How To Look After Rabbits

Pets : Other Pets

Many people have pet rabbits, particuarly for young children. Here are some handy tips and hints in keeping rabbits as pets.

First of all it is a good idea to keep two of the same sex together, so that they have a playmate and don't feel too isolated as they may do if there is just the one of them. Of course ensure that they aren't likely to fight when buying them and if so just get one or keep the two apart.

Whether they are kept indoors or outdoors is basically down to the individual - you! Whichever you choose they will need some good quality bedding and of course it is essential that what you choose does not get wet as this is bad for the rabbits; you also want it to be warm and snuggly enough for them.

Also be sure that there is always some straw and food chippings in there to act as bedding and that it is secure from predators.

Give them a balanced diet, with a mix of things like rabbit food mix and hay or straw. Sometimes fresh vegetables are good too like a little lettuce or some carrots.

Also ensure that they always have water there for when they need it - like all creatures having water is essential.
