Spaying or Neutering Your House Rabbit

spaying and neutering your house rabbitMost people are aware of the reputation rabbits have for breeding and overpopulating their environment.  Even if your rabbit is your one and only bunny, you should still consider spaying or neutering your pet to avoid some health problems and promote bonding with your house rabbit.   The benefits to having your pet altered by your veterinarian far outweigh the risks of the surgery itself.

Why Altering is Beneficial to Your Rabbit

Rabbit Proofing Your Home

Rabbit Proof Your HomeRabbits are social and curious critters by nature.   Your house rabbit will enjoy spending time with you and your family and will want to investigate the new surroundings at the every opportunity.  You should help to satisfy your friend’s curious nature, but do so in a rabbit friendly environment.  In other words, rabbit proofing your home is essential to ensure your pet’s safety and prevent damage to your belongings before bringing your new friend home to live.

Living with a House Rabbit – Poot the Dutch Rabbit

Poot teaches us how to live with a house rabbitBy Theron Peck

It is 5:20 am and the day is just beginning. Six short steps down from the second floor reveals a large living room with our Dutch rabbit eagerly awaiting our arrival. With hardwood floors and several rugs, this is the habitat and home for our house rabbit named Poot. Poot is normally sitting in a “loaf” mode under our coffee table with a direct view to the staircase. Upon our arrival, he becomes very excited and runs around the perimeter of the room which is also attached to a dining and kitchen area. After receiving a customary scratch on the head, he nudges our feet, demanding a forehead rubbing in front of the couch while we watch the morning news.

Rabbit Bonding – How to Introduce Two Rabbits

2 Rabbits BondingTo be successful at rabbit bonding, there are 3 rules which need be followed:

1. The best bonding pair is male and female

Out in the wild, rabbits will live in pairs of male/female and will at times remain with the same partner for their entire life. Every female (doe) will have her very own nesting burrow and the male (buck) will usually sleep with her there. This is the natural pairing for house rabbits also. Baby rabbits not yet established in a bonded pair tend to be  solitary, hanging around the outskirts of the warren.
