Consider having your rabbit spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering your rabbit will reduce spraying, improve litter box habits, lessen chewing behaviour, decrease territorial aggression and improve the life span of your pet. Have your rabbit neutered between the ages of 3.5 to 6 months, depending on sexual maturity, by a veterinarian specializing in small animals. Consult your vet for rabbits older than 2 years. Housing Rabbits may be kept indoors or outdoors under protective conditions.
Indoor rabbits can be house-trained to use a litter box.
Rabbits chew, so special care must be taken to protect furniture and to protect the rabbit from chewing electrical cords or hazardous materials. Outdoor rabbits must not be kept in a drafty or damp place nor in direct sunlight without access to shade. Putting a frozen plastic bottle of water in their sleeping area will help keep them cool. Rabbits need to be well protected from the weather. Very young rabbits need extra care to keep them from getting a chill in colder conditions.
