Rabbits make delightful pets with their gentle demeanor and playful nature, but they require proper care to thrive in a domestic environment. Here’s a comprehensive guide to caring for your pet rabbit:
- Spacious Housing: Provide a large, well-ventilated cage or hutch with plenty of room for your rabbit to hop, stretch, and stand upright on its hind legs. Ensure the enclosure is protected from extreme temperatures and predators.
- Appropriate Diet: Offer your rabbit unlimited access to fresh hay, such as timothy or orchard grass, which is essential for dental health and proper digestion. Supplement their diet with fresh vegetables, leafy greens, and a small amount of high-quality rabbit pellets. Avoid feeding sugary or high-starch foods.
- Hygiene and Cleanliness: Regularly clean your rabbit’s living area, removing soiled bedding and feces to maintain a clean and odor-free environment. Provide a litter box filled with rabbit-safe litter for easy waste management.
