Vinegar is one of those catch-all, utilitarian substances that people can't seem to say enough good things about. It's non-toxic, inexpensive, and so effective at removing tough stains and bacteria. If you are trying to litter-train your bunny, dabbing areas with vinegar that you would like them to avoid is a great way to slowly direct them to where you would like them to do their business. The only drawback to vinegar is the odor.
An effective alternative to vinegar is lemon juice. It has the same acidic properties but smells much better. Rabbits also tend to react to lemon in the same way as they do to vinegar so it can also be used as a litter-training tool in addition to a cleaning agent. One drawback is that using lemon is more labor-intensive (to squeeze the juice out) and expensive than vinegar. But if the smell of vinegar leaves you reeling, try lemon.

As the seasons change, it is normal for rabbits to shed their fur. This is especially true in the summer, where a thick coat of fur is simply unnecessary with the hot and humid weather. However, some rabbits moult in excess of the four-season-change. For some, this is natural. But for some, this may be attributed to their environment.
If you are noticing that your pet rabbit is shedding excessively this summer, take a look at the temperature settings in your home. It sounds simple, but turning on the air conditioner or fan may be all that is needed to reduce the frequency of your pet rabbits' moult. Also check that your rabbits' cage does not receive direct sunlight or at least receives partial shade. Rabbits are sensitive to changes in temperature due to their fur coat. What may be comfortable for you may be unbearable for them. Keeping your home a consistent temperature throughout the year may be just what is required to minimize excessive fur loss. |
