In Depth Senior Rabbit Care + Free Roam Bunny Daily Routine

[@MarSpooders]

You're an awesome bunny mom, Lennon is defiently so lucky to have you as her mom. :)

[@gwynethrachaelcooper1957]

It's wonderful to see that despite Lennon many health issues she still is very active. I have extremely severe fibromyalgia. Basically I'm in constant pain 24/7 and need to take lots of medicine. Keep on hopping Lennon. Your are an inspiration to both bunny rabbits and us hoo-minions.

[@sanchitadutta8900]

It's so difficult to see and accept our pets getting older, we always see them as a little tots hopping around and coming towards us for their favourite treats. Seeing them in trouble really gives a heartache

[@kaylashell3960]

You are such a wonderful bun mom Lennon is one blessed bunny!!

[@SS-xr7jf]

Omg the paint roller grid ramp is so clever

[@SarahAnaya-ox3tb]

Ikr

[@Lizzzy_0]

Making a ramp for the litterbox is such a smart idea! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!

[@illusionssx]

seeing “senior rabbit” in the title broke my heart as i didn’t know she was that old:( BUT, i’m happy she’s doing well though and is living with such a loving parent. thank you for the information you’ve provided over the years, as new bunny owners like i was surely appreciate it

[@elev3n581]

Your love for your rabbit is truly inspiring. I unfortunately lost my bunny 2 days ago and I use to watch your videos to learn more About them and take care of mine. This brings me so much joy and grows my love for bunnies more🫶🏼. I will hopefully get more in the future to come ❤️

[@barbaraNivens-ev7yp]

I am so sorry to hear this. They bring so much joy to our lives. 💞

[@padaj.27]

Your bunny is an angel. And you are her guardian angel. I love you guys.❤

[@that_person6983]

Thanks Lori. Been watching for couple years now and thanks for the videos about rabbit care and appreciate you for sharing this info Lori and hope you and Lennon do well together.

[@kiara2954]

I’m not sure how to even say this but my bunny passed away an hour ago I’ve just been sobbing and throwing up I’d never imagine writing something like this and I never thought of how to deal with it. she was an absolute cutie and such a sweetheart I don’t how to deal with this but I feel like this community would understand. She was my baby, rest in peace Storm❤🕊️🕊️

[@Kakwidorkd]

I am so sorry❤❤ praying for you, she was so lucky to have u as her mom

[@tatiaa7206]

I’m so sorry ❤😢

[@xrobloxstorysx]

I am so so sorry for your loss ❤ I hope you are ok now

[@Charlottethebunny16]

You're doing so good with Lennon! She's such a lucky bunny. You are so strong and such a good bun mom!

[@TitanicHorseRacingLover]

I love you and Lennon. What a sweet bunny she is. She is so blessed to have you as her bumom.

[@freddiemercury103]

Love watching and knowing I'm not alone 🧡

[@BlinkyTheSpaceCadet]

I can only hope to handle this transition when our time comes with as much calm, poise and dedication as you two have!

[@Sofia-yb8ju]

Way to go😊 Lori, Lennon is doing great, ain't nothing like lots of love for our cotton tail babies to heal them. You are a precious mom

[@Orangina345]

Thank you! To know this information is here, is so helpful for when the time comes.. I admire your work so much! Thinking of you and Lennon often!

[@left_embolden]

Thank you so much for another senior care video, Lorelei! So much was real and relatable with my senior boy, it makes the transition so much less isolating seeing it in your videos with lovely Lennon 💜 you are making a difference in normalizing a natural life care change!

[@jasondrummond9451]

This is going to benefit so many senior buns and their bun parents! I wish I'd had access to this info when my girlz hit the decade mark - their lives would have been much better, and probably longer. Thanks so much!

