Hallovic: (doing the dougie)

[CuteBunnyThumper]

@yellowlabrador212356 omg i cracked up!

[ICONicBieber1713]

how old do rabbits have to be to be considered adult rabbits?

[Codawinx]

her voice is so calm its annoying

[loughMichael]

i feed my rabbit lucerne pellets and grain pellets and green veggies every day and sometimes commercial food and he has an unlimited supplie of lucerne hay is that good

[Reptiledictionary225]

Do u have to keep a rabbit in a cage? If I got one a pen like thing but no cage.... Is that good? Basically saying that the pen type thing is the cage.

[miss76suger]

@Reptiledictionary225 it should be fine

[MszBunny23]

i fed my bunny carrots and parsley more then pellets and he grew HUGEEEEE O____________O he also eats couches and carpet -__________-

[Arkenarge]

What? i thought you were going to cook pet rabbits for my diet :( lol

[jumboJetPilot]

If your videos start with ads then I'm not going to watch your video. This is a forum for amateur videos, not ads. If I wanted ads I'd go turn on the TV.

[CinCinLei]

People, its leg is not broken!!

It just stretches its foot outwards! xD

[VanDelosSantos]

expert village, can i feed my rabbit a piece of mango? please :)

[icecreamkid100]

@VanDelosSantos yes



[bir90]

i feel so bad for its leg whats wrong with it?

[CinCinLei]

@bir90 I think it likes it when it stretches its leg outwards its body. hehe :P

[GokkyZen]

@dresser100 Please do not feed your rabbit pellets...at least not all the time, they are not good for your rabbit. Its not because timothy hay in pellets are bad its just that we do not know what else they put into the pellet to make it become like a pellet....Its a great relief your rabbit does not like them.

[Hamster4evaandeva]

@GokkyZen exactly what would you do if your fed crackers every day . we all need a change in food so why feed pellets?

[GokkyZen]

Just a very IMPORTANT note, my bunny died of tumor and it refused to eat anything other than food pellets(yes they are timothy hay based) which these supposed experts recommended...I hate to say this as hay is exx but the vet told my family that a rabbit's diet should consists of 80%hay 20%fruits and veges. The food pellets are just like snacks to them. So imagine eating potato chips and french fries every day...that is what you are making your bunny do if you give them pellet all the time.

[xxxSoDeRGuYxxx]

hello Dr i have two questions about my bunnies?

1.i Buy a pair of bunny same species same in color all same and i think thy'r belongs to 1mother in this case the brothers & sister relation occur can they mate??and i have no idea aven the shopkeeper having no idea about there relation.

2.how many times a male rabbit mate to make female pregnant like loins sex marathon so ow much time i allow him to mess with female??

thx regard

soder guy!

[Hamster4evaandeva]

@xxxSoDeRGuYxxx i do volunteer work and i mainly work with small animals and a female rabbit can birth every thirty days the bunnies dont have to even be in the same cage to mate either . I hope this helped !!!!!!1 p.s. Before breeding go to local pet stores or people interesteed in buying rabbits before you breed.

[chunkeymonkey246]

im alergic to alfalfa and i have hay fever soo if they eat that i die if they dont they die.... great reallll great >:(

[chunkeymonkey246]

is it bad to feed them pelets when there young???!!!

[greencandy808]

thanx WAY more helpful than the wikapedia

[Rlnthndr]

Gotta keep rabbits healthy. My dogs hate unhealthy rabbits, They only like fresh ones!

[pirategirl1492]

hmmm i ran out of pellets long ago. my bun gets the hay and fresh veggies, and he likes cereal, like cheerios

[TheChaina97]

can i feed my rabbit any lettuce?

[shasha8227]

@TheChaina97 noooo ! , only romaine, other lettuses have too much water

[jerilyng]

@TheChaina97 all except for iceburg it kills them

[RosesofWillows]

Our rabbits had those kinds of pellets, but be regularly put them in a fenced-in yard with grass and flowers.

[nakedBison69]

have learned through painful, personal experience that there is nothing more important to the well-being of rabbits than what one feeds one's rabbits. And doing everything to encourage their eating a whole lot of of hay should be emphasized in any presentation of proper rabbit care. I had had no idea that my feeding my rabbits too many pellets caused them to not eat enough hay, and this resulted in three of my rabbits so sadly dying. I miss those adorable cuties so very much :-(

[Excercisekid]

is the bunny a full vegatarian??? like is the timothy things pure veg?? i want a pet when i grow up and i am a veg so i want a veg pet

[pirategirl1492]

@Excercisekid no, there is beefstock in most rabbit pellets, they also like raw pork sometimes,,,aside from the veggies. They look all soft and cuddly on the outside, but in the wild they are killers!

