What to know when adopting a rabbit
If you’re thinking about adopting a rabbit, you need to be ready to make a commitment. These furry creatures need lots of care and attention and have lifespans ranging up to 12 years. Here’s what a pet bunny needs to thrive.
• To be spayed or neutered: rabbits that are sterilized live longer healthier lives, and are easier to train and bond with. Fixing your bunny may also make it less prone to aggressive and destructive behaviors.
• Lots of exercise: your rabbit should be left in its cage while you sleep and while you’re away from home, but make sure it gets lots of time out of its cage to roam around the house and play with you.
• Something to chew: a rabbit’s teeth never stop growing and chewing is how they keep their chompers in check. Give them lots of things to munch on like hay, crunchy veggies, twigs and chew toys. Don’t forget to bunny-proof your house so they don’t gnaw at your furniture and electrical wires.
Rabbits make great pets but require as much maintenance as cats do. As long as you’re prepared to spend time caring for your long-eared friend, you’ll have a wonderful companion for years to come.
