How do rabbits effect the ecosystem?

Answer 1

The first thing you need to know is:

a) if the wood is treated or painted. If it is figure out how much they have consumed and call your vet immediately. Call first because they will often give you instructions on what you should do and that can save you from costly bills.

b) if the wood is untreated you need to know what kind of wood it is. Google it to see if it is bunny safe. If it is not bunny safe, call your vet for further instruction.

c) if it is untreated, unpainted and not toxic then now look to see that the wood is not rotten or infested. Dispose of rotten or infested wood and call your vet.

Symptoms to look for if your rabbit has consumed bad wood include scours (diarrhea), listlessness, bloating, tummy sloshing, loss of appetite, anxiety or any behavior out of the ordinary.

Remember, if you are ever unsure, call your vet.

Rabbits' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime. Wood can provide an excellent boredom buster that also trims teeth. They will ingest the wood, but as long as it is safe for them, there should not be any detrimental effects.

If you find that your bunny is chewing everything in sight, provide them with a fun and stimulating alternative to your furniture. Rabbits get bored easily and that often leads to destructive behaviors. If they persist, rubbing bar soap on the surface, spraying it with vinegar or using an anti-chew spray for rodents may work.

Answer 2

Answer

Rabbits help it by eating the plants and having a bigger animal eat him/her.

They keep the eco system balanced by playing a part in a food web.

Answer 3

They do good things! Their feces is a good fertilizer so more plant life can grow which provides more food for the herbivorous animals. They are also a good protein source for carnivorous predators.

Answer 4

Yes they can. We have two rabbits who often climb right to the top of our Conifer trees (which are around 3 metres high) - these trees do have very dense branches close together and the structure of the trees is very solid with the branches gently sloping so there are many footholds for the rabbits. Would be interested if anyone else has rabbits who climb trees as we thought it was rather strange behaviour!

OUR 11 WEEK OLD NETHERLAND DWARF CAN CLIMB UP STRAIGHT WALLS HAVE WITNESSED THIS FOR MYSELF.THE OTHER ONE WE HAVE (SAME LITTER) HASN'T ATTEMPTED IT THOUGH

Answer 5

Generally speaking, conifers are dangerous for rabbits. Fresh cedar and pine, for example, are toxic to rabbits. Even heat-treated, processed cedar and pine might be very dangerous for your bunny. It's widely advised to avoid exposing your rabbit to confers. The phenols in confers are toxic to rabbits.
