See all my family members and anyone I talk to about my bunnies, make fun of me for being so strict with my bunnies diet and everything I give them. I’m always making sure it’s fresh or high quality or just healthy for them. Everyone always says I’m being a helicopter bunny mom and being too picky about what they eat and the hay they use. In reality I’m just caring for them and want to make sure they’re happy and healthy and don’t get sick!!

Horse and bunny person here! What you want to ask for at the farm store is 2nd cut hay! 2nd cut is generally the most expensive, highest quality baled hay. Good 2nd cut will be green, fragrant, full of soft grass, not sticks, straw, leaves, or plants. It depends where you live the "type" of hay that will be in your bale (timothy, orchard grass, ect.) Where I live in New England almost any 2nd cut will mostly consist of timothy hay. When you get over to California you might run into more alfalfa, because it grows better there and therefore is cheaper and more wide spread. Make sure your bale of hay is not hard packed or excessively dusty, both of those are indicators of a possibly moldy bale. Just thought I'd share what I know, hope it helps someone!

Love this! If you ever have to change a pet to fit your lifestyle, it’s not the pet for you. I cringe every time someone says they don’t feed hay because their allergic😊 FYI, I have severe rabbit allergies and still feed orchard grass hay

Honestly, this is very helpful. Me and my family have been thinking about getting a bunny, a dwarf lop bunny we saw an ad for not far from where I live.

I already had a bunny water bottle in my cart, but I made sure to put in a water dish instead after watching this. I think that you’re a fantastic bunny owner, with a lot of knowledge, and thank you for sharing it! 😄

I think you forgot that young rabbits need alfalfa to help them grow. Thats why "young rabbit" pellets are made. They have higher protien to help them grow. Like i have goats, cows and horses along with my house buns. Young animals need higher protien feeds for energy and nutrients for growth.

She has to eat soaked hay but I can give her alfalfa without soaking it. Sugar can cause her to have a laminitus flare up.

I also hand-feed a small amount of pellets and it has been amazing for bonding with my bunnies. My male has always been friendly but my female was rescued from an animal shelter and originally came from a hoarding situation, so she was much more nervous and scared. Handing feeding pellets (since the bunnies LOVE them) has really helped her to become a lot more social and friendly) and helped us bond with her. I guess treats would work the same way, but you would need to cut them up into VERY TINY pieces to allow for the same "bonding time" I get from hand-feeding just 1/8 cup of pellets.

@@incanusolorin2607 It's honestly pretty case-by-case, imo. Like my cat had gross fur when she was on a raw diet, but now she's silky smooth with high quality (I use Orijen) kibble. I'm not sure why a more natural diet didn't agree with her, but it was the case for her. But I think it's important to also remember that domestic animals of any kind are not wild. What's "natural" for them by this point can be completely different than that of a wild species. In fact, that's usually the reason they live so much longer with us than in the wild. The most important thing is to do your research and find out what works for your specific animal.

Thank you so much, this video is a huge help💖💖

my rabbit is super active and when i started cutting out pellets he lost 10% of his body weight really quickly. he gets pellets still but about half of the "recommended" amount. he still gets a big handful of greens twice/day plus a small sugary treat each meal (carrot, blackberry, strawberry, bell pepper, etc.) plus a hay-based treat or two for crunchiness. He's been maintaining a healthy weight for almost a year now. i think i have a weird rabbit though because NOTHING seems to phase his gut. He got into a plate of cookies and chocolate (he broke out of his enclosure when we were retraining him for a litterbox) and he was completely fine. he eats soooo much and then burns up all his energy sprinting around the house and up and down the stairs.

That's really helpful about the cecotropes... I have noticed my female does not eat the cecotropes a lot of the time. I am doing veggies and dark leafy greens along with a scoop of what she's been familiar with from her other owner, which is she loves the "gourmet" pellets with dried fruit and these gummy things. Its basically supplemental... I think its sort of like formula for infants, like it's way more nutrients because it cannot be absorbed the same way and perhaps it has detriments but at the same time it might become a "necessity" under certain circumstances if there is no other option or education or both.

Hi there, I just wanted to mention my water supply for my rabbits. They are a bit more expensive, but I use a Drinkwell Ceramic Pagoda water fountain for my rabbits. It's heavy, rectangular and provides fresh, filtered water for the bun-buns at all times - really worth the extra cost. The replacement filters are inexpensive and provided you don't drop them, the fountains last forever. The rabbits love them, and tend to drink from the falling water flow.

question - can you use hay and hay pellets? or is just plain hay good?

Your hay feeders are very cool. Also I get what you're saying about hay cubes but here's the thing, what's the lesser of two evils? Someone who's allergic to hay feeding hay cubes or yet another rabbit having to go to a shelter because their human couldn't get their allergies under control. Dental issues will be something to keep an eye out for but they're manageable and not the end of the world. I'd rather find ways to help people keep their bunnies in their home than say "oh you shouldn't have the rabbit" and then that rabbit ends up in an already over crowded shelter. Just something to think about. Great video btw. Also to other viewers I understand many of you with allergies have figured out ways to control them. That's awesome but there's going to be someone out there who can't get a handle on it. Maybe they've got some other issues that made a medication not work for them like they have to be on a med for an unrelated issue that doesn't react well with other meds. We should always strive for ideal situations but I believe we also should be showing people how to make things work in a less than ideal situation. Of course that's a personal opinion.
