Even the best rabbit owners make mistakes! Your channel has really helped me with my rabbit care and my bunnies wouldn’t have as great of a life as they do now without you and Lennon. Thank you!
You know what the biggest mistake of my bunny mom life has been? Always thinking I've FINALLY bunny proofed.... It's never the case. I've made many mistakes but never repeated any of them as a bunny-mom, EXCEPT that one... Is it my pride?? lol Love you, girl! Lennon's lucky to have a mom like you regardless of the hiccups along the way.
same :’)) my bunny has chewed on soo many wires that also are connected and are on, i’m thankful he is okay. i had a playpen for my bunny when he was a baby and i use it now to block off some wired but he’s pretty smart and movies it
Honestly who hasn't made mistakes a bunny owner. When I first got a rabbit, I was almost in the same boat...but no joke the same very night I got my first bun, we went to a bookstore, and I found a House Rabbit for Dummies book. It probably honestly was what made me fall in love with rabbits though with teaching me house care...not just "rabbit care" But actual House Rabbit care, it had all the veggie lists and gave websites to HRS and vets around the US...It really was my bible at first. But it didn't stop me from everything...including a water bottle at first...Small litter box, not enough run time, bad food quality. (I used to actually get Kaytee....ugh i know...lol) Sadly my first bun passed, But my second and current boy has been lucky enough to help me see my wrongs...I wanted to avoid what i did at first. So, I gave him 24/7 free roam...changed his food brands, he is a bowl bunny and has a large kitty litter box. Its made him spoiled as crap...but he is happy and coming on to 7/8 years now. (and there is wayyy more to that long story of him and his aggressive attitude lol) We have all F-ed things up at some point with our buns, especially when you're a first-time owner. But we learn. We grow...and watching channels like these can be proof of that growth for many owners.
My biggest rabbit care mistake was the fact that I kept my bunny in an outside hutch. ;-; But then I found Lennon the Bunny's channel and everything turned around for my bunny!
Too many use the excuse "everyone makes mistakes" to justify laziness and their bad behaviors; but you are actually humble/teachable and avoid remaking the same mistakes. Also, you letting go of the leash as fast as you did before Lennon got hurt was quick thinking and definetly the right decision there. So glad you found Lennon again.
Thank you Lennon and Lorelei. I just rescued a baby bunny, not from a shelter but from the side of the road. If it weren't for you my amazing bunnies would probably not be healthy and happy. The feeling of finally catching the bunny is amazing. Again, thank you for inspiring us to adopt a rabbit and rescue one.
i take my bunny outside in my backyard everyday when the weather is perfect for him but im there with him ! im watching him and also watching for scary birds and cats .
@@Ashley50144 dont let ur rabbit near cat/dog too!!!!! Once i let my rabbit went out of the house, suddenly there is a stray dog and my rabbit died of heart attack. And my second rabbit survived from cat attack
Not at all times if it’s a dog park or track or area then the rabbit owner shouldn’t be there if it’s somewhere where dogs can go with good recall and well behaved the rabbit should not be there if it’s on streets most dogs are on leads anyway and should be unless obviously service dogs or your dog is extremely well behaved
Lorelie dont beat yourself up. Who dosent make mistakes you are a wonderful person and have the sweetest bunny on earth. You are so amazing with Lennon and give her the best life possible. Thank you Lorelie and Lennon I love you both.
I'm really glad that you made this video because I fell like a lot of people including me compare ourselves to RUclipsrs like you thinking that our rabbits would never have the life that Lennon has but were all learning about our rabbits and how to take care of them. Thank you!
My rabbit was such a baby when he was around. He was a silver marten and his name was Velvet. He was a dwarf rabbit. I kept Velvet in a cage. I knew his cage was too small. I got a bigger one. Later on, when I did know better with Lorelei's knowledge, I did train him to use a litterbox. The first month, I gave him a water dish. Tossed the water bottle out. I actually never bunny proofed my room which he stayed in too. No joke. He knew better. He'd stop chewing as soon he started. I would go outside with him. No harness, no leash. He'd roam around. Obviously without any dogs outside. I'd call his name and say, "Treat" He'd come running back to me and would do his tricks 'up' and 'round'. Miss and the special moments we had. ❤️
This was so important for me to hear! I've had my bunny for almost a year, but because I live with my parents still there's a lot of things I know would be better for my bunny that I'm unable to provide. I do my best, but sometimes when watching videos, I feel really bad that I can't do more. Thank you for sharing your bunny mistakes and being vulnerable with us Lorelei!
I cried in the part when you were telling about the dog attack since an year ago we had set up netting at our windows so that our pet birds can get fresh air and free fly in the room. But the netting was a little loose and one of our bird got out and I had two options - 1) Pull his leg and risk breaking it and 2) Let him go I decided to let him go but unlike you I never found my bird again. Since after that we keep the windows closed. I am so happy that you found Lennon back.
Honestly this touched me because it reminds me of the time where I let my chicken out the house wondering around the grass having a nice walk but then 2 large dogs with no leashes attacked it and sadly passed away. So ever since that day I never let any of my small animals go out in the front yard because I am very afraid to lose my 2 only rabbits.
Thank u for sharing ur stories with us, I can definitely relate to the dog attack incident as my bunny and I went through the same thing and it was the scariest thing ever. It was a similar scenario where I took my bunny to a park and thought everything was okay and safe but in split seconds there was a dog running towards us and kept chasing Leo (my bunny) in the distant until Leo jumped into a lake and started swimming away (I was so surprized rabbits can swim!) and that's when I went into the lake and grabbed him, I am immensely grateful that my baby wasn't injured and he's okay, I don't take him out anymore it's just too scary I don't think I recovered from that yet
My bunny was almost attacked by a dog too. Twice actually once inside someone accidentally let the dog in but she was fast enough. The other time was when we first got her she was outside in a cage and the same dog attacked her cage.
