he was 10 months and I hope the amount of rabbittude will carry him for at least next 7 years (preferably way more).
Cataracts are quite common in older bunnies and pose NO problem, with one caveat: you MUST not rearrange their living space. I have had blind bunnies, and they can navigate perfectly by scent, touch and remembering where things are.
My goodness, he is such a handsome old man! His fur (that color!), body, and little face look so healthy! Great job bun mom and Doc. What a precious little light. Thank you for sharing him with us!!
Our Lionhead bunnyboi is turning 13 this year!! Not as old as this cutie but we are srill veryy proud of him 😊
You definetely can be
That’s a true Energizer bunny! Thanks for introducing us to Doc and his mom.
Wow almost 18? And yes he most likely won the genetic lottery. Thank you Sarah for doing the interview. This was interesting and crazy to see how well he is doing still.
You are so blessed to have your bunny 17+ years!!! My 2 bunnies died at age 10.
I feel special and privilege now my birthday is November 11th I'll be 56 so Doc and I shared the same birthday. You are a special awesome boy you don't look a day over 2 years old❤❤❤❤❤ happy early birthday Doc🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Same here. I turn 61 on November 11th, and my birth year is the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac 🐇. Go Doc! I’ll be thinking of you and giving my 3 buns an extra treat on our special day!
One of our rescue rabbits a big New Zealand white rabbit lived to age 17. Some breeds of rabbits live longer than others. Most rabbits probably live 5-7 years. Good nutrition; good health and longevity genes; and lots of love; plus being near a great vet helps greatly.
Average bunny lifespan is 10-12 years!
Thank you Sarah for doing that interview, Doc is really special. And thank you Lorelei❤
sry if talk to text spelt your name wrong , not sure. Love your podcast.
This is too cute I cant believe that rabbit can go up to 18 years 😍🐰❤
Doc is done with the cameras and ready for a nap.
😂
Whata😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We are in the UK and My girls just had their 6th birthday last week on 21st August. Beautiful indoor sisters! A colleague is always baffled cause her (outdoor) rabbit never reached two years old.
Doc has out done Henry the eighth with the wives, He’s clearly living his best life and being treated like the prince he is! ❤❤❤ well done bun mum!
Long live the king.
That is so amazing, I am a Guinea pig owner and the longest Guinea that ever lived was 14 and a half years old and there average life span 5 to 7 years
Wow! My longest living piggie was almost 9 and was VERY frail. Of course that WAS about 15 years ago. This gives me hope for the future, as I totally plan to get another gp
Wow that is amazing
Doc likes big BUNS and he cannot lie! 😊
Doc is a cutie may he continue to have many more healthy years ahead.
That is so Amazing. I'd give anything in the whole world so I could spend at least little longer with my two bunnies who are already gone. For only 6 and 5 years they have lived. Two Mini-lops, they were simply the best. She must be the best bunny mom in the whole world. 18 years is unbelievable, wow. Hope he will have many more to come. Such a blessing.
I have a new Zealand white i love her she was a lab rescue think she is about 4 to 5 years old still going strong lives indoors 💙
God Doc and his mom. Wow 18 years is incredible. Here’s to many more Doc. He’s definitely living his best life. ❤🐇
Nice that Doc is living the bunny full life.
Our oldest bunny passed away this year, he was 16 years old to our knowledge. Tofu had the same colours as Doc, but he had a little more fur on his head. Very similar looking and it’s so emotional to see our bunny in the way he looks and acts.
I’m so sorry your bun passed. It sounds like they had a long and wonderful life!
@@CrittersandPals thank you so much 🩷 we actually got him from a child who was giving him away for free. I reached out to her on her online ad to advise the dangers of giving away pets for free, and she was such a lovely person that she changed her ad immediately to charge $50.00 for him. I mentioned that he looked pretty old, she said he’s at least 6 years old. We talked a little more and I found out this was her mother’s friends rabbit who could no longer take care of it. This little girl took him in, and was caring for him the best she could but since she was so young, she made a very mature decision to rehome him. She was able to reach out to her mom’s friend to find out that the little guy was 12 years old!! Whether or not this is accurate, I won’t know, however based on his look and mannerisms, we think it to be correct. We were also told he was neutered which he was, so we do think the age to be mostly correct. Basically when we found out his age was when we decided we wanted to take him in.
