Rabbits can make great apartment pets! They’re small, quiet (kinda), and they don’t smell! Many people still consider rabbits as being strictly outside pets, but I would consider them strictly inside pets. I occasionally let them run (supervised) in the garden, but they can absolutely live indoors 100% of the time. Mine don’t even leave … Read more
No, but it’s a great, cost effective addition to their diet. They’ll still need hay though. When I was a kid, our rabbits used to eat a lot of grass. We’d pick swathes of it for them every morning. But it was more of a cost thing – why pay for veggies when the grass … Read more

Yes, yes they do. And here’s the important thing that I need you to understand: if you have a bunny that likes to chew wires, you CAN’T train it out of them. Ok, ‘can’t’ probably isn’t true. Some rabbit could probably learn not to chew wires, BUT chewing is part of being a rabbit. It’s … Read more
As rabbit owners, it’s important to keep an eye on our rabbits’ weight. But it’s not that easy. For a start, there are many shapes and sizes of rabbits. Your rabbit’s sex and age can affect their weight. And that’s before we hit the real issue: how to get your rabbit to stay still long … Read more
