Their back legs are very strong and they use them to kick you off. So before you make the decision in rearing bunnies they are some things that you may want to learn.
– There are various sizes of bunnies. They are small bunnies that can be kept in small shelters and are not best for producing meat. Then they will be the bigger ones that need a lot of space to reside. These are the bunnies that are kept for the production of meat and mating.
– When it comes to feeding bunnies you need to know that they are vegetarians, so you can’t feed them meat. You should feed them chewy veggies like carrots and cabbages. You can also give them bunnie pellets since they have a lot of nutrients which will help them grow more powerful and healthy. A supplementary diet of hay or alfalfa may be given to them as well.
– You should decide if you want to keep indoor or outdoor rabbits. If you need to raise outdoor rabbits then you must be sure you to offer protection for them. You must build them shelter and a safety fence. Bunnie houses should be made from stainlesss steel cages or wood cases because rabbits can eat on the wood.
