Rabbits tend to thrive on routine. The best way to encourage your rabbit to play with you is to have regularly scheduled playdates.  Rabbits are generally the most active early in the morning, so this might be a good time to play with them if you're able. If not, a lot of rabbits are also active towards nighttime. Be careful when initiating playtime. Rabbits prefer to be left alone when eating, using the litter box, grooming themselves, and sleeping. If you notice your rabbit engaging in these behaviors, let him finish before initiating play. However, it's a good idea to open your rabbit's cage or pen while he's engaging in these behaviors as this signals to him that it's time to play and he can leave the cage when he's ready. You want to make sure your rabbit feels safe and comfortable with you as a playmate. You should make sure they don't perceive you as a giant.  Try to get down on the rabbit's level. You can sit, crouch, or lie down on the floor. Allow the rabbit the option of sitting on your lap or interacting with you physically. Some rabbits are cuddly and become "lap rabbits" with time, but most prefer independence during playtime. Rabbits can be timid, especially at first. You should not push playtime or certain toys if your rabbit seems uninterested. Let the rabbit adjust at his own pace.  Do not engage in rough house with a rabbit the way you would with a cat or dog. Rabbits are naturally timid and this could easily result in your rabbit feeling frightened around you.  Greet your rabbit cheerfully before you open his cage, saying his name and something friendly like, "Good morning." This way, she will associate you with pleasantness and be more likely to want to interact.  Pet your rabbit while giving him other positive feedback, such as friendly verbal cues or treats. You want him to associate your touch with safety and happiness.

summary: Schedule regular play periods. Get down on the rabbit's level. Be patient.

Your pain should improve if you stay off your feet for 2 days. After 2 days, you shouldn’t rest for too long at once, as this could make your symptoms worse. Instead, get up and walk around every half hour.  Slow yourself down so that you don’t over-stress your back. Don’t bend or lift anything. If an activity is causing you pain, then you should avoid it. If your herniated disc is causing you pain, over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen, Advil, naproxen, or Motrin may relieve it. Use them sparingly and only if your doctor approves them.  If your pain is still severe, talk to your doctor about other pain relief options, such as prescription painkillers. If you’re having muscle spasms, your doctor may prescribe you muscle relaxers.  Since medications can cause long-term effects or result in dependence, you should use as little as possible to manage your symptoms. Your doctor can lower the swelling around your vertebrae and nerves with corticosteroids. They will inject them into the area around your herniated disc to relieve some of the pressure. Sometimes your doctor will be able to give you oral corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, but it isn’t as effective as an injection. Most people will see improvement in the weeks after beginning treatment. If you don’t, your doctor may recommend physical therapy. The physical therapist will teach you exercises to strengthen your lower back and core muscles. Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical procedure where the spine is stretched out to relieve pain. If you're interested in spinal decompression therapy, talk to your doctor or visit a trained chiropractor or osteopath. Studies on the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy are limited. Very few people who have a herniated disc will need surgery, but your doctor may recommend it if nothing else helps your symptoms. The doctor will remove the part of the disc that is protruding. In rare cases, the doctor may need to fuse your vertebrae together to keep them stable or may implant an artificial disc. After surgery, your doctor will likely recommend physical therapy. Back pain is no fun, but there are ways to manage the symptoms. You may not be able to get rid of it forever, but you can lower the amount of back pain you experience by giving your lower back some TLC.  Get a massage.  Do yoga. Visit a chiropractor. Get acupuncture.

summary: Rest for 1 to 2 days but not longer. Take NSAIDs to cope with pain. Ask your doctor about cortisone injections to reduce inflammation. Do physical therapy if your symptoms do not improve after a few weeks. Try spinal decompression therapy. Consider surgery if nothing else works. Manage your lower back pain.

Hair follicles produce natural oils that add shine and softness to your hair. Washing your hair repeatedly with harsh chemicals (such as those present in most shampoos) removes these oils. While these oils can build up and become greasy in appearance over time, washing your hair every day can also strip away the healthy oils. Try skipping a day or two between washes to help improve the look and feel of your hair.  If your hair is very fine or if you sweat a lot, then you should wash your hair every day.  Use dry shampoo between washes to keep your hair looking fresh and clean. People with fine and thin hair should wash their hair every other day while people with coarse or curly hair may only need to wash their hair once or twice a week. Conditioner can give you soft silky hair, so it is a good idea to leave a little on your strands. When you condition your hair, don’t rinse it for too long. Try to rinse your hair until most of the conditioner is out, but your hair still feels slick. This will help to ensure that your hair stays soft and silky all day.  You may also want to wring the excess water out of your hair before you apply conditioner. This will help to ensure that your hair soaks up as much conditioner as possible. For fine or thin hair, only apply conditioner to your strands. Do not apply it to your roots. Humectants are special ingredients that absorb moisture into your hair from the air and environment around you. Read the ingredients label of your hair styling products, and choose products that contain ingredients such as:  Glycerin Propylene glycol Butylene Glycol Dipropylene glycol Hexanediol  Honey Agave nectar Using blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can dry out your hair and create split ends. This dry, fragile, and broken hair will be difficult to smooth and appear dead and dull. Try using heating tools as little as possible, or avoid them altogether. Always let your hair air dry after you wash it.  If you must use a blower, flat iron, or curling iron, apply a leave-in conditioner or spray in a heat protectant first. This will help to protect your hair as you style it. Occasional use of heat products can make your hair feel soft and look great, but repeated use will damage the hair. If you do not trim your hair for a long time, then split ends can develop. Split ends can make your hair look damaged and dry. Take time at least once every three to four months to get a hair trim to help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
summary: Skip a day when you wash your hair. Leave some conditioner in your hair. Use styling products with humectants. Stay away from heat products. Trim off split ends.
