*Food - Timothy hay based food is best, never use food with added seeds, nuts, or fillers. Selective food is alfalfa based but is considered one of the best foods for bunnies.
*Hay MUST be given everyday and a variety of hay keeps your bunny hoppy and will keep them from getting bored with one type of hay.
*Dried Forage is a great way for your bunnies to get the nutrients they need.
*Treats are fun but make sure they are healthy, no yogurt drops or sugary fruit.
*Bowls - water & food bowls should be heavy duty ceramic or the locking bowls. No water bottles.
*Litter boxes should be large and to keep your bunny potty trained hay and even the food bowl should be at one end. Bunnies eat & poop.