It must have been terrifying I have a bunny and she’s tiny only 9 weeks old and I’ve had her for not even two weeks, she’s my bestie and I named her a name that my mum wanted to call me when I was born and I feel like we are extremely close and I’m very protective of her, if a dog ever went to attack her, I would jump in the middle and get attack for her but I don’t think I’d be able to let her go, I’d be torn between hurting her to save her or letting her go and never to see my baby again I wouldn’t be able to
One time, I was bunny sitting, and I accidentally fed the bun cedar pellets. I've learned so much since then, particularly from your channel. Im a proud Lenny.
Lennon is an absolutely perfect little bunny. She's doing great for a semi-domesticated prey animal living basically her whole life inside the den of a gigantic omnivore with eyes on the front of it's head and an alarming lack of facial hair.
Poor Lennon must have been terrified and in shock but I’m glad she ended up being safe. Yeah I’ve made some mistakes too with my Miranda but bunnies are so forgiving. We all make mistakes…we’re a work in progress. 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
Thank you for being vulnerable about the story with Lennon on your campus. In my opinion rabbits should never be walking around with those harnesses; their skeletons simply aren't made for them, and tugging on it like you would with a dog is just too risky. Bringing domesticated rabbits outdoors is risky. Not to mention, the average house rabbit is probably terrified when they sense even a hint of a predator (dog/cat) around them.
I love that "become an expert in your own bunny" I'm stealing this! Perfect for being a bunny parent being that I've made many mistakes. I will never understand people who do not leash their pets... honestly it's just bad pet owners who think they rule the world
You are an awesome bunny mom! We all make mistakes. The key to success is that we learn from our mistakes and grow upward. You have not only learned from your mistakes, you are reaching hundreds of thousands of bunny parents on how not to make mistakes. You touch so many bunny and human lives! Thank you!
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to open up to us and showing us that you also have made mistakes. Your channel is amazing and its definitly shown that you have learnt so much from Lennon. 😊🐰
Thank you so much for being here and for taking the time to share. My children desperately want a bunny. So, I have them watching all of your vids, and information to make 100% sure that they are truly ready for the responsibility. And your channel is hands their favorite. They're loving the whole "being lennies" deal. LOL! Thank you again & again.
see, my family knows that I watch you and my mom is always like "I love her voice" and I always try to explain to them you helped me with all My Bunny care. I love you and my bunny (Sunny) loves you as well. I am glad Lennon is okay!!
Your channel helps me a lot in gathering very useful information about how to give my bunny the best possible life that she deserves. Now coming to your mistakes, I would say that you've done a lot less mistakes than I did but now I rectified all my mistakes and trying to be the best version of myself to take the best care of my bunny. I always pray to God about your good health & happiness and that you achieve greater heights of success in your life because people like you are extremely extremely rare these days. May God bless you and Lennon both!
the dog story really made me feel for you i could see my bunny jinx in that scenario, we do take her out to fields and parks and obviously have a harness and leash but i can feel for you we all make mistakes lennon will still love you through the bumps
Everyone makes mistakes don’t hate on yourself because you made mistakes because you fixed all of them and now helping thousands of people help there rabbits live a better life Thank you 😊
Omg we have all made those mistakes- the water bottle; the cage; buying a bunny versus adopting one. It’s a learning curve! And bunnies are complex animals, thank you for promoting educational content, I always learn so much from you & Lennon! 💜💜
I used to give my bunny a water bottle too and didn't know she should drink out of a bowl. Now the only time I use a water bottle is when we are traveling and she's in her crate, I put a water bottle on the front of the crate just so she has access to SOME water while we are on the road (until we get to our hotel room). Thanks for sharing your mistakes with us! We've all made them :)
My niece was outside our townhome playing in the grass when she was a baby when a big dog came running towards her. Neither my mom or any of us could react in time, but our cat Kitty we had back then bolted out and ran at that dog before it could reach my niece. She was a hero.
You are a great person for sharing ur mistakes with Lennon who haven’t made a mistake as a bunny owner. I am so sorry that u came close to almost losing her all the lennies anr sending love ❤
Finding Lennon after that terrifying encounter must’ve been the best/overwhelming feeling in the world. I’m crying in bed at 6:00AM thinking about being in that situation with my bun. Proud of you for letting go of the leash, very selfless 🥺🤍
Every pet owner makes mistakes, but watching all your videos I know you love Lennon and would never want or just let anything harmful happen to Lennon. Thank you for all your informational videos they have helped me with my bunny Ace.
Lorelei, thank you so much for sharing your stories of the mistakes you made with Lennon, I cringed when I knew you were about to say you had her in a cage, and you wanted to get rid of her, and the worst was the anxiety I felt through that whole dog story. But I'm glad that not only did you learn from these things, but you share them here, every video, trying to help us, and all the bunnies we might have, not have to go through the same process. I wish I had some bunny mistakes to share, but sadly I don't. Not because I'm perfect but because I don't live in a situation where I can really safely take care for a bunny. And as much as I want to, I'll have to wait until I'm in a situation where I can be a good steward of my bunny. What I do wish I could do, and I don't know if this would be beneficial for the bunnies, or not, but to maybe go to a rescue and just spend some time with their bunnies. Physically I'm not in a position to be able to do much to volunteer, but as I get stronger, maybe that's a possibility.
Of course I don´t know every single animal rescue or shelter, but according to everything I heard from these organisations they´re usually happy about everyone who would do anything for their animals, giving them healthy food or toys or just spending time with their animals. If you really want this, you could look for an animal shelter with rabbits near you and ask if you could give them anything for their animals or just be with their rabbits for a while. I cannot guarantee that they will welcome you, but asking´s for free and being with animals can be one of the most rewarding things in the world. I hope this helps.
I have made a fair number of rabbit mistakes but with every number of mistakes we learn to be better bun moms and pops. Love yourself your doing great. Your bunny loves you be there for them and do your best as their guardian to keep them safe. Love you guys be safe!♥️
Hey!!! most of yall prolly dont care but this means so much to me soooo lemme just share this so ive been watching Lorelei's channel for about 2 years and december of 2021 i decided i was ready to get a bunny !! Her name's Boba! She is the most adorable lil bonbon!!! She does a lil binky ALL THE TIME litterally shes such a happy little bun and its all thanks to ya! lorelei
So glad you found lennon after such a scary incident & thank you for bringing light to the precautions you need to take to make taking your bunnies outside a little safer. In the UK we have very little laws on dogs on leashes, so I don't risk taking my boys out, especially as my dog has been attacked by a loose dog before it was terrifying 😭💖
I have learnt, and I have improved my mistakes, throughout the year (s) of owing a rabbit. I also hope Lennon's doing well, so sorry she (you) had to go through this.
my family and I have had 2 bunnies one named "Softy" and the second named "Lil Guy". Softy died in 2015, we did not feed him enough timothy hay just pellets mostly. I was devastated when he went because he died right before my son and I. Lil Guy we made sure he was fed well with hay. Your channel helped us save him in 2020 because of baby gas drops, as of Jan 2022 he's still with us! Thank you!
