Rabbits make wonderful companions for many reasons, but if you are new to rabbit care, bringing one home for the first time can feel a bit overwhelming.
While they are loving and intelligent animals, rabbits are not considered beginner pets. They require just as much care and attention as dogs or cats, but they are even more delicate - especially since their bones are fragile and they generally do not enjoy being picked up, which can make them less ideal for small children who naturally want to hold their pets.
Unlike more familiar pets like dogs or cats, rabbits have unique needs.
In fact, their care is more similar to that of a horse, particularly when it comes to their sensitive digestive systems, which play a key role in their overall health.
But with the right care, your rabbit will be a quiet, smart, and affectionate addition to your family.
If you have done your homework and feel ready to welcome a pet rabbit into your home, Chewy editorial team offers a comprehensive guide covering 6 essential tips you need to know about caring for a rabbit - so you and your new furry friend can start your journey together with confidence.
