The Happy Heart Rabbitry

          Cages

For Small Breeds : 24x24

For Larger Breeds: 24x36

For Giant Breeds: 30x36

Try and get a cage with a pull out tray for easy cleaning. You can use newspaper, so the tray will not get dirty.

Feeder crocks. I like the ones that screw on, so the rabbit cannot tip it over.

Water bottle: The easiest one to get is one with a ball on the end. Some rabbits will not know how to use the one that take more of a biting action to get water out.

Timothy Hay: Give as much as they want a day.

Nail clippers: You want to do this as often as needed, so they will not get their nails caught on the bottom of the cage, which can be very painful.

Toys: They can have rabbit toys or even hard cat toys. They also enjoy toilet paper rolls and even little boxes that they can "hide" in.

Rabbit Pellets: Only give small breeds 1/2 cup

 When they are 6 months and under give them free-fed.

For larger breeds I give them a cup a day.

Vegetables & Fruit: Please do not give bunnies. There tummies are still really sensitive. When they are at least 4 months is when you can start introducing some to their diet. Only try one at a time, so you will know what agrees with them and what does not. I feed mine mainly Apples and Kale in small quanities, and I only do so once a week.

Brush: Any slicker or soft brush will do, pay extra attention to their back/bottoms.

Litter box: In the beginging stages of litter training a usually put 2 Small litter boxes in the cage, one on each side near the back. You can use newspaper, that is the safest thing to use. Do not use cat litter.
