Daily Care Checklist
Complete these essential tasks every day to keep your rabbit healthy and happy.
🐰 Essential Rabbit Care Knowledge
Diet is Everything
80% of a rabbit's diet should be high-quality hay. Fresh vegetables and limited pellets complete their nutritional needs. Proper diet prevents serious health issues like GI stasis.
Exercise Matters
Rabbits need minimum 4 hours of exercise daily outside their enclosure. They're athletic animals that require space to hop, run, and explore for physical and mental health.
Vet Care is Critical
Find a rabbit-savvy veterinarian BEFORE you need one. Rabbits hide illness well, so annual checkups and immediate attention to symptoms can be life-saving.
Cleanliness Counts
Daily litter box spot cleaning and weekly deep cleaning prevents health issues and odors. Rabbits are naturally clean animals and thrive in tidy environments.
⚠️ Common Care Mistakes to Avoid
Using a Wire-Bottom Cage
Wire floors cause painful sore hocks. Use solid flooring with soft bedding or fleece instead.
Feeding Too Many Pellets
Pellets should be limited to 1/4 cup per 5 lbs body weight. Overfeeding causes obesity and digestive issues.
Ignoring Dental Health
Rabbit teeth never stop growing. Without proper hay, teeth overgrow causing serious health problems.
Not Bunny-Proofing
Rabbits chew everything. Protect electrical cords, remove toxic plants, and secure areas they can access.
Bathing Your Rabbit
Rabbits clean themselves like cats. Baths cause extreme stress and can be dangerous. Spot-clean only when necessary.
Keeping Rabbits Outdoors
Outdoor rabbits face predators, extreme temperatures, and isolation. Rabbits are social and thrive as indoor companions.