We got to spend a wonderful 4 additional years with Tofu, and he was so full of joy every single day that he was with us. ❤️
They didn't specifically go into detail about it, but for anyone wondering:
one of the biggest reasons for spaying/neutering bunnies, y'know aside from avoiding accidental litters, is that bunnies get horrifying reproductive cancers when they're not fixed. And yes, it does affect both male and female bunnies.
So like Bob Barker said - Spay and Neuter Your Pets!
I hope Doc continues to live a wonderful life over there for years to come, just him, his humans, and his big womens. ♥️
18 years old. That is impressive. My Hotot Coney passed away at 13 due to snuffles. She wouldn't give up. We had to put her to sleep because she was uncomfortable and struggled to breathe. It was heartbreaking, I am thankful for the 13 years I had with her. I raised her at 3 weeks old.
Been saving bunnies for 35 years. Always have 2, male & female, spayed & neutered, from local shelter. Indoors in large puppy pen. Lots of love. When one passes I get another right away. Many at shelter. Bond quickly. Groom & cuddle a lot. One bunny, Buster, was around 14. Full grown from shelter, 1-2 years when adopted, stray. Had for 12 years. Small lop. Wonderful creatures. All love bananas, parsley, cilantro, carrots & carrot tops. Love them all.
We do the same. All our new bunnies are emergency shelter adoptions when one passes so the grieving/bonding process is minimal.
My bun is only 4 but knowing there’s a chance she could live that long is amazing🐰💗
that rabbit is adorable !
Doc is so cute! What’s up, Doc? 🐰
I worked with a guy who absolutely adored curvy women! He must be related to Doc.
Love this. My Luna was a rescue and I think she was already 1 when she found me, so she's 3. My daily mantra to her is "10 more years!" But starting to wonder if I should be saying 15. So beautiful to see bunnies loved and cared for so well. Thanks Lorelei ❤
Wonderful Sarah and her magnificent Doc 💕
Doc is such a handsome boy! All the best to him and his seventh wife ❤🐇
Doc you look mahhhhhhhvalous and Sarah, thank you so very much for taking good care of him and your buns❤ Thank you for the interview Ms. L! 🫶🙌🙌💖☮️🐾🐇 I wish Doc and Lennon to have many more HoPpY hApPy healthy years😊
Thanks, Sara, Doc and Lorelei. Great conversation!
Thank you for introducing us to Doc and Sarah! It was great seeing another rabbit that's this ancient and also in mostly great shape. Love love love these super seniors. I have an almost 17 year old, Sydney, and it sounds like Syd and Doc are VERY similar old men personality wise. Gotta laugh at these old buns and their young wives! Like Doc, Syd takes VERY good care of his young wife. They are both completely free roam in the house, although only Duchess takes advantage of the other floors of the house.
I call this period of a rabbit's life "whisky and cigar time". There's no limit on treats whatsoever. Nor are there rules! Syd *used* to be litter trained, but in the past year or so he's slowly lost the desire to use it. He is perfectly capable of chasing his wife into the box, or going to get a favorite food. We're just not doing the potty anymore, I guess, and at this age it's hard to be mad. Every day with them is a gift.
I really do believe it's just a genetic lottery. There is nothing different I've done with Sydney than the other dozen or so buns over my life, and they have all lived between 6 and 12 years. Same diet, same environment, same vet care.
Sarah and Doc, wishing you both as much time together as he wants to hang around happy and healthy.
Lorelei, you and Lennon have been on our minds in this house since your last video! Sending all the love and good vibes in the world from Pennsylvania.
