 Taking your new pet rabbit home for the first time can be a scary adventure for your rabbit. If you make the transition less traumatic for your rabbit, it will be easier for your rabbit to blend in quickly and easily with your family. Before you take your rabbit home, it is a good idea to prepare your home for your rabbit’s arrival and this will help to make the transition go more smoothly. Here are some tips for making your rabbit’s homecoming great for your rabbit:
- Before you pick up your new rabbit, it is a good idea to have your rabbit’s home and accessories already for your rabbit to enjoy. This will help to make your rabbit feel at home as soon as he or she enters the door. A starter kit for new rabbits is a great thing to get when you are picking up your first rabbit. The Tommy Rabbit Starter Kit has all the basics that you will need to care for and house your rabbit.
- The most important thing to purchase is a safe rabbit carrier to carry home your rabbit. It is important to choose one that is sturdy and made to last for many years like the Marchioro Skipper Pet Carrier by Marchioro.
- When traveling toward home, keep your rabbit close to you and talk softly in a comforting voice to reassure your rabbit that he or she will be safe and secure.
- Keep the noise to a minimum when on the way home and when you get home to allow your rabbit to peacefully enjoy his or her new surroundings.
- Take your rabbit directly home. Your rabbit is sure to nervous and making stops on the way home is going to add to the stress.
- Be sure to drive carefully on the way home and avoid driving on bumpy roads or driving around corners too fast. Your rabbit will not feel safe or comfortable if he or she loses his balance in the car.
Taking your rabbit home for the first time can be an exciting experience for you and a scary one for your rabbit. To make the experience more comfortable for your rabbit, it is a good idea to put your rabbit’s needs first. For all of your rabbit’s needs to help him live a great life, check out RabbitMart.

 If you plan on traveling this holiday season with your rabbit, it is important to follow some guidelines whether you are staying at a hotel or at a family member’s home.  By following these simple guidelines, your rabbit will be less stressed and feel more comfortable when staying in a new and strange enironment. To leave a great impression with your host or hotel staff, try following these simple tips:
- Bring a sturdy metal cage for your rabbit to stay in, especially when you are not around to supervise your rabbit, to help keep your rabbit contained and out of trouble. Depending on the size of your rabbit, choose a cage that is easy to transport and clean when on a trip. The My First Home Extra-Large for Rabbits & Ferrets is a great cage to use when traveling with your rabbit. It is a roomy cage that will not take up much space and is very easy to clean. Your rabbit will be safe and secure and won’t be able to run free and get into trouble.
- Don’t forget to bring the cleaning supplies for your rabbit. Nothing is worse than when your rabbit has an accident and you don’t have anything proper to clean up the mess with. It is always a good idea to bring a small amount of cleaning supplies with you to help deal with a variety of messes. Make sure that you bring plenty of paper towels and a cleaning solution to help clean up the mess. The Wee Wee Super Strength Stain and Odor Remover is available in a 16 oz. size and makes cleaning up the waste easy and quick.Â
- Take some toys and rabbit chews for entertainment. To help break up your rabbit cage boredom and to prevent him from chewing on furniture or other items, make sure that your rabbit has some toys to play with and some wood or mineral chews to nibble on for entertainment. The Bag-O-Chews Wood Chew Toys by Ware Mfg. are safe for your rabbit to chew and very entertaining. These wood chews may be placed on a treat kabob to help keep them off of the cage floor.

 Taking extra care of your rabbit with special needs is very important for helping your rabbit to live a long, healthy life. While this can be a big commitment for both you and your family, it is very rewarding to see your rabbit thrive and live a comfortable life. If you rabbit has a special medical condition or has become disabled due to an accident or old age, it is a good idea to access your rabbit’s current living conditions and look for ways to improve or make your rabbit’s life easier. For example, if your rabbit is having problems with his legs, consider all of the objects in his cage that make life more difficult. With fewer things to hop over or get to, your rabbit’s leg discomfort will be lessened. Here are some easy, general tips to follow to make your rabbit’s life more comfortable and enjoyable:
- Provide your rabbit with a soft, warm resting place for times when his in pain. A heated pad, such as the Small Animal Heated Pad and Cover, can make a great place for your rabbit to rest when in pain. This heated pad is thermostatically controlled to stay at a temperature that is perfect for your rabbit. The soothing heat helps to relieve any joint or muscle pain that your rabbit may have.
- Help your rabbit with all aspects of grooming. It is important to maintain your rabbits grooming to help prevent other problems from occurring.  Use a soft brush on your rabbit’s coat to help keep any tangles or mats from occurring and keep your rabbit’s nails trim with a rabbit clipper like the Super Nail Clipper for Small Pets by Super Pet to help prevent sores from developing.Â
- In addition, it is important to make sure that your rabbit’s food, water and litter box are all easily accessible. Choose items that are lower in height to avoid having your rabbit stretch or stand to get to them. If your rabbit is litter trained, use a litter box that has lower sides like the Long John Hi-Corner Litter Pan. This rabbit litter box is lower in the front and much easier for your rabbit to get in and out of, while the high back still helps to keep the litter inside.
Making little changes in your rabbit’s living conditions can make a big difference in your rabbit’s daily life. For more great rabbit products that will make your rabbit’s life easier, check out RabbitMart.

 Treat your rabbit to a walk in the crisp, fall air for a great bonding experience. Before you head out the door with your rabbit, it is best to use a soft rabbit carrier when taking your rabbit for a stroll around the neighborhood.  Soft rabbit carriers are available in a variety of styles and make the task of taking your rabbit anywhere easy, safe, and convenient.Â
If you are thinking about taking your rabbit for a walk around the neighborhood or at the park, the Pack-n-go Pet Carrier is ideal for you. This soft carrier is a backpack with a zippered animal compartment that is designed for keeping your rabbit safely on your back, while giving you the freedom to use your arms as you walk. The animal compartment has four windows to let the fresh air in and provides your pet with a great view of the surroundings. Your rabbit will feel safe tucked inside the backpack and out of the reach of other animals. It also includes a compartment below the animal compartment for storing water, treats, food, or anything else your rabbit may need on your trip.

