By: Nathalie Veilleux

Rabbits need a space of their own A pet rabbit need a cage and a quiet place to put it, like a spare bedroom for example. Just dont put it in the middle of the kitchen or the living room where all the noises are.A good size cage for a dwaft rabbit would be the 2x3 foot ones.They like to be away from loud tv,music, screaming childrens and so forth.


Rabbits need a good diet Bunnies in the wild eat grass and they need to eat often to keep their delicate digestive system moving.Give your rabbit Timothy hay at will and not more than a half of a cup ot Timothy based pellets everyday.They also love to eat fresh grass and dandelions leaves form the yard, spinach or celery. Go easy on carrots, apples and bananas because of their high sugar content.


Rabbits need toys to chew on Since their teeth just keep on growing, it is natural for rabbits to chew all the time.So make sure you give them plenty of toys to satisfied their need.Easy to find safe toys included: cardboard boxes, paper bags, old phone books, empty paper towel rolls, branches from fruit trees and more.It is important to give them toys to avoid teeth problems and boredom.A bored rabbit will start chewing on your property.
