IMPORTANT RABBIT FACTS:

 Life span: 9-12 years (possibly longer)

 Normal body temperature: 100.5-104 F

 Rabbits are herbivores, so their physiology is closer to a horse or cow than to dogs or cats. If you keep

the rabbit's digestive tract healthy, you keep the rabbit healthy.

 Rabbits are very social animals and in nature they live in groups. Like dogs and cats, they are

affectionate and bond with people; therefore they should be kept indoors as part of the family

 The rabbit’s natural instinct is to be close to the ground and have access to a safe hiding place; this is

because they are a prey species, which basically means that many other animals eat them. Thus it is not

safe for rabbits to be left unsupervised with a dog or cat, or allowed outdoors in an unsecured enclosure.

DO NOT USE CLUMPING LITTER OR LITTER WITH ADDITIVES! These are dangerous to bunny health.

Some bunnies will eat corn cob litter, which may cause a blockage.

Recommended Litters:

 Yesterday's News -recycled newspaper pellets soak up and hold urine well

 Carefresh - recycled newspaper pulp

 Aspen bedding (Pine and cedar have been proven to cause liver and lung problems in small mammals)

WHAT PET RABBITS SHOULD EAT:

Any time you decrease a food that your rabbit is eating, you must do it SLOWLY or he may get very sick. So if

you find you are feeding too much pellets, slowly decrease the amount over 1-2 MONTHS!
