Rabbit Care Basics
· 3 min read
Hay, space and gentle handling for a healthy rabbit.
- Hay should make up most of the diet and be available all day.
- Offer a small measured portion of pellets and a handful of leafy greens.
- Rabbits need several hours of exercise outside the cage every day.
- Lift a rabbit by supporting the chest and hindquarters, never by the ears.
- Keep them cool in summer, as rabbits suffer in heat.
A rabbit that stops eating or passing droppings for half a day needs urgent veterinary care.
This article is general guidance and does not replace advice from a veterinarian who has examined your pet.
