I wouldn't give fresh vegetables of any kind to 1 month olds. Of course they will be munch on them happily. That does not mean it is good for them just like any other food for the matter. Give them unlimited Alfafa Hay and pellets will do with more Sky Juices.=quote]

Sangterap..do u really3 dont give vegee to young bunnies??
hmm..let me share my 6-7 years of experience raising these 'budak2'..
last 2 months,one of anak Oreo,the Mimzy Jr. is so damn weak..
lebih kurang nyawa2 ikan jugak laaa..
that time he was about 2 weeks like that..
he refuse to suck his mother milk,drink,eat any kinds of fresh vegie..
But me,my mom,my bro keep on suapkan die pure honey..ade la sikit2 telan..
later,we'all gave up n put him back in the cage wif his family...
then,we'all found out he is eating berebut2 dengan mummy die...u know what..??
wanna knoe?curious?
he was eating DAUN PINANG !!!

So,conclusion my rabbits so so weirdo..they love it like crazy the daun pinang,
they also eat white RICE,COOKIES,CAKES,NESTUM,OATS,BREADS.. last time i gave the adults DURIAN..kah3..
but a very little ahh..
MIlo and Oreo love it! they even want it moooreee..
yesterday i gave Vicoe coconut jelly..he likes it!
hahaha..Me The Crazy Owner!

to put pic in forum...
u need to register n upload ur pic at some on9 website...such as webshots n etc etc...
then there will be URL appear on the website...
afta tht...u can put the URL here n ur pic will show...

for more info about rabbits its located at the first page of the thread

i wasn;t too sure what is the drink here mean.
you mean the milk?
as for me, last time when i got my rabbit, i provide them with unlimited access to drink and food.
they are 3 month old now but still i provide them with unlimited access to alfafa hay and pellets and water.
was wondering will 6 weeks need more care from the parent?
to me, they look too young.
hope someone, sangterap or beh can clarify.
the first page got lots of info.
i read it and make research for 2/3 months before having my first bunny.
bunnies are easy to take care but they are fragile too.

guy...i got some kemuskilan (curious) about my wabbit.araoun 2,3, days my wabbit pee other than yellow colour...
yesterday it become worst...they bring out the red pinky fluid. banyak jugala smpai basah paper dalam cage...
i'm so worry la..i check both my wabbit bontot...but no one give any clue who's pee like that. izzit normal???...i saw they just normal loop aound..running around poo and poo around( never see them pee yet in my house) a eat a lot...
why aa...
i just give them alfalfa hay pellet and sky juice..

Honey, u dah bela rabbits for 6-7 years kan? Can i know how long is ur rabbit life span? Any of them live more than 3 - 4 years?

My Nino was 2years++ when he died... He was suffer from several disease like runny eyes and jaw abscess. And soon after that, he died from emphysema disease. The vet said, emphysema is a rare disease. I made some research after Nino's death and found out that emphysema is cause by multi-factor, such as including lack of nutrition.

I tot i aredi took a best care for him. I treated him like my own baby. But when i think again, i realize that i was MISTREAT him.

He was crazy about food. Everytime he saw me eating something, he would come and sniff at me. And u know what his favourite food? He loved Chipsmore, Banana Cookies, Lover Letter, Benggali bread, Durian and even Burger!! He was crazy about burger... He loved the smell of the burger and will beg to get some (of course i only let him eat the bun, not the whole burger).. He hate hay/green veges and he only ate Briter Bunny pellet. And i think this is how he got that emphysema - MALNUTRITION!

Please dont repeat my mistake. And like Sangterap always repeat here- please make some research/reading and take a good care of ur bunny..


Here are some info for u guys. Please read :

Intestinal Emphysema is an uncommon disorder characterized by presence of gas-filled cysts within the wall of some parts of gastrointestinal tract.

It is proposed that Intestinal Emphysema may have been caused by a combination of bacteria, nutritional, and perhaps host factors. An unbalance diet may have been the leading factor. Higher fiber and lower starch levels in diet were recommended to resolve the malnutrition problems and to prevent new cases of intestinal emphysema. [COLOR=blue]

This was summarized from my reading of this research : http://www.dcam.upv.es/8wrc/docs/Pathology...cayvlap_mod.pdf.

Mimzy,

Well, I just share my experiences with fellow forumer. If you feel skeptical about what I share, by all means just continue doing what you think is right. Years of experience does not mean anything to me because anyone can be keeping rabbits for more than 1000 years but if they still do not research and learn new things, I believe they will still be stuck at where they started. But what I learn about rabbits so far is that they have very sensitive digestive system and giving a bad diet may help screw things up.

