When your bunny comes home, everything is new for him and it is normal to be afraid. It therefore needs a corner where they feel secure and calm. The cage that best suits your needs must have a minimum size of 60 cm. x 40 cm. x 40 cm. so you can stretch out and join freely. Some of the owners, seeing them as small, buy smaller cages regardless of who will grow and will eventually be small.
In the bottom tray have to put organic absorbent material, for example, wood shavings, sawdust or sand corn pressing, in order to absorb urine and odors. To keep your home clean should remove wet areas daily in the urine and do a general cleaning at least once a week.
Everything in its place
Some learn to relieve himself in one place, so you can also try placing a tray with absorbent material type chosen in any specific area of the cage. Know that not everyone has this habit of going to clean the tray and takes some time to educate them. It is important never put cat litter, because they hurt the feet, as well as provoke serious respiratory problems. If you put newspaper, eat it. Moreover, the ink can be harmful, it is advisable that either placed at the bottom.
As for accessories, the trough and the trough are the most important. Regarding the former, the most appropriate is the drip, also known as 'drinking-tube' or 'bottle'. The feeder should be heavy so it can not tip it over while playing, spreading throughout the feed. There are pegs that are placed on the outside of the cage to put the hay; not occupy space and prevent it from spreading.
You can also put some wooden clamp that can gnaw and wear down teeth. Remember to enter your home in a rock salt or calcium and, if possible, a stand so you can take shelter from cold or excessive heat.
Problems with the heights
It is advisable to have a top opening cage because your rabbit may be damaged when trying to get in and out of it. In any case, if you have a cage with this kind of openness, should put a box inside and one outside so you can get in and out comfortably. In height, care should be taken that both the cage and the rabbit will not fall, because your friend could be seriously injured.
If it is necessary that your home is in height, put a box, ladder or ramp, so your pet can come and go safely. It is recommended that the cage is at ground level to avoid accidents. Also remember that should be in a ventilated but protected from drafts. In addition to the hygiene inside your new home, watch that has no flaws, as your rabbit could get hurt.
For greater autonomy
We collect here a short list of suggestions for your rabbit to fully enjoy your holiday home?
When you want to leave, open the door to do it alone. Not lame and goals in its cage by force or see this as their prison, not home. PersÃguele quietly and so shall be put inside to escape their 'tracker' (runs after him and to feel threatened will take shelter in their cage. As cree you want to play and will cost a bit to get it, but after a while you will get there) . If you've been petting your rabbit in her arms, you can take and leave the cage door to enter on their own feet, do not try to push it inside.
It is better to have food container near the entrance of the cage to avoid disturbing the rabbit to fill too. If not possible, you can take the food when the rabbit is not within. Obviously, clean the cage when the rabbit is not in it. They appreciate that they cleanse their cage and even curiosearán to see what you do. The same technique can be followed if your rabbit lives without cage and used a corner of the room as your home, although it is advisable to have a cage for your convenience and improved hygiene. Put a towel in the corner and try not to touch or walk over it.
Although your goal is to let the rabbit around the house freely, you should start small. Start leaving his cage open in a secure place (kitchen, bathroom, small spaces without wire, etc..) And when you see your pet is accustomed to that space, give it more gradually. If you give too much freedom of space before it is ready, you can forget where you have your tray and let the whole house full of feces and urine.
