Rabbit
Care Checklist


Rabbits make excellent pets. They are easy to care for and can be trained to use a litter box. Their cleanliness, nonagressive behavior, and quiet manner, make them increasingly popular house pets.

Rabbits are available in a variety of breeds. Some of these include Mini-Lop, Dutch, or Dwarf.

Following are some accessories you can provide for your new little pet that will make his/her life a happier and healthier one. Ask your sales person for the brands that best fit the needs of your rabbit. Your Petland Discounts representative can help you select the breed that is right for you.



_____Food
Specially formulated foods are available for the optimal nutrition of your rabbit. Most of these are pelleted. Timothy or Alfalfa hay is a necessary supplement to your rabbit's diet.

_____Treats
Special treats for the culinary enjoyment of your pet are available in a variety of flavors.

_____Salt Block
Salt is an essential mineral for your rabbit.

_____Vitamin Supplements
Liquid vitamin supplements help assure that all of the rabbit's nutritional requirements are fulfilled.

_____Skin/Coat Conditioner
Food supplements containing linoleic acid, aid in eliminating excessive scratching, dry skin, hair breakage (unseasonable shedding), while supplying essential fatty acids often missing in seed or chow diets.

_____Wood Blocks/Chews
Wood blocks aid in the satisfaction of a rabbit's chewing instinct. Small dog chews will often satisfy this urge as well.

Housing:
Rabbits can be housed indoors or outdoors.

_____Hutch
Outdoor rabbits must be put outside in the spring to allow time for them to adjust to the temperature and grow a winter coat. A large wooden hutch, high off of the ground and properly insulated from weather and predators is ideal.

_____Cage
A large wire cage is recommended for housing indoor rabbits. Although they can be litter box trained, they should never be left unsupervised.

_____Litter
There is a wide variety of litters that are available for your small animal's cleanliness and comfort. Ask your sales person for the type and size that best suits your pet's needs

_____Water Bottle/Holder
Ball tips on water bottles help prevent leakage, which can soak the bedding.

_____Weighted Bowl
This type of bowl for food eliminates excessive spillage.

_____Books
There are many books available that will give you information on the behavior, and care of your new small bunny.

Regular Veterinarian checkups are recommended for the future health of your pet.
