In my city, they have this sort of a "black market" for animals. Dogs, fishes, rabbits, rodents, cats, birds and even turtles. Apparently, the sellers don't have the slightest idea about breeding. They keep the animals in 'cruel' cages, say in the case of puppies, they keep 4-5 puppies in a wire-made cage only a little bigger and wider than a foot.
So, I bought this rabbit out of pity. I want to buy them all but I don't have enough money for that and not enough time to spend taking care of more than one pet.
The vets here are basically inclined towards dogs and cats only! I have gone to the most famous veterinarians around and asked if they could tell the breed of my rabbit, they said it looks like a dwarf rabbit, others told me it's 'breedless', it's like a stray rabbit; local rabbit as what they coin it. They can't tell the breed and they don't have the food! I hate them.
I have searched for hay, they don't have hay in my city. I've checked some farmers' market, they do NOT have the hay I need and pellets only for chickens and fish... but NO pellets for rabbits. I have been feeding my rabbit veggies and fruits. No pellets since I bought it. As well as wild grass in lieu of hay.
Also, I feed it water spinach. It's called like that because it grows in swamps but since people have become accustomed to eating it, they have managed to make clean swamps where they could grow this plant. I am not sure if it is good for my rabbit but a lot of people and vets tell me it's what they usually feed their pet rabbits. At the moment, my rabbit is fine. It's healthy and no diarrhea whatsoever.
Here's a photo of the wild grass, the water spinach and a video of my rabbit. Please help. I need to know the breed of my rabbit as well as if the two food in its diet are healthy.
By the way, I also give romaine lettuce, tomatoes, eggplants, papayas, carrots, cabbage, okra, squash, string beans and jute. But not one too many. I alternate the giving of its food.
this is the grass: http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/oleksiy/oleksiy0905/oleksiy090500059/4906339-green-wild-grass.jpg
