Instructions

    • 1

      Provide fresh water daily. Clean the rabbit's water source once a week.

    • 2

      Pick a good brand of commercial feed. Do not keep changing feeds as this may cause an upset stomach for your pet.

    • 3

      Feed once a day. Feed just enough feed for a 24-hour period. Mature bucks and dry does need 4 to 6 ounces of feed per day. Increase the amount given to a doe with a litter.

      Keep a salt spool in each hutch.
