I teach at a city school where a Havana rabbit was abandoned. He was dropped off in winter, and survived well. In the spring he left himself into the enclosed courtyard, where he tunneled and survived another winter. This summer, the Principal wanted him gone due to his devouring all the pretty flowers. I tried to place him, but no luck, and the thought of caging him was appalling. So...I decided that the best thing was for me to free range him in our 1acre back yard. He shelters under the deck, and grazes in clover. He’s loving his freedom under our watchful eye....and now someone has abandoned another rabbit at our school. The live trap is set, and my Havana will soon have a free range friend...it can work!

[@kglew2011]

The Australian rabbit problem is an entirely different issue. It's an example of how an invasive species can go out of control because the foreign ecosystem isn't designed to keep it in balance. Australia also has a severe feral cat problem which has destroyed their ecology so badly that some species may go extinct. Their cat problem is so severe that, in some areas, you can buy a hunting license to let you shoot feral cats. The U.S. has plenty of examples of foreign invaders that are the same way. Burmese pythons are destroying the Florida wetlands. Pleco catfish are considered one of the most destructive invaders in U.S. rivers. Both of these creatures were somebody's pets that either accidentally escaped or were purposely dumped in the wild, and they started breeding like crazy and now nobody can get rid of them.

I found a domestic rabbit in the woods last winter. She's black and white (mini) with probably some lionhead as the fur's really long around her neck. She's mostly white with black spots and tiny little black ears that are the cutest. I just finished a bigger habitat for her and she bites my bum when I sit in it with her.

Great video, very informative! But I'd like to correct you on a small point. As domestic rabbits are descended from wild European rabbits, they're essentially the same species and can, in fact, breed with each other and produce fertile offspring, just as with wolves and dogs. However, wild American rabbits are a different species and can't breed with domestic rabbits. Just wanted to clarify that, because I know of a few instances here in England where wild rabbits managed to break into a hutch and impregnate the does.

[@LennonTheBunny]

Thanks, I'll have to read about that!

One of the storylines of Watership Down is when the wild rabbits from the down break into a farm hutch to get does to come back and live with them!

[@petslove86]

Yes, domestic rabbits are exactly the same species as European wild rabbits. They are able to interbreed and share all of the same diseases. Their dietary needs are exactly the same. This is very different to the domestic dog vs wolf as the longer length of domestication of the dog has allowed a lot more changes to occur in their dentition and digestion, not just physical appearance.

[@molybdomancer195]

Also wild rabbits in the UK are the descendants of ones brought here probably by the Romans and kept in artificial warrens for their meat and fur

Did your wild bunnies become social and lose the fear? My current bunny is a domestic one and we let him outside in our backyard. He never escapes tho, and we always watch him because he's the type of bunny that will befriend a random dog, he lost that instant to run away from creatures.

[@semrahidic3630]

Hi! Just so you know I find it extremely interesting how a wild rabbit cannot breed with a domestic. One week before our female rabbit was going to the clinic to get spayed, a wild rabbit (brush rabbit, possibly) got in with my female. I tried to separate them but it was too late. Then we searched and realized there is no way she was pregnant but our vet told us it was totally possible (except it was kind of rare). I disagreed but he said don't spay her and see that I'm right. So we did as he told and 31 days later 3 kits were born (my vet was surprised the embryos didn't die), the runt having the exact pattern as his father (and he has an agouti pattern). So I guess they are hybrids? I don't know but my vet says most wild rabbits can make a female pregnant despite many people disagreeing (like I said it is a slim chance). I honestly don't know but the bunnies are healthy. And after research, domestic rabbit originates from European wild rabbits, which is very unlike wolves and dogs who came from one line of a large wolf-like dog and separated to become wolves and dogs. And there are little domestic rabbits that came from American rabbits. Still, don't understand it but my vet says it is possible for European domestic rabbits to breed with the American rabbits. Probably rare, but it could happen. It's all really weird.

"Like wolves and dogs, domestic rabbits and wild rabbits live totally distinct lives and are two completely different species." Except wolves and dogs are the same species. Likewise, domestic rabbits and wild European rabbits are the same species. Domestic rabbits are also capable of living on their own in the wild. In terms of temperament, we didn't fiddle with them all that much. Besides Australia, there's Long Beach City College in California, Whidbey Island in Washington, and Canmore and Banff in Alberta, among many others. The lifespan difference isn't really a difference in the animals as it is lifestyle. Living in the wild is stressful and few animals of a rabbit's size last much longer than the two years you mentioned. Lifespan in captivity is much more comparable to a pet rabbit's lifespan. Also pretty sure wild rabbits would adapt to a human's schedule if tamed. They're pretty flexible. I've seen rabbits hopping about the yard at most times of the day. I'm also pretty sure you give a domestic rabbit a chance and she'll surprise you with her burrowing skills. Thing is, a full warren isn't built in a day, they develop over generations. Domestic rabbits are only friendly with humans if they're socialized early. Otherwise they act exactly like wild rabbits. Personal experience. Their diets aren't really different, either. Timothy hay *is* grass. The fresh salad greens are nice luxury items for our furry friends, but they'd do just fine on the same mix of native grass, clover, bark, and Mr. McGregor's garden that wild rabbits do. In short, domestic rabbits aren't as different from wild rabbits as you make out. It's mostly lifestyle, and domestic rabbits are a lot tougher than most people give them credit for.

[@brigidtheirish]

@Eternal Spirit They're the same species.