My rabbit is not much of a hay eater, so I make sure his pellets contain Timothy hay. Hay might be the best for them, but sometimes you get a bun that’s just not interested for some reason. Look at your pellet ingredients, because some brands don’t contain Timothy at all.
This has nothing to do with the video but... MY MOM JUST TOLD ME I COULD GET A BUNNY BC YOUR VIDEOS TAUGHT ME ENOUGH ABOUT THEM! I love your vids and thank you for teaching stuff about bunny care, I will still be watching your videos for a long time!❤
An owner's love for his or her pet is pure love itself! Dogs and cats cannot speak, but they are carefully nurtured while thinking about what they want and need, and the pets return the love directly to you as much as you love them. Yes, they are family!💖💖💖💖💖💖
I made so many mistakes before I met you on RUclips and learned so much about bunnys and their best care I could give them. And that you made mistake is totally okay. Everyone does mistakes. As long you learned from them and Lennon loves you, you can be very proud of yourself
Never feel bad about your mistakes, thanks to this channel i'm been able to offer a better life to my bunny. She is been a real challenge since her older owners keept her in a cage for 3 years, imagine all the patience I had to have with her. Zero social skills and this channel has been a life saver.
Oh my god, feel so sorry for Lennon!! Dogs really need to be on a leash when in a shared space. Also everyone makes mistakes. . . I did that too when I first got my pets. :) best wishes lennon and lorelei xo
Lorelei! This is one of your best videos. So much transparency and so touching. I've been through almost all your mistakes, too. Because of your channel, then other channels because of you, I can say I've become an extremely good bun mom. BeBe is 5 years old and "living the life" that every bunny should have. Thanks for doing this video. (I did want to cry when you told us about the dog attack.) Please keep up your wonderful work.
Wow! I feel like I’ll learn so much from the video! Yes so true that no one is perfect. Don’t worry about your mistakes Lorelei because in my eyes your are the best bunny influencer to me❤️
I have learned so much watching your videos. You are truly a loving bunny owner. The mistakes you made were not that bad. Your baby is fine and you always put her feelings and well being first. She's so lucky to have you!
Omg, I'm so glad that you and Lennon were ok! It would be m worst nightmare for Guapon to get mauled by a dog. Good thing you let her go and went off on the dog owner he deserved it! I hope you and Lennon have more happy years together and hopefully you will reach one million soon!
Same exact thing happened to me literally the same story my neighbors took their dog outside and thought it would be a good idea to let their dog be outside without a leash. And I lost my bunny because it ran off but then the next morning I saw my bunny under a bush.
You have no idea of how many rabbits' lives you've changed with your videos! I'm from Brazil and thanks to you I'm able to give my bunny the best life he could possible have. I'm so thankful for your honesty because we learn everyday with you! Love you both ❤️❤️
With the dog attack story, that happened to one of my close friends who owns rabbits. They were at some sort of institution (it might have been a college I’m not entirely sure) but their rabbit was on a leash and just hanging out with them when someone decided to let their HUNTING DOG off leash. This dog instantly goes from chill to bolting after their rabbit. Now this rabbit is now on alert and as this dog gets closer you can tell it was zeroed in on the rabbit. I guess it didn’t register with my friend that this dog was coming for their rabbit because then this dog is literally right on top of them and going for the rabbit. As the dog lunged for the rabbit, and being a trained hunting dog it knew what it was doing, my friend chose to let go of the rabbit’s leash and try to get in between the dog and the rabbit. The rabbit so so luckily managed to get away fast enough and the dog took a chunk out of the person’s arm. They ended up in the ER from this dog attack. So yeah, be smart with your rabbits and your dogs.
Nobody is perfect, I think we all have made mistakes as bunny owners. I also bought impulsively my bunny Oreo last year without having the needed knowledge to take good care of him, thankfully after a few days searching about bunnies I found your channel and now his life has completely improved because of all your advices. Thank you for sharing so much with us always
Thank you so much for this video Lorelai and for being so honest! You're such a great bunny mum, and we're so blessed to hear your honest advice! 🥰 I think my biggest mistake was being too excited to bond my rabbits and not supervising them properly - they could have gotten very aggressive, and they were both terrified because I moved too quickly. But I'm so glad they're okay and get along now! ☺
I love this video. You were raw and honest. You showed us that even you are still learning. You also showed us that it’s ok to make mistakes. Thank you.
This reminds me of something that happened to me (and my bunnies), a few weeks after adopting my 2 bunnies a friend of mine came over, and she brought her dog with her (I didn't know she was going to do that), I was caught off guard and since her dog is pretty small I decided to let them in.. which was definitely a terrible mistake on my side, the second my bunnies smelled her dog they freaked out completely, they started to run everywhere and they would even hit themselves against the walls... It was really painful and horrifying to watch Thankfully my bunnies found a spot under my couch and I picked up her dog quickly and took him outside my house They're okay but they did get traumatized, now after a year they still get nervous every time they hear a dog barking, even if it's on the tv :(
The reason why I thought it would be okay to let this dog in was because I had another rabbit in the past, and I once rescued a cat from the street and my (then) rabbit was completely okay with it (the cat was kinda scared of her but she wasn't) so yeah.. I definitely learned the lesson but I wished I had learned it in a different way 🥺
I love you guys so much! You teach me how to give my bunny the best life! Not only our you teaching us but your giving us amazing entertainment and content!
Thanks for bravely sharing your mistakes despite knowing how harshly judgmental the internet is. It's great to see people like you who are an example of how to own up to our past mistakes, and normalizing the fact that nobody is perfect, and mistakes are things that we can and should learn from.
