@Bellatrix1Lestrange1 2, Get a 3ds for a thing that costs money, becase on creg's list you can find rabbits for little to nothing that need homes, and might be killed other wise.
Really becuase my lil sisters are 3 and 6 and they treat our bunny very well even the bunny loves my sisters. Oh and bunnies are not just abanded on Easter they could be abanded on any date by careless people
My 4 cousins get a rabbit each for easter and it was just 2 months ago and I though they are so spoiled and they don't care for their pets very well and I'm sure thoughs poor rabbits are dead by now :(
@BTZlikesyourmum dwarf hotot rabbits, which is the breed of the rabbit in this video, do enjoy being held properly. She is speaking about rabbits in general.
A stuffed rabbit? This bitch needs to shut the fuck up. Just because they are kids does NOT mean they are incapable of caring for a rabbit. IF your child is a stupid fuck and breaks everything then I think the Parents would fucking know its a bad idea.
@TechIsAmazing Many parents think of their children as being more capable than they actually are. I've known parents that get their children pets, thinking it'll be fine, only for the animal to get killed through rough handling or neglect. Often, even the parents don't bother to adequately research rabbit care (or care of any other animal, for that matter) and don't realize what they're getting into. Some kids are mature enough to care for rabbits, yes, but there are many others that are not.
@TechIsAmazing No TechisAmazing is absolutely right. My guess, 95+ out of 100 don't know. Same thing with the adults. They don't want to deal with it so they tell their kids they have to take care of it properly, but don't elaborate or get a book and read up about rabbits, much less go over it with the kid. It's not the kids responsibility, it's the parents responsibility to make sure the kid is indeed caring for the rabbit properly. Every thing eats, pees, poops. Read up, few bother to do that
@BTZlikesyourmum She also has a video where she explains how to pick up your rabbit. Kids do not know that and 80% parents today do not care what their kids are doing so they don't even bother to explain animals are not made of wood. :) I like these videos and looks like this bunny was given away for Easter and now this lady is taking care of him and his little paw :(!
ok we are a few weeks away from easter and i'm going to get 2 rabbits for easter!! the thing is that i had 7 rabbits a few months ago but they all diseppeared :( so i already have the cage and everything!! I AM PREPARED!! :) and i will definitely NOT abandon them!!
You would be shocked by the amount of rabbits bred because of the spike in people looking for them around Easter, and even MORE shocked at how many people just let them loose. It's really sad and an awful thing to teach a child. A pet should be part of the family, not an accessory for a holiday... :c
What if someone legit wanted a rabbit? Wtf. The date should have nothing to do with if you are going to take care of it or not. It is just a date..Not a sign of how well the person will take care of it
this is kinda a dumb video, saying NEVER EVER BUY BUNNIES FOR EASTER. well, i got my two bunnies around easter last year. and i still have them. i could see if some stupid person bought them for a very young child, but then again, a very young child shouldnt get any pet that the parents aren't gonna want to take care of themselves. -_-
@KrisKrossx3 It sounds dumb because you are a responsible rabbit owner. But for every one story like yours, there are ten bunnies who either get turned loose in the wild or dropped off at a rescue because the child they bought it for got tired of it.
What the hell, i got my bunnies for easter, are you saying my mum is stupid? How dare you, rabbits are the best easter presents in the world and i got my two bunnies for easter and heck i love them, and will do forever! Rabbits can be easter presents for older kids who want them for companionship and if they do there reserch which i did. So don't go judging everyone with an easter rabbit on one story!
My rabbit used to not mind being held but you just have to hold them often enough to where they get used to it. My bunny Tiger would rush up to the cage door and onto my lap when I visited him. Though he stays in his cage more since he started niping at my dad T_T Boys just don't know how to get along.
I had a rabbit when I was a kid. Used to cart it around in a play baby buggy, and it loved it. Then it had babies, went mad, and got eaten by my dog (we kept it in the closet in my room and somehow she got in there and did what animals do).
Luckily, I was with my dad when that happened. XD
It doesn't matter what time of the year a bunny is purchased, but what hands it goes to; what person . Rabbits can be abandoned any time of the year because of irresponsible people. It's not JUST Easter. I got my bunny before xmas, because I was planning it long ago. I still have her now, she's healthy and active, and I would never, ever think about leaving her or giving to someone else.
Seriously people just think about the context, she mostly said about kids picking up rabbits, because they tend to hold them wrong and most of the people would.And yes, not everybody is like that, but still most of them are.Just because your daughter or friend takes good care of it doesn't errase the fact that most of the people just abandom them an that's what she's trying to explain. Obviously rabbit would be okay with handling, if it's handled right and trusts you.