[@ildykobrehel5895]

I had senior bunnies many times, my oldest bunny was around 14, and we had to adjust so many things for her...Now we have two senior male bunnies..Your doing a great job with Lennon hope she can live a couple of more happy years, her fur still looks amazing!!! Love to both of you

[@BunnysBun-k3u]

❤ I just wanted to let you know I think you are doing an amazing job. You are an awesome bunny mom. I know it can be hard at times, imagining, I have not been in your shoes but I'm sure it is hard. Keep strong and keep up the great work you are doing Love Lola and April❤

[@barryheuer869]

You two are lucky to have each other.

[@MelP-o9f]

This was excellent information! Thank you for posting all the links for the things you use. Lennon looks so much brighter these days. I might have to start giving Chubb 2 blueberries and 1 cranberry because she saw Lennon getting them!🤣

[@jocikoz2748]

Hey! My sister started watching you 4 years ago 😢 her rabbit is the best cared for rabbi ever thanks to you!

[@AceKaci]

Aw, Lennon is such a sweet and patient girl. Thank you for taking such good care of her. Some things I’ve found helpful for my senior babies that might also benefit Lennon. Oxbow Urinary Tract treats. Dandelion for appetite and digestion. Ginger goes well with turmeric for pain relief, but it is a diuretic so it may affect her kidneys. Myofascial release therapy (MFR) helps significantly with pain relief. Heating pads also help with pain. Some vet clinics also carry a CBT cream that can go on the inside of the ear for pain relief. Have the vet check her teeth regularly bc the sugar they add to those pain meds can cause cavities. They end up needing to get their teeth shaved down which ends up ruining their whole diet and causes digestive problems and the need for more pain meds. It’s a whole thing that becomes cyclical, so just keep an eye on her teeth. Maybe feed the sugary meds before she eats hay or other things that could clean her teeth afterward.

[@normal4810]

There's such thing as self heating pads too!

[@AceKaci]

Oh yeah, obviously keep the cords away, but you already know that. There are microwaveable heating pads, or you can put electric ones under something else like one of those cushioned beds, to keep her from chewing on it or digging it up. There are ones that can massage too or you could look into far infrared so she wouldn’t have to be right on it. I get ones with safety features built in. Biggest thing would be limiting her time on a heating pad since you don’t want her to get dehydrated, but 10-30 mins occasionally can just help relax everything, especially right before a massage or MFR treatment.

[@TerreHauteRemoteGoat]

1 cranberry. You're my 1 cranberry, Lorelei. You do so much good. Best wishes and much love to Lennon (and you).

[@lazyhomebody1356]

😂😂😂❤

[@kathyking1468]

Poor baby 😢 I have a bunny he is 4 yrs old now . I really appreciate you sharing this video. It was of great help . Thank you ❤ ❤❤

[@SpecialSpot7]

Is 17 years old young for a bunny, or a human?

[@HarrysIrishPrincess]

A 17 year old bunny would be a senior. But it's young for a human

[@leelaartwork]

You’re an amazing person for caring so well for Lennon. It’s great to see senior buns getting the care they all deserve ❤

[@marnitoyserkani2449]

My heart filled joy to see her health improved and she is doing well. You are the best bunny mum ever. I wish all the bunnies have the caring mummy like you❤

[@ralphmoore6186]

That's the truth

[@doodlea7827]

I feel for what you're going through with Lennon. I'm a bunny mom, but went through kidney disease with my dog. It was so hard doing sub Q fluids, but it gave me more time with my precious baby. All my best to you and Lennon.

[@scotttodd-fe7nm]

I respect your care for your older bunny, your videos are informative and inspirational. blessings on you.

[@carolineh8713]

I love your adjustments to her litter box! Our old Dutch girl had arthritis so we swapped the deep litter trays for plant potting trays - although she has since passed, they're now the perfect size for our current bunnies, who are much bigger. This type of tray has deep sides/back but a nice low lip at the front so the buns can easily step in and out of it. Sending love to you both. ❤

[@kikyoufuyuno]

You are a wonderful bunny mom, I'm so glad Lennon has you by her side. It's really nice to see Lennon doing better now and I hope she will keep being so for a long time to come. Thank you so much for taking such good care of your bunny.