You’re amazing!!!!! We need a million more of you! The cage thing really needs to be preached across the universe. I can not imagine a cage and a rabbit outside. My heart breaks! Do not ever regret when you learn a lesson and spread it everywhere Idk if I could have done so well when the dog attack happened. I’m so happy you have it to the irresponsible owner. Who the hell let’s their dog run around without a leash, unless you’re in a dog park where rabbits are not! I had 3 bunnies and I learned so much every month from them. My 2 had a lot of health issues and $1000’s of vet bills sadly. If I ever get another bunny I’ll know a lot more from my experience and your talks. Btw you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. You don’t seem real! An amazing bunny mom and beautiful. Thank you
My biggest mistake was also getting a bunny without being informed, but thanks to you i learned a lot of new things on how to be a batter owner, thank you again 🙏🏼
I’ve also made a bunch of mistakes with my bunns! I also got my bunny with zero research done. I kept her in a cage, had a water bottle and just the basic mistakes. Luckily after about 3 days I’ve started freeroaming and turning her life around, thanks to all of your amazing videos, I’m forever grateful of you. 💜
I really needed you to make this video becuase I have been beating myself up for all the mistakes I made when I had no idea what I was doing. I seriously needed you to say all this.
Well, this earned a subscription. Thank you for your open honesty... not to mention all the info on bunnies. I just rescued a little lionhead white that someone dumped at the edge of the woods a block from my house three days ago, and have been binge-watching your channel to find out how to take care of her since there was 'no room at the inns' around here for her. Which is no doubt why she found herself alone on the side of the street.
Lorelie is queen of the world 😘 Lennon is the princess of the world ❤ And we Lennies are always Support and love LennonTheBunny all time because it was soooooooooo helpful and informative channel for all Lennies love you so much LennonTheBunny 💜❤😘
I have made so many mistakes with my two cute rabbits. One time me and my dad were going to take them to the park... having them in a pram and bring leashes so they could play on the grass... We arrived at the park, I put there leashes on and gave one to myself and one to my dad to walk. The one my dad was walking started sprinting.... He was enjoying on the grass but my dad couldn't stop him from running.... Dad accidentally let go of him and he sprinted across the enormous oval!!! I was running and calling out for him while holding the other Rabbit.... I was terrified but the rabbit that was running just froze... we quickly grabbed him... I am so lucky that he didn't run away.... I will never forget that day. You go GIRL... you have such a wonderful rabbit and teach everyone the best...Thank you
Love your transparency. We seriously need more people like you. Thank goodness you both are well and alive today. My biggest rabbit mistake is probably not proofing our house for our bunny ZuZu. Especially during the holidays. The Christmas trees. The phone charges. Grief. Scared me when she would bite through then and not get shocked. Thank goodness she used alive and well.
Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes and I think its good to share those mistakes and to have others learn from them. No judgement here, I made a lot of the same mistakes with my bunny as you did with Lennon...and it was this channel that helped me learn and educated me. So keep doing what your doing!x
I've made literally all these mistakes but your channel has helped me become a better rabbit owner. I remember when my bun was a baby I took him into the hallway of the apartment building because the floors were all carpeted. He used to do zoomies up and down this giant hallway before he even weighed 1lb. Anyways, one day I wasn't paying enough attention and someones dog escaped from their apartment, he was totally unleashed. I was sitting with my rabbit when I see a little black ball coming closer and closer. then I heard barking and this dog got so close before I was able to finally scoop up my rabbit and turn away from the dog. This actually traumatized me even though no one got hurt, and I hate to say it but please keep your dogs on a leash because honestly I love dogs but I won't hesitate to kick a dog away if its threatening my baby.
Even the best rabbit owners make mistakes! Your channel has really helped me with my rabbit care and my bunnies wouldn’t have as great of a life as they do now without you and Lennon. Thank you!
YES.
ruclips.net/channel/UC5E9X0BFMGKbA_ILMNtyOBQ
Yes you right
Same
@Jayda the Gracious Gamer Huh?
But, SHE IS THE BEST RABBIT OWNER lol I agree with you
You know what the biggest mistake of my bunny mom life has been? Always thinking I've FINALLY bunny proofed.... It's never the case. I've made many mistakes but never repeated any of them as a bunny-mom, EXCEPT that one... Is it my pride?? lol Love you, girl! Lennon's lucky to have a mom like you regardless of the hiccups along the way.
Same! No matter how much I proof there’s always something chewed at the end of the week.
I think my rabbit is the only rabbit who dosent chew cords xD
My rabbit eats everything lol, I recently made her free roam so she’s chewing on all my stuff
same :’)) my bunny has chewed on soo many wires that also are connected and are on, i’m thankful he is okay. i had a playpen for my bunny when he was a baby and i use it now to block off some wired but he’s pretty smart and movies it
I find it hilarious that I too have thought I've bunnyproofed
Honestly who hasn't made mistakes a bunny owner. When I first got a rabbit, I was almost in the same boat...but no joke the same very night I got my first bun, we went to a bookstore, and I found a House Rabbit for Dummies book. It probably honestly was what made me fall in love with rabbits though with teaching me house care...not just "rabbit care" But actual House Rabbit care, it had all the veggie lists and gave websites to HRS and vets around the US...It really was my bible at first.
But it didn't stop me from everything...including a water bottle at first...Small litter box, not enough run time, bad food quality. (I used to actually get Kaytee....ugh i know...lol) Sadly my first bun passed,
But my second and current boy has been lucky enough to help me see my wrongs...I wanted to avoid what i did at first. So, I gave him 24/7 free roam...changed his food brands, he is a bowl bunny and has a large kitty litter box. Its made him spoiled as crap...but he is happy and coming on to 7/8 years now. (and there is wayyy more to that long story of him and his aggressive attitude lol)
We have all F-ed things up at some point with our buns, especially when you're a first-time owner. But we learn. We grow...and watching channels like these can be proof of that growth for many owners.
My biggest rabbit care mistake was the fact that I kept my bunny in an outside hutch. ;-; But then I found Lennon the Bunny's channel and everything turned around for my bunny!
