    Before You Buy Your Bunny

    Rabbits make great pets for a lot of reasons! If your kids want a rabbit and your house is ready for the challenge (Do you have a backyard? What about a cage? An ADT Security Oakland alarm?) here are a few things to think about before you buy the bunny
    Are Your Kids Responsible? – Parents sometimes think pets are a great way to teach kids responsibility but in reality they’ll only do some of the work. Before you get the rabbit ask yourself how much work you’re willing to put into it.
    Do You Have the Room? – Rabbits are small, yes, but they need cages at least 15 times their size to be comfortable. You’ll need a big backyard to put the cage and it’s got to be built off the ground, too.
    Can You Afford It? – Rabbits may seem low maintenance off the bat but they eat A LOT. They also need a lot of medical attention as they get older so they can be expensive – decide how much you’re willing to pay to have a bunny for a pet before you buy.

Rabbits adore chewing on many different things and this leaves many of your items as free game if you leave them to roam.

    Do Rabbits Make Good Pets For Children

    Generally rabbits make good pets, but a lot of time and effort must be expected. However, depending on the age and personality of your child, and contrary to popular beliefs, rabbits and young children don’t mix. Young children are naturally loving, enjoying hugging and cuddling.

Children want to run and play and that’s just not what rabbits do. They won’t fetch the ball your child Read the rest of this entry »

    How To Introduce Two Pet Rabbits

    Rabbits are social but territorial creatures. While they enjoy companionship, they have to take time to get to know their new housemates or they will fight. It is best to introduce rabbits to each other while both are still young, less than four months old, but you can introduce them later if you are careful. Make sure both rabbits are either neutered or spayed to lessen the chance of fighting between them. Once you have the rabbits neutered or spayed, introduce them to their new surroundings first. Put them in a cage and let Read the rest of this entry »
