Why do rabbits breath hard when you hold them?
Rabbits may breathe hard when picked up due to stress or fear. It is important to handle rabbits gently and calmly to prevent them from feeling anxious and to avoid any potential injury. If a rabbit continues to breathe hard when being held, it may be best to let them go and provide a safe and quiet space for them to calm down.
Can you cover up a rabbit hutch?
Yes, you can cover up a rabbit hutch with a tarpaulin or specifically designed hutch cover to protect the rabbits from the elements. Make sure the cover is securely attached to prevent it from blowing away and provides adequate ventilation. Regularly check the hutch to ensure proper airflow and temperature control.

How many babies do lionhead rabbits have?
Mostly on the first litter mini lop have about 3. If that happens they don't make it.... (they can but this is unlikely) then you breed again and you can get anywhere in between 4 and 10... Rabbits do not go into heat.. so they can have babies at any given time they are with a male. And a know that alot of rabbits have the first litter not make it like i said above, but that isn't alway the case, alot of rabbits (inculeding mine) have strong healthy litters.
they are some breeds that always have 2 to 4 babies like the jersey woolys.
Even if that did happen it does not always mean the babies will die.
So mini lops can have between 4 and 10 babies. It is very likey that they have about seaven babies. On the first litter they can have less than four.
How do you know if a bunny is stuck in a rabbit?
Normally, rabbits will leave round hard droppings behind. Also, rabbits are very clean animals and they will clean themselves. If a rabbit has diarrhea, their poop will be more mushy. Also, it will be stuck on their bottom, they do not tend to clean that up. And besides this, it has a really foul smell. If your rabbit has diarrhea, you must take it to the vet immediately. Especially in young rabbit, they get dehydrated very fast and can die quickly. Although, when my young rabbit had diarrhea, I got a dropper to give my rabbit water from time to time, and I gave her fruits and vegetables that have fluids in them and are nutritional at the same time.
What kinds of lettuce can rabbits not eat?
Just like humans, different rabbits have different taste preferences. The only way to know what type of foods one rabbit prefers is to observe her reactions when you feed it to her.
Not all lettuces are healthy for rabbits. Avoid white/light-coloured varieties entirely (like iceberg and romaine hearts) because these are low in nutritional value for rabbits, and can lead to illness (like diarrhea). Dark-coloured lettuces (like fully-grown romaine, red leaf, green leaf) are healthy in moderation: they can be included in the rabbit's "salad" but they shouldn't be fed every day.
See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.
Cress, like watercress, is healthy for rabbits, but only the dark-coloured varieties. White and light-coloured veggies don't have much nutritional value and they can lead to illness. Watercress can be included in the rotation of "salad" greens. See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet.
What is the name of a collection of rabbits?
First Answer: Hare (Hares and jackrabbits, leporids belonging to the genus Lepus)
More Information: Actually, hares and rabbits are not the same animal. Rabbits are leporids, like hares, meaning they both belong to the Leporidae family. There are 12 genera in the family Leporidae: members of the Lepus genus are hares, while all the other genera are made up of rabbits.
There are many different species of wild rabbit all over the world, like:
- Amami rabbit in Japan
- Riverine rabbit in South Africa
- Bunyoro rabbit in central Africa
- the Striped rabbits (two species: Sumatran and Annamite) in Southeast Asia
- European rabbit, which is native to the western Mediterranean region (Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria), but has been introduced into the wild in many places, like the UK and Australia
- Tapeti in Central and South America
- Dice's Cottontail in Costa Rica and Panama
- the Volcano rabbit, Omilteme Cottontail, Mexican Cottontail, and Tres Marias Cottontail in Mexico
- and the many rabbits of North America: Pygmy rabbit, Brush rabbit, San Jose Brush rabbit, Swamp rabbit, Marsh rabbit, Eastern cottontail, New England cottontail, Mountain cottontail, and the Desert cottontail
Only one species of rabbit, the European Rabbit, has been domesticated. All domestic breeds of rabbit were bred from the European Rabbit.
Wild rabbits are herbivores, and they eat the plants local to their region. They live in large communities (called warrens). They dig tunnels and burrows underground to live in (also called warrens). As they graze, they perform the valuable service of cutting back growth and fertilising the plants their feces. Rabbits are food for pretty much any predator that can catch them (including foxes, stoats, hawks, racoons, bobcats, and humans).
What does it mean if the rabbit smells you?
Rabbits can sometimes smell, generally if they are kept clean and in hygienic conditions they are very sweet smelling.
There are some conditions that can cause a bunny to give off an 'odd' smell though...
This is going to depend entirely on how you define "odd" as there are many reasons why a rabbit can smell different from normal. We will cover just a few below.
Scent Glands / Vents
These are located just either side of the genitals, when they become blocked, infected or just in need of cleaning they can create quite a pungent stink! Think burned rubber and oil!
To clean them, lay your bunny on his/her back and using just water and cotton wool give them a good wipe, be gentle though.
There is a very informative page on scent gland cleaning here

