10 Top Tips for Rabbit CareFor a Happy Healthy Bunny

1. Rabbits are Social

In the wild rabbits live in social groups, therefore where possible

always try to keep at least two rabbits together. Spayed and neutered is best

for compatibility and lack of baby bunnies!

2. Timothy Hay is Vital

Hay should make up a large percentage of your rabbits' diet.

This not only keeps their tummy healthy but also wears down

their teeth, which are constantly growing.

3. Diet

80% = Timothy Hay

10% = Quality pellets for rabbits

10% = Leafy greens, such as cabbage, broccoli and kale. Carrots and fruits such as apple should only be occasional treats as they are quite fattening

5. WaterIt is vital that rabbits have access to fresh water at all times.

6. Health CareMake sure your rabbit is vaccinated and neutered.

7. SpaceIf possible keep your rabbits as house bunnies, as this is the safer environment for them

Whether they live inside or outside always make sure your rabbits have a very large hutch, so that they can freely hop around and a large outside run. Both need to be predator proof

8. Toys

Rabbits are inquisitive, playful animals that need plenty of toys. Make sure they have throws, balls, wooden chew toys and of course they love tunnels to run through

9. AttentionThere are many abandoned bunnies because they do need time, care and attention

Feeding, cleaning, grooming, exercising and care all take time, money and effort

If you can, adopt a rabbit from a shelter, rather than purchasing one - they all need our love and there are all ages available

10. LoveRabbits need care, dedication and love. For more information on rabbit care:
