Pet rabbits are adorable, lovable animals brimming with personality. They can be playful and naughty or laid-back and quiet.
They are a wonderful indoor companion animal that need plenty of attention and care to be happy and healthy. Bunny care includes providing them with a secure, comfortable cage/run and unlimited access to food and water.
Rabbits are active animals and need several hours of exercise per day. Playing and running around their cage/run helps them maintain their muscle and bone strength as they grow older.
Their diet should be varied and balanced to help them stay healthy. Their daily meals should contain a mix of meat, vegetables, fruits and grains. They also need to have access to hay or grass for their fiber needs.
When bunnies are excited or happy they usually do something called a “boink,” which is when they jump into the air and spin, flicking their bodies. It’s an expression of excitement and may be accompanied by an occasional burst of urine or a flop on the floor.
Body language can tell you a lot about your pet bunny’s mood and how they feel about you. For example, if your rabbit nudges you, they’re trying to tell you something or to get your attention.
