[ebaNelvaNme]

[ebaNelvaNme]

my bunny died today... It's name is Bo Bo...

It's just sad I can never see him again, but i was so glad to have met him and to have found out what a fabulous bunny he was. He is still loved, and will be in bunny heaven. ^^ ILOVEYOU BOBO U WERE THE BEST

[itcamefromthefuture]

Are they tender at that age or are all the little bones just too much trouble?

[RaggyHeaven]

@narinda She definitely is, we love her to bits - thanks for commenting :)

[RaggyHeaven]

@ADGDAREN I reckon! It's amazing what people "dislike" - even some of the cutest videos.

[RaggyHeaven]

@ADGDAREN So true :) You should see those feet now! Pistachio is now a year old and she's quadrupled in size - as have those feet of hers! Truly a mammoth rabbit :)

[littlebigkicker]

Uh as far as I know rodents don't need vaccintaions I have a 14 week old english blue angora she so cute

[RaggyHeaven]

@littlebigkicker Hiya, rabbits do need vaccinations if they are outdoors and exposed to other animals. In our case our girls are both indoor rabbits and they have an outdoor pen that is closed off from the wild bunnies in our area. Otherwise, the wild rabbits can spread disease. We have a vet for a neighbour & asked her this before we got our rabbits.

[B3TH1able]

That 1 dislike must be a bunny who doesnt get cuddles like this...

[RaggyHeaven]

@B3TH1able Lol, love it! Thanks for commenting :)

[kallie8111]

HOW CAN 1 PERSON DISLIKE THIS!!!???

[RaggyHeaven]

@kallie8111 Hiya :) I think it's people who may think I'm being cruel and who don't understand that bunnies need time to adjust to having cuddles for the first time or don't know how much experience we have with rabbits or how well we care for all our animals (we had a rescue shelter at one stage for a variety of animals and still foster rescue dogs today). Or people who just don't like rabbits or people that are jealous....People who are strange too I guess. LOL, lots of reasons unfortunately.

[beeswax79]

@kallie8111 they're either jealous that they're not that fluffy or they missed the like button

[RebeckaMichelle]

PLEASE ANSWER- I am receiving a 6 week old lop baby, i know the proper age should be 8 weeks, but since i will be receiving it that young could you please give me any information to care for the baby without her dying on me?

[RaggyHeaven]

@RebeckaMichelle Hiya, thanks for your comment. The best thing you can do would be to set up an indoor "hutch" and keep your bunny indoors for at least a month (this will help you bond with your bunny and will allow you to carefully monitor it's growth, food intake etc). What you can do is buy a large dog pen with a floor. That's what we did with our bunny girls (you can see it in my video "What happens when Ragdoll cats meet baby bunnies?"). All you have to do is make sure she has plenty of

[RaggyHeaven]

@RebeckaMichelle continued: water, hay and rabbit pellets. It's important that you buy proper rabbit pellets, not the cheap, nasty stuff from the super market that has corn etc in it. Every now and then you can also give you bunny small amounts of apple or carrot - not too much, as it's a bit like chocolate and NEVER feed your rabbit lettuce, it gives them diahorrea and can kill them. Also, if you want to feed your rabbit anything else, please research if it is safe before you do. Other than

[RaggyHeaven]

@RebeckaMichelle continued: that, keep your rabbit's hutch clean and make sure your rabbit has wood chunks (buy these from your local pet store DONT feed your rabbit wood from outside that's been around pesticides etc or wood that has been treated. If in doubt, buy from the pet store). Bunnies love to chew on wood, it's great for their teeth and entertainment. They also love throwing the wood chunks about. Other bunny toys to keep it entertained are a good idea too. For outdoor hutches make

[RaggyHeaven]

@RebeckaMichelle continued: sure you don't get a hutch that has a metal base as these hutches have been prooven to hurt your bunnies paws. Also, keep the bunny away from outdoor animals and wild rabbits, as they carry diseases and can scare your bunny. At about 12 weeks of age, take the bunny to the vet for any vaccinations etc Other than that, your bunny should be fine - most breeders start weaning the larger lop bunnies at about 6 weeks of age. It's the smaller, slower to develop buns that

[RaggyHeaven]

@RebeckaMichelle coninued: need more time to grow and develop. If you have any concerns at all, see your vet or simply leave the bunny with it's mother until it's 8 weeks old or well developed. The timeframes for when buns should leave their mums is truly dependent on the individual bunny. Good luck :)

[Otterley07]

awwww look at her great big bunny feet :3

[RaggyHeaven]

@Otterley07 Hiya, they're pretty amazing huh! She's grown into such a BIG bunny now - those feet were a sign LOL!

[dbserious1]

At that age, they try so hard to get up that they have to take a break half way up! I love it!!!

[RaggyHeaven]

@dbserious1 So true :) Thanks for commenting!

