The History of Rabbits

[@LennonTheBunny]

Hi lennies! I'm listening to some of your feedback and trying fresh content out! hope you enjoy this one!

[@rayleslie354]

i like this more scientific stuff, of course i like the other softer stuff too

[@petswithsimrah7770]

Thanks for everything I love you

[@sedwards6213]

I like the big picture aspect and the combination of history and science. I would like to see longer stuff too. Maybe speaking to experts and doing live interviews?

[@Wow-rn2re]

This is such a cool video! I would love to see more like this in the future! 👍🏿

[@naziadhamani]

Can you do a video about how rabbits don’t belong in hutches?

[@high-bi-password]

“They have less white matter than wild bunnies” so basically they traded brain cells for snacks. Fair enough, I’d probably take that deal too

[@Saltymab]

Lol

[@jasondrummond9451]

As a science nerd - I found this fascinating. Would be interested in more about the genetics of coat colour and pattern inheritance, and the selection for rabbits of varying sizes.

[@erdarlington3910]

And how some buns have floppy/long/short hair.

[@cottoneyedarren]

color genetics are confusing but there is alot of data out there. I have been raising reds but cant breed them with to many other colors because the red is a recessive gene.

[@hazell6789]

I’m adopting a rabbit soon and I just wanna say that your channel has helped me learn a lot about rabbits and how to give them a great life. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lennon and you and Lennon have saved so many bunny lives.

[@cuhurun]

An excellent video, thank you for airing a long overdue aspect of our little friends ! Also... please make a definitive video about safe temperatures for buns. This winter there's sadly been so many tragedies (again) with poor little things freezing due to being kept outside in hutches, especially those alone, those without so much as a single companion to cuddle up to. Just because they're given some hay to lay on doesn't mean they're going to keep warm. Some owners need to be instructed and to understand that in the wild buns are comfortably deep underground in their burrows, well away from ground level frost, deep in the earth where temperatures are permanently above zero all winter, and remain cool for the little things during the summer months.

[@mysticthehorselover5979]

Yeah I recommended making a video about that topic a little while back too

[@lancelnce]

I'm clad that someone in the past start to see rabbits as pets and not as food. Rabbits deserve all the love and care

Literally my account is about scientific research on rabbits and I shared my ebook with her- she’s copied it- I received no credits. Her content has been odd ever since I contacted her. She keeps deleting my comments etc

As a brand new bun mum, your channel has been an absolute godsend to me and so so helpful in learning all about my baby bun. Very informative and well done. Baby Willow is on track to be one happy little dude all thanks to you and of course Cinnabun's mum. Lennon's coat is so shiny and healthy, she's a beauty! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and I hope you continue :)

[@meaganrobichaud2475]

As cute as lops are, the way humans have bred them can cause a lot of health problems: they are prone to ear infections, and rabbits with brachycephaly (smoosh faces, e.g., Holland Lops, Netherland Dwarfs) are prone to respiratory issues. Sad how humans have caused these issues, and even sadder that people just dump them when they become too much work!

The pugs of rabbits

[@briannaborras4005]

My bunny is most definitely not afraid of loud noises. Whenever I turn on the vacuum I have to pick her up and move her because she will lay there in the area that needs vacuumed and wont move until I nudge her or move her myself.

[@scottfirman]

My last rabbit Mr. Spock was like that, he just didn't get excited concerning vacuums or even garbage bag shaking( trying to get the bag open). My new bunny has been afraid to go out on the kitchen floor until recently. Sliding every where.

[@brucefromaz7708]

My bunny is the same. Nothing seems to scare him except for the thought of being picked up.

[@c.a.fontaine1074]

My bunny isn't afraid of loud thunderstorms but the wind blowing scares her.

[@scottfirman]

@@c.a.fontaine1074 we take ours camping and he didn't seem too upset during a storm. Our dog used to whine and cringe during thunderstorms. Our new bunny is going to have to get used to storms and camping.

[@rabbitsandphilodendron]

same. i actually thought my bunny was deaf for a while because of that but thats not the case. she is just not afraid. she flopped in the middle of the room and didnt even flinch when i did loud renovations on my apartment. she sleeps on her back, belly fully exposed (she has no medical issues i had her checked). and she greets everyone she meets, even when theyre not friendly shell ignore red flags so i have to remove her myself. i dont know whether thats because she has never made any actual bad experiences in her life so far and thus feels super safe in our home or whether thats a trait that was actively reinforced through breeding.

[@jasonxtron3729]

This was fascinating! Love it! It also may explain something I've been wondering about. Of my 3 girls, Sierra is the most skittish. I've worked hard with her and our relationship has developed really well, but she is still the most likely sister to run or hide. I had thought maybe she was a bit of a throwback based on her appearance and personality. She looks exactly like a wild rabbit, only larger, has an adventurous spirit, and gets very anxious around anyone but me. The first time I took her to the vet, she told me Sierra has the (somewhat strange to me) distinction of having the largest skull of the 3 sisters. Watching this video, I now believe this indicates she has the largest brain as well, and with it the heightened ability to process fear stimuli. It's wonderful to have this insight into how my beautiful little girl thinks! Regardless, I accept this as her personality and will continue to shower her with love when she allows it. Thank you once again Lorelei for posting a video that is as informative as it is entertaining! Love to Lennon!!!

Of course a rabbit owner is the only creator with a decent history of rabbits. They're really underappreciated animals and there's not enough research about their behavior and domestication

[@smokymountainangoras]

I have read that angora rabbits may have been the first to be intentionally bred in ancient Anatolia (Greece/Turkey) on small islands in the Aegean Sea by King Mausoleus (300 B.C.!) for his wife (who was also his sister 🙄) and the rabbits were kept to breed on ‘rabbits islands’ for almost 2,000 years while their wool was used to make prized antique Turkish rugs before they were sent in hutches to France/Germany in the late 17th century for wool production and also to Queen Marie Antoinette as gifts for the French court.
