Things to consider
- Please go straight home after adopting your rabbit
- We recommend that rabbits are kept indoors rather than in a hutch in the backyard
- Confine your new rabbit to its own space for at least a week to minimise the stress and confusion of being in a new home
- Your rabbit's booster vaccination is due 12 months after the first shot (after this, ask your vet about future vaccinations)
- Maintain monthly flea treatment
- Provide access to fresh and clean water at all times, preferably out of a dish rather than a sippy bottle
- Provide constant access to hay at all times – this is the predominant component of your rabbit's diet
- Feed a pelleted diet rather than a muesli mix – these are not good for your rabbit
- Ensure your rabbit gets fresh produce every day
- Make sure your rabbit has lots of toys and enrichment items – rabbits dig and chew naturally, so ensure they have enough ways to express this behaviour
- Ensure your house is bunny proofed!
- Keep your microchip details up to date
