Important Information Before Adopting or Purchasing a Rabbit

Rabbits are long-lived companions, with an average lifespan of 8 to 12 years when properly cared for. They are not a cheap or easy pet for most households, and it's important to understand their needs before bringing one home.

Diet & Nutrition: Rabbits eat a lot! They require daily pellets, a constant supply of hay, and fresh produce. Proper diet is critical for their health and digestion.

Exercise & Environment: Rabbits need daily exercise outside of their enclosure in a bunny-proofed area - think similar to puppy-proofing a room. They will not be happy spending most of their time alone in a cage. Owners must spend time petting, handling, and bonding with their rabbit.

Spay/Neuter Benefits: Helps with bonding, prevents accidental litters, reduces health risks such as ovarian or testicular cancer. Supports litter box training and can reduce unwanted behaviors like biting or thumping.

Personality & Enrichment: Every rabbit has a unique personality, but all rabbits need enrichment to stay healthy and happy. Provide bunny-safe chew toys, tunnels, boxes, and other interactive items to help manage their constantly growing teeth and keep them mentally stimulated.

Veterinary Care: Rabbits should have yearly veterinary checkups, just like dogs and cats. If they have access to the outdoors, they should be on monthly flea/tick preventative.

Rabbits can be amazing, long-lived companions when cared for properly, but they are not right for everyone. They require thoughtful, committed care and should never be adopted impulsively.
