Hey Lennon I'm going to do a rabbit habit tat as well within a few days will you be able to review that with some others please?❤

[@mochafrappe243]

Lorelei I really want you too see my rabbits habitat because I’m a (sort of) carpenter and I made her a castle and I want a professional to rate her setup. I always want the best for my bun and it would be nice if you rated her setup lol 😅

[@LassieFarm]

Deodorant?? Thank goodness. Eureka ! 🤣

[@jackhack1972]

The truth is if you really want your bunny to love you people you got to put up with the hassle of free roam

[@jackhack1972]

I remember when the girlfriend brought the first bunny home and said we're going to get a cage for him and I said no we're are not

[@ginatrev9401]

The first is an outdoor predator proof enclosure, which is really common in the UK. It looks like the rabbits had a lot of space to hop, jump and binky. Rabbits who are kept in pairs or groups (as they should be) don’t need humans for company. They also appear to have the space recommended by the RWAF. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it meets the rabbits needs, which is great. The same applies to the shed, which has an open hutch as a hideaway for the rabbit. The enclosure in the closet, however, does not meet a rabbits needs. Each level didn’t appear to be at least 1m high (to allow them to stand up on their back legs) and also seems dangerous if the rabbit was to fall off the top level if the door was suddenly opened. Rabbits have very delicate spines. A rabbit should also never be locked into an enclosure that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, for any amount of time. This is well below the recommended space a rabbit needs.

[@___FS___]

Yeah I don't understand how the closet scored better. I think people need to consider that being outside is totally different depending on what country you're in and that sometimes there is no choice to have them inside. I've also found when I give mine free access to outside they'll just happily sit out there in all weather 😂

[@jorienkoelen7398]

Yes! The outdoor housing was bashed completely unnecessarily. I am pretty the vast majority of rabbits would rather live together in a large outdoor space, than locked up in a tiny closet alone and unable to run or hop. And it is a cultural difference as well. I live in Europe and some rescues would not even adopt their bunnies out to indoor housing and I never saw a rescue that would adopt out single bunnies (unless there is a medical problem or something)

[@littlepetucation]

Totally agree. Guess it's different in europe but in my opinion it IS the best choice if its predatorproof. Shouldn't watch her videos anymore, I get angry all the time she is bashing an outside space

[@ilsehomburg]

Exactly you summed it up perfect.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Oof, they don't NEED humans for company? Why the ef do you want a rabbit then?

[@strawberrytam98]

Unsure how you can praise a rabbit being stuck inside a small closet all day but hate on a large secure enclosure outside that allows them to perform all of their natural instincts. Even with access to some free roaming, being stuck in that tiny closet for any period of the day is cruel. But because theyve found a way to keep their bunny inside they get praise? I have a very similar setup to the first one and my rabbits are thriving. They have 60 square feet of secure space, an 8x2ft hutch that's permanently open and access to the entire garden in the day time when we are home. When it rains my rabbits choose to sit in the rain rather than seek shelter. They loved running around in the snow. In the summer they love digging and lying in the soil. They can eat grass all day. They love sitting on their cat tree inside the run watching the birds in the garden. Sure domestic rabbits are different to wild ones but still enjoy and display a lot of the same things. Rabbits can be more destructive than your average cat or dog, so not everyone can have them inside. This isn't me hating, just providing a counter argument.

[@charlie_the_bunny9704]

I wish you knew the full story to why my rabbit is in my closet. He lived in an avery most of his life but for personal reasons I had to bring him inside. I have endless animals in my house so I have to keep him high enough to keep them out. I fo have doors and such. Obviously not full wooden doors, but he has a massive deck to ho on whne I’m home. It’s not the best cage ever but it’s what keeps him safe. Everyone is bashing on my rabbit enclosure which is understandable since everyone is passionate.

