Can newborn rabbits live in the winter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wild rabbits generally know when it's safe to have their babies. If wild rabbits are having babies in the winter, that probably means they're surviving; if they aren't having babies in the winter, that probably means they wouldn't survive if they did.

Pet rabbits need to be kept safe and warm. They especially need to be kept dry, with good shelter from rain and snow. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (or 10 Celsius), they need a shelter that keeps them warm. See the question below about temperature for details.

In colder weather, rabbits use more energy, and because breeding takes a lot of energy too, winter isn't a good time to breed your rabbits. If you have baby rabbits in the winter, bring them inside with the nursing mom. See the related link below for more info.

Do rabbits eat rose bush leaves?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, rabbits in the wild will readily eat roses, both the flowers and leaves of the plant. In fact rose buds are particularly sweet and succulent, and even humans occasionally enjoy them. However, the leaves are somewhat more fibrous than many other plants and are most likely harder for a rabbit to digest.

Since there are several more easily digested and nutritious plants and vegetables readily available, rose leaves are lower on the list of items one would regularly feed to a pet rabbit. If yours happens to like them, there's no reason why the occasional sprig of fresh leaves wouldn't be a welcome addition to their diet.

How active is a pet cottontail rabbit?

User Avatar

Asked by Splashstorm

As pets, Cottontail rabbits are much less active than domestic pet rabbits. They don't like to be caged, but when they are out of their cage they just sit there. They don't play with toys and generally don't walk/run around a lot.

If you have a shy Cottontail, he would sit in places where he is hidden. A non-shy rabbit will occasionally sit out in the living room with the family.

What should you feed baby bunnies while their eyes are still shut?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A rabbit that young is unlikely to survive without its mother. It is very difficult to hand-rear baby rabbits: it requires experience and skill. If it's a domestic rabbit, you feed it KMR (kitten milk replacer); if it's a wild species, you feed it goat's milk. See the related link below for details.

Why do rabbits like grass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wild rabbits like grass because it's sweet, nutritious, and high in fibre. Pet rabbits like fresh grass too, but it's not as good for them as hay (dried grass), because fresh grass can have parasites on it, and dried grass is higher in fibre. Other from grass, wild rabbits eat other things high in fibre, like twigs and woody weeds; because pet rabbits don't eat these things as often as wild rabbits, hay is better for them than fresh grass. Hay should be available in unlimited amounts (just like grass is for wild rabbits) so that pet rabbits can "graze" on and off all day long (just like wild rabbits do -- grazing is a natural rabbit behaviour, and all pets are happier and healthier when they're allowed to engage in natural behaviours). See the related question below for more info about a healthy pet rabbit diet.

How heavy are adult rabbits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Domestic rabbits come in many different sizes, everywhere from dwarf to giant. As one would expect, dwarf rabbits are much smaller in size than standard rabbits; adults of this breed generally range from only 1 to 3 pounds. Standard rabbits have a wider range of sizes, depending on the specific breed, but adults commonly average from 4 to 8 pounds. And then there's breeds like the Flemish Giant, adults of which weigh in anywhere from 14 up to a whopping 22 pounds.

How many babies do new zealand rabbits have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each breeding season, which occurs between June and March of the following year, a kiwi lays one large egg (about six times the size of an egg from another bird of the same size) then, 24 days later, lays another egg. The second egg is beginning to develop as soon as the first is laid. On rare occasions, a kiwi may lay a third egg.

The kiwi can lay only one egg at a time, as the egg is huge - about 15-20% of the kiwi's total body weight.
