How To Survive Your First Week with a Rabbit (bunny proofing, potty training & free roaming!)

[@Feed_the_Kitty_a_Hotdog]

Our newest bunny is 5 years old. We’ve only had him for a week. I sat on the floor in front of his pen while he was eating his veggies last night I started talking to him; then he got mad and stomped at me. 😂 Pretty hilarious. I just left him alone after that. We have 5 other rabbits that are 8 to 11 years old; and we’ve fostered over 50 bunnies in the last 10 years. He obviously doesn’t like to be bothered at meal times. 😊

[@MysonKirby]

I studied and read all about Rabbits for almost 2 months. When I first Adopted My Son Kirby 🐇, I slept on the floor for 3 day's. Let him come to me. The first morning I woke up he had Chewed my shoes. By the 3 night, he tried to take the Treats from my shirt pocket. He looked at me and did the Super Man Pose just watching me. I made sure that I Bunny proof my home first. Kirby 🐇 is a Flemish Giant, Free Roamer, and Eating Chewing Machine, 15 lbs of Pure Fun. Big Time Chewer. He has Chewed, 2 beds, blankets, rugs, furniture,cord's, Shoes, clothes and my hair. I forgot almost all my jeans 👖 have been Chewed at the bottom. When we watch TV together at night he will jump on the couch, 🛋️ or do the Super Man Pose between my legs. I Promised Him No Cage Never Again. I Meant It. Kirby 🐇 is the Boss of the House. He's My Life. A 73 year old Crazy Bunny Father.🤗👍✨🥰💝🥕🥬🍌🐰

Cinnabun is an adorable bunny 🐰 🐇 💙 It is so much fun to watch him play! If this is the second bunny 🐰 🐇 you have had it won't take long for you to realize you will probably need to do more bunny proofing! Have a great Sunday, Cinnabun! Bunnies 🐰 🐇 RULE!

I have a,ways had free range buns too, as a kid my whole room was their room, as an adult now we still keep the x pen for bedtime as we have other animals and love that bun can have some free time to rest and have time away from the other animals in our home, so everyone is safe and well

[@mycharity4kids]

I got my bunny Woody as a little ball of fur fitting in my hands. She needed some time to get use to me on her first day home. My little bunny is big now. We love to bond together.

[@joek5205]

I'm enjoying watching these videos, as Cinnabun's owner knows what she's going to say, being clear and organized about presentation, and not using the word 'like' in every sentence! A pleasant learning video to reinforce and clarify what I've researched (about a few weeks from adopting). Thanks!

[@Minaaurpookie]

mine had sadly passed away because i didnt take care of it well since i didnt know the basics but ever since ive been watching your channel i started to understand my mistakes and decided to get a new bunny and started free roaming without you i feel like my life would be miserable. Tysmmm!

[@driftwoodkj1481]

My rabbit bonded really quickly, and litter trained really well. He free roams during the day, and goes in a massive pen at night. Mainly because I wouldn’t have any furniture left if he was left out. He’s now five, and has decided he likes digging in his litter tray and making it flew all over my sitting room, especially when it’s fresh litter. He also loves throwing around his food bowl. I tried water in a bowl as they say don’t give them bottles, but the water in the bowl lasted two minutes before ending up on the floor. I tried all types of bowls and he’s such a big rabbit, he manages to throw all of them. I bunny proofed, but I still have no bottoms on my curtains, chewed carpet, and so many holes in my leather sofa, it looks like a patchwork. I even made the mistake once of drying a top on the radiator, and when I looked, one arm was laying on the floor. Now he’s older, he doesn’t jump around so much as he has arthritis in his back half. He does like to learn on you while he’s sleeping. His breed only lives to six. The vet said he may live longer as he’s well cared for. He is a joy to have, he will be greatly missed when it’s his time to go.

[@JdeeReadings]

This is my first time seeing baby Cinnabun, as I think it was like 6 months or so after you started your channel I subbed. I had already had my girl Momo for a while, my bro had put her outside in a hutch. But because of your channel and Lennon's I managed to get her inside to inside free-roam but she went outside every day for 4 hours at a time. I bonded with her within 3 weeks. When I got Jin it was like 5-6 weeks till we bonded. He was curious about me though I'd sit on the floor film my tiktoks and he would be chasing things around me, so cute. Now he likes to jump on my bed give kisses get pets as I'm drifting off to sleep. Then he'd put himself to bed.

