I love how some people take the questions so seriously on here!
Your rabs will be fine, just ask Santa to check on them at Christmas and see if Rudolph will donate them a few carrots.

It would possibly be alright but you would have to leave it ALOT of food and water, and if it is preg. then dont, rabbits tend to eat their babys, But all and all if it isnt preg it should be fine, It would more then likely be best to have someone watch it or take it with you, cause if u leave it home alone something could happine, but if you do, leave alot f food n water,
Hope this helps.
As with any pet, keeping a rabbit requires a commitment to care for it during its life which could be 5-10 years or longer. The commitment required includes not only routine feeding, care and time spent with the rabbit but also the provision of veterinary treatment if the rabbit becomes ill which can be costly. Although proper care will go a long way to ensuring that any rabbit remains happy and healthy there may still be times when prompt veterinary treatment is needed and once a rabbit is ill it can deteriorate quickly. However, some insurance companies do offer veterinary insurance cover for pet rabbits.
Rabbits should also be vaccinated against Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD) and Myxomatosis annually.
A common cause of death in female rabbits (does) is uterine cancer which can often spread to other organs before it is diagnosed. This can be prevented by spaying if the rabbit is not intended for breeding and is best done when the rabbit is between 6 months and 2 years of age.
Rabbits can be kept outside or indoors as they make good house pets, being easily litter trained. The decision as to where the rabbit is to be kept will affect the type of Cage or Hutch required for the rabbit.

NO THEY WILL NOT BE OK TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES !!! You need to be there to feed them & clean them & make sure they get exercise. Can you get family or friends to look after them while you go on holidays? You should have thought about this before you went out & got them. If you want to be off holidaying for long periods of time then you shouldn't have got them in the first place as it's not fair on them.

no he will probably die! No food, no water no clean hay/straw. Your bunny will end up with maggots living in the toilet area, then they will infest your bunny. If you catch it in time your vet will give you a large bill to clean him. If left to late, one dead bunny. Have you not got a neighbour who could help? Some pet shops offer holiday homes for rabbits, even vets? Try a bunny rescue.
You wouldnt leave a baby home alone till the new year, or would you?

I am unsure if you are joking or not, if you are not joking the answer is clearly NO! you are talking nearly a month on their own, someone said yes if you leave plenty of water and food, food they will probably pig themselves on and give themselves an upset tummy which can be dangerous for bunnies, water wont last that long if it does it will be stagnant also what happens when it freezes? someone needs to be there to give them fresh water and food daily, if you cant find anyone to help you will need to rethink your holiday plans.

If you leave your rabbits to look after themselves, is somebody coming in to feed and clean out their mess. Also, when you come back are you prepared to face many rabbits!! I know you are joking, but some people may think you are serious.

im guessing its a domesticated rabbit.NO, its not ok to leave rabbits alone, how will they feed themselves? you need to leave it with a friend that you can trust to feed and give water and also keep it clean.if no one will take your rabbit while you are away than ask your petshop if they could look after it for you, they will charge but not much. just please, what ever you do dont leave your rabbit on its own.

Definitely not. They need feeding and given water just like any other pet animal. They also need regular cleaning out. Find a friend or neighbour to help you on this. Otherwise you would be guilty of cruelty.
Have a nice Christmas.

No, they're not. You need to get a friend to come in and look after them while you're away, or to take them in for the duration -some peole are delighted to have a part-time pet like that, without the life-long responsibility.

Wild or domesticated? Latter I assume. And the answer is no, dear, you have to feed them, and give them fresh water every day and clean out their hutch at least once a week. You'll have to find someone reliable to do all that for you if you must go away for so long.