[@eldanygren7602]

I had one male rabbit for eight years and now have two sisters and the first bunny loved to be able to come and chill inside when ever we had time to take him inside. He learned where to go to get treats, how to tell us when he was thirsty and when he wanted to sit on the sofa with us. He lived outside in a old playhouse me and my sisster used to sleep in during the summers when we were younger. We sometimes even slept thee people inside of there before we rebuilt it to a bunny house. My bunny loved to sit up high so we put up a bunch of levels to allow him to look out through the windows. The sissters are a little over one year old. They got our old bunnies house and they love it just as much as our old bunny did and they also got a HUGE outdoor area with grass, a bush and loads of things to play with. They are always happy when they get to go outside and play, however they are really scared of being inside with us. They start to breathe really heavy, and both of them usually goes to lay down in a corner where they kind of feel safe. They never gi outside that one room and we have tried to bring them out to the sofa to let them get used to it but they just hate it. It is also way to hot for them inside so we don't feel comfortable with forcing them to be inside 24/7. It does not have to do with them not getting exposed to being inside when they were small since we tried to let them inside once a day to get to know new textures, sounds and smells from the age of about four months to now. We are at the moment trying to grow more grass in their big outdoor area so they get to be in a little bit of a smaller cage about 3x5 meters. They do not have a aesthetic living situation but they love it and both of them are healthy.

[@thebirdmaster7]

i agree with you, I would changed some things to make it look nicer, like planted some safe plants like grass, clovers, and maybe a raised bed with some leafy greens. honestly I would use this for my Quail or small chickens. that is not cheap to make, that at least probably costed about $150

[@c.and.t.adventures]

This comment 👏🏻

[@fluffybunny764]

No they don't if they are brought up domesticated then they will have no survival instincts to live like that, and it really matters on temperature and local wildlife

[@afairyist9981]

I don't mind people getting critizised. But I really hate how so much seems to be about how it looks, as well as projecting human feelings on bunnies. It's not bad for them if it doesn't look good or looks "bleak". It also doesn't hurt them if it's messy/cluttered and there is a lot of hay everywhere. It just seems unnessesairy since it really doesn't matter for the bunny and she kind of sounds disgusted. And on the flip side if it does look good it seems to get a lot of praise automatically, even if it's small.

[@jimbogue2711]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! I used to like her but then I saw videos like this and I give rabbits a home but it’s in a hutch and she’s basically saying you shouldn’t have rabbits if they’re in a hutch.

[@Bitna01]

I had a white rabbit (Idk what breed it was) that lived in my family's backyard all the time & it lived for roughly 10 years. I currently have a Dutch mix that's also living in the backyard & it gets to run around & munch on grass. I'm definitely a lot more careful of her diet in comparison to my last rabbit & with her regular grooming, her fur is soft & shiny & she's healthy. She's also not afraid to approach people & because I pet her a lot, she would demand more pets from me if I were to stop. The reason why the rabbits were kept outside was because our landlord doesn't like indoor pets.

[@afairyist9981]

@@jimbogue2711 I wasn't talking about keeping rabbits outside, though I don't like the quick judgements she makes I do still think it's almost always far better for rabbits to be kept inside. And hutches are almost always way too small.

[@afairyist9981]

Hutches are almost always way too small. And I wasn't talking about keeping rabbits outside in my comment, though I don't like the quick judgements she makes I do still think it's almost always far better for rabbits to be kept inside. Rabbits aren't supposed to smell at all, if they do something is really wrong. If it's from their pee it needs to be cleaned more often. Rabbits are almost never agressive towards humans, it usually only happens if they are really terrified or in pain.

[@busybunnyhomestead]

I think maybe she was drunk when she made the video…

[@WildWhispr]

I love this channel but tbf I kinda disagree with Lorelai's take on the first habitat, I feel like my indoor free roam bunny would probably be just as happy if not happier given a run like that. He loves being outside but I don't have the funds to build a suitable outdoor enclosure so i can only let him run around supervised on our decking which makes him so so happy, but i wish he had unlimited safe access to the sunshine and breeze he so loves. Frankly I think he'd be happier if he could carry out his normal bunny behaviours like digging proper tunnel systems and things like those bunnies can do. Sure it looks 'bleak' by human standards but bunnies don't care about how aesthetic or pretty or cosy something looks, they'd rather just have the freedom to chew and dig and binky and sunbathe like these bunnies clearly do.

