Best Rabbit Breeds as Pets

As someone who has a Californian, this is true! She's an indoor bun and very sweet. She is shy like you said, but absolutely loves being pet and cuddled.

[@AzazelsWings]

@@jamiema8850 they were all but one healthy boys. Find yourself a vet that is knowledgeable with bunnies and take him for a once over. Most important things are probably always, always, always make sure he has clean water and hay. Rabbits have to eat constantly pretty much or they bind up and die. The other thing is don't leave them out over 70 fahrenheit , they get heatstroke super quick and tolerate cold a lot better than hot. Give him a litter box, he'll use it :) . I hope you and your buddy will have a long fun time together filled with adventures and laughs. ♡

Mini lops and lionheads😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

lionheads are definitely unique!

[@mw-cy1zf]

Attention to anyone that is now thinking about owning one of those breeds! Lots of the breeds shown in this video suffer due to their genetics, please just get your rabbits from a shelter. Rex rabbits often have curly whiskers and skin problems. Lops have short snouts and deformed ear canals, most of them develop painful and VERY hard to detect otitis. I've done CT scans on "healthy" seeming lops whose bones in the ear were completely dissolved by the inflammation. Woolys and netherland dwarves have breed specific health issues. These poor animals suffer because we decide to think certain attributes are cute. Please just adopt a pair from the shelter. On top of that, there are numerous sequences that show improper and dangerous handling as well as frightened and stressed rabbits. Be aware of that!

[@petopedia_]

Thanks for your opinion. Stay tuned for more videos.

[@sassymusic77]

Thank you for saying just what I was thinking! My first bunny was a Jersey Wooly (obtained from the shelter), and it was a total heartbreak story as she died from dental complications due to her breed. I am now on my second bunny from the shelter, and this time I went with the vet's recommendation that I get a mix breed. So far, so good - I have a mix of Dutch, Silver Marten and New Zealand and he's so much healthier! The biggest problem with this video is the idea that any one breed has certain personality commonalities. Every single bun is unique, and having respect for the individual will lead to a happier relationship.

[@dollipop12]

Lops and swarfs having brachycephalic skulls and issues from them has been dispelled by actual breeders that have handled and raised hundreds or even thousands of them. The 2 studies done on lop ear issues were from rescue rabbits with unknown ancestry and unknown previous medical history. Also both studies only compared about a dozen animals and had no real control group. Yes lops can have more issues but it's more due to an owner not providing proper husbandry than the anatomy of the animal.

[@dollipop12]

Well bred rex rabbits do not have any more skin issues than those with standard or rollback fur. Sure poorly bred rex are prone to bare spots, improper coat types, and skin irritation due to improper fur coverage but that's why we support ethical responsible breeders.

[@mw-cy1zf]

@@dollipop12 I challenge you to work at a rabbit savvy vet clinic for a few weeks. The amount of lops with issues that are way less common in normal eared rabbits is no joke. We've also just yesterday had a male lop who supposedly was "very well bred", suffering facial nerve paralysis due to having severe otitis. Just a recent example of what we see all the time. You're right that improper husbandry is at fault as well since very few owners do yearly imaging or monthly ear cleaning which worsens the issues. It's also not only otits and teeth issues, they also can't see as well due to the ears blocking their view which frankly is not really an advantage for a prey animal.

[@tehlaziness]

I'd like to make an honorable mention of the American Polish breed. They tend to be very agreeable, playful and affectionate. At least all of mine have been. Plus, keeping their coat groomed is incredibly easy. Polishes are a great breed.

[@airotx]

Hollands lops are lovely rabbits! But I think it’s also important to mention that they are more prone to developing middle/inner ear infections due to the shape of their ears. If you decide to get one just be aware that this may be a possibility for them and it may require a quite invasive (and expensive) surgery! Other vet bills that can come up with any rabbit breed include your regular check ups, spay/neuter, RHDV2 vaccine, and dental procedures if needed in the future!

would not recommend a bunny as a starter pet or for beginner pet owners

[@allcreation87]

Was going to say this. There is alot of work that goes into caring for a bunny. Everyone, please do your research before getting a bun. Would not recommend for a child due to how fragile they can be. Trust me, I've had 2 so far and it was alot of work but very rewarding.

