Mooki... that’s me! My name is just plain fun to say! I am a 6 week old kitten that is the sole survivor in my litter. Mom was having a tough time finding food for even her survival. But, good news!! My mom Looki and myself are doing much better now and will keep thriving in any loving home. We are both good with kids, other cats and dogs.

Rabbit Nutrition continued from page 9
necessary for pet rabbits on an otherwise balanced diet. Feeding green foods is an excellent way to provide a variety of nutrients and provide water. Make sure the bunny is eating primarily hay and go slowly when initially introducing these foods. Monitor the feces carefully and look for soft stools. There are many greens that you can provide. In general, the more green they are the better. Some specific examples are broccoli, dandelion greens and flowers, parsley, romaine lettuce, brussel sprouts and others. Remember, hay first and then about 1/2 cup of greens per pound of bunny each day. Treat foods should be limited to no more than one-half a tablespoon per pound of bunny each day. These include fresh foods such as kiwi, raspberries, pears, pineapple, strawberries, apples, carrots, melons and others. I see many pet rabbit owners feed commercially prepared treat foods. Their foods often contain excessive amounts of starch and fat. I recommend avoidance of such foods as they can lead to gastrointestinal problems and obesity. Some examples of these are breads, grains in general, seeds, beans and sugary products. If proper diets are provided then rabbits will not need vitamin, salt or mineral supplementation. Remember to also provide a fresh source of water and daily exercise to keep your bunny hopping! local stories...local people...local pets
Pets get sunburned too! Pets with lightcolored noses, or fur on their ears, are more vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer and may need a sunscreen specifically labeled for animals. Ask your vet. pet rescue magazine
