It's time to broaden your mind and open your heart to rabbits as I believe rabbits will become the next mainstream pet, just like cats and dogs.
​
The reason is, that rabbits are becoming overbred and rabbit shelters are now struggling to keep up, if only more people would see the benefits of owning a rabbit or two.
​
This is the beginning, where you start your journey to being the best rabbit owner you can be, by following along with this page you have access to free advice and care instructions.

With the information, I gather from many different sources I aim to provide the answers to your questons.
Preparing for Rabbit Ownership
There are a number of things that you will need to know and get before you bring your new bunny or bunnies home.
I speak from experience when I say this, you will need to get the right food, enclosure, and lots of toys as bunnies need fun or they will chew everything out of boredom.
What you need to have before getting your new rabbit
​
Rabbit shopping list:
-
Large enclosure and exercise run
-
Rabbit carrier Playpen (for indoor or outdoor use)
-
Food and water bowls Food (including hay, grass, and good quality rabbit pellets)
-
Litter tray and suitable bedding (straw or shredded paper)
-
Brush or comb
-
Toys e.g. treat balls
-
Tunnels or lookout platforms
​
Some rabbits can be very messy and recommend training them to use a litter tray if you want to bring them inside for playtime with you and your family.
The Journey Home
This is an exciting time for both the rabbit and the family!
Prepare your carrier/cage for your bunny by adding a towel, some hay, pellets, and water especially if the ride home is expected to take some time.
You should also have a spare towel ready, as you can use it to safely catch and place your rabbit in the cage, then use it as a cover over the carrier/cage so the ride does not overwhelm it causing unnecessary stress.
​
The safer the bunny feels the more it will become happier with you and your family.