Ty❤
It’s wonderful to know there is a fellow dirty old man old out there 😂 I truly believe Doc is just genetically special. I’m still so proud of him. ❤❤
@@CrittersandPals he definitely is! I know you cherish him. We gotta get our old guys their Hef robes 😂
my bunny died young and unexpectedly almost 3 years ago. I've been so scared to get another bunny out of fear that I would somehow do something wrong and they would die, but this video has given me hope that maybe I can have a bunny one day again :) thank u lorelei for sharing this sweet story
He is adorable. I lost my 14 year old in March and I miss him so much.
LOL, imagine meeting an older gentleman and saying "wow you're doing so well for your age, when I saw you I said he doesn't look a day over 3!" 😂
It's great to see how a bunny can be living such a happy and active lifestyle like age is no issue.
Amazing, 18 years old bunny!
Of course he's very well taken care.
As a rabbit specialist, myself, I'd say carrots should be given as a treat, because it has too much sugar.
Baby bunnies eat alfalfa and adults bunnies ear Thimoty hay. Bunnies diet should be 30% pellets (with no crystallized fruits) and 70% hay.
Currently my rabbit is 5 years old (just turned 5 last month, 10th August)
Doc looks so adorable, I can’t believe his age! 😂
I hope my bunny lives this long ❤❤❤❤about to adopt her tomorrow !!
Congrats, that is awesome. Good luck to you and your new bunny.
@@jipacek thank you for your videos!!! They are extremely helpful ❤️
Incredible!! I hope he lives another 18 years ♥️♥️♥️ He is beautiful!
If only there was a way to make rabbits immortal or live at least as long as humans do.
Yesterday was our rabbit's birthday, they just turned 6 years old. but in reality, they're actually 7. because we bought them when they were already a year old in 2019. So they must've been born in 2018. And they're names are Monk and Colombo. And September 1st is when we got them. so next year when September 1st comes around, everybody wish them a Happy Birthday.
Happy belated birthday!
A precious old boy. I wish him well in his old age
I'm sure every boy bun I've seen has a thing for much larger girl buns - is there something evolutionary behind that?
The first two sisters we took from a rescue had a mum bun that must have been 3-4 times as big as their dad, it's hard to fathom how the logistics even worked for their creation 😅
Every bun owner viewing this now left crossing every finger that their balls of fluff get close to matching Docs lifespan 🤞🙏🐰
Doc is so gorgeous!!! Thank you for your videos. It’s amazing that even though doc and his companions are not litter trained, they still go in one area. Our girl Belle is litter trained but she’s very mischievous and still purposefully sneaks a pee on the couch or likes to pee on or next to my husband (her papa) 🤦🏼♀️. She’s spayed 🤷🏼♀️
That rabbit looks so young! It's hard to think And believe that you're pet is old and won't be with you forever:(
Now that is 1 2:43 18 year old wabbit!
The real playboy bunny
WOW! Bless his little heart. Keep hopping Doc, you still have lots of bunny kisses to give!
That is so crazy!! What a cutie patootie. Good for them 😊❤
God bless all these innocent, and the most gentlest animals with long, healthy, and happy lives! Amen!
This is so cute!! I hope that he will be okay any maybe live up to 20!! Lennon and Lorelei are my favorite RUclipsrs ever
Hi loreire! I recently got a bunny and I hope you like her enclosure and I hope you like her. You made me get a bunny and I’m so happy that I got her!!! 😊😊
Doc is a beautiful rabbit, I hope you get a few more years with him ❤
Whattt, no fricking wayy that is truly amazing! I wish the best of health to Doc for as long as he may live ❤🤗✨.
Wow! How amazing. Both of my rabbits lived until they were 14, but i think the key here is their diets. Pellets are like processed food for humans. bravo to you and Doc!
What a beautiful bunnies ! I hope my rabbit boy lives this long 🙏
I'm going to say that the rabbit is pretty cute
Same
3 minutes ago!!!
