EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR YOUR NEW RABBIT
Somewhere for them to sleep e.g. a hutch for an outdoor rabbit or a cage for an indoor rabbit (until house trained new rabbits should be kept in a secure cage whilst unsupervised). The hutch needs to be big enough for the rabbit you are getting, sometimes a larger housing area is needed as the rabbit grows.
Plenty of hay - this makes up the majority of a rabbits food source
Rabbit food - pellet food is better than a mixed food. Pellets prevent the rabbit from selecting favourite parts of the food and therefore not eating a balanced diet
Straw - this is great to use as bedding as it is warmer than hay and the rabbit will not eat it
Saw dust/cat litter - for the base of the toilet area in the hutch or the litter tray inside
Newspaper - to go underneath the saw dust/cat litter to act as another absorbable material
Tunnels and cardboard boxes to help prevent boredom when alone and provides something to chew on to help wear down teeth which continually grow and can cause serious problems if they become too long
Food bowl - nothing too deep so that the rabbit can easily reach its food
Water bowl/water bottle
A good disinfectant - to clean out the housing area
An outside run for the garden - it needs to be secure so that predators cannot get in and big enough so that the rabbit can have sufficient exercise
