Long Hair Rabbit Care

2008-07-22T16:57:00.000-07:00

If you have a long haired rabbit, then you have a lot of responsibility for grooming it. Long haired rabbits are entirely dependent on you to help them groom and manage their coats because they are quite incapable of doing it effectively themselves. Left alone, their fur will get nasty and tangled and matted up, to the point where it can even cause skin tears sometimes.

The Indoor/Outdoor Bunny

2008-07-20T21:49:00.001-07:00

There are a lot of articles written on the Internet (including a fair few here) about how keeping a rabbit inside is the best way to keep them. This is true in many respects, but some people find that they just can't keep their rabbits inside. If we are to be completely honest, we have to admit that a house rabbit can make a stinky mess very quickly in its litter tray or cage, and you could end up spending a lot of time cleaning it out.

Long Haired Bunny Care Guide: The Great Bunny Moult, What To Do When All Your Rabbit's Fur Falls Out

2008-02-25T00:11:00.000-08:00

A relatively under discussed phenomenon in rabbit keeping is moulting. Owners of short haired rabbits should not have too much trouble with moulting, because the short hair falls out easily enough with just basic grooming and generally speaking does not give a rabbit too much trouble. Longer haired rabbits are a different story all together however. When your rabbit goes into a moult, huge chunks of hair come loose, and a good grooming regime becomes even more important.

Bunny Care Guide: How To Get A New Pet Bunny To Like You

2008-02-03T02:11:00.000-08:00

This hub arose from a question asked by a fellow hubber who is having trouble with a new bunny. I have answered it in the format of a new hub, as this is a common problem for many new rabbit owners.

Question:

“A week ago I was joyed by adding a Netherland Dwarf to my family. I am getting a little frustrated. I have spent hours each afternoon since I got her, yet she still will not come close enough so that i can even touch her. If i even move, she freaks out and has to run as far away from me as possible! I have even tried having a handful of yogurt drops, but she still is very hesitant to come near me. Is this typical and is there anything I can do that will help her trust me? Any tips would be so helpful!”

Bunny Care Guide: How To Discipline Your Rabbit

One of the first things you'll realize as a bunny owner is that your bunny is quite naughty. Rabbits are always sticking their noses into things they shouldn't, chewing things they shouldn't and biting that which they shouldn't, which sometimes includes you.

IMPORTANT Information For Rabbit Owners - Spaying Your Rabbit: What To Expect After The Operation

2008-01-27T03:28:00.001-08:00

After your rabbit has undergone her spay, be prepared to provide lots of TLC. Surgery is a big deal for a rabbit, and she has experienced a great deal of trauma to her body. You might be surprised to find when you pick your rabbit up from the Vet (or you may have been surprised had you not read this first) that the wound is not stitched together. Instead, most rabbit spay wounds are held together with a kind of adhesive tissue paper that dissolves over time. It's often a strange and bright color, such as green, so be prepared for the underside of your rabbit to look pretty strange!.

Well... Bunny Still Mad!

2008-01-26T02:51:00.001-08:00

It's been quite some time since I posted, and a great deal of the delay has been due to the fact that little Wicket has been undergoing and recovering from her spay surgery. Of course things couldn't run entirely smoothly, and the Vet called me on the day of her spay to say that there was some excess bleeding after the fact, and she would have to reopen the bunny.

Wicket survived not one, but two surgeries that day, and went home with the very good veterinarian that night. The next day she was doing well enough to be allowed to come home. She was pretty quiet and subdued, but soon got back into the swing of things, attempting a vicious assault on my hand.

A visit to the vet a day or two later, another antibiotic injection, and Wicket is back to her usual self. (Read: grumpy and violent.) The spay is supposed to calm them down some, but with the way she is thrashing around in her cage, and her disdainful thumping when she is allowed out indicate that the calmness may be a far off dream.

She certainly is one tough little rabbit however, and she seems to have won over the hearts of the vetinary clinic with her sweet fuzziness and her resilience.

Bunny Care Guide: House Rabbits - How To Deal With A Territorial/Aggressive Bunny

2007-12-27T16:31:00.000-08:00

It may seem at times that I write a great deal about the negative aspects of bunnies, however that is mostly due to the fact that little help is needed when things are going right. I don't need to tell you how to enjoy watching your rabbit frolic playfully about the place, or feel a surge of happiness when a little furry nose nuzzles yours. However you might need help when problems arise, therefore, you'll hear a lot about the darker size of the fuzziness here.

In this article I discuss territorial behavior and aggression towards humans as exhibited by house rabbits. This should be of help to anyone who has received random nips and dashing attacks from an otherwise happy house bunny.

Merry Christmas Bunny Lovers

2007-12-25T01:40:00.000-08:00

A very Merry Christmas to all bunnies and their owners! If you've just become a rabbit owner, congratulations, please do take some time to browse around and learn about your new fuzzy friend. With the right care and understanding, your rabbit can become a lovable, character filled companion for the next 10 years or more.

To other bunny owners looking to add to their bunny families, or even people who are thinking of getting pet rabbits for the first time, if you are in a position to do so, hold off getting a rabbit for a month or two. Every year rabbits who were cute Christmas pets get abandoned in shelters and turned into rescue centers due to owners who weren't all that interested in bunnies except for their cute factor. Older bunnies are easier to train, and rabbits who are past the age of sexual maturity are likely to be much more settled in their personalities, making them great choices for prospective owners.

That's what I'll be doing this year, so you can look forward to new, more mature additions to our bunny family being discussed on the blog!
