Bunny Health Basics

rabbitUnlike 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.