Well my First pet ever was a bunny and it went quite Well, But we did do a lot of research on Them tho

[@PascaleLaurent81]

No bunnies should be left unsupervised outdoors whether they’re in an enclosure or not. No domesticated rabbits should be left outside periods regardless of the breed and don’t belong in hutches or cages either. If your rabbits are kept as pet ( not bred for meat ) then let them roam free .

[@user-jz6ry7bb7t]

You can't generalise it that much. Obviously there are rabbits that are safer living indoors, for example rabbits that live in areas with extreme weather or live near bears/large destructive animals, but there are lots of rabbits that are alright or better living outdoors. Personally, I know my rabbit living outside is the best thing for him, he has a safe enclosure, he can dig, he has grass and he can get fresh air outside, which he couldn't get as much of indoors.

[@PascaleLaurent81]

@@user-jz6ry7bb7t I can and I am…why do you have an animal if it’s to leave it outside 24/7 ??? Rabbits are prey animals therefore aren’t okay outdoors as you mentioned I being in an enclosure so other animals don’t get to them bc fencing the area isn’t enough … if you don’t get it now then you’ll never get it.

[@user-jz6ry7bb7t]

@@PascaleLaurent81 Yes, I'm aware their prey animals. I could name all the reasons people own animals and have them live outside, but I don't think that's gonna make a difference to your opinion. But I don't understand how fencing the area isn't enough. No animals can get into my enclosure. The most dangerous animals that live near me, are cats, and tiny birds (which are harmless cause their also prey animals). My rabbit bearly ever shows any stress signs towards big dogs, cats, and loud noises, hes used to it. Nearly everything about his setup is 100% better then if I had it inside.

[@lornocford6482]

@@user-jz6ry7bb7t rabbits shouldn't be kept as single. Please do some research and get your rabbit a companion. Also, ensure their enclosure is genuinely big enough for them - a minimum of 60 square feet hutch and run for two average size rabbits. Better still is a shed with securely fenced large area for them to exercise.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

@@user-jz6ry7bb7t sorry but no, it's pointless having a pet if you are going to make it live outside, pets belong inside and if you don't have the means to rabbit proof your home then don't get a rabbit. It's cruel and abusive to force any animal to live in a cage. And no cats are not prey animals, they are predators and they will harm birds and rabbits given the chance.

[@bonkersbunnymum]

I would love to see a balanced well researched updated version of this. Yes some nice points were made, but overall too many inaccuracies, wrong images shown at times of the breed and so many generalisations on the breed, when they all have such distinct personalities, though one thing that does seem to be common amongst bunnies is their stubborn streak. Also all bunnies can be litter trained and the fact is it is unnatural for a bunny to ever have all 4 paws off the floor (other than when binkying/jumping) so as a prey species they actually find being handled and cuddled stressful and scary. It is far better to lie with them on the floor for snuggles and some buns will choose to come and lie on you or become lap bunnies, but there is no guarantee it happens or in a certain breed. Also, many breeds do have traits that are more likely, sadly not to do with being cuddly or good with children, but due to health problems and all bunnies need to be able to have access to a bunny savvy vet if you hope for them to have a good lifespan. It is a total myth that bunnies are cheap easy starter pets that are good with children. Bunnies are AMAZING especially when kept in pairs and can live in your home freely (just like a dog or cat would) but ultimately they are an adult’s companion animal that has complex needs.

my cousin has two rabbits its very fluffy its about 3 months old i think

[@SwedePotato314]

My daughter has been begging me for a pet bunny for YEARS. Ive been hesitant as I wanted to make sure she was old enough and responsible enough, that we were in a financial and living situation that would be big enough for a new pet and we could afford to bring him to vet and get them everything we need. I think we're about ready now so Im doing a lot of research. We dont have any other pets and I don't want the bunny to be lonely. Should I get 2 rabbits so they can have a companion when we're not around? I feel like animals of some species need to be in a social situation and that humans who treat them good are wonderful but can't always fill yhe same place as anothet companion of their same species. Does anyone have any recommendations? Any experience or advice abyone can share would be greatly appreciated ❤ thank you!

