Getting Started with Raising Rabbits
Published on February 27, 2026
Raising rabbits can be a rewarding and peaceful experience.
Whether you keep rabbits as pets or for small-scale farming,
understanding their basic needs is essential.
Rabbits need a safe, clean, and comfortable environment.
Their living space should be well-ventilated, protected from extreme weather,
and spacious enough for movement and exercise.
Before bringing a rabbit home, prepare proper housing, fresh water supplies,
and a balanced feeding plan.
Rabbit Housing Essentials

A rabbit hutch or enclosure should provide protection and comfort.
Make sure the floor is dry and easy to clean. Adding soft bedding
such as straw or hay helps keep rabbits warm and relaxed.
- Provide at least 3–4 times the rabbit’s body length in space.
- Ensure proper airflow to prevent respiratory issues.
- Clean the enclosure at least once a week.
- Allow daily exercise outside the cage when possible.
Feeding and Nutrition

A healthy rabbit diet mainly consists of hay. Fresh grass hay
should make up about 70–80% of their daily intake.
You can also provide:
- Fresh leafy greens (like romaine lettuce, parsley, and cilantro)
- Limited pellets for balanced nutrition
- Fresh, clean water at all times
Avoid feeding sugary fruits too often, as rabbits have sensitive digestive systems.
