Rabbit Bunny
Rabbit Bunny
I adopted a bunny rabbit and three days after bringing him home I broke out in a rash. The doctor said its an?
the doctor said its an allergy related to the rabbit. Either the pine shavings in the cage, the bunny shampoo or the rabbit himself. Doc said to get rid of rabbit but I really want to keep him as I rescued him from a neglectful home and am nurshing him back to health. Anyone know of any way I can live w/the bunny?
http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-12/allergies.html Here’s a great article on rabbit allergies to figure out if it’s really the rabbit you’re allergic to and what to do if you are. Please don’t use PINE or cedar shavings in a rabbit cage – they are known to kill rabbits and other small caged animals. Use aspen shavings, instead. Unless the rabbit is absolutely filthy, there is no need to give it a bath either! Just spot clean it, if necessary. Bathing is stressful – a newly adopted rabbit doesn’t need any more stress – and it removes the natural oils from the coat. Please see my website, too, on more rabbit care so you can give the rabbit the best care you can; good luck!
Do you have any experiences or stories about your rabbit/bunny that are heartwarming/funny?
I have a dwarf rabbit and plenty of memories along with her.
Do you have any great ones to share?
My free range house rabbit has taken to “sneak attacks” lately. If somebody is sitting on the couch or lying in bed, you know, reading, sleeping…he’ll jump not just onto the furniture but right onto your stomach. It scared me the first few times he jumped into my lap when I was watching TV, but I’ve gotten used to it…although many a nap has been ruined by the unexpected pleasure of having a rabbit land on my face.
And he’s a little guy, too – it’s pretty unbelievable how high he can jump.
