What to Know About Rabbit Care

Though rabbits can be pretty social, they prefer to be alone throughout the day, which makes them a great companion for individuals who work or spend the day away from home. Handling your rabbits is encouraged to help with taming, but be sure not to over-handle or handle too roughly.

Maintaining Your Rabbit's Enclosure

Invest in an appropriate hutch or enclosure that has two connecting compartments that allow for fresh air and natural light while also offering protection from predators and weather. Cover the enclosure with a layer of newspaper with either straw, hay or grass on top for comfort and warmth.

Caring for Your Rabbit Properly

Grooming your rabbit means using a firm brush to remove unwanted material like dead hair, tangles and garden matter from their fur, as well as checking their eyes, ears and nose for grass seeds. Checking your rabbit's rear-end daily helps to ensure the area is clean and dry, which can prevent flystrike.

Feeding and Nutritional Information

Many commercial rabbit foods offer too much fat and sugar content while simultaneously lacking in fibre. Because rabbits are herbivores, their diet should consist almost entirely of vegetables. Instead of commercial mixes, offer your bunny a diet consisting mostly of hay with endive or Asian greens on the side.