[Wolfkutie2942511]

@Excercisekid I have to say yes, they are vegetarians. I never fed my rabbit any meat, and your not supposed to. They are prey animals wich means they get eaten by other animals, not them eating other animals, i hope this helps.

[warriorcats3]

i cant see the screen!!!

[AddieLuver09]

It's eyes are...scarily..large.

[dragonsbornmisfit]

I go with rabbit.orgs diet where the bulk of there diet is hay, fresh greens and vegies, using a small amount of pellets as a suplement for protien and to keep his wieght up. my rabbit seems alot more energitic and playfull than my friends pellet fed bunnies. If you have a rabbit or just like rabbits check out rabbit.org they have a great site with allot of info on the care of both bunnies and adult rabits.Plus a few links to adoption sites.

[amrel2]

my rabbit died :((((((((

[bigboysintown]

I am so sorry to hear that...What type did you have? I have a dwarf and she is sooo sweeeet! She is only 10 weeks old!

[babypanda22e]

@JuggleG don't be a jerk this is just a basics to rabbit diet. any smart person who is even considering buying a rabbit will know that they need greens in their diet. any smart person considering buying a rabbit will also know they are not suppose to have broccoli because it screw with their g.i and causes gas, that can KILL THE RABBIT. they shouldn't be over loaded on fruit because rabbits have a sweet tooth and will refuse anything else. p.s she said they need constant supply of hay

[nakedBison69]

If I had known in time what you said here, three of my rabbits who have died, would still be alive and well. Rabbits dying is the saddest thing in the whole world, because they are so vulnerable, so soft, so gentle, so much at our mercy, so sweet, so adorable, so angelic...

[YourunkownSister]

i have that bowl fo my rabbit

[ThePoshPetz]

you don't have to feed rabbits juts pellets for the main diet. I feed my rabbit a fruit rabbit food, Im not sure if it has pellets in!

[nicolevins]

@ThePoshPetz

Pellets are better for them.. that's why it's supposed to be the main part of the diet.

[ThePoshPetz]

@nicolevins what should i do? my rabbit is a VERY fussy eater and will refuse to eat pellets.

[bunnymermaid77]

@ThePoshPetz mine too just give her lots of hay

[funnybunny602]

i heard from a few places that bananas can make bunny very sick and you shouldn't give them any and bread is another 1 too

[nicolevins]

@funnybunny602

Bananas are good for rabbits- like all fruits, in certain quantities.

I feed my rabbits a small bit of bread a few times a week and they seem to enjoy it. They're both one now...

[TheDashal1]

I don't like how a lot of people say that a rabbit can't eat this or that kind of fruit or vegetable. A wild rabbit will eat anything it wants to and will be fine.

[plottotakethemdown]

that rabbit is a cute little bastard

[kizzization]

lop eared :P

[bobdigi88]

The rabbit at the end of the video looked intence.

[ExpertAnimal]

alfalfa is kinda better becuz timothy hay is very messy but i still like both.

[ExpertAnimal]

yup im getting one, but what do you mean? what color. im getting white and a brown

[dipu94321]

i fed my pet rabbits with spinach,hay,rice,milk and lots of veggies.they did have loose motions many times but that does not count when you enjoy it having food.

[Redluver13]

i feed my rabbit hay fresh from a farm.

[vampscamp]

i have a question,

i just got a holland lop bunny,

and she eats alot of alfalfas and no water, barely touches the pallets, is there a problem or is alfalfa good for young rabbits??

please answer back :)

[glinda669]

once you get a new lil bunny it takes them a bit of time to actually get to the point where they are comfortable and trust their surroundings enough to do some everyday things like drinking from their water bottle. it took my recent lil one about a week before she started drinking out of her bottle. i had to take the bottle and put it to her mouth then put her in her cage put her mouth up to the bottle in her cage till she learned the she could just lick and she would get some water.

[glinda669]

ps alfalfa is only good for the younger bunnies. once they reach about 6months or so they should only have alfalfa as a treat if any at all.

[satansforcetube]

i just got my bunny , his name is edward but he dosent drink much maybe not at all , he dosent like the bottle cap that he has to drink from , whats wrong with him?

[mermaidamp]

@satansforcetube Congrats! My Independent Living coach from ToolWorks in San Francisco,California named Whitney Dobransky got a bunny named Maude. It's a girl!

