THE REASON'S YOU SHOULD
NOT BUY BUNNIES
AT EASTER
1. Bunnies should not be gifts for children from Grandparents or parents. Little children lose interest very quickly. I am not saying that rabbits should never be pets for children. With a responsible parent and education children can be great pet owners
2. Small bunnies sure are cute, but did you
know that most Pet Stores get bunnies at about 3 to 4 weeks.
For good health and socializing they should stay with their
mom
for at least 5-6 weeks. I leave the bunnies that I rescue
for 6 to 8 weeks. They seem to
do better when left longer.
If the males mature early then they need to be placed in different
cage and it is probably time to have it neutered.
3. When bunnies get to be about 4 months they
get hormonal we call this the teenage times. They will get
aggressive and may bite. This is the time
they need to be altered. Most people do not realize that this is a natural behavior. This is when the bunny owner will
take them to the shelter because they do not know or care. Let
them so called free is not setting them free. You are making
them
food for hawks, owls or coyotes. There are too many dangers
for bunnies. There are many poisonous plants they should
not ever eat.
Their temperature runs about 102 and when it gets too hot it will kill that
precious bunny.
THE REASONS TO ALTER
1. The best reason is
for health reasons. Rabbits can get reproductive cancers
so spaying and neutering can give
them a longer life
span.
2. If they are not neutered the males will spray
more.
3. Females usually get very aggressive and that
is usually what makes
people lose interest in the rabbit because it is harder
to handle them.
4. I find that unaltered rabbits urine is
stronger. Bunnies should be indoor bunnies because they make
wonderful pets.
They are pretty easy to litterbox train. We use a litter pan
and untreated stove pellets. (never use clay based litter.)
You can
also use Feline pine, or horse bedding (the pellet type). We use ABM. Put it in the corner where they go the most.