 With the holiday season quickly approaching, it is a great time for you to give your rabbit a new food dish, carrier or hutch. Your rabbit will be happy to have something new and fun to play with and will greatly appreciate it. There are a lot of great products for your rabbit to make your rabbit happy and your life easier. Here are a few of my favorite items for rabbits:
For a fun alternative to the traditional feeding bowl, the Vege-T-Bowl Orange Carrot has a fun, carrot shape and is brightly colored to spice up your rabbit’s living space. It is made of durable ceramic that is easy to wash. The carrot shape is perfect for any rabbit who loves carrots and doesn’t take up much space in your rabbit’s cage or hutch. The Vege-T-Bowl Green Cabbage and the Vege-T-Bowl Orange Radish also make fun, colorful dishes for your pet rabbit. Both of these dishes are also made of ceramic and easy to clean.
When toting your rabbit around town, a great rabbit tote is a fun and stylish alternative to the traditional pet carrier. One of my favorite tote bags this season is the Tote Around Town Pet Carrier Bag by Sherpa Pet Group. This tote has a classic shape in black and makes toting around your rabbit easy and convenient.  The sides have mesh panels to provide your rabbit with great ventilation. In addition, this tote is lightweight to carry and has lots of pockets for storing all of your essentials.  It is constructed to be very durable and is made of nylon that is easy to clean.Â

 Even though rabbits can handle cold weather much better than hot weather, it is important to avoid illnesses to keep your rabbit comfortable and healthy all winter long. Whether your rabbit lives indoors or outdoors, it is a good idea to prevent your rabbit from becoming ill all winter long. The easiest way to prevent illness is by following these easy steps:
- Check your indoor or outdoor rabbit on a regular basis. It is important to spend some time with your rabbit on a daily basis, not only to help their mental well-being, but also to check on the status of her health. The Critter Care Message Center makes it easy to keep tabs on your rabbit and it is a friendly reminder for feedings and more.
- Keep the immune system healthy.  There are a variety of diseases that rabbits can get when their immunity is weak. Respiratory infections can become severe infections quickly, so it is very important to make sure that your rabbit has a healthy diet, such as the Vita-Vittles Rabbit Food, and stays away from sick rabbits if you have more than one rabbit. Take your rabbit to the vet right away if you notice her having any problems breathing, discharge from the eyes or the nose, sneezing, coughing, loss of appetite, lethargy and any other sign that indicates your rabbit might be in trouble.
- Clean the hutch regularly. It may be more difficult to clean your rabbit’s cage in the winter, but it is very important for you to continue keeping it clean. A dirty rabbit cage is a haven for a variety of bacteria and other organisms that cause illness. If your rabbit gets sick and you have more than one rabbit, you should keep her separated from your other rabbits to avoid spreading the infection. The Super Pet Clean Critter Wipes are great for a quick cleaning of your rabbit’s cage. If your rabbit becomes sick you will need to use disinfectant on a regular basis to help the spread of germs.
- Never treat your rabbit on your own. Always consult your vet first before giving any antibiotics or other types of medications. Some medications can be harmful to rabbits and make her condition worse.

 This Halloween season is a perfect time to give your rabbit a special treat that is made especially for rabbits. There are lots of fun treats for rabbits to enjoy that are safe for your rabbit to eat  in moderation. When giving your rabbit a treat, always give the treat in addition to your rabbit’s daily diet.  Here are some rabbit treats that are healthy and tasty for any rabbit:

- Another special treat for rabbit is the Vitakraft Nibble Rings. These little treats make a great reward for good behavior and are sure to get your rabbit’s attention. Rabbits love taste of the the alfalfa and oat flavors and this treat may be given in small doses.

 Rabbits need and enjoy exercise just like other animals need and enjoy exercise. Using a ball during playtime can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your rabbit. Exercising your rabbit with a ball is great for not only their physical health, but also their mental well-being. When choosing a ball for your rabbit, look for one that is made for rabbits or cats. In general, cat balls are also great toys for rabbits because of their size, but it is a good idea to look for balls that are chew resistant.
- Natural Fiber Ball Toys. Because rabbits love to chew, natural fiber balls make great ball toys for rabbits. The Rabbit Woven Grass Play Ball is a great toy for any rabbit owner. This toy is made of natural grass and is fun for your rabbit to roll around. Because this ball is made of untreated grass, it is safe for your rabbit to chew on. Another fun natural ball for your rabbit is the Nature Ball by Ware. This ball is made of sisal rope and is also great for your rabbit to chew.
- Rubber Ball Toys. Another type of ball that is a lot of fun to play with your rabbit is the Hol-ee Roller by JW Pet. This rubber ball is filled with holes that make it lightweight and easy for your rabbit to kick around and chase. The rubber material is soft and easy on your rabbit’s feet. When playing with this ball toy, be sure to supervise your rabbit at all times because this ball is not intended for chewing on.Â
- Alternative Ball Toys. For a different type of ball fun with your rabbit, the Run About Ball is a lot of fun for you and your rabbit. Place your rabbit inside of the ball and watch him hop around inside. This ball has a diameter of 7 inches and is made especially for small animals. If your rabbit is too large for the ball toy, then it is a good idea to let your rabbit just push it around from the outside. Another round shaped toy that is fun for any sized rabbit is the Roll N Chew Toy. Although this toy is not technically a ball, it is fun for your rabbit roll around and safe for your rabbit to chew.
