Rabbit Grooming


The rabbit is a very clean animal, but that does not mean we should not take care of your toilet so that the animal is in perfect condition. For this, we must deal with bathing, clipping the nails and take a look at their teeth, to make sure the animal is in good health.

The bathroom is a very stressful time for the rabbit, so you do not always shake and reassuring as possible to the animal. Not to destroy the natural protection of your hair, you should not bathe your pet more than twice a year. You must use a shampoo with a pH suitable for your skin and always warm water.

Avoid bathe in winter, because you could catch a cold. You should not soaking the eyes or ears, because you could irritate. After bathing, you dry it well, but do not use the dryer, because in addition to scare you, there may be some burn.

When clipping the nails, you better do it the first time the vet, so you can learn how.

Because they grow quickly, this operation should be undertaken frequently to keep them from growing excessively.

We must look to the light nails, so you can see where the hair begins. Simply cut the white part, in which there are no capillaries, making a cut and slightly inclined to follow the shape of the nail. If we cut too much by accident, we stop the bleeding by pressing the area with gauze.

As the teeth do not need to be cleaned, but we must watch that grow properly, without deviations. To prevent this from happening, we must provide enough hay.
