Caring for Your New Rabbit
Every rabbit from Lilliam Hop Haven comes already socialised and comfortable with people — here's how to keep them happy.
Housing
Provide a clean, dry, well-ventilated hutch or indoor pen. Include nesting material and space to stretch out fully.
Feeding
80% quality hay, supplemented with fresh leafy greens, quality pellets, and unlimited clean water. Avoid sugary treats.
Handling
Handle gently and consistently from day one. Support the hindquarters — never pick up by the ears. Daily interaction keeps them social.
Enrichment
Provide tunnels, chew toys, and safe space to explore. Rabbits are curious and intelligent — mental stimulation is essential.
