I may be getting one tomorrow.Ive kinda read about them but i do want one that likes to be held.Also what else do they eat other then lettuce,salt wheels,and carrott's i dont wanna keep feeding it the same thing lol.
You would be able to buy dry rabbit food from a pet shop as this will give it the right balance of nutrients/vitamins/minerals it needs. fresh food such as lettuce etc is given as a supplement. also provide plenty of hay, and fresh water everyday. i think a lot of rabbits will also eat apples with the skin removed. make sure you get your rabbit vaccinated for myxamotosis too if you are planning on keeping it outdoors. Most rabbits like to be held, and will probably be more affectionate if you get it neutered when they are around 6 months old.
Yeah, you'll want to buy it an actual pellet food. The gourmet foods
are sometimes too high in some vitamins, fats, etc. so you'll want to make sure not to overfeed gourmet mixes (my dutch gets 1/4 cup gourmet food + 1/4 cup plain alfalfa pellets a day). Make sure you give him/her unlimited amounts of timothy hay and
fresh water daily. You can also litter box train yours.. my dutch learned to use the litter box in less than 2 days, but we also puppy pad trained him prior to that. He roams about the house and then goes back to his box in his "home base" to do his
business. They're very smart animals. One of the BEST toys for a rabbit is a toilet paper roll/paper towel roll.. they LOVE to tear up the cardboard and it's CHEAP. Things like lettuce, carrots, other vegetables, and fruits are only supplements to main
pellet foods; you don't want an obese rabbit! Be sure to introduce different fruits/vegetables in small portions (tbsp or less) to make sure they don't have a bad reaction (i.e. diarrhea) to it and then you can do more. They LOVE treats (Wal-Mart sells
some cheap yoghurt drop treats that are healthy) and can learn commands like "come" and "no". The easiest way to learn is to buy a book and read, read, read! I bought a book titled Rabbits that was published by The Discovery Channel and it was one of
the most informative rabbit books I've found. Good luck!
