✨NEW RABBIT OWNER CHECKLIST✨
For anyone who has reserved their baby rabbit today here are some of the things you’ll need before your new family member comes home😊. All products can be bought via Petstop, Maxizoo or Zooplus Online.
🥗FOOD🥗
- Pellets: Burgess Excel Mint 16 weeks+
- Hay: You don’t want anything that’s too dusty. Recommend brands: Friendly ReadiGrass Green, Real Nature & Fit+Fun Mountain Hay.
- Forage: You can make yourself by adding flower mix & nettle mix to hay.
- Treats: Recommend Excel or Nature Land Brunch (Pea Rings, Beetroot Rings etc.)
✨ACCESSORIES✨
- Water Bottle or Water Bowl: Most rabbits here are used to using a bowl.
- Food Bowl
- Hay Rack
- Litter Box: I’d highly recommend litter training your rabbit regardless if they’re free roam or in a hutch as it makes life so much easier when cleaning out hutches etc. and they pick it up super fast.
🛏️BEDDING🛏️
- Shavings
- Hay
- Litter: if you choose to litter box train I’d highly recommend Back 2 Nature’s small animal litter made with recycled paper.
🐰TOYS🐰
- Highly recommend Rosewood Brand for toys they can be bought in Petstop or Amazon.
- Tunnels & Hides are also super important to have as rabbits do like to hide etc.
A nail clippers will also be important to have as rabbits teeth and nails grown quickly and constantly. Having good toys & chews along with a good source of hay will help keep their teeth down but you will have to clip their nails or bring them to a professional to have them clipped if you don’t feel confident doing it.
