Lessons To Be Learned From The Wildcat Foundation

By Ruth Fisher


When you decide that you are ready to own a pet, there are many options that come to mind such as puppies and kittens. However, there are also bunnies that are sold and people are loving them! The only thing that needs to be certain when you make this purchase, is to know how to properly take care of them. They are more fragile than you think as indicated by the Wildcat foundation.

It is common to see rabbits kick at you to try and get away. When they do this, it is best to let them go as this is already strenuous for them. By doing this, they are risking breaking their bones. This is why if you own one, you need to be extremely gentle so not to be harmed in any way. They also don't like to be carried in a hurry because of how tender their bones are.

If you decide on this, ensure that you have a big enough yard. They may be small in size but some can grow up to 30 pounds. This means, that they need enough grass and plenty of vegetables to be healthy. They may also need a special hay if necessary. If you feel that something is lacking, it is best that you take them to a specialist to make sure to put the pet on the right diet.

Many people are unaware but as with puppies and dogs, rabbits also require a lot of attention. Although they don't make a lot of noise, they still have big personalities and need to be given a chance to show you. If they are kept caged up and away from everyone, you could risk their happiness. They could also get sick from this. If you don't have much time to spend with them, it is best to get them a companion.

It is common to hear that rabbits have been stolen from backyards and homes. Other animals see them as prey and some humans see them as food. Make sure that you keep your pets safe when at home alone. There are also other people who did not expect the hard work and tend to let go of their pets to fend for themselves. This can be extremely dangerous for them.

All animals want to be clean however, some are natural cleaners and this is the same for rabbits. They end to lick themselves clean which means they you do not need to bath them. If for some reason you do, make sure that you dry them as fast as you can. Keep them in the sun and keep wiping them with a towel. When these animals are kept wet, they can easily catch an infection or even get pneumonia.

The one thing you will find is that rabbits tend to chew quite often. As with puppies, rabbits can sometimes be worse. You may want to invest in quite a few chew materials so these are kept occupied. Some of the items that they enjoy is cardboard boxes and even wood. You may also want to start training them from the time they are little on where to mess. Place some of their droppings in a litter box so that they start to get the picture.

It may help to have a checklist together so that you can determine what you need to buy for their care. Remember, as with any other animal, they are lifelong commitments.
