Some Items We Love:
*Avoid Kaytee brand because they market many unsafe products for Rabbits*
Always monitor to avoid ingestion.
- Xpen (at least 36” tall for most)
- Non-slip flooring to prevent injuries – padded is great for feet to help prevent sore hocks. Examples: Fleece, quilts, waterproof mats
*Monitor it is not being eaten/ingested - Hide cords, cover outlets, and bunny proof your home for safe free roaming and exercise time (at least a few hours a day)
Examples of cord protectors or strips. - Litter Box (no grates) that Your Bun Fits Well in With Space to Move Comfortably In. Under-bed storage containers work great as litter boxes as well. Options by Rabbit Size here.
- Litter: We love natural pine pellets which can be found in a horse section of a Fleet Farm/Tractor Supply Plus store at around $7 for 40 lbs.. We have found this reduces odor most and is cost effective.
- Heavy Bowl/Crock for water (NO bottles) because rabbits drink a lot of water.
- Quality Pellets, such as Oxbow *avoid anything with seeds/colored pieces/additives and read ingredients*
Examples & details based on age and size here. - Quality Timothy hay and a plan to store out of plastic and inside to prevent mold. Hay is essential for proper health and prevention of dental issues and will make up 80% of your rabbit’s diet. (Example: Oxbow). Details & Other Examples here.
- Brushes that are safe for delicate skin. Your rabbit will molt! Regular brushing is needed to prevent a blockage from too much ingestion of hair. Examples: Buster Comb and Small Comb *plastic tips*
- Nail Clipper
- Hidey hut/Tunnels to feel safe in (boxes work great!). We also love cardboard cat houses (no catnip).
- Enrichment Activities/Toys to provide Stimulation & Exercise. Rabbits naturally like to dig and forage! We love to feed daily pellet rations in toys/dig boxes.
- Pellet Dispensers or Balls for daily pellet ration
- Cardboard Scratchers / Houses *No catnip. Cardboard without much dye or tape with holes cut out work well, too.