[@cophrasea]

Just a word about bunnies outside where they can dig: dirt can contain parasites like tapeworms. Even a bunny outside with a harness is in danger from hawks, at least in my neighborhood. My daughter lost her ChiWeenie Dog to a hawk. The harness will keep the hawk from carrying your pet off but the damage inflicted on your pet and the absolute terror of the attack may be deadly. We learned the hard way so many times that “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” is never more true than when you are trying to give love and happiness to your anipals. I hope you find a solution that makes you and your bun happy and safe. 🤞

[@S0m3B0z0OnTheInternet]

The first habitat doesn’t seem THAT bad (though I do question if it’s warm enough for the rabbits to survive through winter and if they even have a water source or any toys at all) I totally agree that rabbits can be kept outside but I would usually recommend a well insulated shed as their main habitat to keep them away from predators and parasites.

well kind of i think her reasoning is its safer and its inside thats what shes all about and bc outside they are all alone and its depressing ig.

[@cinnamorollbabiesxx]

its weird to see her completely disregard how other countries mainly house bunnies in hutches outside...but she thinks its soooo horrible. it doesn't make sense.

[@Aimee0206]

@@cinnamorollbabiesxx It depends on the type of hutch - for example, the first one is perfectly fine to house rabbits in but would need some modifications to make it fully suitable. The one shown at 7:30 (specifically the hutch in the far away corner) would not be suitable whatsoever (however this person is using theirs as a large hideout, which is perfectly fine to do). I just don't get why Lorelei scored these two so poorly yet gave the closet one an A when it's virtually the exact same as the hutch shown in the 5th enclosure, with the only real difference being that it's indoors and has an extra level. It doesn't meet a rabbit's space requirements at all (that being 3 metres length * 2 metres width * 1 metre high). It's frustrating that she automatically gives enclosures a bad rating just because they're outdoors rather than giving people advice on how they can make their outdoor enclosures more suitable 😕

[@cinnamorollbabiesxx]

@@Aimee0206 agreed, i definitely mean hutches that are like the first one, not like the one used as a hideout!!!! i wish she would take that into consideration, and give helpful advice instead of just criticizing it... especially because it's not uncommon outside of the US. I hate how absolutist/black and white she's being by saying outside = F.

[@Aimee0206]

@@cinnamorollbabiesxx I definitely agree with her saying that having rabbits indoors is far better than outdoors - but that's just not an option for everyone. Best you can do in that situation is just make the best out of what you've got to work with - I really don't like how she just said "bring them indoors" and nothing else for the first one, when there was *so* much she could've said to make their situation better. The whole "What part of your brain...?" comment was rude and unnecessary, too. I really hope that Lorelei takes this on board and starts giving out more unbiased advice towards people keeping their bunnies outdoors - I just really don't understand how she scored the closet one so much higher than the two outdoor ones

[@maria-k3g9u]

The only thing I'm confused about is why aesthetics matter? I don't think the bunnies care if everything is brown and cheap, or colourful and pretty. Also the more natural the life you are providing for your rabbits the "uglier" it will look. Yet a life where they can express their natural behaviours (such as digging/tunnels) is part of their 5 welfare needs.

[@ashhunt8794]

Domesticated bunnies have no need to dig and most don't

[@___FS___]

​@@ashhunt8794 you've obviously never had a rabbit dig a hole in the carpet 😅

[@afairyist9981]

@@ashhunt8794 That's not true at all. Sure there are differences between domestic and wild rabbits but that doesn't just get rid of their natural instincts. Rabbits still need to dig just like they still need to chew, eat constantly and eat their cecotropes inspite of that being traits they evolved because their food had so little easily accesible nutrition. That doesn't just go away because we can now provide with a ton of nutrition and their need to dig doesn't just go away because they don't need to do it to survive anymore.

