Rabbits should have safe, indestructible toys and chew sticks to prevent boredom. Remove uneaten food and waste from the hutch each day and clean the hutch thoroughly at least three times a week. Rabbits kept indoors can learn to use a litter box. Male rabbits may fight with one another and even kill baby rabbits. Owners should house them individually.
Rabbits have sensitive digestive systems.
They do best when their diets consist mainly of high-quality commercial rabbit pellets. Supplement the main diet with hay or straw to provide fiber. Fiber helps prevent hairballs and other serious intestinal problems. Owners can also feed rabbits small amounts of bread, tender tree growths, and such fruits and vegetables as apples, cabbage, cauliflower, leaf lettuce, spinach, and turnips. Do not give your rabbit all the day's food at once.
