You should not yell or act aggressive while they are around. They can get so scared and stressed that could lead to heart attack.

According to my bun, You should NEVER take your bunny to the vet! 😂

[@Carolinejoyamico]

Haha! Cute. My situation is that we have to drive for hours to find a vet that even takes rabbits. Our local vets don’t know anything about them. I assume they could split a leg, or something basic. But they won’t normally touch them. We’re on our own.

My partner and I never knew that trancing was a thing! we only got our bunny just a few month ago, so the both of us thought for the longest time that our bunny just loved getting cheek scratches in that position because he looked so relaxed to us. This video definitely educated us on that and we will retire from doing that anymore! 🥰

[@rowan0331]

I went to a rabbit show for the first time ever a couple days ago with my mom and cousin. I would say it was somewhat fun, but I was pretty disturbed with the way they treated those rabbits. First of all, their nails were EXTREMELY long and sharp. I saw people grooming their rabbits, but I never saw them clipping their nails. I got a pretty bad scratch (it drew blood) on my hand from one of the rabbits, which wouldn't have happened if they had kept its nails trimmed. Every time we asked someone if we could hold their rabbit, they picked up the rabbit by its scruff, which also concerned me. I don't even want to talk about the living situations those rabbits were in! My mom told me that those owners didn't actually care about their rabbits' well-being, they just cared about competition. I've thought about entering my rabbit in a show before, but that experience changed my mind completely.

[@jaydaly2254]

Got my first bunny 2 months ago and he's very happy..a lot of why he is happy is because of your videos and advise..Thank you very much 😄

[@chloeroam7667]

I would just like to point out that while you made some really good points in this video, it’s hard to take advice from someone who has their bunny on the beach. Sand is very disruptive to a rabbits respiratory system and can cause anything from weepy eyes to full on stasis.

[@laylaboot5274]

Thank you so much lorelei! You have made my bunny have a better life. I've always been scared of one of my bunnies dying but on oct 26 my lop passed away from cancer. I hope shes happy in heaven.

I had to give my bunny a few butt baths for severe poopy butt (recommended by my vet) but she got scared and tried to jump out. She ended up getting a spinal injury and was now peeing herself. She lost all of her fur on her belly and it was a nightmare. I had to continue giving her butt baths with a special medicine put into the water. Thank goodness she healed after weeks, and is 100% recovered now. Definitely be careful with dipping your bun in water even If recommend by a vet 😢

OMG what a crazy story!!! Sounds like you and your bun went thru a super long journey!

I always love how you continue to keep educating people for our long eared friends. I had the issue with Morty of sore hocks it is such a process it can come up fast! And I feel so bad for my little man he needs constant hugs and cuddles he is glued to me! Won’t let me go anywhere when he got it. At first I thought bedding ditched it for recycled dust free, all is well he is back to his usual self he like to jump on his cage ledge and he poops through the bars to make a neat pile of cannon balls and the other side is for pee he is super neat about his cage keeps waste to one small part of it the rest is for lounging his cage is stupid huge and he always has an open door to leave as he wants. So I figured he would never get the sore hocks again because he is always welcome to any part of the house and he does stairs no problem to the second floor he likes to be under my bed or my son’s bed. He is just getting over it again for his second time. Although his cage is the largest I have seen for any animal and the size I have is super rare the ledge he like to be on to poop and pee is the culprit and hurting his foot. Now I will have to make a new enclosure I know you don’t like the cage but Morty likes his and chooses to be in it as he knows it is his private leave me alone space, a safe space that all of us respect when it comes to him. He is the star of our troop the apple of our eyes! We have this relationship because of the tips you have helped me with personally when it comes to rabbits there is a finesse to it. Anyway I always leave you a super babble paragraph when I do comment thank you again ladies you and Lennon for being there to help us care for our rabbits the best ways possible.

[@lapizzuli]

When my bunny came in he had his own place if he wanted to be by himself. Totally free to be in the whole apartment. First 5 months he was under bed or sofa etc. I never bothered him. Maybe with bunnies patience is a virtue. Slowly he learned to trust me and now this dude sleeps next to me every day. Bunnies are so much smarter than they get credit for

They get lots of treats and running around, it's funny to watch them get the zoomies!

[@busybunnyhomestead]

The lack of paw pads is the very reason rabbits can tolerate wire flooring, rather than walking on flesh they walk on very think fur that protects there feet. The wire needs to be the right type though, large 14-16 gage 1 by 1/2 inch. Hardware cloth seems kinda bc the gaps are smaller but in actuality the small gage is sharper and can scuff off the thick layer of fur once that happens then you get sore hocks. Some rabbits are also genetically predisposition to have thinner fur on there feet making them prone to sore hocks no matter how soft their flooring is. There is no more sanitary way or eco friendly way to keep a caged rabbit than on wire. Just make sure it’s the proper type and that your rabbit came from good breeding.

