<br>cats for pets. If you are looking for exotic pets, then dwarf bunnies
<br>are for you. They are cute, cuddly creatures, and as the name
<br>suggests, simply smaller versions of rabbits. This species requires
<br>care that is different from the regular cats and dogs. Of course,
<br>every pet requires good amount of attention, but the care requirements
<br>for each pet also differs. As such, knowing the kind of pet you will
<br>be bringing home is essential before you decide to have a dwarf bunny
<br>as a pet. Presented here are some facts about dwarf rabbits, and how
<br>you should take care of them.
<br>
<br>Dwarf Bunny Care
<br>
<br>Experts suggest that the best time to buy dwarf bunnies is when they
<br>are three to four months old. If you are getting a male dwarf bunny,
<br>ensure that it is spayed or neutered. Do not fathom keeping two males
<br>together as they view each other as competition, even in the absence
<br>of a female of the species. On the other hand, you may keep a pair of
<br>two female dwarf bunnies as pets. Finally, among the various breeds of
<br>this species, the Netherland dwarf bunny is the most docile breed to
<br>choose from. The other breeds are known to be more aggressive. With
<br>the knowledge of choosing these furry little creatures as pets, here's
<br>a look at some tips on caring for them.
<br>
<br>Dwarf bunnies require to be caged, as leaving them loose around your
<br>house is definitely not a good idea. A wire cage that is 4 feet wide
<br>and 2 feet deep and long is ideal for them. The base of the cage
<br>should either be covered with a piece of wood, some hay, or a piece of
<br>cardboard, and should never be left bare as it can harm your pet's
<br>feet.
<br>
<br>• The cage of a dwarf bunny should always be kept indoors, in the
<br>shade. They are very susceptible to developing health conditions from
<br>exposure to direct sunlight or heat. Furthermore, if kept in sight of
<br>a visible or perceived predator, dwarf bunnies can even have heart
<br>attacks.
<br>
<br>• Dwarf bunnies require litter boxes too, but ensure the ones you
<br>provide for them are lined with newspaper or timothy hay. This litter
<br>box needs to be cleaned daily in order to avoid the odor it gives out.
<br>
<br>• Apart from a litter box, your little pet will require a box where it
<br>can dig and hide as it is a burrowing animal and the love for dark
<br>spots is inherent in its nature. It will also require something to
<br>chew on (phone books, chew toys, etc.) as this is another one of its
<br>natural traits.
<br>
<br>• The diet of dwarf bunnies mainly consists of as much hay as they
<br>like. Timothy hay is the best type for them. Along with hay, they
<br>require good quality rabbit pellets. These they can consume in
<br>unlimited amounts when younger, while 1/4 cup is suitable for fully
<br>grown rabbits. Fresh greens are essential for them, and 2 cups of any
<br>such greens such as carrot tops and dark lettuce can be given to them
<br>daily. Fruits such as apples and bananas can be provided as an
<br>occasional treat. Finally, water is important and a fresh supply is
<br>required daily.
<br>
<br>• Though dwarf bunnies require to be caged, it is essential to ensure
<br>they get a good amount of exercise for a few hours on a daily basis.
<br>These pets cannot be left loose without supervision, so ensure you are
<br>always monitoring their activities. Keep wires, curtains, and other
<br>chewables out of their reach. When outdoors, the space they can play
<br>in should be enclosed well, and they should not be allowed to dig too
<br>many burrows lest they escape thereon. No potential predators should
<br>be in sight.
<br>
<br>• When letting a dwarf bunny out of a cage, do not ever lift it by its
<br>ears as this affects them emotionally. Let them come out on their own,
<br>and hold them with both hands cupped. This shows a lot of affection
<br>and gives them the attention they need. Children may be prone to
<br>scratches and bites from dwarf bunnies if they do not handle them
<br>carefully. As such, make sure your kids are never left alone with
<br>them.
<br>
<br>• As mentioned earlier, it is possible that dwarf bunnies may develop
<br>certain health conditions, symptoms of which they may not show
<br>immediately causing the condition to get worse over time. You must
<br>really be tuned with their personality and nature to be able to notice
<br>any changes in their behavior and point out health problems.
<br>
<br>• A Netherland dwarf bunny weighs only up to 2 pounds when full-grown.
<br>The life span of a dwarf rabbit ranges anywhere between 7-10 years,
<br>though some have known to exceed this range and live up to 13 years.
<br>Simply put, the amount of care and affection dwarf bunnies receive is
<br>essential in determining their life span.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-90955758642399970052012-04-30T00:09:00.001-07:002012-04-30T00:09:38.590-07:00Rabbit HabitatIs it just me or does the rabbit (any rabbit) make one go all awwww
<br>(for the lack of a better term) at their cuteness? Rabbits are some of
<br>the cutest species, if the article picture is anything to go by. If
<br>you live in the city, the chances are that you've probably seen them
<br>only at zoos. It's only those who have farms (and who keep rabbits)
<br>who know what the habitat of a rabbit is all about. Now there are two
<br>reasons why you would want to know about the rabbit habitat. One, for
<br>general knowledge and two, if you are thinking of getting one as a
<br>pet. For reasons we just mentioned, let us learn something more about
<br>the habitat of rabbits in the following sections.
<br>
<br>Habitat of a Rabbit
<br>
<br>In connection with the habitat of rabbits, it could be taken in
<br>connection with two scenarios - one, the habitat in captivity and two,
<br>the habitat in the wild. Let's give you the details of the same in the
<br>sections that follow.
<br>
<br>Habitat in the Wild
<br>A rabbit habitat is one in which the rabbit naturally exists and
<br>lives. Rabbits prefer to live in places that have a moderate climate.
<br>Rabbits who live in their natural surroundings and habitats live in
<br>meadows, forests, grasslands, sagebrush, woods and dense thickets.
<br>These are places that are ideal for a rabbit because they allow a
<br>rabbit to create burrows, where they feel safe and protected, as well
<br>as allows them the opportunity to explore their surroundings. In
<br>addition to that, all these places are out in the open and therefore
<br>they allow a rabbit plenty of space for running. This is an essential
<br>feature of the habitat of a rabbit because it helps the rabbit to keep
<br>fit.
<br>
<br>In the wild, the rabbits build warrens for housing. These are
<br>essentially burrows which have several tunnels that interconnect them.
<br>These warrens have spaces and areas that are especially designated for
<br>varied purposes like sleeping or raising the young. They have a very
<br>small opening so that once the rabbit escapes into the burrow, his
<br>predator will not be able to attack him. Another purpose that it
<br>serves is that it allows the rabbits protection against the heat and
<br>cold in the summer and winter seasons respectively. The rabbits spend
<br>most of their time in the burrows where they feel secure and protected
<br>and are only seen to come out during dawn, early morning and dusk.
