Bunny Health Basics
Unlike cats
and dogs, rabbits do not require vaccinations. They are "prey"
animals and will hide signs of illness as long as possible. Often,
when illness is noticed, it is too late to help. Therefore, it is
critical to check your rabbit frequently for signs of illness.
Unusual bumps, fur loss, abnormally small feces, diarrhea, gas or
gurgling in the gut, straining to defecate or urinate, hunched
appearance, prolonged sitting in the litter pan, and loud grinding
of teeth are all considered signs of illness and should be
investigated promptly.

Rabbit Care Guidelines
Rabbits are wonderful house pets. They are highly social
and friendly and live an average of 8 to 12 years. They
require as much attention as a cat or dog. Because rabbits
are bred for appearance and not personality, all breeds can make
wonderful companions. Choose a rabbit for his/her individual
personality. The information offered here is designed to help
you and your rabbit enjoy a happy life together.
