I adopted my bun from a local shelter. The workers there seemed shocked I wanted to adopt her! Apparently she had been returned twice. She was aggressive when I brought her home, lunging and trying to bite. I gave her her own space, sat on the floor talking to her, and started giving her treats by hand. She was skittish at first, but now is a free roam bun and loves pets and treats! She is not as affectionate as my previous bun (rest in peace my Lolabun) but she is no longer aggressive and I hope she will continue to improve. I am hoping to find her a companion bun.
I picked up a rabbit that a pet store was struggling to sell. Basil is not aggressive. For a rabbit that may have been hard to sell, he sure has fitted right into our home... 3 more rabbits later to give him the extra company, Basil will surely live out a happy full life xx

Poor thing. Returned twice? Those humans only wanted a toy for the children perhaps and an aggressive bun in need of love and safety to distress was not right. Poor bun. I am happy you adopted her and understood her emotional needs. The emotional wellbeing of a rabbit is as important as the physical wellbeing. Rabbits are affectionate, but they also defend themselves from those who seem to be threats to their wellbeing.
Im so ashamed of myself. My rabbits were sisters. My mom decided to get me one when i was TEN, and my older sister by 7 years also wanted one. We had two of them. They shared a cage, but then they grew and my rabbit started attacking my sister's rabbit. My sister gave up with her and left her to me instead. I had so little knowledge and i know a lot of things are wrong with my rabbits, Ophelia and Dixie. They're four years old, unspayed, hateful, aggressive, depressed, anxious and scared of me. My whole family is scared of Ophelia ( my sister's original rabbit ) and Dixie sometimes even flops when i finally decide to let her out of her small cage. They live seperatedly, have an unhealthy diet, overweight and im pretty sure they are not healthy, too. My parents are too scared they're gonna pee on the rug or chew my chargers (which has happened. I never told my parents.) Im fourteen years old now, and in the past few days I've had several mental breakdowns. I feel like it's all my fault and I'm planning to use my saved up money to buy a large x-pen, many chew toys and everything new in general. I also really want them spayed, but my mom and my mom's friend's veterinarian thinks it's a bad idea. I feel so bad. I wish I've done a bit more research when i was younger. They didn't deserve any of this. update 2 months later: both of them were spayed, and now im 7 days in the bonding process. they're doing so good. i have an xpen for the bonding sessions and another diy one, atleast 6 feet long, for them to move into when they're bonded. i fixed their diet, too! Ophelia, my sister's rabbit isn't even aggressive anymore if you dont exactly touch her bowl. I'm so proud of them. Please remember if there's a will, there's a way. 🫶
@@SunflowerDoggos They're so much happier now!!!! I also decided I'm going to properly bunny proof my room and slowly free roam them :) thanks for the reply!! I'll give them a treat on your behalf
I had been watching Lennon videos and many other bun videos for months when one day I found a cute bunny at a rescue event. When I showed up, the bunny I had hoped for had already been adopted. But then I spotted a handsome bunny but I was told he was aggressive and had been returned because he also did not like being pet. I went into his enclosure and sat down on the other side. Immediately he came up to me and did the bunny thing where he taps me with his nose. He put his front paws on my knee and sniffed me. I felt I understood him. He had been coming to the rescue events for a year and at that event it seemed like a small child and his mom were going to adopt Caspian as he is called. Instantly I knew I had to take him when he ran from the child as it attempted to pet him. A week later they dropped him off and I had everything for him. As he had lived mostly with females he seemed a bit afraid of me at first. He lived in his enclosure for a week before I let him out to roam my room. For some reason he loved it underneath my bed and I had to get him out with a broom (not by pushing him) so he would run back to his enclosure. After another week I decided to just let him live under my bed and become free roam. Fast forward a year and a half. He now free roams the entire house, he has multiple nooks he likes to chill in throughout the day. I now call him my brother as it seems he has bonded with my mother haha. He leaves my room every morning to go wait at her bedroom door to ask for his morning salad and treat. He gets zoomies every few days and he binkies like crazy when it is salad/treat time. He doesn't like being pet or held, but he likes being around us when we are all together in the same room. I love Caspian and I am glad he now has his forever home with us :)
I know your bunny is happy! A couple of small comments: Folks should be able to differentiate between biting and nibbling. Gentle nibbles can simply be a request for attention or even affectionate, whereas biting is accompanied by a tense body posture and other cues. Also, molting can lead to discomfort and thus to sadness. Try to keep that bunny groomed in this case.
Ty Anton C. You may have just gave me the answer to a question I was asking Lorelei in an email. Since two weeks after I got my bunny spayed/neutered he started being finicky and not wanting to eat his timothy hay or timothy pellets. But he also has started shedding. I had no idea shedding could be as you say here for them. If what you say is the case that could be why he is acting weird about his food. I'm still planning on asking a vet but you just gave me hope that it might not be as bad as I fear. Thanks so much for your post from my deepest heart. I love Lorelei's tips but it's a bonus when her fans also give advice! Thanks again.
@@capricedowsland3068 How is your bunny doing now? I hope all went well. If they get finicky about their main food, try giving them their favorite treat (e.g. banana)...if they refuse that, then it's time to get them to the vet ASAP.
@@TerreHauteRemoteGoat he's fine now... I did two things..1. Took your advice and groomed more, tho it ticked him off to no end and he bit shoved me ( I mean grab with teeth lightly and flick head as if to toss my hand away like an unwanted toy). And 2. Finally got orchard hay. Been wanting to try it and he went bat shit crazy on it and now will eat the timothy but uff he prefers the orchard now. He never refuses a naner and can smell them things s mile away and comes running before I even pull the 🍌 out of the bag. But I have no idea of nutritional value of orchard hay and would think timothy still needs to be a priority. However he still wants to change things up,😂
In regards to the bunny poop, the picture you have at 7:04 is from "guide-bunny-poops". While you're absolutely right that consistency of their poops is important, the bottom ones are supposed to be the healthy ones where they do easily fall apart and this is a quote about the top ones from their site; "Darker, more moist poops may be a sign that your bunny is getting too much protein in their diet."
Being lethargic, not eating or drinking. While I was working at a pet store there was a rabbit that I became attached to and she had started to bond with me. One day I wasn't able to give her as much attention as it was a busy day, the following day she was laying down much more than usual and was refusing to eat and drink. I picked her up and gave her some cuddles while checking her temp making sure she wasn't too cold or hot. After putting her down cause we got a customer, she went right back to normal playing eating and drinking 😊
I was lucky enough to be offered a bunny about two weeks ago. My sister and her gf were moving in together, and my sister has a cat. As soon as they asked me, I started researching and learned about free roaming. I researched a week straight, and listened to your videos while I worked from home. I adopted him for free, and got everything he needed with him, but switched out some of what they had for him thanks you your suggestions. We already love him SO much, he’s a lion head and his name is Oswald and he’s a super sweet bunny.❤😊
My Lilly is a Chinchilla breed and she is the best bunny a person can ask for. I always had small bunnies who hated to be picked up or too play outside their pens. Lilly is free roaming in the living room, she loves it. When I have to go out she usually lays in front of the door waiting for me to get home. She hates it when I go out. She is my partner in crime. I try to get her to come in other rooms with me but she hates the hardwood floors. I sleep on the couch just so 😂can be near her 24/7. I keep telling her we're going to start sleeping in the bedroom soon. She is also my guard bunny, she checks out everyone who comes into my house. I can't ever imagine life without her❤❤❤❤
hi!im buying bunny this week and super nervous...if it werent for you my future rabbit would have a tiny cage, watter bottle, no hay, no litter box ect. you helped me so much!!