[@nisr1677]

Hi, I have the first enclosure in the video. Please allow me to react: 1. it's impractical: I am willing to go outside every day to spend time with my bunnies. They can hop on the grass every now and then. I do not have to worry about hay or an accident inside. So yes they are in the garden, yes I have to walk maybe 20 seconds to them, but i am willing to. What is the problem? You're creating problems here, just to blame me. 2. It's not safe: Yes it is. We worked days on this enclosure, my pinky finger can fit nowhere through. The tiles are super heavy. I regularly check if there are no signs of broken parts. Nothing can go in or out. 3. It's bleak: are my rabbits judging the astethics of the enclosure? There are few decoration options for outdoor enclosures that are rabbit proof, so I chose to not decorate for their safety. I am so so sorry that you think that affects the 'score' of the enclosure. 4. The diet: They get fresh greens every day. This is most of the time a mix of brocolli, carrot, carrot tops, lettuce, cucumber, banana, blueberries, cauliflower leaves, apple, etc. . I give the cauliflower leaves in moderation because they can get windy, and some fruits as a snack. They also get some pellets and unlimited hay. What bothers you? 5 You're treating them as farm animals: Yes the enclosure looks like it could come from a western movie. That's because triangles are strong, so it's just practical. Once again, I am sorry if that is 'wrong' bunny care. You have no idea how loved my bunnies are. They are prefectly healty and super happy. 6. Why don't you want to bring them inside: Most of my family members are allergic. Bunny proofing is never 100% effective. I have a loving family to watch movies with, my bunnies can chill outside, where they have fun, where they can do what they want, not what we want them to do. The rest is for another time, if I keep typing I will get furious. man I am angry.

[@cinnamorollbabiesxx]

I'm very sorry for how Lorelei rated your enclosure. She even ignored a person's email about why the person needed plastic on the couch for their special-needs bunny, and roasted them instead for it without mention. She's turning into an extremely classist and elitist channel, and the majority of people here are aware how your enclosure is very amazing! There are a few who share her classist and elitist opinion, though. There are indoor rabbits that get a smaller amount of space, and no food/water seen, but it's fine because it's "aesthetic". yet, these same people get their panties in a twist when they see an incredible, safe enclosure, with a rabbit that gets a bunch of space to run, yummy greens, and the ability to dig! I wouldn't worry about her rating when she simply rates based off aesthetic, vs the rabbit's needs!

[@Shadowangel691]

i really appreciate this comment and i hope other people can see this. every single thing about your build shows extreme thought and prioritizes your bunnies’ needs instead of anthropomorphizing them. i actually highlighted a lot of your efforts in another comment i left here. if it’s any consolation, i think her response to your bunnies’ habitat helped start a discussion in the comments about some of the issues in the rabbit community; your contribution is still important, and i’m sorry it was overlooked this way. i really appreciate you responding to her in such a calm, reasoned way.

Honestly, it seems like you only praise the ones that are aesthetically pleasing even if they are too small. Just because the first one isn’t bright in colour and is outdoors, that doesn’t mean it isn’t adequate for the rabbit.

I was thinking the same Thing. The First one wasnt 100% optimal but 10 Times better than the closet. And it bothers me, that so many bunnies have no partner.

[@larshoffmeister7106]

@•Mae•Edits• giving a Bunny a Partner is a requirement. Unless the Bunny really cant Bond with an other Bunny. And i agree that bunnies should be Indoors. My point is: if you keep your bunny like the one in the closet, you should give it away. That was so horrible and way worse than the first example. I have bunnies and it would break my heart if they wouldnt have each other, or if they had to live in that tiny closet

[@GemmaWitcombe-cp9nr]

