Hi bunny fans! Welcome to our channel.
I'm Popcorn, a 1 year old mom Jersey Woolly!
And I'm Ash, another 1 year old dad Holland Lop!
We're bonded rabbits living in tropical Singapore!
Our mommy, Arianna, makes videos all about rabbit care and our young family. We don't intend to expand as Arianna's mom had us spayed and neutered after the birth of our babies- Winter, Oreo and Onyx, who are all 7 months old, and their babies who're 2 months! They are each very unique and adorable bunnies!
Join us in our journey and learn more about the Bun life! :)

Ur info is EXCELLENT,👍🏽 but ur slides go by way too fast. Slow down, please!🐌😊👍🏽
Beautiful strong little bunny, thank you for taking such good care of this special little one 💖 Faith was like a borrowed angel, may she rip💖
This is our first time owning a rabbit and we weren't taking care of him properley so his bottom became matted. Thank you so much for making this, really helpful!!!
Never bathe a rabbit, this description should be changed as some people may believe and copy it!
You used FAR more shampoo than “a few drops” as you advised! That is way too much shampoo and too much water. Rabbit care and behavioral expert, Mary Cotter says shampoo is not necessary. She says warm water worked in well with the fingers is all that is needed to get a rabbit’s butt and feet clean.
People give advice even when they have never had bunnies their whole life. Sometimes bunnys bottom fur get dirty and cleaning is needed .
Aww thank you for sharing. Beautiful baby, beautifully told.
Adorable ❤
Can you give your rabbit a bath even if they don’t need one? I want to give my rabbit one but she doesn’t actually need one
Please don’t give your rabbit a bath. As mentioned in the video, there are many risks involved. A dry bath, wipes and at most, a wet bottom rinse are advised but only if your rabbit has very badly soiled and matted fur, at risk for flystrike or is unable to clean itself due to health reasons. You can also check with your vet if you want a second opinion. Hope this helps. Thanks😊
My bunny is litter trained, she’s going to have baby’s soon. How can I set up her cage with the nesting box, so she doesn’t get confused with the 2?
The nesting box should not be too close to the litterbox. It should also be deeper, partially enclosed and filled with hay. It should be big enough for her to comfortably sit in and move around in. Your rabbit will likely build her nest here as pregnant bunnies will need to find an area that will keep their babies warm and safe. She will not use it as a litterbox, provided you put it in her cage a week before she gives birth. By now, your rabbit may be pulling fur and trying to get as much hay as possible to build a nest. She will likely choose the nesting box especially if it already has hay in it. If you have a male bunny, please separate them. Hope this helps and congratulations!💗
Hello I just recently got a holland lop bunny. I’m not sure if I should bathe him he has a lot of excrement in his bottom and it is very stuck to his skin I’m thinking about bathing him but I’m not sure he’s only 4 weeks old. Would u recommend bathing him?
Oh dear. I suggest trying wet wipes or dry shampoo (to loosen the excrement) first before giving him a wet bottom rinse, especially since he is so young. He may panick or get hurt. For stubborn excrement, you may try a wet bottom rinse with minimal lukewarm water and pet shampoo just enough to clean the problem areas of his bottom. He must be calm when you do this and be placed in a safe, secure area. Please do not get the rest of him wet or let water enter his ears or nose. He should never be immersed fully in water and do dry any wet fur immediately after with a hairdryer so that he doesn’t catch cold. Other option is to wait it out a few weeks to see if he manages to clean himself and just trim off the fur containing dried excrement. After he is clean, please make sure his litter box is cleaned regularly. If he continues to soil himself, please check his diet. He could be eating too many pellets or vegetables, causing him to have excess cecotropes or soft fecal droppings that stick to his fur. A diet with more hay would prevent excrement from sticking to his fur as rabbits’ fecal droppings are generally dry and round. If he continues to soil himself even with a hay-rich diet and clean surroundings, you may want to take him to a vet to ensure the issue is not health related. Hope this helps.😊
@@popcornash9903 wow thank you so so much this really did help. I really appreciate it! ❤️
Cuteness overload 🙏😘🥰💞💕🥕🎄🐇🥦
Just saw this. So loving and touching. Tried hard well done she was definitely in good hands up until the end and she knew. Rest in peace little Faith ❤🙏
Aww…thank you! 💗🙏🏻
We did this before!- Thanks!- he is cleaner. Also people need to watch the video before commenting :skull:
That’s great! Thank you! 😊
I just got a bunny for my kids! These videos are super helpful and informative! Thank you so much ❤
thats still not how you bathe a rabbit.. you should never get there WHOLE body wet like you did
If you watched closely, my bunny was never immersed fully in water and was blow dryed completely after. I’ve given my bunny a bottom rinse five times for his chronic UTI. He has never ever once gotten sick and is thriving! Even my vet says we’ve done a great job. Sorry, if you don’t agree. Just sharing my experience. Thanks.
