14 Common Mistakes Rabbit Owners Make

In this video, we will talk about the 14 most common mistakes that rabbit owners make.
Bathing your rabbit
Rabbits are very clean animals and they never need a bath.
If your rabbit doesn’t clean itself properly, it could be a sign that they need a visit to the vet.
Bathing your rabbit can be harmful because rabbits may panic and fracture their spine or a limb if they thrash around. Bathing is very stressful for most rabbits and can cause respiratory infections and even heart attacks. And your rabbit may develop hypothermia
And remember, a rabbit’s skin is very sensitive and delicate. Bathing them strips away the natural oils on their body and irritates their skin.
If your rabbit needs to be cleaned, you must only spot-clean them, or give them a dry bath.
Feeding them too many carrots and fruits
In the wild, rabbits don't naturally eat root vegetables or fruit.
Carrots and fruit are high in sugar and should only be given to bunnies as occasional treats in small amounts.
As a rule of thumb, an approximate amount of fruit to feed your rabbit is one teaspoon per 2 pounds of body weight per day.
And believe it or not, some light-colored lettuce, like iceberg, contains lactucarium and can be harmful to your rabbit
Darker, fibrous and more leafy varieties of lettuce, like romaine lettuce should be fed, as they are higher in actual nutrients and fiber.
Likewise, muesli should never be fed to rabbits as it can cause health problems in bunnies.
Keeping rabbits outside
The outdoors is full of dangers for pet rabbits.
Not bunny proofing your house
Some rabbits can be trouble makers. They may chew on the objects around your home, or dig into carpeted floors. Rabbit-proofing your home is a must for protecting both your pet and your belongings.
Make sure to cover your exposed wires with plastic sleeves or flex tubing. Seal off spaces behind and beneath furniture and cabinets, and wrap your wooden table or chair legs with flex tubing.
And it is important to keep any houseplants out of the reach of your bunny. Many plants are toxic to rabbits, and rabbits’ instincts don’t always guide them about what plant is safe for them.
Not Spaying or Neutering Your Rabbit
Spaying or neutering your bunny also lowers the risk of reproductive cancer and urinary tract infections. In particular, female rabbits are in danger. If they have not been spayed, they have 80% chance of facing uterine cancer by the time they are 6 years old.
High Temperatures
Rabbits prefer temperatures of about 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. And temperatures above 85 degrees are hazardous to domesticated bunnies as they can easily develop a heatstroke.
Wrong diet
Rabbits should have a constant, unlimited supply of high-quality grass hay, such as Timothy, orchard or brome, to graze on throughout the day.
Feeding too many pellets can make your rabbit overweight and may cause problems with their digestion. Your rabbit will likely beg for more treats, but don’t give in!
A very small litter box
A rabbit’s litter box should be big enough so they can sit within the litter and turn around without a problem.
Proper litter boxes can be found in the cat section. But remember, most cat litters contain clays and chemicals that are harmful to rabbits. Clay-based litters are very dusty and can cause respiratory problems in bunnies. Instead, it’s best to use a paper-based litter, or simple plain hay.
Small Enclosures
Your rabbit should either live in a bunny-proofed space, or in a large exercise pen. They should be able to run back and forth, and have separate spaces to sleep, eat, and use the bathroom.
Lack of attention
Interestingly enough, rabbits are prey animals and evolved to hide their weaknesses or illnesses. This can prevent them from appearing as an easy target to stalking predators.Any change in their posture, eating, grooming, urination habits, or even increased aggression or a lack of energy, can be a sign of illness.
Lack of socialization
Rabbits are very social animals and they need daily interaction and socialization.
Ideally bunnies should be kept in pairs - but if you have a single rabbit, then make sure the company comes from you. A lonely bunny can suffer from depression, stress and boredom.
Trusting the pet store
Most pet stores don’t have aisles dedicated to rabbits. In fact, rabbits’ supplies are often put in the same sections as hamsters, guinea pigs, or rats. However, rabbits are actually quite different from all these animals.
Using a water bottle
It’s not easy for rabbits to drink water from a water bottle, and lack of water can cause dehydration or kidney disease in bunnies.
Eye catchy pellet mixes
Many eye-catchy pellet mixes marketed toward rabbits contain sugary pieces, seeds, peas, and other ingredients that often lead to an unhealthy rabbit digestive system and obesity. Instead, give your rabbit just those plain, boring-looking pellets, and your rabbit will love you for it.

