Buying A Pet Rabbit Characteristics And Health Information

By: Moses Wright

The minute anyone thinks of a rabbit, most people will see rabbits as docile and cuddly animals. Rabbits however, do take some time to adapt and feel at ease in unfamiliar environments. With enough time and assurance provided by owners, the rabbits should adjust soon. They like human company but might respond less positively to being held.

Rabbits are more intelligent than most people thought. They can be litter trained and can even be taught little parlor tricks to amuse others. A Japanese man raised a rabbit named Oolong and it had a quaint talent for balancing miniature objects on its head while it hopped around.

There are over 50 different breeds that are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association. However there is much more varieties than that, for example Snowshoe hares are not included in the listed 50 breeds.

This is because as a professional association concerned with organizing them in fairly strict standards they have differentiated the breeds accordingly. With different features, sizes and colors specific to each breed, there are some similarities among all the rabbits irrelevant of their breeds. Rabbits belong to Lagomorphs species. Since they have constantly growing teeth they are often misunderstood as rodents.

Rabbits breed very fast and tend to have a high number of offspring. They live up to 10 years and mature in about 6 months and start breeding immediately. This is because they had survived in the wild being prey to a lot of predations. They have an innate instinct to protect themselves and this has helped in their survival over thoussands of years. Their gestation period is as little as a month and they produce a lot of kits - rabbit babies.

Unlike other mammals whose teeth shift but do not grow after adulthood, rabbit's teeth keep growing through out their lives, To control the growth of the teeth, they keep chewing on anything and everything possible. That could be a problem for rabbit owners since they damage the furniture and other materials in the house. The most common or even favorite thing for the rabbits is the shoe. This problem can be handled by consciously keeping the shoes out of reach.

Rabbit proofing the furniture at home helps to prevent the furniture from further damages. Owners should provide their rabbits with lot of chewable toys available in pet shops to keep them from exploring and chewing other items in the house. Another natural instinct of rabbit is digging because they live in burrows in the wild. This can become and issue with domestic pets, as they will dig holes in the garden and spoil the foliage.

Their emotions can be adversely affected easily. Due to stress, rabbits can suffer from a number of medical afflicitons. They can be easily disturbed with loud noises and screaming. Children may not be aware that rabbits dislike to have their ears played with. They could even bite children if they are stressed.

Rabbits have a vision of close to 360 degrees to afford them a good view of possible predators. However, they do have a blind spot under their face that is approximately about 10 degrees. So, they could shift their heads frequently, and try to gauge the distance of objects through looking at the objects in different perspectives.

Rabbits need regular grooming. Though they are clean animals naturally, it is necessary to brush them often to avoid accumulation of fur balls in the intestine.

With more and more people choosing rabbits as their pets, it is clear that these small animalsare gaining popularity and make good companions who amuse their owners well.

Can you describe the feeling when you see a rabbit? Do you want to have the rabbit as your pet? Is this what you think? Most of us find this animal very – very cute regardless you are a boy or girl, big or small, kid or/and adult.

If you are certain that you want to get a pet rabbit, or you have already had one, things that you’re thinking are where to keep them. Indoor or outdoor? There are good and bad on keeping them either indoor or outdoor.

If you keeping them outdoor, first thing you must ensure that your lawn is save from all predator. Rabbit are easily disturb and frightened by dogs and also cats. You have to provide them with a place for them to hide in the hutch. And also this place would serve as a warm place when it’s rain or when it is cold. Provide enough space for them in the hutch and clean it regularly. Not to forget to provide a litter tray a one corner for them to do their business.
In the other hand, if you tend to keep them indoor, you can be sure that rabbit is also a clean animal. They also can be litter train easily. But you must provide them a place of their own in the house so not to keep them hopping freely all the time in the house. They tend chew everything in the house including electrical cord that can be dangerous to the rabbit and also to the human. There are cases where houses burned down by this.

Fortunately, there are a lot of indoor rabbit cages to choose from with different design and character. Only thing that make it hard for us is, there are too many of them.
To help you choose an ideal indoor rabbit cage for your rabbit, I’ve listed the basic character that need to be considered before getting one.

1) SizeOften, we got question on what is an ideal size for our pet bunny to fit in the indoor cages. Usually, the manufacturer will give you the idea/information, but often, they are too small for our rabbit.
The basic idea is to have your cage at 5 times the size of your pet rabbit or about 100cm/1kg for small rabbit. It is advisable to buy the biggest size possible, so your rabbit has enough space to roam around.

2) HeightThe minimum height for an Indoor Rabbit Cage would be about 40cm but this should serve only as a guide. You need to check, whenever your rabbit sit up straight, the ears would not touch the top. This would help you on making decision. If you are in any doubt, go for taller cage.

3) Floor/BaseTry avoiding wired bottoms. This would irritate rabbit and can cause injury. The base of Indoor Rabbit Cage should be solid. If you already bought a wired bottom indoor rabbit cage, place something on the bottom like a towel, grass matt or several pieces of newspaper for your pet rabbit safety.(Most of the Indoor Rabbit Cage are usually wired bottom, so you need to place something at the bottom with something that is easy to wash or replaceable)

4) Cage DoorFor rabbit easy access in and out, the cage door should be large. It is best / beneficial if your cage door also serves as a ramp all together but again avoid from wired ramp. You could cover it with something solid if you have no other choices (Same as what we covered in Floor/Base above.

5) Litter BoxA rabbit can be trained to go to bathroom and a litter box will enable this. Rabbit are clean pets and you should provide a litter box in and out of the cage.
And last but not least, consider this, even with the biggest Indoor Rabbit Cage, you should let your rabbit out roaming and hopping around to make the rabbit comfortable with you and the surrounding. This would give them much needed exercise and would give you full enjoyment of owning and loving your wonderful bunny.

All this would give you an idea of a suitable Indoor Rabbit Cage for your pet rabbit. I wish you good luck and take good care of your bunny.
