Rabbit Care 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Bringing One Home
Rabbits are affectionate, curious, and intelligent pets—but they require proper care and attention. If you’re thinking about welcoming a bunny into your home, here’s what you need to know.
🏡 Housing
Rabbits need plenty of space to hop and play. A spacious indoor pen or bunny-proofed room is ideal. Avoid keeping them in small cages for long hours.
🥦 Diet
A healthy rabbit diet consists of:
- Unlimited fresh hay (timothy or orchard)
- A measured amount of high-quality pellets
- Fresh veggies (like romaine lettuce, carrots, parsley)
- Fresh water daily
🧸 Enrichment & Play
Bunnies are playful! Provide chew toys, tunnels, and time outside the cage for exercise. They love exploring and interacting.
🩺 Health & Grooming
Rabbits need regular grooming and nail trims. Watch for signs of illness like lack of appetite, lethargy, or unusual droppings.
With love, space, and proper care, rabbits can be wonderful, loyal companions. They thrive in homes that understand their needs and enjoy their gentle charm.
