newborn baby rabbit facts

If you are ever confronted with questions on baby bunny care-domestic, not wild rabbits-here are a few guidelines.

1. Although rabbits build nests, they are not chickens and, after initial preparation, will not sit on their nests. They also do not stay on or by the nests after the babies are born. This would attract the attention of predators. The babies burrow to the bottom of the nest where they remain hidden until Mamma Rabbit wakes them up at mealtime.
2. Only rarely does a mother rabbit nurse her young right after giving birth. Most often the first nursing will occur the night after the kindling. The rabbit's rich milk sustains the babies for 24 hours at a time. The preferred mealtime is between mid night and 5:00 a.m.
3. A mother rabbit does not lie down in the nest, as a cat would do, but stands over the babies to nurse them. She does, however, clean them and lick their bellies and bottoms to stimulate elimination in much the same way as a cat.
4. If you want definite proof that the babies are being cared for, check them early each morning. They should be warm and round-bellied. The best way to know for sure is to weigh them on a small postage scale or kitchen scale. Write down a description and the weight. If they're gaining weight (1/4 oz. or so), they're being fed.
5. You can handle the babies even if the mother doesn't know you. Domestic rabbits are not that concerned over human smells.
6. Rabbits are not prone to cannibalism, as many people think. Cannibalism is an occasional result of a stillborn litter, and this is nature's way of cleaning up the "mistake." The activity and noisy squeaking of healthy babies trigger the "maternal instincts."Only rarely does a mother rabbit truly abandon or ignore her babies. This may occur when a very Immature rabbit gives birth, In which case, she usually does not build a nest or make any preparations. Her milk production Is also delayed. Sometimes the babies can be hand fed for short time until the mother rabbit can take over the job. Again, their daily weight gain is the test of adequate nourishment. (If you must hand feed)
   
7. Generally a male rabbit is tolerant of young rabbits and, if neutered, can remain with his new family. The father will begin to nip and play roughly with the sons as they begin to reach puberty and start acting feisty. Then It's time for separation. A male rabbit must be neutered before being put back with the mother because she can conceive again immediately after giving birth. They should be kept separate for a minimum of two weeks after neutering.

Netherland Dwarf Rabbits

Mature Netherland Dwarfs should weigh two pounds, making them one of the smallest breed. They are dense, stout, with a round head and wide skull. Their head is set up high on their shoulders. Netherland Dwarfs have bright, bold eyes. Their ears, about two inches or less. Netherland Dwarfs come in a wide variety of colors. The solid colors are: black, chocolate, blue, lilac, blue-eyed white, and ruby-eyed white. The shaded colors are: sable point, Siamese sable, and Siamese smoke pearl. The agouti colors are: chestnut, chinchilla, lynx, opal, and squirrel. The tan patterns are: tan, otter, sable marten, silver, marten, and smoke pearl marten. Other colors are fawn, Himalayan (which can be black, chocolate, blue, or lilac), orange, steel, and tortoiseshell. A Netherland Dwarf will be disqualified from an American Rabbit Breeders Sanctioned competition if it is over two and a half pounds or if its ears are more than two and a half inches long.

Netherlands Dwarfs are generally quite active. Occasionally they can bite, like most rabbits, but the best way to prevent any rabbit from biting is to handle them very often at a young age. (Biting may be caused by hormonal impulses to protect their cage.)  It is recommended that you purchase a rabbit that is five months or older so that you are sure of the temperament. They are not usually mean, but sometimes the personality changes for the worse when they hit maturity. So if you get a young rabbit as a pet, consider spaying or neutering.

Bunnies enjoy toys such as hard balls, cardboard tubes, and boxes to entertain them during the time you are not with them. Most rabbits will use a litter box filled with a non-cedar or non-clumping litter. They need a high fiber commercial diet and enough hay. They also need an occasional brushing.

Breeding

When two "true dwarfs" (both buck and doe) are bred, the genetic pattern which makes them "true dwarfs" (Dwdw) ensures that a percentage of their offspring will inherent the lethal genetic combination DwDw. These offspring, often called "peanuts" by rabbit breeders, are destined to struggle with life for up to three weeks, and then to die. Reasons behind the death are unknown, but it is believed that peanuts have underdeveloped digestive tracts. The condition is 100% fatal, despite claims of some peanuts living to adulthood. Many ethical breeders humanely euthanize peanuts upon finding them soon after birth. Peanuts are easily distinguished from non-peanuts; they have extremely pinched hindquarters, a bulbous head, and their ears are often set further back than normal (sometimes almost onto the neck).

If two true dwarfs are bred, the statistical result will be 25% fatal 25% false, and 50% true. The actual numbers of true/false/peanuts in a real litter varies. "False Dwarfs" tend to have longer bodies, longer/larger ears, longer faces, and are often heavier than the 2.5 pound maximum weight for showing. While false dwarfs do not make good show rabbits, does from a good background are vital to a breeder's program. They have the same "good genes" as a true dwarf and are capable mothers, often having larger and more successful litters than true dwarfs. False dwarfs are easily judged for quality as the traits are generally the same, only bigger. Ear thickness/shape, fullness of hindquarter, topline, and other traits are the same.

It is common practice amongst Netherland Dwarf breeders to breed a proven show quality true dwarf buck to a quality false dwarf doe. This eliminates the chance of peanuts and yields quality offspring. The chances of false dwarfs is higher, but those offspring generally go toward breeding (some false dwarf bucks have proven themselves valuable to a breeding program) or are sold as pets.

NUZUL AL-QURAN

NUZUL AL-QURAN  

Sejarah al-Quran: Antara  peristiwa agung dalam sejarah umat Islam di bulan Ramadan ialah turunnya kitab suci al-Quran atau disebut Nuzul al-Quran. Ia dirakamkan dalam al-Quran, melalui firman Allah yang bermaksud: “Ramadan yang padanya diturunkan al-Quran, menjadi petunjuk bagi sekelian manusia, dan menjadi keterangan yang menjelaskan petunjuk dan menjelaskan perbezaan antara yang benar dan yang salah.” (Surah al-Baqarah, ayat 185) 

Peristiwa Nuzul al-Quran berlaku pada malam Jumaat, 17 Ramadan, di Gua Hira’ tahun ke-41 daripada keputeraan Nabi Muhammad saw.

Al-Quran merupakan mukjizat yang paling besar yang dikurniakan kepada Nabi saw. Kita hendaklah beriman dan mempercayai isi kandungan al-Quran. Beriman dengan al-Quran merupakan salah satu dalam Rukun Iman.
Erti Nuzul al-Quran: ‘Nuzul’ bererti turun atau berpindah, iaitu berpindah dari tempat sebelah atas ke tempat di sebelah bawah.‘Al-Quran’ pula bermaksud bacaan atau himpunan. Ia dikatakan sebagai bacaan kerana al-Quran itu untuk dibaca oleh manusia. Ia juga dikatakan himpunan kerana dalam al-Quran itu terhimpun ayat-ayat yang menjelaskan pelbagai perkara yang meliputi soal tauhid, ibadat, jinayat, muamalat, munakahat dan sebagainya.1

Nama-Nama Lain:

Selain disebut al-Quran, ia  juga disebut al-Kitab, al-Furqan, An-Nur, al-Zikr dan lain-lain. Proses Penurunan al-Quran: Al-Quran diturunkan beransur-ansur dalam masa 23 tahun.13 tahun di Makkah dan 10 tahun di Madinah. Kehebatan al-Quran:
1.         Allah berfirman yang bermaksud: “Katakanlah wahai Muhammad, sesungguhnya jika sekalian manusia dan jin berhimpun dengan tujuan hendak membuat dan mendatangkan sebanding dengan al-Quran ini, mereka tidak akan dapat membuat dan mendatangkan sebanding dengannya walaupun mereka bantu-membantu sesama sendiri.” (Surah al-Israa’, ayat 88)
2.         Orang yang membaca, menghafaz dan melihat sambil memikirkan keajaiban yang ada pada susunannya diberikan pahala.
3.         Al-Quran sumber hidayah bagi kebahagiaan hidup manusia di dunia dan di akhirat.
4.         Tidak sesiapa pun sama ada di kalangan manusia atau jin yang mampu mencipta  ayat yang menyerupai al-Quran. Firman Allah yang bermaksud: “ dan jika kamu merasa ragu-ragu dengan apa yang Kami turunkan kepada hamba Kami, bawalah satu surah yang seumpamanya, ajaklah saksi-saksi (penolong-penolong) kamu, selain Allah, sekiranya kamu (di kalangan) orang yang benar.”(al-Baqarah, ayat 23).
5.         Al-Quran merupakan mukjizat tertinggi dan teristimewa yang hanya dikurniakan kepada Nabi saw.
6.         Manusia belum mampu menyelami dan menerokai rahsia al-Quran secara menyeluruh sehingga hari ini. Ini bererti sifat kehebatan, kesaktian, keagungan dan keunggulan al-Quran secara tersendiri dengan pengertiannya yang amat luas dan mendalam  kekal terpelihara hingga kiamat.
7.         Al-Quran sebagai petunjuk jalan kebenaran. Membawa manusia daripada kegelapan kepada cahaya yang terang. Allah berfirman yang bermaksud: “Inilah Kitab yang tiada keraguan padanya, menjadi petunjuk kepada orang yang bertakwa.” (al-Baqarah, ayat 2)2 
8.         Membaca al-Quran mendapat ganjaran pahala dan syafaat daripada Allah. Rasulullah saw bersabda dengan maksud: ‘Bacalah al-Quran, sesungguhnya ia akan datang pada hari kiamat sebagai syafaat kepada pembacanya.”
  Tuntutan al-Quran: Sesungguhnya al-Quran mempunyai tiga hak yang wajib ke atas umat Islam untuk menunaikannya. 

1. Hak untuk membaca dan bertilawah kepadanya.
2. Hak untuk bertakbir atau memahami makna dan menjiwai kehidupan.
3. Hak untuk beramal dengan seluruh isi kandungannya.

   Peringatan: 

1. Al-Quran untuk dibaca buka dijadikan perhiasan.
2. Al-Quran tidak menjadi syifa’ (ubat) bagi orang yang ingkar dan zalim.
3. Al-Quran menjadi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang bertakwa.
4. Hati yang keras boleh dilembutkan dengan hidayah al-Quran dengan keizinan Allah.
5. Pesan Nabi saw: Aku tinggalkan dua perkara yang jika kamu berpegang kepada kedua-duannya, nescaya kamu tidak akan sesat selama-lamanya, iaitu Kitab Allah (al-Quran) dan Sunnahku (al-Hadis).

     Semoga Ramadan kali ini membawa rahmat buat kita semua. Amin.