<br>
<br>Habitat in Captivity
<br>When creating a housing area for a pet rabbit, it is important that
<br>you remember all the features of the habitat in the wild so that you
<br>can duplicate the same. This is necessary because it helps the rabbit
<br>to adjust to the created habitat better. That does not mean that you
<br>simply re-create the physical structure of the burrows and warrens,
<br>but understand why the habitat of a rabbit is important for it. The
<br>habitat of the rabbit needs a particular structure (like the
<br>interconnected tunnels) to keep the rabbit occupied and engaged.
<br>
<br>If one is able to create a housing area that closely resembles the
<br>natural habitat of the rabbit in the wild, then it will be easier for
<br>the rabbit to adjust, and you will have no trouble with an
<br>ill-adjusted pet rabbit.
<br>
<br>Rabbit Condos Essentials
<br>Condos are multi-storied cages that are especially built to re-create
<br>the same effect of the warrens. These work best if you have more than
<br>two rabbits for pets.
<br>
<br>There are several ways in which you can create a condo. Use natural
<br>substances to form the basic structure or remodel already existing
<br>cages by placing them one on top of the other and then getting rid of
<br>the walls. The idea is to create shelves and tunnels. Fill the cages
<br>with mud and plants to give it a more natural feel. While modeling a
<br>burrow for the rabbit(s), make sure to include a small box that is
<br>filled with hay so that the rabbits can escape into this whenever they
<br>feel the need to feel safe and protected.
<br>
<br>How you decorate the cage is entirely your choice - like if you do not
<br>want to clutter the cage with mud and plants, but instead want to keep
<br>it plain; or fill it with a stray toy here and there. If you're not
<br>the creative type, you can buy a ready-made cage from the store just
<br>as well. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when going
<br>in for, or creating a condo.
<br>
<br> Each rabbit requires about four times the space of its size. Make
<br>sure that you have this factor planned for.
<br> Do not use grids in the cage that are bigger than an inch. A
<br>rabbit might want to explore the area and get its head stuck in one of
<br>the grids, thus causing it harm.
<br> Be absolutely sure that you check the safety of the cage while
<br>building it and do a re-check once it's done. Make sure there are no
<br>screws, nails or other things left in the cage.
<br> Be careful with the kind of material you use to build the condo or
<br>the things that you keep in the cage. Nothing that can be chewed upon
<br>or is toxic should find its way there.
<br> The placement of the cage is just as important because rabbits
<br>tend to get startled very easily. Place the cage in a quiet area where
<br>there is not too much activity happening to disturb them. Speak out
<br>loud as you approach the cage to prepare the rabbit for your arrival,
<br>thus preventing it from getting startled.
<br> Do not handle the rabbits often and keep them away from small kids
<br>who might be too rough with them.
<br> It is essential that the rabbit gets at least 3 hours of exercise
<br>everyday. So do the needful and let it out of its cage everyday for 3
<br>hours.
<br> Some people who have the privilege of space, like a garden or
<br>farm, build a coop or a rabbit hutch to house the rabbits. This is
<br>more humane and allows the rabbit to have more space and freedom.
<br> Some house them in these coops for the day and get them in for the night.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-54433019380237815202012-04-30T00:02:00.001-07:002012-04-30T00:02:27.064-07:00Dwarf RabbitsDwarf rabbits with their affectionate, playful temperament and big
<br>personalities make for wonderful pets. In fact, the Netherland Dwarf
<br>rabbit breed is the second most popular breed among the forty five
<br>purebred rabbits recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders
<br>Association, Inc. With a weight of just around 2 - 2/12 pounds, these
<br>little delights are probably the cutest pets that one could have. The
<br>most common domestic European pet rabbit breeds to have inherited the
<br>dwarf gene are the Netherland Dwarf and the Dwarf Hotot rabbits. Here
<br>is more information about the dwarf rabbit life span, their physical
<br>characteristics and the ways to take care of them. Read more on pet
<br>rabbit breeds.
<br>
<br>Dwarf Rabbits as Pets
<br>
<br>Netherland Dwarf Rabbits: Often touted as the gems of the rabbit
<br>world, the Netherland Dwarf is the smallest of all domestic rabbit
<br>breeds. What it lacks in size, it makes up in popularity and let's
<br>just say a big (bad tempered) personality. With a short neck, short
<br>erect ears, round bold eyes and a small round body, this is a breed
<br>which carries the dwarf gene. They are available in a wide range of
<br>colors including fawn, himalayan, chinchilla, seal point, steel,
<br>orange and tortoiseshell. Since the Netherland Dwarf rabbits are noted
<br>for their bad temper and a high strung nature, especially among the
<br>bucks, they are not suitable pets for young children. Instead they are
<br>suited more in an adult, mature home. Read more on rabbits as pets for
<br>kids.
<br>
<br>Dwarf Hotot: The Dwarf Hotot is small and compact breed weighing as
<br>little as 2 1/2 to 3 lbs. The physical appearance of this stocky,
<br>docile little rabbit is similar to the Netherland Dwarf. The head
<br>itself is round, with a broad skull and a very short neck. There
<br>should be no visible neck. The eyes are round, bold and bright with
<br>those characteristic eye bands. Ears which are short, well furred, and
<br>usually of good substance, balance with the head and body. While most
<br>of these breeds are white in color with black around the eyes, black
<br>and chocolate varieties are recognized as well. This friendly rabbit
<br>makes an ideal pet as it is affectionate and loves spending time with
<br>people. They are also easy to train and love being carried around.
<br>
<br>Dwarf Rabbits Life Span
<br>
<br>The average dwarf rabbit life expectancy ranges from 7 to 10 years,
<br>but some have lived as long as 13 years. While the Netherland Dwarf
<br>rabbit's life span is around 7 to 8 years, the average life expectancy
<br>of the Dwarf Hotot is around 5 to 10 years. By spaying early in life,
<br>you can increase the life expectancy to around 10 years. Most of the
<br>dwarf rabbits are affected by the common health problems in rabbits
<br>such as overgrown teeth, mites, lice, fleas, diarrhea and infections.
<br>Read more on life span of a rabbit.
<br>
<br>Dwarf Rabbits Care
<br>
<br>Despite their small size, dwarf rabbits are quite active and need to
<br>have plenty of exercise. You should either provide it space in their
<br>house or a have separate run just for it. Items like boxes and tubes
<br>will keep your little rabbit busy by allowing them to burrow and
<br>climb. This keeps them amused and exercised. A large exercise pen or a
<br>cage should work just fine. Make sure that you provide a litter box if
<br>the rabbits have been litter trained.
