Provide a Suitable Habitat:
Choose a spacious cage or hutch for your rabbit. It should be at least 1.2 meters long, 60 cm wide, and 60 cm high.
Ensure the cage has space for your rabbit to move around comfortably, eat, drink, and use a litter tray.
Consider adding a playpen or fenced area for extra exercise.
Select the Right Cage:
Look for a rabbit-specific cage with a sturdy bottom and wire sides designed for rabbits.
Line the cage with soft materials like hay or recycled paper bedding.
Avoid wire bottoms, as they can harm your rabbit’s feet.
Feeding and Water:
Provide fresh hay (such as timothy hay) and fresh vegetables daily.
Avoid alfalfa hay due to its high calorie content.
Ensure a constant supply of clean water.
Social Interaction and Exercise:
Rabbits are social animals, so consider getting a companion for your rabbit.
Let your rabbit out of the cage for exercise and playtime. They love to explore!
Create a safe space indoors or in your yard for them to hop around.
Grooming and Hygiene:
Brush your rabbit regularly to prevent matting and remove loose fur.
Trim their nails when needed.
Keep their living area clean by changing bedding and cleaning the litter tray.
Remember that each rabbit is unique, so observe their behavior and adjust care accordingly. Enjoy your time with these delightful pets! 🐰
