Bun parents- do any of your rabbits take multi vitamins? Which ones? How? #pets #houserabbitsociety

Toys / chew-things. Bunnies need to be busy, or they can get destructive or even mean. Cardboard boxes they can hide in and do "#bunstruction" on. I like to close them up and cut a little tunnel hole on two sides so it's like a burrow.

Safe chew toys - stuff intended for rabbits, not full of chemicals. Wood or wood-adjacent things like wicker. You can get little houses/cottages of thin plywood that slot together that a lot of them like, and they double as hidey-holes.

Read as much as you can about house rabbits - the House Rabbit Society (rabbit.org) has a lot of good info on care, behaviour, etc.

Social interaction. Rabbits are social creatures. Get down on the floor and play with them. Play with rabbits is different than dogs or cats - those are both predators, while rabbits are prey animals, and have very different psychology. I wrote a long thread about thinking like a rabbit (and crammed it full of cute #photos of some of our rabbits so people would actually look at it 😀 ) that starts here:

You may want to think about a second rabbit (though read up about bonding first), because of the social aspect.

There's a good, active community of house rabbit ~~owners~~ servants in the #fediverse. Tagging posts with #HouseRabbit and #RabbitsOfMastodon will get you a lot more visibility.

But probably the single most important thing: get them #spayed or #neutered! Find a vet specializing in rabbits!

1/49 People have, on occasion, asked my partner and I about what it's like to have a house rabbit. Is it like having a dog? Or more like having a cat? It's not really like either one of those. There are similarities - they're cute, sometimes they'll come to you for attention, or for a snack, and they're good at cheering you up. #rabbit #HouseRabbit

Feral rabbits abound across Metro Vancouver. They’re cute. But can they be contained?
