8 Easy Techniques to Make Your Rabbit HAPPY

[@77Asilaydying]

At the beginning, I think ellie is getting more and more clever. I wonder if she thought if she gave a double high fives that she would get double the treats

[@AlanCanon2222]

I adopted a bunny from the family next door, an impulse purchase on Easter. I've been paying close attention to rabbit care KZbin channels, modeling his living space (which is the same as mine, he's free roam) after what I see in the videos. He has a big dog kennel as his base of operations, but the doors are open almost 100% of the time. He's doing great, he's binkying happily every day, and very social. When visitors come over he wants to be on the middle of everything. He tolerates being held in my arms as long as I'm stroking his head. I pick him up at least once a day, usually for no more than one or two minutes, so that he remains habituated to being handled. I give him a piece of banana very occasionally (around one banana per month), but until he is a year old, I'm mostly just keeping him on unlimited timothy hay and high raw protein pellets, because I don't want to stress his digestive system until he's grown. We have daily rituals of play and petting, but I am careful to let him do whatever he wants almost all the time. I let him outside on my front porch when the weather is nice, always directly supervised. He also has perches where he can look outside and see what's going on.

Mental enrichment for Rabbits- so important. Thank you for bringing that one up.

[@H.P.Blavatsky]

Treats, petting & don’t be an asshole. Got it.

Puzzle toys! My male hoover Hanny would win awards for sniff tests and can detect food from pretty complicated puzzle toys! Also a cardboard box with newspaper shredding and sprinkle dried treats and hay to dig in and forage.

I recommend Rabbits that Lunch. They have great toy and treat boxes. All kinds of themes, flavors, and enriching types of toys. Even bunny birthday cakes. And no harmful ingredients!!!

[@juliakay6204]

I love training my bunny. Rabbits are so smart, underestimated and misunderstood. I love that you are providing this important information.

[@pamelasample6627]

my bun is a female holland lop and is 14 months old. she likes the dried fruit that i get but absolutely refuses the real crunchy stuff and fresh fruit. i signed up for binxbox and she likes the treats they send usually. faves are apples and pineapple and also those you showed here the oxbow simple rewards. and a beggar she is for sure 😂 so i take one of the oxbow hearts and i break it up into several pieces and i do the same with the pineapple chunks so she thinks shes getting lots of treats when in reality not so much. trickery is my friend. thank you for your channel. ive learned a ton from you

[@LoveABun]

Have you bought the Oxbow Baked Treats lately? They USED to be wonderful… until they reformulated them to be ridiculously huge and thick! They no longer fit in a rabbit’s small, oval-shaped mouth. And they’re so thick and rock hard, it is virtually impossible to break a piece off that’s small enough for them to mouth and chew. Lots of people are complaining to the company as their bunnies will no longer eat them, but Oxbow is not listening. I’m sure the changes were to reduce their cost. ☹️ I now buy a very healthy, hay-based treat from an Etsy seller. They also contain a mixture of healthy greens and a small bit of fruit. My rabbit is bonkers over them and I feel good giving her something she enjoys that is nutritious for her.

[@henriettalee1116]

My rabbit loves going to sleep in a hammock sling I made that hangs round my neck, she does get startled when I go around doing chores or playing my keyboard!

[@elianadelcarmenhernaoherna1534]

My rabbit is actually less than a year old, but he doesnt like folowing rules, u literally pet him once and hell just go like: okay I will let u peasant pet me, and flop there by your side and let himself be pet for a while until hes had enough massages, hahaha god i love him

My bunny likes rubbing under his chin, and putting his whole head in my hand palm (hand on head). He also loves rubbing his chin on a wooden stick of an water ice popsicle and chewing on it.

[@nameless.8056]

aww

[@H.P.Blavatsky]

Definitely get them fixed! Don’t worry you’ll not lose any of the spunkiness

[@lauraelizabeth4226]

@@nameless.8056 yes it's super important! Females have a very high incidence of reproductive cancer (80%!) and spaying prevents that. Males get moody once they reach a certain age, they will spray to mark their territory, and court you. Being courted by a male bunny that is in love with you is cute at first...until they start biting your feet and marking you. Bunnies also have trouble being friends when they reach a certain age, because they get very hormonal, territorial and end up getting in fights! Spaying and neutering is the best thing you can do for your pet rabbit.

[@nedranichting2033]

I have been doing research and something else is that you can also rub their cheeks and their shoulders to massage them.

Favourite treat: kale! They go crazy for it. Oh wait, no, banana. They can smell if I've had a banana and not shared and climb all over me.

I just lost my bunny and have to console his surviving companion bunny. I'm trying to keep her as happy as possible, but feel like it's not enough. Can you make a video on rabbits in mourning?

Hello I have a question, when I'm sleeping my 2 rabbits pee around my bed on the floor do you have any idea how I can stop this please

[@conormcbride3211]

Yes both females and neutered

[@conormcbride3211]

Ok has nothing to do with peeing they only do this when I sleep and for some reason they circle around my bed and pee purposely all around it

[@love.JESUS.2day]

What do u think about using a harness..? Taking them for a walk on grass/dirt?

[@fyourchickenstrips2068]

I have harnesses for my 2 bunnies, I've got 3 different types, 2 are super adjustable cat harnesses and the others were advertised for buns but my boys wiggle out and the size smaller was too small, if its fitted right and you're not yanking them around it's okay, get them used to it before taking them outside though

[@LoveABun]

Do not do this if you live in an area where the highly contagious and deadly rabbit hemorrhagic virus has been detected! You can even bring the virus into your home and infect your rabbit via your shoes and clothing! rabbit.org/rhdv/

@@fyourchickenstrips2068 Please read my comment above. The Bunny Lady should be warning people about this when they ask about taking or keeping their rabbits outside.

If my rabbit has a clump of fur by his butt what do I do to help him?

[@megancao9250]

Great video. I was wondering if you have advice on training when there are more than one bun? I found when I had one bunny it was really easy to establish the rules and cues, but later we got two bunnies, there is always one that's very excited about treat and being 'disruptive' to the training, i guess the competitiveness in getting treat became a priority to them, I felt it must have been confusing to them whether they got the food for doing the right thing(training) or was it just a normal treat feeding time lol, so I gave up eventually. Any tips would be great! Thanks

[@xxxmelissatacionxxx]

Maybe try training them in separate rooms?

[@isabelles11]

Is it normal for rabbits to shed _a lot_ during the summer? My bun wasn't shedding to much in the spring but now its almost like layers that he drops at a time. Just want to make sure it isn't anything im doing. Thanks

[@isabelles11]

@@nameless.8056 Understandable, i was always told they shed in the spring and fall thats all.

@@isabelles11 Same, but I think they can loose fur anytime tho.!

[@isabelles11]

@@nameless.8056 I meant mainly, but it makes sense!

Yup, that's normal. Most rabbits will have two smaller shedding seasons and two bigger fur storms every year. The exact timing of it will vary a lot depending on the rabbit

My rabbit loves chewing cardboard but im worried it will eat the cardboard too much. Should i be concerned or not?

Eating some cardboard is okay as long as your rabbit still has a healthy appetite for their hay and greens

I have 2 bunnies , i think they were of 6weeks when they came , they are 5months old now , the problem is i don't know how to name my rabbits, having 2 i have to feed them together and then i can't say both names at the same time, i want them to learn their names , recognize me a bit more ..... I don't know if they'll stay longer, before they are given to the pet shop owner i want them to learn their name, reciprocate the love i am giving to them. I hope i can convince my parents to let them live here...
