the best kinds of rabbits for allergies here<\/a> if you’re still deciding what type of rabbit to buy and you’re concerned about getting one that’s easy on the sinuses. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRabbits are very social creatures and they will not be good for kids if they are easily distracted by other preferred modes of entertainment. If you cannot afford a second rabbit to ease the anxiety a rabbit can have without proper child companionship, it may not be best for your kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Rabbits are known to be one of the most affectionate pets for kids to have.<\/strong> When bonded well enough with their child owners, they will follow them around the house and even jump into their child caretaker\u2019s laps on command, having been used to hearing their voice so often. They make nice cuddle buddies as they are social creatures who need lots of time with your kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s interesting is they can be litter box trained and as their teeth grow they can be filed down with wood toys\/chewing blocks to reduce the risk of the rabbit biting your child. If you are worried about vet expenses, they are as cheap as they come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You only need to take them to a rabbit vet if they show symptoms of upper respiratory problems (wheezing, discharge from the nose, loss of appetite\/weight) as they are the most common but will only show if the rabbit isn\u2019t properly cared for.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nDo’s and Don’ts to Remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDo\u2019s<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nDo have the kids cuddle gently with the rabbits often as this is the best way to bond.<\/li> Do wipe your rabbit with pet-safe wipes or a damp cloth<\/strong> if they get dirty.<\/li>Do get a rabbit if your child needs an ESA as they are most ideal<\/strong>. <\/li>Do take your rabbit to a rabbit specialist as more than likely a typical vet will not know if your rabbit has health issues. <\/li> Do keep your rabbit\u2019s nails trimmed and teeth filed using the proper toys and nail clippers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019ts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nDo not bathe your rabbit as they have sensitive skin and can cause hypothermia\/shock. <\/li> Do not give your rabbit sweets as this can trigger a deadly G1 stage that proceeds to death. <\/li> Do not handle your rabbit by the scruff\/lay them on their backs\/cradle-like as if it is a baby. This will lead them to be in shock as this relates to them thinking they are captured by a predator. <\/li> Do not leave your rabbit outside if they are not in a well-vented enclosure protected from the wind or outside predators. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe success of your child being able to enjoy a rabbit\u2019s company is if the upkeep of the environment\/enclosure is often and if the rabbit is being given lots of social and physical bonding<\/strong>. If this meets the needs of your household and children needs then a rabbit is a perfect pet for your kids. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So you\u2019re ready to have a new addition to the family, but this one is for the already bouncing joys in your life.
