10 Signs Your Rabbit REALLY Trusts You

I've had my bunny for two years, I don't pick her up often since she dosent like it, but if I have to she's fine with it as long as its a short period of time. I don't typically hold her because I understand her boundaries. However bella (my bunny) loves to be on top of me 24/7, she loves to sleep on my chest or pressed up next to my side. I love my bunny and we have such a great bond <3 I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

One time Bee flopped and then as she fell asleep she started to slowly roll on her back but stopped and one of her back feet was stuck in the air😂

10: They let you pick them up or hold them 9: They forgive you 8: They let you hand-feed them 7: They sleep with or around you 6: They flop around you 5: They don't flinch around you 4: They listen to you when you speak 3: They lick you 2: Their personalities shine around you 1: They view you as their equal

The "they forgive you" one is so true. When they know that they are loved, they shake off the grudges (vet visits). Being sassy and being themselves is def a beautiful thing to see. I wish I'd be at #1 with my bun, not quite there yet. Love your look in this video, btw.

My current bunny is almost 11 years old and he's doing great. He's my 4th indoor bunny over the last 30 years. He's a Broken Rex with velvety fur and incredibly affectionate and does most of what's mentioned in this video. He's not much of a "flopper" but we have a special bond. When you spend the time to get to know your bunny and give them top level care you will reap the rewards!

Oh my gosh, this is making me feel so validated for all the hard work I’ve put in with my rescue bunny!

I love this video and I agree with the forgiveness part. As a bunny parent, you will inevitably make mistakes. Having them acknowledge you and still want you in their life afterwards, is a huge compliment that you should not take for granted--and that applies to pretty much any relationship!

My baby is with me since last Saturday. He is almost 3 months old. This first week together was so strange for both of us, but I guess that we are doing great! I can hand-feed him from the very first time. Now he let's me pet him, also I can hold him. He is a very curious and brave bunny. The potty training goes quite well too! I have to thank you Lorelei for your videos, because you really help me every time. I've been watching them since I decided to have a bunny. You helped me to be prepaired. Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3

Can we just appreciate how much Lorelei does for the bunny community? You've really helped us how to take care of our buns and give them the best life possible. A life that they deserve! Keep up the great work! 👍🥰🐰 BTW, to those who are new to taking care of a bunny. Trust is something you can't demand from a bunny, you have to earn their trust! Rabbits have BIG hearts 💖and they all have very special and unique personalities! They are also PREY animals, so don't hover above them! Spend time with them and be patient with them, and eventually, they will be yours as much as you are theirs. 💖🐰🌈 Hoppy Holidays Lennon, Lorelei and Lennies! 🥳🐰

The fact that my bunny does lots of these, makes me super happy inside ❤

A week ago my husband and I adopted a now 10 week old bunny, and I can’t believe how much she trusts us already 😭❤️ she licks us, lets us pet her, takes naps by us when she’s out (she has to be supervised since she’s little and we have dogs), she’s taken pellets and hay from my fingers, and she doesn’t mind when we walk around near her when she’s out. Your videos have been great for getting her comfortable, thank you so much 😊💕

My bunny literally licks everyone, including new people he just met. He's a very social bunny :) Thank you for this vid Lorelei and Lennon!

Absolutely loved the no.1 reason 😭 makes me so happy because every time I pet my bunny he licks my hand or my face straight back. We also share a banana every Tuesday together, I take a bite and he takes a bite 😁

my bunny actually likes when i carry him. he doesn’t freak out or anything , he stays calm :) and i hand feed him treats and spring mix here and there ! AND he flops ALL THE TIME !! it’s actually funny to me lol ! i’m actually in the process of free roaming him since he knows his way around the whole house :) i’ve had him since he was 8 weeks and he is now 6 months so i think he is comfortable with me and my family 🐰🤎

This makes me feel so good about my relationship with my bun, Chewbacca. She is my first pet rabbit and I have worked so hard to give her the best life and she does nearly all of these things just like you describe. I feel so accomplished as a bun owner. All I've wanted was for her to be happy and feel safe and confident.

My bunny has a huge personality, he’s super sassy but also the sweetest thing! He kisses me 24/7 and will let me pet him while he’s flopped over and he’ll even start grooming my hand🐰❤️

this makes me happy. ☺️ i got a bunny from a sanctuary about 3 months ago. seeing her love and trust me now is so encouraging and strangely emotional. 😂 this video is reassuring we are going in the right direction.

I have a rabbit that I’ve owned for 4 years, I’ve had him since he was 4 months old, and he does every single one of these. He is quite literally my heart and I have never felt as strong a bond or as much love from anyone as I do from him. He grooms me then I groom him, I lay down and he comes and flops right up next to me. I have another rabbit that I haven’t even owned for a year yet and we are still very much in the acquaintance phase. She will let me touch her and she will eat from my hand but she can still be a bit flinchy at times. I don’t think people understand how much work goes into bonding with rabbits. Also, I have a rabbit who was an inbred grey angora (he was a rescue) and he is also Vienna marked! Lovely video, Lorelei!

I've had my bun since he was a month old, now he's huge! He was "raised" by my two cats and now they like to sleep on my bed in a puddle 😂 it makes me happy to know he does all these on the list especially the licks, I worry about being good enough all the time.

I found my rabbit in parking place a 14 months ago. She afraided from me and afraided from every touch. Now I am a halfway of your list. Thank you- it was usefull to know your "Banny trust list"!