Is it just me or does her content keep getting better and better
Love a growing queen

Too many use the excuse "everyone makes mistakes" to justify laziness and their bad behaviors; but you are actually humble/teachable and avoid remaking the same mistakes.

Thank you Lennon and Lorelei. I just rescued a baby bunny, not from a shelter but from the side of the road. If it weren't for you my amazing bunnies would probably not be healthy and happy. The feeling of finally catching the bunny is amazing. Again, thank you for inspiring us to adopt a rabbit and rescue one.
i take my bunny outside in my backyard everyday when the weather is perfect for him but im there with him ! im watching him and also watching for scary birds and cats .
I literally do the same thing !
Same

My rabbit was almost attacked by a really big cat, good thing she was hiding where the the cat couldn’t go. Thank you for this video. ❤️
Cats 🐈 especially!!!!!
Oh gosh that’s terrible but my cat is like besties with rabbits
@@Ashley50144 dont let ur rabbit near cat/dog too!!!!! Once i let my rabbit went out of the house, suddenly there is a stray dog and my rabbit died of heart attack. And my second rabbit survived from cat attack
This is why it’s always so important for dog owners to have their dogs on the leash. Even the most well trained dogs still need to be on a leash.
Some not all but Service dogs are the only exception to that
Yes it's also dangerous for the doggo. Anything can scare the pup and they end up getting into danger like it by a car etc.
@@SabiLewSounds yes but some service dog owners need there dog to go get help. they cant do that if on a leash
Not at all times if it’s a dog park or track or area then the rabbit owner shouldn’t be there if it’s somewhere where dogs can go with good recall and well behaved the rabbit should not be there if it’s on streets most dogs are on leads anyway and should be unless obviously service dogs or your dog is extremely well behaved
@@bunwithgun1587 again service dogs go through years of training some up to 3 or 4 years. Some have to be off leash for their safety and the owners
Lorelie dont beat yourself up. Who dosent make mistakes you are a wonderful person and have the sweetest bunny on earth. You are so amazing with Lennon and give her the best life possible. Thank you Lorelie and Lennon I love you both.
I'm really glad that you made this video because I fell like a lot of people including me compare ourselves to RUclipsrs like you thinking that our rabbits would never have the life that Lennon has but were all learning about our rabbits and how to take care of them. Thank you!
can we all just take a moment to appreciate how absolutely gorgeous Lorelei is??
Inside as well as out!
My rabbit was such a baby when he was around. He was a silver marten and his name was Velvet. He was a dwarf rabbit. I kept Velvet in a cage. I knew his cage was too small. I got a bigger one. Later on, when I did know better with Lorelei's knowledge, I did train him to use a litterbox. The first month, I gave him a water dish. Tossed the water bottle out. I actually never bunny proofed my room which he stayed in too. No joke. He knew better. He'd stop chewing as soon he started. I would go outside with him. No harness, no leash. He'd roam around. Obviously without any dogs outside. I'd call his name and say, "Treat" He'd come running back to me and would do his tricks 'up' and 'round'. Miss and the special moments we had. ❤️
Awww I’m sorry
He sounds like a great bunny.
He'll be watching over you. Feel your pain!
Your bunny sounds so sweet
I'm so sorry, he sounds like a great rabbit.
This was so important for me to hear! I've had my bunny for almost a year, but because I live with my parents still there's a lot of things I know would be better for my bunny that I'm unable to provide. I do my best, but sometimes when watching videos, I feel really bad that I can't do more. Thank you for sharing your bunny mistakes and being vulnerable with us Lorelei!
I cried in the part when you were telling about the dog attack since an year ago we had set up netting at our windows so that our pet birds can get fresh air and free fly in the room. But the netting was a little loose and one of our bird got out and I had two options -
1) Pull his leg and risk breaking it and
2) Let him go
I decided to let him go but unlike you I never found my bird again. Since after that we keep the windows closed.
I am so happy that you found Lennon back.
😭😭😭I’m sorry
@@gracenichols5334 It's okay , the accident is of about an year ago.
I appreciate that you're humble enough to admit your own missteps. It makes you more relatable & I want to watch MORE.
Honestly this touched me because it reminds me of the time where I let my chicken out the house wondering around the grass having a nice walk but then 2 large dogs with no leashes attacked it and sadly passed away. So ever since that day I never let any of my small animals go out in the front yard because I am very afraid to lose my 2 only rabbits.
Awww, I'm so sorry. I adore chickens.
I am so sorry this happened to me also unfortunately with our chicken!
@The World Of the JAMslove Animals Thank you, stay safe and take care of your animals ♡
@@rdred8693 I do as well but I made it my last after that moment. Stay safe ♡
I’m so sorry :/
I’m so sorry you guys went through that. Things will get better and Lennon is lucky to have such a great protective bunny mom. 💗😊
I just got a bunny and I’ve been watching you for so long she’s completely free Roam and that all because of you! You’ve taught me so much!
Thank u for sharing ur stories with us, I can definitely relate to the dog attack incident as my bunny and I went through the same thing and it was the scariest thing ever. It was a similar scenario where I took my bunny to a park and thought everything was okay and safe but in split seconds there was a dog running towards us and kept chasing Leo (my bunny) in the distant until Leo jumped into a lake and started swimming away (I was so surprized rabbits can swim!) and that's when I went into the lake and grabbed him, I am immensely grateful that my baby wasn't injured and he's okay, I don't take him out anymore it's just too scary I don't think I recovered from that yet
My bunny was almost attacked by a dog too. Twice actually once inside someone accidentally let the dog in but she was fast enough.
The other time was when we first got her she was outside in a cage and the same dog attacked her cage.
It must have been terrifying I have a bunny and she’s tiny only 9 weeks old and I’ve had her for not even two weeks, she’s my bestie and I named her a name that my mum wanted to call me when I was born and I feel like we are extremely close and I’m very protective of her, if a dog ever went to attack her, I would jump in the middle and get attack for her but I don’t think I’d be able to let her go, I’d be torn between hurting her to save her or letting her go and never to see my baby again I wouldn’t be able to
Same, but my bunny was attacked by the dog, grabbed by the neck, and was tore into pieces.
