I paid $25 to adopt my baby at a shelter, but she wasn't spayed. It cost me around $600 to get her fixed, but I am not going to deal with that again. You forgot to mention what you feel WHILE your bun is at the vet, getting fixed, and then what you feel the first 2 days post op -since some bunnies don't make it past the surgery-. I was very anxious and worried those entire 3 days, but everything went well. Now my bunny bullies our dog and has claimed the whole house as hers

Altering can be very expensive. Most places near me were $700-$1000! Which is crazy. That's just the procedure no overnight, meds, or anything. I found a REALLY good vet that I was comfortable with and the procedure only cost $80. I didn't do overnight, and they didn't give me extra meds. But my vet did really good and thankfully zero complications.
Thank you for sharing these videos and continue the good work! I always look forward to my Sunday Cinnabun video.

I live in the suburbs and purchase hay in a compressed bale for about $25 and it can last 12 months! I also buy high quality pellets for a lot less! Comes to about $3 a month! Farm stores sell high quality for a fraction of the cost! Pet store hay, pellets and bedding are incredibly expensive! Happiest of Sundays Cinnabun!

Cinnabun is an adorable 🐰 bunny! Bunnies are a lot of work! They aren't cheap, but they are worth it! They are such loving furry family members! Have a great Sunday, Cinnabun! Bunnies 🐰 RULE!

It is true bunnies are NOT cheap, but they are soooo darn cute!!! Thanks for sharing this video. 🥰

My boy was free on Facebook marketplace and I paid $275 to neuter him. I probably spend between $100-125 a month for food and toys. I use shredded paper for his liter box and he has his own bedroom. It’s important to have chewies for your buns. This really helps keep them from destroying wires and cords.

Hi, i know this isnt in all parts of the country, but where I live we are advised to get RHDV2 vaccines for all domestic rabbits, even indoor only pets. My vet charged $50 for the beginning series of 2 shots, and from now on it will be $25 yearly. That's on top of yearly exams. I'm happy to pay this for such a devastating disease.

$40 a month on hay? You can spend $80 for a 40lb bale of hay shipped to you. I have 2 bunnies. That lasts 5-6 months.

Also, bedding for the litter box. A 40lb bag of compressed pine shaving pellets is $7-10 from a farm supply store.

Get a bumbox or another litter box with 2 levels. You can put a couple scoops in the bottom. Don't even have to change it every day since the pellets are so absorbent.

Great video. Very informative. I would just add a couple of things.. 1. Supplies for stasis: infant gas drops and emergency food/electrolytes replacement. I like the Sherwood rescue kit, personally. It has apetite restore and emergency food. 2. An emergency fund for unexpected vet bills, including emergency visits/hospitalizations for stasis. It’s so important to be vigilant of their health since they’re so delicate and vet care cannot be delayed, especially if they stop eating. I know you’ve mentioned it in other videos, but I think it’s helpful to mention it here as well.

I have my 2nd bun Jin he turns 3 this year and he adores those oxbow pellets and digestive multivitamin treats, which I got from your vids I buy them online through a vet store and I alternate but to get them all up including shipping. I get 4 bags and the pellets to get me through 2 months with treats to share with mates bun for just over $95 this is in NZ so while this stuff is expensive, I get hay by bales cause allergic to timothy so orchard or meadow so it's like 5 or 10 per bale depending on the season. His hidey house paid bro 80 for untreated timber and he made a house he does joinery for a living but Jin loves his house. So thanks to you and other bunnytubers I was able to figure out things I could do for my boy.

I love this video! I think this is great for new bun moms/dads who have yet to know the deep dive on how much a rabbit can be. Before I started really getting into the rabbit community I didn’t know that adoption was the best way to go when it comes to rabbits and I got my rabbit through a breeder as well and I was charged $200 off the rip not including all the food and supplies needed and vet costs. These little guys are just as important/expensive as cats and dogs please be aware for everyone who’s considering getting a bunny. 🐰💕

I would also like to add that sometimes you can get surprised vet bills that can cost thousands of dollars if your little one gets sick. This past week my almost 2 year old bunny had to go to the vet because he wasn't eating only to find out that it wasn't stasis but something is wrong with his liver. We have currently spent over a little of $1000 getting him checked and getting medicine. This amount is still counting because we haven't figured out what exactly is wrong with his liver so he has to get follow up exam and tests. We are also looking at a potential $4000 surgery. This is when we found out about Care Credit which is a credit card you can use for veterinary expenses and interest can be deferred for 6-12 months. I'm suggesting this as an alternative to pet insurance for those who don't want to use it and also because with insurance you still have to pay all these bills upfront before you do get reimbursed by insurance and Care Credit can cover things that insurance might not such as neuters and spays.

But other than medical bills, bunnies can be relatively reasonable to afford especially if you buy in bulk

Love seeing how your channel has evolved and grown over the last few years! A new sunday video always feels like a treat ^_^.

"She has eaten a laptop charger"

Just exactly whose laptop charger did you eat, Cinnabun?

[lefeamni]

So important to talk about the real cost of having rabbits! But you probably should've mentioned unexpected vet bills too. That's the absolute biggest rabbit related expense for me. Also, I have had free roam rabbits for almost 5 years ans currently have three. But I have only lost one single cable. 😂

[emilyyork]

i got my bunny for free at a rabbit rescue and they gave me [for free] a litter box a big bag of food, toys, an x-pen, also a snuffle mat, and a couple other things! they are so great!

[KeatynHM]

Early~I love you’re videos so much it had really helped with my new bunny cinabun is so cute❤

[tamaratoday]

Great video, Morgan. The cost of a giving a bunny proper care is no joke. Like Cinnabun, I have a bunny that can be prone to stasis. We’ve made some lifestyle changes, but there was an instance where the stasis was so bad that we needed to visit the ER vet. We were there for only six hours and it was $1000 for outpatient care.

Guten morgen, Morgan! ~ Hope you and your family are well today ~ thank you for another great video.

You look so pretty ✨