[@imacrayzcritter]

I once accidentally had a bad nail trim with my Sophie. The quick was involved. She cleaned herself up better than I did! As I tell people, they’re self cleaning like an oven or cat, but without the gross coughed up hairballs. 🙂 Sophie does not like to be picked up, but once she is, she is a little cuddle bun who does not leave my side. Lulu on the other hand goes absolutely crazy when on a lap. Nail trims are a challenge and once in awhile I have had to resort to trancing to get a long overdue one in. I’ve been working to calm him since I adopted him, so 5.5 years now. He loves to come to me for attention and I pet him on his terms. He’ll jump on my back, but brushing and nail trims are a battle. We all learn to be better though. I remember your Lennon video of treating her like a baby. It seems like you’ve stepped away from that type of video too which is awesome. The best we can do is be friendly to fellow rabbit owners. There are groups that are not *cough* HRS Facebook. Absolutely none of us are perfect, but we all absolutely love our bunnies. We’ll all be the best bunny moms and dads we can be with proper guidance. 🥰

Our bunny liked her temp pen and then her new pen that was a lot bigger and she refers to be in there than out of it. maybe because our home is new so she feels safe in an enclosed area and she likes her digging box and uses it as her bed and used it as her litterbox. We also have a dog but she stays on the main floor and goes in the basement and our daughter's room is bunny space.

[@halloweenwitch6580]

as someone who rescues rabbits. you can bathe your rabbits if absolutely needed. i’ve done it a couple of times. butt baths are the way to go. they may hate it but rather that then infections from the gunk. also i do trance my rabbits WHEN NEEDED. like checking them for issues and checking their feet and privates and all of that easy bc my rabbits don’t like being picked up, i’ve used it in the past to give meds from being fixed. it worked perfectly. they suck it down and don’t thrash around which would be awful. they also would be freeroamed if my male wasn’t so destructive n taught my other rabbits how to also be destructive. they have toys he just chooses violence. but 2 XL dog pens (in a total of around 80x72 in total space)

[@jackwhitbread4583]

You're an abusive POS, there is absolutely zero need to EVER trance a rabbit. You are putting an innocent creature into a state of extreme terror and it will end in their deaths, they can easily become so terrified they have a heart attack and die.

Hi 👋 👋 👋, and adorable rabbit ❤❤❤

[@happyhoppersrabbitry7508]

I would like to say something Abt #1, while there are some stereotypes of "scruffing your bunny" the main reason it's bad is bc most ppl use the power inappropriately. A rabbit who is more than 3-4lbs shouldn't be scruffed at all period but a rabbit of the appropriate weight will experience no pain while doing so. yes it is uncomfortable just the same as it is uncomfortable to muzzle a dog but it is not painful to a rabbit of the appropriate weight. Alot of people like to argue with this that they don't have scruffs like canines which is true but a canines scruff is just extra skin, the same thing a rabbit has just more. Also if you have a larger rabbit who is bitey or needs a swift move from one spot to another, scruffing and then placing a hand under the bum holds them upright so they cannot nip while also ensuring thier weight is in your hand and not on their neck. The main stereotypes of scruffing came after it was merged with the idea of picking up by the ears. While you should NEVER pick you're bunny up by the ears "scruffing" is okay as long as it is used appropriately

[@Lsssssl]

Yes! Tired of people calling it "cruel"

[@roosbracke6177]

There are other ways to pick up a rabbit scruffing isn’t needed and like you said uncomfortable

[@yani1255]

Glad I don’t do these things!!! But what makes me sad is that my mother’s boyfriend doesn’t respect any rules and boundaries of bunnies. My bunny had babies and they are 2 months now. He always does cruel things to them, ESPECIALLY hold them on their backs. I always try to tell him what you are not supposed to do, but he never listens to me. Sometimes I feel like it’s because I’m in middle school, he overpowers me all the time🙁. And whenever my bunny has poop or something stuck to them he’s always like “he/she needs a bath. Oh it won’t hurt them.” Now I feel guilty, because when we first got our bunny we knew nothing. And bed very unfortunately we bathed her a few times I believe. He never respects me but I always play your videos around him to give him a clue😒👀. But thank you SOO much for spending so much awareness for bunny owners🥰🥰love you

[@seralynn7286]

I didn't know you shouldn't interrupt the rabbit when it eats. Mine has never seemed to mind; I feed him kale leaves and pet him while he eats them. Occasionally if I give him something really tasty, he'll snatch it up and hop a distance away to eat it lol. But I figure if he stays sitting next to me and doesn't seem bothered by me petting him that it's okay?