I took a selfie with one of my buns and the other started thumping until I took pics of him, I tried to stop and he thumped some more. So we did a photoshoot until he was bored lol. That's how you get 100's of pics of a bunny on your phone
When I leave my bunnies area of the house he has always(since getting him two years ago) lunged at my feet. I always thought it's cuz he wants me to stay 😅 so when I lay on the bed in his room recently he's been digging up the blanket lunging at me,that's how we play sometimes,I thought it was a game because he often does binkies throughout this playtime🤔 recently he has been hiding more, but eats great,etc I just think as he's aging he is wanting day time to rest and when I go see him throughout day time,he acts like I'm bugging him,as soon as night falls he's happy to play/hang out. So overall I think my bunnies happy and he definitely does get upset with me for clipping his nails because he thumps and then flicked me off ever since he was a baby bun
Lorelei, I hope that you can make an educational video on epilepsy on rabbits. My rabbit was recently diagnosed with idiopathic seizures. I think this would be a really good topic. People usually don't associate seizures with rabbits, but this condition also impacts them and just I am learning to manage her condition, others can learn about it too.
My bunny lost a littermate recently and this is helpful! I’ve been keeping an eye on him, and he seems to be doing better. Flopping, running around and binkying, following me, eating, getting excited to do tricks, licking me, etc. I think he actually got more attached to me, but he’s now more scared of other people. I socialized him a lot and he loved to be around anyone when his littermate was alive. I’m a little concerned and hope he doesn’t become aggressive towards others. I’m not sure what to do about it.
My rabbit recently lost a littermate, too. My pair was inseparable. After the littermate passed, she was sad for a few days but then got better she started following me around just like yours, but I knew she loved having a friend, so I got another rabbit. All bonding processes are different, but the new rabbit thumped at her for 1 hour, but she didn't care. She wanted to be friends with her. Now they are best friends, and you can't split them up for anything. Maybe you should get another rabbit.
@@heart_for_you2 I know, and I wish I could do that. But I’m a teenager & live under my dad’s roof still, and he doesn’t want to get another rabbit. I’m already surprised we were able to get the two we had before because he doesn’t like pets. Thank you for the advice, though!
@dot. gotcha! I live with my parents too and it was hard as well. Hopefully, everything goes well for you! 🙏 the only other thing you can really do is spend as much time with him as possible and buy him toys to help keep him entertained (which I'm sure you do). Have a good day!
I am fostering two boy-buns (that were originally born in the wild but it was a complicated situation and they needed to be rescued at like 1-2 weeks old). They absolutely hate being touched. They are really happy together and they binky and get the zoomies late in the evening and they always beg for treats. They are totally fine with being around my feet but as soon as my hands come near (without a treat they can grab and run away with) they back off and stare at me like I am being crazy. I always feel like I traumatise them when I need to catch them to bring them to the vet or when I need to check their claws and teeth and stuff. I hope they’ll get a long-term home that respects their boundaries and accepts them for who they are honestly because I don’t think they will learn to love being pet

Thank you so much for this amazing, informative video! I love all your videos. I think there's one thing you missed: A rabbit screaming. This means that the bunny is very terrified and you should find the cause of why and comfort the rabbit instantly. But yeah, my bunny and I are great fans of yours!
I want to share my experience here, maybe is useful for someone else! I have 3 rabbits, they free roam the whole house and the two terraces 24/7 as they please, I buy them the best hay and food I can find, they also have lots of different toys of all kinds and we love and respect them very much. One of them is very cautious with open spaces and with humans (including me and anyone), he prefers to move around walking under furniture (tables, chairs, tunnels etc) where he feels safer, he always gets tense when we aproach him, usually getting away if you're not carrying any food. It sounds bad but we came to realize that's just how he is. On the other hand he is very affectionate with the other bunnies, loves to stick around them and give or recieve kisses, he flops all day long around the whole house and in his favourite spots, even in the same room with us or very close to us, he just doesn't feel comfortable with human interaction. It's been a year since we adopted him and of course it improved but I doubt he'll ever change this behaviour and suddenly act with us like the other bunnies. And we don't mind as long as he is happy and healthy. Every bun has it's own personality and life experiences (all my 3 buns are adopted from different situations) and it doesn't always mean that you're doing something bad or that the rabbit is unhappy.
I have two bunnies and I have taken lots of tips from your channel and it has helped a lot! However one of them hates pets and is always shaking and breathing heavily lmao, I've taken him to the vet numerous times and he is okay! I think he is just like this, because he binkies normally and flops around all of the time. It always looks like he is scared but since I adopted him he's always been doing that so I'm used to it by now.
I adopted my 2 yo dwarf bunny Hopscotch and have had him 5 months. He was initially skittish/fearful due to his abusive past, but because of your videos, he came around super fast within a few days!! He's now in training for an AKC trick title :3 He knows 19 tricks!! he's super smart & social now. He is completely free roamed of course (again, thanks to you ♡). Even though my husband and I both work from home, i plan on getting him a bun friend asap. ^o^ I always feel awful leaving him alone when we go somewhere rabbits aren't allowed. I bought him a stroller for when we go shopping. :D
IT is good for your bunnie to give him companion. That's very necessary for every bunny. Shopping tours etc is not suitable for bunnies because they are fearful animals. Get him a friend from a shelter and I wish you good luck
when my sister's bunny escaped i had to sit down wait for a long time because i didn't want walk up to it and accidentally scare it but eventually it got comfortable enough for me to get up and pick it up
I followed your advice, instructions etc... I've been following your blog for over a year now. Now I & my brother have a bunny (each) that is SPOILED. Mine don't mind been picked up. By day three he just plops on the ground comfy. My brother's bunny is a spoil brat. Demands attention and gives kisses when attention is given. She's a girl bunny. And spreads out her hind leg & sleeps like there's no fk to give. 😂 (within 2 weeks!) Both bunny trusts us and owns our own. Potty training is a little challenging but other wise they are are doing great. 👌
My bunny thumps when I'm telling him that he can't have more treats or my sweets, he definitely isn't unhappy, just disappointed that I'm not doing everything like he wants 😂
I will say about bites, there is a difference between a warning nip, or asking you to move, and an actual bite meant to hurt. Remember rabbits could easily break skin and cause bleeding if they really want to!
Im watching this now since i got a bunny recently, in the past ive had a bunny, me and my mom thought that our bunny is happy but then i realizwd back then we tranced him and he bites the corners of wooden poles, we thought it was normal but turns out hes unhappy, everytime we past by he always runs to us, possibly asking for attention. I wish i watched your videos before, im gonna try to take care of my current rabbit properly now
How about a video "11 Signs Your Rabbit is Just Plain Nuts!" Caye grunts and nips at me when I'm using the brush and dustpan to clean up strap poops. I'm trying to figure out if it's the bright red color, the motion, the sound, or that she's miffed because I'm stealing her precious poop. Plum will nip all my fingers, one by one, after treat time to make sure they're not edible.
