Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: What Kind of Care Do Rabbits Need?

There are a number of different things that need
to be done in order to make sure that your pet
rabbit is as happy as possible. Many of us that
own rabbits as pets really enjoy the personality
that many of these unusual animals have. If we
take care of them properly, they will be healthy
and will provide us with years of companionship.
Here are several different ways that you can take
care of your rabbit to make sure that they are as
well-adjusted as possible.

One of the most important things for you to
consider is the type of housing that you're going
to give your pet rabbit. There is a bare minimum
of 2' x 2' x 4' that is necessary in order to
house your rabbit properly. Most people tend to
go a little bit larger than that, even though the
rabbit will not necessarily know the difference.
The type of material that is used for the rabbit
hutch is also something to consider, and you
would want to make sure to provide a solid
surface in order for them to have a comfortable
place to rest. Even though the majority of it can
be made out of wire, don't force them to stay on
the wire permanently.

Feeding your rabbit properly is also very
important, and there are a number of different
things for you to consider in this regard. Most
of the rabbit chow that is available commercially
is able to provide much of what your rabbit is
going to need, but you are going to have to
supplement their diet with fresh, raw vegetables.
It is especially important to provide your rabbit
with green, leafy vegetables on a daily basis.
Many people also feed their rabbits sprouts and
other vegetables as a treat and also because of
the energy that it will provide for them. Humans
can learn a lot from the way that rabbits eat.

As far as exercise is concerned, this is
something that every rabbit is going to need on a
daily basis. If you currently are keeping your
rabbit outdoors, it is important for you to
provide a large area that is enclosed completely
in order to avoid escape. Several hours a day is
a sufficient amount of exercise, and they will
surely enjoy even more if you are able to provide
it for them. Indoor rabbits may enjoy the run of
the home, but you might end up having to pick up
after them quite a bit in the process.

One final thing that you need to think about is
the grooming that your rabbit may need. A daily
brushing with a flea brush, is essential in order
to make sure that your rabbit's coat is as smooth
and critter free as possible. It is also a good
idea for you to regularly schedule visits with
your veterinarian and perhaps even take them for
a professional grooming from time to time. All of
these things combined can help to keep your
rabbit as healthy as possible.
