Some people will say getting a bunny is hard work and that they won't learn anything and sit in a cage all day. No. It is a little work, but what animal isn't. Starting with feeding they need a good pellet and lots of alfa alfa hay or timothy hay. (alfa alfa is the best) They also need a variety of veggies, but make sure you look up what veggies you feed them because some are hard on their sensitive stomachs. Potty training is easy you need to let them run around and play alot, because they really are active playful animals, just buy a litter box and set them in it. If they don't immediately get the message set them in it when there is an accident. Now for punishment for digging and chewing don't use physical abuse it means absolutely nothing to them, and may actually scar them for life. And I find that spraying them with water isn't the key either. I use time-out and I don't mean cage time. Set the rabbit on its back and use your hand to hold them down on their upper stomach lower neck (not to much pressure) and they can not move, and they don't like it. they can't scratch, but keep in mind if you put your hand close to their mouth they can bite. (that's also a good position for nail clipping and shots.) If you're having alot of problems with chewing get them a wide variety of toys to distract them with that usually solves that problem or get a bitter spray from a pet store.I hope that helps, and here's a good website for info... good luck...

Do a lot of research, I did it all wrong when I was a kid and my bunny had to be put to sleep due to a tear duct problem that wouldn't clear up (despite being flushed twice under general anesthetic and daily medication). That was about 16 years ago. I am now preparing myself for bunny ownership again. And I aim to do it RIGHT this time!Join up to one or two of the MANY bunny keeping forums out there, these just plain didn't exist when I had my first rabbit!Will you be keeping rabbits inside or out? You need to research carefully with food, feed the wrong thing and you could end up with a very sick rabbit, stasis in particular, very easily! They only need an egg cup full of hard food a day! And need 24/7 access to hay, be careful what kind of hay you use, it shouldn't be rich sugary hay, that should only be a treat!Pick up a few concise books, not flimsy books meant for kids, proper books. I picked up the Rabbitlopedia, it has a very good section on everything that can go wrong with bunnies! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rabbitlopaedia-Complete-Gu...Yo u'll also need to find a good rabbit friendly vet, rabbits can live over 10 years and in that time you will need to go to get regular vaccinations and chances are the rabbit will have something wrong with it in that time too. Some vets aren't rabbit friendly, so do your research! Vets should NEVER scruff rabbits!On top of that insurance is handy, some bunny treatments can get VERY expensive, a lot of insurance companies WON'T cover dental work though!Basically, take a lot of time and do a lot of research before you get your rabbit. I've been planning and buying for about 2-3 months now. I have my 6x2x2 hutch (this is the minimum size) with a 6x4x2 run, and I'm working on a further 6x4x3 run extension before I get my rabbits - and I'm getting my pair (never keep a lone bunny!) from a rescue - that way I know they're bonded, vaccinated and neutered!...

First of all, the fine nutrition is the steady pellets as the bottom nutrition plus two cups minimal in keeping with bunny of vegetables, no cabbage, not anything watery, handiest parsley, a few carrots (prime in sugar), darkish leaf lettuce, kale, spinach, theses are the fine factor. an limitless give of timothy hay for them to devour to digest their meals could be very predominant. Do now not use pine or cedar shavings, those are dusty, you'll be cleaing the cage two times per week. It is effortless to littertrain a rabbit, you simply purchase a litterbox tremendous ample for the rabbit to sit down in and not using a lid on it, positioned a few shavings (aspen, no catlitter) and positioned timothy hay within the muddle field, this manner they cross at the muddle field, devour the hay and cross to the toilet instantly. In the leisure of the cage you'll be able to positioned a blanket down, then you definitely handiest have got to purchase shavings for the muddle field, so much less complicated. Make certain they've a few wooden chews or toys to bite to maintain their enamel trim. They want their nail trimmed at least one time a month. The cage will have to now not be in any drafty locations or now not instantly in daylight....

your gonna need a good size bunny cage, pellets for food, bedding, water bottle, and a food dish. don't forget to give him/ her some toys 🙂 there very simple animals but your gonna want to clean the cage everyday. or it could get very stinky. 😛 and make sure you give lots of fresh veggies and clean food and water everyday! they also like to go outside they make special rabbit harness and leash 🙂 and make sure and show him lots of love and you will have a great friend instead of just a pet =] Hope you get a bunny!...
