¿Cómo CUIDAR UN CONEJO? 🐰 ¡Guía Completa de CUIDADOS DEL CONEJO!

Although they are increasingly common pets, rabbits need specific care to be happy and be with us for a long time. For this very reason, at Animal Expert, we have prepared a complete guide for you with the essential care requirements for rabbits. Let's get started. Rabbits are lagomorphs, that is, they are not rodents, but so they need special care that is different from hamsters or guinea pigs. In the wild, rabbits love to dig, sniff and socialize with other animals. As they are gregarious animals, they can also live between six and eight years, although in some cases they have exceeded 10. The cage will be your rabbit's nest, where it will sleep and spend most of its time. Therefore, we recommend that you provide it with a cage that is as spacious as possible so that it can move freely. The size will be directly related to its quality of life, and for this reason, we recommend that you have one that is at least 80 square centimeters. Always place it in an environment without drafts or direct sunlight. A smaller one can cause stress and anxiety. Also, if you have a couple, the ideal cage should be 4 square meters. Some people even dedicate entire rooms to them. Inside the cage, there will be a tray or corner for them to relieve themselves. A bottle of at least half a liter, a bowl for eating, a towel and wood for gnawing.

The rabbit's diet should be based on fresh feed, which should be offered in abundance and without limitations. We can supplement their diet with a tablespoon of feed and fresh green leafy vegetables such as lamb's lettuce, carrot leaves, dandelion. However, the diet of young rabbits will be somewhat different. We are talking about rabbits between two and seven months old. In their case, the the amounts of vegetables will be limited to small quantities, but they will be offered in abundance in Feed and Feed. Here above, we leave you a complete video about feeding a rabbit. Don't miss this card. Rabbits clean themselves. Therefore, it is not advisable to bathe a rabbit except in cases where they are really dirty. If you want to do so, choose a quiet space and carry out this process calmly, never placing them on their backs as this causes them a lot of stress. Use a shampoo with a neutral pH. On the contrary, brush them regularly to remove dirt and dead hair, thus preventing them from swallowing it. Another important aspect is to cut their nails regularly if they do not wear down. To clean the rabbit's cage, you can use vinegar or enzymatic products. Remember that during cleaning the rabbit should be kept away from the area. Eliminating bacteria and bad odors is essential, especially if we are teaching our rabbit to use the corner outside the cage and rabbits are highly physically active. For this reason, it is very important to let your rabbit out of its cage at least a couple of times a day, always under supervision, as it can roll over cables or objects that are dangerous to it. You can also set up runs for it with items that you buy in the store or that you design yourself. Toys of all kinds are allowed. It is also important that you spend time with it and show it affection and attention. Remember that rabbits are intelligent animals that can learn tricks and commands if you dedicate time and patience to them. In addition to daily hygiene, you should know that your rabbit should see the vet regularly when he tells you to. They also need to follow a vaccination schedule. In addition, they are susceptible to various diseases such as heat stroke, fungus, coccyx, colds or scabies. In addition, you should go urgently if you notice that it is not eating or drinking, has not urinated, or is acting listless, has fallen or has trouble breathing. Above you will find a very complete video where veterinarian Susanna Gonzalez will talk to you about the typical diseases that rabbits have. Don't miss it. Remember also that to pick up the rabbit you should run one hand over its chest and the other over its hind legs. You should never grab it by its legs, ears or skin. You could hurt it. Nor should we chase it or scare it unnecessarily. They are very sensitive animals. Now you know the essential care a rabbit should have. Are you still hungry for more? What would you like to know?