I'm the owner with the plastic cover on the sofa and I have to say I'm kind of disappointed. I explained very clearly why I have that on there and that I have a blanket on top and she still roasted me for it. My bunnies will NOT stop peeing on the sofa no matter what I do. If I just put a blanket on the sofa, the pee would soak through and ruin my sofa. Also the whole point of my habitat is I have special needed buns, one has very severe epilepsy and I wrote this in my email and she completely glossed over it. Also hate how every bunny NEEDS to live inside and be free roam, not everyone has that option. My buns are free roam in this room only. I've tried free roaming and they literally find new things to destroy, my carpets, peeing on my bed. I do let them out, my girl likes to have a wander upstairs, but shes supervised the entire time. Also there are some great outdoor habitats out there that are safe and buns are very happy with them. Also the destroyed super dry bag was my bfs, and it was not in their room, it was in the hallway, when I drove my bf to work, my girl stuck her head through the baby gate enough to grab the bag and destroy it. Sure it was our fault for leaving it so close but rabbits cannot be trusted, they will find new things to destroy and you cannot predict what they will destroy next. Not everyone has the option to hide all our belongings away. I'm not going to go round my 3 bed house and tape every skirting board and piece of furniture so they can free roam. Also cable protectors don't work either, I had a cable protector on a very high voltage cable, my girl CHEWED through the cable protector and started chewing through the cable. I stopped her in time before she killed herself but some buns are just so destructive, giving them a space where they cannot reach any of that is the best option and letting them free roam when you're at home is a great alternative. That's what I used to do before I moved, they had a very large pen and I would let them out when I was at home, so they got at least 5-8 hours of free roam, I shut them away when I went to bed because I CANT trust them. The only reason I give them a whole room now is because my girl is very sassy and doesn't like to be locked away, she would bite at the gate every day, shaking it. Even with the baby gate she still shakes it, so I have learned she doesn't like to be enclosed.

[@cinnamorollbabiesxx]

really??? this is so disappointing... she seemed to be kinda rude/off in this video lol... acting as though her watchers don't understand how to "bunny proof". not everyone can free roam their pets 24/7 - even cats and dogs. i hope she responds to this bc that is just horrible.

I really don't understand how you completely roast one habitat more or less only because it is outdoors, even though it's big, but then raise the indoor closet cage to the skies. I'm not a fan of keeping bunnies outdoors, but that reasoning seems completely illogical to me. Not saying the outdoor enclosure was good, just saying that the closet cage should not be praised like that at all. It's nothing more than a three story cage. Also I agree with some of the others that have commented that aesthetics shouldn't really matter because the bunnies don't care. Sure, it's a plus for the owner but bad aesthetics shouldn't be cause for a bad grade.

I think the outside enclosure isnt bad at all!! Bunnys still love to dig and not everybody or everybunny want to be treating/treared like a human/dog. It doesn't have to be petty to be good! Bunny dont care about aesthetics!

[@KendalB673]

Outdoor enclosures come with many risks such as, raccoons or birds trying to get to them, or they find a way to get out, maybe plants growing are toxic, and what if the weather is harsh. Now, a opinion is a opinion but keeping your rabbits indoors expands their life span, and their health, you can fight with a opinion but you cant fights facts. Rabbits/bunnies have been bred to the point where they are much safer indoors, this happened overtime. Rabbits are generally happier, healthier, and safer indoors. A rabbit could die at the sight of a dog, what if a wild animal is trying to get to them. Another reason to keep them inside is that while being outside they feel the need to fight for their life, meaning you will have an aggressive bunny. Generally I recommend keeping your rabbits indoors.

It's worked out really well for all of them.

My bunny uses my whole studio apartment. His litter box is actually an a-frame cage with an open door at all times. He is 9 years old and has no interest in toys unless they are the kind he can chew on like the willow balls. I made hiding places and tunnels by making an ally between the furniture and the wall. He has about 9 places to sleep undisturbed. He is very sociable and comes out to see who is here when I have company. He is never locked in the cage but is attached to it so I put his hay in there and he uses it for his bathroom. He likes to lay in there also. I clean it daily so never is dirty or smelly. We are together all the time as I am retired and disabled. I cannot have two bunnies here so that is why he does not have a companion. Quite frankly, I doubt I could care for two.

