Rabbits were born to chew!
In nature, their teeth wear down with use. Because their teeth continuously gro
w, they need constant gnawing to wear them down. To help ensure your pet’s dental health, you need to provide chewing material. When people think of Pet Dental Month, they always think about dogs and cats, but rabbits need attention paid to their oral health also.
Forti-Diet Crunch with Dental Bites is a complete bunny food that also promotes dental health. The grinding action of chewing Dental Bites helps control tooth growth and aids in the prevention of tartar buildup. Additionally the specifically formulated, fortified diet provides essential nutrients including Vitamin C for healthful nutrition.
Forti-Diet Crunch for Rabbits contains wholesome ingredients that provide essential nutrients to ensure proper growth and appearance while enhancing the health of pets. Starting with a blend of fresh palatable seeds, grains, and pellets, Forti-Diet is fortified with the essential nutrients.
Think “Dental Health Month” and then think “RabbitMart.com”

Keeping your rabbit’s cage clean and neat is essential for a healthy rabbit.
Generally, rabbits are clean animals and like to be in a clean environment. Your rabbit’s cage should be cleaned out at least every two to three days. It depends on the amount of waste your rabbit makes. If you notice that your rabbit produces a lot of waste, clean out the cage once every day.
Using a litter box is great for helping to keep the cage clean. Rabbits can be litter trained with a little effort and using a litter box makes clean-up much easier. Use a litter box, such as the Long John High Side Litter Pan, that is designed especially for small animals or rabbits.
When using a litter box, always use litter made for rabbits.
When cleaning up waste in your rabbit’s cage, use a litter scoop for removal. Litter scoops are designed to easily pick-up litter and make cleaning waste much easier.
After the waste has been removed, replace the litter with fresh litter if your rabbit uses a litter box and wipe the cage clean with warm soapy water.
Once the cage has been cleaned, you may want to give your rabbit some fresh water and some food or a treat. While you are cleaning out the cage, let your rabbit have some play time in the house or in an outdoor playpen to make the experience more enjoyable for your rabbit.

Got Rabbit? Get a Vet!
Regular vet visits are an extremely important part of keeping your bunny healthy. When you take your rabbit to the vet – be ready to answer questions about your rabbit’s daily habits, sleep habits, diet and overall living arrangements.
A rabbit pet is a herbivore.
A herbivore’s teeth are constantly growing and chewing Timothy hay helps to naturally wear down teeth. If your rabbit won’t eat – it’s time to let your vet know. If he or she is lethargic .. same same.
Make sure that your rabbit doesn’t get fat – this can be detrimental to his or her health, just like yours. Feed your rabbit healthy foods in the right proportions. A rabbit’s diet should be about 80% hay. Make sure your rabbit has enough water and give your rabbit pellets. Keep the treats to once-in-a-while and make sure that they are low in sugar and simple carbs.
Remember to always consult your veterinarian with questions about your rabbit’s health.

Keeping your indoor rabbit’s cage clean is an important responsibility for all rabbit owners. For the health of your rabbit, and for the health of your family, you will need to do certain types of cleaning daily, and other types weekly. Here is an outline of your responsibilities:
DAILY CLEANING: Daily cleaning is not as in depth as weekly cleaning. I recommend doing daily cleaning at night time. You will need to remove any food that should be refrigerated. This includes fruit and veggies. No need to throw them out, just keep them separate from people food and give it back to your rabbit in the morning. You also need to hand wash your rabbit’s food bowl and water bowl. If you use a water bottle style waterer, you do not need to wash it daily. If any pieces of hay have fallen from the hayrack, put them back. If anything else is out of place, put it back! Your rabbit will thank you.
WEEKLY CLEANING: This is a much more thorough cleaning than the daily cleaning. You will need to take everything out of your rabbits cage and completely disinfect it. Not only will this get rid of any odors that may be lingering, but not doing this can leave your rabbit susceptible to many health problems. You can never skip this. Use a disinfectant formula like the Clean Cage Deodorizer for Small Animals, pictured above. The formula of Clean Cage Deodorizer for Small Animals is non-toxic, so it is safe to use to clean your bunny’s cage and his food and water bowls. After thoroughly spraying the entire cage you will need to leave the solution on for 30 minutes. You want it to be able to fully penetrate for maximum sanitizing power. You will also want to soak your rabbit’s food and water bowls in this solution. After 30 minutes, you will thoroughly rinse of the Clean Cage Deodorizer for Small Animals from the cage and bowls with clean water. Let everything dry completely before putting your bunny and his cage accessories back into the cage.
Do not forget that you should never clean your rabbit’s litter box (or any other items that contain waste) in the kitchen sink. Always wash it in the bathroom sink or bathtub.
It is very important that your rabbit always has plenty of fresh hay at his disposal. Hay is the healthiest food your rabbit could possibly eat. Hay has tons of fiber which is great for your rabbit’s gastrointestinal track. It also is packed with tons of essential nutrients. Every type of grass hay is great for your rabbit (like Timothy, oat, and Bermuda). However, Alfalfa hay is not as healthy for your rabbit. This dark hay has too much calories and protein. Just remember that the lighter the hay, the healthier it will be for your bunny.
Loose hay is more natural and therefore healthier for rabbits compared to compressed cubes of hay. The only problem with loose hay is that it can cause a mess in your rabbit’s cage. You can easily give your rabbit hay without the mess if you have hay racks. Since hay is such an important aspect of your rabbit’s diet, it is VERY important that you have these hay racks. Hay racks keep loose hay contained. Another benefit to hay racks is that they keep hay clean because it prevents hay from being contaminated by waste that may be on your rabbit’s cage floor.
If you are looking for a classic metal hay rack, check out the Hay Manger with Salt Hanger for Small Animals. It is designed to hook onto the side of your rabbit’s cage, which ensures the hay will always stay clean. Also, the Hay Manger with Salt Hanger for Small Animals will keep the hay together and prevent it from making your rabbit’s cage messy. If your rabbit likes salt, this hay rack has a hook for salt.
A cute hay dispenser that my rabbit loves is the Rollin the Hay Dispenser for Small Animals, pictured above. The ball is 5.5 inches in diameter. It spins as your rabbit eats the hay, making hay eating a fun treat! You can use this hay rack for more than just rabbits. If you have chinchillas or guinea pigs, the Rollin the Hay Dispenser for Small Animals would be perfect for them.