Bet ifu did pressure a career as a rabbit vet it would be an amazing adventure to watch , and also bet u might find someone actually passionate in the same way u are along the way girl 🎉
One of my babies died in my arms yesterday and since they've been together since birth im worried i might lose the other one too. I heard its good for them to explore new environments so me and my family have basically completely free roamed him though at night we only let him roam in my bedroom. I got him a tunnel with a house connected to his pen and a bunch of toys to keep him distracted from his loss but im still worried about everything and mostly his health. Please leave suggestions (my mom said she has a few friends with bunnies and maybe she could bring them over some time so he gets to socialize)
Thank you for this vid! I finally convinced my dad to take Sailormoon to the vet for a check-up Friday ( I also got outta school early, lol) and she is perfectly healthy! Which I was slightly traumatized from Cleo's teeth overgrowing (my bun who passed exactly 2 months ago...) I was scared Sailormoon's teeth would be overgrown as well, but she's ok. 💕 I plan to adopt her a fren since her little sis passed. Once school gets out, that is....then she'll have another bud to keep her company 🥰 Once again thx for the videos you post, your channel has changed my life in the course of three years! I became a Lenny April of 2020 :)
My baby will thump, but no so much anymore or he used to nip or even bite me, but that had to do if I would stop petting him, the thumping when he was hungry and I missed his snack time or meal time. Babies need attention all of the time and that means giving them their space.
Hey, I long my bunny just under 48 hours ago.. its pains me to say this but I MISS HIM! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND! I WATCHED MY BEST FRIEND DIE! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I FEEL LIKE COMMITTING IDK WHAT TO DO HE IS THE REASON I AM STILL ALIVE AND HE WASNT EVEN 2!!
Hi Lorelei I was wondering if you could answer my question. My bunny, Cleo, whenever she is all flattened out on the floor and I'm petting her, or if she's all flattened out on top of her box, she is always breathing very heavily and I'm not sure why. Whenever I AM petting her, she leans into it and seems content but does shake with her heavy breaths. She will also occasionally out of the blue be very very scared of anyone. Any advice is appreciated! Note; she is a rescue and was found on the side of the road, and was initially very very shy
My rabbits ears are naturally drooping down. She kind of has a hair style with it. Ever since I’ve got her, she’s had ears that droop down. She only lifts them when I touch her ears or her tail
Wilma, the 1st rabbit I've owned, was a butterscotch Holland Lop. I was gone for almost 2 weeks. During this time a very close friend of mine checked on her twice a day. That wasn't nearly enough, because when I returned from the trip she quickly hopped away and went between the sofa and an end table. When I tried to coax her to come out she leaped and bit me. Message received. "Get away from me you world traveler. You left me here alone and I'm ticked off!"
That moment I can’t free roam by rabbit at the moment because he got an ear infection. I’m slowly increasing his play area once I see he’s comfortable but he’s now having difficulty walking on hard wood and my whole house is hard wood 😢. I bought play mats and that’s how I increase his play area but he doesn’t seem upset and I spoil him with all the attention.
Always pay attention to the needs of your bunny, please. I missed something on mine a month ago and I had to get him put to sleep. Im still so so so angry at myself, I dont know when ill heal and find peace for my mistake, but I know it will be a long time.
It's always painful when we fail our furry friends. We can't forgive ourselves and we continue to hold on to the pain. But if you turn to the Lord Jesus He can heal your broken heart. His forgiveness and love is the only thing that can change your life and give you true peace in your soul. I experienced this when I turned to Him almost six years ago - He changed my life and the life of the bunny rabbit in my care for the better. You can't undo what you did in the past but God can help you have a better future. God is teaching me how to love and take care of animals better and to understand them.
I adopted a bun in June and he is very skittish, so I do my best to respect his space and allow him to approach me/spend time around me only when he wants to. I have a female bunny around the same age for 3 years now and she is very social/clingy in comparison. They get along great, cuddle up and he even follows her around like a lovestruck bun! Nowadays he lets me pet him, but not usually for long, and lets me pick him up for nail trims and grooming. Otherwise he just likes to watch from afar, chill next to the girl bun, or hang out in his pen. He does come out for treats but is cautious to see if I’ll make any sudden movements, before coming out for food. As he likes to mostly stay with the girl bun or in his pen, am I doing the right thing by giving him his space or should I take more initiative in bonding with him? Does he sound depressed? I know he didn’t have the best experience beforehand so I don’t want to push anything, but now I’m thinking maybe he’s depressed and would actually benefit from more attention from me.. (Their pens are always open by the way, they can free roam as they choose. Also I work from home so I’m always around)
My other bunny lost her partner, but she isn't sad about it because the bunny was so sick that she chased her a lot and bit her. She is now more relaxed and wants attention.
I was watching a video about rabbits and their living habits from lennon the bunny and I agree that keeping a rabbit in a hutch is wrong now the issue is I’m from the UK so the rescue centres here don’t agree with the idea of free roaming like when they make them bunnies profile they add wether the bunny likes to be outside or indoors and to me that is also wrong because as much as each bunny has a different personality it’s just wrong to keep them outside yes you can grant your bunny supervised access to the garden etc. But unfortunately in the uk they won’t let you adopt a rabbit without a hutch and a run. Me being me and feeling strongly against that I messaged the rescue centre by email and it turned into a major argument or disagreement I tried to express to them that it’s wrong to tell customers who want to adopt a bunny to buy a hutch with a run first and I gave them details to why meaning I told them that having a hutch for a bunny can cause them issues such as weight gain and loneliness and it can also cause them anxiety as they are outside around other animals that are known predators. But of course because it is England and they don’t have rules for bunnies the rescue centre decided to tell me to just practically shut up as they know what is right for each bunny.. it made me soo angry and frustrated but than I remembered that it’s the UK and there is nothing else I can do it’s just soo upsetting that we as people especially the country I live in don’t seem to understand anything all the UK cares about is making money
I remember when my bunny peppers partner passed she was depressed and very distant. She wouldn’t come out of a corner and I was worried cuz she was close to falling off but I couldn’t get to her
What does it mean when a bunny, 12 weeks old, comes by himself onto your lap while you are sitting on the floor and accepts pets, then ‘digs’ your clothes and nips at your clothes? I have had him for 3 weeks and he is otherwise very sweet and friendly. Really appreciate any insight x
My rabbit for some weird reason always chews on my clothes only when they are the color blue. I don't know if this is a bad thing or he just likes chewing on blue things

I have a free roaming bunny lily in my room however I have some nic grids blocking her from getting excess to the whole apartment and she often bits it and rattles it or try’s to jump out when I take it a grid lower and I think she does this so she can go explore the house but I don’t know how I can make her happy because she has lots of space to run and toys and I spend time with her but I don’t know how to prevent her from rattling the bars. Anyone have any suggestions?
