Rabbits are far from low maintenance pets. They do require a lot of human attention, interaction and they need to socialise a lot. Even though they do look very cute and cuddle, their strong back legs and their claws can really cause some damage if they do not want to be held by you.

Rabbits are high maintenance, but if trained correctly can be a wonderful addition to your family. It really pays to do your research before you consider the adoption of your first rabbit. As a rabbit owner you really need to know what you can expect from your rabbit, and how to train them well.

When looking at cages for your rabbit, you need to consider if they will be spending most of their life in the cage or are they going to be indoor rabbits, and just sleep in their cage. If you plan for them to be in their cage full time, you need to make sure that it offers adequate protect for your rabbit pet, protection from the elements and protection from other animals that could harm your rabbit.

Rabbits need a varied diet, they can not live on rabbit pallets alone. They need vegetables like lettuce, carrots and any other similar vegetables. This provides them with nutrients that they need. They also need lots of hay not only to sleep in but to eat. So you have to ensure that they have everything their diets require.

Rabbits require a mixture of foods in their diets. As much as pallets will give them a lot of what your rabbit will require, they do require roughage from vegetables such as lettuce, carrots and similar vegetables. As well as sleeping on hay, rabbits also require hay as part of their diets.

If you are seriously considering owning a rabbit of any type, it really does pay to your research, to have a well adjusted rabbit in your family, you need to make sure that you are choosing the right type of rabbit for your family. A guide will also teach you how to train them from a early age, and get the best out of your rabbit pet.
