Okay sorry i keep seeing this Video and i gotta say it makes me angry.
This is NOT cute behavior.
1. I dont like the cage. Its not bunny-friendly. I See plastics and nothing to chew on. I think the thing with the grid is the toilet? Thats bad for the feet. Not good for sitting and can cause injury if the bunny gets stuck. Would be better with soft wood -chip bedding, No grid.
Also what IS that cage. If its opened all the time okay, If Not its WAY too small.
Sidenote: I see cutesy stiled Bunny cages way too often. Yeah they can work but honestly? Bunnies are high-energy and very destructive. Give them sticks to chew on, no plastics. It will be messy sometimes. They will destroy stuff. They dont really care about neatly colored blankets and pink squeaky toys.
2. I dont see another bunny. So it lives alone. Bunnies are group animals and should be held at least in pairs. Thats not a preference, its a must.
3. The food. Pellets is not a good option. They are often too c Kƶalorie dense. Its basically dry, pressed (bad quality) hay. So they soak up water INSIDE the bunny and can cause long term damage. Bunnies should mainly be eating good hay (just hay, not pressed into pellets) and fresh vegetables and leafy greens. Low calorie stuff. Their digestive system needs almost constant intake because unlike humans the stomach does Not move. In order for the food to pass through the digestive system it needs to be pushed by the new food. If the food is too calorie dense the Bunny stops eating and the digestive system STANDS STILL. That can become an emergency in a few hours. Like many herbivores they have a very complicated digestive system. Caecotrophy being the key word here.
4. The speed of the Bunny. Listen i worked with bunnies for years and i met some that can be really motivated when it comes to food. But this is too much. Talking 3. into consideration i can imagine that feeding time is maybe 1-3 Times a day. Bunnies should have access to food (and water) CONSTANTLY. If you look at herbivores in the wild you will see them eat like 80% of their time awake. Thats normal, thats healthy, THATS HOW THEY WORK. They eat low calorie food. Most herbivores are some categorie of ruminant animal btw because of that. Stop trying to apply rythms fitting for maybe dogs or cats to bunnies.
Im so sick of seeing people posting bad animal handling and keeping like this. Every pet is a lot of work and as the owner its your responsibility to educate yourself. Especially bunnies are not easy pets but for fucks sake, do better.