Urine Infection
This can also cause your bunny to smell rather unpleasant. For this one you will need to see a vet. Keep an eye on your rabbit, is she straining to pee, does she seem uncomfortable in her litter tray, is she peeing in places she shouldn't be.
All of these things are signs of urine infection. The first sign is often a bunny who is well litter trained will have an accident outside of the tray.
Sexual Maturity
If your bunny has just reached sexual maturity they can change in smell, in boys this can be really quite a pungent smell, similar to scent glands.
Neutering a bunny is the best course of action!
Excess Ceceals
This is caused by the bunny having too much sugar and not enough coarse fiber in his/her diet. The droppings a bunny would normally eat are produced in excess and then get stuck to the bunnies hair, these really can smell bad as well as encouraging problems such a fly strike.
The long and short of this is, Turn Your Bunny Over and take a good look, what is causing the smell will quite often be obvious.
If not, try having a sniff of the ears
Ear mites and infections can also cause a very unpleasant smell. These MUST be treated by your vet! Has it been eating its own feasces? Or have you given it a bath or washed it at all?
Can rabbits eat alfalfa sprouts?
Rabbits should have fresh hay available 24 hours a day. Rabbits less than 7 months old may have alfalfa hay, but older rabbits should have grass hays such as timothy or oat hay. Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing the roughage that helps reduce the danger of hairballs and other blockages.
When do you take the male rabbit away from the peregnant female rabbit?
When breeding, let the male fall off of the female about 2-3 times, and take him out. If you want a larger litter, put him back in 24-48 hours later and let him fall 2 or 3 more times before taking him out again.

Do rabbits pull out their own fur to make a nest?
Female rabbits do not rip their fur. When they are preparing to have babies there bodies release a hormone that allows the fur to come out. In the wild, baby rabbits are born underground where it is cold and damp. They pull their fur to keep the babies warm.
What is the height of a lion head rabbit?
From ears to the front paw, an adult lion head rabbit, is about 7-10 inches.
Do white rabbits live in a safari?
There is more than one species of white rabbit. There are wild white rabbits, and there are pet white rabbits -- these different rabbits live in different places and lead different lives! But, in general:
Wild rabbits live underground so they're protected from most predators (although weasels can still get them underground). When rabbits see a predator, they run for their burrows. Every day, though, rabbits must go above ground to eat and exercise, so they're never fully safe from predators.
Pet rabbits must be protected from predators. Pet rabbits have been removed from their natural situation: now we humans are responsible for them. Pet rabbits kept in unsafe cages outside are much worse off than wild rabbits, and they have no where to run to: it isn't fair to them, not to protect them. See the related question below about rabbit cages for details and helpful links.
The easiest way to protect pet rabbits from predators is by bringing them inside. You can also put work into the outdoor cage/hutch, to make sure predators can't get in. However, it's not just about keeping the predator out: a predator stalking around outside the hutch can frighten a rabbit to death, if it has nowhere to hide.
When do you start nursing rabbits?
The age a rabbit can be bred varies with the size of the rabbit. A small breed doe is normally ready to mate when she is 5 months old, and a buck is ready at 6 months. The medium size doe is ready to breed when she is 6 months old and the buck at 7 months. The heavy breed doe is ready at 8 months and the buck is ready at 9 months. If you are unsure of the size of your rabbit, check into it on the web, or use ARBA information. These are the ages the rabbit can breed or become bred, this doesn't mean they will produce a healthy litter this young or survive the process. Its better to wait until a female is older, and to use an experienced male. Both should be at least a year old.
I was right there with you until you said to wait til they are 1 year old. If you wait that long not only have you wasted (in human years 15 years) optimum productive time of your rabbit but you risk your does getting too fat to conceive.