I feel like u judges the "cages" more by their looks than what the bunny would feel about it.. Digging is a way that domestic rabbits play, and it's also a way for them to blow off steam when they are bored and frustrated. It's not a behavior that can be trained out of a rabbit. Instead it's important to give pet rabbits ways that they can use this natural behavior without destroying areas of your house. And i can't believe u where acting so positive with the closet cage, but the second u see a cage that is not aesthetic or indoors u give them worse, I'd also like to mention that u never specified WHY the first cage was unsafe..?

We don’t know if you know maybe they live in something that is way too small. We don’t know if you know their parents don’t allow them in the household or something we just don’t know the 100% specifics but I feel like them making an underground tunnel so the bunnies do not get hurt & to try to keep them safe as best as possible and the bunnies in the pictures at least don’t look malnourished Or anything it just feels like a little bit of a biased take because I know you frequently sure talk about how you cuddle with Lennon on the couch and things like that or your bed and not everybody likes to do that or the bunnies would even like that circumstance of being cuddled on the couch or something like that every rabbit is different and I’m pretty sure you know that. this isnt supposed to be a attack anything.

Our bunny free roams every evening and has free roam of our sons room with an x-pen “home-base”. It’s not that we don’t trust him with chewing and such, but our dear sweet little bun bullies our cats and we worry they will accidentally injure him. One did scratch his eye in the past and he had to go to the get drops for a few weeks. You’d think he’d learn his lesson, but he hasn’t.

It's important to add a rug/carpet to provide soft surface so the rabbit doesn't develop Sore Hawks. Look for a material that is save for ingesting. The traction will help the rabbit not pull a muscle or something while running around :D hope that helpsss

My bunny lives outside and free roams outside every day for 5-6 hours. We put her in her cage at night to make sure she I safe. There’s nothing wrong with keeping your bunny outdoors. You always talk about trust in ur bunny and we have amazing trust in her. She is very well trained and living outside it her home. She has many little areas to sleep safely. She also has a very big big hay bale for her. It’s nicely decorated and has everything she needs. She has nice shade a cover and is very used to outdoors. When we are taking her inside she always wants to go down. My bunny doesn’t like the indoors she loves the outdoors! We had shade and toys. There’s a second floor in her cage a hammock, she also has lights so she is able to see. Ur rating on how aesthetic they are. She is healthy and we even have a fresh veggie garden for her to eat anytime! We are also going to get another bunny so my rabbit feels lots more safe outdoors :) she is 7 months and has spent most of her life outdoors. The only time she was inside was when she was very young!

about the first one: having bunnys in a predateur proof zone outside with space for them is way better (in my opinion) then having them inside. and when you said they are not wild so they "dont need tunnels to make them happy" its not to make them happy it makes them feel safe and provides comfort. and wild or not, an animals an animal they still do what they would naturally do in the wild. even if they have never been wild.

[@PeacockFRaccoon]

[@patriciabush4590]

I have a beautiful outside enclosure for some of my rabbits. I clean it each day and put music on while I visit with them. They live better than many people. Lots of nutritious greens, hay and some pellets and treats. The enclosure is heated in winter and has air conditioning in summer. They are all neutered and spayed. I trim their nails and brush them every week or two. They are my sweet bunnies that I wish could live in the home but can't. I see them from my windows in the house as they have 5 large windows as well as sliding door. The place is decorated with beautiful trees and birds. It would be livable for a person it is so nice. All sheetrocked, painted a lonely blue color on walls and ceiling has clouds on white. It has a glow in the dark moon with stars also. Yes, we all can't have our wonderful bunnies inside. They are 6 lucky sweethearts❤😊

My bunny is outside and she is happy as can be. She has a big x pen to run in with a top on it. So no animals can get in and she has so many plants to eat safe for bunny’s. Unlimited hay. With a hutch to sleep in she is so happy. Idk what the problem is lol

[@darkdialga777]

some of these setups are the kind of setups I'd do for rabbits if I won the lottery, just an all out bunny room, dedicated to giving bunnies the best life possible, alongside freeroaming in the house.