Maybe your breed of rabbits tahan lasak and for you, 2 to 3 years are the maximum lifespan but I would love to have my rabbits around to more than 10 years and hope the same for fellow forumers. Because they do matter to me. And therefore, I try to limit the risk of premature deaths.

Nico,

Nice sharing there, good research work! That is how we can learn together.

And I cannot agree more and can only summarize what you say by saying "WHAT YOU THINK/FEEL IS GOOD FOR YOUR RABBIT MAY NOT BE THE BEST THING FOR IT".

Seeing your rabbit munching away at certain food does not mean it is nutritious and good for it. I also like to eat food at the mamak stall but those food contains too much cholesterols or maybe some bacteria. I makan, I get food poisoning and too much cholesterols caused me to have heart attack.

Same concept that can be applied to both humans and animals.

make ur rabbit drink more water.. i oso have the same prob before.. my vet ask to put small amount of glucose in their drinking bowl..

nicoty_nye,
i cant tell u la the details,sampai umur brape semua..
i had Mox b4,and shes too old enuff when i took her from my neighbour..
and a couples time when she gave birth the baby owez die..
maybe bcoz its my 1st time to breed her..
then later my brother and i made some research..then we know how to take care of them..
kinda pening+tired+susah at first and now its bcome eassier..
And Mox died not b'cause of sick etc but my brother accidently hit her by car..
it was around last year..
We didn't caged her because it time for he 'riadah'..didnt aspect such thing happend..
If everybodys wasn't in bad mood that day that thind would't happen!

and plus,ur Nico must be from a good breed,thats why he's get sick..sensitive..
mine punya antibody kuat..kebal..thay're all are just a local breed..
so far they're not sick,just a litthe injury bcause of fight..
if i take care of them like u all did,give those expensive food,i think my family kena tinggal kat pondok laaa..
maybe some of u will say"nak bela sgt tp..bla3"
if i tak memepertahankan 'budak2' ni thay all dah lame jd Rabbits stew,Gulai Lemak Arnab laaa..
my dad owez looking for a chance to slaught them..bcause he said "dah melambak sgt!"
but he's the one yg suruh they all mate...
arghh..dah jadi karangan pulak!
so sorry guys emotional pulak..

nicoty_yne,

Sorry to hear about your bunny. General rule is, don't simply feed your rabbits anything that they like. And sometimes you just have no choice but to force feed them good food. And get them to eat hay/grass.

I'd like to share my experience... maybe it might help some others, or if there's something wrong I've been doing all these years I can learn from others too.

I have been keeping a pair of rabbits since 2001. That's about 7++ years already. Both of them are still alive today. Their lifespan is supposed to be about 12-15 years so they're 3/4 there already and still going strong. I feed my rabbits normal pellets (local pellet, non branded), and my mom would give them veggies if she has leftovers (uncooked of course!). My father buys them imported Australian carrots and gives them a few slices from time to time (a bit overkill actually but he does it anyway ) and ocassionally they get fruit peels for fruits that they can eat.

Apart from that they much daily on the grass at home (the grass planted in my house is the good quality needle grass type, similar to short hay), and the rest, they roam around the veggie patch at home and eat all the leaves that they like. If there are plants that the rabbit is not supposed to eat, it'll be in a different garden (there's a separator between the two types of gardens in my house). My rabbits are let out into the garden first thing in the morning when my father wakes up, and they've been conditioned to return back to their cage by evening. So they get to play the whole day in the garden (my mom calls it destroying the garden cos they like to bury underground and dig out all her veggie out of the soil), and they're happy. My bunnies also understand me and vice versa.

Proper diet + happy bunny = Healthy bunny

Hope my experience helps...

yeah...i agreed with u sang terap

Generally, I am happy to see that most forumers here have came a long way learning new things. I still remember in the older thread versions we used to argue/discuss about the need for HAY in rabbits' diet. Some are adamant on the beliefs that hay is not necessary but at the end also started feeding hay.

We also used to discuss/argue about breeds and their standards and today we have really nice rabbits all around be it purebred or mixed.

It is very satisfying seeing people who knows how to appreciate and give their rabbits the best.

I do hope to see that raising rabbits in Malaysia is not just a phase/fad that come and go. I hope this hobby does not end up like how the Flower Horn fish craze died without a trace.

Keep up the great job everyone!
