Bunny Planning Guide
While waiting for your bunny to be ready for pick-up its a great time to plan for its arrival.
housing your bunnies
Housing:
You’ll want to set up a dedicated area in your home for your bunnies that includes both a secure kennel and space for play. For the kennel, I recommend using one similar to the options listed below. These have a wire bottom that keeps the rabbit separated from waste. You can also train your bunnies to use a litter box inside the kennel.
Beginner Kennel: This should be large enough for your bunny to move around comfortably, but small enough that you can easily reach in and pick it up. Until your bunny has adjusted, it may try to run from you. Starting with a smaller space helps you teach your bunny that your approach means gentle handling, feeding, and care.
Kennel: Once your bunny has adapted to you and its surroundings you can increase the size of its play area as well as let it free roam.

Daily feeding and watering
Your bunny will need a lot of water-fresh, clean water. I water in bowls. For feed, I provide my bunnies with Tucker Milling Non-GMO feed. I also offer Timothy Grass on occasion. I will provide you with a portion of the pellets to use as transitional food. I suggest bowls for water as bunnies will stay better hydrated.

Toys and Treats
Your baby has had toys in their cage and will enjoy having new ones from you. They love treats, however. I hold off until they are three months. Add new foods one at a time the same you would for a human baby.
Shopping list:
Must Haves: Every bun owner should keep these two items on-hand. Rabbits can get ear mites so be preventive and administer the Banish + Plus on a regular basis. Text Nancy Trammell to order: 770.653.6241.