Still not able to recover from the grave loss
One time, I was bunny sitting, and I accidentally fed the bun cedar pellets. I've learned so much since then, particularly from your channel. Im a proud Lenny.
Lennon is an absolutely perfect little bunny. She's doing great for a semi-domesticated prey animal living basically her whole life inside the den of a gigantic omnivore with eyes on the front of it's head and an alarming lack of facial hair.
Lol
Poor Lennon must have been terrified and in shock but I’m glad she ended up being safe.
Yeah I’ve made some mistakes too with my Miranda but bunnies are so forgiving.
We all make mistakes…we’re a work in progress. 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
Thank you for sharing this with us, Lorelei! I’m so thankful Lennon has such a great mommy. ❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable about the story with Lennon on your campus. In my opinion rabbits should never be walking around with those harnesses; their skeletons simply aren't made for them, and tugging on it like you would with a dog is just too risky. Bringing domesticated rabbits outdoors is risky. Not to mention, the average house rabbit is probably terrified when they sense even a hint of a predator (dog/cat) around them.
agreed! Going on walks with your rabbits should not be hyped this much.
omg THIS! I love that you make yourself vulnerable to your audience. And remember, your imperfections are what make you perfect Lorelei
I love that "become an expert in your own bunny" I'm stealing this! Perfect for being a bunny parent being that I've made many mistakes.
I will never understand people who do not leash their pets... honestly it's just bad pet owners who think they rule the world
You are an awesome bunny mom! We all make mistakes. The key to success is that we learn from our mistakes and grow upward. You have not only learned from your mistakes, you are reaching hundreds of thousands of bunny parents on how not to make mistakes. You touch so many bunny and human lives! Thank you!
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to open up to us and showing us that you also have made mistakes. Your channel is amazing and its definitly shown that you have learnt so much from Lennon. 😊🐰
Very true
Thank you so much for being here and for taking the time to share. My children desperately want a bunny. So, I have them watching all of your vids, and information to make 100% sure that they are truly ready for the responsibility. And your channel is hands their favorite. They're loving the whole "being lennies" deal. LOL! Thank you again & again.
see, my family knows that I watch you and my mom is always like "I love her voice" and I always try to explain to them you helped me with all My Bunny care. I love you and my bunny (Sunny) loves you as well. I am glad Lennon is okay!!
Thanks for being so transparent encouraging us all. It's not about blane, its about knowledge and improvement
Your channel helps me a lot in gathering very useful information about how to give my bunny the best possible life that she deserves. Now coming to your mistakes, I would say that you've done a lot less mistakes than I did but now I rectified all my mistakes and trying to be the best version of myself to take the best care of my bunny. I always pray to God about your good health & happiness and that you achieve greater heights of success in your life because people like you are extremely extremely rare these days. May God bless you and Lennon both!
FYI your the reason I have a bunny I studied on your vids everyday for months and know I have a happy healthy bunny THANK YOU!!!!
I'm glad that you're honest and don't sugar coat it at all. I love your channel and I also hope Lennon's doing better 💗
the dog story really made me feel for you i could see my bunny jinx in that scenario, we do take her out to fields and parks and obviously have a harness and leash but i can feel for you we all make mistakes lennon will still love you through the bumps
Everyone makes mistakes don’t hate on yourself because you made mistakes because you fixed all of them and now helping thousands of people help there rabbits live a better life Thank you 😊
Omg we have all made those mistakes- the water bottle; the cage; buying a bunny versus adopting one. It’s a learning curve! And bunnies are complex animals, thank you for promoting educational content, I always learn so much from you & Lennon! 💜💜
at least you bring up your mistakes and not act like they never happened. proud of you girl xx
I used to give my bunny a water bottle too and didn't know she should drink out of a bowl. Now the only time I use a water bottle is when we are traveling and she's in her crate, I put a water bottle on the front of the crate just so she has access to SOME water while we are on the road (until we get to our hotel room). Thanks for sharing your mistakes with us! We've all made them :)
My niece was outside our townhome playing in the grass when she was a baby when a big dog came running towards her. Neither my mom or any of us could react in time, but our cat Kitty we had back then bolted out and ran at that dog before it could reach my niece. She was a hero.
You are a great person for sharing ur mistakes with Lennon who haven’t made a mistake as a bunny owner. I am so sorry that u came close to almost losing her all the lennies anr sending love ❤
Finding Lennon after that terrifying encounter must’ve been the best/overwhelming feeling in the world. I’m crying in bed at 6:00AM thinking about being in that situation with my bun. Proud of you for letting go of the leash, very selfless 🥺🤍
I love the transparency with you! You are so raw and honest and that’s why I follow you. Thank you for everything you have done to help us all
I am literally obsessed with Lennon’s name 🥺
Every pet owner makes mistakes, but watching all your videos I know you love Lennon and would never want or just let anything harmful happen to Lennon. Thank you for all your informational videos they have helped me with my bunny Ace.
Lorelei, thank you so much for sharing your stories of the mistakes you made with Lennon, I cringed when I knew you were about to say you had her in a cage, and you wanted to get rid of her, and the worst was the anxiety I felt through that whole dog story. But I'm glad that not only did you learn from these things, but you share them here, every video, trying to help us, and all the bunnies we might have, not have to go through the same process. I wish I had some bunny mistakes to share, but sadly I don't. Not because I'm perfect but because I don't live in a situation where I can really safely take care for a bunny. And as much as I want to, I'll have to wait until I'm in a situation where I can be a good steward of my bunny. What I do wish I could do, and I don't know if this would be beneficial for the bunnies, or not, but to maybe go to a rescue and just spend some time with their bunnies. Physically I'm not in a position to be able to do much to volunteer, but as I get stronger, maybe that's a possibility.
Of course I don´t know every single animal rescue or shelter, but according to everything I heard from these organisations they´re usually happy about everyone who would do anything for their animals, giving them healthy food or toys or just spending time with their animals. If you really want this, you could look for an animal shelter with rabbits near you and ask if you could give them anything for their animals or just be with their rabbits for a while. I cannot guarantee that they will welcome you, but asking´s for free and being with animals can be one of the most rewarding things in the world. I hope this helps.