[@clothildanshalang6230]

Cinna is soo adorable. i got my Honeymoon when he was only three weeks old and immediately we played a bonding game and that meant lesser time for potty training, my regret came when he can now pee and poop that he did it everywhere, uncontrollably. we are two moths together and potty training is not consistent as i work 8 to 5. thank you for your video, soo encouraging and i will start right over with introductions. this is my second punny, we did so well with my first, simply because we took a lil longer to bond, and even when we did, it was never as close as i wished.

[@madameviolet8100]

Ill be getting my first ever bunny in 5 days and this is my 7th times watching this video.. i am soo nervous and excited at the same time!!!😂😂😂❤️

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Thanks for making these. I brought home a couple of 4 month old boys recently (different litters but they had been together since 8 weeks and are very friendly toward one another). Right now they're limited to just my room, and they learned pretty quick to pee in the litter, but they're still pooping everywhere 😅 One of them is also spraying a lot which is kind of frustrating to deal with, but they're both booked in for their neutering soon so 🤞 that helps the poor behaviour and to speed up litter training so they can roam the rest of the house :)

My two rabbits are right now separated and are in a big walk in closet. When my brother moves out we are going to move them and free roam them in his old room. They are male and female, separated because they weren’t fixed. Male is neutered, female gets spayed July 27. When she has healed we are gonna bond them and conjoin their areas!

[@ali4296]

I want to get a rabbit and keep it in my closet, I also have a very big walk in closet. But I was wondering if it was difficult or just like they were in any other room. Would they try and chew on your clothes that would hang up? Did you have to put up any grids or something to protect your baseboards? If you still live with your parents how did you convince them to let your rabbits live in your closet?

[@abbij2009]

@@ali4296 when they were babies I had them in my room in a big play pen, but as they got older, one started jumping out and jumping onto my dresser and chewing everything, so I got another playpen and moved them into the closet (2 play pens in closet, one play pen for each) the pens kept them from chewing the base boards, and I put the one that doesnt jump high near the door. It was basically like any other room, besides the cats chilling with them every once and awhile (The cats dont attack they just lay with the rabbits). Its my moms closet so we just hung the clothes on higher clothes racks. I only live with my mom, older brother, and my brothers girlfriend, so I only had to convince my mom. I just told her that as they grow they needed more space because they need to be able to run around and stuff. She knew i loved them so she let me. My brother is 20 so fingers crossed he moves out soon lol. P.S: One rabbit is more destructive than the other, so i had to put hard plastic on the floor with a few mats, where as the other one gets a blanket for floor.

I’ve been enjoying your channel and learning a lot about bunnies. I recently adopted a Holland Lop. I’ve been wondering why you don’t have 2 bunnies instead of 1. I thought that would be an interesting video since a lot of people think rabbits shouldn’t be “alone”. I know the bonding process can be difficult and frustrating but I’ve been thinking about getting a second bun. I’m so curious about your feedback on this subject. Thank you 🙏🏻

My bunnies just bite me and yes I've done all of these

[@karsyn4616]

I would say probably have a spray that a bunny will not like or be interested in, just google it, and just spray that where you don’t want chews, and you can also put clear tape on the furniture!

I've had my Monroe for a few months, but she still doesn't seem to like using her litter box... I clean up all the time around her area, but I'm too scared to let her freeroam when she has a habit of just pooping anywhere, knowing that I'll clean it up 😢 I know it's gonna be hard bunny proofing my room for her to freeroam at all, but I'm worried about her making a mess under my bed with how hard it is for me to clean there- what if I can't get her to free roam or bond properly with her?- she trusts me enough to come to me after calling her a few times and likes to climb on my head and face every now and then when I get down to her level- but I've been so anxious over this... maybe I should have waited until I bunny proofed first?- but she showed up in our yard, and I just couldn't turn her away 😭

My bun is outdoor but he have a 2m wooden hutch which is tarped in the extreme weather and the floor is a soft blanket. I let him out to play every day for around 2 hours and we refill his food and water bowls and clean his litter everyday. I am not sure if this is appropriate for rabbits or wether I should bring my bun inside, cuz my parents don’t allow him inside. The hutch is 2 stories and the second floor is a little hides hole for him and the bottom floor is like food and litter and stuff. Unfortunately my neighbour has two cats which frequently come into our backyard but they’ve stopped since we now have a pet as well. Any suggestions?