[@juliakay6204]

I have a few things to add. 1. Bunnies don’t like to be held. They are prey animals and it stresses them out. Instead sit on the floor, bed or couch with him. Your bunny will bond with you and start licking you to show his love. 2. Never place a bunny on its back, it makes her think she’s being attacked. 3. Bunnies have delicate skeletons so be careful when putting one down because they may jump too soon (because they don’t like being held). 4. If you have hard floors, put down rugs or yoga mats for your bunny to run and hop on. Hard floors can cause them joint pain and it’s just difficult for them to get around on. Rabbits are incredibly fun, sweet and very intelligent creatures. They are wonderful pets but they do require a bit of effort so never get one impulsively or for a child thinking they are an easy pet like a hamster. But creating the right environment is worth it. I wouldn’t trade my bunny for anything.

[@N3RD_Sky]

my rabbit doesnt care if hes being held and will not try and jump away even if im holding him very lightly but i also have other rabbits who do hate being held (usually the female rabbits are more scared/dont want to be held)

[@cptnKirk]

Ours go though different stages: 1) begging, going up your leg, 2) getting all excited over nothing, so you fear letting them down if you don't give them a snack 3) glaring at you with a very, very disappointed look. Makes you ask yourself who knows who better.

If you use a bowl of water keep an eye on how dry their fur is under their neck and behind their ears. My longer haired bun wasn't able to keep himself dry so he developed a skin infection in those areas.

[@vixxxenfoxxx3660]

Thank you for this information, especially the added private story part. We recently began fostering 3 litters, one being long haired. The entire long haired litter have been breaking out around the chin area. We have added a few water bottles into their room and they seem to prefer that over water dishes. It's only been 3 days but I did want to find this comment so I could express my gratitude.

[@paulinebara602]

Giving more littles advices: -It's important to not put your rabbit lying on his back, it's a posture of domination and it makes it stressful for him -do not pet or hold them too much, let them come to you when they want (like cats) He gonna feel safer around you and will show you more affection (ps: some rabbits doesn't like to be pet or hold at all, it's a question of time and truste) -It's not a gift! Surely not for kids! Like any other animal, it's important to take in perspective before you take it in your life and you need self control and sense of responsibility when you have a rabbit -it takes a long time to learn something to your rabbit! You should not talk to him loudly or spanking him (it would distroy all your trust work with him) Ex: when he pees or make circles take him gently with a soft/baby talk and put him in his liter with his circles and pee on a sheet of paper (sopalin) and congratulates him It gonna take some time but he gonna make a link in a positive way with his liter

[@hayleywright2966]

Their pee is very strong in ammonia and can burn their skin just by sitting in a dirty potty, so you made a great decision to change more frequently

[@jenniferr.charest-rodrigue1469]

Tragically misunderstood. Incredibly intelligent. Unbelievably clean-although messy lol (there’s a difference). Wildly curious and mischievous. Before becoming a bunny owner, I hadn’t a clue about them. Like so many others, I believed in tons of misconceptions. I was surprised to learn that they aren’t classified as rodents…or that they roam free…or that they can be litter- trained....or that they even required hay as the bulk of their diets. My 1st bunny came into my life by sheer coincidence, fate, chance-whatever you want to call it. And although I've owned dogs and am a huge dog lover, the relationship I have with my bunnies is so very different. I speak to them, and they speak to me. I know that sounds crazy, but I think the majority of bun owners would agree. The understanding is unspoken yet speaks volumes. They understand me and I them. People thought I was losing my marbles until they witnessed instances for themselves. They're considered high maintenace, but that depends more on the individual owner than the bun. It's all about how much you're willing to commit to the dedication of raising them properly....by following this video as a guide...doing research...making minor adjustments... I met a woman in line at DQ who owned bunnies. Mine were beside me in their stroller. We got to talking about the care we provide when she actually told me that hers don't eat hay. "Hay is messy," she said. Besides, the vet told her she didn't need to feed them hay (yeah, okay). Animals are messy. Kids are messy. Don't have them if you can't deal with the time, money, and care it takes to raise them RIGHT. Oh, yeah, and adults are messy, too.

[@Marianna2877]

Exactly! Can't deal with mess don't have them. Because many animals actually very neat. Putting hay in a right size container is actually make a difference, I used the plastic container that actually from the kitchen storage area, I used it for the turtle bath too, both animals love the box.

