@runescape4344 I can at least say that bunny poop is more easy to clean up than other types of pet poop. And if it gets soft or appears to be like say dog poop then he/she may have eaten something that didn’t agree with them. if they keep doing that it might be time to take them to the vet.

@nicolevins You …
@nicolevins You have to give them hay. It helps them in their digestive tract and doesn’t let them gain weight like pellets do. Your right…WTH?

@Wihpri77
The nature of them is to be on the ground.
One of my rabbits doesn’t mind it, but my other one hates it. She runs away and flicks her feet at me. Maybe your rabbit is very skittish. They can be tamed, but not always…

@nicolevins I’m not talking about pet.. I’m talking about picking them up =_=.. They doesn’t mind to be pet by me, but they bothered when i was trying to pick them up… Why is that??

I have a dwarf Hotot bunny also. I wish he’d let me hold him like this one does. He loves to be pet, but hates to be picked up. Any secret on how to get him to like being picked up?

The rabbit in the video is healthy I assume… don’t you know anything about rabbits?
Rabbits can shed their coat all year round and the rabbit had a fine coat of hair.

Rabbits aren’t supposed to get baths(can lead to shock/hypothermia).
Who told you that ‘advice’?

@Wihpri77
They don’t like being on high grounds too much.
You just …
@Wihpri77
You just have to remember that in the wild, it’s not very often rabbits are handled. It’s just the nature of them
Try sitting near the rabbit in a small room and allowing the rabbit to walk/jump on you. Don’t make sudden movements.. keep doing this and from time to time, pet your rabbit as it jumps on you. My rabbit was like yours. She still doesn’t like being handled but doesn’t mind being petted.

Wow… Can i ask… Why is my bunny dosen’t like to be picked up and always running when i wan around… I gave them food, water, and room.. But.. I think they are afraid of me.. Can you help me please?
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:00 am
@Tommydudez You can …
@Tommydudez You can also give them a little bit of banana (my bunny loves banana) or other fruits but not too much because it has sugar.
Oh! And bunnies don’t really smell bad and I don’t usually give him baths at all (i didn’t know we were supposed to) because bunnies usually clean themselves. The only thing that smells is their urine, so make sure you clean the bunny’s litter box once in awhile. If there are anymore questions feel free to ask
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:00 am
@Tommydudez My …
@Tommydudez My bunny sometimes bites but only if he wants to be let go so he could run around. But there are some bunnies who don’t like to be held at all so some do bite. Sure thats enough food :3 And no you don’t really have to give them hay you can also give them some alfalfa or timothy hay but not too much! Because the alfalfa can give them too much calcium and cause them to pee white (this happened to mine).
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:00 am
@Tommydudez Sorry …
@Tommydudez Sorry for the late reply, but I think you should really think it through more because bunnies are a BIG responsibility. I’ve had my bunny for about 5-6 months already and he grew so quickly. The one problem about bunnies is that they like to eat EVERYTHING they see. So make sure you put your important stuff away, especially cords and cables.

@LostFragrance cool …
@LostFragrance cool i have a hard time in deciding if i should keep a bunny. this is because i am afraid if they may cause skin allergy cos i have sensitive skin.
May i ask u how long u have kept ur bunny? Does it smell bad if not showered? Would it bite u? is it enough if i just gave it carrot,cabbage,grass and flowers..not sure where to get hay….will they be food deprived without hay?
Thanks for ur ans!
