How do you raise rabbits?

Below are some ideas (and some disagreement). For more specific information about how to raise rabbits, see the related questions below.

Some Ideas:

It's quite easy they make wonderful pets for kids and teens. You just gotta cuddle with them and feed them milk and other soft products. Just keep them warm.

It depends whether the rabbit is a baby and if you have had it since it was little. Otherwise just keep picking it up, stroking it and then maybe take it inside. Rabbits also like Cadbury chocolate buttons so if they come to you and not run away then give them a treat. It's a little like raising a dog!

Disagreement: The above advice will hurt your rabbit! Chocolate is poisonous for bunnies (and many pets), and rabbits should never drink cow milk: only their rabbit mother's milk when they're nursing, and no milk at all once they're weaned (or any animal products, including yoghurt).

If a baby bunny is abandoned before it's weaned, possible alternatives are KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) for a domestic baby rabbit, or goat's milk for a wild baby rabbit - but it's very difficult to hand raise rabbits! For the sake of the bunny, you should contact a local authority for help (see links below).

Rabbits are not good pets for most children. Rabbits require daily attention and care. They're very fragile and easily injured by bad handling. They can frighten and panic easily. They hide their illnesses and injuries, so it takes a dedicated and careful eye to monitor their health and wellbeing. They wake up before dawn, which means they're not good bedroom pets. They live 10 years or more. These are just some reasons why they're not the best pet for most kids.
