My bunnies hate being brushed too! If I brush one of them, they give me a thumping fit and "kick dirt" at me in the air😂🤣

[@goatgamer5371]

My also.

[@litteralyurmom2138]

it just makes me giggle when they get zoomies😂😊

[@aliciaarden2019]

Ear wise, omelet is the cutest bunny in the world (after Timmy of course). 😘💝

[@nathanpayne6765]

Omelet! Adorable! I remember when she was tiny!

[@bathshebamills4360]

I really enjoy what you share. I have kept rabbits for over 24 years, everything from Angora, Rex, Cashmere Lops to Mini Lops. I still have many rabbits. I do not brush my rabbits at moult time as they detest it. I have always given my rabbits hay in huge amounts EVERYDAY,, like, more hay than rabbit. Hay has the long chain fiber that keeps the gut moving, so.... even if fur is injested, which it is, the massive amounts of hay keep it moving. I have never had a case of wool block ever. This comment is not meant to contradict your advice, just another way of looking things.

[@mari_the_human]

My bunny hates being groomed too… most of the time he is too interested in the brush! When I try to brush his head he just puts his nose to it and sniffs it the whole time! 😂

[@chaystarling4003]

This has got to be the absolute SWEETEST litter I have ever seen in my entire life. I couldn't decide which baby was my favourite, and Storm was such a sweetheart

[@HooksHollands]

Agreed. These girls were all very sweet just like Mama. :)

[@suzannerust8658]

I have a soft spot in particular for little Tuna 😍

[@yahoo1o1]

the first person view of the bunnies is really cuteness overload!

[@bobbyjoe6365]

2:32 those airplane ears 😂🤣😂

[@jenniferramirez1403]

Omg 😆 ❤❤❤that bunny running in the background was adorable 🥰🥰🥰 I totally got distracted 😂😂🥰🐇🐇❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ss-vm7vw]

I love how some of them were licking you as well thinking they are grooming you too 😂

[@thefemalethunderbirdsnerd3214]

Look at their little ears! I love their names, especially little Cheese Whiz!

[@carlberg7503]

Great to see all the babies together again.

[@daisymaerabbitry]

Omelet finally dropped one ear lol

[@blue_sugar_falls]

You're so lucky and responsible 🥺

[@kmcedd5135]

Awww, they're just so adorable hopping around! And sooo fluffy ❤️❤️

[@Raven11177]

Im in love with Hashbrown. 😍🐰

[@j08trapper]

I just brushed my bunny 🐰 today aaaannnndddd... da daadaa - HE HATED IT!! I use the hair buster & I love it 🥰 What helps him is if a put some hay on the table I groom him on (I put a towel down) & some toys because apparently my bunny llikes to toss things when I brush him so I put stacking cups on the table, a teaspoon of pellets & some dried raisins for a after reward 😊 where I get the most hair for my bunny because he’s a Dutch he has like a line where his brown first starts kind on his back/behind area and that’s were I get the most fur out lol 😂

[@ARLimon74]

Beautiful bunnies ❤!

[@cloverrabbit5622]

Great video for new bunny owners, brushing is very very important. I've had a lot of experience with bloating rabbits, and it's NOT fun!! Even with a diet of pellets, lots of hay and a few greens my bunnies still seem to bloat , but I know the signs and I know what to do. Thanks for sharing. Hope your bunnies are doing well.❤🐰

[@yasminalnuaimi4318]

Your bunnies are just so cute 🥰

[@leetlliesl7120]

aww such cute babies ❤️

[@Richie016]

Brushing bunny coat, grooms the Hollands; keeping them clean from hairballs.

[@Ufuk646]

Thanks for your great Videos!!!❤️

[@andyvalentine6064]

The babies love you so much…and oats🥰

[@casemiroparadella]

I love this channel the rabbits are beautiful

[@maytherabbit1800]

Thank you so much for making this!

[@sandyalbanese8393]

Major cuteness.

[@razorburn645]

Adorable.

[@angeladyson7367]

Love this video. All those binkies. 😊

[@chloeruegg2352]

Awww. Just had a the chance to see this. What adorable babies. I'm so jealous of you Diane. 😊

[@daaniab6190]

thank you so much for this video! i have a 7 month old bunny and he's pretty fidgety!

[@rebeccal.672]

Thanks for sharing and it was really great to see the babies together again.

[@mayurpatel2901]

I have had good results with using a boar bristle shaving brush. You can get these in the men's section at the pharmacy. They are soft but if you condition the brush then the bristles develop split ends which makes them a magnet for fine rabbit hairs.

