Tips for the beginner:

1. Read all you can about your specific breed of rabbit. Read books on basic care, diseases, prevention of illness and anything else you can find to help you with your new rabbit. Also talk to some breeders, get as much information as you can before you purchase the new rabbit.

2. Ask questions before you buy. Most breeders are very eager to answer any questions you may have and are helpful if you just ask.

3. Always handle your rabbits gently. They will become accustomed to you handling them and will enjoy it as much as you!

I am not a veterinarian, nor do I have veterinarian training. The information on these pages are from my own personal experiences or that of friends. And I wanted to pass it along since I found it so helpful in my rabbitry.


Rabbits need fresh water every day.

You should always feed fresh pellets every day

HEAT STROKE - Rabbits don't sweat or pant. They can only exchange heat through the blood vessels in their ears and can become overheated and die very easily.
Ways to cool them:
Take a 2 litre plastic bottle filled with water that has been frozen overnight and put it in your rabbits' cage when the temperature reaches 80 degrees or hotter. It will drop the air temperature around the rabbit considerably. Keep an extra on hand to use while one is re-freezing.
