This may seem to be unusual to the owner of any rabbit but always remember that this pet needs exercises as well. It is only through regular exercises, clean environment along with good nutrition and herbal remedies you can make the rabbit healthy. What does this indicate? The owner or you (if you have a rabbit) are required to be conscious of healthy diet. What’s more, if any rabbit becomes subjected to strain or unclean conditions, it can become ailing or prone to illness. This is certainly not desirable for you, I hope.

What are the conditions therefore? Well, before we proceed any further, it must be remembered that rabbits can suffer from stress, anxiety and depression and in this context they are quite similar to human beings. Stress is the ultimate factor that can be a contributor to many illnesses or diseases. There are also instances that prove rabbits can become victims of heart diseases and hypertension. For that reason any rabbit should be rendered a nutritious high fiber diet along with a tension free environment and lots of daily exercise.

Do you want an obese rabbit? Surely you don’t and I am confident of it. How can a rabbit become fatty and an easy prey of increasing diseases? It’s nothing but due to the presence of little exercise and a highly inadequate diet. Whenever a rabbit becomes wonderful toddler, it can have wounds and also cuts. In that case you have to consult a veterinarian and treat it with natural methods.

Even kidney problems can happen in rabbits and there may be the presence of kidney stones. Moreover it can get affected with kidney failure and cancer! Nevertheless this can be checked by means of proper diet and nutrition. Studies have brought to the fore that the dearth of these may turn it into aggressive.

There are, in fact, lots of behavioral problems that do happen to rabbits and your rabbit can be one of them. A healthy diet and exercise are the best maneuvers to make them enjoy long lives.

I have my own pet rabbit, and I am treating my pet as one of our family and as my baby. I feed him with some healthy pet food and vitamins as well.

Fruit and other sugary treats, including carrots, should be limited to 1 tbsp per 5lbs of body weight per day.Fresh dark, leafy greens are the second most important part of the house rabbit’s diet and should be fed daily in an amount of 1-2 cups per 5lbs of body weight.
