Our newest bunny is 5 years old. We’ve only had him for a week. I sat on the floor in front of his pen while he was eating his veggies last night I started talking to him; then he got mad and stomped at me. 😂 Pretty hilarious. I just left him alone after that. We have 5 other rabbits that are 8 to 11 years old; and we’ve fostered over 50 bunnies in the last 10 years. He obviously doesn’t like to be bothered at meal times. 😊

I studied and read all about Rabbits for almost 2 months. When I first Adopted My Son Kirby 🐇, I slept on the floor for 3 day's. Let him come to me. The first morning I woke up he had Chewed my shoes. By the 3 night, he tried to take the Treats from my shirt pocket. He looked at me and did the Super Man Pose just watching me. I made sure that I Bunny proof my home first. Kirby 🐇 is a Flemish Giant, Free Roamer, and Eating Chewing Machine, 15 lbs of Pure Fun. Big Time Chewer. He has Chewed, 2 beds, blankets, rugs, furniture, cord's, Shoes, clothes and my hair. I forgot almost all my jeans 👖 have been Chewed at the bottom. When we watch TV together at night he will jump on the couch, 🛋️ or do the Super Man Pose between my legs. I Promised Him No Cage Never Again. I Meant It. Kirby 🐇 is the Boss of the House. He's My Life. A 73 year old Crazy Bunny Father.🤗👍✨🥰💝🥕🥬🍌🐰

I don’t have a rabbit yet, but when I would get one, I’ll remember all of these tips! 😊

Cinnabun is an adorable bunny 🐰 🐇 💙 It is so much fun to watch him play! If this is the second bunny 🐰 🐇 you have had it won't take long for you to realize you will probably need to do more bunny proofing! Have a great Sunday, Cinnabun! Bunnies 🐰 🐇 RULE!

I have a, ways had free range buns too, as a kid my whole room was their room, as an adult now we still keep the x pen for bedtime as we have other animals and love that bun can have some free time to rest and have time away from the other animals in our home, so everyone is safe and well

i have a little box, haybox, waterproof rugs, extra rug, food/water bow, hide house, toys and stackable cups coming today.. and the cage (like urs) coming in 2 days🤭 I’m so excited she will be free range!!

My rabbit bonded really quickly, and litter trained really well. He free roams during the day, and goes in a massive pen at night. Mainly because I wouldn’t have any furniture left if he was left out. He’s now five, and has decided he likes digging in his litter tray and making it flew all over my sitting room, especially when it’s fresh litter. He also loves throwing around his food bowl. I tried water in a bowl as they say don’t give them bottles, but the water in the bowl lasted two minutes before ending up on the floor. I tried all types of bowls and he’s such a big rabbit, he manages to throw all of them. I bunny proofed, but I still have no bottoms on my curtains, chewed carpet, and so many holes in my leather sofa, it looks like a patchwork. I even made the mistake once of drying a top on the radiator, and when I looked, one arm was laying on the floor. Now he’s older, he doesn’t jump around so much as he has arthritis in his back half. He does like to learn on you while he’s sleeping. His breed only lives to six. The vet said he may live longer as he’s well cared for. He is a joy to have, he will be greatly missed when it’s his time to go.

I'm enjoying watching these videos, as Cinnabun's owner knows what she's going to say, being clear and organized about presentation, and not using the word 'like' in every sentence! A pleasant learning video to reinforce and clarify what I've researched (about a few weeks from adopting). Thanks!

I get sooo excited on Sundays for your video!!! I’m getting new bunnies next week and have binned through all you videos because they are more informational than almost everything else I’ve tried looking at! This helped a lot because I want to be very prepared for my two new little fluff babies

[IamQuepaski]

This is my first time seeing baby Cinnabun, as I think it was like 6 months or so after you started your channel I subbed. I had already had my girl Momo for a while, my bro had put her outside in a hutch. But because of your channel and Lennon's I managed to get her inside to inside free-roam but she went outside every day for 4 hours at a time. I bonded with her within 3 weeks. When I got Jin it was like 5-6 weeks till we bonded. He was curious about me though I'd sit on the floor film my tiktoks and he would be chasing things around me, so cute. Now he likes to jump on my bed give kisses get pets as I'm drifting off to sleep. Then he'd put himself to bed.

First off the blow out is flawless. I can’t even focus on the video lol

[Colappe]

My bunnies just bite me and yes I've done all of these

[rachelandersen]

Thank you for this!! I work with a rescue sometimes and your channel is the one I recommend to new bunny owners over any other! ❤❤

[clothildanshalang]

Cinna is soo adorable. i got my Honeymoon when he was only three weeks old and immediately we played a bonding game and that meant lesser time for potty training, my regret came when he can now pee and poop that he did it everywhere, uncontrollably. we are two moths together and potty training is not consistent as i work 8 to 5. thank you for your video, soo encouraging and i will start right over with introductions. this is my second punny, we did so well with my first, simply because we took a lil longer to bond, and even when we did, it was never as close as i wished.

[OnceinaSixSide]

Thanks for making these. I brought home a couple of 4 month old boys recently (different litters but they had been together since 8 weeks and are very friendly toward one another).

Right now they're limited to just my room, and they learned pretty quick to pee in the litter, but they're still pooping everywhere 😅 One of them is also spraying a lot which is kind of frustrating to deal with, but they're both booked in for their neutering soon so 🤞 that helps the poor behaviour and to speed up litter training so they can roam the rest of the house :)

[gerrimiller]

We speak softly to our baby bun, lots of petting on his forehead, healthy veggies 🥬🍎and training treats...it'll take time but the baby bun loves encouragement

[Samina-gfyb]

mine had sadly passed away because i didnt take care of it well since i didnt know the basics but ever since ive been watching your channel i started to understand my mistakes and decided to get a new bunny and started free roaming without you i feel like my life would be miserable. Tysmmm!
