Pet Rabbit Supplies - What Should You Buy For Your Bunny

Trying to figure out which pet rabbit supplies you need can be difficult. There are many different types of toys, and gadgets all claiming to be something you absolutely need, when the truth is, that isn't the case. We'll look at some supplies that I recommend and hopefully you'll be able to walk away knowing you know just a little bit more about what is needed to raise your own pet rabbits.

Rabbit Cages:

There are two types of cages you can choose from depending on where you'll be keeping your furry friend. Indoor and outdoor cages are not the same, and you won't be able to simply cover an indoor cage when it starts to rain. If you plan to keep your bunnies outside be sure to get an outdoor cage. They are built to withstand the different things mother nature will throw at you.

For an indoor cage be sure to place a washable rug underneath. This is because bunnies can and will make a bit of a mess outside of the cage. As well, if the bottom of the cage is shallow then you'll need to be cleaning fairly often as the mess can build up very quickly. So try and choose a cage that fits your lifestyle.

Outdoor cages will need a more solid design and should be raised a fair bit. This will protect your rabbits from predators. Be sure to fill it with hay, and use a securely tied tarp during winter months or stormy nights for the best protection against the cold.

Rabbit Litter:

Did you know rabbits can be litter trained? It's true, and they're very easy to do so. However, unlike cats, rabbits require a specific type of litter box, one where they actually stand on wire over top of the litter itself. This prevents them from eating it, and getting sick. There are specialty rabbit litter boxes, so be sure to check your local pet store.

Pet Rabbit Feeding Supplies:

There are three basic options when it comes to feeding rabbits. Bowls, water bottles or feed systems. My personal choice is using bowls for feeding solid food, and bottles for water. Bowls are very easy to clean and rabbits have no problem eating out of them. As well, it's important to be sure to give your rabbits fresh water every day even if the bottle isn't empty.