[@kangourousse9410]

Hi! I have a couple of rabbits myself and in my country rabbits must not be left alone. I would advise to have two rabbits, 1 male and 1 female, it's the duo that gets along the best, and it's important to sterilize both of them to avoid babies. Furthermore , the female has a high risk of uterine cancer, and the male can always harass the female if one of them is not sterilized because of hormones. You should also be aware that after the castration operation, the male is still fertile for 1 month, so keep them apart. Finally, if the two don't know each other yet, have them meet in stages, with a separation barrier where they can see each other, or they may fight. I hope this helped a little! 😊

[@SwedePotato314]

@kangourousse9410 this helps so much, thank you! I'm really grateful for your advice. 🩵. We still haven't committed yet but she asks me every day. I just want to have a nice place for the bunnies all set up before they get here, like an indoor and outdoor area that's safe, spacious and comfortable. Meeting each other in stages is a great idea, and helps me even more to better plan when we get them and how we will keep them comfortable and safe during the meeting process. I can set up separate areas for each of them so they don't feel overwhelmed until they're used to each other and the new environment. My daughter is only 5 and she is very happy to help out but it'll be me doing most of the care taking. I was wondering if it is better to get the rabbits when they are young? Or is it better to get them once they're a little older? I guess there are pros and cons to both but in your experience, what would you recommend? Again, thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate your help.

[@kangourousse9410]

@@SwedePotato314 As far as age is concerned, in my experience it doesn't influence attachment, but r time, experience and character do. I took my female at 3 months and my male at 2 years and both are very affectionate. I originally wanted to take a brother and sister from the same litter from a farm, so that they would already know each other. The farmer proposed an older male because he was very affectionate with humans and wanted to spare him the slaughterhouse. After seeing him coming right away for cuddles, I chose him and never looked back 🥰 For first rabbits, I'd recommend slightly older ones, 1/2 year. His personality has stabilized with his teenage crisis behind him ! You could look into shelters, which give adult rabbits a second chance. The advantages are that the rabbits are often already neutered and pairs. In addition, the caretakers will be able to give you their character traits to help to choose. As your daughter is very young, a large/medium breed might be a good choice, as they're quite calm and their size makes it easier to interact with them without rushing them. This might dissuade the child from carrying them, which rabbits abhor and can be dangerous with their fragile bones. My sister was 6 and I was 9 when we got our first rabbits, Checkered Giant, and they were so sweet! In my opinion, that's what I recommend ^^

Please stop this myth that rabbits are the cuddliest pets!! The majority are not cuddly and don't like to be picked up or handled too much, thus is why so many people rehome their rabbit's and it is not fair on them. They do make great pets but they are not for everyone and unless you have the patience and love for a rabbit you shouldn't be getting one.

Watch Lennon the Bunny. She talks about the best rabbits to have. Some of the rabbits listed have major problems. Especially lops and dwarfs. And I only say this because our Harlequin just passed at 3 years old and we were devastated. He had intestine issues and we took care of him in every way possible but this was not something they could fix. I don’t want anyone else to ever go through this.

[@MrRambhav]

you said your bunny has intestine issue. Usually that problem gets fixed, if we find the problem in time. Was it long time to figure out that your bunny was suffering. Because I lost my bunny because of that. Until that moment she was healthiest & happiest and never got to see the vet before in a lifetime.