<br>
<br>For feeding dwarf rabbits you will need dry rabbit mix and lots of
<br>fresh hay to feed on. This should be supplemented by fresh fruit and
<br>dark leafy green vegetables along with a regular supply of freshwater
<br>in a bottle feeder. Commercial rabbit pellets (1/4 cup of pellets per
<br>5 pounds of body weight every day) are also recommended. Read more on

<br>sight, sound and feel of anything adorable, soft and furry. But, if
<br>you are making a planned purchase and a rabbit is what you have zeroed
<br>in on, a Rex could be the breed for you. Below, I list some of its
<br>more adorable (well, also the not-so-adorable) features:
<br>
<br>Origin
<br>This breed originated as a natural mutation (crossbreed) of the gray
<br>rabbits found in the wilderness of France. They were discovered in
<br>1919, but were bred commercially for their fur and meat after
<br>attaining popularity. They made a successful debut at the Paris
<br>International Rabbit Show in 1924 and later made an entry into the
<br>U.S.A. Today, they are one of the most popular house rabbits in the
<br>world.
<br>
<br>Appearance and Personality
<br>Rexes come in various colors, namely black, white, blue, castor,
<br>chocolate, sable, tortoise, seal, brindle, etc. Their peculiarity is
<br>the thick, upstanding fur that looks and feels like velvet. It ranges
<br>between 1.3 - 2.2 centimeters in length and the guard hair are
<br>actually the same length as the undercoat. This makes the coat thicker
<br>and gives it plush-like feel. It must be remembered that these low
<br>maintenance mammals do not require combing at all. In fact, the only
<br>grooming they require is regular nail trims.
<br>
<br>An average Rex weighs anything between 6 to 10.5 pounds, making it a
<br>fairly large rabbit in its family. Its broad head has pert upright
<br>ears that suit its fairly rounded body. These plump fur balls are
<br>generally friendly, curious and playful and make perfect foster moms
<br>for any other rabbits that you may own. They can be litter-trained
<br>easily, but (like us, human beings) do need proper incentives to learn
<br>anything new. A happy Rex can live up to 6 years (despite being in
<br>human company).
<br>
<br>Rexes require low to medium activity levels. They are equally content
<br>sitting on someone's lap and acting out their perfect pet part. These
<br>incredibly soft creatures do require a physical show of affection, in
<br>the form of petting or stroking. Though, a lot of fun, they require
<br>lots of attention, if their non-destructive and friendly temperament
<br>is to be maintained in the long run. Lastly, it is essential to keep
<br>the cage size, in accordance with their size - i.e. large!
<br>
<br>Food and Health Care
<br>Rexes feed. No, I do mean feed. There will be times that you will
<br>think that you have pet horse. The good thing however, is that their
<br>food is easily available and does not tax the budget. Rexes mostly
<br>feed on commercial rabbit pellets, timothy hay, lucerne hay, fresh
<br>greens and fresh fruit. They need up to a quarter cup of pellets per
<br>day, for every 5 pounds of their body weight. Fresh greens can
<br>comprise the main portion of the rest of their diet. Fruits should be
<br>limited for their high sugar content and for that you need a heart of
<br>steel. After all, how else can you deny him his favorite food, when he
<br>looks at you with big watery eyes begging you give it.
<br>
<br>Healthwise, Rex rabbits are generally sturdy. They are prone to cold
<br>and flu, so it is best to keep them indoors during extreme weather.
<br>They have fragile skeletons, so proper care should be taken, while
<br>handling them. Males should be neutered after about 4 months of age,
<br>to prevent the aggression arising out of sexual maturity. Females can
<br>also be neutered, as this reduces the risks of uterine cancer. Both
<br>the males and females live longer (8 - 11 years) after spaying. As
<br>long as, the standard ear mites and fleas are taken care of, your Rex
<br>should be a really healthy pet. It is also essential that your Rex is
<br>vaccinated against calicivirus at a young age. There are two main
<br>types of Rex rabbits: Mini Rex and the Standard Rex.
<br>
<br>Standard Rex
<br>A standard Rex that weighs about 8 to 12 pounds has a lovely velvety
<br>fur. These rabbits come in many different colors like: black, red,
<br>opal, chocolate and white. Standard Rexes are available in various
<br>marking styles including, castor, californian, broken, chinchilla and
<br>black otter. They have straight ears and the coat doesn't require too
<br>much grooming. Standard Rexes are good-natured, and are known as
<br>enatic creatures. The interesting fact about this breed is that they
<br>can easily accept the baby of any rabbit and nurture it like their
<br>own. These rabbits are generally quiet and may find it difficult to
<br>live in a chaotic environment.
<br>
<br>Mini Rex
<br>Mini Rex rabbits are very small rabbits, they weigh about 3.5 to 5
<br>pounds and come in various colors including, blue, black, red, seal,
<br>blue-eyed white and broken colors. These are very friendly pets and
<br>they have very beautiful fur coats. They can be toilet trained very
<br>easily. Mini Rexes are loved by all adults as well as children, and
<br>they also enjoy human company. These things make them lovely house
<br>pets. They have a longer lifespan and can live well for more than 10
<br>years.
<br>
<br>I conclude claiming Rexes as the best pets for those who want one, but
<br>are already over and done with the responsibilities of diapers and
<br>Cerelac. Get them! You will fall in love so quickly with your curious,
<br>albeit playful pet that you will learn to ignore that strong odor they
<br>tend to retain. Oh, sorry! Did I forget to mention that rabbit urine
<br>contains a lot of ammonia making their pee stink like hell.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-8120275608580552112012-04-29T23:54:00.001-07:002012-04-29T23:54:48.257-07:00Facts about Eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus)Eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) belong to the
<br>family Leporidae and genus Sylvilagus. Almost all members of this
<br>genus have a very small tail, with a puffy white underside, which
<br>resemble a cotton ball. The name 'cottontail' was derived from this
<br>feature. These rabbits belong to the Americas and are commonly found
<br>in North America.
<br>
<br>Physical Features
<br>
<br>Eastern cottontail rabbits have a compact body with long hind legs,
<br>long ears, large brown eyes and a short tail. The fur of these animals
<br>is either reddish brown or grayish-brown in color. During winters, the
<br>color changes to more grayish than brown. The fur around their nose,
<br>underside of the tail and belly, is white in color. Almost all of them
<br>have a gray patch around the neck. An average eastern cottontail
<br>rabbit can weigh between 2 to 4 pounds. The young ones of eastern
<br>cottontail rabbits, called 'kits', have an additional white mark on
<br>their forehead, which fades out with age.
