What does FBRC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Rabbits provide companionship, unconditional love and positive mental stimulation. They can also help bring a family closer together while providing hours of entertainment and joy. Rabbits are low maintenance pets that require regular but not necessarily complicated care.

Rabbit grooming needs will depend on your individual rabbit’s coat type, and their size and activity level. Long-haired breeds need to be brushed more often than short-haired rabbits. For short-haired rabbits, brushing once per week is usually sufficient. Long-haired rabbits should be brushed at least every other day to prevent tangled or matted fur.

A balanced diet for pet rabbits should consist primarily of hay, fresh vegetables, small amounts of fruit, and fortified pellets in limited amounts. The amount of hay fed should equal 80–85% while fresh vegetables should comprise 10–15% of the diet, with occasional treats making up the remaining 5%.

Changes in behavior such as reduced appetite or increased lethargy may indicate a medical problem in a rabbit. Additionally, changes in litter box habits, such as straining to pass fecal material or excessive gas production can point to underlying health issues. Unexplained weight loss may also warrant further investigation by a veterinarian for potential health problems.

Vaccination against diseases like Myxomatosis and RHD is recommended for all pet rabbits due to their greater risk of exposure when kept outdoors or around wild animals. Furthermore, even indoor bunnies that do not come into contact with other animals may benefit from vaccination as they are still vulnerable due to potential contact with humans who could potentially carry viruses on their clothing or shoes from outside contact with infected bunnies.

If your rabbit has any persistent lamellar discharge from the eyes or nose, loss of appetite lasting more than two days, difficulty breathing or coughing, diarrhea lasting more than two days time, an unusually rounded belly shape when sitting up indicating possible bloat/gastric stasis issues; you should immediately seek veterinary advice.

Thumping is usually a form of communication between bunnies which can indicate pleasure/displeasure/warning/annoyance/anger etc., but it may also be caused by boredom when there's not enough space to run around and play!

Your bunny must always feel secure when you pick them up - don't let them wriggle out from underneath your arm! It's important to use both hands when handling them so you have full control over them at all times; one hand should support the back legs while you use your other hand to support their bottom half. Always put your bunny down gently so that they don't feel unsafe!

Bedding used in a rabbit hutch should be non-toxic materials free from dust – wood shavings are one example that works well for this purpose – straw is another great option although it can get messy quicker due buffer frequently being kicked out by playful bunnies! Additionally hutch liners made specifically for rabbits are also available which minimize mess too!
