Hey! I totally appreciate this advice girly! Thanks for the tips. Would love to talk personally for further help. on another note and to your viewers, you started your video off showing the clip where I say “this cage was recommended by the pet store owner” and then you cut off the part where I say “that might be wrong but it doesn’t matter because they have this whole room.” So automatically I’m being drawn in a bad light. you also cut out important information in the story about my precious bunny. I mention I was living with my parents, not on my own. It wasn’t up to me how to locate the bunny when it wasn’t my home and my mom was highly allergic. we didn’t know she was allergic to bunnies when me and my ex decided to surprise my family with a bunny. I also mentioned in my story about my old bunny that he too, had a heated bedroom in our garage which was our pet room. still, that situation felt funny to me and my mom and I happened to stumble across an old lady wanting a black bunny because hers ran away who had a bedroom for it and outfits and all. I never posted an add. I also never kept them in that cage! I hope we can keep spreading positivity. I didn’t buy the bunnies because it’s easter. I bought them because I’m finally settled down in my new house and now that I don’t have my mom to worry about, i now have the freedom and ability to be a bunny mom. I agree about adopting and not shopping. I definitely messed up there and clearly I have a lot to learn!!! But just like any new mom, you have to learn. But please let’s not generalize based off of selected clips and not my entire video! Majority of your advice in this video I addressed in my video and those clips weren’t used in this video. but there is still valuable information I am definitely going to apply!! But I really wish you posted the clips where I left more clarity to situations such as the “cage” and my old bunny. Sorry for dissing the community but it’s an absurd amount of hate for someone who is learning to be a mom. I am seeing an exotic vet this week to guarantee they are both boys so we can slay if needed and for a check up because I don’t trust the pet store after everything I’ve read. Thank you for being kind about this, but some people in this community are pure rude and of coarse I’m going to snap! Like any beginner mom, you live and you learn! I also didn’t buy the hutch. But was advised to by the bunny community LOL. Due to this, I don’t think I will be posting my bunnies on my channel because I don’t want to be mislead

Rule #1 NEVER take advice from pet stores period

Other people: *beauty community drama* Me: *_Rabbit community drama_*

i had a pet store employee tell me that I could keep rabbits, hamsters, and ferrets together!! :( They said becuase there all RODENTS!!! umm No Maam :(

As of today she has two fixed bunnies free roaming in a room.

Who knew there was drama in the rabbit community 🤣🤣

At my local pet shop they don’t sell rabbits at easter in fear that people only want them cuz it’s easter😊

Until recently, I always wanted to become a veterinarian until my boyfriend pointed out that I would hate it when I realize how bad some people treat their animals... people forget that we choose them for our pets, but our pets have not chosen us .. treat them with the respect they deserve.

Bunny community .. I didn’t know that was a thing .. wow the internet never fails to amaze me

The pet store told a friend of mine to put his turtle tank IN THE FUCKING STOVE so they have warm water.... so yea never take advice from pet stores

You should have Merch that says“Do not take recommendations from the pet store!”

My rabbit ''Lu'' died after 14 years. He lives the first years in a cage.. I was young and thought Cages are ok for them. I met a friend who has rabbits as well and show me how they live.. free in the house. I was so amazed and rearrange my whole Room to let the bunny out 24/7. Of course the cage was still there for poop and pee but it was open everytime. So he lives over 8 years free and I feel sad that I learn so late about a rabbit live. But he has 8 wonderful free room life ♥

"It was recommended by the pet sto-" Me: imma stop you right there, pet stores also say to put leopard geckos in sand, is that right? No, never listen to them

"I'm trying not to get triggered..." GIRL IM ALREADY TRIGGERED

"rabbits are shy" me looking at my rabbit: u sure ur a rabbit and not a dog lol

Me begging for a bunny: My dad: if u ever get one it’s staying outside in the garden Me: *shows him this video* Him: ok fine if u ever get a bunny it can stay inside Me:😌 ty

When I turn 16 I’m working at a pet store. TO GIVE PEOPLE THE CORRECT INFORMATION

If Gabi doesn’t want to throw the cage away she could take the wire top off and use the base as a litter box for both bunnies! Just an idea❤️

NEVER take recommendations from the pet store. They told me that my guinea pigs could live in a wire bottomed cage! The guinea pigs have a big C&C cage and are living happily now 😊

I would imagine the 7 day health warranty means that if the rabbit is sick and requires a vet checkup or care, the shop will cover the expenses. Rescue shelters often do this too.

