Omg, you are the best, thank you so much this really helps!!!! Followed you since day 1! My rabbit has never been happier

[@keharabolley]

I was wondering if you, could help me with one thing, my rabbit really doesn't like all types of treats, she doesn't eat apples or banana, I only give her, her pellets, although I do have these treat brand that she loves, but I was wondering if you think something is wrong with my rabbit, be cause she doesn't eat, banana or apples?

[@yatihussein3311]

You actually help me with choosing the best hay so thank you for this and can't wait for the 15%

[@allisoncalnan5677]

@@keharabolley hi! while i am not nearly as knowledgeable on bun care as Morgan, i can relate to this! my bun doesn’t really care for apples, strawberries, or blueberries. i give him the oxbow veggie treats or cranberry treats and he LOVES them. i’ll also give a timothy carrot lollipop once in a while and he goes crazy for them. i’ve discovered he’s not a huge fan of fruits but there are plenty of healthy natural treats out there that your bun may like more than fruit. hope that helped a little!:)

My bunny of 8 years passed away a week ago, I stumbled across your channel as I was doing research on getting new bunnies. Today I picked up my two 10 week old holland lop bunnies and I realized how much work raising two of them is going to be, especially since it’s been 8 years since I had a young bunny (let alone two). I just wanna say your videos have been really helpful so far, I already knew a decent amount, but I really wanna make sure I take care of my new babies the best I can, so thank you sm for freely giving out all this information. 💗

[@karlaalvarado9132]

I’m getting two bunnies as well!! Any tips with raising two at a time? I’ve also haven’t had a baby bun in forever!!!

[@yatihussein3311]

I laughed so much when Morgan said "cinnabun" in a pretty disappointed way at 4:37

[@yeahexceptno]

It shocks and saddens me to see so many bun owners think that hay is optional.. Very, very disturbing. I mean, even a few minutes of research will clarify that which is a whole other level of disturbing, how little people research.

[@fmletras]

My parents are negligent about it, what can I do??? 😣

[@yeahexceptno]

@@fmletras I'd get the bunny to a place where it would receive the basic needs of life, which is sadly not in the care of your parents..

[@Bunni504]

[@releasedfate923]

Every time I adopt in my area, nearly every breeder or farmer selling will tell me "rabbits don't need hay." I'm absolutely sick of the misinformation! To someone who knows nothing, like my mom who doesn't like to listen to me when I've done research, that's literally going to destroy the quality of life of the pet. I always make sure my bunny has hay.

[@kezbunny]

This was so useful, thank you so much!! Will be getting my bunnies in 4 weeks and they'll be 9 weeks old, I've got the Timothy hay first and second cut ready but this made me think about the other types too. Thank you! X

Your channel is so entertaining and rich in information on bunnies. Great video editing too. I am not even a bunny parent, but I adore bunnies and do know someone close who has a pair of bunnies, one of which was found abandoned with a limp and had bad fur condition; she is well and happy now after vet visits and receiving love and proper care. It really is very sad to know of bunny abandonment cases which does happen every now and then here in Singapore.

[@ceciliaponce700]

Thank you so much. I recently adopted a bunny, and all your tips are helping so much. Thank you

[@danemarais7398]

You see this is where it’s so confusing sometimes because different channels say similar and completely different things about hay. In SA we don’t have a large selection of Timothy Hay, it’s so rare here. But we have lots of Oat Hay. I feed my rabbit Libby both Oat and Timothy yet she HATES Timothy Hay and she will devour Oat Hay. Not sure if that’s a good thing in the long run. Her poop seems normal when eating Oat Hay, it produces a golden colour. Helpful video thanks!

So if I get bunnies (will find out today) I will take notes and make like a booklet/idk a grimoare or something like that where I can read how to take care of them. I think it would be a great way to study and remember what I have already learned! Love your videos, Cinnabun is an Idol.

