In receiving these instructions the new owner understands the importance of the info listed here.
All bunnies go home with feed and hay for the rabbit to help transition to the feed you choose..
There are no warranties after the bunny leaves the farm because it is impossible
to know how they are being fed or their living conditions or circumstances.
We never knowingly sell ANY sick bunny. Call us immediately if there is a problem.
We will try to work with the new owner if a problems arises – at our discretion.
YOUR NEW Rabbit Care INFO
WATER - Make sure to NEVER run out. Your bunny will die without it
HAY – IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN bagged feed. Give as much as they will eat in a day.
Remove old dirty hay.
FOOD - Amount = 1 oz per pound of rabbit weight. Remember - their natural diet is HAY
1/8 cup for 1 lb baby bunny 1/ 2 cup for 4 lb bunny 1 cup for 8 lb bunny
Up to 3 months I give TBLS plain whole milk yogurt w ith feed spinkled on top
OVERFEEDING A YOUNG BUNNY can cause BLOAT or death
Type that I use now is BLUE SEAL BUNNY 16 and I have had good results BUT.....
**BE AWARE that if you ONLY feed pellets it can kill the rabbit because
the bunny needs hay for fiber to digest food.
*If you change the type or brand of feed you will need to gradually mix the new feed
into the old feed over a week to prevent stomach problems and/or death to the rabbit*
.
BEDDING – NEVER USE CEDAR = POISON. Use shredded newspaper or pine shavings or hay
FRESH Fruits & Veggies Limit to small portions 2-3 times week, ONLY after 6 months of age
I give kale, bok choy, celery, apple, pear, banana, or carrot slices to mine. No seeds though.
HEALTH ISSUES - CALL ME IMMEDIATELY!
HEAT - Keep your rabbit out of the direct sun, provide ventilation & frozen water bottles if temps are over 80
CHECK DAILY that your bunny is pooping
Anytime a rabbit stops eating or pooping or has wet butt it is a VERY SERIOUS problem.
A rabbit can die within 1-2 days if you do not treat it quickly
STOP feeding pellets, give hay and water ONLY until their appetite returns
BLOAT looks like a full balloon is in your rabbit's tummy. This is a quick killer of rabbits.
FOLLOW the instructions above but:
immediately give 1 full dropper of Baby Gas X every 2-3 hrs and gently rub the tummy.
BATHING & GROOMING
Rabbit's feet & at times butts, get dirty quickly – place the rabbit in only enough warm water to cover feet..
Towel dry and carefully blow dry. You should not soak the rabbit. Dry shampoo is ok.
Brushing is very good, Nails should be trimmed when they get long.
Check ears (spots = mites) Mineral oil to each ear for a week will kill eggs & mites or best
treatments are:
Ivermectin - 4 drops behind head every 3 months for large adult rabbits.
"Advantage" for rabbits/cats works very well.
