hi! I saw that you might be using pine or cedar shavings for their litter; it's not recommended to use because it contain phenols which is basically chemical that can potentially harm your rabbit's lungs and liver in the long run. I would also suggest in changing the water bottle to a water bowl. Rabbits can drink as much water as a small dog; bottles can cause dehydration just because it takes effort to drink from. No hate at all, I can see you want to do the best for your buns!

Thank you for the advice! I already know that, which is why I choose Aspen bedding. I use a bottle bowl dispenser for Sapphire, my older rabbit. I just got the bottle because it came with the hay rack I got for Lainey, and I've been using a little bowl for her, so she has both. I plan on buying her the same setup Sapphire has, but I didn't want to risk her drowning in a bowl since she's so small right now.

their cages look so small and dirty :( did you really even clean it out. imagine if you had to live in your own pee and dirt in a small room for ur entire life. its just so neglectful and irresponsible

[@cheridanangel7998]

hello 👋 I appreciate your concern for my rabbits. I assure you, I take their care very seriously. The cages are temporary and meet the minimum space requirements, but I am actively working on upgrading them to provide more space and enrichment. I clean their cages regularly and ensure they have a clean, comfortable environment. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm always looking for ways to improve their living conditions. Thank you for watching and caring about the well-being of my bunnies!

I understand that we may like a specific look but to be honest it's really sad that you didn't give other bunnies a chance just because of the look. So so so many bunnies in shelters are waiting and people always have the same excuse " i couldn't find what I was looking for".

[@cheridanangel7998]

Hi there! Just to clarify, it wasn't about the look of the rabbits. Many were already adopted, breeders were selling them for outrageous prices, or they were too far away from me. I had to consider all these factors before choosing Lainey. Thanks for understanding!

I really try not to be this person. But so many things wrong and it doesnt seem like you have done much research I have read some of your other comments. However, 1. your eldest bunnies cage looks filthy. Even if you care about the care for your rabbits, that cage would be unacceptable. Take it out. Scrub, it hose it off. 2. The cages are way too small. Even as a baby. The only time that could be ok is maybe if the rabbit is injured and needs limited movement. Xpens or even large dog kennels with lots of free roam time. Laney has absolutely no room to move aside from her litter box 3. I do hope you do not plan to put both your bunnies in the same cage 4. They need a water bowl. As a baby they are not at risk of drowing so much that a water bottle is "safer". If that is smth youre worries about fill tje bowl a small amount and just keep on top of it I do believe you care for tour rabbits. But i urge you to do some more research

I'm sorry you feel that way. I never want to be mean or rude in my responses, but I need to clarify a few things: I've done extensive research and have over 10 years of experience owning rabbits. You don't know my life situation. I recently moved everything back into my house after rewiring, so their cages are temporary. Plastic can get stained when it gets dirty, even after scrubbing with Dawn detergent, which I do. I use a vinegar and water solution for spot cleaning, and for deep cleaning, I wash their cages with Dawn detergent, which is safe for animals. I know their cages need upgrading, and I’m actively working on that. I let them out daily for exercise in the exercise pen. They get ample exercise and care off-camera as well. Regarding water bowls, Sapphire has a water bowl bottle dispenser that prevents spills. The bowl water bottle is a mix between a bowl and a bottle-it refills the bowl when it gets empty. For Lainey, I’m going to buy her a similar water dispenser when she’s bigger. Right now, she uses a tiny bowl and a bottle. The water bottle came with the hay rack. This was supposed to be a super fun and exciting video for me. I’ve had a hard year. I lost my rabbit of nine years earlier this year, and there have been many things going on. This video was meant to be a joyful experience, but instead, my comment section is filled with criticism. You don't know the whole story, and instead of asking simple questions, the comments feel more like attacks. I don’t appreciate that. I'm so sorry if I came across as mean or rude-that's never my intention, and I never want to make people feel bad or upset. I've had a tough day, and receiving this comment didn’t help. Usually, I’m very nice in my responses, but I’ve reached my limit today. I appreciate your concern for my rabbits, but please think before you comment. You don’t know what happens off-camera. Thank you for understanding.
