i guess a sign of a better breeder is someone who will refuse to sell you an underage rabbit. Please don’t get me wrong, I dun mean to criticize you or anything like that. When I was first sold my little boy I wouldn’t have cared if he was 1 week or 1 years old. However, after my readings off the net on rabbits and all the shared stories from other members in this forum, I have to admit that when it comes to underage bunnies, 9 out of 10 don’t make it pass a few months. It’s very sad for the new owners who are usually first time rabbit owners. Some even give up having rabbits.

Alternatively, if you are willing to spend more, you can always get your rabbits imported from reputable rabbitries in US.

To all in general,

Totally agree. I would also like to stress that take things one step at a time. Everything we do goes by level and even games on social network only allows you to level up after certain EXP gained.

Make sure you can keep a rabbit alive for x number of years first before venturing into things like breeding and etc. But make sure you have sound objectives to breed other than having the intention of "harap dapat rezeki kembali". In my opinion, making a profit out of our rabbits is downright exploitation.

And the right frame of mind is that, you will be lucky even to break even but that is beside the point. Another point to take when looking at a reputable breeder. In my books, a reputable breeder does not only emphasize on physical soundness, but health & psychological well being of the animal is also taken care of. If a breeder is telling you that he/she can earn through their breeding, I will avoid him/her at all cost.

This applies across all species of pets we raise. I applaud the many pet lovers that has taken unto themselves to breed ethically, fully equipped with dispensable knowledge and sharing knowledge gained with fellow enthusiasts. I hope many will come to emulate them.

When one values a pet, it come in all angles. Physical appearance (the first impression) & physical soundness (everlasting joy).

Also bear in mind that sick animals produces sicker animals. Who suffer? Breeder's reputation & some one's beloved pet. Having had so many rabbits died in one's care, isn't it enough to inspire one to at least fight for "justice" in the form of not patronizing irresponsible breeders?

For me, even if one of my rabbits die, all hell would broke loose. Sadly, it is not the case to some because to them, that "breed" is "rare" and can only be found with one, making it mandatory to patronize and not bothered about quality in health.

"ignorance is bliss" they say....

one Q;
do we need to trim the rabbit's nail once in a while?
my few month old rabbit's nail is growing longer...

yes u have to..
in the wild they tend to burrow and run about thats why their nails are always short..but in captivity u have to make the effort to trim thier nails..

just wanna know when can i bring the rabbit for grooming...my rabbit is still 4 mths plus....but when he poop...his poop stick at his fur...he have long fur...is angora mix...just wonder when he can start grooming...and i realize maybe he ate alfafa hay cause his nose and hands also grennish d...how? he is brown color....btw i start giving him pellet yesterday...i bought show bunny feed....cause around my area all selling cheap pellet....finally after 3 petshop i found show bunny feed....wanted to buy pro optimum but dun hv...i cant imagine pet family also nvr sell such brand...more pet shop focus on cat n dog food only

thx for your advise.. but a question here... my rabbit dun like to chew.. he way too notty to go kacau my other rabbit.. and everytime he eat he will waste a lot of food where he korek all the thing out.. haiz.... puchong is very far.. i stay at wangsamaju.. =.=..

My rabbits is 5 months old....I give them Alfafa hay but now I order 3kg Alfafa Hay and 1kg timothy hay because I want to exchange to timothy Hay slowly..So they can easily adapt to the changes....I always provide them Hay and little pellets everyday but too scared to give them vegetables....I know vegetables can give as treat but I'm still scared to give them. Some more they just 5 months. Some articles that I read from internet said, after 3months can give vege to rabbits and some said, after 1 year...I'm just confused and thats why I didn't give them vegetables till now..huhuhu

well how old are your bunnies?
unless underage is different case..coz the stomach and gut not fully develop..those "ready to rehome" are fine on their own..that is also why pick rabbit right age is very important

said many times already
u can feed timothy even if they are still small.. give unlimited hay and pellets <6months
after 6 months switch to timothy completely..limit pellets and alfafa

gx~!

Sorry, what does gx~! means?

congratulation XD

thanks. gonna buy her a nail cutter soon.
bought the rabbit during a round to jalan pasar pet shop somewhere in january. she was the cutest around.
here is the picture when she was barely 3 days in my house. likes to pick on aloe vera and biting whatever comes to her way.
had been more civilized after 2 weeks. no more biting around.
good thing she always go back inside her cage to pee


err... i don't even know which breed, btw.

Fully agreed with your statement above, yes I do find some people in this forum are very judgemental too!

Added on March 17, 2010, 10:58 amHeat-stroke can happen to any age of rabbits, not only underage rabbit. In my opinion even if I buy the rabbits from reputable breeders, nobody can guarantee that the rabbits will not get heat-stroke under my care. In my case, my rabbits are house outside in the garden under the tree shade. Apparently with our recent weather condition like this, not good for them at all. I admit I am still learning...rabbit is more fragile than cavies.

I like the word civilized. I think that's the best word to describe our rabbits. Sometimes more so than us humans. I don't mean you're uncivilized though...LOL!

your sense of humor tend to sway towards uncivilized manner..LOL!
btw, those just out from the shop rabbit /pet tend to bite around. things will get better once they adapt to the new home / surrounding.

I really agree with you. Coz I need to bring myself down to that level to get some messages across. Nice and kind words just doesn't work sometimes. LOL!

They generally need time to get used to. They are especially shy because not much human contacts. Once hit certain cute age, they are shipped to pet shops by the loads. When they get used to you, they will show their real behavior. Each and everyone have their own unique behavior. That's the best part about this hobby. To know and understand your beloved pet.
