When You Take Bunny Home

 

A Rabbit in the House-Now What?
Yes, you'll need a cage, and other hints for the new rabbit caretaker.

Supply List
Here's what you need to provide, inside and outside of Bunny's living area. Get everything you need at our "bunny supplies store."
Just Adopted?
Don't forget that you can visit our Bunny Supplies Store on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, to purchase everything you need for your new bunny. We have cages, folding pens, carriers, hay, CareFresh, pellets, toys, water crocks, and more! If you've just adopted, and it's not close to our 'open' day, contact us and we'll make arrangements to meet you at a convenient time. We have everything you need! Telephone 619-718-7777.


To Cage or Not to Cage
Get some good ideas for setting up your bunny's habitat. Have more than one bunny? We have great ideas for multiples, too!

Advantages of Pen Living
More and more, we recommend to our adopters that they house their rabbits in an "x-pen" environment inside their home.  The reasons for this are many, but the greatest is more room for bunny, while he's still safely confined. X-pens give you more room for your money, are flexible and easy to set up, easy to clean and portable.  You just can't beat 'em!

 

Bunny proofing Tips & Tricks
One of the most important things you must do before bringing a new rabbit home, is to "bunnyproof" your house. Here are some tips and tricks from rabbit owners who have figured out how to prevent damage from bunny's natural impulse to dig or chew.

Also, learn the basics of setting up a bunny-friendly litterbox, to ensure your bunny's successful litter box training.

 

Getting to Know Thumper
Learn how to get to know your new bunny friend and tips on communicating with shy bunnies or those who are not yet trusting of humans.
Rabbit Digs!
Digging and chewing are essential parts of your rabbit's physical and psychological well-being. Learn how to peacefully co-exist with your rabbit and their need to dig or chew.