Going to the rescue is actually really good for the bunnies there. They don't get much attention locked up in those small cages
I have made a fair number of rabbit mistakes but with every number of mistakes we learn to be better bun moms and pops. Love yourself your doing great. Your bunny loves you be there for them and do your best as their guardian to keep them safe. Love you guys be safe!♥️
Hope your bunny is safe afterwards and will be safe happy
Hey!!! most of yall prolly dont care but this means so much to me soooo lemme just share this so ive been watching Lorelei's channel for about 2 years and december of 2021 i decided i was ready to get a bunny !! Her name's Boba! She is the most adorable lil bonbon!!! She does a lil binky ALL THE TIME litterally shes such a happy little bun and its all thanks to ya! lorelei
So glad you found lennon after such a scary incident & thank you for bringing light to the precautions you need to take to make taking your bunnies outside a little safer. In the UK we have very little laws on dogs on leashes, so I don't risk taking my boys out, especially as my dog has been attacked by a loose dog before it was terrifying 😭💖
Thank you so much for being so open with us! You and Lennon are a great pair and it's great how much you've learned about and from her.
I have learnt, and I have improved my mistakes, throughout the year (s) of owing a rabbit.
I also hope Lennon's doing well, so sorry she (you) had to go through this.
i got my rabbit a year ago and when I found your channel it changed me and my bun's life. I hope Lennon is okay and hope you two are doing well. Ly
my family and I have had 2 bunnies one named "Softy" and the second named "Lil Guy". Softy died in 2015, we did not feed him enough timothy hay just pellets mostly. I was devastated when he went because he died right before my son and I. Lil Guy we made sure he was fed well with hay. Your channel helped us save him in 2020 because of baby gas drops, as of Jan 2022 he's still with us! Thank you!
My rabbit is not much of a hay eater, so I make sure his pellets contain Timothy hay. Hay might be the best for them, but sometimes you get a bun that’s just not interested for some reason. Look at your pellet ingredients, because some brands don’t contain Timothy at all.
This has nothing to do with the video but...
MY MOM JUST TOLD ME I COULD GET A BUNNY BC YOUR VIDEOS TAUGHT ME ENOUGH ABOUT THEM!
I love your vids and thank you for teaching stuff about bunny care, I will still be watching your videos for a long time!❤
An owner's love for his or her pet is pure love itself! Dogs and cats cannot speak, but they are carefully nurtured while thinking about what they want and need, and the pets return the love directly to you as much as you love them. Yes, they are family!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such a beautiful comment! Couldn’t have said it better myself ❤️
I made so many mistakes before I met you on RUclips and learned so much about bunnys and their best care I could give them. And that you made mistake is totally okay. Everyone does mistakes. As long you learned from them and Lennon loves you, you can be very proud of yourself
You’ve taught me so much. I thank you for keeping my bunny Hank safe and happy! 🙏😘
Never feel bad about your mistakes, thanks to this channel i'm been able to offer a better life to my bunny. She is been a real challenge since her older owners keept her in a cage for 3 years, imagine all the patience I had to have with her. Zero social skills and this channel has been a life saver.
Oh my god, feel so sorry for Lennon!!
Dogs really need to be on a leash when in a shared space.
Also everyone makes mistakes. . . I did that too when I first got my pets. :)
best wishes lennon and lorelei xo
Lorelei! This is one of your best videos. So much transparency and so touching. I've been through almost all your mistakes, too. Because of your channel, then other channels because of you, I can say I've become an extremely good bun mom. BeBe is 5 years old and "living the life" that every bunny should have. Thanks for doing this video. (I did want to cry when you told us about the dog attack.) Please keep up your wonderful work.
Wow! I feel like I’ll learn so much from the video! Yes so true that no one is perfect. Don’t worry about your mistakes Lorelei because in my eyes your are the best bunny influencer to me❤️
Do not blame yourself!! How much u love Lennon and all the bunnies we could all see🙏💖
I hope she is okay!! Love you both!!
I have learned so much watching your videos. You are truly a loving bunny owner. The mistakes you made were not that bad. Your baby is fine and you always put her feelings and well being first. She's so lucky to have you!
please keep Lennon safe , we love her!!!
Omg, I'm so glad that you and Lennon were ok! It would be m worst nightmare for Guapon to get mauled by a dog. Good thing you let her go and went off on the dog owner he deserved it! I hope you and Lennon have more happy years together and hopefully you will reach one million soon!
Same exact thing happened to me literally the same story my neighbors took their dog outside and thought it would be a good idea to let their dog be outside without a leash. And I lost my bunny because it ran off but then the next morning I saw my bunny under a bush.
i love how you own up to your mistakes so others don’t. lennon in such good care and ily both!
I appreciate you Lorelei as so many in my FB bunny group follow you, and needed to hear ALL of this.
You have no idea of how many rabbits' lives you've changed with your videos! I'm from Brazil and thanks to you I'm able to give my bunny the best life he could possible have. I'm so thankful for your honesty because we learn everyday with you! Love you both ❤️❤️
With the dog attack story, that happened to one of my close friends who owns rabbits. They were at some sort of institution (it might have been a college I’m not entirely sure) but their rabbit was on a leash and just hanging out with them when someone decided to let their HUNTING DOG off leash. This dog instantly goes from chill to bolting after their rabbit. Now this rabbit is now on alert and as this dog gets closer you can tell it was zeroed in on the rabbit. I guess it didn’t register with my friend that this dog was coming for their rabbit because then this dog is literally right on top of them and going for the rabbit. As the dog lunged for the rabbit, and being a trained hunting dog it knew what it was doing, my friend chose to let go of the rabbit’s leash and try to get in between the dog and the rabbit. The rabbit so so luckily managed to get away fast enough and the dog took a chunk out of the person’s arm. They ended up in the ER from this dog attack. So yeah, be smart with your rabbits and your dogs.
Holy crap 🫢
Nobody is perfect, I think we all have made mistakes as bunny owners.
