You should really know a number of things before you bring a new pet rabbit into your home. As well as a few supplies that you’re going to need to care for the new pet rabbit you can also go to your local library and check out some books on basic rabbit care and the supplies you’ll need.

Some of the supplies you will need are items like a cage to keep the rabbit in or a rabbit hutch. Which you use will depend on the breed but medium size to large rabbit breeds are better kept outdoors in rabbit hutches so they have a good deal of room to play around in.

You will need either a complete rabbit pellet or a mixture of a well-balanced diet for your rabbit. You will need some alfalfa hay or timothy hay for the rabbit daily. You may also must keep a variety of fresh green vegetables available to feed the new rabbit. Bedding, water bottle and feed bowl, a litter box and some rabbit safe bedding and litter is also required. You can also get some rabbit safe toys and rabbit blocks.

All the items listed above can be found at a local pet store or pet supply company. Once you have the items on the list set up the rabbit cage and become familiar with how everything works and how much food the rabbit will need daily. You want to be fully prepared to look after the rabbit and teach the younger children in the home how to look after the rabbit correctly.

Set up the cage or hutch and place the litter box within it. Then you can attach the water bottle to the cage, it will clip right on the wire of the cage or hutch. Then you will need to place some rabbit safe bedding on the cage floor. This’ll help in 2 ways, the bedding will keep the rabbits feet off the wire to help prevent sore feet and the bedding will absorb any pee while your rabbit learns to go to the litter box.

Try Cages For Critters for a huge variety of hutches including a state of the art covered rabbit run, double storey hutches and traditional hutches.