Excellent examples! I have five house bunnies and have fostered over 50 rabbits, myself. This is one of the most concise videos on mistakes commonly made by bunny slaves aka owners. Thank you! I’m sharing on my FB! Oh and on the subject of litter boxes, I’ve found that portable potting bins or cement mixing bins are AWESOME litter boxes if you have two or more bunnies. One potting bin I’ve found at a mass hardware store has a low front which allows older bunnies to comfortably access the litterbox, and easily fits two bunnies at once with room to spare. And they are only $9!! The two I have have survived 3 yrs with regular cleanings. Large stoneware dog bowls make great water bowls for bunnies. And I use kids wire hanging wall baskets (from Target) for hay bins, and place them at litter box rim level on the wall. Kitty tunnels are awesome for play areas for bunnies, and for toys I like to get baby teething toys like plastic keys or use toilet paper cardboard rolls stuffed with Timothy hay and pellets (pellets act as a treat when they fall out during play).

We had a rabbit that was 13 years old which is ancient for a rabbit. The last couple of years, he had a lot of health issues due to his age. We had to bathe him 'cause he couldn't groom himself well anymore which stressed him out but he LOVED bathing. We just used lukewarm water and sometimes special soap in a kitchen bowl and it was always so adorable. He always got so happy when it was special care time. He passed quietly at 13.5 years of age on my sister's (his owner) lap but he's still a legend; the vet still talks about him all the time.

It can be stressful to hamsters to still have to be in contact with something that gave them fear or stress.

this is the only video i’ve seen that i 100% agree with!! i want to thank you, i am a bunny parent who appreciates this. i hope this helps new bun parents be the best parents!

[@ellxiethegirlellie]

Them: “JuSt DoN’t gIvE tHeM lOtS oF tReAtS!” My Rabbit: “GIMME ANOTHER TREAT OR ME SCRATCH YOUUU!!”

[@shalacy6899]

Dang, based on my experience and research, MOST of these things are relevant for a Guinea pig as well. The bath thing is different but everything else seems the same Thanks for the vid!!

[@Sachin1671]

These are some really great advices. Some of these I follow as well regularly and haven't learned what not to do, the hard way.

[@myfirstloopfavourite47]

Films like that are must for many! Thank you!

[@angahtube7529]

this video is really helpful for me because i just got the bunnies a week ago and i learned a lot from this videos! love from Malaysia

[@kunsagita7556]

Hahahha the first Malaysian I come across to in all rabbits related videos I've seen. What breed did you get? I own 2 young Holland Lop

[@BryanTheFury]

Really.. that channel and those videos are the most accurate i ever heard in a long time..

[@haytreatsathome]

Lots of good insight in this video!! we would like to add that a lot of people think putting their bunnies on their back makes them relaxed and we’ve seen multiple channels promote this habit which is very dangerous for them. So many kids watch influencers and simply don’t have the knowledge to properly handle their pets.🐰💞

[@aquajuwel7098]

This is a very well made video! Very accurate and great information!

[@emleo48]

Glad to see how accurate this video is. Thank you for researching and not passing on inaccurate pet shop information.

My rabbits belike: ATTACKING THE BOWL OF WATER Edit: OMG thanks for all those likes!😊😊😊❤️❤️ Another edit😜: now he WILL drink from the bowl, but only when there’s water in it if not he is like: ATTACK THE BOWL OF WATER Im really sorry for my little one. She was lovely, but she died yesterday. I will always remember her as a smart, strong and beautiful full girl. Love you Bruintje❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alexahazelton2643]

My rabbit just jumps in the watter

[@igu9445]

Omg😂

[@igu9445]

Mine are quite wild, do not allow me to pick them, (which I wouldn’t want to so tho, because its not good for them) and escape when they can

[@priscillaortega8615]

Lol I just got a pet bunny she's 2 months old, and she is very shy she mostly likes eating the grass not pellets, and she doesn't stay in once place. She is in my room and I like her going everywhere but I think it's funny how she also goes under every furniture item I have.

[@igu9445]

Aww thats so nice! Mine live outside and are kind of wild, don’t allow picking up or something, not even sit on me, only petting is aloud;)

[@chloealexander1672]

My bunny luna is just back from the vet yesterday. He kept going into gut stasis due to lack of eating and i was thinking he wasnt eating enough hay but in actuality it was his teeth. They where wearing unevenly and causing sharp peaks that hurt his mouth! Its so important to keep that gut moving and having a mouth and ear scope and stethoscope from amazon really saved his life! Spot on with the facts here, rabbits are not beginner animals or cute easter gifts for your snotty kids! They need alot of maintenance and attention

[@FatimaMariam1]

Wow, I watched out of sheer curiosity just to see how inaccurate and bad it would be, but IT WASNT! GREAT JOB! This video's content was more accurate than many live KZbinr's! Well done!