My bunny would not eat Timothy hay for the life of her. I ordered a bag of orchard hay and she ate it in probably three days. I would definitely recommend orchard hay. Also have a four month old rabbit and she has about a half-and-half with Timothy and alfalfa

[@mariazhang5202]

Thanks for making these videos. I plan on getting a rabbit one day!!🙏

[@HeavenBunnies]

this is so interesting because the pyramid is different in sooo many countries. for us (in germany/austria) 80% is fresh hay aka grass/field grass. While hay should always be available, rabbits that have grass (not backyard grass but actual stuff from a good field or mountain field where you would make hay from) often go for the fresh stuff. :)) I personally feed that way and it helped with urinary issues because of the calcium in the hay. I personally feed first and second cut, as I have made hay myself before (for horses) I prefer first cut because it's not so sweet :) I buy massive hay balls from a local farmer and they don't make third cut hay here but interesting to know that it is available in some areas 😍

If I had to buy a rabbit hutch, would you have one to recommend? One that is spacious, well protected from rain, and cold, and that is open? Would it be better to have one made, or to buy a hutch like for chickens?

[@gracec4925]

I totally understand if this is not possible in your living situation, but I would suggest perhaps setting up a spacious x-pen inside, opposed to buying a butch to keep your rabbit outside due to all the different risks.

[@SincerelyCinnabun]

I don’t recommend a hutch at all, actually! Check out my “what you need when you bring home a rabbit” video - I give suggestions and links there :)

Hi Morgan, I have a question. I give my rabbit a mix of Timothy hay and meadow hay from oxbow. I don’t give her any treat Hays either. Should I switch her to just Timothy hay since meadow is high in protein? Also ur makeup is on point

I have a question, so in the litter box i know you put a hay bag is that their daily hay like do they just go there for hay or is there another bowl with hay or is there just the hay bag in the litter box for them?

[@tingting8586]

I think bunny should be feeding all different sorts for grass and hay. If they prefer certain hay I tend to give them less preferred hay for few days as that’s the only way to train them not become a picky eater. When they are hungry they will eat, spoil them with pellets and tasty hay will do more damage than love them

[@lifewithboomeroo2854]

Thanks I needed this!!!

[@ashleykelleyrealtor]

I have a question is there a treat for baby bunnies such as under 3 months?

[@AlizayaKhim]

Will it say on the bag which one is the 1st cutting?

[@Msxallisonwonderland]

Very good video, momma-bun! My boy was actually never put on alfalfa hay when I received him. He had alfalfa heavy pellets and this was recommended by my vet. He was already on timothy 1st cut since he was very tiny. I think that is a better way of getting them into grass hay (faster than transitioning from one to another)... but that's my opinion. Orchard grass also has two crops, 1st and 2nd (Course and fine). One other point is to watch out for hays with treats within it (not to blast them, but Kaytee brand often does this). This may be fun for foraging, but the hay quality isn't that great and there are SO many treats within it that it can really upset their digestive system. If possible, buy your hay from local farms as it's WAY cheaper and you get waaaay more for your buck. My issue though is in Ohio, the farmers market for Timothy hay is SO "clique-y" that they don't like doing private dealings like that. Orchard grass is the main deal around here... My bunny does not like orchard and will only go for timothy, so I usually always have to order my hay from elsewhere.

Hey Morgan, I’ve had my bunny for around three years and he has had the same bag of hay since I got him. The bag was meant for two bunnies but I can’t help but feel that something is wrong. Could you let me know how much hay I need to give him a day, or any other suggestions that you have to get him to eat more? Edit: I should clarify that the hay was included when I got him (from a breeder) and it was in a garbage bag

[@c3pid2]

Ik I’m not Morgan but what size is the bag and how much hay from the bag gets eaten a day, also have you been feeding it other things?

[@SincerelyCinnabun]

I give some pretty big handfuls every day. I would definitely get a new bag, since hay can go bad after a while. I try to fill half the litter box (or an entire hay bag) with hay! Hope this helps!

[@lightlesmana7517]

Hi, Morgan! My bunny is a 2 yr old netherland dwarf, right now she is eating unlimited hay but her teeth is SUPER outgrown, I go to the vet 1x every 2 weeks to get it cut. I'm not sure what cut of hay I buy but would it be okay if I start feeding her 1st cut timothy hay from now one?