[@makeupbymarylj]

Your comments about the outdoor enclosure aren’t nice, I thought your page was about giving tips, not tearing owners feelings apart and making them feel bad. My rabbits live outside because I live with my parents and have no room inside, if I did, I 1000% would. Mine have a big outdoor enclosure like the first one. Lots of space, lots to binky and lots of enrichment. Some people don’t have a full on bedroom for their rabbit babies, it’s simple.

[@peachycamie1013]

To save you the pain from watching this whole video: Lorelei is too picky and very judgmental. Not everyone has the ability to keep their rabbits indoors, it greatly bothers me that anytime you see an outdoor cage with the proper care and enrichment for the rabbits to lead a happy life, you immediately shoot it down simply because it’s outdoors. Yet any indoor cage is like a godsend from Heaven even if that cage doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for the rabbits. I’ve always wanted rabbits since I was a child, any point in my life if I did get one, they would’ve had to live outdoors due to other pets and people with allergies. That doesn’t mean I’m neglecting them, if I give them all the proper care and attention while they’re living outside, I’d be able to sleep at night because I know my rabbits would be well taken care of and loved without worrying about inconveniencing others in my home. If I sent in my setup, you’d immediately fail it due to it simply being outdoors. Now, I’m not saying there aren’t bad outdoor setups, there’s plenty of those, however, you only harshly criticize the good ones. That’s the problem I have. You rely too much on aesthetics (which mind you, rabbits don’t care about) and location when scoring, rather than using the actual things included by the owner to meet the rabbit’s needs to critique the cage setup. The other problem I have, you asking viewers who send in their outdoor setups, “why can’t you just bring the rabbits inside?” Girl, you don’t know what your viewers are going through, you don’t know their financial situations, their living situations, it’s inappropriate of you to ask people that question when you have no idea. They sent in their cages for you to critique them, not for you to judge the opportunities in life they may or may not have had access to with their pets that you have had with yours. Do better.

[@yoitsro0331]

Honestly, I agree. I used to agree with Lorelei and just shut down every outdoor rabbit cage I saw, but I did some deeper digging and thinking and realized that if you take the proper precautions and still give them the best care, they can live amazing lives outside! ☺️👍

[@lilygibson-baker8975]

Not to poo poo on the channel etc but I feel like you have so much bias to aesthetically pleasing bunny homes instead of what the rabbits actually, like, those rabbits outside with so much space for running and digging and playing where things can't get in and they cat get out, that is absolutely awesome and the ONLY reason you don't like it is because it's outside (some places are not dangerous for rabbits to live outside like like where in live in new Zealand, no predators except cats which you can easily edit there space to talor towards that issue and we have very mild winters and summers.) and your so rude towards these peoples amazingly hard efforts. Then you think the rabbit in the cupboard is so so cool when really it doesn't have space to run around or jump much at all... I recon you should re consider what your ethics compared to aesthetically pleasing rabbit homes are, and the way that you project human feelings and emotions towards these rabbits homes like they care about colours or views... And how you sound so grossed out and discussed when there is hay or storage for the bunny's within there living area like rabbits don't make a mess with hay... Again not trying to ruin the vibe of your channel but I recon you should try be more polite and look at the set ups with less of a human eye and more of a bunny point of view

[@akritibagchi2778]

The best part, "Treating them like farm animals instead of part of the family." Well, my farm animals are just as much part of the family as any of the more common pets, so lol, that's just a silly statement. The enclosure looked well thought out to protect from predators, like any chicken coop... they had a lot of room too. Lucky buns.

[@anabelletalstein2479]

@thecamdenfamilychannel40 I know! Lots of Binky room. Mine are a big part of the family too. We spend lots of time with them since we're outside more. Plus they are really really smart and yes we have bears around, but a bear I don't think will enjoy going over a 5 foot fence with dogs in it, or at night a 5 foot fence when there's piles of garbage from our garbage shed nearby. That's so much easier to eat. And this pen for them is everything but racoon proof, as NOTHING is ever raccoon proof unless solid metal with no holes or double doors that they can't reach their paw past the second inner door.

