Mason: Weekly Blog #2

1. Our pet rabbit Merin is a dutch rabbit.  Her scientific name is oryctolagus cuniculus.
2.  Their average lifespan is 5-8 years long.
3.  When they are adults they can weigh 4 1/2 to 5 pounds.
4.  We should feed Merin fresh vegetables, hay and pellets.
5.  Rabbits need their claws trimmed every 4-6 weeks.  You do not need to wash your rabbit because they clean themselves.
6.  You can teach them to stand up.  What you need to do is hold a treat between your fingers, when they see it raise it up above their head, say their name or "stand".  When they stand up give them the treat.
