| The Bunnies' Home Page Hello! Welcome to the furry world of Claire's housemates! Have a look at what we have been getting up to and learn some stuff about bunnies like us! |
| To learn more about bunnies like us visit: The house rabbit society (US but lots of useful info regardless of where you live) The rabbit welfare association (UK) UK companion Rabbits Rabbit references More info than you can shake a fluffy tail at! |
| Bunnies are sociable creatures, they like to live in pairs or groups, but they should be neutered, there are far too many unwanted rabbits in shelters to justify breeding from your pet, even once. Unneutered males can be agressive and spray, and females are also at great risk of dying from reproductive cancers unless bothe the uterus and ovaries are removed. |
| They also like gentle human companions. Bunnies are not good children's pets, as they scare easily and can bite, kick and scratch. |
| Rabbits are often better off indoors with you, living longer and happier as a result. They are very clean and can be litter box trained very easily. They will need exercise out of their cage for a couple of hours a day, (regardless of where their cage is), although it is important to be aware of potential hazards, rabbits like to chew and can injure themselves on electric cables and poisonous plants, so be sure to bunny proof their play areas, and keep treasured posessions out of reach. |
| Some bunnies love to be stroked and played with, but few enjoy being picked up or held. As prey animals they get really frightened when restrained or lifted off the ground, be sympathetic to this and let bunny come to you for affection, this is, in the long run, far more rewarding; as the bunny will learn to trust you more. |
| Bunnies like to eat lots of hay and green vegetables supplemented with a little pellet food or cereal mix, they also really enjoy fresh grass. Carrots are good only in small amounts as a treat, they are high in sugars and will not only make bun fat, but could also cause tummy upsets. |
| A bunny is a commitment for up to ten years of care, feeding and vets bills (UK buns should be vaccinated, all buns should be neutered), make sure that you are making the right choice and check out the links below. |
