OK.So you just adopted a rabbit and it is your first one.And suddenly you have all kind of questions on your mind about pet rabbit care.This article will answer the most common ones that everyone wonder about pet rabbit care.
What do pet rabbits eat?Rabbits
would eat just about anything so be careful what you give them.They
need to have Timothy hay at will and some Timothy based pellets every
day but not more than a quarter of a cup daily.Also give them a handful
of greens daily such as spinach, parsley, broccoli and celery.Fruits
should be given in moderation as treats.Never give them cereal
bars,salty or sugary snacks,nuts or corn.Should you give a pet rabbit to a child?Most
of the times rabbits are given as easter gifts to young
children.Unfortunately, kids loose interest in the rabbit after a few
weeks and it is unrealistic to expect them to handle the care.This is
the reason why most rabbits ended up at animal shelters.Only adults are
able to fully understand the animal needs and should be the primary
care giver for the rabbit.Children may dislike the fact that the bunny
wont play with them like a dog or a cat.Can pet rabbits be kept outside?Unlike
what most people think, domestic rabbits are much better off inside
rather than outside.Outdoors rabbits are not doing well in wet, cold or
hot temperatures.They can overheat very easily.Also predators such as
cats,dogs, pray birds or raccoons can scare them to death just by being
around them.They will be prone to diseases and fly bites and their life
expectancy will be greatly reduced.Limited space and boredom will make
their life miserable.Does a pet rabbit smells and makes a mess in the house?Rabbits
are very clean and tidy animals.They can easilt be litter trained like
a cat when they are spayed or neutered.They also clean themselves like
cats and their fur smells nice.Get a good absorbent litter made of
recycled newspaper and scoop out the litter box every other day and you
will never have urine odors in your house.Stay away from scented wood
chips that can be toxic for the rabbit.How much does pet rabbit care cost?If
you were told that rabbits are low cost maintenance pets, you will soon
find out the opposite.A pet rabbit cost as much to care for than a cat
or a dog.They need to be spayed or neutered and to be taken to the vet
once a year.Food ,hay,litter and vegetables costs slowly but surely add
up to.You also need to find a vet that is specialised in rabbits, not
just dogs and cats.
