Care of Rabbits

Mostly ground hay and vitamins, but if you look at most petshop-sold pellets you will also see corn, sunflower seeds, baked treats from wheat flour and ground veggies and other industry-modified ingredients. Always consult the ingredient list on packages to make sure there is not too much added components to the hay/vitamins : your rabbit will be healthier and as such, happier!

See the related question below for details about what to look for on the nutritional info label.

Reader Rabbit is a boy, if you've been asking recently.

Hamsters tend to have a stronger odor compared to bunnies, as they have scent glands that produce a musky smell. Regular cage cleaning and proper hygiene practices can help reduce the smell associated with both animals.

Feed the newborn rabbit Rabbit Milk Replacer or you can substitute that with Kitten Milk Replacer ( KMR ) Feed every twelve hours. NO MORE THEN THAT!!! Hold the newborn at a 40 degree angle. Feed 2-2 1/2 ML/CC for 5min.

This is of course if the babies are orphaned. If not then leave them with their mom. If bottle feeding don't forget to stimulate them so that they will go to the bathroom.

if you have a rabbit then hold it and gently place it on your head then tie his feet in your hear or in a tie this might sound cruel but then stroke it and give it what he likes and thenit will relie on you and will stay on for like an hour or even two hours'.

A castrated rabbit is a male rabbit that has undergone a surgical procedure to remove its testicles. This procedure is commonly done to reduce aggressive behavior and prevent unwanted reproduction.

No, unless the other rabbit is a fake one it might chew on it.

Rabbits don't eat meat, they are herbivores which means that they eat only plant material.

No. Rabbits don't eat meat. I have a dad rabbit and one of the babies ears were bit off but i think that the dad didnt eat his ears but i dont know what happened to it.

Sorry. Rabbits CAN eat each another rabbit. I have seen it happen. And, rabbits CAN eat meat. They CAN be carnivores.

You can fatten up your pet rabbit by giving it lots of fruits and veggies.Be careful though, if you give it large pieces it will choke.I know a lot because I have 2 rabbits right now.Hope you like this!

A jack rabbit's ears range from 5.1 to 15 cm, which is equal to 2-6 inches. The reason they are so long is that the extensive network of fine veins is believed to deliver cooling to the animal by radiating heat to the outside.

European rabbits live in burrows, which are underground tunnels and chambers dug into the ground. These burrows provide shelter and protection for the rabbits from predators and harsh weather conditions.

Rust on cages can potentially harm rabbits if they ingest it, as it may contain toxic elements or sharp edges that can injure them. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain rabbit cages to ensure they are safe and free of rust. If rust is present, it should be removed or the cage replaced to prevent any harm to the rabbits.

"LOPs" may refer to "Lines of Position" in navigation, helping to determine an object's position at sea using intersecting lines. It can also stand for "Lactation-Ovulation-Progesterone" cycles in animals, which are important for reproductive physiology. Alternatively, it could relate to "Limited Overs cricket," a format where each team has a set number of overs to bat.

Hi, I suggest you call a veterinarian that treats "exotic" pets and ask for a formula specifically for rabbits. And ask how frequently you should be feeding them. Sometimes a wildlife expert can help you in this area. Try calling Tuft's University ( Foster Hospital for small animals Located in Grafton, MA. They deal with a great deal of "exotic" pets. Good luck!

Rabbits are known for their hopping motion, which allows them to travel quickly and efficiently. They have powerful hind legs that enable them to leap great distances and reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour in short bursts. Rabbits can also run in a zig-zag pattern to evade predators and navigate through their environment.

Yes, rabbits can eat turnip in moderation. Turnips are safe for rabbits to consume as part of a varied diet, but they should not be a primary source of food due to their high water content and potential for causing digestive issues if consumed in large quantities. Introduce turnips slowly to ensure your rabbit tolerates them well.

wow....the answer would be that you were 14... up to 2009 right now!

It's possible that your rabbit is pregnant if she is plucking fur and making a nest. However, the presence of a male rabbit does not necessarily mean she is pregnant, as mating can occur even when the female is not in heat. The best way to confirm pregnancy is through a vet check or by observing signs of pregnancy and behavior changes over time.

Rabbits are grazers, which means they nibble at grass and twigs and weeds on and off all day and night. Pet rabbits (domesticated European Rabbits) also like to graze -- that's why they should always have 100% 24/7 access to hay, so they can graze, and also so they can get the fibre they need to stay healthy (especially important for their teeth and digestion).

Another feeding habit of rabbits is that they love to raid gardens. Rabbits have a "sweet tooth," and because fruit and vegetables are high in sugars, rabbits will gorge on many garden plants. Pet rabbits have lost the instincts to know when enough is enough, so their human owners must strictly limit fruits and vegetables or else the rabbit will make itself very sick. Dark leafy greens, however -- like Romaine lettuce, spinach, basil, carrot tops, dandelion greens, mint, cilantro -- are low in sugars and rich in important nutrients, so it's very healthy for rabbits to eat some of these plants every day.

To make sure they're getting all the nutrients a wild rabbit in its natural environment gets, pet rabbits should also eat a high-quality dried pellet feed that's made especially for rabbits. These pellets can be provided in free form, so the rabbit can graze on them; but, most pet rabbits overeat their pellets, which is very unhealthy (and can make them sick) -- in that case, pellets must be limited.

I am currently on my 5th litter on mini lops. Although i always have a runt in each litter i have only ever had 1 peanut. it only survived around 3 days from birth & was very sad to see it deteriorate. My doe is due to give birth anytime, I will let you know with this next litter.

No, that scenario is fictional and not based on reality. Eating a chocolate bunny named Phil will not cause a man named Robert to come to your house with a Spanish-speaking bunny.

"Bunny boiler" is a slang term that refers to a person, usually a woman, who becomes obsessed with someone to the point of becoming emotionally or physically dangerous. The term originated from a scene in the movie "Fatal Attraction" where a character boils a pet rabbit in an act of revenge.

You don't give a rabbit a bath! They clean themselves.

Some people give their very tame, indoor pet rabbits a bath when it is really hot in the summer. The heat (over 78F/25C) can be dangerous for rabbits, and when it gets hot you must do things to make sure the rabbit stays cool. Baths are one possible way; see the related question below for details.

In any weather, baths can be dangerous, so you should follow certain precautions when letting rabbits in the water. See the related questions below for details and links.

One person writes: My rabbit likes a tepid bath and actually likes swimming around in the water, but mostly she just floats around for about 10 - 15 minutes (actually she might like to stay in longer but I get bored waiting around in the bathroom. I fill the tub up and make sure there is a non skid mat in. She can either touch the bottom or not but it would be best to let them touch so they get used to it.

If you are looking to spend under £50 on a Hutch you might be better buying materials and making one yourself.

Another option would be to look for a 2nd hand hutch through craigslist, freecycle, local papers etc.

Another option is to have the rabbit in the house rather than outside (they make Great Housepets) and then buy a rabbit cage which tend to be cheaper than wooden hutches, but not suitable for use outside the house. Or if you are in the North-East call 07758501991 for good quality rabbit hutches for under 50 pounds.

The average lifespan of a domestic rabbit is typically between 8 to 12 years, although some rabbits have been known to live into their early to mid-teens. The oldest recorded rabbit lived for over 18 years.
