Caring for dwarf rabbits will require a lot of effort from you, since they themselves are fragile and vulnerable creatures. If you are looking for complete information on caring for dwarf rabbits, then the following guide is for you.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Placement

1. 1 Buy a cage. Some allow rabbits to run freely around the house. However, this may not work for you. In any case, a cage is necessary. It will be a place where the rabbit can feel safe, where he will not be disturbed. The bottom of the cage can be plastic or wood, the wire mesh will cripple the rabbit's paws. The cage should be filled about 5 cm with a layer of litter. You can use Carefresh or old newspapers. The cage should have a toilet tray, a house, a bowl for food, a canopy, and a drinking bowl.
2. 2 Build an exercise arena. You can place it outdoors if your lawn is not fertilized and other animals are not running on it. Otherwise, you can set aside an enclosed area in your home for the rabbit to play. However, if you decide to equip a home arena for walking, then you should familiarize yourself with the information on how to secure the area for the rabbit.

Method 2 of 3: Feeding

1. 1 Give your rabbit some hay. Hay is the main ingredient in the rabbit's diet. Your rabbit should always have unlimited fresh hay.
2. 2 Give pellets. Choose a quality brand of rabbit food that doesn't contain too many grains or sugar. You should give about 1/4 cup of pellets (59 ml) per 2.3 kg rabbit. For rabbits over 7 weeks old, timothy hay is good.
3. 3 Give fresh fruits and vegetables. Give 2 cups of greens daily. Slices of carrots, apples, bananas, strawberries serve as an excellent treat for dwarf rabbits.

Method 3 of 3: Toys

1. 1 Buy hard plastic toys for kids or special rabbit toys. Not ones that should be gnawed on, but ones that are strong enough not to be gnawed into pieces, such as rattling toys suspended from the ceiling of a cage.
2. 2 Collect the cardboard tubes. You can stuff a cardboard toilet paper tube with hay, or just put it in the rabbit's cage and let him do whatever he wants with it. You can also give your rabbit a hiding place by taking a box, cutting off the bottom of it, and cutting openings for doors and windows.
3. 3 Prepare an egg filled with rice. The essence of the idea: take a plastic egg, fill with dry rice and glue the halves with hot glue. It's easy, and the rabbit will love chasing this egg. Just do not forget to take this toy at night, otherwise your favorite rabbit will wake you up with it!

Tips
