The regular-sized breed gave rise to the small satin rabbit. People were content with the typical satin bunny up to the 1980s. However, demand for a miniature-sized satin rabbit increased in the 1980s and 1990s. This breed was initially only approved if it was entirely white. Mini satin bunnies are now available in a range of colors.
As Pet/ In Captivity
Behavior and Temperament
These playful tiny bunnies like hopping and playing. They should always be watched while spending time outside of their caged environment because they are curious and will nibble on almost anything placed in front of them. Similar to cats, mini satin rabbits are simple to housebreak, which means their environments typically stay tidy and just need to be changed once or twice a week.
They enjoy the companionship of both humans and other rabbits, but they do not need to coexist with them in order to be happy. These adorable creatures love to play with toys and are constantly eager to discover new things. These are intelligent bunnies that can be taught to perform tasks like responding to their name and even completing an agility course!
Housing
The housing for this rabbit should be constructed of wire to ensure complete airflow. Your rabbit should be able to hop three times from one end of the cage to the other without feeling cramped. It ought to provide adequate room in the layout for a litter box, food, water, and toys.
Eat and Drink
Hay and grass are the main foods for little satin rabbits. To make feeding easier, pet stores provide pellets composed of hay and grasses. Pellets or hay from bales should make up at least 70% of your rabbit’s diet. Fresh vegetables like carrots, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower should make up the remainder of their daily diet. You can also provide a modest amount of fruit, such as bananas, strawberries, and melon, once or twice per week.
Purchasing/Price
Depending on where you get one, mini satin bunnies can cost anywhere from $50 to $150. When purchasing one of these rabbits, it is crucial to deal with a reputable breeder or pet shop. Backyard breeders may sell their bunnies for less money, but in order to maximize earnings, they are infamous for skimping on animal care.