I’m confused, as so,some who lives in the uk it’s rare people have their bunnies indoor, why are you hating on it so much when they’re predator proof, they’re getting natural lighting and fresh air along with more room to run about than most indoor rooms people are keeping them in.. I used to have 3 rabbits, who all lived outside all year round. They had free roam every single day of the top half our garden with is probably about the size of half a tennis court. They loved it, it wa a natural, they had grass and hay inside their shed which they would go in at night. They loved burrowing holes, running around and sunbathing in the sun. One lived to 7, the other was 8 and the eldest lived to 11. Never had any medical issues and they all passed away peacefully from old age. I don’t know why you’re trying to humanise an ANIMAL instead of providing it with what they’re naturally used to

[@Dianikorn]

I completely agree! What's the problem with keeping your bunnies outdoors? They are animals, that's where they cane from. As long as you take the necessary precautions (heat in winter, cool place in summer and predator proof) I would say it's BY FAR the best and most natural way to live for a bunny. As far as I can tell that all fits the very first cage but she still gave it a bad rating? Why? Btw, it sounds like your bunnies had an amazing life!! ❤

@@lazyhomebody1356 Because you are the dogs pack, they are social animals and most people only have one dog so you can't keep them alone in the backyard. Rabbits however should be housed together therefore they don't need your immediate presence. If dogs have heated, cooled and protected hutches where they can run around freely with a doggie friend nothing speaks against them being outside. A lot of people still have their dogs outside.

To the person of the first habitat: That is an awesome habitat. It’s looking very safe, predators don’t got a chance. And they got so much space 24/7 that is awesome, better than a small indoor habitat with just not All day freeroom. And rabbits don’t need humans as a social contact. If they got a or more friends they are happy. Happier than alone with Humans. So don’t care what she said!!

Listen, I don’t mind you having your opinions, you educating people, infact I support you advocating for these small creatures. But the first one looks absolutely fine, though I do question why it doesn’t have more mental stimulation, more hides and so on (though idk if they do since the photos didn’t show anything with their full needs). The first hutch looks like it’s based in the UK, like a predator protected one to keep foxes, badgers, birds and other predatory animals out. Whilst keeping the bunnies in and unable to escape. I feel like you determine on aesthetics and whether or not the rabbits are free roaming inside the home, that habitat functional and safe for the rabbits, the diet looks to be freshly stored in the fridge, the “apple” looks more so part of a lettuce, it could just be me. But you saying that a habitat in a CLOSET with 3 stories is better than a wide, protected outdoor home? I don’t get it. The rabbits look safe, happy and their needs seem to be met, you base these homes on aesthetics and if they’re inside or not, and not actually based on needs.

Her grading and comments are all over the place.

I know this is probably not intentional; but you come off very elitist in some of these videos. Most people don't have the space, time and money that YOU do to make their bunnies (and other pets) lives picture perfect. I will commend you for being very informative and rather eloquently explaining WHY something might not be great for a bunny. But please stop being so condescending to these people who have done their best, and are clearly enough proud of their efforts to send them to you so that you can make this video which then makes you money. As long as people keep their pets safe, healthy, happy and clean they shouldn't be judged for not having an optimal of perfect setup. To anyone reading this who might feel self concious about the lives they're providing for your pets: your bunny will not die if it has to live a little cramped because that's the best you can do, your bunny will not die if their space is messy because you don't have the energy to clean it right now, your bunny will not die if you leave it home alone while you work, your bunny will not die if you can't give it enought affection right now because you're struggling with depression. Remember that influencers and youtubers do not live with the same conditions that regular people do. If Lennon pees on Lorelais couch or chews up her baseboards she can afford to just buy new ones to replace them. For me it would set me back at least 2-3 months of my salary. It's just a different lifestyle and a compromise; I keep my bun safe and happy but I don't let him on the couch, it's not that big a deal.

The bunny in the closet gets none of this. Rabbits that are outside in a safe space are going to be so much happier and healthier than any indoor rabbit. Additionally, their paws are also not designed for wood, tiled or even carpeted floors, they are supposed to be on grass, dirt and hay.
