3 Required Items to Take Care of Your Rabbit

By Frank Froggatt

Rabbit hutch supplies are important if you are looking at keeping rabbits. The absolute necessity is that you have a rabbit hutch. If having more than one rabbit is in your sights, then you may need to have a hutch with separators or more than one hutch as oftentimes rabbits don't get along very well. Listed below are three absolute must need rabbit supplies that you must have in order to keep rabbits.

Shelter for Your Rabbit

Your rabbit needs a place to live so the first thing that you are going to have to buy is a rabbit cage or "Hutch".There are lots of different types of rabbit cages, from small to large to multiunit, and even multilevel.You are going to have to determine the space that you have available for the cage as well as how many rabbits you wish to keep in order to determine which cage you want to buy.

Rabbit Cage Waterers

The next most important thing that you need for your rabbit is a watering system.Your little guy needs water to live so providing it with inadequate water supply is vitally important. There are a lot of different types and styles of rabbit cage watering systems out there today, some of them are even automated. If you have a bunch of rabbits that you're raising for food, then having an automated water supply could be a real bonus for you and make your life a lot easier. If you just want something simple though, because you just you're just raising a single rabbit, then the simple type to straps to the outside of the cage of the tube coming out the bottom is optimal. When I was a child and raising rabbits, the type with the tube coming out of the bottom is the type that we always used.

Feeders for Your Rabbits

The last element that is required for the survival of your rabbit is food, so you will need to give it a rabbit feeder. Rabbit feeders are simple things that you strap to the outside of the hutch with a hole through the cage so that none of the space for the rabbit is lost from it being inside. The other option you could choose besides putting on one of these outside feeders is to place just a normal bowl on the inside of the cage, but this could turn out really messy. Rabbit feeders on the outside of the hutch are always the best option.
