As Easy As ABC

I never really thought raising rabbits could be so much fun... And not tough at all... Its also as easy as ABC...

It was only last year that i bought my first pair of rabbit... They were just newly weaned when they were delivered to me... I gave them brocolli everyday (no pellets yet) and brought them to a vacant lot nearby where grasses are... They would stay there the whole day and i would checked on them from time to time... Looking after whether they still have water and food, and caged them during night time...

Six months after, i let them run loosely at my backyard where i lost the black one... I felt very sorry for Robbie for loosing his mate, and for him not to get disheartened, i got two female rabbits (no, not at the same time and with different sources too) to keep him company....

Ayan na, they hopped freely on my backward til Yuka gave birth... But the kits died in just a couple of hours, maybe because they were just simply on the ground... Same thing happened to Yay when she first gave birth too... Though i must admit that it was all my fault for not looking after them closely at the crucial days of their lives... I thought giving them the freedom to run and hopped freely on a wider space is enough.. I do not even know whether they were pregnant and needing special attention... Kawawa talaga!! Kaya naman recently, i posted an ad on here selling them on a bargain price na... Imagine selling them at P500 each na lang??? tapos wala pang takers even if i say that they seem to be pregnant... Although there were some who called and texted din naman, kya lang they want to meet up which i dont agree too...

With Yay's having kits now... suddenly changed my mind of not selling them... Ay madali naman pala sila alagaan kung aalagaan talaga!!! Ang nakakatuwa pa nyan, with the hutch placed in the facade, maraming bata ang natutuwa sa mga rabbits... And my neighbors wanted to buy the kits... ganun lang pala yun e!!! sa ngayon, i am truly enjoying helping yay with her kits... Ambait kasi nya. Love nya yun mga babies nya kaya love ko din sya...

Know The Difference Between A Healthy And Sick Bird

In the last lesson, we mentioned that visiting a breeder is
the best option when you are buying birds for the first
time. You will only be able to find a healthy bird if you
know the difference between a healthy bird and a sick bird.

At first glance, you won't be able to tell a sick bird
from a group of birds. But upon closer inspection, there
are specific traits or characteristics that will tell you
that a bird should not be purchased because of its
poor health:

1. An active bird is the picture of optimum bird
health. If a bird is constantly flying, hopping and preening
itself, that means the bird is in top condition.

Inversely, a bird that seems dizzy or lethargic may be
suffering from "star gazing" disorder or it may be suffering
from an infection. Fluffy feathers also means the bird may
be feeling cold and weak.

2. Take a look at the bird's feathers. Healthy birds
have uniform, smooth-patterned feathers and no balding
areas. Sick birds will have balding spots and the vent
region (the bird's bottom) will have wet, dirty feathers.

3. The bird's head can also tell you if it is healthy
or not. A healthy bird will have an erect, jaunty head and
clear, bright eyes. If the bird's head is moving from side
to side, the bird is probably suffering from a neurological
disorder or from malnutrition.

if you just have brought a new bird to your home, the next
lesson will be very interesting for you.

We'll talk about how important it is that all the small
things are done correctly to ensure that your new mate
thrive in it's new home.

Xtin, Buy Birds Directly From Breeders, Please

Hi Xtin.

You may have been tempted to buy birds from online trading
boards and online pet shops. We do not recommend these
commercial avenues because you will not be able to select
the actual bird from a group of birds in their actual living
conditions.

If you order from online trading boards or online pet shops,
it is possible that the bird that you get will not be the
exact animal that you purchased.

That's why many online pet catalogs will have fine print
that states that the animals shown in the catalogs may not
be the same as the animals that are actually shipped when
someone orders.

To make sure that you get a healthy, vibrant bird, we
recommend that you visit a pet shop (at the very least) or
individual breeders or avian enthusiasts.

There are many benefits when you choose these avenues over
online or mail-order commercial avenues:

1. You can see all the birds that are for sale in the
flesh. You will be able to inspect every facet of the birds
that you want to purchase and the breeder won't be able to
hide signs of neglect, if such signs are present. You can
make sound buying decisions by just looking at the physical
appearance of the birds.

2. You can inspect the cages or the aviary of the
breeder. If the aviary is extremely dirty and droppings
abound, there is a big chance that the birds inside are
already sick from parasites and bacterial infections. You
can simply walk away when you find that the birds are kept
in horrendous living conditions.

3. When you do find a good breeder, that breeder will
be your new go-to person when you need someone to talk to
about your new birds.

With that said, you can be expecting this in the future:

Next time we speak, we'll be on about knowing the
difference between a healthy and a sick bird. If you have
more than one bird, it can be difficult to determine which
one is sick.

Bisaklat

I have one parakeet who got splayed legs that are really bisaklat (spread apart). While it is true that it can not walk, but yet he can fly from one side to the other of a 17x30 cage, and he can sleep and rest on natural tree perches just like what other normal birds do.

When Bisaklat was still a few months old, i kept him inside my room where i let him fly freely, from where he got confidence. The only sad part with Bisaklat is that he could not be given a partner for it seems he could not mate afterall.
