Shelters In Crisis!!
|
Shelters across the country are in crisis right now, overloaded with unwanted rabbits
who are in danger of being euthanized. Blame it on Easter "impulse purchases" or
simply the amazing reproductive capabilities of rabbits, but once again this year,
If you can find room in your home, please consider helping your local shelter or rescue by
adopting or fostering a bunny in need - you'll be saving a life. Literally.

Easter And Bunnies Don't Mix

Please Don't Give Pets As Gifts!!
|
Shelters and rescues are inundated with animals that were given as
gifts to people who didn't really want them and don't know how to take
care of them. They expect this year to be no different, beginning on
the day after Christmas. Please don't give a live animal as a gift -
give a stuffed plush toy instead, or consider making a donation to a
rescue or shelter in someone's name as a gift. Just please don't give
a live animal as a gift - it requires a lifelong commitment to the
pet, and too often they get shortchanged. Thanks!!

Bunnies spray for a number of reasons, and it's up to you to figure out why!!

This page still under construction

Spraying (especially by males) may mean a number of things, and many rabbits are
surrendered to shelters or set loose because their owners don't know
what their rabbit is saying to them.
The biggest reason rabbits spray, especially males, is hormonal - when
they begin to mature, the hormones will kick in and they will start
spraying as a response to puberty. This is why you should get your bunny
spay or neuter
your bunny as soon as he or she is old enough.
Bunnies will also spray to claim territory, although this behavior
should also be ameliorated by getting your bunny fixed.
Believe it or not, when you get
sprayed by a rabbit, it is actually a show of affection. The rabbit is
claiming you as his property and marking you with his scent. Most of
the time this behavior is easily cured after spaying/neutering, although
sometimes more training is required.

If your rabbit is
litterbox trained
and sometimes leaves puddles
elsewhere (especially just outside the litterbox), he may be
complaining about something. Rabbits don't just forget their litterbox
habits - this could be an indication that he isn't feeling well.
If it appears that your rabbit is
straining to urinate, take him to the vet - it may be a sign of
calcium buildup in the bladder (sludge or a stone).
See also Health.
Male rabbits that
have not been neutered will also mark female rabbits as their
territory by spraying them, and sometimes female rabbits spray as
well.
Sometimes even a well-trained rabbit will spray in response to
external stresses, such as the introduction to a new pet or person the
rabbit doesn't know yet. This is typically a temporary situation and
will abate once the rabbit is more comfortable with its surroundings.
More coming soon...
