I read a few rabbit books, signed up for rabbit secrets on my e mail adress, and know alot.
Im just asking for some info on things that are not mentioned in the books or just cool facts.
I am plotting on being paid one or two
Please and thank you!
SITES ARE AWSOME!
thx
Not sure if this is mentioned in the books that you read but keep rabbit clean around his bottom. If the rabbit cannot keep himself clean then flies lay their eggs here & the rabbit slowly dies,
This has happened to 2 friends rabbits & they took excellent care of them,they were not aware that this could happen.
Sorry don’t know the name of this problem but you could look it up.
I had a rabbit that ran free in the garden with the dogs(3) & lay on the dog’s beds with them.
Prior to being paid a rabbit I had no thought how much the personality varies from one to another. Each bunny will have really uncommon habbits, likes and dislikes, and amounts of attitude. The books cover all the basics of care but you’ll find that not everything works all the time with your rabbit – but there’s tons of info out there and if you look around you’ll find lots of alternative suggestions and solutions for just in this area every problem. Another tidbit you may or may not have run into is that rabbits can’t vomit… so you’ll never have to worry in this area a mess on the rug, but you will have to make sure they can pass everything they eat – and they can’t cough up hairballs so that includes their fur.
Some of my fave sites:
House Rabbit Society: http://www.rabbit.org/
OREO: http://www.ontariorabbits.org/beginners/…
Bunspace has a fantastic community with tons of excellent info to share and some truly adorable photos: http://www.bunspace.com/
PS- Boolarose above me was referring to flystrike, most rabbits can keep themselves clean but if they are too stout or older or have an upset tummy you’ll have to clean them.
Hey thats cool! I signed up fro rabbit secrets too. A cool fact is that rabbits can see behind them but they have a blind spot right in front of them. Twoof the largest causes in death for rabbits is hair balls and wool blocks and heatstrok. Some web sites that you could go on are http://www.friendsofrabbits.org is fantastic and I volenteer there every week. Another site is http://www.24carrotlane.com and http://www.saveabunny.org and http://www.bunnyluv.com and http://www.arba.net and teir are many other sites that you can find on line if you do a google search. Excellent luck!
rabbits aren’t hard to take care of (now and again) i had 4 now 2. don’t place 2 boys or 2 girls together now and again don’t place any together unless they know each other. me and my brother place 2 on the couch and then they were best rabbit friends forever.
