Can house bunnies stay outside in cage?
Yes they can, but you may have to take them out into the backyard for a run around once in a while so they are not stuck in a small cage. (Of course when you let them ou you watch them to make sure they're okay)
Is a rabbit's butt located above its tail?
No, (wow i feel weird typing this) a rabbits butt is just underneath his tail.
Rabbits don't spit out fur unless they first take some fur into their mouths. If your rabbit is pulling out fur, these are the possible reasons:
- Pregnancy
- False pregnancy - something female rabbits do because of their sex hormones, even when they haven't been near a male rabbit. False pregnancies are stressful for rabbits, and stress leads to a low quality of life and even illness, so it's a good idea to spay your rabbit so that it won't go through false pregnancies anymore. There are many good reasons to spay/neuter rabbits.
- Parasites or skin problems - your rabbit should see a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits, because many of the treatments that are safe for cats/dogs are very dangerous for rabbits.
- Stress, extreme boredom - stress leads to a low quality of life in all animals, and can lead to illness or self-destructive behaviour (like pulling out its own fur and worse), so it's important to minimise stress in your rabbit's life. Sickness can also lead to self-destructive behaviour and stress, so you should look for other signs of illness in your rabbit and be prepared to bring your bunny to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits.

What breeds of rabbits does tractor supply sell?

What should you not feed a rabbit?
There are many foods that you should not feed a rabbit. For example, look at the list of known dangerous plants (linked below). If you have a rabbit, you might find it easier to consider what the rabbit should eat, and stick within those boundaries, instead of wondering what the rabbit can't eat (becuase the list is long!). What you should feed them also depends to some degree on what they like.
In general, rabbits shouldn't eat processed human foods, rotten or spoiled foods, seeds, nuts, dairy, meat products or byproducts, grains (with a very few exceptions), light-coloured lettuce, beans, tomato leaves, and dead grass, or processed sugars. Many vegetables, fruits, and rabbit foods are okay (at least in limited amounts), but it isn't recommended to experiment with anything else.
What is the value of a 1970 rabbit fur coat from Berman's?

Can domestic rabbit bucks castrate themselves or each other?
YES!! They will castrate each other and a particularly aggressive doe has been known to castrate bucks also. (This is the reason you put the doe in the bucks cage and stand there and watch and then remove doe after she is bred.)
The short answer is yes.
Although it's unlikely...unless you eat a diet strict of eating only rabbit (Rabbit contains protein. Protein = good in most people's opinion. However, rabbit does not contain anything else the body needs, no fat which the body can use and no vitamins or other nutrients useful to survival.) or the meat is poisoned.
I know that people trying to solve this answer are middle schoolers or high schoolers who are taking Health at ASK. I reallly dont want to help you because you should be using something that is accurate, but here, I have decided to give you the answer. Anways, I did the skeletal system in 7th grade and got a good grade (2010-2011) ok ok ok here! :)
Our body consists of 206 bones that need each need one another to work diligently. There are two types of parts to the skeleton:
- The axial skeleton forms the body's central alignment; its bones are primarily those of support and shelter.
- The appendicular skeleton "hangs from" the axial skeleton; its bones are primarily those of movement.
The axial has 80 bones, including the skull. The appendicular skeleton has 120 bones, including the clavicle. Bones provide the formation that gives the body resistance against gravitation and makes movement possible.
How do you calculate bunny years?
To calculate bunny years, you can use a ratio of 1 human year to 7 bunny years. For example, if a bunny is 2 years old, in bunny years it would be equivalent to 14 human years (2 x 7). This ratio is an approximation and may vary slightly depending on the breed and size of the bunny.
Is cork safe for rabbits to chew on?
One person writes: Cork is a natural wood. Some rabbits may sometimes get a liking to it, and will start to chew on, as well as even sometimes swallow it. If it is untreated, then don't worry of this, your furry friend will be fine.
Another person writes: There is no information online that supports the above opinion. Cork does come from natural wood but it's also a processed material, so you can't say it's safe just because it's "natural." Cork is hydrophobic (water resistant), fire resistant, and elastic -- these properties suggest that it may not break down in the rabbit's belly, and things that don't break down in the belly are always a risk for rabbits, possibly leading to impaction, GI stasis, and death. Although there's no sources online that advise against it, there's also no sources that recommend it, so experts would advise "better safe than sorry": don't let your rabbit chew on cork. See the related questions below for more help.
Yes and no. If you treat them badly, if you have a female and she's in heat, or you don't play with them, Yes. But most of the time, rabbits are very friendly!
Rabbits are normally very friendly, timid animals that wouldn't hurt a fly BUT they will defend their territory to the death. (Wild instinct) Every rabbit should have it's own cage (territory) and rabbits will often object to intruders into their territory (survival of the fittest) Rabbits will bite if threatened and they will scratch if scared. Rabbits are afraid of heights and if dropped will never trust you again and might bite or scratch if you try to pick them up. They will also bite if you squeeze them too tight. Fingers poked thru cages may result in a nip as your hands are salty and smell like food.