I wish all rabbits could be as well treated as Lennon. love the video 😍🐇🐰

I regret the comment I made over 3 years ago. 😕 I forgot about this video until I received an email notification. It doesn't sit right with me... I wanted to delete this comment but it says it will delete all the replies as well. I may still do that, but first I wanted to reply to some of the replies that had a different perspective rather than the dogpile. Since then, I realized that life isn't perfect. Mistakes do happen even if you do your research. My cat died this year suddenly and it broke me. He was a stray before and when I took him to the humane society they told me he had FIV and FelV, they explained it. Everytime his immune system couldn't handle something and he got sick I would go to a vet. Last visit was fall 2021. Everything seemed fine this year until he just died, he didn't act sick at all. I knew he wouldn't live long as other cats but I didn't realize how few years that would be and I thought I would see the signs leading up to his last moments. But nope. He was acting normal the following night and next morning he passed. So seeing that email notification and reading what I wrote along with most of the replies agreeing with me was salt in the wounds... mainly me saying "it's a living thing, not a laptop, you don't know what it's going to do *or if it's sick*" I rewatched this video and I have a different perspective now. She only had the bunnies for a few days...She used the information she was given. When she takes the bunnies to the vet she will have more information of proper care. She has financial resources to do so and can give those bunnies a lavish life. The self righteousness wasn't necessary and I had a rude awakening to mine.

Im so glad my pet store tests your knowledge on the pet you get before actually adopting the pet.

Lorialy : pet stores are evil. Gaby : it's the world's heaven.

Her: the pet store employees told me it’s ok *goldfish in 5 gallons, bettas in cups, birds in tiny cage, cats from mills, Leonard geckos that are half starved to death, ferrets who are in a tiny cage they can barely run in, bearded dragons who are half starved and beaten up, hamsters housed together, and chinchillas stare in horror*

I adopted a pair of elderly rabbits when I was about 10 and they had free range of my room the only time they were in a cage was when I was picking up the room they had some great golden years

I have a rabbit though I live in a two story house so I taught my rabbi to climb stairs. Srry for weird comment, I’m only 8 yrs old. I love your channel. 🐰🐇

When they said “ducks and chicks for Easter” I can tell they were at tractor supply and at tractor supply they have a sign on the chicks that say “I’m living chick not a fuzzy gift”

i literally didn’t even know there was a rabbit community

I feel like your the Brad mondo of bunnies lol

Thank you so much for all you do on this channel and trying to help the bunny's. Lennon is one of the most adorable rabbits I've ever seen.

Can I just say how heart warming it is how you care so much for bunnies and other animals

If you think that the bunny community is ruthless the CHAMELEON COMMUNITY will rip you a new one lmaooo

*Research has left the chat*

I got a bunny one week ago and since that I've been watching all your videos in order to learn the best way to raise my bunny :) ❤️ lots of love for you. Ps. I'm following from Portugal 🇵🇹

I love the help you give to everyone. Actually, watching this I have to be honest, I did everything wrong when I was a little girl and I had a bunny. So happy your informing people ❤

My friend told me that the pet store told her to give her bunny a bath with WATER! Um, no. Never listen to the pet store people.

I think Gabi meant "treating item like dogs" as in giving them as much attention as you would give dogs

Hii !! I LOVE Your channel ur such an great inspiration for animals especially rabbits pls keep doing more videos ; )

I am here in 2021 and I have a beautiful Holland lop and since watching you lead up to the point of me getting my bunny , I have been able to give her the best home ever with lots of space no cage , proper care and everything she deserves , thank you❤️❤️

I found your channel 6 months ago and I know for a fact that you deserve more subscribers.

