Expert Profile: Krystal Anderson

Expertise: I can answer questions about rabbit care, especially rabbit grooming, body language, training, and feeding. I don't breed rabbits, but I rescue and foster them, which may be helpful to some people who have questions about that. When I got my first rabbit, Couture, I spent months researching and reading all I could about rabbits and everything they do, including their relations to the wild rabbits you can still see today.

I don't condone rabbit breeding, especially for food, fur and pet stores, and cannot answer questions about that. I have also experimented with several brands of rabbit toys, foods and can give opinions on most products, good and bad. I know about lops the most, including special grooming and ear maintenance. One not very useful thing I can also answer questions about is rabbit history, and their involvement in human history, in case you've heard anything about it you want to make sure is true.

What I do MOST is examine the BEHAVIOR of rabbits. I relate it to breed, treatment, food, stress, and several other important factors in a rabbit's life. I have had the most experience with lops.

Remember to watch the HEAT! Summer is here and coneys don't like to be in over 80 degree weather!

Experience in the area
My friends and I adopt rabbits from shelters in Orange County (can you believe there is only one other rabbit rescue group here?) and find them homes with loving families. We know how a rabbit can completely affect a person's views on life and they are very loving and smart critters.

I also volunteer at local shelters and contact and help with the other rescue group where I live. I keep lops as companion animals and have gone through my share of emergency situations, especially as a new owner. I wish your rabbit a happy and healthy life like mine have had.

Organizations
RabbitRights, website coming soon. It sounds like an animal rights group, but the rights it talks about is the right to a home and to be treated kindly. Its just a group of teenagers now, but we are saving rabbits as I speak!

Education/Credentials
I'm 15, so you could say, 10th grade.

Awards and Honors
For rabbits? None, but I was Cheerleader of the Year!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I want to be the leader of a rabbit rescue team and run fundraisers, awareness events and adoption events. I would love to rescue rabbits and try to stop rabbit breeding because of the overpopulation that exists today.

What do you like about this subject? Rabbit mood swings! I love deciphering how he feels at the moment and seeing how what he did that day affected him! Sometimes you can't even tell, but rabbits are brilliant all the same in how human-like they are and how emotional they can be.
