I am a pet enthusiast near Skaneateles. I have a love for business, computers, education, politics, nutrition, and many other subjects. I’ve been a substitute teacher, convenience store manager, manager of marketing and sales for a computer company, a business owner, and a postal worker. Any subject you would like to talk about, feel free and I’ll create a blog just for that. For the HazyPets blog, I’ll discuss anything and everything about pets. But feel free to interject other ideas for other blogs, and I’ll help get it started.
I love to talk about, research, and raise animals. If anyone would like to discuss their pets feel free to join in. I’ll try to post something daily about one of my animals. Currently I live with rats, cats, a rabbit, ball pythons, mice, tree frogs, an iguanna, and parakeets. Today I’ll focus on Hollop.
Hollop is a Holland Lop Ear rabbit. I got him about two months ago and he is about 3 years old. I let him run around the house a few times a week to get exercise. He’s very hard to catch.
Holland Lops are great beginner pets. You need a large cage, timothy hay, a balanced rabbit food, a water source and some sort of bedding. I would stay away from cedar as it can contain some oils that many animals are allergic to. Pine can contain these oils, but not in as high concentrations, and I have not had any problems with pine for any animals. Aspen is also a good choice. I would stay away from newsprint due to high ink content.
Rabbits need plenty of room to run and play. So take your rabbit out once in a while and let it run around. It will be much happier and healthier.