She didnt want to show her bunnies off on yt bc someone in her comment section told her some bad advice about her hamster and it passed away

Amazing video! I thought it was so cool how you were talking about what is right and how they can improve because I think that would very helpful.

So so happy I found your channel! Every time I watch a video I make a note on what I could be doing better for my little bun Luna and get to fixing it ASAP. Especially as she’s getting bigger I’ve been making changes to evolve with her.

Im like:...this is the cage...MY HAMStERS CAGE IS EVEN BIGER

Only 10 seconds in and already screaming NUUUUUUUUU

Me: *watching* One of my guinea pigs: *sQuEaK* Me: SHHHHH GO TO SLEEEPPPP Lol still don’t know why I watch this channel lol I have 2 guinea pigs, but I can’t stopp

I really like how you approached this topic Lorelei. You in my humble opinion were straightforward and direct, but kind when talking about this other KZfaqr's video. I found it helpful and learned a lot about what not to do for the new bunny that I plan on getting soon. Thank you for stepping up and speaking out, when you know more you are able to do better with that knowledge. ❤

She’s like: “the pet store says that it’s fit for-“ Me: stop right there the pet store says hamsters need friends

After I watched your video I tossed my cage and let him free roam. Thank you so much you were a big help my bunny 🐰 is the happiest he could be now thanks to you

This is the first ever time when someone reacts to someone else’s pet care the person the KZfaqr is reacting to responds With thank you for helping

i love watching lorelei i get so much advice for my bunny

Also, can we get some “Rabbit Patrol” merch?

7:48 Jesus, i use that castle for my *dwarf hamsters*

Y'all have changed my bunny's life we I didn't know anything about bunnies but I started to research and found lennon the bunny. My bunny cuddles used to live in a tiny cage but now she has a huge ex pen thanks to you. She is a super happy bunny and even jumps in my lap. You and lennon are my favorite KZfaqrs in the whole world. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!! Please do a bunny makeover!! I would totally love to see that! :)💗

It is so important to educate people about animals/bunnies. It is not an attack, but if people are open heartet for usefull critics, the world can be a better world for pets all over the world. 😍😍😍

Proud mommy of a free roaming bunny! It’s definitely very rewarding! I love waking up to whiskers on my face and having my sweet Willow dance around my feet and give me bonks to get me to give her snugs throughout the day 💕

My bun Noah was an Easter Bunny. I had him from my freshmen year of high school, all the way till about two years ago. I had him from 13 to 20. He was my best friend. I loved him with my entire heart. 🥺

Gabi: “we are spoiling the crap out of these bunnies” Me: 😂 haha good one

Watching this while sitting with my bunnies🥰 They’re such lovely and gentle creatures.

‘Don’t mess with the rabbit community’ - Lorelei Carlson

I love your videos and they give me alot of advice

your video's are so helpful

I am actually getting a bunny this Saturday. I started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and have gained so much knowledge on bunnies. Thank you so much for helping me learn more about these unique animals. I know before watching your videos I would think to put them in a cage but at this point I have made my home a free roam for my new baby!!! I will continue to watch you videos as I raise my new baby bunny❤️❤️❤️

I want to bunny proof my house, but I can’t. So I don’t get a cage, my family purchased a large play pen. And let’s him outside for 3 hours a day. He is new and we are trying our best to give him as much space as possible

I love your videos and I love you!!!

hi! thank you for this information it also helped me! 😁

Ugh I’m so glad you take great care of Lennon💗 she did absolutely no research.

Gabi: I aM sPoIlInG mY bUnNiEs *Sis I-*

I totally love Lorelei !! I have 2 bunnys and love her advices

You are so kind!

I honestly think she meant she was buying an outdoor hutch for them to play in while supervised and not to live out there. I also don’t think she meant she’s literally going to treat them like dogs - just love them like you would do a dog. That’s just what I got from it though and I see her lack of knowledge in this too.

Yes give her a bunny makeover!! Love that idea

Ily so MUCH you have helped me make my bunnies happy. He is now 9 years old thank you! 😚

THE QUEEN IS MAKING ANOTHER VIDEO!!!

