    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. 🫶

    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 :)

    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 😊

    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❤❤❤❤

    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.❤😊

    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.

    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

    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.

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 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 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

    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

    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

      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.

    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.

    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

    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)

      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!

    Very useful info! Can you male a video about behaviours of an old rabbit? What they start doing when they age? Mine changed his behaviours with old age, he couldn't follow the litterbox anymore and peed and pooped everywhere around, despide having been litterbox trained. He became incontinent perhaps? Was he stressed?
    Also he didn't have much energy and during all his life he never played with the chewable toys we got him. My bunny had everything, except for one thing: stimulation. We ourselves were a very busy and tired family and when we were athome we didn't have the energy to interact on the ground with him much, and therefore he played but not enough

    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.

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.