Bunnies do not take baths,😳 ,there is no such think ! Inform yourself first about how to take care for bunnies and avoid showing something like this!😠
Maybe you should watch the video first before making rash judgments, but I appreciate your concern. Thanks
The rabbits I’m rescuing are covered in a lot fecal matter everywhere; how do I get them cleaned off without causing so much stress and the potential of death??
Hi there! Cleaning rescue rabbits can be tough as they are generally scared of being handled and the fear itself can kill them. I would suggest getting the rabbits used to you first. Keep their environment and litterbox clean to ensure that they don’t get more soiled. Stay close to them, give them hay to make sure their gut is healthy and droppings are normal, let them smell you and feed them healthy treats to bond with them. Once they warm up to you, you can start by using dry rabbit shampoo (powder) to loosen up any dry fecal matter on their fur with a comb or your fingers. You will need to trim fur that is matted badly as this can interfere with their ability to clean themselves. Be gentle at all times and do not attempt to take out fecal matter in one go. It will take some time. Once you take out the dry fecal matter, you can then use wet wipes to take out fresh urine/fecal stains on the fur. Only do a quick wet bottom rinse for sticky/fresh fecal matter and urine stains that may cause urine scalding. But make sure your rabbit is healthy, does not suffer from any infections or wounds before you do. Rabbit skin is prone to tearing when wet and wounds can get infected from water/shampoo. Also, please make sure you dry your rabbit’s fur well with a hairdryer since rabbit fur can’t dry quickly. Rabbits can get pneumonia if they are wet for too long and if water enters their noses or ears. The video demonstrates how I clean one of my bunnies called Ash. I have five rabbits but he is the only one I have had to clean a few times as he suffers from chronic UTI. Generally rabbits don’t need cleaning if healthy. Hope this helps and thanks for taking care of rescue bunnies! That’s wonderful!!!🙏🏻😊
@@popcornash9903 okay, thank you so so much for the info. It’ll help a lot with the process
Please don't bath your rabbit ❤
I don’t bathe them. I do wet bottom rinses and only for my bunny with a medical condition. My video clearly explains this.
that wasnt a bottom rinse. you dont need a whole bath to bathe them, you just need a sink and hold them upright and use just a bit of water, not that much@@popcornash9903
Wonderful video. Very informative. Just subscribed! 🎉🎉🎉
Aww….thank you!!!!! Glad you liked it!😊
NO NO NO NO NO YOU DO NOT NEED TO FULLY BATH YOUR RABBITS!!!!! if they need help cleaning you get a wet cloth and gently wipe the area they need help cleaning in don’t emerge them WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!!! rabbits can get Hypothermia and Stress
I’m sorry. You OBVIOUSLY did not watch the video!!!! Please refrain from making comments on what you THINK the video is about. I have five bunnies who are all alive, thriving and happy. I know how to take care of them. Thank you for your concern.
Please watch the video before making rude and unnecessary statements considering this video had tons of information!!
please dont give your buns baths they clean themselfs and baths can put them in shock!
Yes, I know. That’s why i recommended a bottom rinse or wipes. This was mentioned in the video but you probably did not watch it. Thanks
Thanks this was helpful. To the people who are saying bunnies don’t need bath. Chill. This is just bottom cleaning. Like she showed. NEVER put water in bunnies ears,eyes or body like you bath dogs or cats. Sometimes they need this type of bottom cleaning. Though itself is recommended only if your bunny gets extremely dirty and is not able to clean itself properly. One of my bunnies cannot groom itself properly leading to sticky clustered fur on his bum. And its getting dirtier as he is not able to clean itself. So yeah sometimes you can clean them this way or they can get infected. Though if they seem highly stressed STOP. Reassure and do asap.
