Hello Petlanders.I'm about to adopt two very cute white-coat bunnies into my home.I need information on how to properly handle them:

-concerning their feeding,what types of food would I be giving to them,

-how many times a day should they be fed,

-how do I handle hygeine and health issues

-would I need a cage for them,specifications on cage size.

-What are their do's and don't?Their haves and have not.

-Lastly considering they would be male and female.I need advice on mating,how do I know if the female is swollen with kittens.

Your advice would be highly appreciated.

OK...first of all, what are their ages? it matters a lot. Rabbits subsists satisfactorily on fibre. what they need is a high fibre diet. At times, its plant material like rabbit weed, elephant grass, maize shaft cover, e.t.c. one thing you must also know is you can give chicken grower mash. The only thing is DAT you have to buy wheat offal or rice bran (good sources of fibre) and mix it with the feed. Do not feed the rabbits solely on chicken feed without enough extra fibre content, otherwise, they would develop bloat and die (one of the digestive problems of rabbits).

Rabbits are very prolific. They become sexually active from 5 months.

If your sole reason of having them is breeding, pls do not keep them in the same place. keep them separate. When its time to mate, NEVER take the male to meet the female, rather take the female to the male or else, she will castrate him.
I have a male Rabbit who is 1year, 5months old. He's used to me and his surrounding so, he's allowed t roam around the house. He carved his own sleeping corner, so when we need to find him, we know where to look.
Hope I have been of good help. Contact if you need more tips. Good luck
