Get Set Up For A New Pet Rabbit
You really ought to know a few things before you bring a new pet rabbit into your family. 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 neighborhood library and check out some books on basic rabbit care and the supplies you’ll need.
Some of the supplies you’ll need are things like a cage to keep the rabbit in or a rabbit hutch. Which you use will depend upon the breed but medium to large rabbit breeds are better kept outdoors in rabbit hutches so they have a good deal of room to exercise and play.
You’ll need either a complete rabbit pellet or a mix of a well balanced regular diet for your rabbit. You will need some alfalfa hay or timothy hay for the rabbit daily. You may also need to keep a selection of fresh green vegetables on hand to feed the new rabbit. A rabbit safe food dish, a water bottle, rabbit safe litter, a litter box, and some rabbit safe bedding will also be needed. You can get some rabbit safe toys and chewing blocks.
All of the items mentioned above can be purchased at a local pet shop or pet supply company. Once you have the essentials on the list set up the rabbit cage and get to grips with how everything works and how much food the rabbit will need daily. You need to be fully prepared to care for the rabbit and teach the younger children in the home how to take care of the rabbit correctly.
If its a self assembly hutch set it up and put the litter box in inside. Then you can attach the water bottle to the cage, it’ll clip right on the wire of the cage or hutch. Then you need to place some rabbit safe bedding on the cage floor. This is going to help in two ways, the bedding will keep the rabbits feet off the wire to prevent sore feet and the bedding will absorb any rabbit pee while your rabbit learns to use the litter box.
