Thank you so much for this! I'm only a kid and I've found that having a happy bunny that trusts you can be hard to get. I've been waking up at five am to read your articles so my partner Marshmellow can be happy. Marshmallow can be pretty shy but I've been working with and he's been seeming more comfortable around people. Marshmallow is a dorf Albino bunny and i got him about a year ago. He's truly a sweetheart and I love him so much. I've been saving up money to get him a lot of toys and treats to make him as happy as he can be 😊! I have a four year old little brother and he can be quite scary to my little companion. Marshmallow has really been opening up to me and other people. I will try these techniques and then come back to this video in a few months! 😊😁

I got two rabbits in need of a new home, a female and a male. Both intact... They are about 2 years old, so I want to have them fixed as soon as possible. I have made appointments for both of them. I had them checked by my vet and the female needed treatment for a very nasty sinus infection, and she absolutely HATED the meds I had to give her. So I’ve had to work harder for her trust. And they don’t seem to have gotten the love they needed, but they will now. I already love them to bits. And they seem to love their new homes so much, that it rubs of on their stance on me a little. I don’t think that they used to have space or toys, or even the proper diet. His poop used to be scarily small and almost black, but now he makes perfectly big and healthy poops. I’m so proud! 💖 And I can’t wait for when they are healed and the hormones are reduced, to see how they will get along with bonding. But I am very prepared for all that, when it is time. I just hope they will like each other.

Hi, thanks for making this video it's super informative. I just got my bunny 9 days ago, she was 8 weeks old then. Took her to the vet for a checkup yesterday and had trouble getting her in her travel case so think she was a bit stressed by that as she is very shy and we haven't been able to pet her much yet. My vet has told me just feed her hay and pellets and that she is too young for any treats until about 5 months old so I won't be able to bribe her affections. I will keep tuning in to your videos, thanks again for your tips you seem like a real expert I am very grateful!

Hi !! I brought a rabbit home from our local humane society this afternoon and he has been a dream ! I’m already on step 3 :D I lay down in the corner of the room and he’s coming up to me all the time and I break his little treats into 10 TINY pieces and reward him for coming over . He laid beside me tonight and started purring when I rubbed his back . Thank you for your video it helped me a ton !

I’m taking care of a rabbit for 2 weeks, and while I have experience taking care of a variety of exotic animals, this is my first time with a bunny, and your videos have been super helpful. I’ve mostly left her alone and it’s day 3 tomorrow; my plan is do do a quiet activity next to her enclosure for a few hours.

My boy is just shy of touching but is comfortable with me being in the room. He flops and sniffs me and comes up to me just fine just is shy of touch. Noise doesn't seem to bother him at all so I sit in his xpen with my videos/movies/shows playing and clean their poops daily and give treats and their veggues. hes slowly letting me start to pet him now. It's only taken a week and a half ❤

I’ve had my bun from a baby. She’s almost a year old & sweet. But had a terrible time while I was away. I also had to give up 1 bunny as she wasn’t bonded to her. So now she’s getting used to being a solo bunny. We didn’t bond well before. So I think this vid will help me to build a strong, consistent bond. & make her not feel so anxious & sad. Also, really praising this vid highly!! Your experience with bunnies is so helpful. Because so much of having a bunny is trial & error. & you take that away. So thank you ☺️

hahaha. very first thing she did (by not paying attn to how she talks with her hands..?) FLAIL into her bunnies FACE. Again, she doesn't do this on purpose. Shes super sweet (personable, adorable, etc) ... but for some reason, people just don't realize how their hands flail away at animals faces. I hope "The Bunny Lady" will watch the videos of her with the volume off maybe..? And just watch her hands relative to her bunnies face / eyes and think from the bunnies perspective. I really don't have ideas of how to manage the behavior (its obviously find w humans, probably good with kids or people who need visual cues if they don't speak english as a first language) ... but maybe sitting on her hands? Hand restraints..? Something so that when she tries to flail there's an immediate feedback mechanism...otherwise, (kinda like the way I pronounce kilometer with the emphasis on the wrong syllable) ... without immediate reminder I'd probably have a hard time retraining my behavior.

Hi! I got my bun primrose we call her prim on Thursday…she was really shy and wouldn’t go anywhere near me she stayed in a certain corner next to her little box (she uses the litter so well) everyday I’ve spent a hour + just sitting with her she climbed up on me to have a treat the other day and I caught it on film I was so happy. Is this a sign of trust? Does this mean that I could possibly train her tricks in a few days? I also hand feed her food sometimes I literally put her food in the palm of my hand she she’ll eat it so carefully but my last bunny would attack me and I’m very cautious of her when I know she wouldn’t hurt me.
