    Give them something to gnaw on to keep their teeth in check. In the wild they gnaw on antlers to wear their teeth down.

    I adopted a Jersey Wooley 🐰 rabbit from a kill shelter to save its life. She didn't look happy sitting in a small wire cage. The shelter thought she was a female but didn't know she was pregnant. A Jersey Wooley is a mini rabbit, half, Angora and half, Netherland Dwarf. They stay small, about 3.5 pounds.

    CAGE FREE, TEMPORARY RABBIT HOME – BATHROOM – INDOOR ONLY

    At first, I set her up to free roam in my large bathroom. Monitor the temperature as needed, about a steady, 60 to 70 degrees.

    She had a soft, low pile carpet as a bed.

    She had a large, plastic hay box. Water. And a large, plastic, litter box, with paper towels on top and, chemical free, fragrance free, natural, shavings of bulk paper or untreated wood. She taught herself how to use a litter box. I cleaned the litter box daily with hot💧water. Twice a week, I added some cider vinegar to the hot water to clean the calcium build up in the litter box from urine.

    PREGNANT RABBIT GIVES BIRTH

    Six days later in the morning my bathtub was filled with fur and blood. I couldn't imagine how she got hurt, nothing in the bathroom to cause this.

    On closer look, I saw movement and thought her insides came out. I panicked, trying to save her life and discovered she was wasnt hurt, she gave birth to four kits. 🐇 🐇 🐇 🐇 I panicked. I had no idea she was pregnant when I adopted her and no idea what to do. Her babies were white, broken, silver, and black. The dad was likely a Havana, they all looked like that.

    Calling my vet. 🚑 and several others was a waste of time. No one had rabbit experience, nor kit experience. Worst advice I got from an uneducated vet tech was seperate babies from mom, they eat them. I asked the vet tech how kit babies survive in the wild and as pets if mom kills them, does what you say make sense? If thats true all bunnies would be extinct if no one hand fed them.

    My friend and I did online searches and came across a website, House Rabbit Society and Bunny Luv, in California. The experts called me back and walked me through the process. Their websites also tell you how to care for rabbits and kits.

    NESTING BOX FOR MOM AND BABIES

    I followed their advice, creating a NESTING BOX. 🗃 A mix of moms fur and clean, white, soft towels, or small, white, soft, baby blanket. No designs, no holes. Change bedding every day, it must be clean. Mom pulls out all her under fur as a nest and so she can nurse.

    INDOOR BEDROOM SET UP FOR MOM AND KITS

    Mom was great and knew how to care for her kits. I then transitioned a small bedroom to a permanent home for mom and babies. I had tile flooring on the floor. Their bedrooms were on one side, soft, low pile carpet. Vaccummed once a week. Wet vac cleaned once a month and let dry before putting back in. Replaced every 3 – 6 months.

    Baby plugs covering the electric outlets. No wires, nothing they can chew on that can harm and kill them.

    Their feeding and water station, and litter box, on the other side.

    The middle was their running and play room. An all natural, small wood castle with rooms and ramps to run around in and hide in. They require a lot of exercise daily by running in a large area, keeps the gut moving for digestion.

    RABBIT DIETS & KIT DIETS

    At about 2.5 months, mom started to wean her kits to solid food, alfalfa to six months old. And then transitioned to a rabbit diet.

    While nursing, mom was given about half alfalfa added to her daily diet.

    After that mom was back on oat hay, major daily, food source. Less alfalfa daily. And her daily dose of cold water rinsed, organic, dark green vegetables, 🥦 like baby boy choi, parsley, and romaine lettuce, dark leaves only. Moms treats were a very small finger tip size nibble of a carrot 🥕 and apple 🍎. This is bunny candy, not healthy food. And a small teaspoon tip of all natural, oatmeal, not cooked. Do not use instant oatmeal. A few sprinkles daily of oats n groats. This is the best and healthiest rabbit diet. Apple branches are natural chew sticks to help keep the teeth from overgrowing.

    Alfalfa is high in calcium and bunny urine will turn chalky.

    Critical Care by Oxbow, is recommended by exotic vets when rabbits are aging, ill, and injured and require a special diet.

    RABBIT TOYS

    I never found a toy my rabbits liked.

    RABBIT SEPERATION

    At four months old, males will fight each other, for territory, you have to seperate them. They spray or mark territory if not neutered. You also have to seperate males from females at this age, they start to mate and can get pregnant.

    That means you divide the room, for each male rabbit using plexiglass walls, and wood borders they slide in so they stand. Make sure they still see each other.

    VET CARE

    Exotic vets go to vet school longer and specialize in exotic pets and animals. Rabbits and kits are lagamorphs, classified as exotics. Their are many breeds of both, hares, wild rabbits. And, domestic, pet rabbits.

    They teach you how to care for your exotic vets.

    SPAY/NEUTER – EXOTIC VET

    I found a great, exotic vet. They were all spayed and neutered.

    RABBIT & KIT CARE.

    I recommend do research and taking classes from rabbit experts to see if a rabbit and you are a best fit, pet and parent for each other. They are expensive pets because exotic vets are specialized and charge more. And because rabbits are delicate and urgent care and emergencies, require immediate vet care, and are more expensive since they require specialized trratment.

    They are very delicate, not pets for children, and anyone not able to care for them. You pet them, but never pick them up if possible, only in an urgent or emergency, if nothing else works to get them to a vet or relocated to a new, indoor space.

    With proper care, and vet care, indoor rabbits live happy for about 10 years, sometimes more.

    No rabbit, should live in a cage, and outdoors, dangerous and deadly.

    BONDING/SOCIALIZATION

    I kept them all as indoor pets.

    Once spayed and neutered, you have to rebond rabbits and kits to each other. Seperated, and getting older, they forget they once lived together and loved each other naturally. I recommend classes from rabbit experts doing this. Done wrong they can fight for territory, harm, even kill each other. Done right, they fall in ❤ all over again.

    If you were petting them, then their already socialized to you.

    GROOMING

    They were groomed weekly by soft brusing with a baby brush or bunny brush. Their scent glands cleaned about once a month. Theres a cleaning product you use youll learn about from rabbit experts. Nails clipped with bunny clippers as needed. Ears cleaned as needed.

    Don't teach yourself, grooming, take classes from rabbit experts, you can hurt the rabbits if you do it wrong.

    Only one US company offers pet health insurance for exotics. Nationwide has a few affordable types of insurance plans. Cant believe how affordable they are. Discounts for multiple pets. Worth it, vet bills are very expensive. The veterinary world 🌎 isn't regulated they can charge what they want, even for prescriptions.

    I ❤ rabbits, their great pets for the right pet owner, very ❤, very social if socialized, correctly, have their own personalities, very smart, and funny.

    Adopt from shelters to save lives.
