RABBITS: CARING FOR RABBITS: ROUTINE RABBIT CARE

Rabbit Cages And Equipment | Housing Rabbits | Preparing The Rabbit Cage or Hutch | Feeding Rabbits | Routine Rabbit Care | Handling Rabbits | Grooming Rabbits | Training Rabbits | Rabbit Health & Illnesses

The rabbit should be fed a basic rabbit diet each morning and evening and should also be fed fruit and/or vegetables. It should also have a plentiful supply of hay at all times.

Fresh water should always be available and Pet Shops also sell vitamin drops which can be added to water and these can be particularly beneficial to the growing and weak rabbits. The rabbit should never be without access to water.

Cage Cleaning

The cage or hutch should be cleaned weekly by removing the rabbit from the cage and throwing away all old woodshavings, hay and food and replacing with fresh shavings, hay and food.

Health Checks

When cleaning the cage the rabbit should be checked over for any signs of illness. This is an ideal time to check that the droppings in the cage look normal: soft droppings could indicate diarrhoea, lack of droppings could indicate constipation.

Vaccinations

Rabbits should be vaccinated once 6 weeks old against Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD) and Myxomatosis and thereafter annually.
