* Your rabbit has not been spayed or neutered

If you adopted a baby rabbit,you will soon find out that by the time he get the age of 3 to 5 months old,by means teenagers,there are good chances that you see a big change in his personality.What is happening is the rabbit is getting to the age of reproduction and his under a big hormonal change.

So he might starts to resist being picked up and get territorial.Avoid touching his stuff in his cage when he is inside or you will provoke him.If you have to pick up your rabbit to put him in and out of his cage, it is time to make him a side door and teach him to go in and out by himself.Putting a nice treat inside the cage should do the trick.

Netherland dwarf rabbit is probably the most popular rabbit breed when choosing a pet rabbit.There are a few reasons why people prefer them among other breeds.But like any others, they need good care to enjoy a healthy,happy lives.

• The Size

The Netherland dwarf rabbit is the smallest breed of rabbits.Their weight do not exceed 2 to 3 pounds.So of course they can have a smaller cage than the larger breeds.But they need just as much space to run and exercise on a daily basis.So rather than leaving your rabbit in a cage, get a exercise pen or pen him off in a rabbit proof room when you are gone and at night, and let him out when you are home.

Every character has his own scale as to the kind of pet he will pass home and take caution of. Generally, people pick dogs or cats as pets since these animals are jolly and easier to take thought of nursing. However, there are people who prefer to take heeding of exotic pets.

Ordinary pets are animals the people ponder as pets because they are warmly domesticated and gentle. On the other hand, exotic pets are animals that aren’t commonly found near circle, aren’t domesticated and most of them belong with the fierce.

A someone who forecast to get an exotic pet should consider his commitment in caring for such pet. If the motivation is only to have the exotic pet shown off then it is better to think again. Owning an exotic pet is a driving responsibility because they force singular bother.

Parents who are planning to give an exotic pet to their children should elect an exotic pet that is more gentle and can be clearly handled by children. Safety should also be a highest consideration when giving exotic pets to children.

If you own a rabbit and aren’t quite sure what to do with him or her why not train him. I will show you step by step how to litter train your pet rabbit. Within a few weeks, your rabbit will be trained to use a litter box both in and out of his cage. Don’t worry, its not that hard to do, I did it with my six year old daughter.

Here are three things you should do before you start to actually train your rabbit.

1) Make sure you have a proper cage for your rabbit:
His cage should be big enough for him to have a “living” area and a “potty” area.

2)Let your rabbit exercise everyday.
You should have your rabbit out to exercise 1-2 times a day for 30-60 minutes.

3) Feed your rabbit
You should feed your rabbit a combination of fruits, vegetables and dry food three times a day.You will find that your rabbit has one or two favorite treats which you will use when you begin to train him.
Ok now that you have spent a some time getting to know your rabbit and have become friends its time to start training.

Many pet owners enjoy the company and companionship of having a pet rabbit in the house. People are attracted to the idea of house rabbits because rabbits are not only playful and fun to watch they are also very social. Rabbits tend to appeal to people who like the size and feel of cats but are put off by the aloof manners cats sometimes display, most rabbits, if handled properly, are friendly all the time. Rabbit owners need to be aware that because rabbits are so social they need to spend allot of time each and every day playing with their pet rabbit. Rabbits that do not get enough attention can become depressed. Like cats pet rabbits are low maintenance and are easily litter box trained. Rabbits chew on everything, the best way to spare your furniture is to give your pet rabbit lots and lots of chewy toys. Rabbits and young children are not a very good combination, kid’s habit of grabbing and running around makes rabbits nervous and they can start biting, and rabbit bites hurt. If you decide to keep your pet rabbit in the house you need to be prepared to clean the litter box on a regular basis.

Rabbits need to be taken to the veterinarian on a regular schedule for routine vaccinations and check ups. Rabbit owners who keep their rabbits in the house recommend spaying and neutering your rabbit. Pet rabbits are not known for their willingness to take medications. If you have to give your pet rabbit liquid mediation you will need to use a syringe (just the syringe not the needle) or an eye dropper. I prefer syringes because it is easier to measure the proper dosage of medication. (more…)
