Rabbit Tips And Rabbit Care
By Dog Lover | October 29, 2009
Choosing the right rabbit for you and your family can be a very exciting process. With over 40 different rabbit breeds, there’s certainly many to choose from. There are also many different coloured rabbits, so it is interesting to see which ones appeal to your family the most. Rabbits range in size from 2 pounds to over 10 pounds, so you’re going to have to be confident that your rabbit care knowledge is up to scratch.
If you’re considering which gender of rabbit to buy, different breeders have different preferences as to which rabbits make the best pets. Of course, a lot of this boils down to how the rabbit is treated. Often a doe (girl rabbit) that is not spayed, can become territorial was she reaches maturity. In some cases, she may even bite you a little bit if you get too close. Providing the same person feeds the rabbit regularly, the aggression felt by the doe should subside. This sort of trait will vary between rabbits, but in some cases the doe can get very aggressive towards its owner and everyone that comes near it, so be wary. If you do not plan to breed your rabbit, and you want a doe, it is best to have her spayed to help reduce the chances that she may protect her den. So many people make the mistake of not doing this, but if you are thinking of a long-term rabbit care plan, spaying should be top of your list.
Something else worth thinking about when working out your rabbit care plans is the grooming side of things. If you have a luxuriously soft angora rabbit, grooming will become part of your everyday agenda. The wool rabbit breeds will need quite a bit of time spent on them to ensure their grooming is properly done.
There are some recommendations that rabbit owners would suggests, and one is to make sure you don’t buy a rabbit without seeing it first, either at a pet store or from a breeder. It would be in your best interest to find a breeder in your area of the breed you think you would like. Then you can pay the breeder a visit. Have a look around the rabbit area and note down what the conditions are like. Ask if you can hold a rabbit. This is the point where you can check the rabbit’s reaction to seeing their hutch door being opened. Those happy rabbits in the hutch will come hopping forward hoping you will pick them up. However, there are some rabbits that will head towards the back of the hutch. Look out for these signs as they could indicate that the rabbit won’t make a good pet.
Searching for a rabbit should be fun, but you should also make sure you think about all the important details that rabbit care involves. With many sizes and different colours to choose from, it is hoped that you will eventually find that perfect rabbit for your family.
