Instruction
1. Consider what to live on a trellised floor rabbits are not adapted as unlike cats and dogs they have no small pillows on paws. Therefore it is worth choosing a cage with an equal floor or just to put on a trellised floor of a cage couple of boards for rest of an animal. Otherwise your pet will spend the most part of time in a tray toilet just because there it is more convenient to it to sit.
2. Choose a cage of the big size for a rabbit: cage size at least by 4 times has to surpass the animal sizes. It in case the rabbit is let out from it to run about. If he lives in it constantly, then even more spacious cage will be more preferable. It is possible to get a multilevel cage for the favourite – to him will be where to jump and warm up. It is necessary to consider that rabbits very quickly grow therefore it is possible to buy a cage about 100 cm in size at once (it does not belong to dwarfish breeds, though they will be glad to spacious housing).
3. Accustom the pet to a new spacious cage gradually if earlier he lived in a cage of the smaller sizes. It is possible to put a small cage in big and by that, without injuring a rabbit, to accustom him to the new residence.
4. Place a cage at the level of a knee on a support. Track that electric heaters and a window with its falling direct sunshine were from an animal far away – rabbits are very sensitive to high temperature, and here transfer low (minus) with ease. Drafts and dampness indoors – enemies of this animal as are dangerous to his health.
5. Place in a cage a drinking bowl for rodents, a feeding trough, yaselk for fresh hay and a lodge for rest and the pet's dream. If the special mineral stone for rodents (it can be bought in pet-shop), then it will create additional conveniences to the big-eared favourite is suspended.
6. Put in a toy cage for a rabbit: cardboard boxes (in them animals like to get and gnaw them), branches from an apple-tree (but not cherry, apricot and peach as they are poisonous for rabbits), special toys from the range of pet-shops, fabric pieces.
7. Tide up a cage of a rabbit daily. When he learns to go to a tray, it is possible to tide up less often. Every day it is necessary to change also an old forage with water for fresh. You carry out disinfection by potassium permanganate solution monthly.