Hola Moly! That's such a cute bunny!! I'm a big bunny Lover just like Lorelei
he is so adorable
Wow! I hope my babies look this good as they age. Doc is amazing and I love that you shared his story. ❤
How amazing! May Doc be forever blessed ❤❤❤
At the moment I have one bunny called bun bun and he is eight he used to live with his sister bunny (RIP) and she was 6 they have always lived in a hutch and Have the Full garden to roam round he is well fed and Has no symptoms of a problem in his health
How did it die
I wish both your precious bunnies best wishes 💖
This was such an endearing video loved hearing about Doc and so happy he has a wonderful caring human !
THIS IS LITERALLY MY DREAM GOALS FOR MY TWO BUNS Molly and Embers ❤️ wanting them to live a long, comfortable, fulfilling life 😊❤️❤️
I absolutely ❤ bunnies no matter age, health, breed,ect
That's amazing! My lionhead dwarf is 10 and 1/2 which is older than they're predicted to live (it's usually 8 years) he's definitely in his very last years he's stiff with artritis and falls down occasionally as his back legs don't work too well anymore... but on meds and still a lover bug. As long as he's still happy and eating we'll still keep going
I am glad to see you doing better 🙏🏼
my bunny is 9 months tdy ❤❤
Sarah is so sweet ❤ what a great rabbit mom 👏🏼
Hope the bunny lives more happy & healthy years 💓 Amazing video
This is SO awesome! Rabbits are just going to keep getting older !!, I’m going to be a famous scientist but I’m sure my scientist friends will help me in my dreams and passions!
This is just so amazing & encouraging！I have a pair of bonded bunnies who just celebrated their first birthday. I dread even to think how long they can live. Continue to stay healthy and live many more happy years Doc! ❤️
I love Doc and I hope he hops long more years ❤
My little Netherland Dwarf made it to 14.5 years old. The last 6 months he could only lay on his side but he loved to be picked up and helped to go to the bathroom and cleaned up and groomed. I miss that little guy Whistler.
mine Butter is 14 and completely blind but still living his best life ❤🎉
Bonjour Lorelei et merci de nous avoir fait connaitre l'adorable, si beau et si calme Doc 🙌😊❤🐰👍 ! Presque 18 ans, c'est vraiment un très bel âge pour un lapin 😲🐰👴👍 et, je suis très heureux pour lui, pour sa maman Sarah et pour sa famille qu'il ai atteint cet âge 💓🐰💓 ! Comme l'a dit sa maman Sarah, Doc a certainement tiré les bons numéros a la loterie génétique mais je suis certain que les bons soins, l'attention et l'amour qu'il a reçu, lui ont permis de vivre aussi longtemps 👍🙌❤🐰🙏 ! Je souhaite à Doc, à sa maman, sa famille humaine et à sa compagne de profiter encore de belles et douces années de joie et de bonheur 💖🐰💞🐰👪💖 ! Lorelei, j'espère que votre douce et si adorable Lennon va bien et, je vous souhaite à vous deux aussi de partager encore longtemps de belles et douces années de joie et de bonheur ❤👩💕🐰❤ !
What an adorable baby Doc is. I absolutely love elder buns.
Hi Sarah. Seems like Doc is truly a special Bunny. Would be wonderful if he makes it to his 20th yr. Hope & pray he does 🙏🏼🥰
Good luck with everything, Doc is Great!!!!!!!
My lionhead female bunny loves Stevie Nicks. Everytime I play her songs she comes out and lays next to me
I’m typing this on here for advice, anyone please. I’m in a great deal of tears.
