Tips of the Day!

How To Keep Your Rabbit Healthy?

1. Read up on how to feed a rabbit. Make sure your rabbit is eating the pellet but not too much. Don't feed your rabbit fruits or veggies before they are at least 3 months, and even then, slowly introduce them

2. Use a recycled paper bedding, such as Sunseed Bedding, but be careful. The bedding with larger pieces can cause harm to the rabbit because it can block the intestines. Change the cage at least once a week, and do spot cleaning when needed. Try to litter train your rabbit,as the cage would need to be changed less frequently.

3. Consider giving your rabbit a hut where he or she can feel safe and secure. Place a box or a tunnel so the rabbits can hide but make sure that the tunnel or the box is secure to rain and heat and make sure that your rabbits can get out of the box or the tunnel.

4. Take your rabbit out of it's cage to run in the house or in a room. Do this at least once everyday.

5. If your rabbit has runny eyes, nose or crusty ears bring it to the vet. Check the rabbit for any bumps, or sore areas and monitor the rabbit's behaviour. If the rabbit's behaviour changes dramatically, bring him/her to the vet.

-If you follow this guide you will have a healthy, happy rabbit, and a wonderful companion-
