“Having kept rabbits for 27 years - mostly other...”

written by unknown15 on 11/02/2006

Good Points
Friendly, intelligent - can recognise their name. Can be very tame - fun!

Bad Points
The worst possible choice for children's pet. Need lots of attention. Vet's bills!

General Comments
Having kept rabbits for 27 years - mostly other people's cast -offs - do not buy a rabbit for your child. They will inevitably get fed up and it takes considerable dedication to clean, feed and exercise rabbits daily. They can live anything from 5 to 14 years. Rabbits also panic if handled clumsily by a child and a kick hurts. They also need all-day exercise in a large run or even better the whole garden. My two are quite happy to be with my (free-range) chickens. Even my rescue cat doesn't bother them.



Rabbits are prone to many health problems - I've encountered cancer, snuffles, fly-strike even though cleaning out is my obsession, overgrown teeth, partial paralysis, diarrhoea, walking dandruff. They also need up to two jabs a year for myxi and viral h disease.



Don't just feed a commercial mix - they need fresh vegetables especially dark greens and lots of sweet meadow hay.



It saddens me that so many rabbits are stuck in cages - they need freedom - a rabbit stuck in a cage will get aggressive and is more prone to health problems. Plus seeing a happy rabbit flick up while running (like lambs) is the most amazing sight.