[@FaithRox]

If they cannot breed together, they cannot be the same species. You gave alot of anecdotes but absolutely zero proof of anything. Oh and the "domestic" rabbits introduced to Australia etc were all brought for meat, they were no different from the wild rabbits in Europe.

[@brigidtheirish]

@@FaithRox Are you replying to me or someone else in this thread? Because domestic rabbits and wild rabbits *can* breed together.

[@brigidtheirish]

@Violetta Cai True. As I said before, dogs and wolves are the *same species.*

[@brigidtheirish]

@Dex Tiger What's your argument here, exactly? Because mine was that there's less difference between domestic rabbits and wild rabbits than between domestic dogs and wolves. All your argument says is that they devastated an ecosystem that wasn't designed for for rapidly reproducing herbivores.

Same, my bunny doesn’t like cuddling either but she shows me affection in different ways

[@sahline5738]

Rabbits are pray animals. If you want something you can hug 24/7 buy a stuffed toy. If you bought it from a breeder and know if the parents were nice then just give it space and it will ease up. It takes time, up to 2 years sometimes. If you rescued it, well, the rabbit could be from a backyard breeder or abused, in that case it will have a really hard time accepting you.

[@christamundy7524]

Thank you so much for the help. I will give her some space. Maybe buy her a few more toys. But thank you so much, This really helped!

[@GreymanWalking]

Also is your rabbit Spayed? That can also make a difference as to how "friendly" they are.

wolfgirl I’ve had my bun for 5 years but she still won’t let me cuddle her, but she loves me in other ways

[@doloresashworth8062]

I got a bunny a few weeks ago and u r a BIG help thanks!

[@SquirrelASMR]

I used to have a cottontail in my backyard and hand fed him it was so cute

[@meowerz6446]

I love your videos! This one is pretty fun to watch hehe

[@oglefrugalbugel9646]

Seems like domestic bunnies fur is alot softer and fluffier on average when in compared to wild rabbits, seem to have softer fatter bodies, and their furr also seems shinier. They look so much more soft & cuddly. I love bunnies.

[@adamdiakowsky4026]

Thanks Lorelei that wonderful assignment was so informative and left me thinking there are still things I don't know about domestic rabbits. Btw you dress Lennon so cute with her floral tiara.😊

[@adampanak9782]

And another difference is that, cottontails are not affected by RHD and myxomatosis has very limited impact.

[@adampanak9782]

in Europe, vaccination is recommended because these diseases are deadly and widespread.

[@adampanak9782]

Where do you live? RHD and Myxomatosis are not widespred in USA. And most common vector of RHD and Myxomatosis are mosquitoes in Europe. European Rabbit is not that common nowadays, it is Near Threatened in the wild.RHD and Myxomatosis are spread by unvaccinated meat rabbits and mosquitoes feeding on them, not that rare wild.

[@adampanak9782]

Yes, they may act as a vector, like mosquitoes, but diseases will not kill them.(RHD has a zero impact)

"Established bonds can break for whatever reason". In my case, it was an about 4 hour journey to neuter my Rubh. When we came back, her friend Blue, started attacking her, and never re-friended her 😢. Btw, I love you girls, mommy and bunny Ls 😍😍😍

[@-king-6481]

Stavroula Kougioumitzi aww I’m sorry to hear that 😢, that can be hard. Just to let you know, if you are fixing a girl, it would be spay, not neuter, that’s for boys 😋 best of luck

[@pushmoyante4160]

Both wild and domesticated rabbits are so cute and adorable

[@ebonypegasus9864]

I have bred a wild caught rabbit with a domestic before... they can breed with each other.

[@stayhooked9499]

That's interesting,What were the babies like

[@Nameless82284]

They can't breed, the wild rabbit was probably a domestic one that was brown.

Can you please do how to pickup a squirmy bunny? Thanks😊🐇

[@johnmoran7996]

I've discovered that it's up to the bunny if it wants to be held.my rabbit adamantly doesn't want to be held but she does let me pet her and scratch her head.but some rabbits don't like being handled.best way to pick it up is from underneath to give rabbit full support of the body and a sense of security.it takes time.

[@capybaras383]

There was this really cute wild rabbit living in my backyard which is really weird since I live next to the city and you’d have to drive hours to get to a forest. It was so cute, I’d give it strawberries (I wasn’t sure if rabbits could eat strawberries). It sadly died, im pretty sure it was eaten by a bigger animals but the neighborhood wasn’t safe so it couldn’t have survived due to the amount of car accidents. I was intrigued with it that whenever I’d go to work I’d sing to it on my way to my mum’s car while it stared at me. So adorable.

[@djaztec97]

I always wondered where the hell do domestic rabbits come from, and why do they come in millions of colors and patterns when compared to wild rabbits. Like I know they come from European wild rabbits, but how did they evolved to look so different and cuter? I'm also assuming that people back in the day would see them as food, not pets.

[@mackenziewood2586]

There is a feral domestic bunny in my neighborhood! I’ve tried to catch it using a ‘Have a Heart Trap’ but no luck it looks like a Flemish Giant mix, and it’s gotta be at least 14lb! My guess is that he/she got to big and the owners thought it’d be fine in the wild. He’s still alive after 2 years, but he’s in touch condition.

Yay Early love this channnel soooo much!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@homeschoolshenanigans4511]

This is very eye opening as to why our bunnies need certain things that wild rabbits don’t. Thank you!!!

[@maryecho9215]

The wild bunnies around our house approach me and sometimes let me pet them, but they definitely look like cottontails.. maybe I'm just good with em :p