<br>
<br>Distribution and Habitat
<br>
<br>These rabbits are mostly found in southern Canada, eastern Mexico,
<br>central America, northern regions of South America and eastern and
<br>south-central United States. They can be commonly seen in New Mexico,
<br>Arizona and mid-west North America. Nowadays, there have been reports
<br>of occasional sightings of this rabbit in New England too. They can
<br>live in a variety of habitats, but they prefer woody, shrubby areas
<br>and open country. It is also observed that they have a preference to
<br>areas near a water source, like ponds or streams. They like places
<br>with dense vegetation, which helps them in finding cover.
<br>
<br>Dietary Habits and Behavior
<br>
<br>Eastern cottontail rabbits are herbivores, who love to feed on grass,
<br>bark, twigs, fruits and vegetables. During winters, they eat the tree
<br>bark of brambles, birch, oak, dogwood and maple trees, buds and twigs,
<br>whereas their summer and spring diet includes grass, fruits,
<br>vegetables, other green vegetation and clovers. They are nocturnal
<br>animals, who are active at dawn and dusk. It is difficult to chase
<br>them as they run in a zigzag manner to confuse predators. They can
<br>leap up to 15 feet and can run at the speed of 18 miles per hour. This
<br>ability helps them to protect themselves from predators. Sometimes,
<br>they stand on their hind legs to keep an eye out for predators.
<br>
<br>Reproduction and Life Cycle
<br>
<br>The mating season of these rabbits is from February to September. It
<br>is observed that they perform a mating dance too. The female builds a
<br>nest in the ground with grass and fur. The gestation period is around
<br>a month and a female can give birth to a maximum of nine kits. The
<br>females may mate soon after giving birth and can breed four to five
<br>times a year. They feed the young ones twice a day, for a period of
<br>three months. The kits leave the nest after seven weeks and reach
<br>maturity after three to four months.
<br>
<br>They are proficient breeders, and can produce many offspring. They are
<br>preyed upon by hawks, barn owls, opossums, coyotes, foxes, weasels and
<br>many other animals. Humans also hunt them for their fur and meat. They
<br>are also trapped and killed for damaging farms and gardens. They have
<br>a varying population, depending on various habitats. Any disturbance
<br>or loss of habitat, may adversely affect the population of these
<br>beautiful creatures.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-22724028590210112322012-04-29T23:47:00.001-07:002012-04-29T23:47:58.843-07:00Raising Rabbits - What Do Rabbit Eat..?Cute, cuddly, furry and extremely lovable, rabbits are therefore most
<br>preferred as pets! Raising rabbits can be really fun and they prove to
<br>be great pets for the family. These cute creatures can be kept
<br>outdoors as well as indoors which would depend upon the kind of

<br>ensure there is ample interaction between other rabbits and even the
<br>pet owners. Rabbits basically are found in varied environment from the
<br>forests to the deserts.
<br>
<br>These animals are essentially ground dwellers. The popularity of
<br>rabbits is such that one can notice them as fictional characters as

<br>people all over the world! If you wish to raise rabbits, there are a
<br>few things you would have to bear in mind as far as the food habits
<br>are concerned. Here's a look at the food patterns of rabbits.
<br>

<br>
<br>Rabbits always need to be fed at least twice a day. Pet owners would
<br>need to bear in mind to give their rabbits a balanced diet that has
<br>high levels of fibers. Rabbits love to eat grass and leafy weeds. They
<br>even love fresh vegetables. They are known to graze rapidly for the
<br>initial 30 minutes when they feel hungry. They can also be given hay
<br>occasionally. Rabbit pellets available in pet stores are a main source
<br>of nutrition for these animals. Rabbits also love carrots, apples,
<br>strawberries, bananas etc. Always remember to feed your rabbit the

<br>would prove to be a better bet if you tried to know all about the
<br>different rabbit breeds that are seen today. Many different rabbit
<br>breeds that we see today are all various varieties of domestic
<br>rabbits. These are specially created through the process of selective
<br>breeding. These rabbit breeds differ from each other in terms of their
<br>size or even the appearance of their coat and many such factors.
<br>Here's a look at different types of rabbit breeds.
<br>
<br>Different Rabbit Breeds
<br>
<br>Angora Rabbit
<br>This breed is a domestic variety. The Angora breed is also the oldest
<br>kind of domesticated rabbit, which is easily distinguishable due to
<br>its long and soft hair. Basically, the Angora rabbit is preferred
<br>mainly due to its long and soft fur coat. This breed of rabbits does
<br>require a lot of grooming and care. In total, there are around 4 types
<br>of Angora rabbits (English, Giant, Satin and French), which are ARBA
<br>recognized.
<br>
<br>Blue of Sint-Niklaas
<br>Amongst the different kinds of rabbits seen, this rabbit breed is
<br>considered to be one of the oldest fur rabbits seen. This is a Flemish
<br>rabbit breed. This breed now belongs to the almost rare category.
<br>
<br>American Sable
<br>The American sable is one such breed that is quite sociable in nature.
<br>This breed is a cross of the Chinchilla rabbit breeds. The American
<br>sable rabbit is quite identical to the Chinchilla rabbits although
<br>they have a different color for their coat. The American Sable
<br>generally has a light shaded coat, which darkens towards the head area
<br>as well as the upper end of the tail.
<br>
<br>Beveren
<br>This rabbit breed is considered to be a very rare breed. The
<br>temperament of this rabbit breed shows it to be full of energy. The
<br>Beveren is also one of the largest breeds of fur rabbits. The name
<br>Beveren largely remains due to the fact that it was first bred in
<br>Beveren. This is a small town that lies close to Antwerp, which is in
<br>Belgium.
<br>
<br>Such rabbit breeds have coats that are blue, brown, lilac or even
<br>white in color. This does not mean all the colors are accepted and
<br>meet the standards of ARBA. The Beveren breed has a fur length that is
<br>about 1 ½ inches long. One of the rare varieties of the Beveren is
<br>known as the Pointed Beveren.
<br>
<br>Californian Rabbits
<br>George West first developed this rabbit breed in the early 1920s.
<br>Initially, amongst all the different kinds of rabbits, this particular
<br>rabbit breed did not gain popularity. The color of the coat is quite
<br>similar to that of the Himalayan rabbit. The Californian rabbits also
<br>have a white body with shades of black on the nose and ears along with
<br>the tail and feet. The Californian rabbits would also require a lot of
<br>grooming care. This would mean grooming care on a daily routine.
<br>
<br>Chinchilla Rabbits
<br>This breed consists of three types of rabbits that belong to this category.
<br>
<br>The American Chinchilla - This rabbit breed originated in France. They
<br>are largely bred due to their size.
