Bunny proofing ideas?? Comment below!

Last year my rabbit unfortunately passed away and I have always felt guilt that I could've been a better owner. Which therefor lead me to promising her and myself that if I ever was able to get another rabbit I would give them all the love and freedom they deserve. Fast forward to now and I currently have the ability to get another companion(s) and am currently trying to fulfill that promise by before getting them getting everything bunny proofed and reading/watching many things on how to properly care for them like they deserve, and I just would like to thank you for helping people like me become the best bunny owners we can. :)

Like if your bunny has chewed at least one cord. I’ll start!

I’ve had my bunny Dexter for about 8 years now and he’s primarily lived in hutches and cages due to my family’s house rules. But this fall I’ll be finding my own apartment and I’d like to be able to free roam him, so I appreciate all these practical tips!

I was having fiber optic installed and the engineer was struggling to cut the carbon fibre wires. Took him several minutes. Everything installed. The guy leaves. My bunny arrives...5 seconds later... wire chewed and cut 😂

*hey who else thinks Lennon is really really adorable? 🥰*

A house is never truly bunny "proofed". You can only achieve bunny "you think you have everything protected until the little pooper one day decides to jump on your bed and chew the waist of you favorite pair of jeans and belt while you were in the bathroom".

My sister and I thought that we had bunny proofed our room, but Benji proved us wrong by digging holes into our dry wall. I'm hoping some of this will help! We will keep you updated, thank you so much!

I've literally watched ALL your videos, I've always wanted a bunny and I'm finally visiting a rescue shelter this week!! I really appreciate your educational videos, so many people mistreat their bunnys. I love how devoted you are to helping all the bunnys of the world! Thank you.

I just lost my bunny and watching your videos makes me feel so much better.

I'm literally gonna beg my parents to let me use these proofing ideas, I'm still trying to convince them to make my rabbit a free roaming rabbit though they do let me let her out at least every 5 times a week, I feel horrible that my rabbit has to go through all these things but I do sneak her out every time I have to go give her food, cuddle with her, play with her, talk to her about my day, or anything else. It's that our house is rented and the owners don't really like pets so that's one of the reasons my parent won't let me have Nefely/my rabbit be a free roaming rabbit

I remember watching this video a few months ago and I tried the tape thing,but now I don’t even now why I watch these videos,by bunny passed away November 22 2019, I guess your videos helps me feel better and brings back memories,I think of him everyday and sometimes I cry I will always love and remember you Snow❤️🐰

Me: *sees the video* Also Me: uhm, I don’t own a rabbit Me *watches it anyways*

Even though my bunny passed away a little over half a year ago I’ve always really loved your channel and I still watch every single video to see you and lennon. My bunny lived a long and happy life and even though I’m afraid I’ll eventually have to go through the pain of loss again you inspire me to want to adopt another bunny one day💗

video suggestion: what to do when you bring your bunny home for the first time :)

No, you should human proof your home in favor of the bunnies.

Me after covering everything i own in shipping tape: *P R O O F*

Lol this arrived a bit too late. I came home to a very angry mom, and realized my bunny had finished off her favorite plant. She hopped up ON THE TABLE and ate it. She had already nibbled some but my mom wasn't too mad as long as she was kept mostly away from it. But today... Still, thanks for the video. I enjoy watching these over and over again.

*Is about to do something important but drops everything to watch Lennon the bunny 😂*

Why do people dislike your videos? You are awesome Lennon the Bunny!

Who else thinks Lorelai and Lennon have a great bond ?❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I've just adopted a 2 year old Holland Lop called Ally and I pick her tomorrow can't wait. I've been watching your videos for tips and they've really been so very helpful ♥

Thank you for making this video! I adopted my Princess Bun who was returned to a shelter twice before I got her- never socialized or free roamed for 3 years. She LOVES running around my room with my cat and I am so excited for my new apartment where she will get to go everywhere. These tips are gonna be so helpful

Me and my bunny have been watching your videos together for 2 years and then sadly yesterday he past away so now I have no one to watch your videos with and thank you so much for helping me give him the best life possible🤍🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much your videos are Super helpful I am getting 2 bunnies soon and for the past month I have been researching A LOT

Do a what you can buy at TJ max for your bunny video!!

