" Theyre quite animals " Hahahahaha absolutely not. Well maybe if you dont let them freeroam but every night from 1-5 am ill hear all kindas of random stuff
My first pet was a fish then it was my sisters hamster bc she didn't take care of it then i had got three of my own dwarf hamsters then they all past away after 3 and a halderman years then i got my bunny Velvet. 😊
A RECOMMENDATION IF UR BUNNY LOVES TO DIG take a deep dish with four sides and fill it with paper rolls or even paper litter and make sure not to fill it fully or ur rabbit willl face extreme heat in but enough so ur bunny can dig and plz dont come at me but this is my experience throughout the yrs of bunny care
“One of the cleanest animals” “high maintenance, daily cleaning of living space” which is it😂 doesn’t matter much if they’re well groomed if they’re making the whole house dirty lol
Also they will chew on anything! My bun bun of 10 years have chewed not only cables, but also all the wallpaper off my house walls, yoga mats and so on😅
Make great companies, True. Quiet and Clean?! Not at all True! Just because an animal doesn’t have vocal sounds that they make doesn’t mean they can’t be loud! Rabbits Thump their hind legs when mad or angry and it is very loud especially when it’s at THREE AM. But besides that and the fact that rabbits are little perfectionists and even if your carpet is a little ruffled up they will dig and tear that carpet until it is no more which is also vary vary loud! Rabbits will also try to burrow in the floor at three am, which the sound of rabbit claws hitting my hardwood floor does not help me sleep! SO NO RABBITS ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT QUIET. Rabbits also kick all the bedding, hay, and poop out of the litter box. In fixed male rabbits also spray like cats spraying pee a couple feet away from them. Especially if a female rabbit is need by. SO NO RABBITS ARE NOT CLEAN EITHER! SO STOP SAYING THAT.
People don’t realize it’s a toddler and a puppy with a grown man’s agression into a fluff ball. You have to keep everything out of reach and do training daily or else it goes out the window and they have temper tantrums
A bunny was my starter pet and I've never looked back! I did months of research before bringing my first bun home, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. I've been owning rabbits for over 20 years and they are the perfect pet for me!
Today mine died and she was 3yrs old.. cause of death, the groomers mishandled her, which torn her tendons and dislocated her knee cap..gave her back to us clean fur but broken. We didn't have enough money and had to do home treatment and have her on meds for a while till we had just enough money to pay for surgery…today she succumbed to the pain and died. I will report those groomers/staff and shop that did this to her..my beloved little one..she was so healthy until she came out of this groomer shop.
Rabbits don't have pads on their feet like cats and dogs. So, them being kept on a wire floor is like if we had to walk with our shins on a patchwork of wooden dowels. Depending on the species, rabbits can have over 40 bones in one foot, and wire floors may misalign some of them, like Chinese foot-binding for rabbits, affecting their ability to run, jump, and play. Keeping rabbits on wire floors and in cages is illegal in Austria, Switzerland & the Nederlands. They can break their toes and rip their nails in the wire, and unless you inspect their feet everyday, you wouldn't even know it. If they get spooked and try to bolt, they can slip on the slick wire and paralyze themselves. Also, they need to digest some of their food twice, to absorb necessary protein and b-vitamins ect, which they can't do if their cecotropes are falling through the wire floor, and that causes nutritional deficiencies. Wire floors cause painful pressure points. Just imagine being kept in a room with only hard surfaces for weeks. It would be torture, even with shoes on. They can't maintain proper posture, or stand on their hind legs comfortably on wire, because of the uneven pressure that it puts on their feet. Rabbits don't belong in cages, they need just as much room as dogs and cats. They also can't dig or run (Natural and instinctive behaviors) on wire floors, and digging/running is very important for their physical and mental health. Digging isn't optional for rabbits, it's instinctual. Dig boxes are great enrichment toys for them, and rugs can protect your carpets.
Female rabbits have about an 85% chance of getting uterine cancer by age 3 if they don't get spayed. Breeding them doesn't prevent it either, that has been debunked. Uterine cancer causes slow and painful deaths to rabbits. Spaying your rabbits will drastically increase their lifespans, and even their litterbox habits. Potential adopters need to know this. It wouldn't be right to the rabbits or the buyers, to keep that information (and the expected cost) from them. Please get your female rabbits spayed, or get a written agreement from whoever adopts them that they will take them to an exotic vet to be spayed. Please be sure you adopt them to people who will provide them with proper vet care.
Male rabbits should be neutered to reduce unwanted behaviors like spraying, being overly territorial/aggressive, and to prevent them from causing a surprise litter of kits. It's a very lucky rabbit that ends up with a responsible owner who has the means to give them everything they need. Spaying/neutering is important.