I’m a (perhaps overly paranoid) first time bunny owner and my girl’s ears go back when she flops down next to me when im petting her. She closes her eyes and doesn’t seem stressed at all so is this always a sign of unhappiness? Is she just fully relaxed?😅
I have a almost 2 year old lionhead rex female rabbit i got er from a crappy pet store she was on sale an she was in a glass tank with awful bedding that stuck to er fur she was da only one without red eyes so meh mum bought er fer meh she was a baby an she was like a little fluffball so dats wut i named er she has complete access to meh room an she has plenty of toys treats an space an she became meh emotional support animal an i think of er as meh daughter i absolutely luv er an she luvs meh an i dedicated meh channel to er!❤
I have this one question, I recently adopted a bunny, I already had one so i just wanted a partner for him. this little new bunny, he chins me, sleep on my lap, always around me if i'm on the floor, even follow me to the toilet always, listen to my words as well, but he always nips me, whenever he see my hands, he always do, it's never the bite, he never licked me either but he always chin me and nips me, Can u please suggest how can i stop his nipping, it does hurt a bit.
we bought 2 rabbits so they could be together and they wouldn't feel alone. for a few weeks it went well and now they bite each other every time they would be together. now one of the rabbits feels alone but we are not going to gamble on buying a third rabbit and then sitting with 3 if it not clicks
Are they neutered/spayed? My rabbits had this problem and we had to keep them separate but after they got spayed and neutered they live happily as besties
Lorelei you are my role model ❤my bunny minchu and I have only made it so far thanks to you. Thank you so much 💗 and as always love you and lennon so much ❤❤❤
No. My Rabbit disliked ALL other rabbits. Just as some people prefer to be alone, or prefer to be an only child, so do some pets. If you have a very close bond, your pet will ignore your other pets! My friend has 3 cats who can't stand each other, though you'd think they'd love a nap buddy!
I adopted my rabbit at the spca of my city, he was ''know to hate children's and being scared of them'', I have a 3 year old and they where like be really careful of your child not being hurt. He was anxious and territorial, dit bite me multiple times and my daughter too. But i work with him. He was not scared of children and did not hate them. He love my daugther now, but he was not fixed before going to spca. And his bad attitude did not last long after we got him. He is a good free roam rabbit that dont bite anymore. But he stump when something dont make it happy. Like when i say his name and what his doing is bad. Like: pompom stop eating that toy. the toy is never his and always like the favorite toy of my daugther.
I rescued a rabbit from being dumped in the woods at our neighborhood,my husband and I kept her/him,we have a vet appointment for this Saturday,to know the gender of our rabbit,she/him is pretty good at times on urinating on the pee pads but she/him misses at time she’s been pooping everywhere,we have watched your videos and got her a litter box with the pee pad in it and the alfalfa hay but she/him has no care for it we have taken the cover off the litter box,but it’s a no go,I’m tired of cleaning up when I get home especially the urine,I’m pressure she/him has not been fixed yet,please help what advise should you give us?
My rabbit is 5 years old and refuses to leave her cage even though the door is always open. ive tried to litter train her and she just wont do it she doesnt care for the litter box at all. When i offer her treats she doesnt want them and she just puts her head down so i can pet her. Idk what to do because she like refuses to learn any commands or be active or pretty much do anything. She wont bite or harm a fly but she also doesnt play with anything unless she flips a lid repeatedly. Idk what else to do im stuck and it’s frustrating
One of my rabbits definitely has a psychological problem. After getting a second rabbit (younger, more lively) the older and more shy one got really unhappy, biting her cage (even when she was outside of it) making specific sound as if she's angry. And I have no idea what to do. I can't possibly get them separated or give them more space than they already have. There were couple of months, when they got along just fine, but something (I don't know what) happened and they are back to hating each other :(
Lorelai I really need your help.. me and my parents just got a bunny with my sisters and I feel so bad for her because I thought she’d be Liveing a better life here but the original owners sent her with her cage she’s been Liveing in for 7 years and my parents think it’s okay since she’s lived tere all her life and they think “we saved her” but I feel like she’s really depressed and u happy but my parents think shes helthy because she als like it I feel so bad and it makes me want to give her to someone else that will tale better care of her but I love her so much and I don’t know what to do I can’t stop crying because I feel so bad for her and I keep telling my parents it’s bad for her but they keep saying I’m wrong and that she is happy and healthy I don’t want to do please say something.
I have a holland lop, too. Every bunny is different, but mine bites my shoes (very gentle) to let me know she wants something. Other than signs like certain noises, gentle bites that don't hurt at all, and thumping, there is really no other way. (She has never thumped at me, though)
Rabbit ears that are straight up mean that the rabbit is curious or alert and rabbit ears that are not straight up, not tense and back usually indicate that the rabbit is relaxed or content?
I got a question on identifying ears! I got two little lop eared bunnies, so they do not move their ears as normal rabbits, how do i identify behaviour in lops?
my bunny is a little odd, he's affraid of heights so will not jump up onto anything other than the bed, he will not destroy furniture, cards, or cables. He hates hiding in dark places (i have to keep a night light on for him) and at night he jumps into bed with me and cuddles until i fall asleep, i then hear him jump down onto the floor when he thinks im asleep and starts doing bunny sprints back and forward across the room... he's completely free roam, no cages. Sometimes when i go to work and I come back late, he's sitting on the bed waiting for me to cuddle him with judging eyes... I think i should get him a companion but im affraid another bunny wont be as laid back and would end up scaring him.
I adopted my bun from a local shelter. The workers there seemed shocked I wanted to adopt her! Apparently she had been returned twice. She was aggressive when I brought her home, lunging and trying to bite. I gave her her own space, sat on the floor talking to her, and started giving her treats by hand. She was skittish at first, but now is a free roam bun and loves pets and treats! She is not as affectionate as my previous bun (rest in peace my Lolabun) but she is no longer aggressive and I hope she will continue to improve. I am hoping to find her a companion bun.
you're making the right choices!
You are a good bun parent and I hope you find a great fit for your newly found fuzz baby 🥰
I picked up a rabbit that a pet store was struggling to sell. Basil is not aggressive. For a rabbit that may have been hard to sell, he sure has fitted right into our home... 3 more rabbits later to give him the extra company, Basil will surely live out a happy full life xx
Poor thing. Returned twice? Those humans only wanted a toy for the children perhaps and an aggressive bun in need of love and safety to distress was not right. Poor bun. I am happy you adopted her and understood her emotional needs. The emotional wellbeing of a rabbit is as important as the physical wellbeing. Rabbits are affectionate, but they also defend themselves from those who seem to be threats to their wellbeing.
You are on the right track! Keep going
Im so ashamed of myself. My rabbits were sisters. My mom decided to get me one when i was TEN, and my older sister by 7 years also wanted one. We had two of them. They shared a cage, but then they grew and my rabbit started attacking my sister's rabbit. My sister gave up with her and left her to me instead. I had so little knowledge and i know a lot of things are wrong with my rabbits, Ophelia and Dixie. They're four years old, unspayed, hateful, aggressive, depressed, anxious and scared of me. My whole family is scared of Ophelia ( my sister's original rabbit ) and Dixie sometimes even flops when i finally decide to let her out of her small cage. They live seperatedly, have an unhealthy diet, overweight and im pretty sure they are not healthy, too. My parents are too scared they're gonna pee on the rug or chew my chargers (which has happened. I never told my parents.) Im fourteen years old now, and in the past few days I've had several mental breakdowns. I feel like it's all my fault and I'm planning to use my saved up money to buy a large x-pen, many chew toys and everything new in general. I also really want them spayed, but my mom and my mom's friend's veterinarian thinks it's a bad idea. I feel so bad. I wish I've done a bit more research when i was younger. They didn't deserve any of this.
