Took this bunny from a family member who had him living outside in cold Midwest winter. No hay for warmth and frozen water. First time rabbit owner, have two resident cats. Took him to the vet and clean bill of health. Any tips would be appreciated.
If you live in a place where it gets warm and hot. Always keep two water bottles that are frozen in the fridge and buy a single floor tile. Home Depot might sell single floor tiles if you say you are starting a home renovation project. Marble works best, since it stays cool. This helps your bunny keep cool in warm weather.
90% hay 8% fresh leaves (usually lettuce, romaine is a good choice) 2% sugary fruits and veg like carrots and banana. Get lots of carboard to tear apart. They can bw litter trained
Great job rescuing. Check out rabbit.org lots of resources to help.
Thank you!
Thanks for rescuing him from a chilly hutch! I’m sure others will elaborate more, but
You need hay, love, and the holy hand grenade of Antioch.
Unlimited hay, unlimited water (not frozen, WTF), enough space to hop and play, and places to hide - those are the most important first steps.
Hay, veggies/meadow plants, waterbowl, big space with spaces to hide and for the future if possible a fixed partner since they're social animals.
I second this and would suggest