Where do dwarf lop-eared rabbits come from?
Depends on the rabbit.
Dutch:Dutch rabbit is from the Netherlands, it was actually developed in England. During the 1830s rabbits were imported to England from Ostend in the Netherlands every week for the meat market. Amongst these rabbits was a breed known as the Petite Brabancon, as it originated from Brabant in Flanders. The Petite Brabancon may still be found in paintings from the fifteenth century. The Dutch rabbit has its genetic roots in this old breed. The Petite Brabancon would often display Dutch markings, and breeders in England selected those with even markings, fixing those markings into the breed we know
English Lop:fancy breed of domestic rabbit that was developed in England, in the 19th century through selective breeding, and is believed to be the first breed of lop rabbit developed by humans[1], and possibly one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbit[2]. Averaging 11 pounds (5.5 kg), the English Lop is characterized by its distinctively long lop ears, bold head and large body size, and can live up to five years or more.
New zealand white:100% American breed despite their name. In 1916, W.S. Preshaw bred the first litter of New Zealand white rabbits with a plan to produce a rabbit that would be excellent for meat and fur trade. The original breeds that were used are unknown, but Angoras are believed to have played some part.
Mini Lop:The Mini Lop is a very popular rabbit breed that is featured in numerous rabbit shows throughout the United States. In the USA, it is the second smallest Lop overall, as well as the smallest non-dwarfed lop. It is a different breed from the Holland Lop, which is the smallest (and only dwarf lop) of lop breeds in the USA. Its equivalent in the UK is the Dwarf Lop; however there is a breed called the Miniature Lop in that area, which is the equivalent of the Holland Lop in the United States.The main characteristics of this breed of rabbit is a short massive-looking body, a big, block-like head, lopped ears, and thick, soft fur. Breeders attempt to make it feel like a basketball with legs, a head, and a tail. Ideally this rabbit should resemble a Bulldog in appearance and tenacity.Bob Herschbach discovered the Mini Lop breed at a German National Rabbit Show in Essen, Germany in 1972, where it was known as a Klein Widder. These first Mini Lops were originated from the German Big Lop and the small Chinchilla. These two breeds came originally in Agouti and white colors.German lops were about 8 lb (3.6 kg), slender and large with thick ears. Herschbach, a Mini Lop promoter, achieved the first procreation of Mini Lops in the United States, mainly through breeding an agouti lop pair and a white female lop in 1972. Their first baby lops were solid colors. A second generation came with broken colors. As a result of the breeding process, they began to obtain a high standard of qualities Mini Lop.
there are alot more types of rabbits and were they come from.
Will a rabbit die if you spray disinffected spray?
Spraying a rabbit with disinfectant spray can be harmful and potentially fatal. Rabbits have sensitive respiratory systems and their skin can also be sensitive to chemicals. It is best to avoid using disinfectant sprays directly on rabbits and instead use rabbit-safe cleaning products if necessary.
How long does a rabbit stay in its mother's belly?
Gestation period for a rabbit is 28-31 days. Most give birth on day 28, you should count from the day of mating and on day 28 your doe will give birth.
The gestation period of a rabbit is 28-32 days after fertilization. When they are born, baby rabbits (also known as "kits") are completely reliant on their mother for nourishment, cleaning and warmth. Kits are born without any fur on their bodies and with their eyes closed, but at around ten days they begin to open their eyes and have grown a short coat of fur.
What is the natural habitat for a mini rex?
Mini Rex rabbits are typically kept as domestic pets, but their natural habitat would be in temperate regions, such as grasslands or meadows. They would thrive in an environment with plenty of space to explore, dig, and forage for food. Additionally, they would need shelter to protect them from predators and extreme weather conditions.

Young ones of birds and animals?
Young birds are called chicks or chickens. Animals have various names for their young.
How often can a rabbit have babies?
Does (female rabbits) can get pregnant the very day they give birth, and gestation lasts about 30 days; so, theoretically, a doe can get pregnant once a month (twelve times a year). Practically speaking, though, no rabbit could sustain this kind of activity for long, as pregnancy and nursing takes a lot of energy.
Why can't you give a bunny a bath?
Bunnies are extremely sensitive to water and stress easily when placed in a bath, which can lead to health complications or even shock. They have the ability to clean themselves through grooming, so bathing is unnecessary and can be harmful to them.
