Before bringing your new pet home you need to decide if you intend the bunny to be a house rabbit or live outdoors in a run in the yard. House rabbits are popular pets but there are a few factors to consider. While you will have to do more cleaning and training for a rabbit that lives indoors with you, you will not have as much social contact with a rabbit that lives outside. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside, you will need to rabbit-proof your house. Rabbits chew anything and everything, including electrical cables and the legs of your antique furniture. Make sure you are able to 'rabbit proof' your home so that cables are all tidied away out of reach of the rabbit, and there is no item that you would be upset if it got damaged by gnawing. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside you will also need to litter box train it. It is not hygienic to have the rabbit ranging around the house, pooping and peeing wherever they please. The solution is to litter train the rabbit to use a litter box. However, most rabbits poop mostly in one particular spot, so you can use this to your advantage by placing a litter tray in whichever spot they usually poop. If you have a male rabbit who is spraying urine everywhere, you may need to get him desexed. If you decide to keep your rabbit outside you will need to commit to spending time socializing it every day. Make it a part of your schedule, otherwise the rabbit may become anxious and fearful in your company. The hutch (or rabbit house) should be at least 2 feet (0.61m) wide and 4 feet long, and tall enough to let the rabbit stand up to its full height. The bottom of the cage should not be made of wire, but the sides can be. Outdoor hutches are most commonly made of wood with a door fitted at the front made of chicken wire. This allows for good ventilation and for the rabbit to see out. The wood offers a degree of thermal protection to insulate the rabbit from the elements, and is sturdy, protecting the rabbit from predators. An outdoor hutch will need to have a run attached to it, so that your rabbit can exercise. The run should be a minimum of 4 feet (1.2m) by 8 ft by 2ft tall, for a rabbit under 2kg. Many indoor hutches are made of plastic with a wire roof. This has the advantage of being lightweight, so you can move it around the house easily. If you can't find a hutch you like, make your own! It isn't as simple as buying one, but it can be much better for your rabbit. You must provide bedding that is soft, warm and absorbent. Cover the entire base to a minimum depth of 34 inches (7.610cm). This cushions the backs of the rabbit's hind legs, which are prone to pressure sores if not enough padding is provided. Commonly used substrates for bedding include wood chips, hay, or straw. Of these, straw is the warmest and softest and makes the best bedding material, hay is second best (and is more expensive than straw), and sawdust it third best. You will need to litter train your rabbit if you are keeping it inside. The litter tray will need to fit inside the hutch and not take up more than a third of the floor space.

Problem: Article: Your towel should be on your chest. Hold her against your chest with her feet towards your body. You can use blueberries, lettuce, or carrots, for instance. If you feed her a treat while you hold her, she'll come to associate your cuddles with good things. Use a soothing voice to talk to your guinea pig while you're holding her. It doesn't matter what you say, as long as you use a soothing voice. For instance, you can go into the bathroom with your guinea pig. Make sure there is nothing she can get into that she shouldn't (such as cleaning supplies). Also, make sure you cover any potential dangers, such as floor vents. Close the door. Place her on the floor, and let her run around. She'll enjoy exploring, and she'll also take some time getting to know you, too. If you want, sit on the floor with her. If you put her down every time she struggles, she learns that all she has to do is wiggle to get back in her cage. If you continue to hold her, she'll learn to stay calm. As your guinea pig sees the cage, she may want to jump, so keep a firm hold on her with both hands when placing her back in the cage. Wait to release her from your hand until she stops struggling. That way, she learns that she shouldn't squirm while you're holding her. Get your guinea pig out of her cage every day. That way, she'll slowly grow used to your attention over time and will eventually enjoy the cuddle time.
Summary:
Place the guinea pig against your chest. Feed her a treat. Talk to your guinea pig. Let her explore in a closed-off room. Do not put her down when she wiggles. Hold her firmly when returning her. Be consistent.
