- 1. How long do bunnies live? Our book seems to ignore this eventuality....
- our bunny is nearly seven years old (how much time left?)
-
- 2. I've read a few posts and....what's with all this papaya tablet and
- acidophilus enzyme stuff? Will giving it to him now do anything good?
-
- 3. We know it's "bad", but how much in sweet things is tolerable? He's crazy
- about sweet things (marshmallows, mini-oreos, Toblerone chocolates etc.)
- I imagine moderation is a safe guide(?).
-
- 4. I think 6-7 years is at least middle age, or old age for bunnies. Any
- suggestions for older rabbits? He appeared to be waning recently, so
- I gave him a lot more carrots and apples etc, and he perked up.
- He doesn't hop as much when let him out (he'll hop for a little while,
- then just sit down for a long time).
-
- 5. Feed: he lives on Purina Rabbit Chow, or Buckerfield's Rabbit Feed.
- He has unlimited access to food. He doesn't appear fat, so should we
- change anything?
-
- 6. (not important) any theories why rabbits will lick some people but not
- others? He licks me, but not others (and they feel like the bunny's not
- being affectionate), I say it's just for salt.