Thank you for posting your videos, they are a big help considering I have a 3 year old bunny who has a mind of her own. I love your videos and you and Lennon. ❤️❤️❤️

This made me very sad because I used to have two rabbits but we had to give them away cause we weren’t home enough and my mom worked too much... I miss them SO much 😭💖💔 They are hopefully with a better family and are loved and cared for😔❤️

Lennon reminds me of my bunny Jill they are both so cute and adorable😍😍

Before my bunny was old enough to get spayed, i had a lot of times when she would pee on my bed. I don't know why i didn't think of it before but i started to use a waterproof sheet so that nothing would sink into the mattress and it really helped. Thanks so much Lennon and Lorelei!!!

I just got a baby Netherland dwarf and your videos have been super helpful! Thank you❤️

My mom won’t let me get a bunny and I really want one for my stress and anxiety

I subscribed since I got my bunny but my bunny died recently so I shouldn’t even be here,but I really support this channel so I’m staying.

While I was watching your video my bunny was scratching my rug 🤨

I had no idea how many things I was doing wrong before I stumbled upon your channel. I appreciate all of your content so much:)

I LOVE your videos! Thanks for educating folks!! Since I have multiple bunnies in the house, we use a large under-the-bed style container for a litter box. It is probably 4 ft x 2 ft. We put 3-4 inches of wood shavings in the bottom and cover it with 6 inches of hay. They LOVE to play and romp in it and the shaving are a natural deodorizer, and are urine absorbent! We empty the pan into the compost bin, wash it, dry it, and start again! They don't go anywhere else! Thank you so much for promoting fine rabbit care!

Hi Lorelei! My boyfriend and I have who bunnies how live in an indoor self-build-pen, to which the door is open most of the time, and we are currently expanding the free roaming time to eventually free roam them altogether. We’ve been bunny proofing our place for quite a while now, and we have one tip we’d like to share, which we didn’t find online so far - it concerns blocking off areas. Since baby gates were not an option for us to block off areas (the grids are too wide, they are pretty expensive here and we felt that they don’t look so nice either), I came across a „dog blind“, which is like the blinds for your windows, you just attach it to your door frame. This was, however, rather expensive and needed drilling. But it inspired me - so I went to IKEA and bought some paper blinds - „Schottis“ to be exact, which was 2 or 3 Euros. And his works absolutey great! It is designed to be cut to the size you need, so you just cut it to the height and length you need. You stick one side to the door frame or your wall (the blinds come with tape) and on the other side, you apply a hook-and-look tape (which also comes with the blind), so you cab open and close it as you please. In one spot, we attached hook-and-loop fasteners on both sides, so we can put the whole thing away if we want. We also applied a narrow and flat kind of wooden pole to the side you open, to get a better grip. If you like, I can send you some pictures as well. I just love this solution so much, because I feel like it looks much better than baby gates (and you can choose different colours too), it is just SUCH a cheap solution, and it works so great for us. Since I have never read anything about this solution on the internet, I thought I might share it here. :) I really love your channel and your videos gave us lots of inspirations so far. So thank you! Greeting to you and Lennon from Germany Nina

I used many of your tips with great success! All cords are covered, rugs are not bunny nibble style, we keep things out of reach and if our bun finds something interesting then we learn from it. Also he is completely free roam, neutered, potty trained all with tips from you Loralei! Love you and your sweet Lennon....keep up the good work!

Lorelei: *Swears up and down:* No. Cages. They’re. Too. Small. Me: *gets add about Kaytee’s living habitats for rabbits and small pets* o-o

I Love Bunnies So Much!!! :3

The 1 person who disliked must be a bot bc no real human could dislike Lennon!!!

Great video! Unfortunately all 4 of our bunnies would make quick work of that shipping tape, they’d pee on the carpets and on the corner tiles! They would eat the baskets and cords, knock the plant stands over and chew through any sofa covers, haha.. We have bought jute rugs for them now and then, they love to chew those, and if you get the ones with no backing, they are safe.

Bunnies sound labor intensive. Bunnies are soooo cute. 🐇

I am so thankful for this channel before this channel I kept my bunny in a cage that I now know is to small now I’m buying and expen and giving him half of the room to stay in while I’m at work and when I come home he’s free Rome and I can tell he’s much happier

I love you guys so much. Honestly, Lorelei is so kind. awesome and amazing. You both inspire me to become a better version of myself. And you guys have taught me about the correct information of bunnies, that I am trying to spread what I know from you to everyone to make the world a better place. Like Lorelei is doing. I am ready to take in a bunny, thanks to you. I know I can provide my bunny the best home possible. Because each video I learn something new. I love you guys so much. And I just wanted to say thank you!