<br>
<br>Giant Chinchilla - This rabbit breed has its origins in the United States.
<br>
<br>Standard Chinchilla - The standard chinchilla finds its origins in
<br>France. They have easily distinguishable coats.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-36110458045846887962012-04-29T23:44:00.001-07:002012-04-29T23:44:16.133-07:00About RabbitMost of the people have seen rabbits and some even consider making it

<br>breeding or natural selection. In this article, I will list a few
<br>common breeds of rabbits that are recognized by the American Rabbit
<br>Breeders Association along with a brief description.
<br>
<br>Rabbit Breeds
<br>
<br>American: This breed was standardized early in the 20th century. The
<br>two categories available are the blue and white. The sub-varieties
<br>available under this breed are:
<br>
<br> American Fuzzy Lop: This breed was derived by breeding two Holland
<br>Lops each carrying a recessive wool gene. The rabbits belonging to
<br>this breed have lopped ears and their body is covered with thick wool.
<br> American Sable: The rabbits belonging to this breed have different
<br>levels of sandy (sable) coloring.
<br>
<br>Angora: This breed consists of the oldest types of domestic rabbits
<br>that originated in Ankara, Turkey. The rabbits belonging to this breed
<br>are used for their long wool which is removed by shearing or plucking.
<br>The sub-varieties available under this breed are:
<br>
<br> English Angora: This breed has been derived from French Angoras
<br>and are gentle in nature but require a lot of grooming.
<br> French Angora: This breed has guard hair on the surface and wool
<br>as an undercoat.
<br> Satin Angora: This breed is so named because of its extremely soft
<br>texture of its wool. These are very easy to groom and the wool they
<br>produce is very strong.
<br>
<br>Beveran: This breed consists of the oldest and largest of the fur
<br>rabbits. The color of their coats can vary from blue, white, black,
<br>lilac or brown. A rare variety in this breed is the Pointed Beveren
<br>which has the same color but have white-tipped hair.
<br>
<br>Blue of Ham: This breed of rabbit was very popular during the first
<br>few decades of the 20th century but became extinct during the sixties.
<br>However, a Belgian breeder was able to recreate the rabbit by using
<br>off-springs.
<br>
<br>Britannia Petite: This breed of rabbits weigh about 2.5 lb and are
<br>thought to have been derived from small wild rabbits. They have a wild
<br>temperament and are not suitable for pets. However, if handled
<br>properly these rabbits can be calm.
<br>
<br>American Chinchilla: This breed of rabbits are bred for their meat.
<br>They are a hardy pet and do not require regular grooming. They have a
<br>medium length body which is slightly curved. Their ears are straight
<br>and erect. These rabbits are also good breeders and on an average
<br>their litter consists of 7 - 10 babies.
<br>
<br>Dutch: This breed of rabbits were originally bred in Netherlands. The
<br>markings present on their body includes a white wedge down the face,
<br>round colored circles around the eyes, white markings on the hind feet
<br>and a line extending under the belly. Dutch rabbits make excellent
<br>pets, show rabbits and do rather well in the sport of rabbit hopping.
<br>
<br>Himalayan: This is a very old breed of rabbits that are very common in
<br>the Asian countries in the Himalayan Mountains. It is the most widely
<br>distributed rabbit in the world and is also known as by many other
<br>names like Chinese, Russian, Egyptian and the Black Nose. They are
<br>delicately built and have a long body resembling a tube and are famous
<br>for their general temperament. They make excellent pets especially for
<br>the children and an ideal choice for a first time rabbit owner.
<br>
<br>Lionhead: This is one of the newest breed of domesticated rabbits and
<br>it was originated in Belgium. It is reported to be a cross between a
<br>miniature Swiss Fox and a Belgian Dwarf. It has been so named because
<br>it has particularly long hair surrounding the face that resembles the
<br>mane of a male lion. The other characteristics include a round head
<br>and ears shorter than most breeds of rabbits.
<br>
<br>English Spot: This breed of rabbits is mostly white and they have a
<br>butterfly mark on their nose, colored ears and chains of colored spots
<br>along its sides including a herringbone stripe down its back. English
<br>Spots are a very active breed of rabbits and require a minimum of two
<br>hours of running time everyday. They are generally docile and make
<br>good pets and also tolerate other pets like guinea pigs, cats and
<br>dogs.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-79257003018995053132012-04-29T23:40:00.001-07:002012-04-29T23:40:29.894-07:00PET AT HOMEDogs, cats, birds, horses, fish and small animals are the numerous
<br>types of pets at home. In case of these, some contemplation has to be
<br>done regarding their names, breeds, health, training, rescue and sale.
<br>For example, a dog breed selector is useful to determine if a pet is
<br>suitable for children, the exercises and grooming needs and other
<br>health topics.
<br>
<br>Dogs
<br>
<br>The American Kennel Club recognizes more than 400 distinct dog breeds.
<br>These breeds are further classified as per their functions. A natural
<br>guard dog is the best for personal protection. A guard dog is further
<br>classified into alarm dog, sentry dog and attack dog. The Giant
<br>Schnauzer is best suited to the role of a guard dog. Doberman pinchers
<br>have a very strong instinct as protection dogs. Mastiffs are generally
<br>used as sentry dogs in Europe. German shepherds are alert, loyal and
<br>perfect as protection dogs. The Belgian Malinois has a tremendous
<br>capacity as an all-purpose working dog. Great Dane is impressive if it
<br>just stands and barks.

<br>cheekbones, medium-sized and round-tipped ears as well as large, round
<br>and widely-spaced eyes.
<br>

<br>
<br>There are several bird species in North America like Greater
<br>Yellowlegs, American Bittern, Great Horned Owl, American Redstart,

<br>wingspan of 33 inches. It is found in lakes, marshes, bays and fields.
<br>It is abundant and widespread in the West and farther North regions of
<br>the United States.

<br>These comprise rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, gerbils,
<br>mice and chinchillas. Rats are loving and very intelligent. These
<br>spend 2/5th of their time in cleaning. Mice are intelligent, friendly
<br>and in need of less maintenance. They are sociable and occur in pairs
<br>or groups. However, aggressive males may have to be kept singly.
<br>Rabbits are affectionate, playful, loyal and mischievous.my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-76607560574402014352012-04-29T23:38:00.001-07:002012-04-29T23:38:49.644-07:00Rabbits as Pets - House Rabbit CareCaring for Pet Rabbits - Is it Easy?
<br>'Stuffed bunny rabbits are so cute. So are real rabbits. How difficult
<br>could it be to take care of just one rabbit. All that is required is
<br>to give it something to eat, water to drink, and a big enough cage to
<br>live in. An occasional cleaning of the cage, and that's it. This is
<br>all that there is to rabbit care '.
