I have had a few rabbits in the past and have one at the moment. Rabbits are a small mammal and generally tend to live outdoors although some people keep them as an indoor pet and house train them.

Rabbits are an ideal pet for both children and pet lovers alike. Apart from being cute and cuddly they don't take up to much of your time. All rabbits need is food and fresh water on a daily basis. Somewhere clean, warm and safe to live and an outside place for exercise.

Before buying a rabbit as a pet you need to buy the equipment I suggest that you buy a reasonably large hutch that has two compartments one for living and one for sleeping. You also need bedding I suggest hay or straw for the bedroom and sawdust for the living area. A bowl for the food and a water bottle for his or her water. You may also need to purchase an enclosed run depending on the area you live in and what other animals you have.

Rabbits need feeding daily with rabbit food that can be brought in pet shops and most supermarkets. They also like carrots,cabbage broccoli stems, apples and weetabix.

Rabbits occasionally need a trip to the vets to have their claws cut and sometimes their teeth filing. There are ways to avoid this to keep the nails sharp I would let my rabbit have as much exercise as possible and with regards to their teeth a branch off of an apple tree for them to knaw on seems to do the trick.

Rabbits have a life span of approximately 8 years.

A great pet for all the family but please think carefully before purchasing any animals.

Summary: A cute pet that doesn't need to much looking after
