This is a follow up to Care for Rabbits: Part One. 

Once you have chosen your rabbit and have brought it home, you need to make it feel comfortable. It’ll take some time for your rabbit to come out of his cage and explore the house and/or yard because they have never been to the place before and don’t know if it’s safe to go out, so you want to coax it to come out, sweet talk to it, and if it doesn’t want to, leave the cage door open and leave it alone, but keep a close eye on it and stay near just incase something happens.

When your rabbit has gotten used to being around the place and has been hopping around, you need to give it attention and play with it. You must be carful with your rabbit because rabbits are extremely delicate creatures. If your caring it around and you drop it, it might break it’s spine and it will be the end of it. You must play gently and try to stay close to the ground because you are large to a rabbit and your size can scare it. You don’t want to scare your rabbit.

Everyday, you must change the food,(both timothy hay and pellets)and litter box. Put fresh food in the dishes and fresh litter in the box. Put them in the exact same spot or if you notice in the tray that you rabbit is going to the bathroom a lot in a certain spot.
