Learn all about bunnies

By Alberto Mesa


Rabbits are beautiful pets, making fantastic pets for dedicated owners. Bunnies are friendly pets, and like the company of other rabbits, and generally like to live in couples. Additionally, they like human company and can become very friendly if treated appropriately. A girl bunny is named a 'Doe' and a boy a 'Buck'.

Rabbits need daily consideration and some can live for up to 10 years so they are a long term responsibility. Rabbits aren't cheap pets as many new owners will soon come to realise. There are setup costs, food bills, and veterinary bills to take into consideration, and as bunnies can live up to ten years owning a bunnie may be a long-term financial commitment. Make sure you have what it takes to take care of a rabbit.

There are a wide range of bunnies to pick from different in size, shape, colour, character and so on. But when selecting which bunnie to purchase, generally buy your bunnie from a trusted source and if possible check that the mom is in good health. The best time to purchase a rabbit is when they have been weaned from their mother at about 6-8 weeks.

Keeping an Indoor Bunny

A lot more bunny proprietors are opting to maintain their bunnies in the house and keep them as house bunnies. This way you may have your beloved bunny around your house with you all day, and you may play and interact with your pet more regularly, just like you would a cat or dog.

Indoor bunnies like to run around the home and hide under and behind furniture. But be aware, maintaining your rabbit indoors needs training, rabbit proofing your home, and much more time and dedication than keeping your bunny outside the house.

You need to train your rabbit, just like you would a puppy, to use a cage, to not adventure into certain places of the house, and not to chew your shoes!
