| Do some research on the different breeds of rabbits before buying. I do strongly recommend buying from a breeder rather than a pet store. Most likely, you'll pay about the same price if not less for a pet rabbit. You'll learn the history of your bunny and get some great advice from a good breeder. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions when picking out your rabbit. Remember it's okay to just go "visit" someone's rabbitry! If your wanting a rabbit for show, a breeder can help you pick out a "promising" rabbit. Remember when buying young rabbits, there is no guarantee that the pick of the litter will turn out to be a champ on the show table. You can locate local rabbit breeders by visiting the ARBA website or attend your county fair! |
| Before you buy a Bunny... |
| Purchase a good rabbit care book and read it before you go out shopping for your bunny. Better yet, use your library card and visit your local library. If you don't have time to browse the library shelves, most have their data base online for your easy access. You can reserve your choices at home and go pick them up from the front desk at your convenience. I have found a lot of great information from general rabbit care to the history of different breeds through the internet. Check out the Links page for recommended sites. |
| Make sure you have proper housing before you get your rabbit. Whatever type of housing you choose, must keep your rabbit clean, dry, safe from predators, protected from cold winds, and out of direct sunlight. Click here for a list of books with basic cage or hutch instrucions. |
| Your rabbit needs fresh air to stay healthy. Fresh food and water is a requirement. Water must be available at all times. Feed your bunny alfalfa pellets as their main diet. |
