Start with the essentials, then build confidence

Rabbits are gentle, clever animals with specific needs. A great daily routine starts with unlimited hay, safe housing, fresh water, suitable bedding, enrichment, calm handling and knowing when something is not quite right.

2 Make hay the main foodGood-quality hay supports digestion, keeps teeth worn down and should be available every day.
3 Provide toys and enrichmentSafe chew toys, tunnels and foraging opportunities keep rabbits mentally stimulated and prevent boredom.
4 Watch for small changesChanges in eating, poo, posture or energy can be important, so trust your instincts and seek vet advice when needed.
