Rabbits As Pets

If you have a pet bunny, or more than one, you already know that rabbits are cute, soft and love to be petted. You know rabbits are sweet. You know they are great pets for the right family. But there may be a few things you didn't know about your bunny friends.

Rabbits are crepuscular, which means they are most active during dawn and dusk. Many people are awaken by the sounds of their rabbit playing around in the morning. If you happen to leave the cage open at night, your rabbit will surely by hoping around while you sleep.

Rabbits may not be the best pet for children. Although rabbits love attention and love to be held, they are very skittish. If you are holding a rabbit and it becomes startled, it may jump out of your arms. If you're standing when that happens, it is a long way to the floor. Rabbits need a lot of attention but shouldn't be handled too much. Rabbits do bite when afraid and a rabbit bite hurts.

It can be easy and frustrating

Training your rabbit to come to you when you call its name is actually pretty easy. Simply put, when you call your rabbit and it comes, you give it a treat. Yes, there's a little more involved. For instance you have to have a relationship with your rabbit first. Is your rabbit comfortable with you? Will it eat from you? Does it like to be held? You need to tackle these issues first, then you can start training your rabbit to do other things.
