Instructions
Buy your rabbit an indoor, solid-floored rabbit cage. Mesh rabbit cages cause welts on a rabbit's feet. Rabbits require room to run and jump. Supply small rabbits with a medium-sized cage; larger rabbits require larger cages.
Give your rabbit toys meant for rabbits to chew to prevent your rabbit from chewing on your furniture or other household furnishings. Rabbits enjoy chewing up cardboard tubes and boxes.
Provide grass hay and rabbit pellet food to feed your rabbit; always have grass hay available in the rabbit's cage. Rabbits also require fresh leafy greens and clean water provided in a gravity water bottle or dish.
Take your rabbit to a veterinarian to have it spayed or neutered; animals that are not fixed can develop diseases and may be more aggressive. Rabbits will mate and produce offspring if housed with the opposite gender; irresponsible breeding causes pet overpopulation.
Line your litter box with newspaper and fill it with timothy hay; don't use alfalfa. Place the litter box in the corner your rabbit naturally uses as a toilet. Put droppings in the litter box to show the rabbit the purpose of the box
Play with your rabbit and spend time with it every day; rabbits are social animals.
Clean your rabbit's cage twice a week with warm, soapy water and replace the hay.
