Habitat

Rabbits should have a safe and secure habitat away from direct sunlight and drafts. It is important your habitat has enough room for your rabbit to eat, sleep and play. Rabbits love extra room to roam so they will benefit from a play yard that is a safe and secure exercise area. Consider connecting multiple Kaytee® Open Living™ habitats to increase your pet’s living area. Your rabbit’s habitat should be cleaned at least once a week. 

Diet 

Rabbits are considered herbivores in nature, which means they primarily feed based on grasses and plants. AS household pets, make sure to feed diets high in fiber to support their overall health. Kaytee fortified foods are uniquely formulated to ensure your rabbit gets all the nutrients it needs to be healthy and happy. Kaytee treats are ideal for playtime and perfect for interacting and bonding with your pet rabbit. Also, make sure to provide fresh water daily and unlimited Timothy Hay!
