A Woman Bought a Rabbit and Found It Was Experiencing a 'False Pregnancy'
Many people prioritize cats and dogs as pets because these two types of pets are more communicative, while other fluffy pets like rabbits and hamsters are somewhat less communicative.
Below, we share a story about raising a rabbit as a pet. This woman bought a rabbit at a pet store, and its looks were no less adorable than those of a cat, with long ears and big eyes that were very cute. However, after raising the rabbit for a few days, the woman discovered a strange thing: the rabbit always carried a blade of grass in its mouth and didn't eat.
The woman had no experience raising rabbits, so she didn't know what it meant. She consulted other 'spoiled' pet owners online, and when she saw the result, she couldn't help but laugh. Many people said that this was a phenomenon of rabbits getting pregnant or 'false pregnancy'. The woman was a little at a loss: did she buy the rabbit already pregnant? Hopefully, it's just an illusion.
Dr. Xiao Ming, the veterinarian, understood the woman's feelings. Welcoming a new life is a happy thing, but for inexperienced 'spoiled' pet owners, it can be a bit of a burden. They are afraid of making mistakes, so it's best to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Dr. Xiao Ming explained: Rabbits will also exhibit some unusual behavior when in heat, such as male rabbits spraying urine to attract females, and they will become irritable, aggressive, and destructive.
Raising rabbits is a little more demanding than raising cats and dogs, because rabbits' stomachs are very sensitive, and they need to be fed special food, and they cannot drink tap water, it's best to change fresh cool water every day.
