Guide to Rabbits

Adequate housing is essential for your rabbit. Providing adequate housing will significantly decrease the risk of health problems and injuries to your rabbit. 


Ideally, your rabbit's housing should be designed with the following in mind:

Cage Size


If your bunny will spend most of its time in a cage, get the biggest cage that is practical for your home or outside area. As a general rule, the hutch for a single rabbit should be 2 feet x 4 feet for small or medium breeds and 4 feet x 6 feet for large or giant breeds.

Flooring


Solid flooring is best for your rabbit. This is because wire or wire-like flooring is not comfortable for your rabbit or good for its feet. Such flooring can result in bone deformities, pain and serious infections. Always ensure that the flooring is not slippery, and is rabbit-safe. Slippery floors can result in serious injuries, especially in multi-level rabbit enclosures.

Your rabbit's cage should be completely cleaned at least once a week. The best cleaning method is to use a soap-and-water mix, or white vinegar and water. 


Remember appropriate housing does not eliminate the need for rabbits to have exercise time outside of their housing.

Rabbits should be allowed at least several hours outside of their housing to run, jump, explore and interact with their family daily.

Why Chocolate Is Toxic For Your Pets?

Do you know that Chocolate is toxic to your pet?

Do not feed your pet any chocolate as it contains theobromine and caffeine - both toxic substances that interfere with the body's central nervous systems and affect the heart and kidneys. It could lead to seizures, coma, heart arrhythmia, hyperthermia, and ultimately, death.

Contact your vet immediately if your pet shows the following signs after chocolate consumption: vomitting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, increased urination and restlessness in the early stage; lack of coordination, muscle twitching, hyperactivity, increased heart rate or raised blood pressure warrant urgent medical attention.
