I have an animal : Rabbits
Rabbits
Rabbits are affectionate and personable, and they make 
wonderful companions, however, they do require a lot of care and attention. A well-cared-for rabbit can live 12 to 15 years.
While they do need a lot of attention and daily care, they also make great pets for most of our work schedules. Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they are most active in the mornings and evenings and sleep for most of the day and through the night.
As social creatures, rabbits do best in pairs and will need a few hours of your attention each day. They're curious, playful, can learn tricks and enjoy having toys and projects to entertain themselves. If you're considering keeping multiple bunnies, it’s best to pair a spayed female with a neutered male, or adopt an already bonded pair.
Diet
A healthy rabbit’s diet consists of an unlimited supply of Timothy hay, a small amount of pellets and plenty of fresh vegetables. A rabbit’s digestive system is very complex, and even slightly spoiled food can cause gastric and other serious problems and should always be avoided. Keep fresh water available in a suspended "licker" water bottle and/or in a heavy ceramic dish at all times.
Vegetables should be washed in warm water and can be given wet to help provide more moisture in their diet. Nearly every rabbit enjoys parsley, basil, dandelion greens (if picked make sure they are pesticide-free), brussel sprouts and endive. There are many vegetables that rabbits can have, and you may find yourself eating healthier as you shop for your rabbit’s food. Some other veggies you can try include clover sprouts (not to be confused with bean sprouts), watercress, arugala, radish tops, cilantro, dill, escarole, wheatgrass, kale, and collard greens.
A rabbits should never be left without food because of their complex digestive system. Leaving them without hay or water can cause cessation of normal intestinal movement (peristalsis), which can cause death to bunnies. A healthy diet of Timothy hay and plenty of fresh vegetables, along with the vitamins provided in a small amount of daily pellets will help your bunny to live a long, healthy and happy life.
When you want to reward your bunny for performing your favorite trick (or just for being cute), there are a variety of treats you can give them. For special treats rabbits enjoy very small servings of carrots, apple slices (no seeds), or many other fruits. Treats should be limited to once or twice a day and given in small amounts.
Health
Rabbits have sensitive respiratory and digestive systems. Because they can't vomit and are susceptible to intestinal blockage, it's essential that they receive a proper diet and are groomed regularly to prevent hairballs. Rabbits are very good at cleaning themselves and should never be bathed, as it can cause them to go into shock. On the rare occasion that your bunny needs help cleaning, use a damp, warm cloth rather than a bath.
Because your rabbit's teeth grow continuously, it's essential that you provide them with hard things to gnaw on to prevent their teeth from becoming too long. Certain types of wood, untreated wicker, apple twigs, toilet or paper towel rolls and cardboard boxes are some suggested items. You can find some great toys for your rabbits that help promote chewing at your local pet store or online at rabbit specific stores (avoid toys with sugary treats on them). These toys are also great to distract them from chewing on things they should not chew on.
Rabbit's nails should be clipped regularly to prevent discomfort and to decrease your risk of being scratched. Occasionally you will need to clean your rabbit’s scent glands. Ask your veterinarian to either show you how to trim your rabbit's nails and clean glands or have them do it for you.
Rabbits become sexually mature at ten to twelve weeks and females can become pregnant at any time because they have no heat cycle. Because of this, it’s especially important to spay or neuter your rabbit if it’s not already altered. Spaying and neutering not only helps reduce pet overpopulation, but also improves litter box habits, minimizes excessive chewing, and decreases territorial aggression.
Housing
Since rabbits are especially sensitive to heat, cold, and dampness, they need to live in a carefully controlled climate. The best way to ensure this is by keeping them inside your home. Within your household, they will need a place of their own for security and quiet time even if they have free roam of the house. Cages are also great for them to be used to for those times when it is safer for them to be in an enclosure.
Your rabbit's enclosure should be large enough for them to hop around, a place for a litter box, a cardboard box to hide in, a hay box, a place to hang their water bottle, and a place to stretch out. Cages with raised mesh floors should be avoided, as they are painful to your bunny’s paws and can cause injury.
Rabbits are very clean animals and like their environments to be clean too. You should clean your rabbit's cage every couple days – two to three times a week. Rabbits tend to use just one corner of their cage as their bathroom, so you'll want to put a litter box in a corner in order to facilitate litter box training. You may want to put a litter box outside your rabbit's cage, as well, for it to use when it has free run of the house.
You'll need to keep electrical cords out of reach or well covered to prevent electrocution, because a rabbit will try to chew through cords as they would chew roots to clear their den. You'll also want to keep your plants out of your rabbit's reach, and make sure they are not ingesting other dangerous materials in your house.
