CARE | SICKNESS | TYPES OF RABBITS
By Christine
Most bun lovers wish that their fur babies can live as long as humans. But the fact that common animal companions typically have short lifespans is all the more reason to enjoy and cherish the time we spend with them, right?

A rabbit’s nutritional requirement is different from that of your other pets. Knowing what to feed your bun will help boost his chances for a long and healthy life.