1. A big suitcase or two to block off rooms if baby gates aren't viable. Easy to move or remove. 2. For carpet chewers, problematic areas can also be covered with grass or hemp mats. Both are safe for bunnies. 3. This one won't work for all bunnies, but leave lots of cardboard boxes lying around. No ink/tape/staples of course. They make great chew toys! Great video, Lorelei. Thank you for all you do for the rabbit community!

This video deserves nothing but love

i am getting a bunny in like 3 days so i watch all of these back to help me bunny poof my room and house so thanks you so much the videos help me so so so much love you and lennon

i used lattice to block off under my bed and because it's plastic i sprayed some nasty stuff on it so she won't chew. i did this because my bunny once had GI stasis from eating carpet under my bed, her favorite spot sadly had to be blocked off.

Yaaay anothet video from Lennon!!!!!!! Here's some info about my rabbit ( idk why) •Shes 3 months old • her favorite foods are kale, Brussel sprouts oatmeal, and HAY • She loves to cuddle

my family has five rabbits because i got one and the rest of my family decided they wanted one too so we got to many to where my mom made us put them out side and they aren't in the best cages but there really isn't anything i can do for all of them but i am going to move my rabbit into my room to show my mom that we can each just keep our rabbits in our rooms so i have been watching bunny proofing videos all day. Thank you for your amazing tips.

i keep watching these bunny videos and keep realising that cats are so much better. Cats are almost like rabbits, but without all the hassle

Thanks for the amazing ideas. I will try the wall hack. Our walls look terrible because of our bunnies 🐰 actually I don’t mind as long as they happy but better protect before they eat our whole house 😂

yes!!! i’ve been waiting for this video! i have a one year old bunny who just got fixed and i’m in the process of convincing my mom to let him free roam! wish me luck!

I have applied your tips that fit our needs. These tips not just protect from my rabbit, but my ferret and even my cat. The main tip being the flexible cover for my USB cables and cords on my CPAP and SoClean machines. I also like the “garden hose” idea. Thank you, and blessings for you and Lennon. Also, FYI, I placed an order and received very good service and great quality Hay, Timothy Hay Cubes, bedding, stainless steel MidWest Snap y food and water bowls from one of your links...SPS. My Bugs Bunny is one happy bunny with the Hay Sampler and he is learning to like healthy treats just for him. Thank you, again.

I love Lennon and this is some very smart ideas

I’m obsessed with this channel ❤️Lennon is so cute🐰❤️

Great advice. I never thought of socks over furniture legs. But my rabbit chews holes in my socks already. Also the floor tiles. My carpet has sooo many bunny battle scars.

I just recently started free roaming 100% and its the best. I love waking up to apollo next to me and not in a sad little cage. Thank you so much for your tips and tricks❤

Aww what an adorable bunny rabbit!

I ❤️ Lennon and Lorelei Awesome channel 😆

That last part about providing toys and chewable things is perhaps the most important - it stops your furry friends from getting frustrated and bored!

Yessssssss !!! Thank you this is what I can be doing over the summer because we are getting a rabbit

Thank you so much! I had just rescued 2 rabbits from a family member. Their owner left the house and they were not getting food or water at all. I was going to drop them off at an animal shelter but I decided to see some of your videos and after watching how to care for them what the like and their body lingo my husband and I made the decision to keep them and give them the proper caring.

I have a big problem with my rabbit destroying all my blankets and sheets. At daytime i can cover them up, but at night I often wake up to my rabbit chewing my sheets and blankets. He has absolutely no problem with my couch though. I havent tested out the bitter apple spray, does it leave a strong scent? I easily get headaches from strong scents, so in that case i probably wouldnt be able to use it. I also feel like it could leave stains etc. And over all would not be such an good idea to use on sheets.

