Hi lennies! I'm listening to some of your feedback and trying fresh content out! hope you enjoy this one!

“They have less white matter than wild bunnies” so basically they traded brain cells for snacks. Fair enough, I’d probably take that deal too

[jasondrummond]

As a science nerd - I found this fascinating. Would be interested in more about the genetics of coat colour and pattern inheritance, and the selection for rabbits of varying sizes.

I’m adopting a rabbit soon and I just wanna say that your channel has helped me learn a lot about rabbits and how to give them a great life. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lennon and you and Lennon have saved so many bunny lives.

An excellent video, thank you for airing a long overdue aspect of our little friends !
Also... please make a definitive video about safe temperatures for buns.
This winter there's sadly been so many tragedies (again) with poor little things freezing due to being kept outside in hutches, especially those alone, those without so much as a single companion to cuddle up to. Just because they're given some hay to lay on doesn't mean they're going to keep warm.
Some owners need to be instructed and to understand that in the wild buns are comfortably deep underground in their burrows, well away from ground level frost, deep in the earth where temperatures are permanently above zero all winter, and remain cool for the little things during the summer months.

I loved this video! Never seen anybody else talk about rabbit history like they have with cats and dogs so this was very interesting!

I'm clad that someone in the past start to see rabbits as pets and not as food. Rabbits deserve all the love and care

As cute as lops are, the way humans have bred them can cause a lot of health problems: they are prone to ear infections, and rabbits with brachycephaly (smoosh faces, e.g., Holland Lops, Netherland Dwarfs) are prone to respiratory issues. Sad how humans have caused these issues, and even sadder that people just dump them when they become too much work!

As a brand new bun mum, your channel has been an absolute godsend to me and so so helpful in learning all about my baby bun. Very informative and well done. Baby Willow is on track to be one happy little dude all thanks to you and of course Cinnabun's mum. Lennon's coat is so shiny and healthy, she's a beauty! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and I hope you continue :)

No one would've put this much effort in researching about the evolution and domestication of rabbits. The efforts paid off because this was such an educational and different kind of video!

[cookiethelynxwashere]

I enjoy how mesmerizing and smart you are! this video taught me so much about bunnies it's so cool that the fact that it took this long for bunnies to become our best friends! I would have never known this without you! Thank you

[lisainTX]

Loved watching this as there were so many interesting facts about rabbits I never knew! Appreciate you caring enough to take the time to post little things like this for all of us. Take care and stay safe.

[jadiw]

I love watching Watership Down it taught me a lot how they act in the wild and how much they go through such a beautiful story 😇

[tanya__saini]

I find u the only youtuber who is actually answering the questions that often come up in head.

[mummylili]

All your videos are so interesting and well made, like a pro. Thank you Lorelei

[sophiasgirls]

I love Lennon and your intros so lively and calming

[briannaborras]

My bunny is most definitely not afraid of loud noises. Whenever I turn on the vacuum I have to pick her up and move her because she will lay there in the area that needs vacuumed and wont move until I nudge her or move her myself.

[meowzerz]

I LOVED this. I've been thinking about looking into their history and genealogies recently and then my fav bunny youtuber posts!

[hannahl]

Love, love, love this video I have been waiting for years for this!

[anneloeswarmelink]

I love how versatile your channel is! There's tips, random facts, relatable bunny stuff and overall cuteness <3
Could you do a video of "Signs you need to take your rabbit to the vet"? I've had experience as a child where we had two rabbits and our parents weren't too familiar with what is normal in rabbits and what isn't. With my rabbits now I know that a runny nose or teary eye is definitely a sign to go to the vet, while my parents probably would've thought "it's probably just a cold, let's see if it's still runny in a week or two" and comparing rabbits to humans or other animals.