update 2 months later: both of them were spayed, and now im 7 days in the bonding process. they're doing so good. i have an xpen for the bonding sessions and another diy one, atleast 6 feet long, for them to move into when they're bonded. i fixed their diet, too! Ophelia, my sister's rabbit isn't even aggressive anymore if you dont exactly touch her bowl. I'm so proud of them. Please remember if there's a will, there's a way. 🫶
Thank you for changing for the better. I’m so glad you gave you’re bunnies the life they deserve.❤
@@SunflowerDoggos They're so much happier now!!!! I also decided I'm going to properly bunny proof my room and slowly free roam them :) thanks for the reply!! I'll give them a treat on your behalf

I had been watching Lennon videos and many other bun videos for months when one day I found a cute bunny at a rescue event. When I showed up, the bunny I had hoped for had already been adopted. But then I spotted a handsome bunny but I was told he was aggressive and had been returned because he also did not like being pet. I went into his enclosure and sat down on the other side. Immediately he came up to me and did the bunny thing where he taps me with his nose. He put his front paws on my knee and sniffed me. I felt I understood him. He had been coming to the rescue events for a year and at that event it seemed like a small child and his mom were going to adopt Caspian as he is called. Instantly I knew I had to take him when he ran from the child as it attempted to pet him. A week later they dropped him off and I had everything for him. As he had lived mostly with females he seemed a bit afraid of me at first. He lived in his enclosure for a week before I let him out to roam my room. For some reason he loved it underneath my bed and I had to get him out with a broom (not by pushing him) so he would run back to his enclosure. After another week I decided to just let him live under my bed and become free roam. Fast forward a year and a half. He now free roams the entire house, he has multiple nooks he likes to chill in throughout the day. I now call him my brother as it seems he has bonded with my mother haha. He leaves my room every morning to go wait at her bedroom door to ask for his morning salad and treat. He gets zoomies every few days and he binkies like crazy when it is salad/treat time. He doesn't like being pet or held, but he likes being around us when we are all together in the same room. I love Caspian and I am glad he now has his forever home with us :)
I know your bunny is happy!
A couple of small comments: Folks should be able to differentiate between biting and nibbling. Gentle nibbles can simply be a request for attention or even affectionate, whereas biting is accompanied by a tense body posture and other cues. Also, molting can lead to discomfort and thus to sadness. Try to keep that bunny groomed in this case.
Ty Anton C. You may have just gave me the answer to a question I was asking Lorelei in an email. Since two weeks after I got my bunny spayed/neutered he started being finicky and not wanting to eat his timothy hay or timothy pellets. But he also has started shedding. I had no idea shedding could be as you say here for them. If what you say is the case that could be why he is acting weird about his food. I'm still planning on asking a vet but you just gave me hope that it might not be as bad as I fear. Thanks so much for your post from my deepest heart. I love Lorelei's tips but it's a bonus when her fans also give advice! Thanks again.
@@capricedowsland3068 How is your bunny doing now? I hope all went well. If they get finicky about their main food, try giving them their favorite treat (e.g. banana)...if they refuse that, then it's time to get them to the vet ASAP.
@@TerreHauteRemoteGoat he's fine now... I did two things..1. Took your advice and groomed more, tho it ticked him off to no end and he bit shoved me ( I mean grab with teeth lightly and flick head as if to toss my hand away like an unwanted toy). And 2. Finally got orchard hay. Been wanting to try it and he went bat shit crazy on it and now will eat the timothy but uff he prefers the orchard now. He never refuses a naner and can smell them things s mile away and comes running before I even pull the 🍌 out of the bag. But I have no idea of nutritional value of orchard hay and would think timothy still needs to be a priority. However he still wants to change things up,😂
In regards to the bunny poop, the picture you have at 7:04 is from "guide-bunny-poops". While you're absolutely right that consistency of their poops is important, the bottom ones are supposed to be the healthy ones where they do easily fall apart and this is a quote about the top ones from their site; "Darker, more moist poops may be a sign that your bunny is getting too much protein in their diet."
This channel has helped my bunny so much she went from a cage to playpen now is soon going to be freeroamed! 🐇💕
Being lethargic, not eating or drinking. While I was working at a pet store there was a rabbit that I became attached to and she had started to bond with me. One day I wasn't able to give her as much attention as it was a busy day, the following day she was laying down much more than usual and was refusing to eat and drink. I picked her up and gave her some cuddles while checking her temp making sure she wasn't too cold or hot. After putting her down cause we got a customer, she went right back to normal playing eating and drinking 😊
I was lucky enough to be offered a bunny about two weeks ago. My sister and her gf were moving in together, and my sister has a cat. As soon as they asked me, I started researching and learned about free roaming. I researched a week straight, and listened to your videos while I worked from home.
I adopted him for free, and got everything he needed with him, but switched out some of what they had for him thanks you your suggestions. We already love him SO much, he’s a lion head and his name is Oswald and he’s a super sweet bunny.❤😊
Btw, my sister’s gf paid $300 for him and he was at a pet store. It makes me sad to think how he was most likely “cared” for while at the store 😞
My Lilly is a Chinchilla breed and she is the best bunny a person can ask for. I always had small bunnies who hated to be picked up or too play outside their pens. Lilly is free roaming in the living room, she loves it. When I have to go out she usually lays in front of the door waiting for me to get home. She hates it when I go out. She is my partner in crime. I try to get her to come in other rooms with me but she hates the hardwood floors. I sleep on the couch just so 😂can be near her 24/7. I keep telling her we're going to start sleeping in the bedroom soon. She is also my guard bunny, she checks out everyone who comes into my house. I can't ever imagine life without her❤❤❤❤
hi!im buying bunny this week and super nervous...if it werent for you my future rabbit would have a tiny cage, watter bottle, no hay, no litter box ect. you helped me so much!!
Hows your rabbit doing?
I took a selfie with one of my buns and the other started thumping until I took pics of him, I tried to stop and he thumped some more. So we did a photoshoot until he was bored lol. That's how you get 100's of pics of a bunny on your phone
i miss my bunny :(
I miss mine too 🕊️
Same here 😢
Adopt a bonded pair? ❤ And I'm sorry 😔

This video really hit close to home. And this is coming from me (a semi-expert)
My rabbit has food aggression
When I leave my bunnies area of the house he has always(since getting him two years ago) lunged at my feet. I always thought it's cuz he wants me to stay 😅 so when I lay on the bed in his room recently he's been digging up the blanket lunging at me,that's how we play sometimes,I thought it was a game because he often does binkies throughout this playtime🤔 recently he has been hiding more, but eats great,etc I just think as he's aging he is wanting day time to rest and when I go see him throughout day time,he acts like I'm bugging him,as soon as night falls he's happy to play/hang out. So overall I think my bunnies happy and he definitely does get upset with me for clipping his nails because he thumps and then flicked me off ever since he was a baby bun
Lorelei, I hope that you can make an educational video on epilepsy on rabbits. My rabbit was recently diagnosed with idiopathic seizures. I think this would be a really good topic. People usually don't associate seizures with rabbits, but this condition also impacts them and just I am learning to manage her condition, others can learn about it too.
My bunny thumps when we get up and stop petting him, he then waits for someone to sit down so he can hop to them and get more pets.
I just rescued a bunny that a family friend’s neighbor let go free and I’m trying to cram in all information about bunnies….so helpful thanks Lennon!
My bunny lost a littermate recently and this is helpful! I’ve been keeping an eye on him, and he seems to be doing better. Flopping, running around and binkying, following me, eating, getting excited to do tricks, licking me, etc. I think he actually got more attached to me, but he’s now more scared of other people. I socialized him a lot and he loved to be around anyone when his littermate was alive. I’m a little concerned and hope he doesn’t become aggressive towards others. I’m not sure what to do about it.