[@haytreatsathome]

So cute! We have the same brush and it does work really well! It is a life saver if you have multiple buns in the house! The amount of hair they shed is not for the faint of heart🤣🐰 Thank you for this wonderful content to start our day!

[@24carrotgold8]

Precious todlers! 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🥰

[@deborahmiles1667]

I love your bunnies ! Cheez Whiz is my favorite ❤️ I have a 4 month old black tort .

[@shikhaagarwal6135]

I love how some bunnies don't even let their owners pet them whereas your bunnies willing come and sit on your back or your shoulder 🥺

[@lolareevess]

I love the pen!! Where’d you get it? Also love the buns and these tips🥰🥰

[@gillperkin404]

Please can you do a tour of your bunnie barn or a daily routine, I love watching your buns they are adorable!! 😁😁♥️♥️

[@juanmanuelhuamanminaya9939]

Nice!!!!!!

[@hefiona7542]

This vide is so cool

[@deliabravo3671]

It was good seeing all the bunnies together again. I bet that comb will work well on my cat's fur. I have a small metal comb without the silicone. I saw that it costs $20, not cheap. 🐇🐾🐱

[@HooksHollands]

Yeah, I wish it were cheaper too, but it is so effective (and durable in my experience) that it's a worthy investment. I've wasted a lot of money on cheaper brushes/combs that don't work well too. 🤪

[@paulamorgan8246]

I use that one too! Some like it some hate it!

[@landismithCOJ]

I love these bunnies. Question: I see a lot of bunnies late at night at the park near my home. Are bunnies normally nocturnal?

[@HooksHollands]

Bunnies are crepuscular, meaning most active early evening and in the morning. They generally sleep late morning through mid-afternoon and off and on through the night, but they are somewhat active during the night, yes.

[@sc9647]

Thank you so much! You have been the best bunny channel so far. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge! How old are lops when their ears officially "lop" : ) Do rabbits ever need water baths or damp cloth baths? I can't see why they would, but wanted to ask. Thank you!

[@suzannerust8658]

So lovely to see mama Storm and her babies once again and I love how gentle you are with them, you can tell that those (and the rest of your bunnies) are well looked after and well loved too x

[@chostier1601]

3:32 had me laughing lol.

[@HooksHollands]

I can never witness a binky without smiling! 😁

[@itsolivia2723]

If the bunnies are running away I would recommend brushing them with the brush horizontal to the fur, I find that helps since it does not really poke them :)

[@123flibble321]

Hi Diane we love watching your videos here in the UK. Your bunnies are so well behaved but I'm not surprise as you train them so well. We have a rescue bun that's very difficult to handle never mind brush. He also loves to jump out his pen. Where did you get your fantastic perspex pen from / what brand is it? Thanks very much Simon

[@HooksHollands]

Hi Simon. The exercise pen in this video is from Clearly Loved Pets. I have the shorter (27" tall I believe) pen, but I'd recommend their taller version for adult bunnies or good hoppers. :)

[@flopsybunnies5841]

Amazing video! Could you to a tour of your bunny barn soon?

[@gillperkin404]

Yes please do a tour 😁😁

[@theenergyisoff]

Okay this explains why my bun is shedding so much fur. He’s about 10 months now. I didn’t know about molting. I’ve been brushing his though, using a cat brush, but was wondering why there was so much

[@monikaanders6421]

so hübsche Tiere😍 wunderschön🤗🤗😍👍❤️

[@HooksHollands]

Vielen dank! ♥

[@errendipnarine]

0:07 thought that was a knife and was like 😮

[@Cierra_Marie]

Can you make a video on a young rabbits diet transitioning to an adults diet with the ages of when you transition? Thank you for your amazing videos and being a great example of an ethical breeder and giving these bunnies an amazing life!

[@HooksHollands]

Around 12 weeks, I transition to Sherwood adult pellets from baby pellets and continue to give a thumb-sized piece of leafy green on occasion as tolerated, working up to a handful of greens by 6 months of age.

[@Cierra_Marie]

@@HooksHollands Thank you for replying with that info!

[@vijinkamble3088]

🔥🔥

[@issoa6761]

My Bunny is terrified of the brush, if she see's it she'll run from it! I'll keep on trying! Thanks for the tips!

[@jcmeegy3498]

Hi we are about to adopt a mini lop so I have a question is that with they ears some have down loopy ears and some kind of half straight pointy ear we ask the breeder if the ears will drop all the way down and she said it will drop in a year was wondering if it true ? Will it really drop all the way down or stay mid way pointy

[@alexandrap9129]

I like yours bunnies. I have bunny too. He is 9 years old. From Russia 🇷🇺 with 😍.

