Care of Rabbits

Dwarf Hotot rabbits should be fed a diet consisting mainly of hay, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of pellets. They should also have access to fresh water at all times. Treats such as fruits and occasional snacks can be given in moderation.

Assuming that the rabbit is not a lop earred breed, one may assume that the rabbit has damage to the cartilage in it's ear. OR, if summer time, because of extreme heat the rabbit's ears grow faster than the babies do the cartilage is not strong enough to hold up the heavy ears. In some cases the rabbit will grow into it's ears but some may remain damaged for life

While it is possible for a 10-year-old rabbit to still breed, it is not recommended due to the age-related health risks for both the mother and the offspring. Older rabbits may have difficulty conceiving, delivering healthy kits, or caring for them properly. It is best to consult with a rabbit-savvy veterinarian before considering breeding a rabbit of that age.

A pet rabbit is a living being with physical needs and the ability to interact with its environment, while a cyber pet is a virtual simulation without physical form or biological processes. The rabbit's existence depends on its physical body and life functions, whereas the cyber pet's "life" is based on software programming and user interaction.

I live in Africa, where it's very hot and it's really hard to keep rabbits. 2 of mine already died. But I have one left. All you have to do is bring them away from the mother when they're at least 8 months old, otherwise it's hard to bottle feed them with milk and you have to feed them with salads when they're at least 1 month old. You have to check them for tics and keep grooming them. Make sure that the cage is inside and make sure they have a lot of space to run around. Never let them outside and keep handling them and cut they're nails quite frequent. They lick themselves to get of the warm fur and get some shade for them. Hope this helps.

Yes, hares and rabbits are related as both belong to the same family, Leporidae. However, they are two different genera within that family. Hares are generally larger with longer legs and ears compared to rabbits.

1. Nipples will be more visible. 2. Rabbit will be overprotective (or more protective) 3. Rabbit will whine if you try to pick them up. 4. besides her hair, the rabbit will be tearing up things A LOT ( 4 my rabbit, its a habit but it has to be alot alot aLOTLOTLOTLOT)

They eat the same as any other rabbit: pellets as the main part of their diet with unlimited hay and greens/treats can be given occasionally. For show and brood rabbits, it is often necessary to feed limited amounts of pellet feed. This is to ensure that the dwarf does not become overweight. Pets dwarfs can be free-fed, but again, to have a healthier rabbit a healthy diet amount is recommended.

If your rabbit is acting like that, you should take her to the vet. If she's freaking out every time she lays down, that could be a sign of a serious problem. Make an appointment with your local vet.

Depending on what's wrong with your rabbit, you might be able to save it by bringing it immediately to a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits. You can give the rabbit first aid until the vet takes over - ask people on online rabbits forums for help and advice about your specific case (see links below).

No it is not ok. Brothers and sisters can not mate and have healthy babies. Sometimes they have physical deformities and sometimes they have mental problems. Do not let this happen. The babies will most likely not survive.

Rabbits reproduce through internal fertilization. During mating, the male rabbit (buck) deposits sperm into the female rabbit's (doe) reproductive tract. Fertilization occurs when the sperm fertilizes the doe's eggs, leading to embryo development.

Mother rabbits may chase and bite their babies as a way to discipline them or establish dominance. This behavior is a way for the mother to teach her babies boundaries and ensure they respect her authority. It is also a way for her to protect them from potential threats in their environment.

Male rabbits typically have visible testicles between 10-12 weeks of age. It is essential to make sure not to confuse them with other anatomical structures or health issues, so it's best to consult a veterinarian for a proper assessment.

I have 4 males and 1 female and even though the female has some nice cuddly moments, she can be very grumpy and sometimes even aggressive too. This is most likely because she hasn't had her first litter yet and all her hormones are upside down, but if you get a female rabbit to not breed, she'll probably always be a bit grunty. On the other hand, all the males have not been aggressive (as long as you handle them, care for them etc - give them no reason to be aggressive). They've made lovely and cuddly little friends!

I would advise a male rabbit pet. I'd only tell you to get a female if you were planning on breeding her.

No. Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some fresh greens and high-quality pellets daily, as well as fresh water. Sugars should be strictly limited in a rabbit's diet. Mush and mulch foods are not recommended for healthy rabbits because pellets, being hard, do wear down a rabbit's teeth some (which is important, as a rabbit's teeth are continually growing). See the related question below for more details and helpful links.

They are born ready to eat and drink water on their own. They need to start being weaned at 2 weeks old and fully at 3 weeks old. Males become fully fertile at 3 weeks old and to prevent back breeding, they must be removed.

Lop eared rabbits can typically leave their mother at around 8 weeks of age. At this point, they are usually weaned and able to eat solid foods on their own. It is important to ensure that the baby rabbits are ready to be independent before separating them from their mother.

It depends on how many there are in the litter. Like if there are three she will probably keep it, but if there are six she might abandon it. Remember every mother is different.

My Rabbit killed hers, she had 3 in her litter, and she dragged him out side of the nest!

Still if your mother rabbit is feeding the rabbit, then it is not a runt!

Birds of prey like hawks, owls, and eagles are known to hunt and eat bunnies. These birds have keen eyesight, powerful talons, and beaks that enable them to catch and consume rabbits as part of their diet.

A lionhead rabbit typically has a litter size ranging from 2 to 4 babies, but litters of up to 6 kits are possible. It's important to provide proper care for both the mother and babies to ensure their health and well-being.
