The Truth: A rabbit can not live on just carrots, lettuce, and cabbage because it needs a balanced diet, like people. A rabbit cannot survive on just those 3 items; because one has a lot of sugar, one is almost all water, and cabbage is not good for them.
Myth #2 All treats from pet stores are healthy.The
Truth: Almost all rabbit feeds have a lot of sweetened fruits and nuts that are not needed in the feed. The treats will make your rabbit fat and cause digestive problems. If you feed your rabbit a treat every day, it's like feeding a person junk food everyday.
Myth #3 Baby rabbits can go to an owner by 3 or 4 weeks old because they are eating some solid food and are ready to be away from mom.
The Truth: A baby rabbit, when it is only three or four weeks old, still needs it's mother's rich milk. Even though it is nibbling on solid foods a rabbit needs to be with mom until 6-8 weeks. If you give them away to young they will be whinining a lot and could lead to serious problems later.
Myth #4 Rabbits don't make noise.
The Truth: Bunnies make a wide variety of noise. The most common noise is purring, kind of like a buzzing noise. Sometimes screaming, because they are scared.
