HOUSING

 

• Rabbits may be kept indoors, outdoors or a combination of the two, depending on your location and the season.
   
• A cage must have pine shavings or other suitable bedding (NOT CEDAR SHAVINGS) or in the case of a wire bottom which will  allow the feces to drop through onto newspaper, a tray.
   
• A litter box is optional, but rabbits are easily trained to use one.
   
• The cage or hutch must not be in direct sunlight ever! Sun MAY kill your rabbit!
   
• The cage SHOULD be in a draft free, protected area, but have adequate ventilation.
   
• A small HOME COULD BE BOUGHT AT MOST PET SUPPLY STORES.  this WILL BE GREAT TO MAKE YOUR RABBIT FEEL SAFE AND ALSO KEEP THEM WARM.
   
• A small piece of untreated wood OR WOODEN TOYS, ALSO AVAILABLE IN MOST PET SUPPLY STORES WILL HELP ENTERTAIN YOUR BUNNY AND HELP KEEP THEIR TEETH SHORT.
   
• kitten TOY BALLS (PLASTIC) WILL ALSO MAKE GREAT TOYS.
   
• for a happy, tame bunny - they will need plenty of out of cage time (play time). a run is a great way for your bunny to get exercise outdoors.
