Holland Lop Bunny Q&A - and Baby Bunny Update

[@UlyssestheBrave]

I love how you noticed the chinchilla feeling intimidated. Your affection lifted its spirit, it seems.

[@sarahcardoso5480]

I love your bunnies. It warms my heart at how well you treat them

[@HooksHollands]

[@darcykirsch9036]

You raise the most beautiful, healthy ,happy rabbits I have ever seen.

[@pippadabun5822]

[@hopearmstrong2042]

4:19 your bunny and cat kissed. It was cute.😌😌😌

[@JaiyanaConyersbeauty]

I couldn’t imagine giving away my bunny I love him to much and if I get more ima keep em forever

[@deepcow]

It’s very obvious you do this out of a passion for the bunnies.

[@MyBlackhawk007]

The white one loves cleaning, he cleans himself and his siblings. So cute

[@ericakauffman5786]

I rescue bunnies and I have to say you are the best rabbitry I have ever come across. Thank you for addressing the show and 4H situation. I am trying to get the word out but it falls on deaf ears. My rescue now I am keeping because of his bad breeding and growing out on a wire bottomed cage. He has dental issues and horrible feet: dislocated toes, etc. I am also trying to advocate against the meat rabbit industry. I have a KZbin channel: Laughing Lagomorphs if you are interested. I'm always looking for feed back.

[@bubbleteaproductions15]

Erica Kauffman Could you explain what you mean by the show and 4-H situation. I'm a little slow today 😅.

[@pepelenormie9409]

Tbh in medieval times the rabbit meat industry supplied a lot of cheap food to people who desperately needed it. We all have to remember there are domestic rabbits, and rabbits that need to be used for their resources. If you can accept that distinction, and recognize the use for it, you'll realize how wonderful it is. Many researchers use rabbits and their meat for research and have discovered wonderful things that ended in the benefit of new information for raising domestic rabbits,

[@bb27232]

i loved this ~ your sincerity and your thoughtful answers, your adorable babies, your lucky paisley ~ everything you post is so helpful and inspiring and charming; worth every moment you put into its creation!

[@HooksHollands]

Thanks so much!

[@LorisHartland]

Thanks for talking about showing bunnies at fairs & such. We went to a local fair a few months back and one of the little bunnies in a cage for show, was lethargic and not moving. It was so extremely hot and the worker of the fair kept trying to stand it up, but it wasn’t happening. He shewed me away so people wouldn’t realize the rabbit was in trouble... it was heartbreaking...thank you for talking about that. 💗

[@HooksHollands]

Yes, fairs are especially strenuous for bunnies because it's often a week that the rabbits have to stay in a usually hot, cramped, uncomfortable environment. Not to mention the potential pathogen exposure. I'm a competitive person, but I can't see putting my bunnies through that just for a few ribbons and notoriety.

[@Taylor-lo8ki]

Hey Littlelotti's Hartland

[@TheVictorious98]

I can watch them forever

[@wiley3840]

Soooo cute. I love watching your videos. Your manner with them is so gentle and loving. It's so nice to see how comfortable they are with being held. Your videos really are relaxing to watch, in part because you're so calm and loving towards them :) Your cat is a saint :)

[@pippadabun5822]

7:26 AWW THAT WHITE AND BALCK BUNNY UNDER THE ARCH he/she sniffed it then fell over 😍😍😍😍

[@racheldizonvideos]

I can’t wait to get a bunny from you some day. You’re so loving to them!

[@LorisHartland]

Omg they are all so cute 💗

Another tip for trimming dark bunny nails: put the clipper on the nail where you think it should be cut, gently squeeze the clippers on the nail two to three times (don't cut, simply put pressure). If the bunny pulls its foot back, you're on the quick. If it doesn't fight it at all, you should be okay. That technique works well with my bun. Never cut the quick on my black mini rex

[@aliecat0555]

I’m dying of cuteness omg

[@busdriver4Christ1]

This is a wonderful video. You and your babies are so sweet. I had a black new Holland lop named bert for 10 years and lost him in august. I want to give those cutie pies a big hug!

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Paisley is just like my two cats who love our two bunnies. It’s really cute when they all fall asleep together. Love your videos and bunnies. This q and a was fun.

[@MariaPerez-qx1lp]

So cute! Specially the dwarf bunnies 🙂 I love those tiny ones! I have a normal rabbit and she's so sweet but hyper.

[@xxbinkybunnies03xx15]

I always look forward to your videos! I didn’t find out in time about this video otherwise I’d ask a question, but you answered one I had :)I hope to one day have a cute little Holland lop❤️

[@brookierex4223]

Thank you for being one of the few humane rabbitry owners in the world. Your work means a lot to people like me who are into veterinary science. :)

[@liseann9163]

Great video! Just got back from my first rabbit show. I came away with a lot of the same feelings. Plus I came home with another bunny. I was able to get cages there with solid bottoms. Thanks for all the info.

[@princeofpop8]

I could watch your bunnies all day.

[@edanwycuff4697]

I love the rabbits and how good you pay attention so well

[@tinnydaisy5446]

I remember when I was little, a friend of my parents gave us a pair of white rabbits. Then rabbits got more and more, so we had to send them away. Female rabbit can deliver 6-7 babies one time in every half year. You can image how many foods and poops every day. They like to jump but easy to fall. But very cute. I miss them so much.

[@carlreinhard1661]

Aww the bunnies are like binkying

[@bm3209]

Oh my goodness! If we ever get the chance, all my family is very close to the Ohio border in Pennsylvania, so maybe one day we could come and get one

[@juliejodoin-krauzyk3400]

What you do is great. I have a Mini Lop and a Lionhead bunny at home. I also participate in 4h. When I'm older I am going to start a small rabbitry.