My rabbit recently lost a littermate, too. My pair was inseparable. After the littermate passed, she was sad for a few days but then got better she started following me around just like yours, but I knew she loved having a friend, so I got another rabbit. All bonding processes are different, but the new rabbit thumped at her for 1 hour, but she didn't care. She wanted to be friends with her. Now they are best friends, and you can't split them up for anything. Maybe you should get another rabbit.
@@heart_for_you2 I know, and I wish I could do that. But I’m a teenager & live under my dad’s roof still, and he doesn’t want to get another rabbit. I’m already surprised we were able to get the two we had before because he doesn’t like pets. Thank you for the advice, though!
@dot. gotcha! I live with my parents too and it was hard as well. Hopefully, everything goes well for you! 🙏 the only other thing you can really do is spend as much time with him as possible and buy him toys to help keep him entertained (which I'm sure you do). Have a good day!
I am fostering two boy-buns (that were originally born in the wild but it was a complicated situation and they needed to be rescued at like 1-2 weeks old). They absolutely hate being touched. They are really happy together and they binky and get the zoomies late in the evening and they always beg for treats. They are totally fine with being around my feet but as soon as my hands come near (without a treat they can grab and run away with) they back off and stare at me like I am being crazy.
I always feel like I traumatise them when I need to catch them to bring them to the vet or when I need to check their claws and teeth and stuff.
I hope they’ll get a long-term home that respects their boundaries and accepts them for who they are honestly because I don’t think they will learn to love being pet
I love your videos Lorelai!! You have helped me become a better bun mom and now my rabbit lives a happy life❤️ best wishes to you and Lennon🫶🏻

Thank you so much for this amazing, informative video! I love all your videos. I think there's one thing you missed: A rabbit screaming. This means that the bunny is very terrified and you should find the cause of why and comfort the rabbit instantly. But yeah, my bunny and I are great fans of yours!
I want to share my experience here, maybe is useful for someone else! I have 3 rabbits, they free roam the whole house and the two terraces 24/7 as they please, I buy them the best hay and food I can find, they also have lots of different toys of all kinds and we love and respect them very much. One of them is very cautious with open spaces and with humans (including me and anyone), he prefers to move around walking under furniture (tables, chairs, tunnels etc) where he feels safer, he always gets tense when we aproach him, usually getting away if you're not carrying any food. It sounds bad but we came to realize that's just how he is. On the other hand he is very affectionate with the other bunnies, loves to stick around them and give or recieve kisses, he flops all day long around the whole house and in his favourite spots, even in the same room with us or very close to us, he just doesn't feel comfortable with human interaction. It's been a year since we adopted him and of course it improved but I doubt he'll ever change this behaviour and suddenly act with us like the other bunnies. And we don't mind as long as he is happy and healthy. Every bun has it's own personality and life experiences (all my 3 buns are adopted from different situations) and it doesn't always mean that you're doing something bad or that the rabbit is unhappy.
Lennon the Bunny 🐰 🐇 is so adorable! Bunnies 🐰 like dogs 🐕 probably won't enjoy fireworks like you do!
I have two bunnies and I have taken lots of tips from your channel and it has helped a lot! However one of them hates pets and is always shaking and breathing heavily lmao, I've taken him to the vet numerous times and he is okay! I think he is just like this, because he binkies normally and flops around all of the time. It always looks like he is scared but since I adopted him he's always been doing that so I'm used to it by now.
Keep all the buns happy! ❤❤❤
I adopted my 2 yo dwarf bunny Hopscotch and have had him 5 months. He was initially skittish/fearful due to his abusive past, but because of your videos, he came around super fast within a few days!! He's now in training for an AKC trick title :3 He knows 19 tricks!! he's super smart & social now. He is completely free roamed of course (again, thanks to you ♡). Even though my husband and I both work from home, i plan on getting him a bun friend asap. ^o^ I always feel awful leaving him alone when we go somewhere rabbits aren't allowed. I bought him a stroller for when we go shopping. :D
IT is good for your bunnie to give him companion. That's very necessary for every bunny. Shopping tours etc is not suitable for bunnies because they are fearful animals. Get him a friend from a shelter and I wish you good luck
Thank for that informative and helpful video! I was also quite impressed with the emphatic quality of Lennon's 'foot flick'.
when my sister's bunny escaped i had to sit down wait for a long time because i didn't want walk up to it and accidentally scare it but eventually it got comfortable enough for me to get up and pick it up
I followed your advice, instructions etc... I've been following your blog for over a year now.
Now I & my brother have a bunny (each) that is SPOILED.
Mine don't mind been picked up. By day three he just plops on the ground comfy.
My brother's bunny is a spoil brat. Demands attention and gives kisses when attention is given. She's a girl bunny. And spreads out her hind leg & sleeps like there's no fk to give. 😂 (within 2 weeks!)
Both bunny trusts us and owns our own. Potty training is a little challenging but other wise they are are doing great. 👌
My bunny thumps when I'm telling him that he can't have more treats or my sweets, he definitely isn't unhappy, just disappointed that I'm not doing everything like he wants 😂
I will say about bites, there is a difference between a warning nip, or asking you to move, and an actual bite meant to hurt. Remember rabbits could easily break skin and cause bleeding if they really want to!
Im watching this now since i got a bunny recently, in the past ive had a bunny, me and my mom thought that our bunny is happy but then i realizwd back then we tranced him and he bites the corners of wooden poles, we thought it was normal but turns out hes unhappy, everytime we past by he always runs to us, possibly asking for attention. I wish i watched your videos before, im gonna try to take care of my current rabbit properly now
Do some of you guys just keep refreshing lennons channel every day to be they first to see her videos
How about a video "11 Signs Your Rabbit is Just Plain Nuts!"
Caye grunts and nips at me when I'm using the brush and dustpan to clean up strap poops. I'm trying to figure out if it's the bright red color, the motion, the sound, or that she's miffed because I'm stealing her precious poop. Plum will nip all my fingers, one by one, after treat time to make sure they're not edible.
Thanks so much for the information! My rabbit seems very happy, and adorable every day! Love your videos so much ❤
i’m so glad my bunny isn’t depressed but I know he flicks his feet at my boyfriend and it’s so funny
I’m rescuing a baby from breadbox farm in nc in 2 weeks so I’ve been bingeing you lol
Bet ifu did pressure a career as a rabbit vet it would be an amazing adventure to watch , and also bet u might find someone actually passionate in the same way u are along the way girl 🎉
Thanks for this! I'm trying to have a better relationship with my rabbit and these really helped!
You might want to change the title of the video... it says 11 signs but there were only 10.
