Answer 2

The basics:

- A large cage, which doesn't mean those tiny, crappy pet store cages. Try building your own: http://www.guineapigcages.com/

Designed with guinea pigs in mind but if you make a big one with a lid, it's a perfect rabbit cage. Cheap and easy.

- Safe bedding. No pine or cedar, those are dangerous. Aspen, fleece, Carefresh, newspaper.

- High quality pellets, hay, and fresh foods for feeding. More on the best brands and types of things to feed:

- Food bowl and water bottle.

- Hidey place.

- Litter box with safe litter (Yesterday's News works great as does wood stove pellets).

These are just the basics. I'd highly recommend spaying/neutering your rabbit. Fixing rabbits cuts down on many behavioral issues (marking, aggression, territorialism, humping), makes litter box training easier, and has some great health benefits. Unspayed female rabbits have up to an 80% chance of developing uterine cancer within their lifetimes. Read more on fixing bunnies and why it's a great idea:

Answer 7

bunnies can be potty trained too so it wont go leaving drops of p**p around your house.  My sisters bunny likes to go on bedding/litter so we put bedding in a corner in a pan in her cage only.  When it gets used to going in that place, than place bedding on the cage floor.

Answer 8

go to a petstore and ask staff.

Answer 9

· Alfalfa, radish, & clover sprouts Apple (seeds are toxic)

Basil Blueberries

Beet greens (tops)* Banana (not the peel)

Bok choy Melon

Broccoli (mostly leaves/stems)* Orange (including peel)

Brussels sprouts Papaya

Carrot & carrot tops* Peach

Celery Pear Cilantro Pineapple

Clover Plums

Collard greens* Raspberries

Dandelion greens* Strawberries

Absolutely NO Kaytee-brand Treats. And NO chocolate, cookies, crackers, pasta, or other "human treats". There is research to suggest these items may contribute to fatal cases of enterotoxemia, a toxic overgrowth of "bad" bacteria in the intestinal tract. No breakfast cereals (with the exception of Cheerios), only small amounts of bread or yogurt drops.

* = Good source of Vitamin A. Serve one portion daily.

(!) Use sparingly. High in either oxylates or goitrogens and may be toxic in accumulative quantities over time.

Endive*

Watermelon rind

Escarole

Green peppers

Kale (!)*

Mint

Mustard greens*

Parsley*

Pea pods (the flat edible kind)*

Peppermint leaves Raddichio

Radish tops

Raspberry leaves

Romaine lettuce* (no iceberg or light colored leaf)

Spinach (!)*

Watercress*

Wheat grass

I give my rabbit:

Rabbit mix, hay, water

Fresh foods: apple, bannana, beetroot, broccoli and its leaves, carrot and carrot tops, celery, celeriac, chicory, Chinese leaf, cucumber, endive, fennel, Jerusalem artichoke, kohlrabi and its leaves, melon, parsnip, peas including the pods and leaves, pear, pumpkin, radish greens, rasbery, strawberry, Swiss chard, green and red tomatoes, watercress, watermelon. You can also give her herbs in moderation. Give your rabbit only small amounts of Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, maize, mustard greens, potato, spinich, swede and turnipe, becuase they can make your rabbit sick if they eat to much. Do not feed it: tomatoe leaves, beans, potatoe sprouts and eyes, and rhubarb, which are posenouis to them. Good luck! contact me if you need anything else!