@BTZlikesyourmum She probably means the wrong way, because kids like my brother can be really brutal with animals, kick them when he gets frustrated and handle too rough.
Lol, she gives this whole lecture on why rabbits are uncomfortable being held and picked up and stuff, *switches to next clip* Girl holds rabbit. LMFAO!
My daughter got a bunny for Easter when she was two. Now she is five and guess what, we still have the bunny and she is very much loved!! Bunnies make great Easter presents for RESPONSIBLE people :)
And also, Rabbits don't like to be picked up?? first of all, lady, you're not even holding it right! second of all, it's not the most calming thing, but yes i can hold my rabbit in my arms whenever I like
I got my rabbit as a 17th birthday present from my friends but as I'm an animal lover I've looked after him well since and will continue doing so for the rest of his life. He's a very happy little bunny and although I'd never had a rabbit before and it was a steep learning curve, I did lots of research and he's the best pet I've ever had!
i had my rabbit for my 9th birthday and i am now 14 my rabbit is licking my arm as i am writing this and i am in my bed :D he sleeps ther every night this is why i wanted a rabbit since i was 4 :L
UMMM Just an interesting thought here. First I am in agreement with this video. However I think its fummy that she is worried about a rabbit being sent out in the wilderness because THAT'S WHERE THEY COME FROM. If they were to be eaten by a predator than how is that different to what happens to millions of wild rabbits every year?
@qmeche123 u know u do understand that pet rabbits lived most of there lives being fed by humans and treated like pets....they weren't taught by mother rabbit to do anything much then poop, eat, sleep and bite wires
@qmeche123 like 1000 years ago your ancestors were living in the wild, so why don't we just dump you on the curb because THATS WHERE YOU CAME FROM. nice thought huh?
@garryo5 Ummm I can get home dumbass. Also animals are never truly domesticated they can always be returned to the wild without much harm being done to them. On the other hand if I were to dump you in let's say the desert then you would die because that is not your natural habitat.
@1245678987 If you watch all of the Expert Village videos with this particular woman talking about rabbits, you'll notice that they use the same rabbit in all of the rabbit care videos, I don't think they chose this rabbit to enhance the message, it just happens to have a broken leg. It is an animal hospital after all.
@WakaoujiSensei I believe it is called splayed leg. Sometimes it's born like that, but mostly it is due to poor health, food, care, injury, abuse and unforturnately it is not fixable
@WakaoujiSensei It looks like either a leg-injury that didn't heal well (rabbits have very light bone structures) or a nerve-issue which luckily only struck on leg. Both can be result of a drop or uncareful handling and such. Luckily Calvin seems to be ok with it.
Wow! I'm very surprised I'm getting replies to a comment I made over a year ago!
Our most recent rabbit was one being re-homed. Unsurprisingly, he was an unwanted child's pet. I can't believe any one would not want George, he is lovely!
Thanks for (mostly) the support. I am not saying every single child will neglect their pet rabbit, but it is very much more likely when that rabbit is an Easter present.
@3333sweetie nope if u have them in the house and toilet train them and make sure u rabbit proof the house 9 no wire s stuff like that) then they r awsome
i has a bunny but because ive lived with 1 as a pet since i was a baby, so thats y i have 1 not for easter, but just cause im familiar with rabbit care and wante one SO badley
I got a rabbit for easter and take good care of her :) i take her out, play with her, feed her, yada yada, but it's just sad to see other rabbits being not cared for :( it's just so sad.
When my future kids are older/grown up,they can play with my bunny rabbits. They're NOT allowed in houses, apartments or anywhere you keep pet rabbits where you have small children.
@jessmjfan989 because like she said usually when people get it for easter they get it for the wrong reason..... for instance parents getting there kids one as a present. im 13 im probly gonna get 2, the reason is so that i can learn to take care of a living breathing animal...... yes i am responsible
@allenronis: yes i know, i mean im resposible too, i would NEVER abandon any animal, but what i mean't was that many people dont give a damn about their pets and they can abandon it, whether its easter or not...i think they shouldn't get any animals if they are not whilling to take care of them properly.
Jesus people, does the rabbit look liked its in pain? Do you maybe think its leg might have gotten that way from previous owners and its just the way it is now? She obviously works in some sort of clinic, it was probably rescued and lives there now.
my rabbit generally feels comfortable being picked up because she was picked up a lot by her breeder, but even then she loves the ground a lot more. everything she says is right. NEVER purchase a rabbit for a gift.
i got a mini lop rabbit for easter but i had to wait til may to get him because there is a disease that goes around during easter, which is kinda weird, but i have taken care of my Gizmo everyday since i have had him and i love him soo much! im 13 btw! i turned 13 in may too! Gizmo is about 6 months old and my local pet store told me thast its bad to feed rabbits any veggies during that age. does anyone kno anything about that? lol ok byeeee