One of my babies died in my arms yesterday and since they've been together since birth im worried i might lose the other one too. I heard its good for them to explore new environments so me and my family have basically completely free roamed him though at night we only let him roam in my bedroom. I got him a tunnel with a house connected to his pen and a bunch of toys to keep him distracted from his loss but im still worried about everything and mostly his health. Please leave suggestions (my mom said she has a few friends with bunnies and maybe she could bring them over some time so he gets to socialize)
Thank you for this vid! I finally convinced my dad to take Sailormoon to the vet for a check-up Friday ( I also got outta school early, lol) and she is perfectly healthy! Which I was slightly traumatized from Cleo's teeth overgrowing (my bun who passed exactly 2 months ago...) I was scared Sailormoon's teeth would be overgrown as well, but she's ok. 💕 I plan to adopt her a fren since her little sis passed. Once school gets out, that is....then she'll have another bud to keep her company 🥰 Once again thx for the videos you post, your channel has changed my life in the course of three years! I became a Lenny April of 2020 :)
The same thing happened to my bun (RIP Bacon 🥺)
@@selahdamerville4039 Aww, yes, rest in peace little Bacon 🐰♥️
I like the font, the spiral scene changer, colors and everything in the video template
My bun lost her partner a couple of weeks ago just adopted a boy to bond with her so here’s hoping it goes well
Well, Wyatt is aggressive and a bit Anti-Social but he doesn't seem unhappy. I can still improve on his care though.
My baby will thump, but no so much anymore or he used to nip or even bite me, but that had to do if I would stop petting him, the thumping when he was hungry and I missed his snack time or meal time. Babies need attention all of the time and that means giving them their space.
My bunnies would turn their back to me when they were annoyed 😅
Hey, I long my bunny just under 48 hours ago.. its pains me to say this but I MISS HIM! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND! I WATCHED MY BEST FRIEND DIE! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I FEEL LIKE COMMITTING IDK WHAT TO DO HE IS THE REASON I AM STILL ALIVE AND HE WASNT EVEN 2!!
This really helps me, my rabbit seems so sad. We are getting him a friend tho.
My rabbit is only a menace to society when he’s on my bed. But when he’s off of my bed running around or in his enclosure, he’s a good boy
Ms. Lennon! The only bunny I love aside from myself 😂 And beautiful Lorelei ♥️ Thank you, Dear, you both are loved 🥰
I miss my bunny because he was so cute ,playful , friendly and kind but my dad gave it to someone else because he didn't want to do the cleaning
Hi Lorelei I was wondering if you could answer my question. My bunny, Cleo, whenever she is all flattened out on the floor and I'm petting her, or if she's all flattened out on top of her box, she is always breathing very heavily and I'm not sure why. Whenever I AM petting her, she leans into it and seems content but does shake with her heavy breaths. She will also occasionally out of the blue be very very scared of anyone. Any advice is appreciated! Note; she is a rescue and was found on the side of the road, and was initially very very shy
My rabbits ears are naturally drooping down. She kind of has a hair style with it. Ever since I’ve got her, she’s had ears that droop down. She only lifts them when I touch her ears or her tail
My boy is a happy boy ❤
Wilma, the 1st rabbit I've owned, was a butterscotch Holland Lop. I was gone for almost 2 weeks. During this time a very close friend of mine checked on her twice a day.
That wasn't nearly enough, because when I returned from the trip she quickly hopped away and went between the sofa and an end table. When I tried to coax her to come out she leaped and bit me.
Message received. "Get away from me you world traveler. You left me here alone and I'm ticked off!"
I was wondering if there was any tricks to litter training an older rabbit like a 2-4 year old one? I don’t know where to start
That moment I can’t free roam by rabbit at the moment because he got an ear infection. I’m slowly increasing his play area once I see he’s comfortable but he’s now having difficulty walking on hard wood and my whole house is hard wood 😢. I bought play mats and that’s how I increase his play area but he doesn’t seem upset and I spoil him with all the attention.
Always pay attention to the needs of your bunny, please. I missed something on mine a month ago and I had to get him put to sleep. Im still so so so angry at myself, I dont know when ill heal and find peace for my mistake, but I know it will be a long time.
It's always painful when we fail our furry friends. We can't forgive ourselves and we continue to hold on to the pain. But if you turn to the Lord Jesus He can heal your broken heart. His forgiveness and love is the only thing that can change your life and give you true peace in your soul. I experienced this when I turned to Him almost six years ago - He changed my life and the life of the bunny rabbit in my care for the better. You can't undo what you did in the past but God can help you have a better future. God is teaching me how to love and take care of animals better and to understand them.
Gosh my rabbit flips his feet at me all the time lol mostly when I give him treats
Are rabbits often unhappy??
Unless you obviously give them a lot of love and support
Another great video Lorelei.
I adopted a bun in June and he is very skittish, so I do my best to respect his space and allow him to approach me/spend time around me only when he wants to. I have a female bunny around the same age for 3 years now and she is very social/clingy in comparison. They get along great, cuddle up and he even follows her around like a lovestruck bun! Nowadays he lets me pet him, but not usually for long, and lets me pick him up for nail trims and grooming. Otherwise he just likes to watch from afar, chill next to the girl bun, or hang out in his pen. He does come out for treats but is cautious to see if I’ll make any sudden movements, before coming out for food. As he likes to mostly stay with the girl bun or in his pen, am I doing the right thing by giving him his space or should I take more initiative in bonding with him? Does he sound depressed? I know he didn’t have the best experience beforehand so I don’t want to push anything, but now I’m thinking maybe he’s depressed and would actually benefit from more attention from me.. (Their pens are always open by the way, they can free roam as they choose. Also I work from home so I’m always around)
My other bunny lost her partner, but she isn't sad about it because the bunny was so sick that she chased her a lot and bit her. She is now more relaxed and wants attention.
I was watching a video about rabbits and their living habits from lennon the bunny and I agree that keeping a rabbit in a hutch is wrong now the issue is I’m from the UK so the rescue centres here don’t agree with the idea of free roaming like when they make them bunnies profile they add wether the bunny likes to be outside or indoors and to me that is also wrong because as much as each bunny has a different personality it’s just wrong to keep them outside yes you can grant your bunny supervised access to the garden etc. But unfortunately in the uk they won’t let you adopt a rabbit without a hutch and a run. Me being me and feeling strongly against that I messaged the rescue centre by email and it turned into a major argument or disagreement I tried to express to them that it’s wrong to tell customers who want to adopt a bunny to buy a hutch with a run first and I gave them details to why meaning I told them that having a hutch for a bunny can cause them issues such as weight gain and loneliness and it can also cause them anxiety as they are outside around other animals that are known predators. But of course because it is England and they don’t have rules for bunnies the rescue centre decided to tell me to just practically shut up as they know what is right for each bunny.. it made me soo angry and frustrated but than I remembered that it’s the UK and there is nothing else I can do it’s just soo upsetting that we as people especially the country I live in don’t seem to understand anything all the UK cares about is making money
Thank you for more bunny info! ❤
I remember when my bunny peppers partner passed she was depressed and very distant. She wouldn’t come out of a corner and I was worried cuz she was close to falling off but I couldn’t get to her
What does it mean when a bunny, 12 weeks old, comes by himself onto your lap while you are sitting on the floor and accepts pets, then ‘digs’ your clothes and nips at your clothes? I have had him for 3 weeks and he is otherwise very sweet and friendly. Really appreciate any insight x
Omg i’m so happy you upload!! 🥺🥺🐰
My rabbit for some weird reason always chews on my clothes only when they are the color blue. I don't know if this is a bad thing or he just likes chewing on blue things
I miss my bunny all 3 died :(
Aww I’m so sorry
My condolences
I’m sorry for you but how sorry if I sound a bit rude if you don’t want to tell me I am ok with that

A jaki był powód że nagle wszystkie ile miały lat co dałeś im do zjedzenia bo to jest podejrzane ztwojej strony króliczki powinni mieć ludzie co mają wiedzę na królicze sprawy cieszy mnie komentarz jak ktoś pisze że jego króliczek ma 14 lat to znaczy że ta osoba bardzo dbała i kochała swojego króliczka.........................
