Rabbit Care for Beginners
Learn how to keep your rabbit safe, happy, and healthy with this beginner-friendly guide covering food, housing, play, and grooming tips.
Feeding Your Rabbit
Rabbits need a diet based on fresh hay, which keeps their digestive system healthy. Add leafy greens like romaine, parsley, or cilantro daily. Limit pellets and avoid sugary treats.
Housing & Space
Provide a large pen or hutch with clean bedding. Rabbits need daily free-roam time in a safe area to hop and explore.
Play & Enrichment
Rabbits are curious animals. Provide tunnels, cardboard boxes, and chew toys to keep them entertained and prevent boredom.
Grooming
- Brush weekly (more during shedding).
- Check nails monthly and trim if needed.

Health Care
Look for steady eating, normal droppings, and active behavior. Loss of appetite or changes in droppings may mean illness – see a vet quickly.
