Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month: Tips To Care for Rabbits
Did you know that pet rabbits can live up to 10 years? It is true! Unfortunately, many people purchase pet rabbits during holidays such as Easter but then get rid of them after realizing they are not as simple to care for as previously thought. This July, celebrate Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month by learning how to care for these gentle creatures and consider adopting one yourself.
Tips To Care for Rabbits
In addition to always making sure your bunny has fresh hay, greens and water, there are some other top care tips to consider when bringing a rabbit home.
Visit Your Vet
If you have a dog or cat, you probably see a vet regularly for that pet, and you should do the same for your rabbit. Although they are smaller animals, rabbits still need consistent care from professionals.
Bunny-Proof Your Home
Take a look around your home. Do you see a lot of wires or otherwise dangerous situations for rabbits? If so, bunny-proof your living space before bringing home your new small pet.
Provide a Litter Box
Another smart option with pet rabbit care is using a litter box. If you provide a litter box from the very beginning, your rabbit will learn more easily. It makes cleaning and grooming much easier, too.
Keep in mind, bunnies are generally timid and gentle creatures, with occasional exceptions. Always practice patience and kindness when handling them.
Care for Rabbits All Year Long
Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month is an entire month dedicated to raising awareness about caring for and adopting rescued rabbits, but you can keep the spirit of day alive all year long by incorporating these tips into your regular bunny care routine.
Pet rabbits can be a lot of fun, but they also require special care. Schedule an appointment with Pet Hospitals of Hawaii to have a small-animal professional look over your furry friend.
