Rabbit Breeder

I think it's kinda dumb how many vet blogs on here who've never took care of a rabbit in their life reblog a post that has something in it about how horrible it is to flip your rabbits over or keep them on wire cages but none of that's true.

I also think it's important to talk about how it's a lot different for someone who just has a rabbit as a house pet and someone who has rabbits to breed for show/meat/fur. With someone who just has a house rabbit there is no reason for them to have a wire bottom cage for their rabbits if they're just going to be running around a space in their house and are spayed/neutered and litter trained. I actually think it would be a dumb idea to waste their money on a wire bottom cage because there's just no purpose for it.

I'm not sure about flipping over rabbits, though. I guess you can easily get away with never flipping your rabbit over when you have a small pet rabbit with short fur that doesn't need intense brushing all over. You could probably also spend more time trying to cut it's nails without flipping it over when you just have one or two rabbits but that doesn't work for someone with rabbits that aren't just pets. Flipping your rabbit over is perfectly safe and an important thing to do to examine your rabbit and sex them and cut their nails.

I think it's super misleading for vets to be posting things saying they're bad without a second thought and then everyone eating it up because their favorite vet bloggers can never be wrong or mislead by something themselves. I'm not saying they're bad people because they really just probably don't know but I just want people to know that there's more than one way to keep a rabbit for sure and there is a lot of misleading info out there.