[QueenSemiramis]

There is no reason for anything to be that cute

[RaggyHeaven]

@QueenSemiramis Awww, thank you.  Take a look at my other videos to see her sister Indiana, she's a super cute cutie that one :)

[LunaMane]

@QueenSemiramis Yes there is. The reason being simple; It is how life should be.

[P4r4k]

stay still

they can smell fear

[tazira1]

When my bunny first cuddled with me.... he peed on my lap then hopped away =/

[RaggyHeaven]

@tazira1 Awwwwww, if you're very gentle with him, give him a couple of treats and let him "sniff you out" and move about a bit on your lap, he'll get used to you :)

[tazira1]

@RaggyHeaven I don't have him anymore. =(

Had to give hime to a farm, he was too much.

But I can still see him now and then =p

(he liked to throw hay at me =/)

[landobeans]

He looks like mine expect mine is blue :)

I have a question: He loves to be cuddled and pet on my lap. He starts scratching and squirming after about 10 seconds when i pick him up. How do I make him like to be picked up?? thanks

[RaggyHeaven]

@landobeans Hiya, unfortunately rabbits really HATE being picked up. They get very nervous about being up in the air. The only thing you can do is either you sit by his cage, open it up and let him come to you (if you have an indoor hutch?) or make him feel more at ease by ensuring he can't see the ground when you pick him up and sit down with him as soon as you can (don't walk around with him, it scares them being up so high). Throw in a couple of treats every now & then too. Good luck!

[TheCello091]

OH MY GOSH! SO CUTE! I HAVE A HOLLAND LOP, NOT A MINI LOP THOUGH...

[RaggyHeaven]

@TheCello091 Have a look at my other bunny video - Pistachio's sister Indiana is SUCH a cutie :) Her first cuddle and she was happy to sit back, relax and groom herself. It's gorgeous :) Took a little while longer to help Pistachio feel that comfortable, but she is the same now :)

[itsFishleyy]

It looks just like my bunny Peter when he was a baby! <3

[RaggyHeaven]

@itsFishleyy Awwww, cute! Be sure to take a look at my other rabbit Indiana, getting her first cuddle - it is the sweetest thing ever :)

[popaleechee]

Plus, these rabbits sale for around $40-$100 :l I've had two already lol Super super cute with their obliviousness and long "brain farts/mental absencess" lol :3

[RaggyHeaven]

@popaleechee in check, toys & room to play to keep them active and stimulated, nails clipped every couple of months, hair brushed to prevent knots every so often (depends on the breed) & plenty of gentle human contact to maintain their bond with their owner. Raised with love & care, we've found our girls to be very intelligent & super friendly. Both are very big rabbits now and adore cuddles and head rubs.

[popaleechee]

What do most owners do with their or their child's lop-eared rabbit once it gets older? When it gets bigger, heavier, longer/sharper nails, shedding hair? I imagine 20-60% of buyers would sale their bunny once it gets older o.o

[RaggyHeaven]

@popaleechee In our household, we always adopt with care. An animal in our home, stays with us for life. People who adopt, keep the animal for a few months whilst it's at it's "cutest" and then "throw it away" when it grows, sicken me to be quite honest. I also believe it is wrong to adopt an animal "for a child" if that child is not old enough to appreciate the needs of a living creature & ensure those needs are met. Rabbits need care - constant food supply to keep their teeth

[myheatwillkill]

@RaggyHeaven "Throwing away" animals when they aren't "cute" anymore is sickening indeed. I had 3 bunnies and 5 hamsters, and I loved them even more when they grew up because I got used to them and they were my home buddies :D. Sadly though, we HAD to give away my bunnies because my mom has hygiene issues, and the guy we gave them to let them roam free in his yard until one time something came and killed them :( anyway, that was years ago and I might get new bunnies or even chinchillas :D

[sweetdreampoison]

@popaleechee Mini lops generally weigh between 3 and 6 pounds and never grow very big (if your american and what you call the mini lop is different from what we do here in the UK what you call the Holland Lop we call the Mini Lop and what you call the Mini Lop we call the US Lop I think) their nails trimmed every few weeks to every month or so they wont be that sharp and if you brush their hair regularly it minimizes hair shedding

[TheAlly99]

rabbits are meant to be away from their mother at minimum 8 weeks

[RaggyHeaven]

@TheAlly99 It actually depends on the breed of rabbit and the individual kits' growth & development. As the kits start eating solid food between the 11th and the 14th day, they continue to grow and may be weaned as early as 4 weeks after birth. But it is best to keep them with their mother until they are 6-8 weeks old dependent on their breed and individual development. Young bucks if left with their mother too long will reproduce with her & this is hard on the mother. Also, if the number of

[TheAlly99]

@RaggyHeaven ok kewl

[RaggyHeaven]

@TheAlly99 kits is too much for the mother to handle, it is common to wean those that have developed at a faster rate first and leave the runts to develop further. This helps reduce the demand and amount of pain on the doe and allows the doe's teets time to acclimate to not having to nurse, also causing less pain. When the kits are about 4 weeks old, the doe's milk begins to dry up, so it is natural progression & perfectly fine to wean the larger kits at 6 weeks. Some breeds take longer than

[RaggyHeaven]

@TheAlly99 others, especially the larger breeds e.g. German Angoras and Mini Rex, who can sometimes need an extra week to ensure their health. Our girls developed quickly and thrived very well before weaning and are now very large girls for their breed. They're now almost one year old and are perfectly happy, healthy, friendly and well cared for, with plenty of mental and physical toys for their continued stimulation.

[AnimalCookies105]

My bunny hates being on her back or in that position. Do you have any tips so I can carry her like that?

[RaggyHeaven]

@AnimalCookies105 Hiya, this was our little girls first ever cuddle outside of her pen. So she is a little unsure of things and having a real good sniff of all the "new stuff" around her. With regular gentle handling, we've since got her hooked on chin rubs and when we hold her now, she sits right back and falls asleep as we rub her chin. Her sister is the same. We started off by having them both as indoor rabbits, with an open top pen attached to an indoor rabbit hutch. That allowed them to get

[RaggyHeaven]

@AnimalCookies105 used to us, our sounds, smells etc. It also meant we could gently pat them on their heads (they love gentle scratches on the bridge between their eyes), whenever we walked past the cage. It also meant they could see us preparing them food and would associate us with their special treats - the odd carrot, odd apple and of course plenty of hay and pellets. As they got used to us, they started rearing up like meerkats, waiting for petting. Then when we took them out of their pen

[RaggyHeaven]

@AnimalCookies105 we'd give them small treats - the odd apple/carrot (be careful too much can make them sick, just like us with chocolate). And we just took it slowly from there. I think developing the bond with them as indoor rabbits & always being around humans from a young age helped them relax. Especially when they became hooked on being scratched and having treats. But every rabbit is unique, some feel too vulnerable on the backs with their bellies exposed. Good luck with yours :)

[AnimalCookies105]

@RaggyHeaven Thanks for the tips! I tried this the minute I read it and it totally worked. I know it sounds untrue, but it really worked. By the way, your bunny is so freakin' cute! What's her name?

(Mine is Oreo. She's black and white. ^.^)

[RaggyHeaven]

@AnimalCookies105 Wow, that was fast :) Lol, must be something about food - we called our dark brown coloured girl Pistachio (after Pistachio nuts, because of her brown colour). But she's now called Pio (Pie-oh) for short. And our other girl (the white and brown) is Indy but full name is Indiana 500 aka. Indy 500 / Indianapolis, as she runs some serious laps around the house :)

[AnimalCookies105]

@RaggyHeaven My rabbit was hungry cause I didn't feed her an hour ago. (LOL.) So I took out some rabbit pellets and I tried to carry her in that position and tried to feed her at the same time. It was such a surprise when she actaully stayed still! Then, I put her back in her cage then tried it again without the pellets. It worked! Pio and Indy is the cutest bunnies I've ever saw. I bet they're cuter than my bunny! :D

[AnimalCookies105]

@RaggyHeaven I have one more question. I hope I'm not bothering you, though. Do the females have to have sex with a male in order to reproduce bunnies?

[RaggyHeaven]

@AnimalCookies105 Hiya, sorry didn't see this comment til today :) Yes, with the exception of some reptiles and insects, all species need to mate with the opposite sex in order to reproduce.

[MrJgnelso]

aww

[RaggyHeaven]

@MrJgnelso Thank you :) Her feet were huge as a baby & she's such a big girl now!! :)

[MrJgnelso]

@RaggyHeaven Man i wish i had a bunny there little cute noses twitch but i cant cause i have dogs they might would eat it O.o

[FruittisMaris]

So damn cute!

[RaggyHeaven]

@FruittisMaris Thank you :) She really is a little gem, our Ragdolls love her too!

[countrycajunfan1959]

Such a little sweetie! Awwe! 

[RaggyHeaven]

@countrycajunfan1959 She sure is a sweetheart. She's now used to cuddles and everytime I go past the pen and she wants a cuddle, she'll stand up like a meerkat and I'll give her a good belly rub and pick her up for a cuddle. They've taken me by surprise just how affectionate they are :)

[Meghann25]

You adopted her or you have a female rabbit ? (because for 5 weeks to a baby not yet weaned) ...

[RaggyHeaven]

@Meghann25 Hiya, sorry I mucked that up, our girls are 6 weeks old & we've just brought them home. We met them at the breeders, when they were 5 weeks. Though the rule of thumb is weaning at 6 weeks, since they start eating solid food 11-14th days after birth, they continue to grow & may be weaned as early as 5 weeks, without complication. However, every bunny is unique & weaning MUST be based on their weight & overall healthiness as well as their age. Our girls needed the full 6 weeks :)