Sorry for your loss little girl
Nice I like your videos
RIP Faith 😢 I loved seeing mother rabbit licking her in the video.
She's very cute 🥰 What do you do about the seizures? How big did she get? I love 💕 seeing you hold and pet her and her sniffing your hand.
Thank you^^
Last year I bathed my rabbit not knowing you weren’t supposed to underneath the sink faucet, but I have a special shampoo for guinea pigs rabbits
There's never a reason to give your bunny a bath. If needed they can be wiped down with a wash cloth but don't give your bunny a bath!
I keep my nest inside my home with lots of blankets around and under the nest box ( that is a god bed ) I did not loose any kits and it's been 2 weeks since they were born. And yes, the best is to spay and neuter of course. I did not breed on purpose it just happened. I didn't knew I had a male and a female because I rescued the male not knowing his gender.
I love your videos! Very informative and to the point! I have two male lionhead bunnies that I got as a Christmas present from my husband. They were at the pet store in separate cages and we didn’t know anything about bunnies or bonding but we put them together right away and they seemed to like each other. They would groom each other and they rarely leave each other’s side. Then they reached the 4 month age and started humping, chasing, and biting each other and peeing all over each other and the vet said that they won’t neuter them until 6 months old. That time is here now and I’m trying to do all the research so that they are rebonded properly when I bring them home. How long after they get neutered do you usually start bonding them? And also, when they started peeing and pooping all over our house (we let them free roam) my husband thought we should let them stay outside in our screened in patio. Then he started letting them run around out in our backyard and they love it, never really want to come inside. But now because they are always grazing on grass and clover, they quit wanting to eat their hay. I’m a little worried since that’s supposed to be the majority of their diet. And they also will only eat the pellets with all the added nuts, corn and whatever else they put in the stuff that Walmart sells. I unknowingly bought that kind when they ran out of the original healthier pellets and now they only like the unhealthy stuff. I want to keep them inside after they get neutered but I’m just worried that they won’t eat their hay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I’m so glad you love the videos! After my boys were neutered, I kept them divided with a fence for 2-3 weeks so they were close enough to get used to each other’s scent and presence. After I noticed them smelling each other often and lying close to one another, I started bonding them in a neutral area for 15min and longer. Bonding was successful in less than a week. With regards to diet, hay is super critical to your rabbits’ digestive health and teeth. If you notice that your rabbits fecal droppings are wet, dark, soft, or sticky, please reduce fresh veggies and sugar-high pellets. You can wean them off slowly by providing oat hay blended with a little alfalfa hay, until they start eating hay again. Then switch them back to Timothy hay with a sprinkling of alfalfa and oat hay. If you can, sometimes just providing Timothy hay and lots of water will do. They may resist for a while but will eventually get used to hay again. You can allow them to run around and graze for 2-3 hours a day but keep them in an indoor space if possible so they are not tempted to graze on grass. To keep my rabbits’ gut healthy, I also add probiotic in their water, which has prevented GI Stasis. Hope this helps!😊
@@popcornash9903 thank you so much!!! It does help tons!
My bunny could never lol great video tho ❤
Thank you😊
i need a safe way to bathe my rabbit cause he sadly has fleas and idk what to do
Have you taken him to a rabbit-savvy vet? Fleas can cause anemia and other complications in rabbits, so it is important that you have him treated for fleas as soon as possible. Your vet may have a rabbit-safe topical medication you can use with a flea comb. Fleas should be eliminated within 1-2 days, after which you can use wipes to keep him clean. It is important to also identify the source of the fleas and keep him away from it, could be another animal or an area he explores. Please do not bottom rinse him while he has fleas as there could be abrasions in his skin that can get infected in the water.
