As with all small pets, rabbits will need to be housed securely away from any other pets in the home.
Rabbits often enjoy the companionship of humans and can become very affectionate, enjoy taking tasty fresh forage from your hands. Rabbits don’t often enjoy being handled, can find loud noises and sudden movement scary, so they more often suited to families with slightly older children.
Rabbits need lots of space to keep them fit, healthy and happy, the ideal outdoor accommodation for a pair should consist of either a shed/wendy house or a 1.8m (6ft) single level hutch, attached to a 3m long by 2m wide by 1m high run.
Alternatively, the ideal indoor accommodation for a pair should consist of a large room that the rabbits can have 24hr access to, plus daily access to other areas in the home, as well as a secure run to use outdoors in the garden in the warmer months. It’s important they are able to hop, stretch up and jump on to things to express their natural behaviours.