I have 3 bunnies 2 girls and 1 boy. A couple of weeks ago we had to rush them inside due to heat stroke. One of the girls was gasping and panting and drooling along with the boy. She however was swaying her head side to side. We got them regulated we noticed the girl was coughing a lot prior to this but much more now. The other girl was pregnant (accidentally) and lost her babies. The two girls are a bonded pair they cuddled and groomed and played together. I went out there this morning and they were running and playing in there large walk-in pen. I went about my day and it was around 6 pm when my mom rushed in and told me to drop everything because my bunny had died. I rush out there and started chest compressions after looking her over. Her mouth was open and her eyes were no longer blue and red but black. I even tried standing her up to see if she was tranced. Her body was warm and floppy but no life. I held her and balled im balling still as I type this. Her floppy body became stiff as the time passed. I did cut some of her hair for keepsake. Her sister, her best friend was hysterical she was running and freaking out. She was also very aggressive. She is now alone. She and her sister have been together their whole lives. They are literally littermates. They are both only 1 1/2 years old. This bunny, this pet, this family member died so suddenly. Just randomly. She died right before my mom went and checked on them. She wasn’t showing any signs of Illness sense putting her back outside. I didn’t hear any more coughing. I didn’t see any drooling or lethargy, she was perfect. Im so sick to my stomach I miss her so much, she was the sweetest bunny ever. She let me brush her and trim her nails. She was always cuddling with her sister. Which worries me. Will her sister be okay alone? How do I help her cope? I have 2 bunnies that are alone now. Any idea what could have happened? Will my other bunnies drop dead?
Disclaimer before you get onto me and try to educate me about outside bunnies let me share my perspective
I have watched Lennon the bunny for years, I have researched bunnies for years. I had my own ethical guidelines. No outdoor bunnies. No hutches. No breeding. All of it. However we moved to a family members farm. For Christmas I had begged for bunnies but I wasn’t thinking about their lifestyle. My relatives had many many bunnies so my family member I lived with got 2 girl bunnies for me. They lived in a hutch. Turns out we got one who was pregnant and she gave birth and the babies instantly died due to the blizzard. My mom put together a rabbit run 12x12 feet. Couldn’t walk in it though. I was really wanting a holland lop and I found a good deal. Again not thinking about placements I got a boy bunny. He lived in a hutch for a while. Time went on and we decided to post them to sell them. So we did. Then we changed our minds. We buaght a huge walk in pen. As soon as it was set up someone texted us about buying the two girls, so we let them say goodbye to the boy bunny… (dumb) she then got pregnant so it was an accident. The lady that was going to adopt them ghosted us. So we finsihed the pen and let them live in their. I ran out there one day and they had a heatstroke so I brought them in. They stayed in for a week. The bunny girl never had her babies but she did pull a lot of hair and nest. So the heat made her miscarry. They were full term. So her second litter gone. I was going to keep them inside but they were in dog crates so I put them back outside so they can run in their pen. With the heatstroke and upcoming move we decided to repost them to be adopted as indoor pet only bunnies. The girls were supposed to go together and yet they will ever see eachother again.
I know so many bunnies die in the world and you don’t know mine. But I loved her. I loved her so much. I still loved her. Any advice or answers would be appreciated. I can’t stop crying. I wish I knew what was wrong.
She wasn’t even 2 years old yet. She was still a young bunny. I wanted to watch her grow old and be there when she dies. But I didn’t want her life to get cut short. Even tho I wasn’t going to keep her she should have went to live with someone else and her sister and they would have been apart of someone’s family. She would have gotten fresh fruits and veggies and toys. Everything I couldn’t give her.
Congrats on your long life bunny.
This is so rare & special! may he live many more years!! My bun is only 4 atm! (we happen to share the same bday!)
😮18 year old😮 i love lennon❤
My first bunny lived to 13. My current trio are 6, 8, 8 (neutered boy and his 2 ladies) and I hope to have them for many more years.
Lucky little guy. Get him into the record book!
Bunnies are lovely pets.
So cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee 😍 , my both rabbits are 6 years i hope they live like 18 years too
What a lucky bun mum I hope he keeps happily hopping for a long time
Great advice, just pay attention. Here I thought I was obsessed with my bun for watching his every move. No pellets too, looks like all natural diet is the way to go too. Great video lorelei.
Wow! I would have loved to have my buns live to be 18 years old. My last 3 buns lived to be 11 1/2, 11 1/2 and 12 1/2. I miss them so. 😪 I now have 2 buns (mother and son) who are 3 and 4 now. Great video, thanks so much.
absolutely amazing! 🥹💜💖