[NaomiIsSoAwesome98]

i heard that rabbits sometimes eat they're own crap. i'm not sure if thats true

[ntdnr1]

It's not their own crap, it just looks like poop but its a diff version of poop with alot of vitamin in it

[NaomiIsSoAwesome98]

@ntdnr1 ok now i understand (i think?? lol!!) :))

[ntdnr1]

Just google cecotrope my english aint that good so i cant explain it too

[0MadWoman0]

I've heard that too and I don't think it's bad. their urine is the worst because it contains ammonia.

[dombziv]

I love it !!!

I wish there were much more then 10 clips.

tank you

[NaomiIsSoAwesome98]

lol me 2

[mermaidamp]

Hailbut is one cute rabbit. Sarah Tingle is smart.

[happyhoodie]

Pellets suck. No rabbit wants to eat that shit. >:[

[XxBunnytailxX]

O.o What's wrong with Hallovic's leg?

[Hallow4ngel]

i dunno, but it was cute... unless it was painful

[hm123productions]

@XxBunnytailxX *halibut

[smokinstuff1]

how bout just regular rabbit food

[magic4Getii]

some1 help me?i bot a bunny about 5 month ago named Mary(she is now 6 month)& we let her stay in our house but when we let her out of cage,she poos everywhere & eat the wires. so then she had to be put in my backyard. we have a big shed and thats her house.shes not allowed in my house anymore. she is always outside. i bot an expensive rabbit trianing book but IT DIDNT HELP!she cant potty train cuz she doesnt listen 2 me.SHES EVIL!she scratches me eveyrwhere.HELP!how do i potytrain her?

[lollipoplemonade]

Have you spayed her? Also, maybe she's "evil" because you left her outside in a shed where there are predators and not much company. Are you cleaning the shed often and providing her exercise, toys, and bonding sessions with you?

Lots of bunnies are stubborn at potty training but you need to keep at it. Lay down newspaper or bedding [preferably white] and when she poos or pees pick up the piece of bedding or the poop and put it up to her nose then put it in her litter box. :)

[ramiel2000]

You have to BOND with her. Rabbits are know for being slow at bonding but just by being in her presents you are bonding with her more. YOU SHOULD let your rabbit inside and make just a small area for with those wire bars used to keep pets where you want them and make that her house and potty train her there so if you let her out she'll always know where her potty is.

[1SADOG]

:3 i neeed help im 7 help me plz plz

[Seveleniumus]

I was feeding my rabbit only bread + water and he was perfectly fine and lived long life for a bunnie - 10 years. So, yeah, you can give anything vegetative to them and they'll be perfectly fine.

[lollipoplemonade]

Bread and water? Wow, that's amazing! I don't have the guts to try it though, but that's great. Glad he lived long and happy. :)

[Laorta]

I wonder what's wrong with that white rabbit's legs...another leg is in weird position.

[vitoizzy43]

it is a rescued rabbit he got injured

[creamiekrisp]

yup im definitely buying two today...

:3

[katedadancer]

i think my rabbit is getting a bit fat, i might be feeding her a bit too much, when should I feed her once a day or what??

[aebpsin39620]

you should feed arabbit twice a day if its less than 5 months old BUT once a day if its older than that

[lollipoplemonade]

I believe you should provide fresh timothy hay 24 hours a day and timothy hay pellets should be 1/4 cup per pound. Also, if they get too fat ask your vet on how to eliminate the extra fat.

[imaginethereisnogod]

Rabbits evolved on green plants, not pellets, they do well on any members of the grass family, they like the green leaves and the grains. Corn leaves, wild oats, or pesticide free grass in your lawn. They will also eat the grains fresh corn, rolled oats, wheat berries, etc. They also love dandelions, carrot tops and members of the cabbage family cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, turnip leaves, radish leaves, collard greens, etc. Alfalfa is a legume, not a grass.

[XDCaptainAwesomeXD]

@imaginethereisnogod my bunny loves strawberries and apples is that good for them too?

[Saxyshark]

@imaginethereisnogod

Also breads, peas, cooked chicken and beef, fried eggs, sugar cane, various vegetables, potato and banana skins, pork ham, pasta, different fruits, (mine love julie mango skins), they don't like nuts and goat meat though, ....

[imaginethereisnogod]

Raw nuts such as almonds or walnut halves and small pieces of dried fruit such as raisins, or pieces of date, apples, and pineapple can make great training treats. Grass leaves are filling and low calorie so they make a good unlimited anytime feed. Grains, nuts, and fruits should be limited; they have much sugar or fat and can lead to fat bunnies. Alfalfa is a legume; it is questionable that that is the best bulk basis for their diet.

[Crisomlord23]

who Timothy?

