Taking care of a Chinese Rabbit

Got this off of Wikipedia, whether you believe them or not is upto you!!

Quote:

Domesticated rabbits are most comfortable in temperatures between 10 to 21 degrees Celsius (50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit), and cannot endure temperatures above 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit). Veterinarians specializing in rabbits recommend a diet consisting of hay, water, and small amounts of pellets. Other organic vegetables, such as carrots, are recommended as dietary supplements, but light greens, such as iceberg lettuce, can cause carbon dioxiode gas bubbles in their dietary tracts that can lead to their early death.

I hope you got that last part.

Anyways, I don't know the difference in care between species, but if you bought them from a reputable store and they told you no water, then I guess they know what they're talking about. Best advice I can suggest is an exhaustive search through the internet to find out more information, or look in a bookshop or library.




Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why do they bring in Chinese Rabbits to the States anyway? Are they an exotic pet? I've hardly heard of a Chinese Rabbit and I live in Hong Kong!!

But it looks like if you want to keep them as pets, you're gonna need to give them special care since they're so....fragile. Anyway, good luck. Hope the 2 you have now stay healthy for a long time.




There's nowhere I can't reach.
