Rabbit Pets
Rabbits can make great pets, for kids and adults alike. We frequently have baby (8 weeks and up) bunnies as well as older grow outs that have great temperaments but don't fit with our breeding program. These rabbits can be a great fit for a pet or a 4H program. Each bunny comes with a bag of their existing food to help the transition (rabbits have very sensitive digestive tracts and any diet changes should be made very slowly), and, of course, any advice that you need!

Learning More About Rabbits
Knowing the basics about rabbit care is important. They have specific needs that are different from other small animals.
Housing: Pet rabbits can be kept in a large cage (avoid lots of wood, which is difficult to clean and will be chewed if accessible to) that allows them room to hop around, and prevents them from being in a wet or dirty environment. Rabbits can also be litter box trained, so many owners choose to bunny proof a pen or a room, providing the rabbit with more space, exercise, interaction and enrichment. Obviously rabbits can jump, so keep that in mind when building any containment! Bunnies are BIG chewers. Ensure that any housing, cage or otherwise, prevents your rabbit from being able to reach (or pull in!) anything that could cause them harm if they chewed or swallowed it. Think electrical cords, fabrics, inappropriate foods, hazardous chemicals, etc. Think very hard about this - prevention is much easier than treating a bunny that is injured or ill, or worse.
Food: Young rabbits do well with a higher protein food, but all rabbits should be fed a quality pellet that is designed to meet their nutritional needs. Rabbits do not do well with corn, so avoid food or treats that include corn. Because pellets are largely made of alfalfa hay, rabbits get all they need in a pellet and should not be fed additional alfalfa hay. They do benefit from free access to Timothy or grass hay, however.
