I think this is actually more humane than the way people will keep their pet rabbits in tiny cages and crap conditions their whole lives.

Finally, the point of food. I don't know if you realize, maybe you do but a lot of people don't, but a rabbit's diet needs to consist of 80% timothy or meadow hay and only 10% pellets. No mixed pellets that have corn or treats, just a plain pellet with at least 20% fiber. The hay is vital for ...

Paper towel/toilet paper tubes, old books, egg cartons, willow sticks, most bird toys which you can hang from the roof, cardboard boxes, blankets/towels, a box of potting soil to dig in, little jingle balls they can throw around, baby toys like the plastic key rings, etc...most bird and baby toys...

@superanimallover11 Rabbits do not have pads on their feet like cats or dogs. They only have fur, so they don't have "protection" as you call it. Actually, it looks like your rabbit has sore hocks, which means her feet are inflamed--you can see the bald area at 0:28. I'm betting that you have ...

Dear god, the Gollum in this movie scared the crap out of me when I was little and first watched it...I remember I had bad dreams that night.

@xSweetButterscotchx Actually, a rabbit's cage should be 6ftx2ft MINIMUM with a permanent run of 6ftx4ft attached so it can come out whenever it wants. I would never keep two rabbits in a cage the size in this video--it's simply not enough room for the amount of running/binkying/flopping rabbits...

Aaaah, thanks for the upload! I remember watching this when I was seven and being scared to death of Gollum.

@SuperMazzyTV That would be great! I would just say, if you're going to get a rabbit, definitely look into adopting :-) If you adopt, you'll be able to get a rabbit that's already spayed/neutered, so you won't have to worry about any drastic behavior change once the bun reaches six months and t...

Gorgeous rabbits, though :-) Are they free-roaming?

@girlmeetsgun I meant that people usually balk at adopting because it sometimes cost $75 or a bit more to adopt the rabbit initially, while pet stores sell for $25-$30 or so. I just worded my answer wrong :-) Yes, it is definitely cheaper in the long run, but people who buy from pet stores don'...

Finally, not all rabbits are cuddly or willing to interact with us humans the way we would like. I had one rabbit who would only come up to me when I was sitting while being quiet. She ONLY wanted attention when she asked for it. Now, my male rabbit, Honey, is the complete opposite. He's an a...

In the UK, the RSPCA says the minimum hutch size for a rabbit is 6ftx2ftx2ft, with a permanent run of at least 6ftx4ft. In the US, the ASPCA says the minimum hutch size is 4ftx2ft with a permanent run. I go by the UK's standards: they are way ahead of us with their rabbit care. They understa...

If you wouldn't encourage other people to put their rabbits in a pool, why would you do it yourself? The chlorine is a chemical your rabbit should never be subjected to. If you care that much, why would you take that risk?? He was heading for the steps, where he would have gotten out and NOT h...

Loooove it! My rabbit has free run of my room when I'm home, and has a big pen to run in when I'm gone. I can't imagine keeping a rabbit in a little cage with only a couple hours to stretch and run.

I'm impressed with your cage! Most people keep their rabbits in cages that are much too small. I love the stuffed turtle, lol. Good job, there :-)

Probably the only thing I noticed was the amount of food in her bowl. Rabbits really need only a 1/4 cup of pellets a day, along with unlimited t...

You're right, rabbits shouldn't eat nuts :-) They can't digest them properly and it could cause issues.

You should look into getting her a bigger cage. She's probably bored, which is why she's chewing on the bars. Rabbits LOVE to chew, and they have to because their teeth have to be worn do...

Some toy ideas are cardboard boxes that you can cut doors and windows into, old books to chew on, willow sticks, old carpet squares...every once in awhile I put out a big sheet with a cat-litter box of potting soil in it, and my rabbit goes CRAZY over it. Rabbits love to dig, so it's a great way...

@silversky2668 Also, they shouldn't be eating the same food, as each animal requires different levels of fiber, protein, and other nutrients.

That rabbit so obviously wants to get out that the person filming is being blatantly cruel...a rabbit in the wild would ONLY swim if it had to in order to survive, not because it wants to. And the chemicals in a pool could KILL a rabbit. If the water gets in its ears, it could cause major probl...

@rockstar7809 If you go to a website called therabbithouse. com, it shows ideas of how to build a rabbit cage out of something called Neat Idea Cubes, which you can purchase on amazon. com. You can make a cage as big as you want :-)

@iluvsonicxshadow Rabbits have very different digestive systems from cats and dogs and can't receive a lot of the same medicine as them. Many rabbits have died because they are brought to vets who don't know how to properly treat them. There are veterinarians who are specially trained to treat ...

You can use an extra large dog crate as your rabbit cage, with a litterbox and a towel. Then attach a large pen, at least 6x4, to the crate so the rabbit can come out to run whenever it wants. Wire bottom cages are horrendous, and the ones in this video are WAY too small. My rats have a cage t...

Also, a neutered male and a spayed female can make great companions. I can't tell you how great it is to see two rabbits lay next to each other and groom each other.They are social creatures who love to be with their own kind. Humane societies and adoption centers are the best place to go to get...

One thing this video doesn't mention is that most rabbits hate to be picked up or held. My bun, Honey, HATES to be picked up but will sit next to me forever while I pet him. Kids don't really understand that...they want something they can cuddle with. Also, rabbits should have at least a 6x4 p...

@TheSnowyBeach If you type in "neat idea cubes" on amazon.com, these are basically square grids that can be used to make a big rabbit cage--as big as you want, basically. If you look up pictures on google, you'll see how people have made some awesome cages. Those are only for indoor rabbits, th...

@magyksthelimit Lol, it scared me when my bun, Honey, first did it, too! I walked in the room and he was flopped over--I thought he had died! Then he got up, shook his head, and looked at me like "What the heck is your problem?"
