JD'S BUNNY FARM

You should always feed fresh pellets every day
You should always measure the feed because the first sign your bunny is sick is that he quits eating.
Adding tea to the drinking water reduces the ammonia in the urine and helps reduce bacteria overgrowth.
Very few bunnies ever die of old age!

Domestic rabbits are born naked, deaf and blind.

Jack rabbits are born fully furred and ready to run.

Mothers only nurse the young once a day for the first two weeks.

A girl bunny is called a doe
A boy bunny is called a buck
A baby bunny is a kit
A bunch of baby bunnies is a litter

BUNNIES NEED FRESH WATER EVERYDAY.

Leading causes of rabbit deaths:

HAIRBALLS - rabbits need hay or straw as part of their weekly diet so help them pass the hair out of their system. Chewable papaya tablets or fresh papaya and fresh pineapple help as well. A rabbit that quits eating probably is developing a hairball. ALWAYS CONSIDER IT AN EMERGENCY WHEN YOUR RABBIT QUITS EATING! Delay can cost your bunny it's life!

DIARRHEA - abrupt changes in feed or greens fed to young rabbits can lead to diarrhea, dehydration and death. NEVER FEED LETTUCE! If rabbits show any signs of diarrhea, remove all green pellets and feed old fashioned Quaker Oatmeal or dry bread. Willow leaves and mint will also help stop the diarrhea.
ACCIDENT - rabbits don't always land on their feet when dropped like a cat. Broken backs are not uncommon injuries. Dislocated spines are treatable but fractures are not.
HEAT STROKE - Rabbits don't sweat or pant. They can only exchange heat through the blood vessels in their ears and can become overheated and die very easily.