[@alkied9491]

for those that have to brush the belly of the bunny, what's the best approach?

[@tay_27]

I need this my bunny is molting bad I have to brush him 3 times a day so I think he is getting better at it but I still need tips

[@dantaylor333]

I should comb my bunny more often, she is moulting now

[@kelleyleblanc5025]

Awesome video. FYI those brushes can be pricey. I got a cheap double row comb off Amazon and wove a thick rubber band through the teeth (idea from a YTchannel) and this works very well for my bunny

[@HooksHollands]

Yes, I've tried that myself. It worked decently, but I don't think I had the proper rubber band material. Great idea for those who want a DIY project though! :)

[@hardygajjar7861]

Hi , i have a question, my hollandlop is 9 weeks old, i notice small shedding .should or can i brush him. Also whenever i try to move him in siff room in his habbitat he try to be free alot and do struggle so i always have to be really careful . He allows to pet me but not to lyft what should i do, pls suggest thank you.

[@bunnie800]

Last week I was brushing one of my bunnies (with the same hair buster comb that you have) and soooo much fur was coming out. I then discovered that my bunny had bald spots from the grooming!! 😱 I’ve never had this happen before, so of course I freaked out and stopped grooming him! My bunny seems ok but he’s still trying to regrow the fur in those spots. Have you ever had this happen? My bunny is 1 year old.

[@HooksHollands]

I've had what looked like bald spots appear during molts, but upon closer inspection, there is usually very short new fur growing there. I wouldn't be concerned unless it were a lot of bald skin/spots or if there were flakes on the skin (possibly indicating fur mites).

[@blue_sugar_falls]

Did they get used to the glass walls?

[@WesTaylor]

Where do you buy a bunny even though im not getting one I just want to know...

[@kwanchan6745]

how do you keep your transparent panels clean ? my bunnies love spraying urine on each other, and the calcium in that causes streaks on everything

[@HooksHollands]

I've used water and a water/vinegar mix and haven't had issues yet, but I've only had this exercise pen about a month.

[@camilleargueta5505]

Where did you buy the vegetable blanket?

[@HooksHollands]

[@daisymaerabbitry]

I was just thinking I wonder when she's gonna post again lol

[@startactioncamerarolling1555]

the grey one is so hyperactive to jump around the area. 😂

[@cindybarton8562]

💖💕🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇💕 /••\ Great advice!!~* Mostly I gently lift away the molting fur. There is new growth that can often be seen beneith it growing in, so it really does lift with ease!!~* 💕🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇💕

[@miah7]

One of my bunnies doesn’t even sit still for bribery and it’s getting a bit much now, it’s like every time you touch her with the brush it’s shocking her and she literally won’t sit still for anything. Any ideas anyone?

[@user-rr5gb2hq8z]

Bento!

[@juno2545]

HELP: Today I came to my rabbit to get her out of her cage and she has blood on her fur, I look closer and her ear is cut open and her back paw is bloody, she scratched her ear and it cut open, what do I do

[@HooksHollands]

I would clean the wound, and seek veterinary care if the cut is severe or completely through the edge of an ear to where she might catch it and tear it further.

[@Star-dj1kw]

Omelet says: Lady, now I will groom you!

[@hansimgluck4965]

[@sonakshikamble4957]

Please write rabbit video my favourite Rabbit 🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😻😻😻😘😘😘😘

[@iamalysmifsud]

My four months old bunny (lily) is shedding her baby coat. This was so helpful to know that they have to sed thier bby coat, Andy other one(cotton tail) is molting right now and thier is fur everywhere, go follow them on insta @cottontail_lily

[@iamalysmifsud]

Thanks so much hook's Hollands 😁

[@p.p2642]

I want one..cant you give me one..lol

[@Msxallisonwonderland]

It is very difficult to brush my bunny boy's tummy area. He will bite or kick his legs when I try to pull him in to my chest to brush his tummy. What do you suggest to make these kind of jumpy bunnies chill?

[@Youkakun]

6:44 New bunny trend discovered: reverse-grooming.

[@HooksHollands]

Ha ha, indeed :)

[@rushgeddy8375]

Here's the puzzle, for thousands of years of evolution, they had no one to brush them and they survived, but I agree they must be brushed

[@HooksHollands]

True, but my argument would be that wild rabbits, over thousands of years, demonstrated a "survival of the fittest" concept, with only those with the most keen instincts and robust bodies (i.e. digestive systems) surviving longer than a few seasons. Domestic rabbits are indeed sensitive, for the most part, and definitely benefit from having the loose fur removed. :)
