I have kept a rabbit since the spring of 2009. It’s called Netherland Dwarf with a small size and ear standing. The same kind of rabbit is in the story of Peter Rabbit. His name is Caesar, which is from my favorite character, Caesar Zeppeli, that appears in the comics “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” by Mr. Hirohiko Araki. I thought Caesar was brought up to be the well-mannered rabbit no Splaying and mounting.
Currently, seven years old. In terms of human beings is that of a long 60-year-old.
The cage is large in size, 80cm, and is sold in Japan. Pet Circle was connected in the joint and bought wire mesh at a nearby hardware store. Brushing tools and Maglite be seen in the upper right corner. I use Maglite to light it up, not cut blood vessels running inside his nails.
At first, I used the fan-shaped ceramic toilet, but it was too small. I changed it to a big plastic one. It is easy to clean.
The connection of the wire mesh barrier was noisy when Caesar was playing with it; I used vinyl tape between the connection and wire mesh to prevent making a sound. Now Caesar doesn’t play with it; I left the tapes.
The grass is served unlimited. Because I’m not too fond of the grass scattered around the room, I put it in a small cage for the grass stocking. Look to the right is a cool aluminum plate. It seems comfortable when Caesar is flopping on in the hot summer.
I think he can jump outside easily from the top of this tiny cage. But he understands that the flooring is hard to walk and does not escape.
I prepared the marble plate for a heat-radiating effect. When the rabbit is relaxed, he touches the head on the ground, throws out his legs, and falls asleep. Even if the surroundings are noisy, he doesn’t seem to be worrying about it.
The rabbit is a representative animal that conducts coprophagy after eating grass and eats coprophagy, which smells like a small, soft excretory substance. This is a nutritional origin, so it’s a significant act. Then, round dry excrement comes out. Our Caesar is poor at coprophagy and messed up the toweling blanket on the floor. A blanket can be machine-washed so that cleanness can be maintained. However, a rabbit gnawing at a cloth one sometimes dies of clogging the belly.
Caesar did not bite it, but the rug and blanket were 100% cotton for safe. I think it’s dangerous to use chemical fibers.
More than 90% of excretion is in the toilet. Or come out during the nap; he has sometimes spilled out of the toilet. Perfection is impossible. Toilet Seat has been replaced frequently. Thin pet sheets for small dogs are sufficient.
I heard it’s better to let him tap water, not mineral water. The latter is not suitable for health because various germs quickly grow in the water bottle. Caesar loves food of carbohydrates. I had given a little snack for dry pasta, udon, somen, bread, brown rice, walnuts, and almonds,
but it did not seem to match the rabbit’s bowels; it’s written in
many books. Caesar is so happy as his expression changes; it’s trouble if
he stops eating grass. I feed only a pellet (since born, only the brand
Bunny Selection) and grass, alfalfa cubes now. He had been
appealing to embark half of the body from the circle in the rustling
sound of the grocery bag; now, he doesn’t get up during the nap.
Caesar doesn’t like to be carried up so a long time. On the back of a rabbit’s foot, there is no pad. It is bushy. So the flooring is slippery, and it doesn’t seem easy to walk. It is unsuitable for rabbit joints; a blanket is spread in the activity area.
How Caesar is relaxing on a marble throne.
Caesar baby rabbit three weeks.
Around three months old.
A coat of hair is not good in the molting period. Relaxes on the cool floor.
The start rabbit house is like this. I bought the rabbit pasture house, but he didn’t live there. Eventually, it was destroyed, nibbled all.
Old pasture case. Still, the rabbit was small. Now the breeding environment has become a functional design.
A formal photograph. The camera eye firmly.
Caesar is motionless scared or gives up escaping when he is on his back. It’s no problem if he lets me cut his fingernails; when he acts violently, I cover his head with a towel and retain the position lightly at my side. Generally, the frequency of nail clippers is once a month.
It is a free-range in the circle, sometimes to play in the room, laying the blankets widely. He does the dash or high jump happily.
He is curious about something he doesn’t know pretty, and he approaches when he’s in a good mood. However, I think rabbits are not very attached as cats and dogs. I recommend you get enough information before starting breeding.

Plastic toilet for rabbits. I hadn’t cleaned up for a while; urinary stones were 5mm or thicker. It is shameful for rabbit owners. It is impossible with water and ordinary detergent to drop them. It will be pretty clean after spraying the citric acid aqueous solution. It is a pity I forgot to take a picture before cleaning, but I will retake it when it gets dirty. I felt like peeling the oyster off the shell rather than taking the urinary stone.
After moving, I put the rabbit cage in the Japanese-style room temporarily. A clear ball was used instead of a pasture box, but this is necessary to make pancake and white sauce of the gratin with a microwave, so an exclusive item will be necessary as expected.
So I bought a grass feeder. This room is pretty bright. Because it is sunny, it is about 28 degrees in the daytime when closing the window. I’m worried about the heat of midsummer.
Ummm, Caesar, who likes corrugated cardboard, is gnawing corners. I will report it when I start using it at a later date.

I can arrange the pasture neatly. The strength of the spring isn’t strong, so that a rabbit can eat pasture easily.
Yes, Caesar seemed to like it. Because Caesar loved spikes of the grass very much, he grew big for Netherland Dwarf.

For a rabbit exercise, set up a water bottle a little above, and he cannot drink water unless he stretches out. He climbs the second floor of the cage and drinks it from the side.
I took off the second-floor part of the wire mesh quickly. It is a very high possibility of hurting his fingers by hooking the nails when he goes up and down. It is a personal opinion that it is better not to let him needless moving up and down.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