I want to point out that the place that Gabi is shopping for hutches is at a farm store called Tractor Supply. The baby ducklings and chicks are not for sale for Easter as a cute gift but are instead for sale for small scale farmers and for those who are poultry enthusiasts. For those of us who are poultry owners, we get chicks in the spring so that they are fully grown by the time that the weather might start to turn bad. It's for the welfare of the whole flock to have chicks in the spring vs any other time of the year. You cannot buy less than 6 chicks almost anywhere in the US in order to prevent impulse Easter purchases. If some place is selling dyed chicks or is breaking the minimum purchase laws in your state then I strongly urge you to report it to the proper authorities. Those of use in the chicken community, farmers included, are the ones who have to deal with the mess of impulse buys and we genuinely wish that people get do research before even considering getting a chicken.

I remember when I wanted a bunny, I always thought get a cage, some hay and bedding. Then I started watching you and learned a bunny is not the right pet for my life. Thank you for making this video. My friend really wants a bunny we are watching this together. She knows so much about rabbits, she sounds like and expert that went to college to be an expert. Also you are my favorite KZfaqr ever!! 😍😍

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

Love your makeup by the way

But then again she's just a beginner and she'll learn stuff gradually so we don't need to apply pressure upon her but we can show her the correct path!!! And which means the problem is solved!! By the way where's Lennon? love your adorable pet along with the channel💖💕💞

You helped me so much during my process of adoption. It’s been complicated to take care of my two bunnies when I was so badly advised and I couldn’t thank you enough for this precious help you provided me ! Now I can proudly say that I have two happy bunnies running and jumping all over my flat, giving me and my partner more love that we could possibly ask for. 🐰🐰At first, it’s hard to face the idea that as parents for our pets, we have made mistakes but our real power is to know that we can always do better and that it doesn’t make us horrible parents what so ever. I hope gabi will listen to you and get that this doesn’t mean in any way that she isn’t a good parent for her bunnies ❤️ (I’m french so sorry if I made some mistakes)

Great advice. Always learning.

hey lorelei tanya here i think your channei is the best channel i got my rabbit from a pet store that gets all their animals from a rescue i love lennon the bunny

If you’re uneducated on any type of animal, you shouldn’t get that animal. Oof.

To be fair on her she really is trying and the cage isn’t permanent she is upgrading the room to make it better

“By the pet store” Yeah a pet store employee told me that it was fine to keep 5 geckos together. 4 geckos died.

Love 💕 your bunny ideas.

Can you help convince my dad that bunny's live inside and should free roam

That cage isn't even big enough for 1 guinea pig.

❤I love Lennon, Resee bun buns is my new rabbit I rescued from deplorable conditions and now he is a free roam rabbit in an area of my home because I have 5 cats!! Thank you for all the information!! Being a newbie in the bunny community I have used a lot of your advice!

Thank you so so much you help me learn so much about bunnies and I know that if I get a bunny it will have a good life all thanks to you, you are amazing I love you.

So glad you're spreading awareness Lorelei! 😊

I did get my bunny as an impulse buy with my ex and once we broke up I had to leave her with him but was able to get her a few months after... did full on research of what type of hay to get her, treats, type of bedding and everything cause come to find out he got to the point of feeding her chocolate and worse 🤦🏻‍♀️ so she’s a year now and super happy... she has the house to herself and is super happy and I love her so much. She even kisses my nose and face lol

Hi! I love your videos and Lennon. I'm getting a bunny tommorow and I watch all you videos! I love your videos so much! I wish u the best if luck!

I just got my bunny Susan Persephone M and connected with her instantly! Thank you for helping me prepare for her!

When I go to a pet store and they tell me what to do Me at store: yep, sure, hmmm, ok, Me at home: hell no I not doing what they said. LIES LIES THEY TELL ME

This really needs to stop. People are so misinformed about rabbit care and we really need more people like you to educate others who do not know what true rabbit care is.

Also i wanted to tell you that i watch your videos with my bunny whenever the bunny see's your face he starts to like you more like like the screen : )😂😂

I am addicted to your show
