The rabbit is a territorial animal, and relatively dominant. You must teach him as soon as possible to share his territory: otherwise pay attention to bites when you put his hand in his cage, even to feed him. He is very curious, and participates in family life: that said, he remains very timid and suspicious; He will learn little by little to accept the noises and movements that surround him. Very good playmate, it can prove to be a "puppy who goes to get his baballe": naturally, the rabbit loves to move everything (manger, sticks to nibble, ...). It is very fun to teach him to run after a bullet, or to throw him a toy that he will raise himself ...

Rabbits are predisposed to dental abscess whatever their age. These abscesses are not always visible, and any ocular (lacrimation), nasal (jetting), or buccal (salivation) discharge must make them think. In addition to the curettage of the abscess, removal of one or more teeth is mandatory. This is done under general anesthesia, and poses no feeding worries thereafter for the rabbit.