<br>
<br>These are the thoughts that come to mind to almost everyone who want
<br>to keep rabbits as pets . The thought of such people are both - right
<br>and wrong.
<br>
<br>Right because maintaining a healthy pet rabbit is not at all
<br>difficult. Wrong because unless you are aware of all the facts about
<br>rabbit food, healthcare, the things you should and should not do,
<br>things could really go wrong. With pet rabbits, it is the minor facts
<br>that matter: what you feed them, the amount of exercise they get, even
<br>how you carry and handle them.
<br>
<br>Buying your Pet Rabbit
<br>Once you have decided that you want a rabbit as a pet, there are a few
<br>questions that you should answer.
<br>
<br>Do I already have a pet that could pose a threat to the rabbit? (Dog, cat etc.)
<br>
<br>What will it cost me to take care of the rabbit? (Cage, Food, the
<br>occasional veterinarian expense etc.)
<br>
<br>Are all the supplies that will be required available? (Mostly food requirements)
<br>
<br>And finally, do I have the time to take proper care of the rabbit?
<br>
<br>Once all these questions are answered in the positive, you should
<br>decide on what color rabbit you want. Rabbits come in many colors -
<br>snow white, beige shades, light brown to dark brown shades, shades of
<br>gray, rabbits having a single color, rabbits with stripes, the
<br>combinations are endless. The best solution is to visit your local pet
<br>store and see what choices are available.
<br>
<br>The rabbit decided, you must now decide on the cage. You should buy a
<br>cage that allows the rabbit to stand up fully stretched on its hind
<br>legs without any obstruction. The cage should be large enough to
<br>accommodate the rabbit when it is fully stretched. Make sure that
<br>there is extra space to accommodate a litter box, including space for
<br>the feed and water. The cage must be easy to clean and indestructible.
<br>A metal cage with a wire mesh floor is the most preferable choice. Not
<br>only will this cage be indestructible, but very easy to clean too.
<br>
<br>If you think that the major buying decisions (the rabbit and cage) are
<br>over, you are mistaken. The most important part is still left out -
<br>The Food. Yes, this is of utmost importance. The entire health and
<br>well-being of the rabbit will depend on this. As you read the part on
<br>feeding your rabbit, you will realize the importance of choosing the
<br>proper food for your rabbit. Pet rabbits usually live 7 to 8 years,
<br>but keeping your pet on the proper feed should ensure it lives 10 to
<br>12 years. Pet rabbits have been known to live up to 15 years given the
<br>proper care.
<br>
<br>What are rabbits like?
<br>Before buying a pet rabbit, many would have asked the question 'What
<br>are rabbits like - a cat, a dog'? A pet rabbit is neither like a pet
<br>cat nor a pet dog. Pet cats and dogs will take an immediate liking to
<br>you and not be afraid of you. This will happen with a pet rabbit too,
<br>but it will take much longer. Your pet dog or cat can be fed on a
<br>variety of things including vegetables, fish, chicken, and meat,
<br>making feeding them absolutely worry-free. Not the case with pet
<br>rabbits. You try feeding them just about anything, and that will be
<br>the end of your pet rabbit. Rabbits have got a very sensitive
<br>gastrointestinal tract.
<br>
<br>Rabbits are very affectionate, but could get really aggressive and
<br>destructive at times. Many have got the misconception that a pet
<br>rabbit can be picked up and cuddled just like the kids stuffed bunny
<br>rabbit. In fact with pet rabbits it is just the opposite - even the
<br>slightest mishandling of your pet rabbit could prove fatal. Treating
<br>the rabbit gently is very important.
<br>
<br>Making your new Pet Rabbit comfortable
<br>When you get your new pet rabbit home, you must decide as to where the
<br>cage will be placed. Make sure it is placed where it will not obstruct
<br>your movement. The place should be well ventilated with a free flow of
<br>fresh air. Place the cage as close to the ground as possible. Place
<br>bedding made of straw in the cage so that the rabbit feels
<br>comfortable. Remember that the cage is not a place to confine your
<br>rabbit. It is more of a place where the rabbit will retire for the
<br>night or whenever it is tired, or hungry. As far as possible do not
<br>keep the door of the cage shut, always leave it open.
<br>
<br>Problems that your pet could face if confined to the cage will include
<br>a poor muscle tone because of no exercise, inflammation of the feet
<br>due to sitting in one place constantly, could become very lethargic,
<br>can be very aggressive at times, will become obese due to lack of any
<br>exercise. Most of all it will not turn out to be the happy, jumping
<br>about rabbit that you thought it would be.
<br>
<br>A rabbit requires to be constantly active. Rabbits love jumping and
<br>running around. This helps keep their bodies in shape, keep their
<br>minds active and alert, and will help in eliminating a lot of sickness
<br>that will be present if they are confined to the cage.
<br>
<br>Proper diet for your Pet Rabbit
<br>Proper care should be taken that you feed your pet rabbit the correct
<br>diet. A little care taken by you in feeding your pet will go a long
<br>way. It can ensure that your rabbit remains disease free, healthy,
<br>active, and enjoys a lifespan of between 10 to 15 years.
<br>
<br>Thanks to what we see on television (Bunny Rabbit etc.) we presume
<br>that all rabbits enjoy are carrots. Not so. Rabbits are basically wild
<br>animals, so carrots are very much non-existent in their natural diet.
<br>Rabbits are herbivores and their primary diet consists of a variety of
<br>grass and leaves. Wild rabbits also enjoy the seasonal flower or
<br>fruit.
<br>
<br>One part of what their natural diet consists of, could be very
<br>repulsive to some. All rabbits will eat grass etc. Part of this goes
<br>into an intestinal tract known as the cecum, where it is converted
<br>into small pellets that are soft and filled with nutrients. These soft
<br>pellets are known as cecotropes and are eaten by the rabbit as they
<br>are being excreted. This is easily digested and contain fatty acids,
<br>vitamins and amino acids, which are all very important for the
<br>well-being of the rabbit.
<br>
<br>Your pet rabbits diet should consist primarily of hay. Always make
<br>sure that there is enough hay in the rabbits cage. There are two types
<br>of hay - grass and legume. Make sure that the hay you give your pet is
<br>the grass variety. Meadow grass which is naturally sun dried is the
<br>best. Find out where you can have easy access to such grass/hay. It
<br>will be required throughout the life of the rabbit. Always make sure
<br>that the hay that you feed your rabbit is dry and fresh. The hay
<br>should never be damp and of dull color.
<br>
<br>Do not worry about the rabbit spoiling its teeth with the constant
<br>chewing and munching of this hay. Rabbit teeth grow constantly,
<br>eliminating the possibility of teeth destruction.
