FREE ROAMING | The reality of free roam rabbits

In this video, I go through some of the pros and cons of having three free roam rabbits; I’ll be showing you the reality of free roaming. I have 3 male bunnies who are all neutered and litter trained (believe it or not) because they are still extremely territorial! I've only had 2 bunnies previously so I've learnt a few new things by adding a third bun. I've also strengthened some important benefits I still stand by in regards to free roaming your rabbit in general.

Some of the cons of free roaming 3 rabbits:
1. It can be messy
2. Bunny proofing

The benefits of free roaming are:
1. Closer bond with your rabbits
2. More affectionate buns
3. More enrichment
4. More exercise

My hot take on free roaming:
I live in my brothers house so it's not always feasible to keep them free roamed and that's completely understandable for everyone who is in a similar situation. I believe that you should do your best to give your buns the most space you can, but it is completely fine if you can't.

(This is the first time I tried free roaming them after beginning the bonding process. Their bonding process is not complete yet so you'll see that they alternate from different living situations around the house.)

Hope you learn something about free roaming from my experience with free roaming Ash, Milky and Cookie

Reality of a free roam rabbit: My mom screaming and chasing my rabbit around the house after she stole a packet of hot sauce from the coffee table

Despite how messy they can be, I've definitely found myself being tidier because I don't want my bunnies to get to anything chewable

Yes I wish people would be more honest about “litter training”. They will pee in their box but stray poops will be ~everywhere~

It’s not the worst thing ever but having a rabbit that only poops in a litter box is not as common as people make it out to be

[bellasommer]

love how realistic this video is! my bunny loves to "burrow" on my rug, but we bought a foraging mat and he's forgotten all about the rug!

[RascalHooligan]

THANK YOU for being honest. Everyone acts like bunnies arent poop machines and had me looking at my bun like he was a pooper anomaly

[tamzin]

This makes my free roam rabbit look so so boring. He literally sticks to one room in the house and spends all day flopping hahha

Thanks for this video! So many pet youtubers act like free roaming rabbits is easy with no mess but in reality it isn’t. This video really helps show how it actually is and I appreciate that.

[meganhall]

Mine doesn’t poop only in his litter box he is a good free roam house trained bunny it surprises me how good he is! Btw all your bun buns are ADORABLE🤩💕

[snowvalkyrie]

Thank you for your honesty. I need that right now. I have been toying with the idea of getting a rabbit on and off for a while now and I want to be the best owner I can be.

[GooseandaGander]

That's really cute! We like to let our buns out around the house too but only when we can watch them haha

Before getting my rabbit Tigger I didn't watch a lot of youtube videos about rabbits. I'm honestly so greatful now that Tigger has taken so well to being litter box trained. I'm really lucky that he doesn't poo or pee outside of his litter box. Before free roaming him, I took about 2 months to ensure he was using the litter box properly. I'm getting another rabbit on Thursday ( named him Haru), I hope he does well with the litter box as well.

The cuteness of those 3 bunnies alone are worth every mess they make.

[jadeflowrs]

Thank you for this video lmao. I did a lot of research on rabbits and having free roam rabbits and their litter training/litterbox habbits but whenever I'd watch a youtube video it would be like... perfect and I always felt like I was doing wrong. This makes me feel better about my rabbits

[jackmcgoof]

I've been having my bunnies free roam for a while now and it is a bliss. It was a lot and I mean a LOT of work to proof my room for them and they still mess things up or get at things they shouldn't but I'm woriking on constantly changing their and my livingspace to give them a safe and happy life! Very very nice video ♡

[alicestirling]

I have three free roam boy bunnies and they hardly ever poop outside the litterbox. They are all fixed. I wonder why some groups are stricter with their poo than others. Bunnys are so interesting! 🐰

[LalaaLove]

Your bunnies are sooo cute! I’m glad you kept it realistic because it’s useful for new bunny mommies such as myself! Lol ! Thanks for sharing girl! 🐰✨😊

I have one bunny. And he doesn't even leave poop around the house. He's totally litter trained and the house is bunny proofed. I sweep hay constantly and brush him every other day. He free roams and we're past the destructive phase. Even though I love him, I can't imagine another one in the mix because it might not be as well behaved as my one special little bun.

[carlosaugustoferreirakopp]

I was thinking about adopting another bunny because they are the cutest but your video changed my mind, thanks! <3

Lennon's channel needs a dose of reality.

Thank you for sharing this! I have two rabbits that are free roam. Marlin is 6 and is territorial like your bunnies and he’s neutered. Blueberry is 1 and is PROFICIENT at using his box. So just having one bun to clean up after is not the worst. I agree with all the pros you mentioned in the video. As much as I hate cleaning Marlin’s poop all day every day, I would hate even more to hear the cage rattling at night because he wants to run around and play.
