To anyone looking at rabbits for Easter:
×Rabbits are not a "throwaway" pet. They can live 12-15 years if well taken care of
×Rabbits are not all "gentle." Sometimes they're fucking silly. Some are more active. Our boy and girl are polar opposites
× SPAY/NEUTER YOUR RABBIT, not only for breeding reasons, but cancer risks are EXTREMELY high
×Rabbits are VERY intelligent and need A LOT of interactive enrichment time
×Rabbits can take time to trust you, ESPECIALLY if they are rehomed to you. BE PATIENT WITH THEM
×Like human children, you must never strike a rabbit for being naughty. They're babies. Treat them like they are infants
×RABBITS ARE NOT TOYS or for small children
×RABBITS MUST BE FED Alfalfa hay for youngins, Timothy hay for adults, mixed vegetables, fruits, and pellets. DO NOT avoid any necessary part of their diet. It's cheap beyond the fresh stuff. Grow it if you can. That's what we do.
×Don't be stupid. They're a lot of work.
×Please don't feed a rabbit carrots in excess. That's a rare treat. They are too high in sugar. You will give your bunny heart issues.
Here are some guides. We were given our girl at three weeks old, and while we know a lot about rabbits, it was still a shock.
If you have ANY rabbit questions, let us know. You can dm me about rabbits. I probably know the answer or can refer you to a vet.