[fewguyswin]

I might get a bunny thanks!

[Ladymysth]

just one word: adorable *.*

[darmokandgalad]

What kind of RABBIT is that?

He's adorable

[brianmcgroarty]

White with the sort of "mascara" around the eyes makes it a hotot, I think. And yeah - awesome rabbit. :)

[MollyLovesHerBunnies]

LOL they named the rabbit after a kind of fish HAHA

[animefanH]

L31ks...

....You have serious issues.....

[incocomen]

idiot

[ELMOPRODUCTIONS12]

i have a rabbit it is healthy too he goes outside because i have a rabbit leash for him his name is hopper

[ChristyTheCookie]

My rabbits name used to be hopper....but i changed it to Midori :]

Which means Green in Japanese :]

[ILovePupsAndDoggies]

he looks sooo cute when hes sitting down on her lap at the end!

[CSIS25]

he do but also looks like a chubby rabbit lol

[StuftAnimalLove]

This is actually a pretty good video, kudos to the vet who did it =]

[bakacosplayerz]

you shouldnt give a rabbit wet fruit at all, if your going to give a goodie to your rabbit, give them dry apple or papaya or pine apple or even banana, but it must be dry that you can get from any food store, the dry Pine apple and Papaya is good for breaking up hairballs in there stomach, and you can also feed them some oatmeal or saultless sunflower seeds with out the shell, what they do is make there coat shiney and healthy looking.

[camillelovescandy]

thanks this really helped me.. that s why mine got diherrioh (cant spell) thanks will keep that in mind x

[legoago]

SHE KNOW S WHAT SHES DOING! SHE A VET

[emilybebes]

u know u shouldnt give rabbits letuce it gives them the trots (that means the runs) lol i didnt know that u see i got my rabbit yesturday and the girl that was working in the pet shop said not to give rabbits letuce i was really surprised!!

[ILovePupsAndDoggies]

[majrascal863]

[polzowatel]

lmao

[Sk8ingcookie]

Im Going To Buy A Bunny Tommorow And If Anyone can Tell Me If I Could Keep Feeding It Parsley, Fruit And Whatever Constantly. Do They Need To Eat Pellets?  My Mom Wot Let Me Buy 1 If I Don't Know How To Take Care Of It...Plz Rply...

[TheR4ndomShow]

you should give it rabbit pellet food and a good supply of timothy hay a long with some veggies daily but some veggies can make bunnies sick google what veggies are good for bunnies also keep fruit to a minumum because they r high in sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lollyhunny01]

you should keep a medium sized bowl of pellets or bunny mix in the hutch at all times, along with hay or straw and clean fresh water, my rabbit is alowed to roam free in our large garden all summer and the hutch door is always open, this way my baby can help herself to greens and weeds like dandilion leaves whenever she wants- she's a very fit ol girl ;)

[OutOfTheBottleVideos]

I have two baby rabbits, they don't eat pellets per say... But they do eat pellets made out of grass and carrots and cabbage.... Is this alright for them?

If you don't think so please look at them on my videos they are HQ!

[BUrnOnHapPYgOluCKY]

IS a vegitable considered a treat?

[TheR4ndomShow]

i dont think so becaus they are HERBavores so they eat flowers and veggies all the time

[1946coolio]

f*** you!!!

[cuberfranco]

hey is it ok if my rabbit is eating more bedding than food? i just got it less than an hour ago and its munching on the shredded pine bedding. help me out plz!

[TradGal]

Pine bedding is BAD for bunnies! It's actually not good for most animals... something the pet store doesn't tell you. Instead, line your bunny's cage with newspaper, or grass mats. I buy my grass mats at either World Market, or Pier One Imports (they're usually used to make rugs). They're great, because they work as a chew toy, as well!

[Scarrr]

Pine bedding isn't bad for small animals. It's cedar bedding that's bad for them. I think that news paper would be wrose for them, since it's got ink all over it.

[xXwoodgate4evaXx]

the ink from newspaper is made from vegetable oil, for that reason, the animals don't get sick

[Scarrr]

really? coooool.

[Mousygirl123]

cool

[shane1v]

Safest bedding is aspen. Look at HouseRabbitSociety site or ask a vet that specializes in rabbits. Be sure to find a vet like that.

Also be sure that the rabbit gets as much Timothy hay as it will eat. That hay should be the main portion of their diet, not pellets. When the rabbit is fully grown, give him timothy based pellets, not alfalfa based ones. Feed them right, their digestive systems are fragile.

[Lagorditalinda17]

How's your bunny doing?

[RuthlessWalrus]

How old should a rabbit be before you start giving them fruits?

