Things To Know About Pet Rabbits

Rabbits are social creatures and live in a colony. So, if you want to have a pet rabbit, get two of them as a start. And if you don’t want their number to go up, make sure to have them neutered.

Things to remember in having a pet rabbit:

● Make sure she has a large hutch, is safe from both temperature change and predators, and is rabbit secure. Provide a place for her to hide, like an old box. Let her out of her hutch for a few hours each day so she can exercise.

● Give her a regular check-up, an up-to-date vaccination, and home remedy-ready medicines. Follow your vet’s instructions in taking care of your pet rabbit and if something is wrong with her behavior and eating habits, talk to your vet immediately.

● Keep your rabbit’s food fresh. Feed your rabbit with food that has a fiber content of more than 18%. Provide constant fresh grass like Timothy, orchard, or brome and leafy green vegetables. Make sure that she has constant access to fresh water in a no-drip water bottle.

A sudden change in your pet's appetite and/or eating habits should prompt a visit to your animal hospital San Antonio, TX.
