 On arrival home it is best to place the rabbit immediately in the prepared cage or hutch and leave it to investigate its new home and give it time to settle. It will take the rabbit a couple of days to get used to all the new smells and sounds of its new home and it may find this time a little stressful. Therefore although it can be tempting to get the rabbit out and play with it, this temptation is best avoided for the first couple of days so that the rabbit can first get used to its new surroundings and feel comfortable. This will help to keep its stress to a minimum.
After a couple of days the rabbit will have become used to its new home and will generally seem more settled and this is then the ideal time to start to get to know the rabbit better. |
