Ok enough of the tips now its time for the "Rabbit Care"

Water

Every rabbit should have access to fresh clean water at all times. Without water a rabbit will not eat.

Pellets

A good quality pelleted rabbit feed is essential for maintaining good health. Pellets should make up about 80% of your rabbits diet. Young rabbits under the age of 4 month should have fresh pellets available at all times. As the rabbit matures you may need to limit the amount of pellets daily. A good basic measure for feeding an adult is 1 ounce of pellets for every pound of bunny.

Hay is also essential for a healthy rabbit's diet. Hay provides fiber which helps to keep bunnies stomach in good working order. All rabbits should have access to fresh, clean hay at all times. Babies in the nest boxes will nibble hay as their first solid food. Rabbits are naturally grazers. Feeding hay everyday helps to satisfy their urge to chew.
