Healthy Rabbit Care
Keeping a pet rabbit can be quite enjoyable, but just like any animal, rabbits require attentive care. Rabbits, like other pets, need adequate nutrition to stay healthy, thus it’s important to feed them a mixture of rabbit pellets, alfalfa supplements, and vegetables. Rabbit pellets are purchasable from most stores that sell rabbit and pet food, while alfalfa hay is available in bails or smaller quantities from farm suppliers. Rabbits will eat a number of different fruits and vegetables; some favorites often include carrots (of course) bananas, apples, and celery.
Rabbits also need regular exercise; they should be let out of their cage or pen often and be allowed to hop about. If you are indoors, keep an eye on them, because rabbits love to chew and dig at the floor. Outdoors, just make sure your rabbit is in an enclosed area; they’re curious creatures by nature and love to roam.