@xDinoBridesx it's not going to kill her or aanything but she should only have very small amounts. you can gradually increase the amount as she gets older.
how long does it take in a rabbits gestation because my bunny kept getting to the male bunny and they were mating, and he died a few weeks ago and she looks and feels big!
ummm ,OK, but my rabbit LOVES to be picked up and stroked. He is also a very social rabbit. If anyone wants to buy a rabbit I have two tips: One: Get a rabbit ONLY if you are good with animals. Two: Take your time and get one that is social and smart. NOT the one with the cutest nose!!!
poor bunnies im crying now there's one guy on youtube that has a snake and throws little bunnies in there and a snake eats them please if you find him on youtube report him for animal cruelty =´(
omg you are WRONG! My mother got me a rabbit for easter in 2008 and we gave it the best care anyone could ever give it! But in 2009,it had a heat stroke,and...passed away :"( BUT YOU ARE WRONG
Rabbits require a lot of care and attention and I try to give my bunnies as much as possible and would give more if I didn't have to study for exams. Fortunately they live together and love each other to bits so I can just put them in the run in the garden (would let them run free but thats would mean shooting foxes, lol) while I'm studying.
Yes, rabbits are not suitable for children as they required lots of care and commitment. A lot of people abandon them after few months. I owned 2 rabbits myself and I have to admit they required special care and it's lot of work cleaning thier cage (i clean out the litter every 2 days). Furthermore, children might not know how to handle the rabbits properly, for them loving pets is cuddling up with it, but rabbits in general get stress out when it's being picked up.
@FanofKatie ive had 3 rabbits in my lifetime fuzzy, snowflake and i still have thumper i love bunnies! and my parents and i take care of her the best but i didnt get her for easter i was sad that a fox got to snowflake
@so101isfun i love buns too :] my Myrtille (blueberry) and Reglisse (Licorice) are my little darlings!! they live in a big cage in the study room as i spend most of my time there so they have company. every morning and evening they get to come out and run around the living room. I enjoy going to the nature to get some fresh grass for them :)
@FanofKatie aw they sound like they are little darlings my bunny loves fresh grass and dandelions she loves timothy hay too and we like to give her a piece of apple sometimes too
@so101isfun yes they go crazy for dandelions but my vet told me that its very high in calcium so nw i give them some mint, coriander, annette and fresh hays we dried ourself they are crazy about fresh herbs
@nicolevins Hello, my vet was referring to the fresh one as we go gather them in the nature, i dont know about dried one..I suppose they do no harm if its not in huge quantity
I have a bunny :3 His name is Theo,and he's bad :) He's so cute and we love him so much :D I have some videos of him on YouTube! Just look up Theo the Bunny,he's the white one with his ears down. You won't be disapointed(:
If you want a bunny, considering adopting from a shelter! The shelter I volunteer at has 80 rabbits! It gets really sad when more and more rabbits are coming in but we just can't take all of them.
If you're gonna get a bunny for easter, you better take care of it. My dad wanted to release the pet bunnies. He decided not to, as he spent about $150 on food and shelter. The bunnies were free at least. Didn't have to pay a cent.
Oh and also, while this video may be lacking in indepth discussion of rabbit care and data on rabbits given as pets for Easter and then surrendered... it is correct, in GENERAL. Some of the commenters have mentioned that they got rabbits at a young age and their rabbits are still fine.. that is GREAT - we need more people like you who respect animals. However, unfortunately, that is still not the norm, which is why rabbit advocates are strongly opposed to rabbits (or any pet!) as gifts.
For everyone asking about the bunny's leg: most likely his leg was broken in the past and it did not heal properly, which is why it sticks out at that angle. He looks like he gets around fine though. This is actually a fairly common issue with shelter buns - rabbits have VERY delicate bones. If their previous owners didn't bother to get proper vet care for their bunnies, by the time the shelter gets the bunny, there's nothing that can be done for the leg.
My dog once killed a rabbit, it only ate the eyes and genitals. On another occasion i found a litter of bunnies when i was mowing my lawn. So I ran over them all but one. Then i played with that one lil bunny for about an hour then left it because i knew the mother bunny would come back and finish my work for me. . . it would slaughter the baby bunny for now it smells like a human.
it's not just about age, you should teach the 11 year old how to handle pets like this, for example not to chase them, not to make stunts for fun and so on...
i used to have a pet kid when i was small only lik 3-4.. i used to dress it up and i rode on it most of the time.. then my mom yelled at me and told me that i will get a disease if i touch it too much *mothers* then i stopped touching it..and the kid got fat so i took off its clothes..then finally after 2 yers it got sick and died..=[ i miss it now!!!!wahhhh...i want a bunny now tooo
Well if i cant have one for easter in gettin one for my birthday!!! :P

