<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-35949"><strong>Small Pet Water Bottle</strong></a> by Sun Seed is designed to hold your rabbit&#8217;s water and helps to keep it clean.  This inexpensive water bottle is sold in a variety of sizes to meet your rabbit&#8217;s needs.  A great way to keep your rabbit feeling hydrated with cool water all day.  Get two or more bottles and alternate them in your rabbit&#8217;s cage.  It is a good idea to fill the bottle with water and store them in the refrigerator to help keep them cooler longer.  You may also want to store them in the freezer for a short time to cool the water quickly.  Just remember to remove the water before it freezes over.</li>
<li>Another great water bottle to use in your rabbit&#8217;s cage is the <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-25858"><strong>Clear Chewproof Bottle for Small Animals</strong></a> by Super Pet.  This water bottle is clear and allows you to easily see when it needs to be refilled.  This bottle may be also stored in the refrigerator to help keep the water cooler longer for your rabbit.</li>
<li>If your rabbit prefers to drink water from a <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-33628"><strong>bowl</strong> </a>or dish, you can keep the water feeling cooler by adding ice cubes and by placing it on top of a freezer pack.  If you decide to use a freezer pack, make sure that it is made of non-toxic materials and placed in a position that will make it hard for your rabbit to nibble on.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/timothyhay.php"><img class="alignright" title="Timothy Hay Bale " src="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/shop_image/product/a7670af3fc3b3c812e531da8cb937ba9.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="245" /></a>Rabbits needs to have hay in their diet every single day because it helps to keep them regular and has essential nutrients that rabbits need everyday.  Hay is high in fiber and is necessary for making digestion easier for your rabbit.  Rabbits are able to process the nutrients in hay by eating it first and excreting it in their droppings called cecotrope.  Cecotropes are made in the cecum.  Rabbits will then eat the cecotrope droppings to absorb all of the nutrients in the hay.  If your rabbit&#8217;s diet does not contain enough fiber and too many carbohydrates, then the cecum will make soft cecotropes that are difficult for your rabbit to eat.  Regardless of diet, if your rabbit is making soft cecotropes, it is best to have your rabbit checked out by a vetrinarian to make sure that low fiber is the cause of the problem.</p>
<p>To keep your rabbit feeling and looking healthy, here are some hay products that will help to keep your rabbit&#8217;s digestion running smoothly:</p>
<ul>
<li>For rabbits that are over 6 months old, first-cut Timothy hay is the best kind of hay for your rabbit.  <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-37628"><strong>Timothy hay</strong></a> is high in fiber and ideal for keeping your rabbit healthy.  First-cut hay is courser than second-cut hay, but if your rabbit is picky, he may not eat first-cut hay.  Regardless of the type of Timothy hay, it is very important that your rabbit eat hay everyday. </li>
<li>Give your rabbit loose hay if possible for your rabbit to munch on.  If you give your rabbit loose hay, it is a good idea put loose in a <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-16564"><strong>hay rack</strong></a> for your rabbit to nibble on as he pleases.</li>
<li>You can also offer your rabbit Timothy hay cubes, but they don&#8217;t offer as much fiber for your rabbit&#8217;s daily diet.  If your rabbit prefers <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-27281"><strong>hay cubes</strong></a>, give your rabbit a pellet food that is high in fiber to help supplement his diet.  </li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/rabbitcarriers.php"><img class="alignright" title="Tote Around Town Pet Carrier Bag" src="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/shop_image/product/9486b5c13752ecc08448ec1c2a34ada7.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="296" /></a>Travel season is quickly approaching and if you plan on traveling on the road with your pet rabbit this summer, there are some things to avoid when traveling to help ensure your rabbit&#8217;s health and safety.  Making sure that your rabbit is safe and happy when traveling is one of the most important things to remember when traveling this summer.  To make your trip more enjoyable for both you and your rabbit, here are some dangerous things to avoid when traveling:</p>
<ul>
<li>Whether you are traveling in a car, truck, SUV, or another type of vehicle, it is important to make sure that your rabbit is not left alone in a hot car.  During the summer, the temperature can quickly rise and can make your car feel like a hot oven.  Even a few minutes alone in a hot car can cause your rabbit to overheat and become sick and can even cause death.  For this reason, it is important to always take precautions not to leave your rabbit alone in the car when you make a stop.  If you have to make a stop and need to leave your vehicle, a soft rabbit carrier is ideal for carrying your rabbit around when you make a stop.   The <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-23871"><strong>Tote Around Town Pet Carrier Bag</strong></a> is a soft rabbit carrier that looks like an ordinary tote bag and is perfect for carrying your rabbit around when making a stop.</li>
