How to Care For Your Bunny

I currently have 12 bunnies (2 are pregnant also) and I know sometimes it's hard to know what to do to take care of your furry little friend.

1)You first need to make sure you are prepared to have a bunny. Can you afford it? Do you have time for them?

2) After deciding you are financially ready and have time (I'd say a bare minimum of 30 minutes daily so they don't get lonely) to take care of your rabbit you need to get a cage. You will need to do a little research on this. If you want an inside rabbit then you will need a cage with a closed bottom, while an outside rabbit would be more practical to have a chicken wire cage so you don't have to clean out the cage. If you choose a chicken wire cage you will either need to purchase one (you can email me if you are in Florida and I can make you one) or you will need to get the materials and make it yourself.

3) You will need to decide what type of rabbit will be best for you. If you are in 4H or FFA you will probably want purebred rabbits for fair, but if it's just a pet you may mostly be concerned with cuteness. Do your research to decide what would best fit what you want. All rabbits shown on this site are fair quality and are great pets.

4) Search local markets until you find the perfect rabbit, don't just settle for any rabbit because you won't be happy with it.

5) When you get your rabbit find one brand of food you feel is best for them. Stick with this brand, it is important to the rabbits health that they don't get their food switched. If you do decide to switch the brand of their food (like when they are first bought) you need to ask for 1/2 a weeks worth of food and then mix it with half a weeks worth of the new food, that way you end up with a mixture of 1/2 and 1/2 that will last a week. This will prevent sickness.

6) Make sure the bunny has somewhere to sleep, a bunny box is good. It doesn't need to be fancy, just in case it's cold/rains (if they're outside make sure you cover the cages with either water proof material or put them in a rabbit coop).

7) They will need hay. All rabbits need timothy hay, the long yellow hay. If you have a lion head they have to have alfalfa cubes (I think angoras need them too) and it is encouraged to give them to all rabbits because they do like them. Alfalfa cubes prevent fur balls from forming with long-furred rabbit breeds because they can't get rid of them so a fur ball can be deadly.

8) Now give your bunny a water bowl and make sure to play with them and check on their food, water and hay daily and you should have a happy, healthy rabbit for up to 8 years.

Babies this Morning

When I went out to feed and give them water this morning I took a bunch of pictures and a video of the 6 week old babies. There's 6 babies left and they're all so sweet and very curious.

Lionhead Bunnies

I still have lionheads available. There are 6 from one litter, and I also have a litter of lion heads and mini rexes due in the first week of June. Can check if males or females. They're 6 weeks old and sweet hearts.

Lionhead Bunnies

I have 7 lion head bunnies that are ready to go. They are four weeks old and sweet as could be. Have been handled since they were a week old. Are good with children, have already been handled with children as young as 4. They come in calico, albino, tan and tan and white. Can't tell gender until they are at least six weeks. Their mother is experienced and very good with them. The babies are all very healthy. I live in Citrus County, Florida and I will not ship them. I can meet you somewhere in the area or you can come here. Both parents are on the property and the babies are purebreds. 30 for one or 45 for two.
