Ever Wonder Why Rabbit\u2019s Teeth Keep Growing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother way to make sure your rabbits stay healthy is to keep your rabbit’s<\/strong> nails trimmed. When trimming your rabbit’s nails, you need to first locate the “quick” which is the part of the nail that contains blood. Once you’ve located the quick, hold your index finger and your thumb above the quick. It’s important to locate the quick so you know you are not cutting into the vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSigns Of An Unhealthy Rabbit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n An unhealthy rabbit is an inactive one. Activity may change with increased <\/strong>age, but those changes will be gradual rather than sudden. If your rabbit suddenly becomes aggressive and seems tired, your rabbit may be trying to tell you that something is wrong. <\/strong>If your rabbit is laying on its side and it doesn’t have the energy to get up, that is a sign that your rabbit is unhealthy and needs attention from a vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour rabbit may not want to eat food either. If your rabbit hasn’t eaten for more than 12 hours, that is a red flag in your rabbit’s<\/strong> health as well. A rabbit needs fiber in its diet to avoid any dental problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou should also be sensitive to any changes in vocalization.

This is a sign that they are experiencing pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother thing to keep an eye out for is if your rabbit starts losing its fur. If they are shedding excessively or spend a lot of time grooming themselves or scratching, this is usually a sign of underlying health concerns<\/strong>. Often, lost fur is associated with external parasites. While this could be the case, there are many other possibilities and reasons your rabbit could be losing its fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen or if you see your rabbit experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact your vet as soon as possible to help your rabbit remain as healthy as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