[raven081726]

i think when they reach 3 months

[shane1v]

I feed my bunnies crushed glass and land mines

[haramikutta]

So just a little piece of fruit?

[megabug1010]

right now my bunny has a bowl of strawberries. should i take it out?

[smbhacker32]

Only give her a slice of strawberry. Too many can make her sick.

[megabug1010]

thanks,right now i just returned from the pet store with good food.btw,how can you tell a rabbits gender?

[RadPoptarts]

my rabbit is only 3 months old. i'm only feeding her hay and pellets at the moment. should i start feeding her small treats like fruits?

[Izilla08]

if my parents let me ill get a bunny for my b day

[ellinka77]

Guess what? I have 9 rabbits! Two are older and the 7 other ones are still young! I LOVE BUNNIES!

[Lagorditalinda17]

My bunny loves yogurt for some odd reason. I mean, he literally goes CRAZY for it when I buy it. I give him a little bit but not too much. He loves the guava flavor most.

[321lilith]

Might be from all the sugar, good thing you don't give her much.

[hellblazer55]

Actually you can feed them fruit, nuts, veggies but all in small amounts as they can get diarrhea from too much, or you can simply go outside and pick clover greens as they love them as a nice treat.

Ive even made all natural rabbit cookie type treats using fruits, honey and flour and never sugar and whole wheat flour is best, and made into small cookies divided in to quarters.

[stiffyzee]

Rose petals too. ;)

[animescene123]

All Rabbits are vegetarians you can only feed them fruits and veggies and maybe alittle wheat bread

[u4umi789]

wt happend to the rabbit leg

[142Sakura142]

oh man too bad my RAbit whent away

[YogShoggotha]

everyone asking about what to feed their bunny go to house rabbit society's website they have a list of fruits and veggies that your bun bun needs and a list of things they should NOT have.

[HBKrules17]

how much fruit should i give him like a piece of fruit each day, week, month?

[ashadowwebdesign]

Sugar occurs naturally in fruit (pectin) and should be given sparingly, if at all, to ANY animal or pet. Sugars aren't good for humans and they are really bad for animals. We are able to get easy access to everything from chocolate to cane sugar and other mammals don't have that kind of access in the wild -- hence their systems aren't used to it. Also chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine which can kill an animal. So, please don't give them chocolate. Great video! =) talktothevet*com

[czeski7]

imo it's something wrong with her rabbit. bunny is quite fat, isn't lively and his legs look strange

[Momo96699669]

whats wrong with the bunnys leg?

[puppydoggeh]

Is Zepreem rabbit food good for them?

[ashadowwebdesign]

I would check with your vet who specializes in rabbits to make sure. Although, I personally think ZuPreem's ferret food is terrible, so I would imagine their bunny food may be just as low quality. Always check ingredients before buying. A quick Google search will generate enough reading material to help you make the best decision for your pet's health. Best wishes! =)

[teenlebean]

i want that rabbit

[halo5549]

realy fruits have natrial sweetness not shuger

so she is rong about that unless i am missunderstanging her

[chickensonaspaceship]

They have natural sugars in them. Foods can have sugar in them without someone adding it.

[LegendarySwords]

She's got where you should keep your rabbit wrong and what they should eat wrong.

Rabbits also need grass as it is a natural part of their diet and vegetables.

The RSPCA website gives some far more reliable information.

[chickensonaspaceship]

Never heard of rabbits needing grass, but it's definitely healthier for them to have greens. It's not necessary though.

[roxygirltiffany]

carrots are fine:]

[MysteryBoxz]

i loveeee my rabbit they are great pets apart from they poop a insane amount

[dontworryaboutmyuser]

true they poop alot myn does and the 1's i had in the past like i clean the cage then what happends gets dirty again then i clean lol its annoying but its worth it 2 have my little cute bunny clean

[LegendarySwords]

What about vegetables like carrots and cabbage?

Does anyone here know what vegetables rabbits should eat?

[asiaticgenius2]

please... fruits have a low glycine index

[BunniesRock11]

WHATS WRONG WITH THE BUNNY'S LEG

[dramannie]

hmm I have read that veggies are very important for rabbits, wonder why she didnt mention

 it?

[lclagu]

Pls! post a video of how to clean a rabbit genital scent gland.

[NicoleClarkMorgan]

Rabbits should also eat appropriate veggies: 1 cup per 3 pounds body weight daily.

[fisherboy911]

i used to give my rabbit hay and vegtables before it ran away

[princessmarthajandio]

I am sorry about it running away.

Do you miss your rabbit?

[Thermactor]

cute bunny