Rabbits shouldn't be kept on slick floors like hardwood or linoleum, either. They can slip and kick out their backs if they get startled and try to run too fast, because their feet are covered with fur. They should have carpet (and I recommend rugs too, in case they dig on the carpet, which they probably will) for traction.
Rabbits shouldn't be given pellets in bowls. They can get too many in their mouths at once and choke. I think everyone should familiarize themselves with the rabbit heimlich maneuver. There are videos on YouTube that demonstrate it. The safest way to feed them pellets, is to scatter-feed them. It keeps them from getting at too many at once and choking, plus it satisfies their natural foraging instinct and keeps them physically and mentally stimulated for awhile. Food toys like Wobble Teasers and snuffle mats are great for slowing down their eating, too.
When you pick up a rabbit, it's very important that their bottoms are always supported. Their weight should be evenly distributed. If a rabbit kicks when it's being held improperly, it can break its back. There are videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to properly hold a rabbit. Never pick them up by the scruff, it causes serious damage!!!
And please don't advertise rabbits as being suitable pets for children. They're prey animals, scare easily, and can die of fright. Rabbits prefer quiet, calm, predictable environments. They are also delicate, and can easily be injured by accident if a child tries to pick them up improperly. They are very complex animals and not suitable for most children, or anyone who doesn't have a great aptitude for reading. Children often loose interest in them once they're more involved with school and friends, and the bunnies often get dumped in parks/woods, or end up in rescue shelters and euthanized. They do not deserve that!! A responsible adult should always be the primary caretaker for a rabbit.
Rabbits shouldn't be advertised as "good with cats and dogs", as a cat or dogs hunting instinct only has to kick in once and a rabbit can get seriously hurt, or killed. Rabbits can also die from heart attacks caused by fright. Please don't second guess this.
Rabbits aren't suitable as farm/livestock animals. Most people who try to use them that way are unlikely to be able do it ethically, as rabbits have too many needs that need to be met, are too perceptive, and their fear response is too strong. Besides, they aren't as "sustainable" as they're hyped up to be, as their meat is too low in fat, and a person can't survive on it. Rabbit meat is not a good survival food. There are way better things to do on a farm then raise rabbits. Raising them for meat is disgusting and horrific. There are lots of ways to get complete protein, without causing all that suffering.
Rabbits should never wear collars, as their necks are very delicate. It they get spooked by an animal, car, ect and run, they can easily break their necks. Step-In harnesses are a much safer option, but people should do their research on safe harnesses and their use for rabbits before using one. There are YouTube videos on the topic.
Rabbits are highly social animals, and form strong bonds with their owners and their mates. They get lonely and stressed if isolated for too long, leading to depression, weakened immune systems, and health problems. They should be kept in pairs (or trios) for this reason, or have an owner who spends a lot of time with them. Be sure to learn how to bond with to your rabbits. There's videos on YouTube on bonding.
Carrots can be bad for rabbits if fed too much, or too often. They have sensitive digestive systems, and too much sugar leads to gut bacteria imbalance, and can cause gastrointestinal GI stasis, and be deadly to them. Every rabbit owner should be sure to know how to identify symptoms of GI Stasis, like not eating, becoming inactive for an unusual length of time, and remaining hunched-up. There are videos on YouTube about GI Stasis in rabbits. Their diet should consist of at least 80% hay (they should have a bundle the size of themselves every single day, since they're picky and only eat their favorite pieces), 15% rabbit safe greens and vegetables, and a small amount of pellets (Pellets don't have the long fiber strands necessary for wearing down their constantly growing teeth, like hay does), and water served in bowls. Water bottles can cause neck strain in rabbits and cause low water consumption. They can become blocked, and are harder to sanitize. Drinking from bowls is much more natural for rabbits. Small pieces of carrot, and rabbit safe fruit should only be served occasionally as treats. It's vital to make sure you're giving your rabbits a proper diet to help prevent GI stasis, which can kill within hours. Every rabbit owner should have a "Recovery Food" like Critical Care or Sherwood Pet Health Recovery Food in the rabbit first aid kit, in case they do get GI stasis and won't eat. The most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject is called "Rabbit Not Eating? How to Syringe-Feed Critical Care (+DIY Recipe)", on the "Lennon The Bunny" YouTube channel.
If you think you're allergic to rabbits, it's most likely Timothy hay that's causing the issue. I suggest switching to Orchard grass or Oat grass hay, and using one or more air purifiers. You can also wash your hands after serving the hay, to avoid spreading the dust around.
People shouldn't be breeding rabbits. The rescues are crowded with bunnies that need forever homes. Rabbit care is also intensive , and they frequently end up in places where they don't get the care they need. People getting them should be told to do their research on proper rabbit care before they get one (or a trio), and all rabbit breeders should be sure the adopters know and understand the basics and intend to keep learning (as they inevitably will).
