Do holland lop bunnies need to be cleaned every day?
They do not need to be bathed. If they are shedding you should groom them. If they are dirty, then they need to be cleaned. Make sure their cage is kept clean.
Needs help.... why does rabbit started to make noises at us when going into her hutch?
Rabbits are very territorial. She is warning you to stay out of her hutch. Has some one hurt her, dropped her or something??? Sometimes if they are bred they will not want you messing with them or being in their hutch.
I want to know What is the rabbit environment?
A wild rabbit's environment is usually woods, fields or somewhere where it is safe for them to make a home for the babies. A pet rabbit's environment should have (if well looked after ) a secure hutch with clean straw (always), water supply, food and most of all should be loved and cared for all its life !
How do you make a large cage with a hutch for a flemish giant rabbit which It needs to be big and not be raised so it can be transported around on the lawn and have no wire on the ground?
Impossible. Your rabbit will dig out.
What might you put a rabbit in?
If you have a big open space or back yard you should purchase a rabbit hutch or if you wish to keep your rabbit indoors you should purchase a rabbit cage. Whatever you do, make sure you keep the rabbit safe! Rabbits need exercise daily, but there are many dangers to them both inside and outside. It's up to the rabbit owner to control the rabbit's environment. For details, see the related questions below -- they have lots of information and helpful links.
What do you do if your rabbit jumps on to the hutch roof and likes grass?
JumpingJumping up on high surfaces ("climbing") is one way that rabbits play. Not all rabbits like to "climb" but some do.If you see your rabbit jumping up on high surfaces (like the hutch roof), make a mental note: your rabbit likes to climb!It's important to provide your rabbit with enjoyable games/toys and outlets for her energies and interests. Look around your home for safe things your rabbit might climb on and put them in her run (or pen, or territory -- wherever it is you let your rabbit out to play, exercise, and socialize daily). Consider turning your rabbit's hutch (or cage, condo, etc.) into a two-level hutch, or putting something inside the hutch your rabbit can climb on. (Your rabbit's hutch should be roomy enough to accomodate a few toys like this. If it isn't, and your rabbit spends more than 12 hours a day in it, it's too small: get a new hutch.)If your rabbit jumps somewhere unsafe, calmly and securely pick her up and put her back on the ground. Don't yell or do anything that might startle the rabbit. Next, think of some way to prevent her from jumping there again (for instance, by blocking off the area somehow).Whenever you lift a rabbit, make sure you support the hind legs. Never lift a rabbit by the ears. Never lift a rabbit by the scruff of the neck alone: the hind legs must always be supported. (A bunny who's hind legs aren't supported can kick out hard enough to break her own back!).GrassGrass is fine for pet rabbits to eat, so long as they're also eating a healthy diet of plenty of hay (unlimited amounts; 24/7 access), high-quality (high-fibre, low-protein, low-fat) pellets daily, fresh greens daily, and few-to-no treats.Risks associated with fresh grass include pesticides and other poisons, and parasites. Always keep your rabbit away from areas where pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and other poisons have been used. If your rabbit is an outdoor rabbit, be very careful about parasites: learn about the various signs and symptoms, look for them closely every month, and have your vet test the rabbit's feces at least once a year.
Why do rabbits throw there dishesout?
My rabbit does this all the time its usually because hes bored and wants to play with something. why not try some rabbit toys or putting cardbored tunnels in there hutch or you could hide some of his food under some hay in his hutch just to make meal time more interesting
What does it mean when rabbits thump their feet?
It means that the rabbit is scared. Try obsevering what you do to make it scared. Some times my rabbit is scared to come out of her hutch, so I leave her alone for 5 minutes. You should also get into a schedule, rabbits then get excited when you pull out the fresh food! Not that, but if you start playing with a tennisball when it is little the rabbit will like it when he/ she gets older!
What should you know before spaying your rabbit?
Before you spay your rabbit, you should know how: much the spay will cost, it will make your bunny not give birth anymore, it will make your rabbit live longer, and it will make your rabbit be HAPPY!
How do you keep your baby rabbit warm outside its got a hutch?
Baby rabbits should be in a nest with the rest of the litter, inside the hutch. The babies are kept warm through their combined body heat. The mother should be with them in the hutch because she needs to feed them (with her milk) - this also keeps them warm. If you have an orphaned baby rabbit, you should keep it inside with you because it needs special care. It's not easy to hand-raise rabbits. For the sake of the rabbit, contact a local wildlife rehabber or rabbit rescue agency and ask for help. Cold weather is a stress on rabbits, and so is reproduction. To limit your rabbit's stress, don't breed her in the winter - only in good weather. Pet rabbits are most comfortable between 50-75F (10-23C). If your rabbit gives birth in the winter, make sure they're all safe and warm. The hutch should be completely dry (protected from rain and snow), and it should face away from the wind. When it gets lower than 50F (10C), all rabbits benefit from having a "nest" box inside their hutch (even if they're not breeding). Put hay in it, too - here they can go to snuggle in and warm up. When it gets lower than 40C, rabbits need to come inside where there's artificial heating. See the related links/questions below for more details.
Where is a good climate rabbits?
The climate for pet rabbits:Rabbits should be kept warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In the winter make sure your rabbit has splenty of hay or straw and try to purchase a hutch hugger which is available from most pet stores. In the summer make sure you take the hutch hugger off and give your rabbit plenty of water to drink. Rabbits can die if they are to cold or too warm. Contact your vet if you need more information on keeping your bunny safe in weathers or try other websitses & info books about rabbits.
Is it possible for a fox to breed with a rabbit?
It probably can't actually get into the hutch unless there is a hole/gap in the wire front or something, or if the catch on the door is loose. However the fox doesn't actually need to get into the hutch to harm the rabbit, just the fact that the rabbit can see or smell (or even hear) the fox could cause it to become frightened or shocked. Rabbits can actually die from fright so be very careful to make sure the hutch is in an area where a fox can't access it. If you really care about keeping the rabbit from harm you could consider keeping your rabbit indoors, if not as a permanent "house rabbit" then you could at least keep it inside overnight.
