How To Hold a Bunny

Hello Buns! Welcome to Cinnabun Sundays, a weekly video series about all things bunny. Today we are sharing our tips on how to hold your bunny.

Just a reminder, bunnies are prey animals. When their feet leave the ground, they automatically go into fight-or-flight mode. Please handle your bunny responsibly.

I love this! One of my buns, Lola used to bite you and didn’t let you touch her, since she came from a family that totally neglected her:( but now she just climbs all over me and wants so many pets, and never bites! Also you videos have helped me soo much! They even convinced my roommate to let the buns live in a bigger space, and run around free!

I love your channel because even though you encourage free-roaming you never state “free roam or don’t get a bunny” like some other bunny YouTubers, and you give tips for everyone even those who (like me) are unable to free roam their bunnies 😊❤

I tried picking Basil up in short segments while she was eating and she caught on too 😂😂 buns are too smart!

all these tips are sooo great! Thank you for sharing ♥️

I always am happy with someone like you putting forth the effort to educate other people about bunnies. To me it's a relief that you show us your sincere concerns about how everyone of the us should also become aware of the plight of bunnies. And I know that you and others who have youtube bunny videos know that the lives of average bunnies can become precariously uncertain and there are some people who should just be locked up for being heartless when it comes to bunny rabbits. I will find myself crying sometimes when I think about my bunny Vinny Underfoot, and that one day he won't be there, and how devastating it will be for me, an otherwise headstrong, scarred up construction worker, who never knew how precious life was until my girlfriend brought our baby home to me almost 6 years ago. Thank you for your videos of kindness and caring towards bunnies...

I just have to stop being scared to hold him 😂

Our little bun is 6 months old soon and he doesn’t like being held at all. I’ve tried, but he gets so stressed. So now I’m stressed by the thought of picking him up and holding him. He is the cuddliest thing when he has all feet on the ground.

A friend of ours gifted me a bunny on Friday! I had no idea lol and therefore nothing in the house for him. So Saturday I went to a local pet store and got essentials, mostly 😆, but who can resist toys?? I've named him Bolt after the Olympic sprinter. He moves so fast. Bolt is only a baby but he is very cuddly. Climbs onto my feet for cuddles or pats. Amazing! We have a pigeon and have learned to read her body language. I'm doing the same thing with Bolt. I am getting better already at the bathroom sign...but sometimes not quick enough 🤔😄. Your videos are extremely helpful to me as I've never expected to own a bunny. Thank you!

Can’t wait to be a bun mom, this‘ll definitely come in handy! 😄

This was so good! Whiskey is awful at being picked up but I love the idea of short practice sessions 🙌🏽

[wildlinesbranding]

Coconut was mostly terrible at being put back down (total freakout) but now she's relaxed. Although I have to say I didn't know being on their back was bad?... ours loves being "a croissant" on her back and get the pets! She also started getting into our hoodies to cuddle and give kisses. It's the cutest thing!

[BunsinaPod]

I really want to get my bunny used to being picked up, but I am scared that she won’t like me after I do grab her.

[GraceBowen-gnru]

I’m literally finding bunny fur in my shirt they crawl all over me and I love them so much thanks for the help Morgan 😊

I never planned to ever have a bunny as a pet it wasn't even a consideration until one day I was coming home and saw a cage thrown at the side of the road with two bunnies one was already dead. Not even for a second I hesitated to take the cage with me home. I already got 5 cats that I would literally die for but I was in a situation that I can never leave the bunny left alone like that. Thankfully I got a big 2 bedroom house and guess what I re arrange one room entirely for the bunny I even called him Juno. I learned everything I could in few days about the bunny went on shopping sprees just to buy all the necessary and unnecessary stuff for him 😁😆😅. The room is so huge and it has great ventilation system which is good for his breathing since my cats are everywhere. Now, to my surprise, it took Juno just one day to be litter trained, and almost instantly when I allowed my cats to sniff him, he took the lead first and chased all my cats, rubbed his chin into almost everything he came across including me and my cats ( He claimed his territory at once ) never scared to be around them, he even flips and sleeps right in the middle of the living room while my cats roaming around, when he flipped infront on me the first time i almost had a heart attack, i thought he was dying but then I took it upon myself to learn everything I could about bunnies since he owned us so that's where he will be with us forever. Now I can tell what will make Juno happy. He does his air acrobats almost all morning 😃😄Juno, owned us and I am so glad I really saved him. He's tiny tinny baby bunny but has a personality larger than life

Im not planning on getting bunnies till after I finish uni (6 years long!) But i love watching these videos

[summermermaidstar]

Hey I'm looking into one day getting a bunny, watching your videos for info before making the big decision. Loving the videos, and I did notice some similarities between your advice for rabbits and my experience with guinea pigs (in terms of picking them up, I'm much more used to handling guinea pigs). Which I suppose makes sense considering they are both prey animals.