[@heatherlynn4652]

Just putting plants up isn't always enough. My rabbit jumped up onto the table to knock down my peperomia. She ate the entire thing. Luckily it was a pet safe plant. How about instead of small enclosures just enclosures. Let your rabbit run around. At least during the entire day, and at least in an entire room

[@kitkatgaming345original7]

My rabbits have a MASSIVE hutch, it’s basically a shed

[@LauRa-re9un]

Mine walk all around the house, LOL. I have wires protected.

[@skyeiron5872]

Rabbits are crepuscular and more nocturnal than diurnal. Better to allow them to roam in a safe area at night.

[@swagmaster_knox7937]

such a well researched video! there is a lot of bad info about rabbit care online, i love to see great videos like this one!

[@alexdaly8360]

One tip that's held true for all but one of my rabbits is you can 'guide' them by strategicly placing rugs. They really do not like hard wood floors so you can generally keep them confined with just some clever laying out of carpet/rugs.

[@kimhayoon6066]

Yesterday i bought 2 rabbits and here I'm learning everything about them ☺️ i don't want them to suffer bcoz of me and I'm happy that we bonded very easily ✨

[@vettacz4186]

Fantastic and wise video. But basing on my experience I would like to add that beside good quality of hay it's also important to provide them branches, which are helpful in grinding their teeth and protect your furniture from being destroyed. Whats more, important thing to remember and respect is the fact that some rabbits hate being taken on hands.

[@popenieafantome9527]

Are bunnies the sort to have always growing teeth? Or are the branches more to give them something else to focus on?

[@peytondavey904]

Thank you so much! a lot of these tips helped!

[@UbnDub]

Thank You. Getting a rabbit in a few days and this helped a ton!

[@pparks8776]

This is all great info. I do want to share that my bunnies prefer a water bottle. I put out bowls of water but because they are lop-eared they don't like when their ears get wet. I have several water bottles in different locations and my bunnies love drinking their water.

[@angelapietras1235]

This is very good information , I have had rabbits all my life and this is really good advice.

[@madamoise765]

I gave my rabbit a bowl of water and he didn't know how to drink from it. he swallowed the air probably and in the evening he farted :'))

[@rayanal1514]

Lol

[@PapyPetitPois]

Oh god I remember how mine nuked a big living room Hope that you're fine hahaha

[@Denies1992]

That's strange because healthy rabbits do not fart. Hope everything is ok with your bunny!

[@debbieschultz9768]

I didn’t know they did that

[@stephr827]

I just got one and I want to know everything about them to take well care of my little one ❤️. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@nayanicatry-bauer6162]

Thank you so much for making this video!!!

[@rapidloaf]

Incredibly accurate and informative video. Every rabbit owner, or soon to be rabbit owner, needs to see this.

[@michellenevada]

I’m watching this when my bunny passed away on Christmas Eve =(

[@li-gp9no]

I am so sorry. Wish you the best! 💞

[@jathy_xli]

Awwww that’s so sad. I had one who died too. Hope you will feel better soon

[@littlelydia5895]

Awww 😰😰 that's so sad

[@teddycambo]

So sad my rabbit died in 2019 a few days before Christmas

[@laurendolding849]

My rabbit also died in December.. rip lottie

[@Aeque88]

This video (with some added topics that multiple comments address) should be a must to be shown to anyone who thinks of purchasing/adopting a rabbit.

[@yourlocal_tiana669]

I have 5 rabbits it should be having fun! Thanks for the information❤️

[@bookworm9968]

Thank you sooo much for saying exactly what I want to say

[@tsuyuasui1634]

My wabbit gets excited when we give her food and she knocked her water bowl over and broke it 😂

[@beautyrj1018]

I used to have a bunny but I couldn’t keep him long since our space at the time wasn’t the best for him 🥺 of course this was my first time taking care of them so I had no idea but I had to take him back to the pet store man that was the saddest day ever! Im planning on getting a bunny maybe after I graduate but I could use all the information I get to make sure they are as comfy as possible 💗🐰

[@snowmontgomery5961]

This video is so helpful thank you!