[@Lsssssl]

Yes petting is ok. I think she mean not to pick up a rabbit while its eating

[@curcubeusiiubirea7778]

I really need feedback on this please! So, my parents agreed to a bunny a while ago. But, I came up with the idea of free roaming in my bedroom, but putting a home base under my bed. Now, my bed is gigantic in height terms. And in width it is a full size. I said I could put foam matts/specifically foam letter matts under my bed, and cage in the undersize with an ex pen. I could figure it out with the litter box (I'm planning to use a cat litterbox) And I've got everything worked out that deals with future rabbits health. Ex pen will stay open as long as I am not leaving the house. And I will make sure to keep a good diet, and give it plenty of attention and exersise. I'm going to be moving into my own place in a couple of years (I'm 17 right now) once I'm out of highschool, and my parents want me to stay home for college as well. Is this an okay idea? They want to get a bunny from a shelter about an hour away from my house for Christmas. I really trust your judgment so I really hope you're able to see this!

[@armsol184]

[@PoloClub03]

I love your insights on helpful knowledge to a healthy and happy Bunny. You truly are a gift of brains 🙂. What other things to not do iny personal opinion because I have one as well is Don't make your bunny sniff everything you do and one other thing keep them away from the dirt that appears as sand throughout grass fields because there's a bunch of unnecessary things crawling plus to top it off no objects that are not bunny chewy safe. No joke. It can end up a hazard when you least expect it. I'm a big bunny 🐇 fan of you! And will keep on watching your videos. Love from South Florida 🌴

Regarding disturbing bunnies while they're eating: in my house no one even dares to speak too loud if bunny is eating because those are important times and he shouldn't be disturbed. Once I was sharing a banana with my bun, he was eating on my belly and I moved my hand into hot tea. I suffered in silence and without movement because otherwise I would have one grumpy bunny and I don't want to deal with consequences of it 😂

[@LoveABun]

I love this! You’re a great bun mom!

[@oooh19]

They should still be able to eat with noise going on around them plus they should have tons of hay available all day and night . Before work or bed fill up their habitat with hay

Mine was in a cage but also got free roam around my bedroom and even around the house. Got along well with my cats and dogs. She was an angora. She sadly had something genetic wrong or bad luck and died young. She would jump onto my bed and scratch at my blankets next to me until gave her pets and scratches. Often would rest in my window sill with my cats as well. She was super affectionate and social when she had her free roam time! Even would run down the hall and hop onto my mom's bed to visit her for loves. She taught me they're pretty cool pets!

Thank you Lorelei for all your content and information! ❤ I would like to recommend if you could please do a video on bonding bunnies. 🙏 I have 2 neutered male bunnies, who are brothers. When I got them, they were babies and they were already bonded. I started researching them and found you right away, and continued to binge watch you. I've learned so much and it changed the way I raise them. You saved them from the outdoor hutch, I got them neutered, and I treat them better, all because of you. 🐇🐇💝 Thank you! But, like clockwork, as they came of age they began to fight just like you say & I separated them right away and got them neutered. They have been separated for 8 weeks total (1 week before neutering & 7 weeks after neutering), and I'm ready to start rebonding them now. But there is so little information on bonding, and it's contradictory. Can you please do a video on bonding neutered male rabbits. I saw one from 101 Rabbits called How to Bond Rabbits. I'd be curious what you think of it. She's stress bonding which I feel like you'd possibly disagree with. Other articles say start with a large space vs she says start with a small space & work your way up. A video like this would be invaluable for me, and others like me, especially considering how much I respect your knowledge. Thank you Lorelei! Have a Wonderful day! ❤

Lennon has been alone all her life, I wouldn't rely on Lorelei's opinion since she most likely has no hands-on experience. The house rabbit society has information online or you can ask your local rescue for help :)

[@StarryKitsuKat]

I would try finding a neutral space where none of the bunnies "own" it. Decide the room with like a fence thing and see how they interact. Do this daily until you think they don't need the fence/divider but then still supervise jic until necessary. Good luck with your bunnies!

Hi! I have problems with clipping my bunnies nail cause he tends to squirm around, is there anything I can do or tricks I can do to fix that?

[@theanimalequestrianroadto600]

Hi I was wondering I’m I aloud to once in awhile with a damp cloth wipe her back feet cause when I got her her feet were matted I got it out but I’m trying to keep it clean so it doesn’t mat I clean her litter box every 2 days and she sometimes still steps in her potty spot so I wipe it off is this ok or do I leave it? Most off the time she cleans it but on her spa day lol she get her back feet wiped off I hope this is ok?

