Bunny Rabbits: A Guide to Breeds and Caring for an Indian Bunny Rabbit at Home

Bunny rabbits are some of the most beloved pets worldwide, known for their cute appearance, gentle temperament, and playful energy. Though they are often thought of as low-maintenance pets, rabbits require specific care and attention to ensure they live healthy and happy lives. In this article, we will explore different breeds of rabbits, discuss their unique characteristics, and provide a detailed guide to caring for an Indian bunny rabbit at home.

I recently adopted 2 Indi bunnies, so a lot of the research for this article was first-hand. Joey and Cheetos were rescued from a roadside vendor (read as kidnapper) who had these babies stuffed in with at least a dozen others, in small bird cages. My life has been quite fun since they chose me (I promise to write about their adventures and our life together in another article, soon).

10 Popular Guinea Pig Accessories in India

 

The guinea pig or domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also widely recognized as the cavy or domestic cavy, is a rodent species of the Caviidae family. The animal is generally referred to as a cavy by breeders, although it is more commonly referred to as a guinea pig in scientific and laboratory contexts. They were first domesticated as livestock for the purpose of providing meat, and they are still eaten in some parts of the world.

Since its arrival to Europe and North America by European traders in the 16th century, the guinea pig has become a common pet in Western culture. Guinea pigs have remained a common household pet due to their docile behavior, comfortable responsiveness to handling and eating, and relative ease of care. Guinea pig competitive breeding organizations have sprung up all over the country. Breeders choose a variety of specialized breeds with different hair colors and textures.

My Favorite Dog Themed Movies

Movies have the ability to make us go through a whole range of emotions. They make us laugh, put us on the edge of our seats, and even make us sob and cry. Furry stars are an unlikely occurrence in movies. However, no one can deny the paw-some presence and adorableness they bring to the silver screen.

Peculiars Of The Deep

 

It is said that life on Earth started in a deep ocean hydrothermal vent over three billion years ago. Human beings came later, as a result of massive evolutionary changes to these microscopic oceanic beings. However, we have failed to explore underwater life owing to our interests in terrestrial life.

The blue waters of the sea may look enormous and unchanging, but life has always been undergoing rapid changes in its depths. From the obscure alien-like creatures that prowled the ocean millions of years ago to the more familiar whales and octopi, the ocean hosts diverse ecosystems.

Guinea Pigs: Little Bundles Of Joy

The fact that I’ve had 5 of these (2 right now), I’m surprised this blog post has taken so long to come out! My first ever guinea pig was Cheeku, a birthday present my brother got me all the way from Pune. Of the 5 I’ve had, so far, he was the smartest, most sensible of them all! Not only did he like to get petted, but he also loved to play and was not afraid to cuddle. He was ridiculously pampered and was around for about 2 years. Cheeku was replaced by Oreo and Ginger, bought from a local breeder here in Delhi itself. While Ginger’s journey with me was short-lived (he passed away in less than 3 months 🙁 ) Oreo played the role of a thankless pet for almost 3 years. Oreo was everything Cheeku was not; shy, skittish, greedy, and afraid to be petted, but he was still an integral part of my life. Oreo certainly knew how to pose for the camera! My latest piggies are Cookie and Honey, a gift from two very dear friends. I fear both of them are a little mental. 😛 When I got them, Cookie was shy and shrieked every time I picked him up, and Honey was more than happy to let me stroke his head and snout. Now that they’ve both gotten comfortable with me; Cookie loves getting petted and scratched, while Honey will do anything and everything to stay out of my grasp! Weirdos these two are!

My Favourite Dog Breeds

I LOVE DOGS. There, I said it, in all caps. Now before I share with you a list of my favorite dog breeds, here’s a little something about my own dog, Nuts (may he rest in peace). A pure-bred Lhasa Apso, he was named so, firstly coz imagination was low during those formative years, 😛 and because in less than 24 hours in our home, it was crystal clear, that we were nuts about him and he was nuts about us.

Rabid Dogs

Rabies is a virus that affects the brain and spinal cord of all mammals, including dogs, cats, and humans. Though preventable, there is a good reason that the word rabies evokes fear in people. The disease has been reported everywhere throughout the world except for Australia and Antarctica. Every year, rabies causes the deaths of more than 50,000 humans and millions of animals worldwide. Once the symptoms appear, the disease often results in a fatality. Although most animals are affected by this disease, this article focuses on rabies in dogs, the symptoms, precautions, and management.

Animal Shelters: The Need Of The Hour

 


Animal welfare is just as important as human welfare. Even though animal welfare is yet to become a global phenomenon, it is gaining importance in India at a rapid pace. It’s common to hear heartwarming stories of rescue operations and random acts of kindness. With proper awareness, people are now more involved in helping raise the living standards and status of all animals. Volunteers, NGOs, and organizations alike, are working relentlessly to create a better, happier environment for them. There is a monumental increase in donations being made for the cause.
