Decorative rabbits have a number of advantages over otherpets. Here, for example, dogs should be regularly taken out for a walk, and for long-haired four-footed - to collect wool throughout the house. Cats during molting also cause a lot of trouble, plus - they adore sharpening claws on upholstered furniture and eating home plants.

Wavy parrots, canaries, turtles,chameleons, fish is unlikely to hold on your hands. With hamsters, another problem is that they are not long-livers, a 3-year-old age is for them a maximum. Rabbits are an ideal option. Like any other pet, rabbits require knowledge of certain rules for maintenance and care.

To keep a rabbit at home, above all, you need a large enough and spacious cell. In size, these animals are larger than hamsters and mice,and by their nature they are very mobile and for better health it is better to give them more space. For the cell, choose a place not in the passage, protected from drafts, but well ventilated, inaccessible to other animals, far enough away from heating appliances, TV, radio or constantly opening doors. You can not also put the cage in the bright sun.

You can put in a cage small plastic tub, which will serve as a toilet for the pet -usually rabbits choose a certain place. This greatly facilitates the care of animals: every day you need to clean only the tub - wash and pour in it fresh sawdust. The cell itself should be cleaned once a week or even less often.

The feeder should be large enough and heavy so that rabbits do not turn it over and do notdragged in the teeth, scattering the remains of food. It is also desirable to put a special feeder or compartment in a hay cage. For water it is best to use a drinking bowl in the form of a teat, in which water does not get so polluted.

The basis of the diet of rabbits is plant food. In summer it is grass and vegetable tops, and in winter, inmostly, hay. Much less rabbits eat cabbage, carrots, apples and pears, but do not give beets at all. With pleasure rabbits nibble on branches and bark of trees. As a solid feed, they eat grains of oats, wheat, oatmeal, bran and special mixed fodder.

If you give your pet grains, beans andgrass, watch out for poisonous plants. In urban conditions, herbaceous plants should preferably be washed well, in a weak solution of manganese, and then dried. Hay, before you offer rabbits, you need to endure at least 6 weeks.

Dairy and meat products are not given to adult rabbits. But rabbits up to 2-2.5 months are very useful to give milk. Rabbits should always have water. At home, you will need to help the rabbit put himself in order.

In the pet store You can buy a special brush for combing your pet, and then his fur will always be shiny andbeautiful. Growing marigolds will need to be trimmed with special tweezers, but you need to do this very carefully, so as not to damage the ears paw. Water procedures are best avoided, but in extreme need you can prepare a rabbit bath with warm water. A special shampoo is best purchased at a pet store.
