So this article is to proof the quality of rabbits i produce and to educate all my blog visitors to not get fooled by irresponsible people that cheats to sell whatever stock they have..   

RABBIT CARE

Does My Rabbit Need a Cage?

Your rabbit does not need a cage. However, an untrained rabbit probably should be kept in a home-base of some kind, like a pen, a cage, or some other protected housing, while you’re not home to supervise and at night when you sleep. Rabbits are crepuscular, which means that generally they sleep during the day and during the night but are ready to play at dawn and at twilight. Be sure to let them out during the evening when you are home, and if possible, in the morning while you get ready for work. However, once your rabbit is familiar with your home, once you know what your rabbit does, and once your house has been fully bunny proofed, there’s no reason that he or she can’t have run of your home even when you’re not there.

Is it OK to keep my rabbit in a cage with a wire floor?

Rabbits were not designed to live on wire floors–they’re hard on their feet (which have no pads like those of cats or dogs). If you must use a cage with a wire floor, you need to provide your rabbit with a resting board or rug for her to sit on, otherwise she will spend all of her time in her litterbox. But this is not idea.
You can find cages with slatted plastic floors, which are more comfortable, or you can use a solid floor. As long as your rabbit has a litterbox in the corner that he chooses as his bathroom, there shouldn’t be much of a mess to clean up.  But ex-pens or other types of situations are much easier to find, are roomier, and are friendlier for both your rabbit and yourself.

What size housing is best?

Bigger is better! A rabbit’s home should be at least 4-6 times the size of your bunny when he’s entirely stretched out–more if he is confined for a large amount of the day. Enclosure sizes also should be decided in conjunction with the amount of exercise time and space the rabbit has. One guideline to go by is at least 8 square feet of enclosure time combined with at least at least 24 square feet of exercise space, for 1-2 rabbits, in which the rabbit(s) can run and play at least 5 hours per day. You can build or buy your rabbit a two-story “condo” with the floors connected by a ramp–they love this!

Can my new bunny run loose 24 hours a day?

An untrained rabbit probably should be kept in an enclosure while you’re not home to supervise and at night when you sleep. Rabbits are crepuscular, which means that generally they sleep during the day and during the night but are ready to play at dawn and at twilight. Be sure to let them out during the evening when you are home, and if possible, in the morning while you get ready for work. However, once your rabbit is familiar with your home, once you know what your rabbit does, and once your house has been fully bunny proofed, there’s no reason that he or she can’t have run of your home even when you’re not there.

What can I do to make the rabbit’s enclosure time more enjoyable?

A rabbit’s home base should be seen as the rabbit’s “nest.” A special place where he can feel safe and secure. Make the nest enjoyable and she will enjoy being there, even when the door is open! Keep it stocked with baby toys, a synthetic sheepskin rug, a piece of wood attached to the inside (like a baseboard), and when you put him to bed at night, a nice veggie or fruit snack.

When is it OK to let a rabbit run loose in the house?

When your rabbit is better trained, and when your house (or the part that your rabbit will have access to) has been sufficiently bunny-proofed, your rabbit can be allowed free run of the home (or part of it) even when you are not home. The more room your rabbit has to run around in, the more delightful you will find her as a companion.
Even when a rabbit has a lot of room to run around, he may still get bored. A bored rabbit is often a naughty rabbit. If you don’t make every attempt to provide your rabbit with lots of entertainment, in the form of boxes, baskets, brooms, sticks, magazines, phone books, grass mats, etc., then he will make his own entertainment in your carpet, behind your couch or under your recliner.

Can I let my rabbit run loose outside?

Always supervise your rabbit when she’s outside. It takes just a few seconds for the neighbor’s dog to jump the fence and attack or frighten your rabbit to death.
Make sure that the grass has not been sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers. Check the yard for holes in the fence and poisonous plants.Under no circumstances should rabbits be left outside after dark. Predators are possums, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, dogs and occasionally cats. If you have an outside enclosure that you feel is very secure, a rabbit can still die of fright while a predator taunts the rabbit from outside.  

TIPS ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY RABBIT

1.Always be gentle and calm when you are around the rabbit, otherwise it might get scared.

2.Baby rabbits have hay as well as a special hay called alfalfa but don't feed it to your older rabits!

3.Rabbits need company and people to play with them. When you first get a rabbit leave it in its cage/hutch so it can get used to its home, don't approach it straight away and start playing with it because it hasn't really settled in yet and doesn't really know you and trust you yet.

4.To keep them cool on hot days place a frozen water bottle,or a cold tile, in their cage, but no ice packs as they can be poisonous to rabbits.

5.In a safe little fenced area get your bunny and play with it once it is adjusted to its cage/hutch, so it can get used to you and trust you.

6.If you want to introduce your rabbit to another pet, hold the other animal or keep it on a short lead. Bring the rabbit into the room, also on a lead (if you have one) or holding it. After a while bring them closer together. Repeat this until they are close enough to sniff. If its hate at first sight, it's best to keep them away from each other.

7.Make sure they always have something safe to chew on. This will wear down their teeth and prevents injury to the rabbit.

8.Always be nice to your rabbit. Yelling at it or punishing it won't help. Instead, reward good behavior.

9.If you just got a new rabbit approach it slowly and calmly so the rabbit won't get scared. Rabbits get scared very easy so you should speak before approaching. Rabbits can't see very well so speak at a low rate.

10.Rabbits need to have their nails trimmed every two months.

11.For the safety of your rabbit, if you're going to also have a cat and/or dog in your house you will need to keep them separated.

12.Big bunnies need free roam of the garden as well as a shed.

13.Wash him/her, clean his/her cage and make sure they have plenty of food and water.
If your bunny is shivering wrap him up in a warm blanket and stroke him but if he is still shaking just leave him alone.

14.You can buy rabbit harness and leads so you can take them for walks.

15.It's good to have lots of food like: carrots, lettuce, and other fresh vegetables.