@WakaoujiSensei I believe it is called splayed leg. Sometimes it's born like that, but mostly it is due to poor health, food, care, injury, abuse and unforturnately it is not fixable
theart1rm 9 months ago
@WakaoujiSensei It looks like either a leg-injury that didn't heal well (rabbits have very light bone structures) or a nerve-issue which luckily only struck on leg. Both can be result of a drop or uncareful handling and such. Luckily Calvin seems to be ok with it.

@WakaoujiSensei It was probably injured through neglect or birth defect and is paralyzed.

Wow! I'm very surprised I'm getting replies to a comment I made over a year ago!
Our most recent rabbit was one being re-homed. Unsurprisingly, he was an unwanted child's pet. I can't believe any one would not want George, he is lovely!
Thanks for (mostly) the support. I am not saying every single child will neglect their pet rabbit, but it is very much more likely when that rabbit is an Easter present.

You can actually buy a rabbit for every easter, no problem.
Just make sure it's cooked right. :D
Otherwise, consider what it is to live with one.

@jessmjfan989 because like she said usually when people get it for easter they get it for the wrong reason..... for instance parents getting there kids one as a present. im 13 im probly gonna get 2, the reason is so that i can learn to take care of a living breathing animal...... yes i am responsible

@allenronis: yes i know, i mean im resposible too, i would NEVER abandon any animal, but what i mean't was that many people dont give a damn about their pets and they can abandon it, whether its easter or not...i think they shouldn't get any animals if they are not whilling to take care of them properly.

Jesus people, does the rabbit look liked its in pain? Do you maybe think its leg might have gotten that way from previous owners and its just the way it is now? She obviously works in some sort of clinic, it was probably rescued and lives there now.

I think parents MAYBE should buy a bunny for easter present but the parents have to care fot the rabbit too and want a rabbit in the house.
But what is wrong with the rabbit's leg?

I agree.
Rabbits require a lot of care and attention and I try to give my bunnies as much as possible and would give more if I didn't have to study for exams. Fortunately they live together and love each other to bits so I can just put them in the run in the garden (would let them run free but thats would mean shooting foxes, lol) while I'm studying.

936justme 1 year ago
Yes, rabbits are not suitable for children as they required lots of care and commitment. A lot of people abandon them after few months. I owned 2 rabbits myself and I have to admit they required special care and it's lot of work cleaning thier cage (i clean out the litter every 2 days). Furthermore, children might not know how to handle the rabbits properly, for them loving pets is cuddling up with it, but rabbits in general get stress out when it's being picked up.

If you want a bunny, considering adopting from a shelter! The shelter I volunteer at has 80 rabbits! It gets really sad when more and more rabbits are coming in but we just can't take all of them.

If you're gonna get a bunny for easter, you better take care of it. My dad wanted to release the pet bunnies. He decided not to, as he spent about $150 on food and shelter. The bunnies were free at least. Didn't have to pay a cent.

PeeWeeChic1 1 year ago
Oh and also, while this video may be lacking in indepth discussion of rabbit care and data on rabbits given as pets for Easter and then surrendered... it is correct, in GENERAL. Some of the commenters have mentioned that they got rabbits at a young age and their rabbits are still fine.. that is GREAT - we need more people like you who respect animals. However, unfortunately, that is still not the norm, which is why rabbit advocates are strongly opposed to rabbits (or any pet!) as gifts.
LeroyTheBunny 2 years ago
For everyone asking about the bunny's leg: most likely his leg was broken in the past and it did not heal properly, which is why it sticks out at that angle. He looks like he gets around fine though. This is actually a fairly common issue with shelter buns - rabbits have VERY delicate bones. If their previous owners didn't bother to get proper vet care for their bunnies, by the time the shelter gets the bunny, there's nothing that can be done for the leg.

My dog once killed a rabbit, it only ate the eyes and genitals. On another occasion i found a litter of bunnies when i was mowing my lawn. So I ran over them all but one. Then i played with that one lil bunny for about an hour then left it because i knew the mother bunny would come back and finish my work for me. . . it would slaughter the baby bunny for now it smells like a human.
