Most pet stores sell rabbit cages that are tiny, so you'll either require to search for a bigger rabbit cage, or use a dog cage depending on the size of the area you have for your rabbit. Make sure that the cage either has a solid floor, or in the event you require to receive a cage with a wire floor, that you put something hard & flat down on top of the wire for the rabbit to stand on. Wire floored cages may cause sore hocks because of a rabbit's fragile feet.

Feeding is & a very important part of looking after your bunny rabbit. While it may be simplest to feed your bunny pellets, this is not the best rabbit diet.