<br>
<br>Wild rabbits gorge on green grass and fresh leaves, so your pet should
<br>also get its fair share of greens. Along with hay, greens are a vital
<br>part of the rabbits diet because they will provide all the nutrients
<br>that hay provides, but in addition fresh greens will provide the
<br>rabbit with water. Yes, the rabbit will have permanent access to fresh
<br>drinking water, but you can't force the rabbit to drink. When the
<br>rabbit consumes greens they are also getting a sure supply of water.
<br>Good options are broccoli, cabbage, celery, and most of the greens
<br>that are dark in color. Occasionally feed your rabbit fruits such as
<br>pineapple, pear, peach, papaya, and any of the sweet berries. Special
<br>treats could include edible flowers such as roses and lilies.
<br>
<br>As far as possible stay away from commercially available rabbit food.
<br>These foods are usually packed with starch and fat. They are made to
<br>the rabbits taste, so that the rabbit enjoys eating it. What will
<br>result is a rabbit that grows plump very fast. Many would think that
<br>this is very good, but just the opposite. Unwanted fat is accumulating
<br>in your chubby looking rabbit. Many nutrients present in natural food
<br>may not be present in commercial food. No doubt, your rabbit will look
<br>cute and chubby for some time, but sooner or later it will begin to
<br>suffer. A plump fat rabbit is not a healthy rabbit. Healthy rabbits
<br>are those that have a strong muscular tone with minimal fat. The
<br>proper diet with enough exercise ensures this.
<br>
<br>The proper diet will not only ensure that your rabbit is in the peak
<br>of health, but also reduce your veterinary bills.
<br>
<br>Lifting your Pet Rabbit
<br>Your pet rabbit is not a cuddly stuffed toy rabbit. You can't treat it
<br>the way you would your toy rabbit. Rabbits have very fragile
<br>backbones. Never pick up your rabbit so that its hind legs are left
<br>dangling. The rabbit might kick violently, possibly fracturing its
<br>backbone. Make sure that this does not happen, because the only
<br>solution if this happens is to put the rabbit to 'sleep'. Never lift
<br>the rabbit by its ears. It is very painful for the rabbit, just like
<br>it would pain you if someone tried to lift you by the ears.
<br>
<br>The best way to lift your rabbit is to put one hand below its hind
<br>legs for support and the other below its chest and then lift it. The
<br>entire weight of the rabbit must be supported by your hands.
<br>
<br>As far as possible avoid small children from picking up the rabbit.
<br>They tend to get a bit excited and might cause unintentional harm to
<br>the very rabbit they want to care for. If they insist on carrying the
<br>rabbit around, please get them well trained in the technique of
<br>lifting the rabbit.
<br>
<br>When to visit the veterinarian
<br>If you feed your rabbit with the correct diet and allow it to exercise
<br>enough, the veterinarian is someone you may never have to visit.
<br>
<br>Always watch out for abnormal behavior in your rabbit. If you notice
<br>something different, it may be time to take your pet to the
<br>veterinarian. This may include a sudden loss in appetite, a sudden
<br>weight loss, suddenly wanting to be confined to the cage, extremely
<br>aggressive behavior, and just about anything that may seem abnormal.
<br>If you notice that your rabbit has diarrhea (not very common in
<br>rabbits), do not wait. Your pet requires medical attention
<br>immediately.
<br>
<br>Your rabbit is not as hardy as a cat or a dog. Do not wait for the
<br>symptoms to subside when you see one. If you are not sure of what it
<br>is, at least call the veterinarian. Based on the symptoms he will let
<br>you know the urgency.
<br>
<br>Summary
<br>Buy your pet rabbit from a reputed pet shop. Always keep the cage open
<br>and try to place it where there is a good flow of fresh air. Always
<br>keep the cage clean, with a sufficient stock of fresh food and water.
<br>Be very careful while lifting and handling your rabbit. Take your pet
<br>rabbit to the veterinarian as soon as you notice the slightest change
<br>in its behavior.
<br>
<br>Following all this will allow you to have a bunny good time with your

A solitary rabbit is an unhappy rabbit, it really is as simple as that. Companionship can be provided by us as owners but by far the best scenario is a pair of happy, bonded rabbits.</p><p><strong>Why do rabbits need companionship?</strong></p><p>In the wild, rabbits live very closely in a network of burrows called a warren. Within this warren this is a strict pecking order, with one male and one female at the top of the tree. Beneath this are many more mated pairs, youngsters who haven't yet made a mating pair and outsiders who are unable to find a mate. Rabbits rely on each other to keep an eye out for predators and warn of danger. They also groom each other, sleep close together and forage together.</p><p>This behaviour is still relevant to domestic rabbits, with the best pairing being neutered male and spayed female i.e. a "mated pair".</p><p><strong>Why boy / girl is best</strong></p><p>For rabbits, sex is the cause of most arguments. Therefore, neutering / spaying has a huge effect on rabbits' behaviour, calming them down and removing the driving force that causes males to fight and females to be territorial. However, male/male and female/female pairings are still more difficult than male/female. In this way, rabbits stay true to their roots and how they would live in the wild by wanting to be in a "couple". A male/female bonded pair can be likened to a happily married couple, with the bond growing deeper year by year. Bonded rabbits feel grief and will mourn the loss of their partner; luckily, they usually accept a new partner readily.</p><p><strong>Companionship from other sources</strong></p><p>Solitary house rabbits can bond very well with their human owners. They may follow them around, "groom" them, even sleep in their bed with them. This is sufficient companionship for the rabbit but there is always the problem of what happens when the human has to go away. Rabbits often pine for their companions with a resultant loss of appetite; something which is very dangerous in rabbits and can lead to death.</p><p>Rabbits can also bond with cats or dogs although this is more rare and depends a great deal on the nature of the cat / dog. In many cases, the rabbit becomes the "boss", taking a superior position over the cat or dog. However, nature dictates that cats and dogs are predators and rabbits are prey so no relationship can ever be entirely safe.</p><p>Rabbits have traditionally been kept with guinea pigs for companionship but rabbits tend to bully guinea pigs and they do not make good companions for each other.</p><p>In summary, rabbits are gregarious animals and companionship from another rabbit, or their human owners, is vital to their emotional wellbeing.</p><p><em>Copyright 2011 Hannah Davis / Bunnyhugga.com All Rights Reserved</em></p> </div> <div id="article-resource"> <p>Hannah Davis writes for Bunnyhugga.com, an online information library for rabbit owners.