-Keep the smell down:
Rabbits’ cages can stink—and no bunny wants to live in a smelly place. Keep your bunny neat and mess free by cleaning out his cage one to two times per week.
-Brush your bunny:
Find a good quality brush and keep a rabbit’s fuzz in control. Brushing a rabbit regularly helps to remove soft and excess hair.
-Keep the noise down:
Rabbits are naturally prey animals, so they tend to be easily frightened. They need peace and quiet, and don’t do well in noisy environments.
-Make your home unchewable:
Rabbits need to chew to keep their teeth at a length they are comfortable with. Remove anything your rabbit might chew, especially dangerous electric wires. Go to your local hardware store to purchase electric-cord covers and PVC piping to keep the wires safe.
-Learn how to hold rabbits:
Although some rabbits are OK being picked up, most rabbits don’t enjoy it. If you do want to handle your rabbit, ask your veterinarian to show you — and the kids — the proper way to hold and pick them up. A rabbit will let you know if they are uncomfortable, so it’s important to watch for cues. Moreover, rabbits have very light, fragile bones. They have to be handled in a special way, and can actually break their own bones if they squirm too much!
-Create house rules:
Because rabbits are fragile, you should create house rules about their handling. A good rule to start: Only family members can take a rabbit out of his cage. Another: the kids cannot take the bunny out of his cage when the babysitter is at the home. Not everyone can love a rabbit, though. Be sure to check if your children’s friends have allergies to bunnies before they come over to play.
-Find bunny care:
Rabbits need the same love the dogs and cats do. If your family is planning a vacation and leaving bunny behind, be sure to find a rabbit pet sitter to care for your rabbit. Some local farms and veterinarians will even watch bunnies during family trips so ask members of your community