I have a free roaming bunny lily in my room however I have some nic grids blocking her from getting excess to the whole apartment and she often bits it and rattles it or try’s to jump out when I take it a grid lower and I think she does this so she can go explore the house but I don’t know how I can make her happy because she has lots of space to run and toys and I spend time with her but I don’t know how to prevent her from rattling the bars. Anyone have any suggestions?
I’m a (perhaps overly paranoid) first time bunny owner and my girl’s ears go back when she flops down next to me when im petting her. She closes her eyes and doesn’t seem stressed at all so is this always a sign of unhappiness? Is she just fully relaxed?😅
Can you do a video on how to trem their nails It is always a struggle with mine And mine's big too
My rabbit, is jumping at me and biting me. Need to get gim spayed but not a lot of Vets will do it. Hopefully this will calm him.
9th sign came I suddenly started crying by seeing that Bunny....... 😢
And also can bunny live close to small reptiles like geckos and skinks?
I love your videos so much❤ you have helped me so much btw how is lennon and how are you hope you have a Good day❤❤❤

I have this one question, I recently adopted a bunny, I already had one so i just wanted a partner for him. this little new bunny, he chins me, sleep on my lap, always around me if i'm on the floor, even follow me to the toilet always, listen to my words as well, but he always nips me, whenever he see my hands, he always do, it's never the bite, he never licked me either but he always chin me and nips me, Can u please suggest how can i stop his nipping, it does hurt a bit.
My bun is always thumping after she gets picked up. Lol
I love your videos. I need help with my bunnies, though.
we bought 2 rabbits so they could be together and they wouldn't feel alone. for a few weeks it went well and now they bite each other every time they would be together. now one of the rabbits feels alone but we are not going to gamble on buying a third rabbit and then sitting with 3 if it not clicks
Are they neutered/spayed? My rabbits had this problem and we had to keep them separate but after they got spayed and neutered they live happily as besties
@@nikkic8855 only the male
I used to have bunnies, and everyday, I was learning something new from this channel, sadly, my bunnies are no longer in the world 😭
I'm sooo sorry for your loss 😢
@@Winny45317 it’s been a few years since my bunnies passed away, but the loss still hurts me :((
Lorelei you are my role model ❤my bunny minchu and I have only made it so far thanks to you. Thank you so much 💗 and as always love you and lennon so much ❤❤❤
Most important sign: you have only one rabbit. They need company from at least one other rabbit.
No. My Rabbit disliked ALL other rabbits. Just as some people prefer to be alone, or prefer to be an only child, so do some pets. If you have a very close bond, your pet will ignore your other pets! My friend has 3 cats who can't stand each other, though you'd think they'd love a nap buddy!
I adopted my rabbit at the spca of my city, he was ''know to hate children's and being scared of them'', I have a 3 year old and they where like be really careful of your child not being hurt. He was anxious and territorial, dit bite me multiple times and my daughter too. But i work with him. He was not scared of children and did not hate them. He love my daugther now, but he was not fixed before going to spca. And his bad attitude did not last long after we got him. He is a good free roam rabbit that dont bite anymore. But he stump when something dont make it happy. Like when i say his name and what his doing is bad. Like: pompom stop eating that toy. the toy is never his and always like the favorite toy of my daugther.
i love your videos!❤
I rescued a rabbit from being dumped in the woods at our neighborhood,my husband and I kept her/him,we have a vet appointment for this Saturday,to know the gender of our rabbit,she/him is pretty good at times on urinating on the pee pads but she/him misses at time she’s been pooping everywhere,we have watched your videos and got her a litter box with the pee pad in it and the alfalfa hay but she/him has no care for it we have taken the cover off the litter box,but it’s a no go,I’m tired of cleaning up when I get home especially the urine,I’m pressure she/him has not been fixed yet,please help what advise should you give us?
My rabbit is 5 years old and refuses to leave her cage even though the door is always open. ive tried to litter train her and she just wont do it she doesnt care for the litter box at all. When i offer her treats she doesnt want them and she just puts her head down so i can pet her. Idk what to do because she like refuses to learn any commands or be active or pretty much do anything. She wont bite or harm a fly but she also doesnt play with anything unless she flips a lid repeatedly. Idk what else to do im stuck and it’s frustrating
One of my rabbits definitely has a psychological problem. After getting a second rabbit (younger, more lively) the older and more shy one got really unhappy, biting her cage (even when she was outside of it) making specific sound as if she's angry. And I have no idea what to do. I can't possibly get them separated or give them more space than they already have. There were couple of months, when they got along just fine, but something (I don't know what) happened and they are back to hating each other :(
a proper rebonding might be needed! this is not that uncommon actually
Lorelai I really need your help.. me and my parents just got a bunny with my sisters and I feel so bad for her because I thought she’d be Liveing a better life here but the original owners sent her with her cage she’s been Liveing in for 7 years and my parents think it’s okay since she’s lived tere all her life and they think “we saved her” but I feel like she’s really depressed and u happy but my parents think shes helthy because she als like it I feel so bad and it makes me want to give her to someone else that will tale better care of her but I love her so much and I don’t know what to do I can’t stop crying because I feel so bad for her and I keep telling my parents it’s bad for her but they keep saying I’m wrong and that she is happy and healthy I don’t want to do please say something.
If the bunnies get much vegetables and grass rhe poo will be smaller and darker. If they eat much hay the poo is bigger and it is brown
I have holland flops and it is so difficult to navigate their feelings without ears that move around like most breeds.
Any advice?
I have a holland lop, too. Every bunny is different, but mine bites my shoes (very gentle) to let me know she wants something. Other than signs like certain noises, gentle bites that don't hurt at all, and thumping, there is really no other way. (She has never thumped at me, though)
grunts and stomping when they are annoyed, angry or scared
@cay k yes! My rabbits don't do that. I just was giving information! Thank you though! Have a good day
For all the amazing tips!
I will use all of your advice when i get my bunny. Whitch i will get hopefully soon❤
Rabbit ears that are straight up mean that the rabbit is curious or alert and rabbit ears that are not straight up, not tense and back usually indicate that the rabbit is relaxed or content?
Lovely video but I have a question are you going to bunny fest again this year???
I got a question on identifying ears! I got two little lop eared bunnies, so they do not move their ears as normal rabbits, how do i identify behaviour in lops?
Thanks for the tips ❤
my bunny is a little odd, he's affraid of heights so will not jump up onto anything other than the bed, he will not destroy furniture, cards, or cables. He hates hiding in dark places (i have to keep a night light on for him) and at night he jumps into bed with me and cuddles until i fall asleep, i then hear him jump down onto the floor when he thinks im asleep and starts doing bunny sprints back and forward across the room... he's completely free roam, no cages. Sometimes when i go to work and I come back late, he's sitting on the bed waiting for me to cuddle him with judging eyes... I think i should get him a companion but im affraid another bunny wont be as laid back and would end up scaring him.
Awwwh he sounds so adorable. It’s always a bonus when rabbits don’t go into high places. Less risk of injuries and accidents.
Don't rock the boat! He sounds completely happy with the situation
