1. Build the home around movement
Rabbits need enough room to hop, stretch, turn, hide, and toilet away from resting areas. Start with a roomy pen or safe room, add soft traction, and keep electrical cords and plants out of reach.
2. Make hay the default
Unlimited grass hay is the anchor for most adult rabbit diets. Pellets, greens, and treats should be measured and introduced thoughtfully so digestion stays steady.
3. Learn normal before trouble
Check hay interest, water, droppings, posture, and energy daily. A rabbit that stops eating or passing droppings needs urgent rabbit-savvy veterinary advice.
4. Interact at floor level
Most rabbits prefer choice-based contact over being picked up. Sit nearby, let the rabbit approach, and keep lifting low, supported, and practical.