[@isabellejapan7819]

I'm so glad I'm doing everything right 😁

[@dileshamcwashington2430]

I dnt plan on fixing my bunny he's 1. Litter trained and doesn't have aggression or spraying or anything like that. I've considered it b4 but looking into it there the risk is lower without since hes male and solo pet. He gets daily attention too.

[@Luciasce]

Thanks for the video! I see so many mistreatment on instagram and facebook, people get a bunny pet and dont do any research about rabbits what so ever.

[@housepalmer]

I have a Flemish Giant and a Dwarf Lop. None of the litter boxes at the pet store were big enough for him whem he became full size so I bought a concrete mixing tub which works for his size, and allows for my Dwarf to be in there with him too.

[@Helena_phillips]

Thank you for doing your research before making this video. It shocks me how many influencers misslead people and spread miss information.

[@floralikestaylorswift]

This is true!

[@liss7649]

this was a very good video! especially for people interested in adopting

[@tylernagel1930]

My bunny absolutely loves taking warm bathes surprisingly. He likes how he feels afterwards.

[@krissystout4526]

my buns have an entire shed and other outdoor area that they can play in if they choose. i always have a fan on in the summer and always have 2 heat lamps on in the winter. im the summer i take out the warm blankets and substitute them for cooler/thinner ones. im the winter i do the opposite, i change the thinner ones to nice and warm ones.

[@avasloan8343]

My bunny is like a dog he is so social and he is free roamed but my friends bunnies are aggressive and live in a hutch so I am going to help her start free roaming them

[@rielwxn]

do you have any tips on making them free roamed?

[@devynarellano8702]

@@rielwxn hide the wires!

[@sparrow7277]

I knew most of this stuff already, but it’s very good! I personally don’t own any bunnies myself, but my best friend does and I help take care of them all the time :3

[@katherine_pearce]

I love this sm! Everything here is on-point ❤️🥰

[@aleighamacdonald-cope3905]

Well very true!! i’ve got 19 rabbits and they own half of the property outside haha they have the biggest cages and we’re getting new homes for them asap. Thank for the tips dude

[@3coolgecks124]

I'm so surprised this is correct! Good job!!!

[@tildeboo1448]

These fact are actually surprising accurate! Awesome to see corrected information being spread about rabbits for once :)

[@judithedwards8536]

I recently fostered a young Lionhead bunny for my local humane society. I fell in love with that sweet affectionate little guy. I cried when he was adopted by the most perfect family that has another Lionhead. I got attached to him the first day I brought him home. I plan to foster again soon. For several reasons I can't adopt another pet only foster. Yes, 🐰 do require maintenance but they're so worth it. A plus for me as a 50 year vegetarian is that they are veg too. 😊

[@emilyschaefer3171]

I never knew this until now just today one of my rabbits passed away so thank you for this information I will learn from what I did from the past and take the information I learned and use it

[@zipj]

My bunny had 5 babies 6 weeks ago and yesterday 1 died, it just laid down and was shaking for a few minutes and it didn’t have any control over it’s legs so we thought he hurt himself in some way. Today when we came out in the morning 2 of them lied dead and one was shaking on the floor.. Turns out they got a virus just one week before the vaccination even tho they are supposed to be immune until like week 12. It is so sad especially since we’ve been with them every day for at least an hour and they were like family members. Now we only have one left and I don’t wanna have high hopes but I’m praying so hard he’s not affected because if he his he’ll be dead by tomorrow probably... 😢

[@bhagwatisati_]

Thank you for the info😉. This will help me take care of my imaginary Bunny😂😅

[@absolutelyridiculous6743]

I'm thinking about getting myself a bunny in the near future, this is very helpful information.

[@paigee57]

THANK YOU for including the information about the pet stores. Not many people realize that. I’m also surprised that everything on here was accurate! I’m kind of confused though because most of the video clips and pictures were showing the opposite of what you were saying...

[@gwynethrachaelcooper1957]

My bunnies, Bill S. Preston, Esq and Ted Theodore Logan, Esq and I all agree that this is an excellent bunny video. Thank You 🐇💖🙂

[@bethanythebunny7662]

My Bunnie's used to live in hutches, have no space, get no attention, have a carrot a day, had musli and drunk out of bottles also they got no salad. Now they live in big sheds. Drink out of water bowl, fresh water, more hay, salad and no musli.

[@brownmoney27]

Thanks for this Richard Ayoade.

[@pixiedustboutiqueofminneso6723]

Good ideas. Love the table idea. I have 16 bunnies and they love my table and chairs. I am going to try that.
