How To Raise Rabbits?

Cute, fuzzy, fluffy, and hopping mad, who doesn’t love these adorable creatures, also known as bunnies? Rabbits are like little furballs who love to get cuddles. Did you know? Rabbits have their eyes placed at the sides of their heads so they can get an almost 360-degree view but their blind spot the placed right in front of their noses!

But cute as they may be, taking care of rabbits is equally important as rabbits may fall prone to diseases and predators. As health requires healthy food, the appropriate diet you should give to your rabbits is a daily diet of mostly hay, some green and leafy vegetables would be a treat, and a limited number of pellets. Hay is the most important part of a rabbit’s daily intake, and it should make up the bulk of a rabbit’s diet. However, you should never feed your rabbits chocolate as it is deadly.

Some diseases that your rabbit may transmit are Myxomatosis and RHD. Both diseases can be transmitted by flies. As prevention is better than cure, therefore, you must avoid flies and other biting parasites which can reduce the risk of disease in your rabbit. There are vaccinations such as Nobivac Myxo-RHD Plus to reduce the chances of death. During an outbreak, do not feed hay produced in the local area as it may be contaminated. Try to get an annual wellness checkup from your vet as they can examine their teeth and weight and other systems. If any problems are there in these areas your pet may face illnesses that are, otherwise, undetected.

Cleanliness is like a shield to protect you from diseases, so it is important to groom your rabbit. Firstly, brush your rabbit at least once a week, trim their nails accordingly, and lastly, do not bathe your rabbit as it can be traumatic for them and provide a shock for them. Before bringing in a rabbit first you must bunny proof your house. Make your rabbits comfortable and give them space and time to run and exercise. A pen for your rabbit should be big enough to stand upright, run and lie down. Make sure that it is not wire bottomed pen as rabbits may have sore paws. Since a clean environment is a safe environment, it is crucial to clean your rabbit’s cage and litter box once every week. Use white vinegar to clean your rabbit’s litter box, clean the food and water bowl and change the water and food daily. Change the soiled bedding daily. Use straw as it makes excellent bedding and is easy to change every day.

Before you go out to adopt a rabbit, you must know that rabbits need gentle care and attention. Rabbits are easy to raise and by following the simple tips mentioned above, you can have a blast with your rabbit and enjoy furry cuddles.

Maths! Maths! Maths! Do you Detest Maths? I Student Aaradhyey Jain I Speech and Drama Program In Jaipur

By admin in Public Speaking Through Applied Storytelling & Theatre, Public Speaking through Stories, Speech and Drama Based Personality Development for Teenagers, Speech Writing, Teenage Stories on August 16, 2022

An original speech on the current pedagogy, written by our student Aaradhyey Jain.

Aaradhyey is 10 years old young performer from Jaipur. He has written this speech as part of the Speech and Drama Curriculum under Not Just Tales. Drama and Sports are his passion. We are proud to have him as a student of the Speech and Drama Long Term Program, an Offline (Jaipur, Banipark Studio) Children Theatre & Speech Program under the mentorship of Trainer Khusshbo Chokhaani. We congratulate Aaradhyey for this exemplary true self-expression.

Maths! Maths! Maths! Do You Detest Maths?

Have you started detesting math till you reach grade 5 or 6? Well, I have! If you’re wondering that I have a low IQ, that’s not the case. If it was true then a whole 100 kids’ IQs would have been low because none of them understand it even the ones who top in every subject, and do well in extracurricular activities.

But do you expect me to learn this monstrous thing called math? Through the traditional rote learning modality where teachers wrote a sum on the board and asks students to copy and solve, not happening with me. I started detesting math because of this boring, uninteresting methodology of teaching. They just write the question on the board and explain how to do that particular sum and expect us to do all the 20 sums on our own.

Sometimes, I wonder, Why do they even teach these hard topics like Perimeter and Area, Operations on Whole Numbers, and Distributive Properties? Will they even help us in the future? Do you even think all 150 students in the same grade of a school will use this in the future? They portray that these terrible, horrendous, and tiring topics are a daily need or they will save our lives like swimming or cooking. Do all these sums have real-time applications? Not all 150 students will become engineers and scientists. Let’s make maths applicable in daily mundane lives at least.

This challenge associated with the methodologies and with the syllabus brings me to the solution that I as a student of Grade 5 and approximately 10 years old can offer to the problem. I feel the authorities should make the syllabus optional according to the child’s capacity. The other way could be to teach the sum through a story because storytelling is the best way to connect with humans that’s why you are listening to mine.  The third option is to play games. There is a popular snake and ladders games on the app store or play store to teach algebra in a fun and experiential manner. When fun ways to teach difficult concepts of maths exist then why don’t the teachers adopt them?

To sum up I will say make the syllabus flexible according to the aptitude of the students. Adopt a different methodology of teaching. Like storytelling or games. Please, Please, Please make classroom learning fun and experiential. So a capable, intelligent and terrific child like me doesn’t detest a subject like math. Let’s not mourn math but make it fun. What do you think?