[@AdrianiIvanova]

You are amazing . You need to be very proud of yourself for the way how you taking care of her. God bless you for the love that you giving her. We all need to learn from you. Everything what you doing for her is so impressive. You have golden heart❤Thank you for giving us the best example how we should love our pets at home ❤️

[@bunnymomma12]

Thank you for sharing this. My bunny is about to turn 6 soon so will be getting to her elder years soon so this gives me a good idea of what to kind of expect to keep her happy and healthy as long as possible. Great advice!!

[@nezzie8408]

You're an awesome Bun Mom😊💜. God Bless you both!!😇💜

[@wonton67]

I've been watching since she was much much younger... Seeing her age breaks my heart! I wish animals could stay with us forever. 🥺

[@joannanachłya]

im so happy she gest better. your ideas are so helpful. thank you

[@stephie14138]

Awww you are the best bun mom

[@p3nGu1nZz]

love the ramp! so happy Lennon is feeling better. such a good bunny mom.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Lennon is so loved 💕

[@teesohma1271]

Thank you for this video !! Using your amazing rabbit care advice, I was actually planning on adopting a senior rabbit this coming summer ! This really helps ! 💖

[@marydelossantosfernandez3577]

Mis conejitos ya tienen 6 años. Gracias por este vídeo. Me sirve para ir preparándome para cuando tenga que darles más cuidados. Eres la mejor mamá de conejita que conozco. Solo quien tiene conejos sabe el nivel de sacrificio, dedicación, trabajo y amor que son necesarios para que sean felices. Por eso son grandes maestros, transforman nuestras vidas muy profundamente. Un gran abrazo desde España.

[@WeronikaVandeloo]

very good informative video I'm very happy to see that everything is going well with you and Lennon❤❤❤❤❤

[@mumuma8450]

Lost my two boys back to back a few months ago. They were four and three. Genetics robbed them of a long life but you helped so much in helping me give them the best life adter I adopted them. This video was so great. Especially showing a chronically ill bun running around and exercising. This is do important and a lot of people should know they can't let them just sleep all day and get more sedentary. Showing a bum bath is great. I suggest maybe a detail vid on that and cutting fur around genitals because I was really nervous when I had to do it and there really isn't a lot of senior/ill bun vids out there. Def taking notes on that ramp for the future. Those that need chew proof washable rugs. Ikea does natural ones so you can rest easy if your kids will eat holes in them sometimes. You still want to monitor them for impactions if they eat too much at once. My kids would eat my fridge if I let them... Gracias por todo mi niña. Tu preciosa esta en las mejores manos ❤

[@barrykettell7499]

Your doing a fantastic job,and I mean fantastic job,we do it because their our pets and hate to see them go through all the ailments as they get older. we do our best cause we love them.

[@julcsivideos1]

Thank you for taking such good care of Lennon. I have a senior dog, so I know how you feel and how hard can it be. My bunny is 4.5 years old now, so I have a few years to adjust... But your video is very detailed and helpful. Stay strong and wish you and Lennon lots of health and happiness!

[@habibiahtarannum1714]

I’ve got to say that Lennon is probably the luckiest rabbit ever to have such a caring nd supportive mom like you❤ It’s so inspiring to see you taking care of her with so much passion nd dedication I really wish Lennon lives a long healthy life ❤ I love seeing ur videos nd my heart really warms up to see u do the “room makeovers” for other rabbits who are not well taken care of Please continue your good work and give lots of love and care to Lennon from our side 💕

[@SabreWolferos]

You are one of the first to speak on this important topic. I will need this video eventually with mine

[@Saebrin_8]

U are such an amazing mother to her, love u guys❤

[@hopenews860]

🙌You're simply the Best Loving #Bunny care Lady🐰 Wishing you and Lennon🐇all the sweetest time together.

[@kathleenlupole8546]

Thank you for this video! I am going through some of these issues with my bunny right now. Ordering the things to make the ramp right now. He needs that so much! Love Lennon and how much loves you back!

