Health Care

When it comes to keeping bunny healthy and happy, there are really only a few basics you need to keep in mind.

It's very important is that you have your rabbit spayed or neutered. Doing so removes your female bunny's uterine cancer risk in addition to eliminating a whole host of other issues. It's also reduces, if not eliminates, urine spraying. Spaying and neutering can also make your life much more pleasant as altered bunnies are much, much easier to litter train.

Next, make sure that your bunny gets at least 4 hours of exercise each day. Exercise is important to your bunny's digestive tract in addition to his mental and physical heath. Be sure to provide your bunny with a safe exercise area that is free of electrical cords and other dangers.

Finally, you need to feed your rabbit properly. This includes unlimited timothy hay, a cup or so of leafy green vegetables at least three days a week and the proper amount of a high quality timothy pellets. Follow the label for the daily quantity based on your rabbit's weight. Make sure that you avoid the pellets that have alfalfa, seeds and fruit bits in them.
