First time Bunny Owner TIPS! + I Got a NEW Baby Holland Lop Vlog

Hello Kaibigan,
I am so happy, excited and proud to announce that I am now a new bunny mum! EVERYBODY MEET MY BABY BUN SOPHIE! It was a decision that happened at the moment but something the Lord has prepared me for without me knowing. In a couple of weeks I have grown to be a bunny expert on what not to do and what to do. So much of my knowledge came from personal experience and other's advice. It's still a process that I am continuing to grow in and I am so happy to be doing! My baby bunny has given our family so much joy and we are so happy to have her part of our family. I hope this video helps you as a first time bunny parent or a casual heart warming entertainment!

I had a bunny for 9 years. She stole my heart and I still love her always. I got her as a baby, trained her young and bonded. It was a WONDERFUL 9 years. I had another bunny for 8 years and became homeless and finally found a job but the adoption rescue place texted, did not call, just texted after my shift they adopted him out and I was never allowed to see him again. I miss and loved my bunny. I love seeing you so excited and adoring of these wonderful pets.

[@Robynshorses]

I love how you talk about how God and how he has helped you with Sophie

[@ehcee03]

Was not expecting to hear about God while browsing bunny videos on KZbin!!! Looooove! Please make more bunny videos (though I see you now have a baby so time is precious and congratulations for the blessing)!

[@linastrindlund2830]

me too :D bless you guys

[@warcraftaddict117]

There is NOTHING like precious little bunny kisses. My bunny would lick my nose, my chin and ear lobes. She was such a precious friend.

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Don’t forget to trim her nails every month or so! You can use little baby clippers or they have rabbit nail scissors. and they shouldn’t have any veggies or fruit until about 5 months old, just mostly hay, little bit of pellets and fresh water☺️ She’s adorable

[@melqueaolaru7850]

Thanks for the reminder!

[@Kayla___browniscool]

Is it just me or did everybody start to cry when she started talking about god omg my new idol

[@brittneylashaeg.5116]

Praise God! I am also a believer and have been praying for a bunny for years. My grandma and dad finally are going to let me have one. I am so excited!

[@Invisble748]

Glad you did your research. I also want to mention that bunnies can be adopted. Many bunnies in shelters need homes. It is also cheaper to adopt a bunny and they’re already spayed and neutered.

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

I had bunnies all my childhood. The best i ever had actually looked like the one from the video. I had him for at least 12 years, and he was just gorgeous, and so affectionate. I still miss him to that day.

[@shaylas_snakes]

“The very life of god is breathed into this creature” beautiful 🤩

[@melqueaolaru7850]

AWWWHHHH! THAT MEANS SO MUCH! When I first met Sophie that is exactly what I felt! She meshes with our family so well!

[@user-sj5eo3og6p]

Brittany IM ALSO GETTING A bunnie !! Tomorrow actually I think !! Excited ❤❤❤

[@sebastianolaru6418]

So adorable! 😍

[@melqueaolaru7850]

😍😍😍

[@ReeesesPuffin]

That looks just like my bunny! Same color and eye color

[@_EmmGrace_]

Yes! I'm a believer too. I love the worship part :)

[@melqueaolaru7850]

AWHH GOOD TO MEET YOU HERE SISTER! THANK YOU!!

[@Drummerfamily186]

I like lennon! She helped me when i first got my male rabbit cinnabun!

[@ladyphenix6407]

Amazing video

[@warcraftaddict117]

AH YES--good point with the cords. I cant recall the name of the product I got but it is probably something similar to what you showcase here. I got the product I had at Container Store (covers the cords).

[@fitnessbuff2719]

We just lost our Holland lop, Bunilla, after nearly 8 years -- he was a year old when we got him from the animal shelter. He lived a long, happy life with my husband and me. We are still in mourning. It warms my heart to see your Sophie. Rabbits are prey animals, so intuitively they associate getting picked up with getting eaten. We only picked up Bunilla when we needed to administer eyedrops. Definitely bunny proof the areas you let her run around. Also, after about 6 months have her fixed. It prevents cancers females develop otherwise-- you'll have her longer. You are right -- they are a lot of work, and you definitely need to be financially stable.

[@nazzyjong7371]

Omg i have 8 bunnies i’m happy to see your bunny🥹💗🐰

[@melqueaolaru7850]

What kind of bunnies do you have!? Yes! I love my Sophie she makes me laugh a lot!

[@warcraftaddict117]

I used an oversized kennel for my rabbits as their sleeping area. With my Flemish lop being larger, I invested in two large dog play pens cuz as he grew older, he really did not run around that much, he was more a lap bunny, He wasn't interested in zooming around but had plenty of space and also had his own room. You do have to be careful of kennels though if the bunny is too small or big...you dont want them trying as an infant to stick their head through the squares or getting their paws stuck. I just found the kennels easier to wipe down and clean--removing the carefresh and cleaning it down.

[@tatebros7444]

This has really helped me and this is the first video i have seen on your channel and it is so sweet that she loves worship music im am going to get a bunny soon but we have some dog like 2 and one is the dad and his name is Bo and he's a golden doodle and his daughter she's a my Bo and this stray great dane but she died she got shot but it's ok so yea she is a lil wild but she listens so yea im going to have a bunny!!!

His eyes are purple 🥺🩷💗

[@warcraftaddict117]

Sophie is beautiful

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

is everything going well with Sophie?

[@Oluwatoyosi.A]

This video is nicee❤ I’m thinking of getting a bunny but I don’t know if I’m ready to explore them yet…I’ve mainly only been used to cats and dogs

[@melqueaolaru7850]

Yes! I would say they are very similar to cats in terms of being at home, personality and litter training!

