The first step into getting a pet rabbit, is to get a medium sized cage, rabbit pellets, timothy hay,two food dishes, one for the food pellets and the other for the hay, a litter box, soft litter for them to go in, depending on what kind of rabbit, 1or 2 water bottles and if you want to, some rabbit treats.

The second step is to set up all the things that you have recently bought in a corner of your house or outside in a covered area for a shelter or to escape the blazine heat or cold or if frightened, some place to hide. Put the cage down and set it up if you need to. Then put the litter in the litter box and stick it in any corner of the cage. After, put a certain amount of food,(depending on what kind of rabbit that you have) in one dish and a handful of timothy hay in the other. Set in the cage. Next, fill up the water bottle(s) with fresh water and stick on the cage. Make sure that they’re not above the foods. They can drip into the food dishes and make the food all soggy - your new rabbit would not like that at all.

When you are all done, you must go and choose out a rabbit. I suggest that you go to the shelter first to save a rabbit, but if there isn’t a rabbit there that you like, then go to the pet store. But i highly recomend that you go to a shelter first. It could just make difference to a rabbit’s life!