Barren hutches are especially bad for rabbits. They need to have knawing materials to wear down their teeth. Their teeth keep growing, all throughout their lives. Without lots of hay and knawing material, a seriously painful and potentially deadly dental problem is likely to occur (malocclusion). If you breed rabbits, and won't stop, please upgrade your rabbit care protocol to Austrian/Swiss/Dutch standards. They need to engage in natural behaviors, that they can't engage in when confined to a cage or hutch. The ancient Romans kept rabbits more humanely then a lot of breeders do today. They need to be able to scratch their instinctual itches (spend time foraging, running, jumping ect).
If you're using a cage or hutch please scrap it, as they are overall horrible (basically, torture chambers) for rabbits. Everyone should learn to bunny-proof a spacious area, and free-roam them. It's what you'd want for yourself, if you were born a bunny. That makes sense, right?
For the best rabbit care advice on YouTube, I highly recommend the "Lennon The Bunny", "Sincerely Cinnabun", "Hop Notch", "The Bunnies Brigade", "The Bunny Lady", and "Cinnamon Bun & Morty" channels. Please recommend these channels to others, and feel free to forward this message.
I was full on ready to buy one and then I read this group of people who have rabbits and almost all of them were destroying the houses. I get that you could in theory prevent this by making them their own room but like why would I pay so much more money for rent just because a rabbit is acting like a beaver? Munching on furnitures. Cables would be the worse. I have a roomba and an air purifyer. I ise chargers. I will never survive in a house where I have to put cables on shelfs and make some labirynth in my home to put fences around appliance. It it way too much work. Many people also said that despite all the work they do, their bunnies dont like them and dont even like to be pet. There was also a post about how much mess they make when eating hay and just spreading it everywhere, pooping everywhere despite being trained to poop in the litterbox. For many people they took away half the flat, forced people to clean like 40 minutes a day and gave owners an angry teen treatment. The one that won the most unhinged award, was this rabbit that pees in someone’s walls. There were quite a few of them that also peed on the floor for no reason. They are a like an untrained cat that despises you and destroys everything. No thank you

" Theyre quite animals " Hahahahaha absolutely not. Well maybe if you dont let them freeroam but every night from 1-5 am ill hear all kindas of random stuff
My first pet was a fish then it was my sisters hamster bc she didn't take care of it then i had got three of my own dwarf hamsters then they all past away after 3 and a halderman years then i got my bunny Velvet. 😊
Also bunny poop helps grow plants
They also chew on everything if you don’t watch them or block off things

A RECOMMENDATION IF UR BUNNY LOVES TO DIG
take a deep dish with four sides and fill it with paper rolls or even paper litter and make sure not to fill it fully or ur rabbit willl face extreme heat in but enough so ur bunny can dig and plz dont come at me but this is my experience throughout the yrs of bunny care
After a struggle of year , my bunnies r visible at day time underneath my dining table. Lunch n dinner time they give me company regularly! 🥰🤗
Love bunnies 🐰🐇😻💞
My bunny digs against my shirt sleeve when I’m sitting. I have no idea what this means. Can someone help???
My bunny loves dry wall😊😊
Pro: they steal your heart then your house and you dont mind one bit 😂
“One of the cleanest animals” “high maintenance, daily cleaning of living space” which is it😂 doesn’t matter much if they’re well groomed if they’re making the whole house dirty lol
Also they will chew on anything! My bun bun of 10 years have chewed not only cables, but also all the wallpaper off my house walls, yoga mats and so on😅
Admiring a live stuffed animal is where the pros end

SO NO RABBITS ARE NOT CLEAN EITHER! SO STOP SAYING THAT.
My Rabbit isn’t quiet
Digging for me isn’t a problem, my bunnies live outside
People don’t realize it’s a toddler and a puppy with a grown man’s agression into a fluff ball. You have to keep everything out of reach and do training daily or else it goes out the window and they have temper tantrums
All Pros apart from poo pee but she goes in her box she's perfect pet love my willow wispa 😂❤
A bunny was my starter pet and I've never looked back! I did months of research before bringing my first bun home, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. I've been owning rabbits for over 20 years and they are the perfect pet for me!
We gave our rabbit a litter box and it just did it, made a slight mess occasionally but nothing a quick sweep didnt fix
Today mine died and she was 3yrs old.. cause of death, the groomers mishandled her, which torn her tendons and dislocated her knee cap..gave her back to us clean fur but broken. We didn't have enough money and had to do home treatment and have her on meds for a while till we had just enough money to pay for surgery…today she succumbed to the pain and died. I will report those groomers/staff and shop that did this to her..my beloved little one..she was so healthy until she came out of this groomer shop.
They poo non stop
Mine knows how to go to the toilet, so cleanliness is not a problem😊

I want a bunny but they are illegal where i live 🙁
