Rabbit Care
Male Rabbits Make The Best Pet
Rabbits
Male rabbits,
especially Holland lop bucks, make the best pets because they are more
attentive and affectionate. They make the best pets for kids because they
are interactive, curious, and easy to handle. Spayed female rabbits (does) can also make great pets.
Unaltered female rabbits might make good pet rabbits. It's just a bit more
chancy proposition.
Rabbit Housing: About Pet

Cages and Pet Rabbit Hutches
In most situations, good rabbit care
dictates that each pet rabbit will
need a
cage or hutch of its
very own. Two unaltered bucks will generally begin to scrap sometime
between three and six months of age. Two unaltered does will
generally begin to show dominance or aggression toward each other as
they reach sexual maturity, possibly as late as six months of age.
An unaltered buck and doe could produce litters as early as twelve weeks
of age, which is quite unhealthy for the doe.
Along with some sound pet rabbit care advice, a quality breeder will provide you
with transitional feed when you purchase your rabbit. That feed
should be used for the first day or two. After that, you should
begin gradually mixing in bunny's new feed until he or she has changed
completely over to the new feed over the period of about a week.
Getting to Know Your
New Pet Rabbit "Let
your bunny lead," is the best advice anyone can give you about building a
relationship with your rabbit. Holland lops are especially curious
bunnies. And house rabbits enjoy all of the things to explore in a
house. Sooner or later their curiosity will get the best of
them, and they will come to check you out.
Rabbits Can Be Pals With Cats,
Dogs, and More
How your pet rabbit meets your other pets is an important step in whether they
will tolerate each other, become friends, or get off on the wrong foot (or paw).
First, make sure that your pet rabbit has fully acclimated to you and his or her
new home before introducing bunny to your other furry friends. Meeting new
folks is fun, but a little stressful, too.
How To Housetrain A Pet Rabbit
House rabbits are a lot of fun. Luckily, pet rabbits are
relatively easy to house train. They are just a bit more difficult
than a cat and far easier than a dog to train.
Printer-Friendly Rabbit Care Tip Sheet
Your pet rabbit should have a water bottle available with clean water at
all times. The bottle should be washed and refilled daily, even if
it is not empty.

when traveling with a bunny is a hot car. Also of concern is the stress the rabbit
may experience and the resulting appetite loss and susceptibility to
illness. But by considering your rabbits' basic needs for food,
water, cool temperature, basic sanitation, physical safety, and
moderation of stress, you can
travel
successfully with your pet rabbits.
How To Buy Pet Rabbits
Best Source
For Healthy Pet Rabbits
There are many sources for pet rabbits: pet stores, backyard
rabbit breeders, serious hobbyists, stock sales and auctions, flea
markets, and more. Of all of these choices, the serious
hobbyists are your best choice. Find out why.
Although each rabbit has its own unique personality and temperament,
both physical and behavioral characteristics do tend to follow
patterns within whole breeds. I know which breed is perfect
for me. Find out which rabbit breed is best for you.
Having rabbits shipped to you can be very costly (over $200) if you
can even find a breeder who will ship a single pet. Your best
choice is to find a breeder that lives or goes to shows nearer you.
Visit this list of breeders, sorted by state, with breed, website
and email listings.

What You
Should Expect From A Rabbit Seller Ten signs of a good
rabbit seller.
Do's And
Don't Of Pet Rabbit Buying Being a courteous and
informed rabbit buyer will greatly increase your
odds of a successful rabbit purchase.
I love to name litters of rabbits with related names. So I developed a list of unique pet names. Want to name a rabbit after a Star Trek character? How about a name with a Latin flare? Maybe you are looking for rhyming names or short names or long names. Or perhaps you like the names from Harry Potter. You will find them on my list of pet names.
I just can't resist posting these funny rabbit pictures. I have taken literally thousands of photos of rabbits and occasionally I catch a look that just cracks me up!
How high can a rabbit jump? How far? How large can a rabbit grow? How many toenails does a rabbit have? Find out the answers to these and more with fun rabbit facts.
