RHD oder Kaninchen-Hemorrhagic Krankheit ist eine Bedingung, die in den inländischen Kaninchen auftreten kann. Einige Zeichen sind einfach, wie eine schäumende, blutige nasale Entladung oder innerhalb ihres Rahmens aufgeregt leicht schlagen zu ermitteln. Symptome verändern und schließen Lethargie, schneller und erheblicher Gewichtverlust und andere ein. Bedauerlich ist es häufig der Fall, der, bis die Symptome offensichtlich werden dort wenig ein Haustier ist, das, Inhaber tun kann.

Die Krankheit wird durch ein Virus verursacht, das gekennzeichnet worden ist, genannt ein calicivirus. Zwar früher begrenzt auf China, Europa und einige andere Bereiche, bekannt es in den US seit 2000. Seit damals sind Kästen in einigen Zuständen wie Iowa, Indiana, New York und Utah bestimmt worden. Mit einer Verteilung, die weit, es möglicherweise überall auftreten könnte.

Markierung tritt wenn Kaninchen urinate (oder werden Sie manchmal) klar auf, um Gegend zu sichern, um andere anzuregen, weg zu bleiben. Es ist ein natürliches Verhalten, gerade da es mit ist Hunde, Katzen und andere Sorte. Aber, da inländische Kaninchen neigen, mehr Zeit zuhause als diese anderen Tiere soviel zu verbringen, kann es ein grösseres Problem sein. Also, dogs don’t tend to mark territory by urinating indoors. Rabbits are less particular.

Sometimes marking behavior is brought on by stress. Keeping the environment free of startling noises, falling objects and other dangers will help reduce the odds. Rabbits evolved in circumstances where they were prey for many other species. That tended to produce a species that is somewhat timid and easily unnerved. Like deer, they’ll run at the first sign of trouble. Removing stimulants from their environment can help reduce the odds of that reaction.

Many people get a rabbit for a pet, thinking they can just put it in a cage. They take it out on the rare occasions they feel like it. But that isn’t very beneficial for the rabbit and provides the pet owner with more problems in the long run. Rabbits are not mechanical toys. They require care.

One area where owners will often short that care is in seeking the services of an experienced veterinarian, one with a knowledge of rabbits. Many vets are excellent with dogs and cats but have few opportunities to treat rabbits, so their skills are limited. Many owners will throw up their hands and simply let the rabbit die when it’s ill then get another. A regrettable situation.

What is ‘proper’ in a rabbit’s diet depends on what kind of creature it is. And since rabbits are herbivores, they need to be fed exclusively plant material - grains, vegetables and the occasional fruit.

Rabbits need substantial grassy fiber and a good deal of vegetable protein. They have fairly delicate digestive systems and they can’t vomit anything which disagrees with them. So, it’s necessary to be careful to ensure they get the right foods in the right proportion.

Rabbits are cute as heck, everyone agrees. And it’s true. But rabbit owners know that their little friends have natural behaviors, some would say instincts, that can make them destructive.

Rabbits are no respecters of property, so you have to be vigilant. Letting them out of the cage to enjoy running around is important for their health and amusing for their owner. But left unsupervised, they’ll usually get into what the owner would call trouble pretty quickly. The rabbit would call it having fun.

Many people treat their dog as a tool. They put it outside to watch the property, or generally ignore it until they want it for something. That’s tragic. But luckily that sort of thing happens rarely with owners of rabbits. Rabbit owners will often pay much more attention to keeping their rabbit safe from harm and ensuring its well being.

Not always easy to do.

Rabbits reach sexual maturity at about age six months. It varies somewhat by breed. Spaying is the surgical procedure carried out on females in which their mature organs are removed, neutering involves removing the testes of the male but not the penis - neutering is not the same as full castration.

There are pros and cons to the procedure for either sex.

Grooming your pet rabbit isn’t primarily to keep it looking good. Good grooming promotes good health. Rabbits groom themselves frequently and can accumulate hairballs that may cause intestinal problems. It also helps keep down the hair around the house, which surely helps your health by reducing your stress.

Rabbits almost never need a bath. In fact, because they are easily stressed and overheated, it’s not usually a good idea. If they get something on their fur that needs to be removed - pine sap, dog feces, a household product - it’s best to spot-remove the material with water only. A little pet shampoo is acceptable, but should be diluted and used sparingly.

Trimming your rabbit’s nails can be a trial. Rabbits are akin to small dogs in that they tend to be fairly high strung. As prey for so many larger species, they evolved to be on a constant look out for danger. Even though they’re safe and well protected in your home, those instincts are still there. Proper technique can help overcome those instincts when they kick in (sometimes literally) to make nail trimming difficult.

First, pick yourself a nice open area, such as the bathroom or living room floor. Lay down a couple of towels, one of which will be used to wrap the rabbit, in order to restrain him or her. The other towel makes it easy to pick up the nail clippings and discard them. Arrange your materials so everything you may need is close at hand. That way you can stay seated near your rabbit for the whole procedure.
