Care of Rabbits

Giant lop rabbits are known to have a gentle and friendly nature, making them less likely to bite compared to other rabbit breeds. However, like all animals, they may bite if they feel threatened or scared. It's important to provide proper handling and socialization to minimize the risk of biting.

Dogs take care of their puppies just as any human mother would. They feed their puppies milk, they make sure they don't stray from the litter, they separate two or more puppies when they are fighting and also clean their puppies by licking them. Dogs are also fiercely protective of their young ones and do all they can to ensure their safety, just like our parents do.

Rabbits can be found in various habitats around the world, including forests, meadows, grasslands, and deserts. They tend to stay close to their burrows, which provide shelter and safety. The range of a rabbit can vary depending on the species and available food sources in their environment.

The Dead Rabbits were a prominent Irish American street gang in New York City in the mid-19th century. They were known for their rivalry with the Bowery Boys gang and their involvement in the infamous Five Points Gang Wars in Lower Manhattan. The Dead Rabbits gained recognition for their distinctive dress style, which included wearing red shirts and black velvet hats adorned with a dead rabbit.

Painting a rabbit hutch can help protect it from weather damage, prolong its lifespan, and make it easier to clean and sanitize. Additionally, using pet-safe paint ensures the health and safety of the rabbits living inside the hutch.

It depends if the female is going through her 'menstrual' cycle at the time of mating. Also if either the male or female is spayed it is unlikely the female is pregnant.

A female rabbit is basically 'in season' all the time. As far as a menstrual cycle goes, I don't know where you got that term. It is not a rabbit term. Sometimes breeding with the moon is your best bet for large litters.

If the rabbit is not moving, breathing, or showing any signs of life, it is most likely dead. You should contact a veterinarian or an animal control center for assistance. It's important to be cautious when handling animals in distress to prevent any potential harm to yourself.

First of all, you have to check them for any maggots, fleas, or ticks. If they do have them, then you should go to the nearest vet immediately. Then, once at the vet, you should ask the vetrinarian to help you take them out. Also ask him/her to make sure if they have broken bones, diseases, (especially anything contagious), and let them do their work. Once they are done, if they had diseases, let the vetrinarian give them medicine. For the more serious cases, you problably should be waiting outside the door so you don't get infected.

If your rabbit is panting heavily, she may be ill, or she may just be exhausted from running around. Whenever you're concerned your rabbit may be ill, observe her health and behaviour for signs of illness (see related question below for details). If you think your rabbit is ill, bring it to the vet -- better safe than sorry!

I was told NOT to feed them Lettuce and cabbage. My lop eared rabbit just loved peaches. When he got through with one, all you would have was a very dry pit and he would have an orange beard. iceberg lettuce...it will give it diarrhea

You can buy a rabbit at a pet shop or a private breeder where you will find on trade it, Friday ad and free ads also many more i would recommend a private breeder as at a pet shop you cant see what you are buying and are normally very big but with a private breeder you can see the parents.

Yes, bunnies are prey animals, meaning they are often hunted by predators in the wild. Their natural instincts include staying hidden, running quickly, and burrowing to escape from potential threats.

Technically you could but it's not good for the rabbit because it is harder for them to walk on and is very bad for them to ingest. I use wood shaveings from a pet store. You can ge a large bag for a reasonable price.

Well it usually takes a couple months not very many so if you have a boy and a girl rabbit i would separate them before the women rabbit gets pregnet by the male rabbit so i would do it quickly before you have another litter and it happens again! and that wouldn't be very fun! would it?

The name of the short tail of a rabbit, hare, or deer is known as a SCUT xx

A barren ewe was often called Sunday Dinner.

Rabbits enjoy a variety of herbs including parsley, basil, cilantro, mint, dill, and oregano. These herbs provide a tasty and healthy addition to their diet, but should be given in moderation to prevent digestive issues. Make sure to introduce new herbs slowly to see how your rabbit reacts.