I also bought impulsively my bunny Oreo last year without having the needed knowledge to take good care of him, thankfully after a few days searching about bunnies I found your channel and now his life has completely improved because of all your advices. Thank you for sharing so much with us always
Thank you so much for this video Lorelai and for being so honest! You're such a great bunny mum, and we're so blessed to hear your honest advice! 🥰
I think my biggest mistake was being too excited to bond my rabbits and not supervising them properly - they could have gotten very aggressive, and they were both terrified because I moved too quickly. But I'm so glad they're okay and get along now! ☺
Love this story you did the best you could and I’m so glad you got Lennon back
I hope lennon is doing alright! Tysm for ur channel u have helped me soo much with my rabbit 🥰
I love this video. You were raw and honest. You showed us that even you are still learning. You also showed us that it’s ok to make mistakes. Thank you.
This reminds me of something that happened to me (and my bunnies), a few weeks after adopting my 2 bunnies a friend of mine came over, and she brought her dog with her (I didn't know she was going to do that), I was caught off guard and since her dog is pretty small I decided to let them in.. which was definitely a terrible mistake on my side, the second my bunnies smelled her dog they freaked out completely, they started to run everywhere and they would even hit themselves against the walls... It was really painful and horrifying to watch
Thankfully my bunnies found a spot under my couch and I picked up her dog quickly and took him outside my house
They're okay but they did get traumatized, now after a year they still get nervous every time they hear a dog barking, even if it's on the tv :(
The reason why I thought it would be okay to let this dog in was because I had another rabbit in the past, and I once rescued a cat from the street and my (then) rabbit was completely okay with it (the cat was kinda scared of her but she wasn't) so yeah.. I definitely learned the lesson but I wished I had learned it in a different way 🥺
You and Lennon have made my bunnys life so much better
I love you guys so much! You teach me how to give my bunny the best life! Not only our you teaching us but your giving us amazing entertainment and content!
I just got my new bunny and you have helped me a lot and made sure not to make a lot of mistakes.
Thank you
Awwww, Thank You for sharing. Love Lennon 💖
Thanks for bravely sharing your mistakes despite knowing how harshly judgmental the internet is. It's great to see people like you who are an example of how to own up to our past mistakes, and normalizing the fact that nobody is perfect, and mistakes are things that we can and should learn from.
You’re amazing!!!!! We need a million more of you! The cage thing really needs to be preached across the universe.
I can not imagine a cage and a rabbit outside. My heart breaks! Do not ever regret when you learn a lesson and spread it everywhere
Idk if I could have done so well when the dog attack happened. I’m so happy you have it to the irresponsible owner. Who the hell let’s their dog run around without a leash, unless you’re in a dog park where rabbits are not! I had 3 bunnies and I learned so much every month from them. My 2 had a lot of health issues and $1000’s of vet bills sadly. If I ever get another bunny I’ll know a lot more from my experience and your talks. Btw you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. You don’t seem real! An amazing bunny mom and beautiful. Thank you
I can tell how much you love your bunny the way you talk about that experience.
My biggest mistake was also getting a bunny without being informed, but thanks to you i learned a lot of new things on how to be a batter owner, thank you again 🙏🏼
I’ve also made a bunch of mistakes with my bunns! I also got my bunny with zero research done. I kept her in a cage, had a water bottle and just the basic mistakes. Luckily after about 3 days I’ve started freeroaming and turning her life around, thanks to all of your amazing videos, I’m forever grateful of you. 💜
It's great that you are able to accept your mistakes and not act like a perfect owner. The transparency about your channel is the best! Love ya❤️
I really needed you to make this video becuase I have been beating myself up for all the mistakes I made when I had no idea what I was doing. I seriously needed you to say all this.
Aw I have been a follower of you on my other account for a while when I wanted to get a bunny and you have helped so much your a great rabbit owner 💕
Well, this earned a subscription. Thank you for your open honesty... not to mention all the info on bunnies. I just rescued a little lionhead white that someone dumped at the edge of the woods a block from my house three days ago, and have been binge-watching your channel to find out how to take care of her since there was 'no room at the inns' around here for her. Which is no doubt why she found herself alone on the side of the street.
I'm so glad lennon is safe! That must have been so scary for the both of you!
Lorelie is queen of the world 😘
Lennon is the princess of the world ❤
And we Lennies are always Support and love LennonTheBunny all time because it was soooooooooo helpful and informative channel for all Lennies love you so much LennonTheBunny 💜❤😘
I have made so many mistakes with my two cute rabbits. One time me and my dad were going to take them to the park... having them in a pram and bring leashes so they could play on the grass... We arrived at the park, I put there leashes on and gave one to myself and one to my dad to walk. The one my dad was walking started sprinting.... He was enjoying on the grass but my dad couldn't stop him from running.... Dad accidentally let go of him and he sprinted across the enormous oval!!! I was running and calling out for him while holding the other Rabbit.... I was terrified but the rabbit that was running just froze... we quickly grabbed him... I am so lucky that he didn't run away.... I will never forget that day. You go GIRL... you have such a wonderful rabbit and teach everyone the best...Thank you
Love your transparency. We seriously need more people like you. Thank goodness you both are well and alive today.
My biggest rabbit mistake is probably not proofing our house for our bunny ZuZu. Especially during the holidays. The Christmas trees. The phone charges. Grief. Scared me when she would bite through then and not get shocked. Thank goodness she used alive and well.
Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes and I think its good to share those mistakes and to have others learn from them. No judgement here, I made a lot of the same mistakes with my bunny as you did with Lennon...and it was this channel that helped me learn and educated me. So keep doing what your doing!x
I've made literally all these mistakes but your channel has helped me become a better rabbit owner. I remember when my bun was a baby I took him into the hallway of the apartment building because the floors were all carpeted. He used to do zoomies up and down this giant hallway before he even weighed 1lb. Anyways, one day I wasn't paying enough attention and someones dog escaped from their apartment, he was totally unleashed. I was sitting with my rabbit when I see a little black ball coming closer and closer. then I heard barking and this dog got so close before I was able to finally scoop up my rabbit and turn away from the dog. This actually traumatized me even though no one got hurt, and I hate to say it but please keep your dogs on a leash because honestly I love dogs but I won't hesitate to kick a dog away if its threatening my baby.
