Pellets give over 1/4th cup for smaller breeds, over 1/2 cup for larger
breeds in the am and pm. Depends on breed of bunny.
Timothy Hay a fistfull in the am and pm
Always make sure they have fresh water
Be careful to not feed them too many treats or too much food. Bunnies can get
diarrhea and that is one of their number 1 causes of death. Watch their poop.
If they look like they are getting diarrhea take them off pellets and feed them
hay. I will also feed them some celery to make sure they are getting enough
liquid, if they are not eating. If taking them off hay doesn’t turn their poop around, email me and
let me know what is going on and I will try to help.
A good natural treat is a little old fashioned oats!
Do not feed your bunny head lettuce. It causes diarrhea.
Common Questions
Do bunnies need a companion bunny? No that is
not necessary. Turn the
radio or tv on for the bunny when you are away. Have several toys (empty
boxes, etc.) for the bunny to play with. When you are home let the
bunny out to socialize with you.
Do bunnies need to be fixed? Honestly,
there are pros and cons each way.
Research to decide what you want to do. Since my bunnies do not get
fixed, I am not an expert on that subject.
Can you litter train bunnies? Yes, I have heard
from quite a few people that
have my bunnies that potty training them was not a problem. I do not
suggest cat litter. I have heard from some people that the bunny tries to eat
it.
They say since the bunny is already used to going in the cage they leave the
cage door open. When the bunny goes in the cage they verbally praise the
bunny and give the bunny a little treat. After some repetition, the bunny
learns it is a good thing to go in the cage. One lady also lays down some
pet urine pads around in case the bunny can't make it back to the cage.