[@StarryKitsuKat]

You are right about the wire bottom cages and grabbing by the scruff that it's still pretty prevalent with some people, mostly people who keep farm animals but even met a vet tech teacher who thought grabbing a rabbit by the scruff was "just like a cat does" like wtf how embarrassing that a "professional" has such outdated knowledge 🙄 But luckily more ppl have been spreading the word on keeping and handling bunnies how it should. Sadly where i live the wire bottom cages are very common AND they keep the rabbits outside 24/7, it's mostly older people with their old ways. I'm glad more people are learning of the better care for bunnies tho, i have shared much of the knowledge (& your videos) and when i ask people "see, isn't this better for a bunny that you want to care for as a loving pet?" and people do agree when they see how healthy and happy the bunny is.

[@lethalprincess2087]

2:47 Amen to this one! Holden even gets grumpy if I'm so much as a couple minutes late putting his lettuce mix into his dish 😬 and to then take him away from what he's been looking forward to since breakfast and snack time would be the death of my existence *and* inherently cruel, especially when they're already so fragile and dependent on you for something they feel they've deserved, and like you said, worked for.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

"what he's been looking forward since breakfast and snack time" LOL. My dog is the same. So cute!

[@fyourchickenstrips2068]

I have 2 buns and 1 loves being pet while he eats, if i walk away he waits for me to come back😂 also I "bum bath" my bunnies once a year (during a warm summer day so they dry quick and don't get cold) one of my boys is a lion head so he gets very messy on the bum, I trim his fur to avoid most of the mess, they're also both pure white so the once a year bum bath helps keep their feet and bits nice and clean, by bum bath I mean literally like an inch or 2 of just warm water and I just put their bum and back feet in, they hold on to my one hand and I give them a little rub around the bum and back feet with my other hand and then they have a quick towel snuggle and then freedom to go finish the cleaning themselves ❤

[@BillRalens]

I had a rabbit that would have lived the rest of her life in a cage. Typically, I would say I'm a dog guy. Rabbits are so subtle in comparison. If I was awake and at home, the cage was open for her to run around. I noticed that she always was in a place where she could see me. When I'd cook, I'd always give her the leaves from the celery or the rest of a bunch or parsley. She loved parsley. Towards the end of her life, she got head tilt a lot. I swore I wouldn't get attached but I did. The saddest thing was chopping up some celery and bringing her the leaves and realizing she was gone.

I have an Havana bunny, I’m sorry but he wants to be held He loves cuddles like no joke 24/7 cuddles lol These bunnies are the calmest I’ve ever seen

[@karymevargas8740]

My bunny is almost 2 years he is my sweet baby boy and is 1 year and 11 months and he basically the first cap time he met my sisters cat they were really shy but then they got more used to each other and are bestfriends even though they play together in our living room its cute to see them become friends and some memories and moments he will never forget since his bestfriend is soon to be leaving and I wish my bunny could still live longer and longer to live with me and my family he will always be in my heart and everyone’s still to this day when he passes away I shall keep him cute toys to be reminded.

[@AnneMarieRenee]

I have more of a question than comment. I have a free roam rabbit, Cash. He got along with my dog Oreo and it was so cute. Oreo has since moved on 😢 🌈 and we are thinking of getting a kitten. What is the best way to introduce them? Thank you!

[@PixiePrincess501]

I once read a book that said that before people started holding their bunnies by the scruff, (This was a book I bought in the early to mid 90's, so yes, it's quite outdated by now.) magicians would grab the rabbits out of their hats by the ears, so they would wiggle around and show the bunny was real. :< This one probably goes without saying with anything that has ears, but please don't grab your bunnies by the ears. :(

[@oooh19]

It could have broken its spine!

[@oogway7930]

my bunnies like it when they're inside they're cage, i just got them yesterday and they're 2 months old, i keep on opening the door and i wait for them to come out but they never do, is there somehow a way for me to get them out so maybe they could get some exercise?

[@Mariesoul6]

This is off-topic, but I have two questions. Right now my bunny is six months old and her alfalfa hay keeps breaking up and turning dusty. I can’t tell if it’s just the way that I’m storing it or if I’m just not buying a good quality brand. It seems like the majority of the bag is made up of alfalfa dusty broken up pieces instead of long nice strands of hay. What do you recommend? And my second question is if this is the time that I should be switching my bunny into adult food gradually? Please let me know. Thank you!

So I might get a bunny and is it ok to have a bunny in like a dog crate? And have puppy pads and bedding on the bottom of the cage? The dog crate is for like a golden retriever so it’s pretty big
