Beaucoup de gens obtiennent un lapin pour un animal de compagnie, pensant elles peuvent juste le mettre dans un camp. Ils le prennent dehors aux occasions rares qu'ils se sentent comme lui. Mais ce n'est pas très salutaire pour le lapin et ne fournit pas au propriétaire d'animal de compagnie plus de problèmes à la longue. Les lapins ne sont pas les jouets mécaniques. Ils exigent le soin.

Un secteur où les propriétaires court-circuiteront souvent que le soin est en cherchant les services d'un vétérinaire expérimenté, un avec une connaissance des lapins. Beaucoup de vétérinaires sont excellents avec des chiens et des chats mais ont peu d'occasions de traiter des lapins, ainsi leurs qualifications sont limitées. Beaucoup de propriétaires jetteront vers le haut de leurs mains et laissez simplement le lapin mourir quand il est malade puis obtiennent des autres. Une situation regrettable.

Lapins soyez mignon comme estacade à claire-voie, chacun convient. Et c'est vrai. Mais le lapin que les propriétaires savent que leurs petits amis ont des comportements normaux, certains indiquerait les instincts, qui peuvent les rendre destructifs.

Les lapins ne sont aucun respecters de propriété, ainsi vous devez être vigilant. Les laisser hors du camp pour avoir plaisir à courir autour sont importants pour leur santé et amuser pour leur propriétaire. Mais laissé non surveillé, ils entreront habituellement dans ce que le propriétaire appellerait ennui joli rapidement. Le lapin l'appellerait ayant l'amusement.

Beaucoup de gens traitent leur chien comme outil. 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.

Gastrointestinal stasis is a medical condition in which a rabbit’s digestive system stops moving material. ‘Stasis’ is the Latin root of the English word ’static’. The effects are painful and, left untreated, often fatal.

It can have a number of causes, including a dental problem, infection, gas and others. Inadequate fiber content in the rabbit’s diet is sometimes a factor. Be sure to feed your rabbit a diet that has around 20-25% fiber in the form of timothy or oat hay, or other grassy grains.

Since rabbit urine can have an overpowering smell, litter training is something most pet owners will want to do. Even feces, as unpleasant as they can be, aren’t as big a problem. They often can be cleaned up with no stain if the rabbit has an accident around the house while roaming free. But rabbit urine stain and odor is very hard to get out of carpets. Prevention is worth more than a pound of cure here.

Unfortunately, litter training a rabbit isn’t anywhere near as easy as it is in the case of a dog. But, with the right methods and materials, it can be done.

‘They breed like rabbits’ is a familiar phrase. And it’s true. Rabbits are prolific. As prey for a wide variety of predators in the wild, the species survived, in part, by producing many offspring. But that ease and number can represent a problem for pet owners.

Breeding is best left to professionals or those who have experience. The breeding itself is simple, since (obviously) the rabbits are the major actors in the process. But the effort that surrounds the project is not small.

Domestic rabbits spend most of their lives in a cage. That sometimes strike people as sad, but the rabbits don’t seem to mind too much. Unlike dogs or other pets, they don’t rebel at the cage, so much as see it as a safe haven. Rabbits like warrens.

But there is one difference between a real rabbit warren and the typical cage. Rabbit warrens in the wild are a connected series of tunnels and small caves that the animals use to hide in. A cage often doesn’t offer the same space or even the same kind of protective atmosphere.

Ok, admittedly .. the only way to completely rabbit proof your home … is not to have a rabbit. But there are many ways to tip the odds in your favor without getting rid of pet rabbit.

The first thing is to remember Bacon’s famous dictum: Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. Here, that means: Rabbits like to chew. Among other things, their teeth grow throughout their lives and chewing helps keep them under control. You can’t stop them from chewing, but you can redirect that instinct into ways that are beneficial for the rabbit and safer for you.

Keeping electrical cords out of reach is an early challenge. If you let your rabbit run around the house, and most everyone will want to at some time, keeping your rabbit’s teeth away from electricity is vital. Literally. Rabbits will readily chew through a power cord connected to a lamp or computer. Not only does this ruin the cord, but it’s potentially fatal to the rabbit.

Many people find large, commercial rabbit cages beyond their budget. A rabbit benefits from a cage that is at least six times his body area, apart from the space required for a litter box. For most, that means something at least 2 feet by 3 feet, plus space for the box. But that’s the minimum. To provide your rabbit with room to move around, larger is better.

While commercial rabbit cages are often outstanding - large, innovative in design and solidly made - they can burden the pocketbook. For those who have a little do-it-yourself skill and a willingness to try, making a rabbit cage isn’t too difficult.

Parents will often get a rabbit specifically as a pet for their child. Your child looks at you with those big eyes and says ‘please’ and the rabbit comes home. But rabbits are unlike cats or dogs and don’t react the same way to child behavior.

Rabbits have abilities that evolved in the species over thousands of years. They’re fast, have sharp claws and teeth, and a flight response that motivates them to flee at the first sign of danger. But those very aids to the rabbit can be harmful to the child.
