Care of Rabbits

Yes, the bunny could choke on the gum, or it could lead to digestive upset (and digestive upset can be a serious problem in rabbits, even leading to death). If your rabbit ate gum, watch to make sure it doesn't choke, and thereafter encourage healthy digestion by encouraging water and hay consumption. Be on the lookout for signs of illness and be ready to bring the rabbit to a vet. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

Rabbits can get pregnant as early as 3-4 months old, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 6 months old before breeding to ensure they are physically mature enough to handle pregnancy and delivery.

Grunting quietly is one type of rabbit communication; it means that they're excited (they're playing and happy, and/or sexually stimulated). See the related link below for more info about rabbit communication and body language.

Rabbits are grazers, which means they nibble on food on and off all day long. Pet rabbits like to graze, too: this is one of their natural behaviours, and you can provide for it by giving your rabbit unlimited access to fresh hay, and other safe things to chew on like plain cardboard boxes, a Yellow Pages directory, or the cardboard roll inside toilet paper. This should be provided into addition to two daily meals of pellets and certain fresh leafy green vegetables.

Normally, no. Some people feel safer if they are vaccinated for rabies. If they become sick or injured they might need inoculations of anti-biotics or subcutaneous injections in the case of dehydration.

It is best to leave it alone. The mother rabbit will smell you on the nest and might abandon the babies. If you need to touch a baby first get the mothers sent on your hands, than do only what is needed. She only feeds the babies once every 1 to 2 days. The day they are born she might not feed them but it is normal. They will grow and be fine.

You probably should not move the nest until the babies are about 2 weeks old. She will not abandon them as long as the move is in the same general area and not to a different room. Before you move them or check them in any way wash your hands with unscented soap. You will need to check for dead kits immediately after she gives birth and then once every couple of days. Does are very secretive about feeding their babies and usually feed after dusk and before dawn. You may never see gher feed but can tell they are being fed by their full fat little tummies.

It all depends really. its a bit of risk. Some rabbits and dogs can really get on and love eachothers company were as some can fight and they can bite eachothers hair.

No, rabbits do not typically eat book pages. Rabbits are herbivores that mainly consume vegetation such as hay, leafy greens, and vegetables. It is important to ensure rabbits have a proper diet to maintain their health and wellbeing.

Rabbits have several defenses from preditors:

Camoflage (their coloring blends in with their surroundings),

they can remain motionless, so as not to be seen,

they can run fast and have a long gait,

their hearing is very good, (but the long ears are for cooling their bodies),

they build their homes in places that preditors can't easily access,

and they have very sharp claws with strong hind legs for kicking.

Young rabbits suitable for 'frying' meaning that they are tender. Typically between 4-5 pounds live weight and 8-12 weeks of age. Older, larger meat rabbits are referred to as "roasters" or "stewers" much like chicken is. There are several types of commercial breeds that are used to produce meat and fryer rabbits because they typically produce young that fall into the 3-5 pound range by 12 weeks of age.

It is generally best to have one male and one female rabbit together to avoid potential aggressive behavior that can occur between two males or two females. If not planning to breed the rabbits, it is essential to have them spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters.

A rabbit will first try to hide if it can, if it cannot hide it will try to run. If unable to outrun its predator it may try to fight, but usually at that point its over for the rabbit.
