<p>What more is known is that <strong>rabbits</strong> reproduce quickly and easily. What most are not aware of the excellent relations it has with humans.</p>
<p>In stock cone countries, Britain and Denmark are one of the most popular animals as pets. They are very <strong><a href="http://www.mybackyardhabitat.org/">sociable and friendly animals</a></strong> also adapt to all circumstances and is easy to live with them.</p>
<p>Have any advantage over other domestic animals. For example, do not need to go for walks like dogs and are not independent as cats. It also can pet and are <strong>loving animals</strong>. They are intelligent and have a great capacity for learning.</p>
<p>Like any animal that we have at home, needs a proper place where they feel secure and calm. Must not be loose in the house constantly to prevent harm and to make their needs throughout the house. It is therefore important to delineate the areas to relieve themselves and play, avoiding risks such as electrical cords or other.</p>
<p><span id="more-10"></span>For our rabbit has its place, we can choose between wire cages to wooden houses. Its size will depend largely on the size of the rabbit will live inside. They need good ventilation, and as well adapted to low temperatures, even below zero, may be situated outside the house. In summer it is advisable that are shaded and well ventilated and does not tolerate heat very well.</p>
<p>If your <strong>rabbit has a habit of biting</strong>, we can spray around the house we do not want the rabbit has access to spray sold in pet stores.</p>
<p>Rabbit for food preparations are commonly used by veterinarians. They are usually of good quality and affordable. They usually contain all substances necessary for a balanced diet. Therefore, if we want to give some vegetables like lettuce or carrots, you can be rewarded, but not necessarily as a supplement to their food preparation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.mybackyardhabitat.org/category/pet-health-tips">Rabbits</a></strong> need a variety of foods to stay healthy. Susan A. Brown, a veterinarian at the Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital, explains that the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits allows them to live mainly on leaves and grasses. Wild rabbits can forage food to meet their needs, but <strong><a href="http://www.mybackyardhabitat.org/">pet rabbits </a></strong>need to have healthy foods supplied to them as part of their regular diet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mybackyardhabitat.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/images4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-165 aligncenter" title="List of Healthy Foods for Rabbits" src="http://www.mybackyardhabitat.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/images4-300x226.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="226" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Hay</strong><br />
Hay is an important part of every rabbit&#8217;s diet. Pet Education indicates that rabbits should have fresh hay available around the clock. Adult rabbits need timothy or oat hay to provide roughage in their diet. This reduces the risk of developing intestinal blockages.</p>
<p>Rabbits younger than 7 months can have alfalfa hay, but it is not appropriate for adult rabbits because of its caloric content. According to Brown, legume hays, which are hays made from alfalfa, peas or peanuts, provide too many calories for a house rabbit and can lead to obesity.</p>
<p>Grass hay is nutrient-rich but lower in calories, which is more appropriate for a house rabbit&#8217;s sedentary lifestyle. Brown also advises against feeding straw to rabbits. Straw has no nutrients and can lead to malnutrition if it is used as part of the rabbit&#8217;s regular diet.</p>
<p><strong>Pellets</strong><br />
There are two different opinions regarding the use of rabbit pellets. Pet Education indicates that juvenile rabbits under 7 months can eat unlimited amounts of rabbit pellets. They have high amounts of nutrients and help to ensure that the young rabbit gains the right amount of weight. <span id="more-164"></span></p>
<p>However, limit the amount of pellets for adult rabbits to 1/4 cup per every 6 pounds of body weight. Pellets are high in calories and can cause obesity in adult and senior rabbits.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Brown advises against feeding pellets to rabbits of any age. She says rabbits get all the nutrition they need from a diet of hay and vegetables, as well as from their cecotropes, which are special droppings that are full of vitamins and nutrients.</p>
<p>Rabbits eat these cecotropes directly from the anus. Pellets do not wear down the teeth (which rabbits need) the way hay and vegetables do, and they lead to a sluggish digestive tract.</p>
<p><strong>Fruits and Vegetables</strong><br />
Rabbits as young as 3 months can begin eating dark leafy greens as well as root vegetables. Some particular favorites include dandelion greens, collard greens and romaine lettuce. Rabbits also enjoy fresh alfalfa and clover sprouts, green peppers, radicchio, carrots including the tops, and parsley.</p>
<p>Pet Education recommends feeding dark leafy vegetables such as mustard greens, spinach and kale in small amounts and limiting servings to once or twice per week because they contain salts from oxalic acid that cause toxicity after long-term use. The Humane Society also recommends limiting carrot consumption because of the starch content.</p>
<p>Rabbits enjoy fresh fruit, and small amounts can be provided from time to time. Apples, mangoes and papaya are acceptable in small quantities. Limit servings of bananas, grapes and dried fruit because of their high sugar content.</p>
