Are rabbits suitable for beginners?

I want a pet. Either a cat or another animal that's easy to care for but with whom I can form a close bond.

Pets always involve a lot of responsibility. It's just harder to go on vacation with rabbits (and to find someone to look after them).

So, if you want to keep a rabbit pear properly, you need not only a lot of space, but also time. Unfortunately, rabbits are relatively susceptible to illness, depending on their attitude, which also depends on their origin. If you ask if they are suitable for beginners… Everyone starts as a beginner. So if you're willing to provide them well and get you tips, then nothing speaks against rabbits if you're aware of the great task. However, there is also a lot of crap as well as a lot, really a lot of care. They are not cuddly animals, with some character exceptions. They're asking you a lot. You can build a close bond to you, but there is no guarantee for it.

With cats I don't know so well so I don't say anything xD

I already had some animals and I honestly found a hamster the easiest care. Of course, there is also a lot to consider here and large amounts of knowledge you need to collect.

Each animal has high standards. It depends on you how much you are willing to sacrifice for the animals. If you love her, you are willing to give up his conveniences πŸ™‚

For example, I haven't been on holiday for 12 years, buy me things I just want to rarely because I prefer always to have money for veterinarian in reserve, the more the better. I sacrifice all my free time for the animals. For the rabbits go alone on the day only pick up for meadows and run-outs and for flies partly control two hours on it. Then set another two hours for feeders and to them and half an hour for employment (cancellaneous on a voluntary basis, without leash; ball games, search games). For hamsters, desert mice and fish, there is not so much time.

If you're a cat fan and want to build a close bond to the animal, cats are the right thing for you.

Rabbits are not easy to care for. Rabbits prefer to build ties with their fellows than with people. Rabbits are animals to observe, not cuddly animals.

Some say that rabbits are a problem-shaping when they develop snaps. But you just have to feed them a few leaves of Spitwegrich daily. By the way, help you with snaps.

Cats are problematic because they tend to possess their "owner". And they're making the surroundings crazy with their whines.

Rabbit hemorrhage is a disease that does not cure itself without veterinary assistance. A few leaves of Spitwegrich do not help.

Untreated, the cold leads to death.

It would be very nice if rabbits were to develop only one sock as a disease.

They are partly very susceptible to illness and hide pain or diseases very well. Often you can only notice it when it's too late. Then you drive to the animal clinic as quickly as possible, it is an invoice of €700 (which is also worth the animal) and still it cannot be saved. In addition, many veterinarians do not know very well in the rabbits.

A cat shows much more of her discomfort or pain. But rabbits are true masters in hiding pain and diseases, as they would otherwise tempt to eat enemies. They suffer quietly and so long until it is no longer possible. You make accusations for years or you have guilt feelings and feel like a failure.

I regret holding rabbits. They are great animals, but – as I said – they hide discomfort and pain very well and you usually notice it too late.

Happy and a nice time!

So, you don't have to provoke it unnecessarily

Guys, can you read? Do you no longer learn how to read in school?

In order for nothing to be provoked, you should give trumpets as soon as possible!

If the rabbit already has a proper nipple with a running nose, you should act

Right. That's exactly what we did. With success. Without poison from the pharmacy.

What's that supposed to be? I just don't think Spitwegrich can do this alone. If the rabbit already has a correct snippet with a running nose, you should act before the snuff sets and causes lung or ear inflammation.

Hello!

Generally, both animals are suitable for beginners. Someday is always the first time. You have to think about whether you really want an animal or whether you're getting bored again. You will have the animal or animals on your side for at least 8 years.

Besides, of course, you have to inform you about the animal.
In rabbits, I recommend you use the complete page https://www.kaninchenwiese.de/ to read.

In cats I don't know a good side yet, but you'll probably find a good book about cats. It's important that you don't believe everything and first look who's behind a website.

I hope I could help you!

Okay:) As I said, both are suitable. You really have to be willing to invest time in your animal(s), even if you don't want to worry about them. And they won't get bored after two weeks.
It's best to talk to your parents about it. They can judge you better than we as a community.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I meant that rabbits can be 8-10 years old, but of course they can die from illnesses earlier.
My 2 rabbits are 7-8 (the exact age we don't know because they are from the shelter) and cheerful:)

Have a good day!

A close bond is rather rarely built up to rabbits, there are animals for watching and not for petting.

You have close ties to dogs, but they are also the most expensive. Cats went too. But you have to settle the holiday question before you buy animals! Cats are not in the stranger, so you need someone to get your cats at your home when you're gone.

Animal which is easy to care, but with which you can build a close bond

Rabbits are neither easy to care for nor want to be cuddled by you. They're not dogs.

Rabbits are pets with high standards. If you want a low-care animal, you should get a pet. Rabbits are completely out of place.

Hamsters are not suitable for children because they are night-active. Also most hamsters may not be stroked and taken on hand.

Come on. We've got a jungle hamster and he doesn't sleep much, but he doesn't come right away when you have something to eat. I think it's a very good one. Pet because they are very easy to care and do not live so long (if you notice that a pet is nothing for you)

A cat or, if the time is there, a dog. With a cat or a dog you can build a bond, play and cuddle. Rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs are not animals to cuddle with. Most may not care and be taken on the arm.

Hello!

You shouldn't take them on your arm, you're right. However, if you get used to the animals, they'll let them be careful! The important thing is that the animals can get away and are not forced to care.

But you're right, they're not cuddly animals.

Vennesla

There you are right, but children want to caress animals and cuddle with them and play, so rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters are not suitable for children.

Keeping a guinea pig is animal cruelty! And they're not for cuddling either.

I also keep NO guinea pigs alone! Never! I'm just taking care of her occasionally. And yes they are not to cuddle because they are very shy and like to hide. I don't think I'm tormenting them, and I'm gonna make sure they're kept kind.

Guinea pigs must never be kept alone, they must be artisans. You also need a lot of space for the enclosure, as the cages from the zoo shop are too small. Most guinea pigs may not be stroked and taken on hand.

A guinea pig is an observation animal and not a cuddly animal!!! Also is a single Meeri animal torture!! At least 2, best one group!! And they are not easy to care!! You have to be ready to invest time in the animals!!

Guinea pigs are anything but easy to care if you keep them up!! Especially because they are best kept third or fourth there should be group animals (2 would be an absolute emergency solution and not the true one).

That's right, but it's easier to care than dogs.

Your answer has worked a bit as if you were to β€œtake a guinea pig quickly, this is easy to maintain and very sweet so you can cuddle great with it and lots of space does not need it”. I don't want to undermine you so I've noticed the answer.
