Domesticated bunnies do better living
indoors however you should bunny proof your home such as making sure there are no electrical cords in reach of your new bunny.
Keep house plants up high away from there reach. Make sure your bunny has the acceptable chewing toys so there not chewing
on your furniture. Your bunny should have plenty of fresh drinking water daily. Use alfalfa hay for bunnies under a year old,
and timothy hay for over a year old. Bunnies should be given pellets daily remember to keep one source of feed rabbits don't
like there pellets changed it can cause an upset stomach.They can be introduced to fresh vegetables very
slowly at 14 weeks old or older , too much can cause loose stools. Bunnies that live in cages must be let out for
a few hours to run around and get exercise. If your taking your bunny outside be sure your lawn isn't treated, and you must
stand watch of your bunny at all times there are many
predators that would come and kill your bunny! Most bunnies can be litter trained . Bunnies are very social and most can be
bonded with other bunnies Most important your bunny should have plenty of hay in its cage some use it for eating others
use it for eating and sleeping on make sure its cleaned out every couple of days they will poop and pee on it if there
not litter trained. Your bunny needs weekly combing and grooming find a peaceful place to sit and groom your bunny! Mini rex
bunnies don't need heavy combing and brushing use a damp clean cloth to wipe ther coats down without damaging it! Make
sure your bunny doesn't live near a heat source they don't like to be hot. Drafts aren't good as well there favorite temps
are 50 to 55 . I encourage everyone that's not breeding there bunny or showing there bunny to have it spayed
or neutered. Altered bunnies are healthier and live longer they also make better companions being calmer and less undesired
behavior is displayed. Remember bunnies are live animals and need to be cared for daily!The more you hold your bunny the friendlier
it becomes. Never yell at your rabbit for any reason! Never hit your rabbit! never handle your rabbit
rough
