Before buying a pet rabbit, you should carefully think things through, where you will live Bunny who will take care after him, will you be able to devote sufficient time to your pet. The baby should gain at one month of age and older.
Simultaneously with the acquisition of the rabbit, or even in advance he should buy a cage. No matter how you were sure that the rabbit will walk around the apartment, the cage he still need.
The cage is better to take a big. Six months later, the rabbit will grow up and will no longer fit in the little box, so you don't spend money on a cage twice suggest to buy a spacious cage immediately.
An adult rabbit should be a cage with a plastic base, long not less than 60 cm Cages with slatted bottom is not acceptable, because the pads on the feet of the rabbit is not intended for that gender. Choose a seat so that the cell was not near the battery or in the draft.
As bedding on the bottom of the cage you can use sawdust or straw. When buying a cage make sure it includes the manger for hay, if not buy. Otherwise, the hay which is lying on the floor in the cage will quickly come into disrepair.
Also you will need to have a hinged automatic drinker for rodents (it has metal tube with a ball on the end) and a bowl-feeder for grain feed.
The bowl-feeder is to take the ceramic with a wide, heavy bottom to the rabbit I didn't trash her when I grow up, also good for hanging metal bowls-feeders, stand which attaches to the bars of the cage and the bowl comes easy to you add the food.
The primary food for young rabbit is hay and feed, you can also add Hercules. You can also use feed mixtures for young rabbits sold at the pet store. Rabbit new feed should be gradually, slowly mixing it with the old one (personally, I initially teach rabbits to feed and Hercules, and then introduce additional supplements such as the dry buckwheat, oats). But remember, the hay, the rabbit should always be!
Water recommend giving regular tap, filtered or settled. Boiled water is poor in oxygen, calcium and minerals, but the mineral water bottled on the contrary very rich in salts and can cause kidney stones.
Fruits, vegetables, green grass to give the rabbit I recommend not before two months of age. To teach them of the rabbit should be gradually, one thin slice a day so the body can get used. Start with carrots and apples, cabbage, I recommend giving rabbits younger than 3-4 months.
The rabbit in the cage needs to be mineral stone (wheel of red-brown color, not to be confused with the white salt stone). Let him in early will not pay any attention to him, but in the case of lack of minerals that the rabbit will be able to fill some of them quietly licking a couple of times a pebble.
I do not recommend you to give the rabbits regularly drops (a certain type of treats sold in pet stores). An exception may be rare cases, for example as a reward.
In General, as a reward, I would recommend to give your pet the toast of white bread (I usually bread specially cut into cubes of 1.5 cm and the dry land). Also be very careful with vitamins, remember that an overdose of vitamins that's much worse for the health of a rabbit than a shortage of them.
Rabbit is desirable to produce a walk once a day at least half an hour. Try to remove the excess from the floor wire, rabbit can treat them as the branches or roots of trees and begin to chew on them.
In order for you avoid unnecessary problems with izvrashenie Wallpaper or furniture make sure you buy chalk at the store and add the grated chalk into the food rabbit, you can also put a piece of chalk in the bowl with the food and break the branch of a fruit tree and put it in the cage for the rabbit so he could about her sharpening teeth.
Rabbits are very clean and when they grow, they begin to go to the toilet only one place. Over time, the rabbit can be trained to go to the toilet in the litter tray.
