Some rabbit advice


Never pick your rabbit up by its ears. Always control the body and legs of your bunny when picking him up...they usually will not struggle if they feel safe.
Never give your rabbit human treats such as chocolate, etc
Make sure your rabbit's cage is large enough for him to move about freely.
Your rabbit's cage should have a water bottle or dish, a food dish, a litter pan (unless he lives outdoors), and some toys to play with.
Make sure your rabbit has plenty of fresh water available at all times.
Rabbits love and need to chew, so make sure that a chew treat is provided to them.
Rabbits require lots of love and affection each day.
Apple tree branches can be eaten fresh off the tree, but avoid cherry, peach, apricot, plum and redwood branches for they are all toxic to your rabbit.
The best toy a rabbit can ask for is "you."
Time and patience are the two most important keys to bonding with your new pet rabbit.
Never leave your rabbit unprotected from predators.
Do not adopt a rabbit until it has been weaned from its mother...at least 8 weeks old.
A baby rabbit is called a kit.
A healthy rabbit will have a bright eyed expression and soft, shiny fur.
Your rabbit's cage should be cleaned regularly.
Don't place your rabbit's cage in excessive heat or cold.
Your bunny can...be taught to use a litter box...purr with its teeth...be trained to walk on a leash...jump up to approximately 3 feet high...be highly affectionate and loyal
The size of your rabbit will determine the amount of feed to give him.
Hay and veggies should make up the base of your rabbit's diet and pelleted rabbit feed should make up only a small portion of the diet. Avoid over feeding your bunny.
Offer your bunny fresh greens everyday (this can be fresh grass from your lawn as long as there are no pesticides present). Feed only dark leaf greens to your rabbit..."no lettuce."