[@aub.reyann]

Aww! What do you recommend? A holland lop or an english lop? I use to foster around 6 bunnies a couple years ago and so i have somewhat experience, i just get allergies to animal hair and i know that holland lops need brushing weekly, i am debating on a holland or a english.

[@melqueaolaru7850]

Hmmm... I have no experience with English but I do love the size of a Holland in terms of their looks with the lop innocent looking ears. My family thought they were allergic but they were fine after 4 months of baby sitting once I had a newborn!

[@aryssacurnew6557]

I have a 13 week old Holland lop bunny she is my baby. Their so smart my bunny uses the litter box and plays fetch.

[@melqueaolaru7850]

Yes!!! They are way too smart! Haha Litter trained already! Wow impressive! Great Job!

[@HustlerJerbear]

She has a very Americanized voice

[@warcraftaddict117]

IF you get another bunny, introduce them first. The one you might want may not be the one Sophie wants! I got two rex rabbits in my early 20s and I read all I could on bunnies before getting them and one of the main things said was dont get two males or two females because they'll by territorial. OH BOY. so I got little Hazo (vision in Hebrew) and Mishma (hearing in Hebrew) was a few months old. I was like WHAT have I done? She HATED this THING at first. She had been so gentle but MAN the jealousy! This foreign THING I had brought into live with us. SHE HATED Hazo at first and I had to keep them seperate because even in her cage she would lunge and grunt at him. Eventually they sorta got somewhat along but were never bonded as best buds.

[@destinyandreptiles]

how old was she when you got her?

[@kiajohnson7957]

Do she shed a lot?

[@annemaduzia2570]

Hi there, can you tell me the name of the breeder you got her from? I've been looking for vm chocolate hollands for a while.

[@melqueaolaru7850]

The breeder is located in BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA :)

[@user-sj5eo3og6p]

LOVE ur biblical references saying this as a Christian 😊

[@christinagreaves7932]

I had rabbits when little and 2 when i got married , wait until you get a dog ! Im on my 3rd golden retreiver now , its another level of love and interation , youll never want another bunny , x

[@skymckay]

I have 2 dogs & 2 rabbits & much rather rabbits lol. Dogs are just too much.

[@christinagreaves7932]

@@skymckay i here you ! I may get another bunny oneday , i love them

[@evie3985]

Why such unnecessary negativity, rabbits are better than dogs in a lot of other ways

[@roselindabintiismail919]

So cutee and make sure you give her some love for me

[@melqueaolaru7850]

I gave her a hug for you!!!

[@navypoey101]

Where do you get your bunny ?

[@GoofyCatShow]

You can get them at pet stores but its reccomended to adopt them from shelters because your saving bunnies and not just buying bunnies to give the breeders money

[@dardarstar]

please adopt !! rabbits who are adopted are way cheaper and also have less health issues usually :)

[@xanxya]

where did u find her?

[@melqueaolaru7850]

I got her from a breeder. I first went to an animal shelter to adopt a bunny but all of them at the time had 3 months waiting list at least. There were not a lot of bunnies that were available, I also specifically wanted a dwarf breed like a holland lop. Also, during covid they had a policy where you can't meet the bunnies first which was important to me to get a feel of their temperament.

[@warcraftaddict117]

Uh, its not false advertising about the litter box. You REALLY have to train them early on, get it repetitively in them to use this space and this space only. It takes a LOT of patience. Plus, it also depends somewhat on the personality of the bunny. Some are more cleanly, some are more messy. Sex is also a factor, males will especially if there is another male bunny around poo and pee as territorial. My mishma rabbit (rex rabbit) HATED her cage cleaned every week. But it had to be done! Then she would spend a good 10-15 minutes with a scowl on her face having squeaked and grunted in protest through the entire ordeal, pushing this over there with her paws and gathering up that with her paws to her JUST the way SHE wanted! But she never peed or poo in the apartment. If she wanted to go, she went in her kennel to the corner and pee& pooed there. My third rabbit, a male was a bit messier in general, but he had been trained as a baby when I got him and he also kept things to his litter box, pellets got scattered about because he ran in short bursts of energy but it wasn't cuz he was going all over the place. Bunnies heart rates beat wayyyy faster than ours, they live in speed motion. They eat fast, and they have to eat a lot to keep their teeth ground down, so it just goes with who they are that they poop a lot., One tip I saw the other day in a bunny video I had not been told about but that made sense, when you're litter training them, put the box right where they eat, so they understand, this is the eat and poop station. This is the one place for all of this. So I can poop while or after I eat kinda deal, then I can go hop around and have fun. Instead of picking up the poop with your fingers (which I did too with my first bun bun) I recommend getting a pooper scooper.

[@warcraftaddict117]

I will say tho as a fellow believer, which you may or may not be aware of, soaking worship is steeped in the new age "light" occultism. I used to dabble in new age myself, having lived in CA. I recommend worship music like Beckah Shae, Christafaris old music, Paul WIlbur (Jewish Christian), Jonathan Maracle and Broken Walls (Native Christian), Shane & Shane, Yolanda Adams (gospel), Steven Curtis Chapman, Rebecca St. James, Miqedem (Jewish Christian worship), Strahan, Josh Garrels, Ian Zumback, Hazakim, and a few others. Worship music that actually honors God instead of the fleshly feeling we get as humans in worship really hasnt been around or desired since the early 2000's, sadly enough.

[@linastrindlund2830]

You should in the future spay her and get anothoer bunny so she can have a normal social life.

[@fairmaiden6472]

ok....do NOT give her iceberg lettuce like in the video. This is poisonous to your bunny

[@dardarstar]

please adopt your next rabbit if you plan to have one since it is way cheaper and way better health wise anyways (for the bunny) 🫶😊
