Choosing Your Rabbit

Above all, it is convenient to make sure that we take a healthy and strong rabbit home if there are small ones because, in the long run, they are the ones that suffer the most if we have a loss.

That was what happened to a friend of Maria, she bought two rabbits, one for her daughter and another for her nephew and two days later her daughter’s rabbits died and the irritation that the baby caught was very strong.

The first thing we should look at is size, for rabbits of the same breed and the same date of birth, you should choose the one that has a medium size, neither thin nor fat.

You have to ask to have the rabbit in your hands, and so we can see the bum. The cleaner the bum, the healthier the pet is.

The hair or their fur must be shiny, clean, and smooth. If we touch her sides and belly, we should not notice any lumps, wounds, or anything abnormal.

The ears must be pink and the nose must be free of wounds or scars.

The teeth must be whole and aligned. Their eyes must be bright but they should not be watery or full of blemishes.

We will put the bunny on the ground to see how it is going, it should not be lame or rigid.

It seems complicated but it is not, it is simply paying attention to possible out of place signs that we see.

Choosing your rabbit’s name
