Who are they.... well presenting the macho rabbits ....
ROCKY & COCO
Rocky -1 February 2010 (1 month old)
Coco -18 September 2010 (2 months old)
What do we call them:
Male Rabbit = Buck
Female Rabbit = Doe
In order to take commitment to have rabbit as my pet, there are a few question that need to be answered:
- Why do I really need a rabbit? it's because i don't want a cat or birds or fish...heem....
- Am I Ready to have a rabbit? Yes ,i am .My house that i rent right now has a big lawn, and i can consider my time.....
- Am I willing to alter my lifestyle? Well the answer is i have tooooo....
- Am I Ready for emotional commitment? hahha.....for those who wanted to have rabbit think deep about this... i did not think about it when i had my decision to have a rabbit...Be ready of their changing behaviour from baby-adolescent-adult, such as urinate everywhere...bite you and cut your finger....Just try to understand them day by day...it's tiring process but its fun...
Early this year it was ROCKY & ROXXY......
Roxxy died..no chance to match mate them. ;(
Rocky was all alone for few months and thinking i'm his mate due to the fact that he urinate on me more then 5 times...how am i going to cope with that....i just can't
One day i went to the vet to check on his health. The vet said i need to find a mate for him in order for him to live longer...
Wow...ok...well...heem....i tried to match mate
On that day it self i bought a female rabbit 2months old....and name her Coco represent her coat.
Never let your rabbit without a mate...this is what happened....Rocky is peeping......
At first i was traumatize with Rocky's behavior towards the females in the pet shop..Well i guess i'm the causal of shameful action of directly trying to mate with the Does one by one.i think it's because he lived alone for few months...
I was worried on how to train Coco ..due to Rocky's action in the pet shop.... At first i put Coco in the fence..Rocky was peeping. I was scared that Rocky will make her traumatize too..she was only 2 months old.... Actually there is no worries when one day i left Rocky and Coco on the lawn together (without fence).... it was wonderful.. no need highly supervision...They were leaping , jumping, eating together... I need not to worry... because in order for me to find Coco...i just need to find Rocky....It's normal for a buck to tail a doe.....Rocky just act as a brother...so less training from me because Rocky already took my job...
'They said it's like Hindustan'
Eventually today i tried to put both of them in a cage...well this is the best opportunity for Rocky to mate to Coco..rocky was chasing her in the cage....errrr...all the food drop out the water splatter all around....So i decided they still need to be seperated... and COco is just 3 months old....Wait till she's ready....
When both of them on the lawn..Coco is the one that took charge..... she bullied Rocky...by making him chasing her all around the lawn.... When Rocky got near... she went off...When Rocky try to take a chance...she leap away....hhaha....go girl... That is why they said i'ts like Hindustan.....the chasing action in motion.....
Great diet
To have healthy rabbits.... take good care of their food and exercise....I always let them on the lawn in the morning before i went off to work and once more in the evening.
Not to much on pallet...they can get obese by it..serve some hay....for them..hay is good for their chewing activity...healthy teeth..just beware...because of too healthy teeth, Rocky bite me a few times...and causing my finger to bleed..You can serve alfalfa hay....and timothy hay.
Alfalfa hay is good for age 2-6 months old because it has high in protein..Futher more.... i serve timothy hay for Rocky to lessen the protein intake....
Fresh food is essential...i always give them 1 carrot a day....When Rocky was 3 months old, i kept serving him water convulvulus (kangkung) because he could not chew hard. Because of that, his urine was red in colour... I was so worried and brought him to the vet....before that i did my research through book and internet....that the discolouration of his urine maybe due to to much of beta carotene...Rabbit's does not have a kind of filter system in their body... So for vegetables that have high beta carotene has the tendency to make your rabbits urine red in colour.... It's normal.....
I'm the one that really exercising like hell.......In order to make Coco exercise....is actually Coco that making me exercise . I need to chase her all around the lawn, under the car....in between the wood blocks....just to bring her to the cage..... :)
