I was fortunate enough that my bun loved me from first time he had seen me. The first day he flopped next to my legs. Not that he's really social, he's pretty much used only to my husband and me. But even after 4 years we still struggle to pick him up, when I have to cut bun's nails then the only options are tricking him into the bathroom with treats or picking him up while he's napping. So even if your rabbit is comfortable with you they might still not like being held and that's okay. I don't like if someone holds me too.

I just got my bunny yesterday and we named her Honeybun. She’s been flopping on her side and sprawling so it’s very comforting to know she’s doing okay in those moments

The bond I share with my rabbit is unlike any other bond I’ve shared with an animal. He is my first love and my whole world, and the best thing about it is that other people can see how close we are.

He follows me everywhere, binkies and head tosses when he sees me (sometimes) and comes running up to me. He also LOVES sitting on my shoulder, so our vets call him a parrot bunny and joke that he’s actually related to parrots 😂

I had to take him to the vets for a health check last week and the vet said she could see how much he trusts me because he was very happy on my shoulder ❤

i have had 16 rabbits over the last 35+ years. They were all with me from 8 weeks to 6 months old until they passed as very old happy rabbits. I find your tips very accurate and you have an engaging personality unlike others that want to judge what is done without knowing the individual rabbit. All rabbits are different just like people, they all have their own distinct personalities. Thank you for educating people correctly on how to have free roaming rabbits. Currently i have 2 rabbits that I can pet even in their blind spots and they beg for it. My oldest 6 1/2 year old bunny guards my bedroom door at night and almost attacked my youngest son when he still lived at home. It was very funny as Chilly started to turn and run when my son entered the room but then turned around and for the first time he growled, lol at my son. My son immediately said Chilly it's just me then Chilly let him pet him. They treated each other like brothers and Chilly trust him like a brother but Chilly is my guard dog, it's so funny to witness. Again Thank You for the appropriate training on how to handle your rabbit to start out.

This has been most helpful. I recently rescued a rabbit who has spent most her life in a shelter and she is very stand offish to me. I let her smell me and if she turns away I leave her alone. Lately she has been nudging my hand when I get her treats and today she ate out of my hand. Something she has never done before. Baby steps and this helped with things I didn't understand about rabbits. Thank you for the helpful tips!

When we want to pet our bunnies, we always stick our hand out slowly for them to see and let them sniff it first. They always let us know if they’re ready for pets. They either nudge their head under our hand or they turn away. If they turn away, we don’t force it. Good video!

Thank you so much for the help! My bunny is anti-social but when i did what you said, my bunny started to actually come near me and trust me!

My bunbun Kiwi, that i got around 10 days ago, is kinda "naive" in a way. Everything that you see on the internet about bunnies taking time to trust you, is not really her (not to say that the facts are wrong, its just that every bunny is different!). When i first met her i layed on the floor and kinda just waited for her to climb on me or come to me on her own. From that point on, I would say we formed a bond. Every time I let her out of her cage she runs up to me and jumps on my lap. Im really thankful for her.

I love seeing so much of Cinnabun! I could watch her 24/7 :)

New Rabbit owner here !🤣 I welcomed my english angora about a month ago. He will be 1 in August. Super helpful video!! I just want to love him so much but knowing his signs (flicking me off haha) is super helpful! I will definitely try all of the tips and tricks

[NSATranslations]

Your videos are helping so much… I just got my baby but I feel less lost on how to help her feel safe and like this is her home too❤

My bunny turned 2 months old yesterday and this will help alot for the future. As we grow together. 😊

Dear Morgan, I know it is none of my business and I mean this respectfully: Your facial features are absolutely gorgeous and you have a lovely, authentic, sincere aura. You don't need the filler, you radiate on your own.

My partner and I have adopted a bunny with a bone structure mutation caused by biological experiments aimed at making these adorable animals 'cuter' and smaller. It has been a tough time for us as we try to understand how to care for her. We also have two rescued cats. We are good parents to our animals, but having a bunny is particularly challenging—especially when your pet has a physical disability. Thank you for your tips. ❤

P.S. We considered having surgery, but we truly didn't want to add more stress to our bunny's life. We've done everything possible to create an accessible environment for her.

[Artsycrossing]

I got my first bunny a could of months ago and I would just like to thank you about how much your videos have helped me.

This was very helpful in getting me to understand the behavior of this rabbit that's been visiting my home the past 2 weekend. It's currently in my yard now feeding on my grass. When I saw that it's comfortable while laying down I got excited...because it decided to lay down and I thought, "Oh, cool, it's comfortable around me".

My rabbit milo unfortunately passed away the summer of last year 😔but I still love to watch ur videos, all the love and cuddles for Cinnabun ❤❤❤!

[shaemckenna]

My bunny only hides…wants absolutely nothing to do with us 😂 but he’s so good at escaping his pen! We are constantly having to go find him and pick him up and I feel awful because I can tell he hates it