I've recently lost my bunny. He was very dear to me. He had a feet infection so was on meds which effected in messy pooping. I had to bathe his bottom to keep him clean. He started breathing fast after going on meds and on visit to the vet, we found he had caught a very bad cold, had 105° fever and cough in his chest. He succumbed to a stroke right after returning to house. Couldn't even start his treatment. I'm heartbroken. So anybody who needs to hear this, please don't bathe bunnies just to keep him clean, wipe him with a wet towel. And if bathing is absolutely necessary, make sure you dry him well. Otherwise he may catch pneumonia like my Bidhu did and depart before his time.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Yes, I agree that bathing bunnies is dangerous. A bottom rinse should not be done unless done properly and only when absolutely necessary as recommended by a vet. As mentioned in the video, there are many risks involved. What is critical when giving a bottom rinse is to be sure to dry your bunny thoroughly and in a warm place and to ensure that no water enters its nose and ears as rabbits are unable to get water out themselves, which leads to pneumonia. I have given my bunny a bottom rinse twice and thankfully, he has never gotten sick. But each rabbit is different and perhaps it is better not to wash a bunny when they have an infection as open wounds exposed to water can be bad and traumatic. I wish your vet had provided better guidance as you obviously had the best intentions. Thank you for sharing your story as it is important to remind people that the risks are real. I am so sad to hear about your rabbit and very sorry you went through this as you obviously loved your bunny very much.😥
@@popcornash9903 I repent my actions. Wish there was some way I could rectify it all and bring him back! He loved me so much! Really heartbroken
@@RituparnaChatterjee2441139 please do not be so hard on yourself. You loved your bunny dearly and took care of him as best as you could. I’m sure he felt loved and was happy.💗 Your vet should have advised you better not to bottom rinse a bunny that had an infection. Best to use wipes first or wait until he is healthy to rinse his bottom. But again, please do not take it so hard. You cared for your bunny. He was lucky to have you.
@@popcornash9903 thank you for your words. I believe his unwillingness to take medicines also made treatment difficult. His companion bunny does not mind munching her meds although with an attitude. But feeding Bidhu his meds was almost impossible, and insisting on an ailing little thing made me feel awful. He also simply wouldn't drink water! Is there any way to ease the way bunnies take medicines?????
I just got two bunnies and they run around the house🐰🐇🐇
Very nice video good job
Thank you!🥰
Kits are boren Def and blind
kzread.info/dash/bejne/aImX0byBcs-3aJM.html
Just get special wipes for animals and clean them with that
He looks so relaxed 😂
Awww Faith was so strong! Glad you gave her a chance ❤️
Thank you! She was very special.💗
I got a bunny in back in Christmas, but recently shes been getting dirty and the stains in her fur won’t come off properly. I tried every way but only a half worked, what do I do?
Hi! How often does she get dirty? If it’s often you may want to do three things: 1. Check that her diet is 80% hay as too many pellets and veggies can cause really soft poo which often gets stuck on their fur. 2. Make sure the litter boxes are cleaned regularly and her environment is clean so that she doesn’t get urine stains on her fur. 3. Take her to the Vet to make sure she doesn’t have UTI or other health issues that make it difficult for her to clean herself. If you’ve done all three, you can start with a dry bath to take away the smell and a simple bottom rinse. Do not submerge her fully in water and make sure your rabbit’s fur is dry after. If the stains are all over her body, you could get a groomer to trim off the badly stained areas. Sometimes stains are difficult to clean because of matted fur. A rabbit saavy pet groomer or even your vet can do this for you. I don’t recommend doing it yourself if you haven’t developed a strong bond with your bunny as it could cause panic and accidents. Hope this helps.😊
Please don't do this
Nooo you can kill it like this
I know it has been a year but I’m so sorry for your loss 😢 we had our first (only) unexpected litter December 15th 2019. We had 7 babies but one was a peanut and only lived 4 days ❤️🩹 my fiancé and I were devastated, we knew it was going to happen but nothing could prepare us. Over those 4 days I got so attached to him/her, feeding, holding and just constantly checking on him. We did get him cremated so I could always have him with us and we were renting and had no where to burry him. Seeing your video brought all the feels back and I balled like a baby 🥺 so sorry for you loss
Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss too. It’s never easy caring for a peanut, knowing their slim chances of survival. Still, you and your fiancé did well to care for him/her so well. Thank you for being so kind. Your peanut was lucky to be so loved.💗
So we'll done!
Thank you!!!!😊
lmao the amount of people just commenting based on the thumbnail and not the video is unbelievable
Yes. Noticed that too!🤣
Please don’t do this as rabbits get very distressed.
I do a wet bottom rinse sometimes and blow dry my bunny after. She loves it so much coz she just sits there quietly and doesn’t try to escape lol. It’s like a spa day for her.
Aww…my bunny is the same. He loves it too!☺️ But I guess our bunnies are the exception. Not all bunnies will like it. Your bunny obviously trusts you. That’s awesome!💗