Yes, a 9-year-old male boxer can still mate and reproduce, but it is recommended to consult with a veterinarian to ensure the dog is healthy enough for breeding at that age. Older dogs may have reduced fertility and breeding a male dog at an advanced age can also increase the likelihood of genetic abnormalities in the offspring.

Newborn rabbits will probably start to grow their hair at 2-3 weeks old.But if you have a hare ( A cousin related to the rabbit) the hares will already have fur on their body when they are first born.

Rabbits are a long term commitment as far as pets go, living up to 10 years or more. When cared for properly they are very much like a cat or a small dog with energy, personality and the need to socialize.

In order to provide a healthy and happy living environment you will need the following:

1. a vet specializing in exotics: your rabbit should be spayed or neutered and have yearly exams

2. a cage: it should have a solid floor and be large enough for you rabbit to completely stand up and at least long enough for your rabbit to stretch out (if your rabbit will be confined to it's cage for a large portion of the day it should be much, much bigger!)

3. a water bottle:

4. a food dish: a heavy ceramic one is best so it doesn't get tipped over as easily

5. pellets: a rabbit's diet should consist of only 1/8 - 1/4 cup of pellets each day

6. timothy hay (not alfalfa): rabbits should have access to an unlimited supply of hay each day and this should be the bulk of their diet

7. fresh fruits and veggies: not all fruits and veggies are good for bunnies so check first, of course leafy greens are best but a small amount of fruit makes a wonderful treat

8. a litter box(s): rabbits are usually litter trained and with minimal effort will pick a spot they like to go in and use it consistently

9. litter: never use pine or cedar shavings as bedding as if ingested it can cause serious health problems for your rabbit (CAREFRESH & FELINE PINE are the best out there)

10. x-pen: your rabbit should have several hours a day outside of it's cage for play and exercise (I have several that I attached together and ran around the perimeter of the room so my bunny can run free all day long. It's covered in fabric so she doesn't have any access whatsoever to electrical cords)

11. toys: bunnies can be just as destructive as dogs if they are bored. keep them busy and happy with a variety of toys so they can chew and dig to their heart's content. Some great toys are: a cardboard multi-level house, wicker baskets and tunnels, cardboard cement tubes, hay balls, apple tree twigs, toys that rattle or have bells, a plastic treat ball (similar to a kong dog toy), and lots of chewing toys (check out rabbit supply websites for some great ones)

12. time: make sure you spend time with your rabbit esp. if you only have one, they are social creatures and love to be petted and groomed

13. bunny proofing: don't forget to bunny proof! bunnies can get into anything and they can jump higher than you think. They will chew through cords (and even plastic cord covers) so check daily; they will eat paper, candy, chocolate, plastic, paint, base boards, carpets, etc... so keep as much of it out of reach as possible or don't get too attached to it to begin with.

I hope you are planning on having a "house" rabbit who can run free at least the majority of the day as they will provide you with hours of entertainment and they will have a much higer quality of life. Also, if you havne't already please, please, please do your homework and research the house rabbit society -they offer a wealth of knowledge and can hook you up with a local chapter if you have questions or are looking to adopt. GOOD LUCK!

You could name the boy rabbit Finn, as it complements the nature theme of Clover while also being a cute and fitting choice for a rabbit. Finn and Clover make a lovely pair of names for your rabbits.

This could indicate a serious health issue such as injury or illness. It is important to seek immediate veterinary care to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment to help your baby bunny recover.

Tutankhamun was born in Egypt around 1341 BC during the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom period.

No, rabbits are incapable of slithering. Slithering is a characteristic movement of animals like snakes and some lizards, not rabbits. Rabbits move by hopping or running using their powerful hind legs.

The length of time a rabbit lives depends on many factors.

At the top of the list is whether it is a wild or a domesticated rabbit. Rabbits in the wild may only live for two years due to predation by other animals. Domesticated rabbits that are well cared for may live up to 10 years, or even longer. Some have been known to live to 18 years. However, if the rabbit is fed the wrong type of food, or not kept in clean conditions, it is unlikely to live this long.

Another factor is the species of rabbit. Dwarf breeds are more likely to live longer than the large breeds.
