Can you feed your rabbit guinea pig food?

You can. Rabbit pellets and guinea pig pellets are essentially the same thing. Guinea pig pellest usually have vitamin C included in their ingredients...which is an essential vitamin for a guinea pig to consume. Other animals, like rabbits, horses etc, make their own vitamin C but guinea pigs don't, so like us, they need to consume it by eating things like apples. My recommendation is that you buy guinea pig pellets; rabbits can eat them as well and you make sure your pig is getting what it needs.

How does rabbit sound?

Why are rabbits endangered?

Well, they can be a great mess and must be cared for properly. I know that because I have a rabbit. It also might be hard to get a professional vet for him/her because not many people know everything there is to know about these furry creatures. And cats, dogs, raccoon waste, poisonous plants, noisy children, all these things and some more are bad for a rabbit. Obesity can be fatal too. But rabbits are cute, friendly, and are great companions for a bad day, or good days too. I recommend that you get "Rabbits for Dummies" if you are getting a rabbit. I learned a lot from that book.

How is a rabbit useful to humans?

They can hurt you if you aren't careful. It may take up to a month to gain a rabbits trust. My bunny has bit me and scratch me as a form of defense. It sometimes made me bleed. But once you get to know a rabbit they are generally loving.

Can rabbits survive after a broken back?

Sadly, probably not. A friend of mine's rabbit jumped out of his arms and hurt its leg real bad that the rabbit had to be put down. So, no, probably not.

It really doesn't have to be a "long height": falling even a short distance can permanently disable (even kill) a rabbit. Rabbits just aren't built for that kind of activity (unlike cats, who naturally climb tall heights, like trees, so then need to be able to land safely when they jump down; wild rabbits, on the other hand, spend their whole lives on the ground).

Rabbit bones are weak, in comparison to other animals: they break easily! It's not always possible to heal them, either: sometimes it means the rabbit has to be put down.

This is one reason why you shouldn't pick up your bunny: they don't usually like it, so they struggle, and then it's very easy to drop them. And never throw your rabbit as a game! This can be fun with cats (if the cat enjoys it), but never a rabbit. If you do have to pick up your rabbit, be very careful. You have to learn the right way to do it, because the wrong ways all result in injury. Do research online and talk to your vet for advice.

Old-age rabbits (older than 6) can suffer serious injury even just by jumping down from the sofa. This is why it isn't always safe to let your rabbit roam free in your home. "Bunny-proofing" is an ongoing activity that might change as your bunny ages, so don't become complacent! Always be on the lookout for potential dangers.

Always be extra careful if you have your rabbit on a platform (for example, the exam table at the vet's): be sure to minimize stress (so your rabbit doesn't panic or startle), and keep your hand on the bunny's body so he can't jump or fall off.

How many babies can Dutch rabbits have?

Breed doesn't make a big difference when it comes to pet rabbit reproduction, although size does play a factor.

Dutch rabbits are generally about 4-5 pounds, so they have the same size litters as other rabbits of that size: that's around 6-8 babies.

Rabbits can get pregnant as soon as they've given birth, and pregnancy lasts about a month, so if you aren't careful, you're possibly looking at 100 new rabbits per year!

Make sure you can find responsible homes for all your rabbits before you let them breed. Consider all the rabbits wasting away in shelters, too.

Can rabbits eat choi sum?

Pak choi and other chinese cabbages, like most all cruciferous vegetables, are safe for most rabbits to eat in moderation. These veggies are high in goitrogens, which can be dangerous in large amounts, and they're also indicated in gas, which can lead to serious illness -- for these reasons, crucifers should be limited in your rabbit's diet. If your rabbit is particularly sensitive to gas, you should eliminate these foods from your rabbit's diet entirely.