[@rat3645]

You and Lennon have given my bunny the best life possible, thank you

[@taytayy0821]

My free roam holland lop, Bean, is about to turn 8 & starting to notice subtle changes of her slowing down & some arthritis in her hind legs. Gabapentin helps but I’m so appreciative of all the tips and tricks you show us. Thank you queens 👸🐰🥰

[@danica_harley-f1]

Happy 10th Birthday Lennon! 💗

[@Sunlightmoonbright]

The assess ramp is genius 😍

[@__JillSt.Clair__]

The litter box modifications are awesome! Great ideas. thank you!

[@Valsora1641]

Wonderful care of a loved older bunny. We started this journey last year. Our biggest wins (aside from an excellent vet) has been a small infrared light for at home arthritis easing and a heating pad. The heating pad is made by Farm Innovators for chickens, a hard plastic pad with low constant heat. Our rabbit LOVES the heating pad, sleeps on it daily and moves much better, especially during weather changes that used to cause her to stiffen up. I'd suggest a heating pad to anyone with an arthritic bunny.

[@heidiinchrist7296]

What a spoiled little cutie 🥰

[@bluek9s]

my heart 🩵 my bunny was the same age as lennon but passed away at 3 due to poor genetics (she was bred to be a meat rabbit). seeing bunnies well cared for in old age fulfills a part of my heart

[@cherylcreations]

Wow , you're such a wonderful bunny parent. I'm looking into getting a pet bunny soon. I am so happy to see Lennon moving around. Wonderful to see. Very creative!! Please make sure you're getting enough sleep too very important. Keep up the great work! I've been trying out sea moss for my spasms and fibroids, has been helpful.

[@StellarPhoenix_]

Oxbow has a range of pellets for senior rabbits, "Essentials Senior Rabbit Food" with turmeric and chamomille. Thank you for sharing your senior rabbit care routine it's really informative and interesting to see how other rabbit owners care for their old bunnies. ♥

[@kitnfall]

oh how lucky Lennon is to have you Lorelei! Brings me memories to taking care of my rabbit Tommy. Your rags are so beautiful, I just put carpet everywhere on my apartment and my rabbit was having accidents everywhere which for that I bought vacuum called Little Green. Was very easy to take care of the accidents. Everytime he'd go on a slippery floor he was so uncomfortable and falling, I was scared he'd break something so carpet was a better solution for me. Though it's definitely little ugly, your rags are gorgeous. I'm in love with the litterbox!! And the ramp😍😍😍you're so creative! That definitely should be a HOP product💖Senior rabbit litter box. This is such a perfect supportive routine for a rabbit. And look at Lennon binky, she knows that too. Sending hugs to you both!

[@fitzguineavision]

Thank you for sharing your senior rabbit care routine and care! You are amazing!!

[@SarahAnaya-ox3tb]

Lennon is such a adorable bunny! I love bunnies so much too! 🙏🏻🍭🎀

[@deboravalle2680]

You have done amazing! I would love a video on how you got Lennon to work out!

[@lorrainewheeler5592]

Your such a good bun mom ❤❤

[@ralphmoore6186]

You're taking wonderful care of Lennon

[@thethriftyfawn]

Lorelei, this is a PHENOMENAL VIDEO! I'm very proud of you for the incredible job you did with putting this together, and so proficiently. I also LOVE those washable rugs you picked up... they look incredible. I can only imagine how practical and helpful would be in person's home, for any reason requiring easy care. I wanna get some now... LOL! Confession- I've never owned any pets, but I have been watching this channel since 2016 for enjoyment and because I find this channel very interesting. Happy 10th birthday to Lennon! Lennon, you are an amazing role model, and I'm very proud of you as well! Fawn 🩷🫶

[@LennonTheBunny]

Thanks for watching Fawn! 🥰

[@sanndyhanna]

I think creating an extension ramp for the litter box would be cool I also added one for my bun

[@thepincayreport9452]

I definitely saved this for my bunny when he gets old.