In your next video can you plz DIY a Carrier I really need one for my bunnies

Lennon is the luckiest bunny ever! Love your videos💕

This is really helpful for me and other people with rabbits and bunnies

I am going to adopt a bunny

A lot of toys are essential; however, although I have special toys for my bun toilet paper rolls (with tp still on, unrolling it and shredding it everywhere) are their favorite 😋 I get the big dense commercial rolls as toys now... Lasts a while unlike regular rolls. As long as a toy is safe sometimes you have to let your bunny tell you what they like instead of insisting on toys that you think they should like... For paper (really any) toys be careful that your bun is shredding it and not eating a significant amount, and that the paper doesn't have any toxic dyes or scents. Having plenty of hay usually prevents paper eating but it's no guarantee so better safe than sorry!! I know other people use phonebooks and things that provide a similar experience so I'd recommend those too if you have easy access to them :)

I’m adopting 2 male dwarf bunnies ( they are brothers, already bonded,) in late august, which is in a month, 😁😁😁 I have had a bunny, she passed away, but she loved a good life and made such a amazing impact in my life.

Anyone else just scrolling through here for more bunny proofing ideas 😅 Great video! Well done! ❤️

My bunny likes to chew on the carpet everywhere what’s a hack that I can stop him from doing this everywhere?

my grandpa and grandma have 4 MINI dwarf rabbits, but jo, the pen is so big! i even fit in it, there could maybe fit 10 bunnies in it! the cage costs something in the 400$, so yeah, thats really expensive too!

Before watching I have currently a diy two wood planks nailed together (my bed is against the wall) with a handle on it so I can easily pull it out for storage!! Works great! Also chinchilla proof too ;)

I really like the idea of taping corners and baseboards to protect them since it is so discrete!

Love your videos thank you for everything you do!!

Lennon is so cute! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this! For the summer my rabbits are in my normally 60-70 degree basement in large enclosures due to the hot weather inside my house. In the winter time they will move to my room due to the weather again. Don’t want my babies to be cold. I plan on convincing my parents into letting me donate pretty much 3/4 of my large room to their benefit. Going to go on etsy to make a large shopping cart of things to spoil them now, thanks

OMG this is a life saver cus my bunny is about to start free roaming in my room and i had no idea what to do to bunny proof

I love you and Lennon channel and this video is really helpful love you all 😍❤️ Thanks for the videos

I love you and lennon so much your channel is so amazing 😍😍😍

lennon looks like my bunny except his white spot is in the middle of his chest

Lennon is so adorable

~❤️ THANKS FOR THE HELP, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE HELPFUL VIDEOS~❤️❤️❤️

I really liked your old lennon KZfaq profile Picture 😓

i saw this in my recommended and just yesterday, my friend's bunny chewed her wall! i decided to watch the video and really enjoyed, and my friend doesn't get into any of those problems anymore thanks to you! Lennon is so cute! Love your channel Lorelei and thank you for making these videos!

Lennon is one lucky bunny to have such a great owner and the right food and water bowls etc

Such an cute little Bun Bun!!! :3

I love you i might get a bun bun for my b day dont worry I've done research❤❤❤❤❤ you help me alot and i get bullied and you help😞😊😊😊

Lennon is the cutest thing

Im getting a bunny soon and all of your bunny videos are helping me

What are lennons favorite toys? I buy my bunnies lots of toys and too foften they dont care for them :(

I love you guys! Keep up the good work!!!🤩😍😋

Your bunny is so cute😩💘 I can’t help but go soft just by seeing her, she’s so adorable☹️💘

I jest found ur videos and I was already doing all this including the potty trained 🤣 I have 1 bunny 2 dogs they all get along and they even sleep together 😊 One of my dogs is a Basset hound, and the other is a Beagle. I never not trust them with my rabbit they have separate kennels when I leave, but whenever I let them out, there are always near each other, they always want to sleep together. It's the cutest thing ever🤣😍 FOR SOMEONE READING THIS! Dont assume rabbits and dogs would get along because sometimes instincts do kick in, I just got lucky my dogs see her as another dog

My bunny: Sliding on floor gently falling with 2 back feet-

Curtis isn't too bad about chewing but I still monitor him during "Hopping Around Time". He loves to flop by the heat vent

If you want to block off areas or cords you can use those wooden bridges that are flexible because the sticks are connected with wire. I think it looks better+with a wire fence they could still reach something and also it's a great chewing toy for them as well So at least that's what I always do 🥰😊

I love how u call craiglist love bless u!
