Rabbit Care
If you are planning on getting a rabbit you need to now that they will need a hutch or cage to live in, food and a food bowl also a water bottle. What they will need for there bedding is, wood shavings, hay, straw and some cut up news paper for the cold weather. Dont forget about vet bills because they can cost alot. You should always check that your rabbit has water and that the water bottle does not turn green, if it does then you should think about cleaning it. Rabbits do like to have a friend so you should really think about getting two or more rabbits. Also you should clean out your rabbit hutch at least once a week. Also you should bye a large rabbit run so he or she can eat grass. A run really should have a top to it to stop cats or dogs from getting in.
Choosing a Rabbit
There are lots of breeds of rabbits to pick from, but you should pick a breed of rabbit you like then look up on the breed and find out about its behaviour. After you have done that you can go out and find the breed you are looking for, and if you find the breed you are looking for and you like it then I would bye it because if you come back the next day it might not be there.If you cant find the breed of rabbit you are looking for then you may have to find a breeder who breeds that breed of rabbit.
Breeding Rabbits
If you are going to breed your rabbit you need to know about the other rabbit you are going to breed it with because the other rabbit could have a weak heart or some sort of disease, if it is your rabbit then you dont need to worry about anything. If it is not you rabbit then you should talk to the purson who ownes the rabbit befor you start breeding. Remember rabbits dont always want to have babys so dont be shocked if your rabbit does not want to mate.
My Rabbit Ivy
Ivys favourite food is carrots, also she is house trained so she goes to the toilet in a litter tray. Ivy runs around the hole house and even goes up and down the stairs. She is a pedigree English spot and is really cheeky and if something or someone gets in her way she will head but it. Ivy was born on the 24th of March 2007 and I got her at 8 weeks old from a man called Tony Taylor. In this picture she is seen in my room on my bed.
My other rabbit Bonny
Bonny is my other rabbit, she is also a pedigree but she is a Rex rabbit. She is more scared than Ivy but is more outgoing. Rex rabbits are very soft and they feal like velvit. She likes to sit on your lap and be stroked. Her favourite food is carrots the same as Ivy. Sorry about the bad picture but she would not sit still. This is Bonny the day after we got her.