[@GameOnMetalOn]

Thank you so much for the informative video. My bunny is turning 7 years old next month and I adopted him when he was 6 months old.

[@SpecialSpot7]

Is 17 years old young for a bunny or a human?

2nd!! Also hiii I’m a hugeeeeee fan, I love your vids. They helped me so much when I first adopted my baby bun. Also this was very helpful and I will be sharing with my friend

[@sjbunnylady]

Lennon it's good to see you! Your 10 it's a very good age for a domestic rabbit. I wish my Rabbit lasted to that age and more I only got a year or so with mine.

[@erinolsen5421]

Thank you for this! My Buddy is 12 and has arthritis. He’s on metacam & gabapentin. But I’m going to ask the vet about some of the sups you mentioned. I did get him an Assisi loop that seems to help too. We also have to do regular teeth trimmings at the vet too as he gets sharp spots that create sores in his mouth that causes him to slow down on eating that then causes tummy issues. Apparently this is also not uncommon in older buns. He’s worth it all ❤

[@naveenhussain5677]

omg thank you Lorlie!! You are the queen of rabbit care!

[@abioqaas]

I have an 11-year old rabbit and many of these are familiar issues. I’ve also made a lot of adjustments to make his life easier and more comfortable.

[@kathiburns3695]

I've had 7 rabbits. Still have 2. I had a Veterinarian who suggested giving some pumpkin and sunflower seeds for arthritis. They have antioxidants and works very well.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Not sure about sunflower seeds! I left various yummies out on my porch for the large variety of animals and insects...and none of them, not even birds, squirrels or ants, ever ate the sunflower seeds!

[@eddlo9721]

My rabbit is still young so I don't have to worry about this 😊❤

[@hugoweaving6275]

Best bunny care❤ that's some breakfast!!

[@jaimeSanders4-8-23]

I Love your videos so much they make my day!!❤❤❤❤

[@imacrayzcritter]

My Lulu is nearing 10. His papers say he was neutered in October of 2015, so that puts him at 10 in August. He could be older than that, but I will never know for sure. My Sophie passed at 9 and a half, so I am getting very nervous. He still zooms and binkies and his appetite is endless. I’m definitely getting a full work up of every test imaginable at his next geriatric bunny exam. Might have to start adding blueberries more regularly!

[@SkyeSalindar]

I'm really jealous how well Lennon takes her meds and supplements. My cats are complete jerks for meds 99.9% of the time

[@JasmineParker-mt7xt]

I’m crying you were the first bunny KZbinr I’ve watched I love Lennon I’m crying I don’t want her to die😕

[@jaylenecornelius8686]

Love Lennon so much ❤

[@micheleharris6851]

Went through this with our 12 year old bunny 😇 and our 15 year old dog 😇. 💞 Both at peace now.

[@rabbittailsbyfarrahmartis]

Lorelei i hope you read this comment: please substitute Dill for Fennel. Dill is also high in calcium. Please please read this ❤❤

[@Kortatochip]

I think it would be nice if the hop liter box (someday) comes out with a “senior” option for people who do have senior or ill bunny’s who have issues similar to Lennon. As you said, it takes adjusting to and I think the liter box alone is such a huge step for bunny owners so having more options would be incredible to see .

[@neeatsa]

That ramp is genius

[@BellezzaBeauty03]

Do you recommend adding blueberries for adult rabbits regardless??

[@LennonTheBunny]

Yes. But dont over do it on the sugar :)

[@maribelrodriguez228]

I have a bunny she’s 5 weeks old so baby love your channel ❤❤❤❤

[@AbzarVR]

I’m getting two bunnies soon on (December 19) my b-day I’m so excited

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

She's such a perfect angel taking her meds. And it's a very helpful video. It shows what you need to think of. My bunny is 7 and I know that there will be a day when I'll need to start giving him supplements, right now he seems okay, but he hates any syringe near his face. He's absolutely okay with needles and shots, he just hates stuff put in his mouth. Could you do a video of tips how to convince bunny to take meds? Or did Lennon just wanted to take them like that?