<li>Regardless if you plan a short or long road trip with your rabbit, a small plastic carrier, such as <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-10637"><strong>Marchioro Skipper Pet Carrier</strong></a>, will help to keep your safe and comfortable in the vehicle.  It is not a good idea to use a cardboard box because it doesn&#8217;t provide good ventilation if the top is not open and can become soggy and messy from urine.   In addition, a travel bag is not a good idea for keeping your rabbit safe and comfortable in the vehicle.</li>
</ul>

<p>A water bottle is ideal for keeping water fresher and cleaner and helps prevent germs and bottle from getting into the water and making your rabbit sick.  The <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-21807"><strong>Emerald Tints Water Bottle</strong></a> by FM Browns is easy to keep clean and is transparent, which makes it easy to see when the bottle needs to be refilled.  The green tint helps to block UV rays from changing the quality of the water and the bottle may be attached to the wire cage or the wire side of the hutch to keep it off of the ground.  This bottle holds 32 ounces of water and provides water on demand.</p>
<p>A elevated pet dish is also ideal for helping to keep your rabbit&#8217;s food off of the floor.  The <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-50#addtocartthing"><strong>Pet Dish for Kennels</strong></a>easily clips onto the wire mesh and is available in three sizes to suit your rabbit&#8217;s needs at meal time.  It is great for holding pellet food or pieces of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Unclip the dish after your rabbit is finished eating for the day and wash it in warm water for use on the next day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/cages.php"><img class="alignright" title="Super Pet Large Welcome Home Hutch" src="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/shop_image/product/4d5ccd765f0c3b5e461bce009b9ced83.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="315" /></a>A <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/cages.php"><strong>wire rabbit cage</strong></a> is great for use with indoor rabbits.  Indoor rabbits need a place inside your home to call their own and use whenever you are away and can&#8217;t supervise them or they feel the need to be a safe and secure place for rest and relaxation.  Indoor rabbits don&#8217;t need the protection of a wooden hutch because they are not left outdoors to face all of the elements and the variety of wild animals outdoors.  Here are some tips to follow when choosing a wire cage for your rabbit:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Size of the cage:</em></strong>  Make sure that the wire cage is large enough for your rabbit to fit comfortably inside.  If your rabbit is young, plan on buying a larger wire cage for your rabbit to grow into.  The minimum size wire cage should be at about four times the size of the rabbit, so if your rabbit is going to be larger, you will want to choose a roomy wire cage.  You will also need to consider room for a variety of cage accessories and enough space for a litter area, a sleeping area, a feeding area, and a play area.  One of my favorite roomy wire rabbit cages is the <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-16336"><strong>Super Pet Large Welcome Home Hutch</strong></a> by Super Pet.  This wire cage has lots of room for your rabbit to roam and plenty of area for all of the rabbit accessories that you will need.</li>
<li><strong><em>Type  of flooring: </em></strong> Most cages have a wire floor that allows the waste to fall through and helps to keep the cage cleaning for your rabbit.  If you plan on litter training your rabbit, then choose a solid floor for the cage.  A solid floor is more comfortable for your rabbit and easier on the feet.  <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-17286"><strong>My First Home Extra-Large</strong></a> for Rabbits has a solid plastic base that is easy to clean and easy on your rabbit&#8217;s feet.</li>
<li><strong><em>Horizontal v. Vertical Space:</em></strong>  It is more important to choose a wire cage with lots of horizontal space than vertical space (four or more levels), since it is harder for rabbit to hop up steep ramps.  If you find a wire cage with lots of vertical space, make sure that the wire cage has ramps designed especially for rabbits to hop on and only a few levels.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-25840"><strong>Bunny Corner Litter Scoop for Small Animals</strong> </a>has a special angled head that is perfect for cleaning out corner litter boxes or picking up small animal debris around the cage or hutch.  You can also use this scoop to pick up food particles, dirty bedding and anything else that needs to be removed from your rabbit&#8217;s cage or hutch.</li>
<li>Similar to the Bunny Corner Litter Scoop is the <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-16071"><strong>Corner Litter Scoop for Ferrets</strong></a> and has angled shape that makes getting into a corner easy and makes waste removal easy.  This litter scoop is great for picking up waste in any type of litter.  It is made of stain and odor resistant plastic that is easy to clean.  This litter scoop is made for ferrets, but also works great in rabbit litter boxes and cleaning up the cage.</li>
<li>For cleaner larger rabbit cages or hutches, use the <a href="http://www.rabbitmart.com/shop/index.php?page=shop-flypage-16143"><strong>Marchioro Pala 11 Litter Scoop</strong></a>, which is a square shape and has smaller slots to pick up more debris.  Not only is this litter scoop great for cleaning out your rabbit&#8217;s litter box, but it is also ideal for cleaning out rabbit bedding, hay and more.  Wash the scoop in warm, soapy water to help keep it clean. </li>
</ul>