</p><p>The simple guide to rabbits takes beginners through every aspect of rabbit ownership <a target="_new" href="http://www.bunnyhugga.com/guide-to-rabbits.html">http://www.bunnyhugga.com/guide-to-rabbits.html</a></p><p>For experienced rabbit owners, the A to Z is a handy information library of documents and links <a target="_new" href="http://www.bunnyhugga.com/a-to-z.html">http://www.bunnyhugga.com/a-to-z.html</a></p> </div> <p>Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Hannah_E_Davis">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Hannah_E_Davis</a> </p> </div><div style="overflow: hidden;"><br /> Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6305611<br /></div>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-52134704404938465252011-07-28T18:12:00.000-07:002011-07-28T18:12:00.639-07:00Angora rabbit jumping crazy<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OiKL5kmgQeA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-92140784765564029502011-07-24T18:31:00.000-07:002011-07-24T18:31:00.680-07:00My New Lion Head Bunny<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M2eySlMi1GY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-73445144699661630882011-07-23T18:06:00.000-07:002011-07-23T18:06:00.181-07:00Five Ways To Organize Your Pet For Summer<div id="article-body"> <div id="article-content"> <p>Summer is coming. How do you mark the arrival? Do you stock up on suntan lotion? Buy yourself a new beach bag? Maybe you're thinking about a summer vacation and planning where and when you'll go. You've probably already sent in the deposits and medical forms for your children's camps and signed everyone up for swimming lessons. In the midst of all this planning, have you given any thought to your four-legged and furry friends? Take a few minutes and check these five for Fido off your list:</p><p>1. Hydration. You don't leave for a day at the beach without packing a cooler of snacks and drinks, right? Well, your dogs and cats need the same tlc during the hot summer months. If your animals are able to go outside, buy an extra bowl or two for outdoor hydration. If your exercise plans during the warmer months include taking along your dog, make sure you bring along a collapsible bowl or water bottle.</p><p>2. Fur Care. You make appointments for your highlights and hair cut, so make sure you give your pet the same amount of attention prior to the summer. Flea and tick baths and dips are a priority, so make appointments at your vet or groomer now to avoid problems later. The same goes for those pets with long fur. Book a trim now and you'll find your dog panting with happiness, not heat stroke.</p><p>3. Shade. If your animals spend a lot of time outside, take stock of your yard and see if you have appropriate spots for shade. If you don't, figure out where you can hang a temporary sheet in a corner of the yard and purchase the equipment you'll need. If you don't like that idea, go in search of a real dog house.</p><p>4. Put Together A Pet Care Bin. Throw one in your car and stash one by your front door or mudroom, especially if you live near a beach. Keep a towel, soft brush, and collapsible water dish in a canvas bag. That way you'll always be ready for fun, and the wet sandy paws that tend to go with it.</p><p>5. Doggy Day (and night) Care. Going on vacation? Chances are everybody else in your town is too, so line up your pet care now not at the last minute. If you're giving the job to your neighbor's daughter, have her do a trial run while you are there so you're comfortable with her knowledge. No matter who you are leaving in charge of your pet, make sure they have critical information about your pet (including appropriate shots and paperwork) before you leave. If you don't have that organized, there are many great pet organizers on the market, be sure to research and get the one that fits your families needs.</p><p>Follow these 5 tips to keep your pet safe this summer!</p> </div> <div id="article-resource"> <p>Buttoned Up is dedicated to helping stretched & stressed women get organized.

It is also safe to say that seventy percent of all cases will be female and that most will involve pets who are advanced in age, have diabetes mellitus, are prone to stones in the urinary tract, have some sort of bladder condition, or are on long-term corticosteroid therapy.</p><p>As you can see there are many reasons that could make a pet susceptible to recurring urinary tract infections. It might also be helpful to know that infections of the urinary tract can be acquired through oral ingestion of bacterial laden food or water that is spread through the blood or by opportunistic bacteria gaining access through the urethra and working its way up the urinary tract to the bladder and worst case scenario to the kidneys.</p><p>*So the first rule of thumb for ridding your pet of this condition is to make sure they don't accidentally ingest any food or water that might contain bacteria. No pet owner would intentionally feed their pet food teaming with bacteria but I know with my pets sometimes they can find, and eat or drink, gross stuff including old food and unclean water.</p><p>*As we briefly touched on above these types of infections typically become recurring in older animals primarily due to a weakened immune system which is no longer capable of eliminating and repelling bacteria that happens to gain access to the urinary tract. For these pets special care should be taken to make sure that they don't come in contact with feces while urinating or eliminating. For pets using litter boxes the threat is even greater since they are prime breeding grounds for bacterial and should be kept very clean and checked regularly. Additionally, a daily exercise routine should be implemented to boost waning immune system function.</p><p>*Another area of concern in older pets with arthritis. Pets that require long-term corticosteroid medication to reduce bone and joint pain are at high risk for developing recurring urinary tract infections. If your pet falls into this category switching them to a natural arthritis remedy containing glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate might be something worth considering since both of these substances have been shown to help animals (especially cats) with recurrent urinary infections.</p><p>*As we have mentioned bacteria generally enters through the urethra and works its way up the urinary tract. In order to accomplish this feat it must be able to adhere to urinary lining and then to the bladder wall. Certain compounds called ellagitannins help prevent this from happening. Blackberries and raspberries are good sources with cranberries and blueberries having similar action. Since most pets aren't going to beat the door down to get to your blackberry stash adding low sugar fruit juice to their water regularly probably is the simplest and cleanest delivery method.</p><p>*And lastly adding a homeopathic urinary tract supplement specially formulated to relieve bladder discomfort, reduce urine leakage, boost immune function, and improve overall bladder and urinary tract health could be an idea worth considering. One advantage of these types of natural remedies is they can be safely used in conjunction with other therapies (antibiotics) commonly used to hold recurring urinary tract infections at bay.</p> </div> <div id="article-resource"> <p><br /><a target="_new" href="http://purchaseremedies.com/PetCare.html"></a></p> </div> <p>Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_D_Hawkins">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Robert_D_Hawkins</a> </p> </div> <div class="gdfp" id="gdfp_rb"> <div id="google_ads_div_belowresourcebox_ad_container"> </div> </div><div style="overflow: hidden;"><br /> Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6317600<br /></div>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-53055155470339499942011-07-15T18:13:00.000-07:002011-07-15T18:13:00.931-07:00Farting Bunny Rabbit - Sadie has no manners!Farting Bunny Rabbit - Sadie has no manners! <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/74AzD2wfu-g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154784083691282498.post-30361725204258255282011-07-10T18:26:00.000-07:002011-07-10T18:26:00.094-07:00Howard's Big Dig<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ycQIiA7dnKQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>my memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12916111737937199158noreply@blogger.com0
