What do You Need When You Bring Home a Rabbit?

Hi, how are you today? Welcome to our blog about Pets. We hope you are doing well and looking forward to receiving new Free Information about your lovely friends.

Today we want to share with you a special post:

In the video that you will find below, you will be able to observe everything related to rabbits. You have surely wondered how to condition your space and what to feed them as soon as you bring them home.

While your adoption application is being processed, now is the time to plan your bunny's first days in its new home. When the adoption is finalized and it's time to go home, you will undoubtedly find an exciting time.

For your rabbit, this will probably be a scary time. Their home environment changes and such changes are very stressful for rabbits. However, there are a few simple things you can do to make the transition to your home easier.

When you get home with your rabbit, take him to a quiet place in your house. Keep them in a crate or small exercise area until they become familiar with your home.

Make sure his cage is stocked with all the comforts of home: litter box, food dish, water supply, a sturdy place to rest, toys, and a big pile of hay. Provide a box or cover part of the cage with a towel to give your rabbit an extra sense of security.

Try to see the world from your bunny's point of view: what are you and your home like? Lots of noise, movement and confusion will scare him even more. Because your rabbit is in unfamiliar territory, he won't feel safe.

Avoid touching or handling your new rabbit for the first day or two while he is comfortable in his new environment. You'll also want to keep your new rabbit separate from other pets until he's been checked out by your veterinarian.

During the first few weeks, your rabbit may not be "himself" as he adjusts to the big change in his life. He may be slow to warm up to you or overly affectionate. You may completely lose your litter box habits and need a refresher course after installing it.

This is all part of adaptation and needs to be balanced over time. Be patient, and don't be surprised if you continue to learn new things about your rabbit for several weeks!

Let your rabbit explore at their own pace. If he's not ready to be petted yet, talk to him or someone else while you're in his presence. Many rabbits seem to enjoy listening to their humans talking on the phone.

Go out with him like a rabbit, sitting quietly on the ground. Show him that he can jump up to you, sniff a few hits to get to know him, and then come back up. This hands-off approach paves the way for practical friendship, especially with shy or traumatized rabbits.

As your fear decreases, your curiosity increases. Place a small treat or two (a sprig of parsley or carrot, a slice of apple) and a few toys on the floor next to him to make his visit even more rewarding.

This adaptation period should be as long or as short as your rabbit wants. Trying to force it faster will actually result in a longer delay.
