One thing I would love to clarify is that social interaction can come from you OR another bunny. Bunnies are social creatures, so if you’re free roaming a single bunny, it’s important to give them the attention they need. Do this by free roaming them in the rooms where you spend the most time. However, if you are free roaming multiple bunnies, having a separate bunny room can definitely check both boxes: your bunny is receiving social interaction and your bunny has space to run and play. Hope this helps!

I had 3 rabbits that free roamed. They used a litter box and never chewed anything besides their toys! I love this!!

We just decided to get a pet cam! More to see all the fun they seem to be having at night, but also to monitor them when we’re out of the house. Free roam is the way to go, if you can of course! 🤎🖤

Your tips and ideas are great, as always, Morgan! I just wanted to reinforce, for anyone who is feeling guilty or discouraged because they can't accommodate a 100% free roam scenario: Every situation is different and every bunny is different, and there are legit reasons why you may not be able to give your bun 24/7 access to your entire home. The good news is that there are a variety of ways to give bunnies plenty of space and attention. The point is not HOW you provide those things but just that you DO. It's okay if your way isn't exactly the same as someone else's.

We recently got our baby bunny, we let her free roam. She loves it, and she trust us immediately. She does have a cage, where she can eat, drink, and potty. But we always leave it open. I love free roaming!

My bun is freeroamed during the day to a whole big floor but then at night she sleeps in my room with me because we have a dog so this works best for us :)

Im hoping to free range my bunny Duchess once she's litter trained. Can't wait!

I know that video is old but I just got my bunny yesterday! Atm she's at her cage but it's very large kinda like an exercise pen. I'm going to bunny proof my room tomorrow after school and she's going to be completely free roamd. I'm also trying to bond with her without pushing her too much and so far she's doing great.

I did the same thing with the litter box. He was trained in only one day. He’s so smart

[thebunnygirl]

What a cute bunny! Love the bunny graphics! They are so cute!

You can also cut a lemon in half and rub it on the edges of your wood furniture or other surface areas. It is a natural deterrent. You may have to repeat every once in awhile.

My sister adopted our bunny coco but for more than a year now she hasn’t been taking care of him. I felt bad so I started taking over and trying to learn how to take care of a bunny. I’ve recently been focusing on his food and cleaning his area but for months now he hasn’t left it. We’ve changed a lot of stuff in our house and moving furniture so that might’ve stressed him out but I’m not sure. We also have a small dog that my other sister co-parents with her bf and I thought that might have also stressed him (but he seems calm when approached by the dog). Not sure what to do and I’m worried it’s about the attention he’s getting. I try to spend time with him but I have a busy schedule and am not always home :( and he hasn’t been to the vet this year bc of covid and my sister being very “cheap” about it. I’d take him but again I have a busy schedule and have no idea who where and how to bring him to the vet. Not sure if my sister would like it either because technically it is her bunny

I love this! My bunny was a rehomed bunny and came in a cage. I let it be for a little bit but once I saw him kicking about and trying to run and hop I threw the cage out and my room because his room. It was so sad to think this animal (had a human not had him) would naturally have nothing but land as far as it could see to run and do whatever he wanted. Never put him in a cage or enclosure since. I love my little baby 🤗

For baseboards I used ivory soap and it worked for me!! Also, you can’t see it so that’s a plus.


I personally have a 4x4 XPen for whenever I can’t supervise my bunny. I’m basically in “her room” all day when I’m home tho so she can be out most days all day. It has a big couch she loves to hop on with me and a tv so I don’t get bored or anything. It’s a very large room (it’s basically an extra living room but it has a whole floor). That’s what works for us and I also like that having her in the XPen at night makes it exciting every time she get to free roam in the room.