[@Xilathia]

What breed of bunny is Paisley? She has a long tail and short ears.. hmm.. not quite Netherland Dwarf 🤔

[@HooksHollands]

LOL. Whatever breed, she's a blue-eyed white (only one blue eye though). :)

[@lesliecantu5871]

Xilathia idk she is cute she’s all white and she’s out of the little playpen hahaha

[@amandawebb24]

Im pretty sure it's the rare cateatinghay breed but can't be sure

[@marlenegonzalez941]

[@avazittel7296]

[@iovefabrays]

[@ghostl1124]

[@CrazyParrotLady]

Thank you for answering my question. :) Love your video.

[@CaptainAce0711]

Hi! I was wondering what the mat is underneath the cage is called? Thanks

[@AlliWritesNow]

@Hooks Holland’s have you ever considered placing a camera in your bunny barn & streaming it? I feel like an @Hooks Holland’s ASMR channel (bunny’s naturally make very relaxing sounds,) & you can’t beat the visuals.

[@HooksHollands]

I have thought about it, but our internet couldn't handle it, and I would have a slew of negative comments about the bunnies being in large, solid floor enclosures when not exercising outside or in the barn. :(

[@angbuzz]

Omg is that mary poppins magic box. You kept pulling rabbits out lol

[@madisonsworld2738]

The orange onessssss

[@melissamae5823]

Cutest little bunnies around

[@shelbyeileen7644]

That little broken cream is adorable! Is he/she reserved for anybody?

[@HooksHollands]

All of those bunnies are going to those on the waiting list or staying here with me, I'm sorry. :(

[@shelbyeileen7644]

It's ok! Congrats on having such cute litters! :)

[@Sunnystar660]

There little faces aaaaaaaa I am dieing

[@franmakin5643]

Lovely bunnies

[@alishataylor8950]

I don't have a bunny yet but I've been researching for about a month now and I have heard a couple of things when it comes to getting your rabbit to be comfortable with you. You mentioned leaving it alone at first and then giving the bunny affection. I also hear that you should sit in the same area as your bunny and let the bunny get used to your presence and let the bunny come to you first. Do you have an opinion on that or do you think both of these ways are pretty okay?

[@HooksHollands]

I suggest leaving the bunny alone until it is comfortable enough to eat and drink regularly. Then, sitting with it and letting it investigate you and the environment (in a small area) is ideal.

[@r1verwood695]

your first bunny looks like my Summer Boy, except he is pure Lionhead

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

Little angels.

[@britniforystek0491]

Love this video!!!!!

[@Vicky-oi5jd]

You should do one with Anna’s babies

[@leesekp]

So adorable! Have you ever given the wrong babies back to the momma's? I would get confused as to who belongs to who. 😊

[@HooksHollands]

No, but I would definitely know as the mom would likely attack a baby that wasn't hers. If I have any similar babies, I mark the insides of their ears with marker. I see the babies so often that I generally have no problem identifying which family they belong to. :)

[@Taylor-lo8ki]

I WISH I COULD BUY oNE OF YOU LOPS!!!But I live in Mississippi.

[@amyhughes9952]

I live in ohio and i am going tomorrow to possibly buy a holland lop baby! I will definitely be buying from a breeder than a pet store because Id like to know that they are friendly and have been handled daily..most of the bunnies at pet stores ive noticed haven't been handled much and they dont seem to care who buys them as long as they are selling the pet..since i am shopping around and im in ohio..do you have any available baby lops? Thanks

[@AngelArika]

Mollys broken grey one like to run😂 do you sell all of your baby bunnies?

[@tine2349]

i have 2 polish blue eyes (its just a white bunny with blue eyes ;D)

[@kateashley9269]

Looking to get a pet holland lop. Do you think does or bucks are more sociable and cuddly?

[@veswashere]

I'm 13 and I'm getting a Holland Lop of my own this Sunday (5 days from now). I've had one bunny before but it was my sister's and I did not have to take care of her often. She was a different breed as well. Any tips for first time owners? It would be well appreciated 😁

[@Galactusperson]

Rabbits and cats are a woman's best friend.

[@Puppylover-db6jp]

They are so CUtE

[@pumpkincappuccino5296]

2:39 HE PUSHED HIM OUT THE WAY

[@tls_snt_hre]

Pumpkin Cappuccino woah 😨 that scared me 🤣

[@Nightbird.]

Advice please: I just adopted two four month old male Holland Lop brothers that the owners children no longer had time for and were probably going to be set free in a field because they couldn't find anyone to take them -incredibly irresponsible I know. Although I didn't need any more pets (still trying to get over the loss of my dog from old age) I couldn't let those bunnies suffer and fend for themselves in a field so they are mine now. The problem is that they are very scared and don't want to be held at all. They have tons of high quality hay, pellets, toys, new hutch and playground, and are eating and drinking all the time. So can you please advice on how to befriend them gently without traumatizing them anymore than they have been by being abandoned by their owners? I just want them to be happy with lots of love and affection..but they try to run away every time I get near them. Thank you so much!

[@HooksHollands]

I always suggest sitting in a small area with your buns and ignore them (watch a movie, read, etc). When they begin investigating you, offer a hand to sniff and eventually maybe a small treat like a tiny tear of a leafy green like parsley or leaf lettuce. They are prey animals and need to learn that you are not a threat. It will likely take weeks (or longer) to earn their trust. Neutering around 5/6 months can help too and will be essential so they don't hurt each other (males are very territorial with other males).

[@Nightbird.]

@@HooksHollands Thank you so much for your kind reply. I have ordered a gate system from Amazon so I can sit in with them and not worry about them getting trapped behind furniture and will follow your advice to the letter. They are already letting me scratch their heads through their hutch so I'm very hopeful. Take care and thanks again!
