The Guide To Pet Rabbits
By: Ella Templeton
Chapter 1: Is a bunny right for you
 The first thing to consider is that rabbits have a
long life span, so be prepared to care for your pet
rabbit through the long term. They are also
unique creatures, who form tight bonds with
their families, though they have some quirks you
should know about. They also require some
routine vet care from a good rabbit vet, and are
not low maintenance pets. If you are prepared for
all the unique qualities and needs of rabbits, you
will best be able to fully enjoy the wonderful
companionship they can offer.

Chapter 2: Choosing a healthy rabbit
 A fairly quick look at potential pet rabbit will
help you sort out if there are any obvious
signs of illness or other issues. While there are
no guarantees, avoiding rabbits that have
common signs of health problems can save
you a lot of heartache in the future. By having
a close look at a rabbit you are considering,
you also get a chance to see the personality of
the rabbit.
Chapter 3: Choosing a hutch
 Choosing the right kind of cage for your rabbit is
extremely important. Cages that are spacious
enough, easy to clean, and easy to for your rabbit
to get in and out of, will make sharing your home
with a rabbit so much easier. A cage that is large
enough is important for the well-being of your
pet rabbit, but is is no substitute for exercise and
social time out of the cage. Or you can build one
on your own! All you need is some wood and
chicken wire!
Chapter 4: Feeding your rabbit
 Even the best quality rabbit pellet is not
adequate on its own as a diet for pet rabbits.
Plenty of fresh grass hay is very important in a
rabbit's diet, as are fresh greens and
vegetables. The right diet is critical to keeping
pet rabbits healthy -- find out the scoop on
feeding your rabbit a well balanced and high
fiber diet.
Chapter 5: Toys for rabbits
 Rabbits are playful, active, and curious, and
need a good variety of toys to keep them
occupied (and out of trouble!).
Chapter 6: Training and Behavior
 Rabbits are really quite trainable, but it may
take some patience, especially when it comes
to litter training and redirecting very natural
behaviors like chewing and digging. The
following articles can help you understand
why your rabbits do the things they do, and
ways to train them to do some of the things
you want them to do
