Providing a Perfect Home For Your Pet Rabbit
Rabbits need a comfortable place to stay, whether they are kept indoors or outdoors.
Rabbit hutches can be purchased in a few different types and sizes.
You should find out how large your rabbit will grow before deciding on a rabbit hutch.
Dwarf varieties can be comfortably kept in smaller rabbit hutches, but you should make sure your rabbit's home is large enough for it to move around in.
You should also be ready with food, bedding, and a water bottle before you bring your rabbithome.
Rabbit pellet food is available from pet stores, and provides much of the nutrients that a rabbit needs.
It is important to read the instructions on the bag and follow the guidelines or consult a vet to find out how much you should feed your rabbit.
Younger, growing rabbits need more food.
You should put the food in a food dish so you can easily find out how much your rabbit is eating.
A poor appetite may be a sign of illness.
You can also feed your rabbit fresh greens and vegetables.
You should be careful with lettuces, because they can cause stomach upset.
Rabbits like carrots as well, but you shouldn't feed them too many starchy root vegetables.
Many rabbits like the green tops of carrots just as much as the carrot itself.
It is important that you always have fresh water available to your pets.
Water bottles are a convenient way to allow your rabbit easy access to the water.
They also tend to keep the water cleaner.
Water put in bowls or dishes can get contaminated by bacteria.
You should rinse out the water bottle and provide fresh water daily.
You should also carefully consider where you are going to place your rabbit hutch.
Rabbits can do well in a variety of temperatures, but they should always be protected from extreme weather conditions.
They can get overheated, so you should put outdoor rabbit hutches in a shady place.
Outdoor hutches should have at least one side completely covered, and a solid roof to protect them from wind, rain, and snow.
Even if there is a covered side to your rabbit hutch, you may want to buy or build the rabbit a wooden box for additional protection from the weather.
Indoor rabbit hutches should be out of direct sunlight and away from heating or air conditioning vents.
Rabbit hutches should be large enough for the rabbit, and they should protect the rabbit from the weather and potential predators.
They need to be cleaned often.
New food and water should be provided daily, and you should also consider chews and chewing toys for your rabbits, since their teeth are always growing.
If your rabbit is not fully grown, consult a pet store or vet to find out how large it may become as an adult.
You should also handle your rabbit often.
This will allow it to become more comfortable with humans, which will make it a more enjoyable pet.
